Power manager doesn't display - so I can't get rid of the power change beep...

Hi everybody,
I just got the X200 laptop, like it very much except for the annoyingly loud beep when the system goes into stand-by. Looking trough this forum I tried many things, like changing the sound settings in regedit to 'no' and disabling the 'beep' plugin in the system settings. No luck so far. An other solution (that sounds useful) is disabling the 'beep on power changes' option in the Power Manager. But...when I open the Power Manager, it displays the welcome/info screen and then disappears! How can I get into the Power Manager??
Hope someone can help...
Cheers,
Hanneke

That's a strange one. Run Thinkvantage System Update, or just download and install most recent PM driver and software. Maybe refreshing these will give you PM back. Otherwise, I believe you may also have a setting in the BIOS for the beep. Not in front of my X100 now, but I know I have this setting on my X60s.

  • Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I can't get rid of the error message

    I just purchased a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from Blackberry's website. When I launch the Desktop manager I get this message: "Before you begin, verify that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." The troubleshooting posts I've seen on this forum include many tips (the ones I've tried are below). One in particular I can't do is "The desktop manager is showing "disabled."
    -Make sure that the user has gone into the desktop manager and selected options > connection settings > detect."
    ... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the options menu in the BB Desktop Manager.
    I have tried the following:
    uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
    moved the cable to the USB port in the back (after trying both the ports in the front) of the computer
    restarted the computer many times
    hard booted the phone by removing the battery
    plugged in, removed, and replugged in the phone.
    Also:
    The phone is installing correctly when I plug it in, but the software still doesn't seem to see it.
    In the Device Manager, the BlackBerry is showing up under Portable Devices. Double-clicking on it gives me the reassurring "This device is working properly." message.
    The Com1 port is working properly also, according to the Device Manager.
    Double-clicking on the device manager icon to get the properties shows that the Com1 port is "disconnected" -- when I try to configure it it just pops back to the disconnected state.
    If someone has an idea or something I haven't tried I'd sure appreciate it!!
    Thanks!

    Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
    You can check your USB drivers this way:
    Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
    Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
    Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
    Click on the Driver tab
    Click on the Driver Details button
    You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
    So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
    From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
    Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
    Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
    Hope this helps someone.

    How can I get rid of the display of the last played music-title
    When playing a music-title the name of the title and it's progress is displayed in the box at the top of iTunes, even if the music is already stopped or ended. This display is impeding f.i. when copying music-albums to iPhones and watching the progress. Can anyone tell me please how to make the display of the last played music-title disappear?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    OK, thank you very much, fiend.
    However: Since yesterday afternoon my e-mail-acount is being flooded with 50+ e-mails every few hours which are not at all related to my question. I'm copying the properties of one e-mail as a sample. Could you please organize this flood to stop or tell me what to do?

    EUREKA, I found the solution to my problem in a Discussion initiated by gingertodd on July 27, 2011 entitled "Safari in Lion hijacked by malware."  The solution was provided by Badunit who recommended force quitting Safari and then reopening it while holding down the Shift key.  It worked instantly, and I subsequently was able to open Safari normally by just clicking on its icon in the Dock.   THANK YOU BADUNIT!

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HOW CAN I GET RID OF THE EVENTS CATEGORY?

    There are days that I will add only one picture to iPhoto and it becomes an event. Every time I add a new picture to iPhoto 8 I get a new event. This past week I have been renaming some albums and adding new albums and folders and that has had a very undesired result of now telling me I have 26,624 items in 3,071 events. That, 26,624 number, incidentally, is the same number of photos I have in iPhoto.
    If I try to delete an event, I find I am also deleting the pictures in that event from my main iPhoto library. I have also noticed that the events in my events area are randomly numbered, not in any sort of order.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Also, iPhoto 8 does not recognize my camera (Canon PowerShot S5IS) when I try to add photos to iPhoto.

    cmiles:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't get rid of the Events mode as it's the basic container feature of iPhoto which is organized by date. You can always drag that single event onto another one in the Event mode to join them, thus getting rid of the single event. You can also do that in the Photos mode, with Event names displayed so it's like the old rolls, by dragging a photo or photos into another event.
    Regarding the problem of the camera not being recognized that's a tougher problem to fix. A workaround is to use Image Capture to upload the photos to a folder on the desktop and then import the folder into iPhoto.
    One user fixed his similar problem with an Archive and Install of Leopard and a reinstall of iPhoto from the disk it came on. As I said, not as easy a fix.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't get rid of the beeping noise!(SOLVED)

    Hey guys, so I can't get rid of the beeping noise of my laptop.
    I have an Acer Aspire 722. Every time I plug or unplug the power, it beeps. And the really annoying one, everytime I backspace, it beeps.
    I've tried going into alsa and muting beep. I put !pcspkr in modules in rc.conf.
    I don't know what else to do?
    Help will be extremely appreciated. Thanks.
    edit: unrelated but something I want to resolve. I get these debugging messages, and found to get rid of them I have to set loglevel= 3 in grub. How do I do that? (SOLVED)
    Also, I'm having an issue with x-org. Every time I try to download it, it says it is missing a file. So I figured maybe it is a mirror problem so I went to change my mirror. Pacman keeps trying to use my old mirror even when my mirrorlist does not have that mirror commented out. I also checked pacman.conf and no mirror is being loaded in there with a server=mirror syntax.
    Not sure what is happening?

  • I can't get rid of the "Install OS X" disk image...

    Several months ago (I think it was when upgrading from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3) I had trouble with two machines - my wife's MBA (Rev. A - 1.6 GHz, 2GB ram, 80 GB HDD), and my MBP, but our iMac did fine. Eventually I got both the MBA and MBP updated and they work fine. Since then I've updated the MBA so that it's running 10.6.4.
    Here's my problem: during the difficult software update somehow I was left with two (2!) "Install OS X" disk images on the MBA desktop. I cannot get rid of them no matter what I do. I've tried ejecting (and they eject - but then when you reboot the computer they come right back), I've tried using disk utility to erase them, I've tried numerous things but I can't get rid of the darn things.
    I'd given up because they weren't causing any harm. However, I've just realized I can't run TimeMachine because of the disk images - TimeMachine stops with an error message saying it can't back up two disks with the same name. I can't change the name or delete the disk images so I can't do backups.
    Any ideas on how to get rid of these silly things?

    OK, then open Disk Utility. Click on the main drive entry at the top of the sidebar list, then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see a window in which you have the three partitions displayed as rectangles one on top of the other. I'm assuming that in your case the largest rectangle is the uppermost one with the two mystery partitions at the bottom. Click in one of the smaller rectangles. You should see it become outlined in blue. Then click on the [-] Delete button. Repeat for the second small rectangle. You will now have a gray area below your OS X partition. Now click on the Apply button. It may take several minutes for the process to complete so be patient and wait until it's done. When it's finished you should see the topmost OS X partition and the remainder of the window is gray space. In the lower right corner of the OS X partition should be a sizing gadget that looks like a triangle. Use the mouse to drag the corner all the way to the bottom of the window. Click on the Apply button and wait for the process to be completed.
    This should restore your drive to it's original single volume state and get rid of the two mystery items.

  • How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

    I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

    If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks.<br />
    If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css<br />
    That is what I would do.
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

    Writelady,
    I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
    I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
    I hope that this helps,
