Presentati​on Director - "When notebook is docked" Grayed Out

I have an X61 and the option in Presentation Director that says "When notebook is docked" it completely grayed out.  I've tried everything to enable this option, but no luck.  Does anyone know how to fix this? 

Ok, I'm sorry to post this question again, but it's driving me crazy!  In Presentation Director, there is an option that says "When notebook is docked, Immediately apply this display scheme."  However, on my X61, this option is grayed out.  I've tried everything to fix this, but no luck.  It drives me crazy because I want it to automatically display on my external monitor when I dock it rather than having to fuss with it to get it to work.  Does anyone know how to make this option work?

  • When a feature is grayed out, how do you maje it active?

    Hi Don,
    Task categories are defined by the event source -- there are no default categories. So, the Task category drop-down will only be populated if the selected event source contains task categories.
    From you description, the task categories was also grayed out, although you selected the source event: "Microsoft Windows security auditing". In this case, please filter the event logs without task categories, then check if there is any event
    log available in the result.
    >>I find that I can filter archived logs and get the Task category  option when I create custom view based on the current security log then filter it by changing "By log Event logs:"
    to the archived log and changing "Logged:" to a date within the range of the log. 
    Would you please also post the screenshot to help me to understand?
    In addition, to filter archived event logs, you can also use Windows Powershell like:
    Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{Path="C:\fso\SavedAppLog.evtx";ProviderName="security";Id=4624}
    Refer to:
    Use PowerShell to Parse Saved Event Logs for Errors
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • Dial up modem problems when notebook is docked.

    When my ProBook 6470b is in its docking station (Part no. VB041AA#ABA), the notebook's internal, dial-up modem, can't be used. In order to use the dial-modem, I must shut down the computer, dismount it from the docking station, turn it on, log in, and then restart it and log in again.  This is most inconvenient and no one in my company's tech support center understands this issue.

    Hi, Does your docking station have a phone jack ? Please use it - I have to do the same with my Dell, when I want to use LAN cable I have to connect to the dock, not to the laptop. Regards.

  • Presentati​on Director V4.50 dock settings

    Hey everyone, I just got some X201's in and when they got rolled out to users I found out that the settings for "When Notebook is docked - Immediately apply this display scheme" and the ability to create new Schemes are gone. I've been browsing the Lenovo site and they don't have a page specific to Presentation Director, or do they keep a page for versioning/changes that I can find. Anyone have any idea on how to get those options back?
    Thanks

    Hi dchiang and chewbee, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
    Since it has its own good built-in presentation features, Presentation Director is not supported on Windows 7:

  • Connect to Remote Host - Grayed Out

    Hi, thanks for reading this...really appreciate.
    Had just been connecting remotely w DW and now not able to. Can connect via Transmit, just fine. What do you think? Have shut down, restarted. Still the connect button greyed out. Also, can connect in the Site Management Settings area...when clicking 'Test'. It connects just fine.
    As you can see, when it is not grayed out when romote view is not showing...when even when clicked, nothing happens:
    The Repository Files button is activated. Dont even know what that is. Have been using DW since 2000. Ha! Maybe that is stopping something? Tried unclicking it, but whatever site definition I go to, the Repository Files button is still pushed down/activated.
    What do you think?
    Thanks so very much,
    Warmly Hope

    Well, it is working now. Had to select 'remote' view, when in the non dual remote/local view of files. Weird. Now that Repository Files button isnt clicked any more either....
    Thanks to all the 56 people who read this....must have done something.....
    Lots of bliss

  • When clicking on the Finder icon in the dock the Main Menu grays out ... what's wrong ... how do I fix?

    Product: iMac, OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 32 GB 160 MHz DDr3
    Storage: 3.12 TB Fusion Drive
    PROBLEMS:
    1. When clicking on the Finder icon in the dock, the main menu grays out and the window with documents, applications etc., does not pop up.
    2. iMac is not showing up in iCloud.com and, not syncing with my MacBook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone.
    This situation seemed to appear after doing updates on my iMac.
    TROUBLESHOOTING I'VE TRIED:
    1. rebooted,
    2. repaired permissions,
    3. booted in safe-mode and let the basic tests run then rebooted to normal mode. Afterwards, the problem seemed to be corrected, however, it re-appeared shortly thereafter and still exists.

    Go to the Finder's General preference pane and reset the New Finder windows show: option.  Try changing it to some other folder, try it and then back again.
    If that doesn't jump start it try moving the com.apple.finder.plist file from your Home/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop, reboot and then reset the Finder preferences.
    For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

    For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
    How can I restore the "open with" selection?
    Thanks for your time,

    You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

    I have MacKeeper installed
    Oh dear.
    Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
    Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
    Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
    No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
    MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed, with a history of making false advertising claims, by a company called Zeobit and a rip-off.
    For more details about Zeobit’s alledgedly fraudulent advertising and paid-for ‘reviews’, and their dubious marketing practises, read this:

    Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:

  • My iphone 4s only works when plugged in, experiences random crashes, and the wifi is grayed out?

    First post here. I'm experiencing some pretty complicated issues with my iphone 4s of several years, which began yesterday at random. I'm sorry for the length, but if someone could read through all of this and help me out, I would be so grateful.
    I started experiencing some complex issues with my iphone yesterday, seemingly at random. I was taking a phone call, and all of a sudden, my phone goes dark. The battery was between 50%-80% at the time. I immediately plugged it in, and the apple logo appeared and began to power on. When it came back on however, I immediately noticed some changes. For starters, the battery leapt to 100%. The top corner of my phone where the carrier and bars should be says "searching..." (this never goes away). When I go into settings, the wifi is grayed out and says "no wifi."
    That's not the worst of it though. As of last night, the number of times my phone crashes has gotten progressively worse. Now, even when I plug my iphone in to a wall charger, it stays on for maybe 1-4 minutes before it crashes completely. After this, it sometimes restarts itself. Before the shut-down, there are usually some weird bars or colors that flash across the screen (it's always different). I'm running on ios5 (I just really like the layout so much more, so I never bothered updating).
    I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary to my phone. I walked in the rain for a short while when it was in my back pocket, but I've done this many times before and I don't see how that could create massive water damage. Also, it worked perfectly fine for a few hours after I got home. Quite literally, this just happened out of the blue. No warning, no signals, nothing. So far, I've tried...
    - turning it on and off (duh)
    - doing a hard reboot by holding down the middle and top buttons, several times
    - resetting the network settings
    - turning off data roaming and toggling airplane mode on and off
    I even attempted the freezer trick. I didn't put the phone in the actual freezer because I was worried about condensation, but I did set it down on an icepack. This seemed to keep it alive a little bit longer before crashing, but only marginally so. My original plan was to plug my phone into my computer and download all my pictures and whatnot before attempting a complete data wipe and factory reset, but this also seems impossible. When I plug the phone into my laptop, the little apple logo comes and goes, but it simply never powers on fully. And even if it did, I doubt it would stay on long enough for me to complete a download without things crashing.
    I'm totally lost here. Is my phone wrecked? I'm sensitive about my privacy, so I'm not crazy about the idea of taking my phone to the apple store and having them make some sort of copy of my data. I'm also not crazy about uploading all of my phones data to iTunes or the cloud or something like that. In addition to this, I don't know how I would salvage my in-app data. That's also something I'm worried about. I can't attempt to update my ios without wifi or the ability to plug my phone into a computer. All of this would be a lot easier if I could keep my iphone on longer than 2 minutes.
    I've had this phone for years. I really don't want to just let it die at random and never even know why. I just feel like this hit me out of nowhere. Any suggestions about what I could do? I'm willing to try everything. I'm planning on calling apple, but I was thinking of asking online first.
    BONUS: if anyone could answer these extra questions (you don't have to), that would be awesome! When you do a complete data wipe and restore your iphone to factory settings, where does all of your data go? Is it actually *gone* for good? I'm not just talking about photos, but also internet history, in-app data, and youtube history from the youtube app. Does it disappear completely? Or does it get stored somewhere. Also, is there anyway to downgrade a new iphone to an earlier ios without jail breaking it? I've pretty much lost hope with this phone, but if I get a new one, I just wish there was some way to keep using the old ios I'm used to.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can answer these questions.

    I have tried everything
    If that is the case, by definition there is nothing left you can do...
    Did you try connecting to another computer?  Did this computer ever detect the phone?  Does the USB system on your computer work normally with other devices?  What is your computer OS version?  iTunes version??

  • When I click on a result of a Google search and then go that web site, the Back button on the toolbar is grayed out and I cannot return to the search results.

    When using FF3.6 and making a Google search, when I click on a result and then go that web site, the Back button on the toolbar is grayed out and I cannot return to the search results without going to History. This does not happen all the time; about 1/2 of the time.
    This problem is not limited to Google, but occurs with other sites as well.

    If you are talking about searches from - http://www.google.com/ - are you logged into a Google account all the time? If so, check your "Search Settings" from the "gear" in the upper-right corner of that Google search page and see if you have '''Open search results in a new browser window.''' check-marked, at the bottom of that preferences page. When that is check-marked and you have Tab options in Firefox set to '''Open new windows in a new tab instead''', you will get search results always opening in a new tab instead of the same tab. As to why that works different for "sponsored links" I don't know, I haven't seen the "sponsored links" for years now, I have a GM script that blocks those advertisements.

  • I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

    I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

    Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).
