Rescue and Recovery 4 does not work)))

All of the sudden my ThinkPad R61 does not start Win XP anymore. As there is not much data on the machine I tried to use the Recovery & Rescue CD that came with the ThinkPad as described in document MIGR-70803 (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70803).
I can see the screen shown under step three (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/tvt_startup.gif) and after that the one shown under step four (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/rnr_startup_screen.gif).
On this screen appears a dialog box saying "Warten bis Initialisierung der Services abgeschlossen ist." (Wait until initializing of services has been completed). After a wile the dialog box disappears and a few seconds later the CD stops turning.
After nothing happened for quite some time the machine reboots and the process starts again.
What type of recovery is that? How can I get my machine back to work?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,
what you are experiencing for a situation is not directly caused by the REcovery program. This is some failure of the startup process. The process, that you see is correct, and also that the CD stops to turn is correct, as the files are copied on the local HDD. Once it stops turning, it should take about 2 min and then should a new screen popp up.
As this is not happening, then this might be some issue with the load process, or of the driver.
Please go to BIOS and change the SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility, if this will change the situation.
In case it will not, then please tell me, what is the exact issue, that you see, when you try to start into Windows.
Please also run the HDD advanced test from the BIOS, so that you can be sure, that this might not be caused by a damaged HDD.
Please keep me posted.
Cheers

Rescue and Recovery 4 not working

We just received a M58 7360-APU to test with. Since we are using this machine for our next refresh, I'm creating an image for the machine. But first I needed to create a set of recovery disks so I could bring it back to original when I am done. I created a full set of restore disks using R&R 4. Now I'm testing the set. When it finishes, it reboots and starts running a repair on the installation. When it finishes, in the log it shows:
Root Cause Found:
No OS Files found on disk
Repair action: Partition Table Repair
Result: Failed. Error Code = 0x490
Time taken = 6989ms
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I need to restore it because I need to get the Thinkvantage software off of it.

How many discs did you burn? A self made set of recovery discs for a T61 with Vista should be a total of 3 discs, 1x boot cd and 2x recovery dvd. Maybe you only created the rescue disc?? More information can be found here

Rescue and Recovery will not install on Windows 7 upgrade

I have a thinkpad SL500 that I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 a week ago. I have tried to install Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery but get this error message during the initial install: "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the operating system which upgrade from legacy preload system."
I did load Win 7 32 bit from a legacy Vista preload system. I have been trying to install R&R v4.5. Is there a workaround to get ThinkVantage R&R on this Windows 7 machine? Thanks, John

Win 7 does come with it's RE environment. On my pc I can:
(1) boot into windows 7 (default)
(2) PF8 boot windows into Safe mode, which will allow me to Launch the Windows recovery environment. This is
mostly a Repair environment, but can invoke other items, such as Windows restore. This is NOT an restore from backup tool , per se.
(3) PF 11 boot into RNR standalone environment.
All 3 have Bootable software on my C drive, and entries in the BCD (boot control data). Could you document what your pc/laptop was shipped with from Lenovo. An original windows vista or windows 7? A shipped Lenovo, with win 7,should have a Z partition and a X partition. One has the RNR standalone, the other has the Factory install data to reset back to OBE, out of the box experience.
Did you purchase a WIN 7 DVD upgrade disc from a retailer? Could you also post a screen shot from Disk management that shows the attributes of the D drive. I am trying to find out if the D drive is Active
Check under the status line, HEALTHY(Active,primary partition). Did you try the Diskpart command?.
You do not need to worry about SYSPREP. It is mainly an Administrator tool for deploying system images.
By the button, do you mean the Thinkvantage blue button? This just tells the BIOS to boot into the RNR standalone environment. My original system was a Vista. Thus I have no experience verifying the X and Z drives. This info is just from reading other posts.

As a side note, Does your win 7 support Bitlocker? Can you view the contents of YOUR D drive?

My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

‘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.

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

 Mac OS X (10.6.7),
"Limit the Logs to the Bits above Binary Images."  No, Seriously

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

I have downloaded an app and it does not work

I downloaded two apps. They are both are the same application, on;y difference is that one is the 2.0 version and the other 3.0 version.
When I downloaded the 2.0 version I thought this was the latest version, but turns out there was another newer version. But I tried the 2.0 version first and this does not work on my mac. The application is Wondershare Data Recovery. It is not able to see any devices on my mac.
So tried the 3.0 version and again same problem, does not work, funny because after careful researching on what product to buy I decided to download the trial version and it works fine. Only thing is that I need to but the full version to successfully retrive my disappeared images from memeory card, from my camera phone.
anyway the point is, I have just wasted £95, and I would like this back, or at least the problem resolved. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Updated -
I only find the v3.0 in the UK Mac App Store (MAS). But on the developer's website I find two separate apps; Wondershare Data Recovery for Mac, which is v3.0 and Wondershare Data Recovery for iTunes, which is v2. Where did you buy Data Recovery for iTunes? I don't find it sold in either the MAS or the iTunes App Store.
Have you used the support link to the developer on the apps pane in the MAS? That is who Apple will direct you to contact.
Did you remove the trial version before downloading and installing the paid MAS version(s)?

Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
Just a guess.

Purchased an App and it does not work. How can I get a refund for it.

I purchased an app for my son, for his ipad and it does not work. Halo Waypoint for $5.99. When you log in, it just starts loading then an message saying "Sign in Trouble, we couldn't sign you in to Xbox live. Your windows Live ID information is correct, but Xbox Live is unavailable. PLease try again later. We have been trying to for the past 4 days. Reading the reviews it appears that several people have the same problem. So how can we get our money back?

Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.

It appears that this is due to firmware corruption and you can fix it by using the micro USB cable and hooking it to iTunes. I have not tried it yet but supposedly several people were able to resolve their problem this way. If you do try it, let me know. I don't have the cable at this time.

You most likely have a failure of the WiFi chip.
Restore the phone as a new device. If that doesn't solve your problem, you'll have to bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you are not within the warranty period, expect to pay $199 for out of warranty replacement.
