Sneak Peek - New Lenovo X300 ThinkPad (Picture warning - images included)

Walt Mossberg had some interesting first impressions of the X300 ThinkPad on his blog today...
It will be interesting to see what his longer term impressions are after he has a chance to work with the system more extensively....
What do you think?

Bluetooth [Picture Warning]

Hello all, am new here, but not new in IT.
I did a fresh installed and now i can't seem to get my bluetooth to work. I'm on a thinpad x60.
My Bluetooth service is running.
Under device manager , under "Bluetooth devices", it says "Thinkpad bluetooth with enchanced data rate".
I remember everytime i logged into windows the first thing it would ask me for the drivers for it. so i downloaded it from here, rebooted, but now my Bluetooth icon staysd red .
when i go to Bluetooth config-->Diagnostics, it says "Bluetooth device is not detected".
How do i go about fixing this ?
edit : everything in the BIOS is set to enabled
cheers

How can I get rid of windows 8.1 in my new lenovo and get windows 7 put in?

How can I get rid of Windows 8.1 on my new Lenovo laptop and install Windows 7?

Hi,
I'll assume your laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
1. Start by copying all your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favourites, local databases,
hosts files, etc) into an external disk, DVD, tape, whatever.
2. If I were you, I wouldn't use Windows 8.1 backup tool, I'm not sure Windows 7 Restore applet will be able
to read a Windows 8.1 backup.
3. Check that you have all the necessary licenses, CDs and executables to reinstall your former Windows 7
applications, components, browsers, plugins, Java, .NET Frameworks, etc. Be aware that some applications require
to keep same hostname and/or same IP and/or or same local username (or all of them) as they were on the original
Windows 7 machine.
4. Check that you have your Windows 7 CD and license handy.
5. Do you have a Windows 7 image backup of your laptop (prior to the Windows 8 upgrade)?
5.a Yes? Then restore that image and restore your personal folders on top. You might need to
install or reinstall some of the applications I mentioned on #3
5.b No? You'll have to format your laptop, install Windows 7 from scratch, create your local
user with administrative rights, install SP1, install necessary updates, reinstall all your
applications and finally restore your personal folders.

Sneak Peek #2 of future Photoshop functions: Background Save and Liquify enhancements.

As Marian has astutely observed, post-CS5.5 and the introduction of the new upgrade policy, these drip fed sneak peeks are now less about trying to convince us to upgrade and more about feature freeze.
What's the feature(s) that'll get the Twitterverse trending hot enough for Adobe to shelve further new features until CS7?
We must remain underwhelmed at all times in order to encourage further innovation.
I seem to be in the minority, but I don't buy into that idea. It makes perfect sense for Adobe not to reveal too much too early about the CS6 features.
On the one hand, it would be foolish to show all their cards to competitors too early in the game, for fear of copy-cat features. I know people keep saying that PS has no serious competition, but that could change in a hurry.
On the other hand, developers have to iron out any serious bugs in the new features before the product is released. Sometimes even with carefully scripted development cycles and passionate developers who work 16 hour days and on weekends, some show-stopping bug can turn up that can't be fixed by the planned release date. The only options are to postpone the product release, or leave out the feature. It would cause a lot of disappointment to announce new features and raise the customers' expectations too early, only to have to renege later on.
Of course. Agreed.
The traditional titillation tactics of drip feeding and slow reveal for a new version in progress to try and kickstart the buzz still serve a purpose but Adobe is creating its own mountain to climb.
The greatest competition for the next version of Photoshop is always previous versions of Photoshop. Convincing people who are still getting used to CS4 and CS5 to upgrade to CS6 is not trivial. That's always been the case because Photoshop usually sets its own benchmarks. For that, we can applaud Adobe.
But Adobe's board obviously feels that the lure of new features alone in each new version is not strong enough to keep the share price going North. Hence the ill conceived one version back policy.
But times are changing and by Adobe painting its users into a corner with unpopular forced upgrades, its simultaneously creating an exponentially greater sense of expectation for each new version.
"OK if we're prisoners in the upgrade cycle and we must upgrade for big bucks with every new version, then we demand far greater value for money than ever before. Turn the volume up to 11 every time".

Adobe Audition CS6 sneak peek

Hi everyone,
I invite everyone to take a look at a little sneak peek video of Audition CS6 over at http://adobe.ly/H1hDCa
In this sneak, we show off some of the new functionality implemented for CS6 including Clip Grouping and Automatic Speech Alignment. (You may have seen some tech demos of the latter at some industry events or online last year.) Eagle-eyed viewers may find a bit more!
Durin
Edited message with shorter link.

Acquistai, a suo tempo, l'aggiornamento del programma Adobe Audition CS6, essendo già in possesso della versione CS5.5. Poichè ho dovuto rifare il sistema operativo (windows 7 professional a 64 bit), reistallando il programma CS6, con il relativo serial number in mio possesso, ho notato un mal funzionamento e cioè:
importando un motivo musicale e avviando il programma, cliccando su play, non mi riproduce nessun motivo o canzone pur essendo in funzione.
Ho reinstallato il programma,ma senza risultato alcuno. Cosa devo fare? Grazie.

Lots of goodies seen at the Adobe RoboHelp STC sneak peeks

In three different sessions at the STC conference in
Minneapolis I saw pre-beta demonstrations of RoboHelp "next".
Certainly there's a mind-boggling number of new features. But more
than that, Adobe has spent a lot of time listening to authors about
ways to make their workflow easier. The presentations were made by
Akshay Madan, Adobe Product Manager for RoboHelp. He and his team
have obviously been busy! Here's a recap:
1. What struck me right away was a multiple document
interface (MDI). You can work nicely among any number of topics
that are open and displayed in tabs. I'm glad to see that they are
not planning to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The popular
and friendly Word-like WYSIWYG editor is still central to the main
work area. You still feel like a writer and not a coder (no offense
to programmers).
2. At the same time, the UI is more modern and cleanly laid
out. There are also customizeable toolbars and "pods" that can be
moved around and configured the way the author works. These
configurations can be given a name so for example, an author can
have a layout for authoring sessions and one for editing sessions.
3. These movable panels or pods are handy, but I also like
that you can quickly return to "factory defaults" in case the
layout becomes too fragmented.
4. No <kadov> tags! These much-maligned tags are often
used by competitors to bad-mouth RoboHelp. Well, they'll have to
come up with something else because I saw nice clean,
color-customizable code behind the WYSIWYG editor.
5. There is also Unicode and double-byte support for
something like 34 different languages including Asian and Eastern
European characters.
6. For single sourcing, the author can create multiple TOCs
and name them so that they are easy to use when generating output
for different audiences (or for print vs. online).
7. Help for translators: Because of MDI, a translator can
have an English topic open in a pane side-by-side with a Japanese
topic for easier comparison and editing. Languages can also be
mixed. So, I can have Japanese, Greek or any number of words or
phrases mixed within a topic. The same is true for the TOC, Index
of keywords or Glossary of terms and definitions.
8. Snippets of HTML code make it easy to have chunks of text
and graphics saved for re-use. For example a logo graphic and
copyright statement can be saved and placed in multiple topics. If
you change the logo or text in the snippet, the changes are
populated wherever the snippet has been placed (kind of like
RoboHelp 6's User Defined Variables on steroids).
9. Breadcrumbs offer a nice touch for the user experience
with links that show the user where they are in the heirarchy of
topics.
10. Searching in WebHelp/Flashhelp: When searching, the "hit"
terms are highlighted in a color of the author's choosing. This can
easily be turned off by the user as well.
11. Much improved Framemaker MIF support. Matthew Stern was
at STC and was impressed. "You can import a MIF file directly into
RoboHelp and everything is retained: variables, graphics (including
Flash and Acrobat 3D files), and conditional text."
12. There is support for MS Vista and Office 2007 including
the new XML-based .docx format, (though this was not yet enabled in
the pre-alpha build I saw.)
13. Better Screen capture manipulation within topics.
14. Adobe representatives also said there would be news
posted on the
Adobe TechComm Blog
with invitations to sign up for the beta program when it gets
underway.
After using RoboHelp since 1992, I get caught up in the
feature race like everyone else. But, as Vivek Jain, Group Product
Manager for RoboHelp said, features are not the only thing that
define innovation. Rather he says, "Quality is innovation."
This should put a rest to the "RoboHelp is dead" garbage.
As a user and instructor since 1992 it was very satisfying
and exciting to see these sneak peeks and that Adobe is not only
bringing RoboHelp back to life, but making it a central piece of
the suite of applications that make up the Technical Communications
(RoboHelp, Framemaker, Captivate and Acrobat).
Sneaks peeks were also shown for Adobe Framemaker 8 and Adobe
Captivate 3 as well. The sneak peeks were introduced with the usual
caveats, such as,“The features presented during the
Technology Sneak peek contain proof of concept features and
features in the development pipeline. They are not final for the
next release however we want to take this opportunity to show the
general direction of where we are taking the products.” They
also mentioned that while they cannot comment about release dates,
they "expect to see new releases this year." However, from what I
saw, this pre-alpha build looked stable and rich with the
functionality I've outlined.
It's an exciting time for technical communicators!

Hi all,
That certainly looks like a promising list of possible
enhancements. :-)
I've been putting off switching to Flare for a few reasons
(for me, the user friendliness of the editor doesn't appeal) and
have been hoping that Adobe would pick up on RoboHelp and develop
it further.
RoboHelp's ease of use just seems to allow me to concentrate
more on creating content and that has always been its major
advantage.
Maybe I'm just getting lazy, and I know all software has its
foibles, but spending time fighting with an editor to get the
output to look and behave how I want is not where I want to be.
Even the great RoboHelp kadov debate doesn't bother me so long as
the output works, but, if they can get rid of proprietary tags so
the code is more compliant - brilliant.
The X6 release came across as a first step but not
necessarily a needed upgrade - the stuff they're talking about for
the next release looks much more promising, and definitely feels
like a reason to hang on with RoboHelp a while longer.
By the way, does anyone know if the X6 version still strips
out meta tags from source when you produce output files? The
feature list of X6 didn't prompt me to upgrade immediately, but X5
gives me a world of hurts with metatags, and that could actually be
something that could get me to shell out some dosh for the X6
version rather than wait for what looks like a major new release.
Sorry for being lazy and not installing the trial to see, but
I'm a bit tight on project time so if anyone knows I'd really
appreciate it. Thanks.
PS - something that made me laugh out loud this morning:
"One of the most interesting requests from customers at the
STC Conference Minneapolis was for a migration path from Flare to
RoboHelp. Clearly, some of the customers, who had migrated from
RoboHelp to Flare, want to come back to RoboHelp."
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/robohelp
The MadCap people seem very helpful, but some of their
marketing comes across as too pushy, so that blog really made me
smile. Maybe Adobe are almost 'too'big', but with the new release
talk, it looks like things might be about to get interesting again.
Cheers

Photoshop content-aware move & extend tool - sneak peek

Have you seen the new Photoshop sneak peek video out this afternoon? What do you think?
It's arguably the most impressive one yet... though there have been four sneaks now and we've still got a ways to go till CS6.
Some purists don't go for CS5's content-aware fill but we find it saves a lot of time for certain edits - and the additional features demoed today should save even more.

I can see how that can save some time.
I can envision a spin-off feature that uses a lot of the same facilities this and Content Aware Fill do: DOF Reduction.
Select/mask a subject, then blur the background believably, all in one shot.
It's quite doable now with a careful selection, edge refinement, new layer with mask, and content aware fill on the background so the subject doesn't participate in the blur. Since people SO often want to "punch out" subjects and isolate them from the background, and especially since less expensive equipment usually has greater DOF, automating this would be a help.

Lenovo X300 WWAN card

I know that the Lenovo x300 supports the Verizon and IBM WWAN cards, but I need to know is it possible to get a Sprint card that will work in the Lenovo x300.

Hello,
I have done some deep research on this matter for myself, I have an x61 and would like to swap the factory installed wwan card with a gsm card by Sierra but not with Lenovo FRU.
The Thinkpad bios will not accept parts other than the ones approved by lenovo and on which there is lenovo FRU#, even if from the same manufacturer, the "Whitelist" is here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62906
if you would install a generic part non lenovo approved, the bios will not boot the system, give you an error message and tell you to remove the card.
There is a solution for this issue, it can be found here: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=55837&start=300
but it involves flashing your machine with a modified bios which could be risky.
I am going to try it because my preinstalled wwan card is for services by Vrison in the USA, I need a GSM card for Europe and other locations with GSM providers only, I will remove the original which is useless for me and replace it with a non Lenovo Sierra MC8775 WWAN HSDPA 3G card and flash the bios.
Hope this helps

Lenovo U400 Battery Replacement Warning

Hello again,
I'm using a brand new Lenovo U400 which I got almost like a week ago. After several days of using it, upon starting, Lenovo Energy Management started saying "The full capacity of the battery you are using is only about the 40% that of a new one. We recommend you to replace the old battery with a new one..."
What does it mean? I have only used this laptop for like 5 hours less...

Hi Yigit,
Sorry to bother you, but I just requested an RMA from the reseller. Would you suggest any tips on how to clean install Lenovo U400? The problem is. I did some upgrade from my laptop just the harddrive though. Upon clean installing win 7 pro and the drivers on the new hard drive that Lenovo battery replacement sign pops out everytime I start the pc on battery mode. When I put back the old drive, the drive with preinstalled win 7 Home and drivers the battery replacement warning didnt pop at all even running on battery. Anyways, I wasted too much time on this so I just requested an RMA since it's still on its return period. But yeah do you think there is something wrong with program Lenovo Energy management that is? or is there like a special way on how the drivers should be installed first and what not upon using a new hard drive? Thanks again!

New Lenovo E540 stuck on Boot Menu?

My new Lenovo arrived today and I can't even start it.
I press the power button and it goes straight to Boot Menu and App Menu.
I don't want to mess around with the settings because I don't know much about computers.
How do I get to Windows?
Please help!!

Hi Ktkt2289,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with not Booting to Windows on your ThinkPad E540.
Please check if the system is shipped with pre-loaded Windows OS.
Keep tapping F2 key after switching ON the system this will take you to BIOS option and there go to Boot option and check if you are able to see HDD there.
Check and confirm if there is any Windows COA sticker at the bottom of the laptop.
Please provide the system MTM (Machine Type Model) number which will be at the back of the system written on the white sticker.
Hope to hear back soon!
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar
