Simple Tap and the Lenovo T61p

I loaded in the Lenovo product that was brought to me by Lenovo....Simple Tap.
However, it loaded...and then crashed the system in what appears to be a small conflict with a CAD program that I run many hours a day.
I'm sure Lenovo wouldn't reccomend that I download & install a product that doesn't work with the obvious system that I have used for a few years. At this time, the installed product brings up the SimpleTap pages and large icons...but, the screen touch is not there for anything.
Did lenovo make an error in their suggestion that I install this new product for touch screen assets on a semi-elderly T61p thinkpad that doesn't recognize the touch screen actions. There's not a lot of detail for troubleshooting or a help manual to check on any issues. There's even less information in Community for stepping through any set-up for this age of laptop.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
Simple Tap seemed like a good idea that arrived via Lenovo to my message board yesterday and further described as:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS012888
It installed fine, but it's mouse driven...not the "screen tap-app" as I had hoped. It did crash on the first issue, however the auto-update post reboot sent along the latest version. However...it's still inoperative as touch screen.
It is a puzzlement<G
Thanks again for the reply and any thoughts on this topic du jour.

K1 and the Lenovo N6901 Bluetooth Mouse

In case anyone is interested, I ordered the Lenovo N6901 Bluetooth Mouse from the Lenovo website (only $15 with the eCoupon code), and it works great with the K1. Pairing was simple and trouble-free, so I was up and running in only a couple of minutes. It even kind of matches the look of the (black) tablet. The mouse cursor on screen is a bit small, but not too bad. I'm not sure if there is any way to adjust it? The scroll wheel seems to work well in most apps (except Firefox?!), and I already like that much better than having to do repeated swiping to scroll a screen.
The most amazing part is that it arrived the 2nd day after I ordered it! Now if only my USB Host cable would get here!

Currently available for $15.99 with free shipping, if anyone is interested:

Simple crop and the file size triples

Good day,
I'm trying to figure out why a video encoded using AME comes out with a much bigger file size than the original. Even if all I'm doing is using it to trim the source file. No change in settings, bit rate, dimensions etc.
In the current example I'm taking a webex recordings and trimming out some dead space in the beginning. I've lowered every setting (video and audio) I can to it's lowest potential and the resulting file looks worse than the original and is triple the file size. Both the source and the result are .mp4.
Please assist. The is making the files go from email-able to not. Making a video shorter shouldn't make it larger....
Thank you for your help.

When encoding to virtually ANY format, you will be able to set the BITRATE. This determines how big or small an output file is. Apparently, the file you are creating is running about 3x the bitrate of the source file. You can adjust the bitrate under the VIDEO tab in AME.
Not knowing the specs of the source, I can't suggest how to export. Perhaps if you post a screen shot of your export panel in AME, that will help. Note that if you choose "HD 1080p" H.264 preset that will be much larger than say "YouTube 1080p", there are many options.
Thank you

Simple Class and the Display List

I have very simple code for a class:
package
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class Greeter extends Sprite
        public function Greeter()
            var txtHello:TextField = new TextField();
            txtHello.text = "Hello World";
            trace("hi");
            addChild(txtHello);
The above file is saved as Greeter.as in say folder C:\test
I then create a Fla file named test_display.fla (saved in C:\test) and its contents are:
import Greeter;
var tt:Greeter = new Greeter();
Now the Output window shows hi due to the trace statement but the addChild method should show
Hello World in the Flash movie but it does not. The only way to get Hello World to the Flash Movie
is to change the test_display.fla to:
import Greeter;
var tt:Greeter = new Greeter();
addChild(tt);
In other words I have to use the addChild method twice ( once in Greeter.as and once in test_display.fla )
to get Hello World to display in the Flash movie. Does anyone know why this is so?

Thanks Andrei1,
I honestly am having trouble with your answer. I am sure it is correct, I just don't get it right now.
As a slight twist on the original code say for example you want to get Hello World to output
inside the output window NOT the Flash movie. I see the code snippet inside the class it reads:
var txtHello:TextField = new TextField();
txtHello.text = "Hello World";
So now inside the FLA file ( not inside the class file ) I have tried various ways to get Hello World to print in output window:
I have tried trace(tt.text); and I get an error.
So the question is I know tt is an instance of Greeter and inside Greeter I see
where Hello World is assigned via:
txtHello.text = "Hello World";
So the question is why can't I get Hello World to print in the output window ( using trace) via
the instance tt somehow?

Problem with lenovo t60 and the vga output

I have a problem with the vga output and the lenovo t60
When i put the videoprojector connector in to the lenovo t 60, the projector reponde is:
Not supported
H: 48.20khz v: 143,10 hz
On my desktop pc the projector function on 1024x768 resolution and the 60 hz to refresh.
The same configurations are on my laptop and the projector doesn't function
Please help me.

I too have this problem. My T61 worked fine for about a year, and then suddenly would no longer project. I had made no changes to the settings for the external display, though since the problem started I've tried many combinations without success. Typically the projector reports that the frequency settings the laptop is sending are unsupported. In my case the vertical rate is usually correct (60 Hz) but the horizontal rate varies wildly.
I suspect a hardware problem, as this post suggests: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/32128-laptop-wont-display-projector.html. (Note the message claiming that 6 out of 40 Lenovo laptops exhibited this problem.)
Since my system is still under warranty I guess I'll have to get it repaired, but I'd rather hear of a software fix...

T400s appears to be gone from the Lenovo site

Anyone know if the T400s is coming back to the Lenovo site? All I see is the T400, T500 and T410. I did read that Lenovo is backed up on T410s and T510 orders, and that's why they are not there at the moment. I would think they'd still have a stack of T400s boxes to sell.

mark_T40s wrote:
Jeez... this random shutdown thing sounds ugly. I was just at the Microsoft store this evening. They are selling the T400s (2801-AQU boxes) for just under 1100 bucks. Seems like a deal I can't pass up... but not if I have to deal with this crap. Seems like Lenovo is ignoring the forum community from what I can tell.
I've been using Thinkpads for years, but maybe I should start looking at a Mac.
Figure the T400s was not ready for prime time when it was released.
Mark_T40s: I do not think that every T400s has the shutdown issue. Certainly, mine doesn't. I have been using mine since late October, 12 hours or more every day. I had only one shutdown while I am away. The event log shows several Microsoft updates right before the shutdown, and I did not lose anything. So, it could be a MS's fault or a normal shutdown after the operating system figured out there was no unsaved work. On some Dell forum, I see users report the same shutdown. Among my colleagues and friends, only some said they had shutdowns and they only happened with Windows 7. Ubuntu appears to run problem free.
On the other hand, I have had good experiences with this forum and the Lenovo support. In October, I reported a ghost tap problem with the multi-touch LCD on T400s in this thread. I thought it was a hardware issue. In about 25 days as you can see from the thread, I was provided a new driver by a technician who worked on the problem and came up with a solution. The shutdown problem is much more difficult to deal with. It takes time to collect sample units, trigger the shutdowns, look for reasons, and come up with solutions.

In new iPad 4g, when sim card is not inserted, I can not find the enable 4g tap in the setting-cellular data tap, can some one please tell me if this is normal and if so, then when it appears, thanks

If the SIM is out of your phone, find my phone needs a data connection, so could use wifi - IF in range of a wifi and one that it can join (ie. a known network or one that is wholly open so no login required). Your phone could also simple be turned off, so not findable, or it may have been restored (plugged into iTunes and restored as new) again, making it permanently unfindable. Honestly, for someone stealing an iPhone, this is likely the first thing they do - restore as new and it is theirs forever.
Find my iPhone is tied to the users iCloud account - the find function is part of the iCloud account's services and it communicates with the iCloud servers over a data connection - either wifi or 3G.
Have you set up your iCloud account on your replacement phone, and is it working properly on that phone?

The demise of DV tape and other tales

After reading through many of the posts, I am getting more confused, probably because I do not understand the foundations well enough.
It is my understanding that DV mini tapes are going to disappear as media, including for the capture of Hi def.
It appears that other kinds of media, roughly equivalent to hard drives, flash drives etc will succeed as the media on which the video camera will "store" the video images, frames etc. Leaving aside format issues, what impact does the move to such media have on "capture" or "ingestion" of the data from those drives from the video cameras so equipped? For example, certain brands (one?) of DV -tape based video cameras work best when they have their own FW bus to send the data. Will this be the case using the new media?
Leaving aside the need to have greater storage capacity on the computer to hold HD downloads, What more components will be needed in the new dawn? And no, this question is not prompted by the presence of an iMac in my office. It is prompted by long term planning needs. If there are links and sources that explain the future, that would help. But the expertise on this Forum may be more insightful.

Ah! I wish there was a link to a source that could explain the future, next weeks lottery numbers maybe!
I have moved from DV and DVCAM to a Panasonic HVX200 P2 camera. The camera does have a DV tape mechanism but it will only record standard def DV footage to the tapes. The camera has two card slots and a range of P2 cards are available 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB with 64GB cards coming soon. The camera can record in many different formats to the cards from DV up to DVCPro 1080 50i (PAL) and 60i (NTSC).
There are gadgets and adapters to connect the cards to the computer or you can just connect the camera via Firewire (Mac) or USB (PC). The video footage is already in the form of a data file so in essence, all you have to do is copy the files to the computer and your away. It really is that simple.
I would hope that in the future the equipment manufacturers will continue to use these standard connection formats that have been in use now for quite a number of years. USB and Firewire are fairly reliable and easy to use.
The manufacturers of cameras need to supply the software developers (Apple for instance with FCP) with the CODECS that the cameras use so that the software will recognize and decode the footage. I use (and love) Final Cut Pro and Apple was very quick to adopt CODECS for the P2 system. It has always worked flawlessly for me.
It's a fact of life that with progress comes updated and new equipment. I go back as far as UMATIC, then UMATIC SP, Betacam, Betacam SP, Then onto the cheaper DV and DVCAM formats and now I have gone (almost entirely) tapeless and I'm not looking back.
Others will remember film and many other video formats, 1", MII, VHS and SVHS etc.
Tape has still got a few years of life yet. It is still the cheapest (gigabyte for gigabyte) and most stable way or storing video. Some people will be reluctant to go to solid state recording yet. The biggest drawback to tapeless is that you have no 'rushes tapes' to go back to. What do you do when the edit os finished, do you throw away the original footage files or do you archive them. And to what, tape? That somewhat defeats the object. Maybe as hard drives get cheaper they will be the archive of choice.
To sum up, I went tapeless last year and it's made my life much easier. I've been waiting for this format for years and now it's here it doesn't disappoint.

Rant: Anyone else find the Lenovo parts site offensively difficult to use and useless?

I just tried to find a part on the Lenovo website, and found it to be just about as bad an on-line experience as one could imagine. Without a doubt, the worst example of e-commerce I have ever experienced. My situation: I know what FRU I need. So first, the site makes it impossible to look up directly. Why? Why, if I know a part number, does Lenovo make it hard to buy that part directly?
Ok, you play the cares your dealth. So I played by their rules. I tried to look up my model as requested. First, I filled out the asked-for model number (on http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:show-categor... But entering the number doesn't do anything! Hmmm. There is also a spot for me to "select my product". This is a pull-down list with 100s of items long - literally every Lenovo products ever - that is NOT ORGANIZED IN ANY WAY. Are these people crazy? Do they value my time so little, or customer satisfaction so little, that they don't care if their site wastes my time and I can't get the product I need? Then more fun. After putting in my model number and actually finding "W530" in a random list of dozens of thinkpad laptops, the site threw an error. It explained to me that I must have entered a number wrong. I've managed SW products, and this is unacceptable. The customer should never, ever, be allowed to enter anything close to something that is not recognized.
I've gotten good service when I 've called in. But based on this site alone, I'd never buy another Lenovo product again. And I'd recommend the same to others. I'm going on a rant to several forums about this, as well. Seriously, the worst website I've ever used is ... from a computer company? Really? A parts site, which you may be calling under extreme stress, does nothing but add more stress and frustration?
The W530 may be my last Lenovo. Which bums me out: I love the machine.
Smart people will recognize that i wrote this to vent, yes, but also to suggest to Lenovo that they have a significant opportunity for improving a competitive disadvantage and making it an advantage.

im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck.

Help
Please!

Ok, so we have a misbehaving free app or a misbehaving App Store app. First thing I would do is quit the App Store app like this:
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
Ten try again to update the app in question.
Still getting the wrong Apple ID? Just delete the news app in question from your phone. Then go back into the App Store and find the app again. It should show FREE next to it. Download it to you phone.

Hi, bamboo64.
Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Once this is done test the results. If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

My mac book pro does not boot up correctly anymore after doing some updates. I did have my ipod charging to my mac book. I ran the simple updates and never go to the maverick update and now my computer will not boot correctly. Help!

Please help my computer is not repsonding after doing some simple updates. I follow the instructions and which is simply click for the update to take place. I did what I was instructed to do. I did not do the new update for the Mavericks yet. I just did simple updates. The computer shutted down and restarted but would never get pass the grey screen with the spinning wheel and the booting bar that would not go past a certain point befor shutting off again. The computer is practically brand new. I purchased the computer from best by 2012 and the warrenty just ended the past October. I hardly use the computer maybe 4 times since I have had it because I have another main computer that I uses. However, I don't want to do a hard rest becuase I do have the entire adobe suits software that I paid for and don't want to loose. I have an appointment with apple today to see what they say but I hope that my computer that I hardly every use is not defected after doing a updated pushed by Apple. Any thoughts or suggestions???? Thanks in advance Apple Family :-)

Well, I was at Apple for sometime on that day. I got a Genius that did not want to work. She basically jumped to the money to tell me that my hard drive was no good and that I was out of warranty (October 2013). I began to explain to her that I had only used the computer 5 times and that I don't use this computer as my main computer because I also have a Toshiba that is less expensive that I have had for several years and not one issue out of it. The rep told me that I could by a new hard drive for $161.00 and that I would loose all of my software and photos that I have on this computer. However, I told her that it's bazaar that it happens right after my warranty goes out and had I used it more often when in warranty before October then I would have been covered. Keeping in mind that I would still be very disappointed with the product because I would loose all of my information and it would not make sense to me why the hard drive fails on a very gently used computer. So I asked for a manager and it took her some time to get one. In the mean time I watched how the other Geniuses interacted with the other customers and seen that they were very engaging with convo and very help. I guess I just I got another lemon when I got my rep. When the manager finally came. I went from A-Z with the issues and that I felt that something could or should be done because the rep said that she did tests on my machine and it read to her that my hard drive was bad and there was nothing that could be done. I explained that I was not looking forward to paying for services to have my new computer repaired. The manager offered to give me 25% off the cost but I still didn't feel that it was effective. After he left and the rep wrote the notes in the system, I told her that I didn't think that all options had been exhausted and that there was something else that could be done. I told her to erase the machine and see if the updates could be installed and if the system would continue to do the same thing. The rep was hesitant and said that I would loose everything which we already know that we were at conclusion from the beginning. She assured me that I would happen again and that I would need a new hard drive. I just told her to erase the machine and get me another manager because I was just getting tired of her unhelpfulness and negative perspective. The new manager came and was very pleasant and I explained everything once again from A-Z. I informed him that I had the machine erased and that I need his help with options because I don't feel that the rep or the last manager was resourceful or helpful. He apologies for the actions of the reps and proceed to tell me that they will run all the updates in the store and that if it booted correctly that I should continue to use the machine with out adding the adobe software back on just incase that it crashes again and I'm out of money once again. However, if it does happen again and it is a hard drive issues that he would work with me to resolve the issues. As my computer went through the process of rebooting from out of the box stage another rep approached me because he could tell that I was upset and not happy. I told he what had happen and he said I think I can help you a little more. He said that I just want to run further testing on you computer for different components to make sure that everything would work properly and pin point any issues. I was delighted with that option. Anything would help at this time especially someone who is willing to help. The first test that he ran was to for the hard drive and he said that since it failed the test the first time could be because the software update glitch and did update correctly which would make the test faulty and be negative. As I sit with finger crossed the test came back as a pass test that my hard drive was not the issue and that the update was the cause and that I did not have to buy a new hard drive. I was happy that the computer was ok but I lost information. All of the updates were done in the store and everything works fine now. If I was not persistent about my gut feeling then I would had left out thinking that I had to pay for a new hard drive that I really didn't needed. Now I can invest that money in a external hard drive to start backing up my information. Lesson learned by I'm still on the fence about things but I hope all is well. I really went through a lot. No help or no service was not an option that I was taken. I hope that it helps.
