Sorry, gotta vent for a minute...
I got my Verizon Blackberry 9330 in November (I think) and, of course, they have the 30 days try it out and exchange if it's not for you policy. Well, 33 days AFTER I got the Blackberry Verizon announces the iPhone... I've been waiting years for the iPhone and now I have to wait ANOTHER year plus until I can upgrade. AND, every time that I update a software on the BB it gets all jammed up and needs to have the OS reinstalled. I'm beginning to believe the BB just isn't for me. Seriously, this phone is NOT all it's cracked up to be....
Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
At night are you completely shutting Windows down or just putting in a Sleep or Hibernate? If the laptop isn't completely shut down then I suspect the problem is related to the operating system or its software.
I'm assuming that you have Windows 8 installed as your operating system. Check to see that there isn't an Alarm App installed. Also check Task Scheduler to see there isn't a task that activates at midnight.
Is the laptop plugged in when this happens? If so, try unplugging it for the night. Besides leaving it plugged in over night isn't a good idea.
Doing a One Key Recovery would be a quick way to rule out the operating system as the cause. The downside is you will have to backup any files you have stored on the hard drive and reinstall any software you put on the computer after it was new as the recovery process will erase your current operating system. Page #23 of your model's User Guide will explain how to use the One Key Recovery program. Here is a link to that guide.....

Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".
Hello,
sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.

3 weeks and still no help. sorry to vent but very dissappointed with ITUNE
I have tried everything. from reinstalling and about 8 emails to service and it seems everytime I get somebody else answering me back with the wrong info as if I had told them a different story of my issue. I know some of you have tried to help me too. I thank you for that. Today I asked them to delete my account completely so I can just try to set up a new one.
My problem was, Everytime I try to change my address it WILL NOT SAVE. I have tried everything that Everyone has told me from links to rebooting and trying to everything itunes staff has tried. I even BEGGED them to call me on the phone. It has been over 3 weeks now and I cannot buy music as it will not let me save my info change. The odd thing is , I never changed it to begin with. For some reason it went back to my old address. I am so irritated as I just want to buy some tunes. Sorry to vent, just extremely dissappointed with the service. 1billion songs sold and no fricking phone number to call. Just emails that take DAYS to hear back.. Sony connect, Napster? anyone wanna buy 3 ipods?
And yes I checked with all of my credit cards. they are fine.John,
I read your submission with some interest. I don't know for sure but I believe your problem is somewhere within your own pc. I had similar problems some months back with unsolicited changes which drove me crazy. I finally re-formated and reinstalled everything...no more problems.
Your comments reference Apple support really interested me. I thought it was just me and my lack of patience. It's obviously not.
Companies such as Apple are divisionalised in every aspect of their operations. R & D, Design, Production, Marketing are all cutting edge performance operations. Support, which I'm sure will be fractionalised down even further as it spreads across the globe is another issue completely.
It's simply appalling. The lack of customer service, technical know-how and frankly, interest, in customer problems is beyond belief.
I recently purchased a new PowerBook 15G4 directly from Apple Store on-line in the UK. I won't go into detail but it was sheer mayhem from beginning to end. The pre-sales (marketing) was fine but from there onwards I received service I wouldn't have believed possible from a viable and progressive organisation. It was call-centre service from Ireland that ensued at this juncture and if I was to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 it would have scored 0. It cost me additional money at the end of the day, lots of it!
My latest Apple disappointment is the recent purchase of a new iPod Video 30Gb here in Spain where I live. Nice product that attracted me (already have a mini iPod 4Gb) because of it's ability to play music video's which I love. Problem now is I find my Spanish Itunes Store doesn't sell video's! That's where my account is because of the criteria of creating an account subject to home address & credit card address so I can't switch to another store, such as the UK one, to purchase anything. So, I have a brand new video iPod I can't use for anything more than the audio I already had on my iPod Mini! Apple are happy to market and sell the basic product in certain countries but fail to mention the inability to provide you with the video content you require to utilise it fully.
I'm not the constantly whinging variety, I don't have the time or the inclination, but I can only say to Apple....this just isn't good enough and eventually you'll realise it yourself. Problems are never overly apparent when business is booming but the time will come when service like this becomes a major player in the success or otherwise of the operation. I'm a very disallusioned Apple customer!

Used phone outside for five minutes in thirty degree fog! screen seems slightly washed out!
I know this phone is rated as ip 65 and 68 but I used this outside talking for five minutes in the cold fog. Note the screen seems slightly washed out and blurry, like light/dark gray text on white background like this site is especially harder to read now!
Is my phone permanently messed up? Should I let it dry overnight? Or am I just being a hypochondriac when it comes to this? Thank you all very much!Hi Tmansdc,

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
- I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
- My outlook express has no problems
- other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
- my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
- every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

IMac G5 tries to start and dies after spinning cog for a minute
iMac G5 tries to start and dies after spinning cog for a minute
I did this;
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
the result was.
the 'permissions' are sometimes wrong, but they repair
the hard drive is either repaired or OK
the iMac will then restart and work fine and sometimes shut down and restart OK
after replacing the Hard Drive I actually thought I had fixed it and went to bed late but happy,
on waking in the morning, however I was not so happy it fired up and then died after dong -> apple logo -> spinning cog -> dead!!
I would be grateful for any help
Thanks
PeteHi Miriam,
Thanks yes,
here we go -- after running disc utilities it tells me directory OK and disk OK (or something like that) When I replaced the Hard Drive, I started 'fresh' erased/formatted the hard drive (new Seagate Barracuda 7200 500GB) and it has just got 'tiger' on it (and upgraded to whatever it is now I think I remember 4.11, I can't tell at the moment as I have got the back off) I didn't transfer any data I just took the old drive (Seagate 160GB) out and stuck the new one in.
I've just changed the battery (I didn't really think it would work, but I was still hopeful and I'd bought the battery anyway) I did the LED thing, the internal power button thing, and the resetting the SMU thing (with crossed fingers and bated breath) but -- so I'm thinking is it the power supply? I read some of Jim's weighty, but worthy tome and resolved to remove the power supply and have a look. On opening it up, it does look as though, one (at least) of the capacitors has 'blown' (by the way, just in case I sound like I know what I'm talking about, I don't of course, I'm just quoting Jim's words;-) I'd love to send you a picture of the inside of the power supply showing what I believe to be a 'blown' capacitator (and I'm going to try to send one to Jim as I think it might be useful to him and others. can I attach a photo in any way or would you like to send me your email address <Edited by Moderator>
Thanks
Pete
PS it's still 'weird' to me, why it starts and runs well, when started from tiger (or whatever) and then starts or restarts from the Hard Drive unless I leave it a few hours and come back and try to start it

I have been having lots of problems with my iPad 2 freezing since I downloaded the IOS7. It freezes for several minutes each time this happens. Is there something you can suggest that I do to eliminate this problem in the future?
First thing to try is a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Bought Premier Elements 13 yesterday. EVERY time I try to open a set of clips with Editor, I am told I have to sign into my Adobe first. I do this and wait for several minutes for the password dialogue box to open, enter my password. then wait and wait until my pw is recognized. Accept agreement. Agreement screen disappears and I'm back where I started. Try to open video clips with editor again and get the same demand to log in. Please advise asap. thx

Please do not duplicate a thread. The threads are answered as soon as possible. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
I have answered your most recent of the duplicates
Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
am not sure can be used.
Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the
above mentioned thread, try to sort out your situation with Adobe via its Adobe Chat.

Spinning wheel stays on for several minutes at a time, can't connect to app store
Hi I have an imac, about two years old. It has recently started freezing constantly, can't connect to the app store and the rainbow spinning wheel stays up for several minutes at a time regardless of what apps are open or what I'm trying to do. Safari will work for a minute or two then will say it can't connect, I then have to quit the app then open it back up to have it fail again shortly after. I've cleared out my cache, started it in safe mode, done the disk repair through disk utility, done virus scans and nothing has helped. It started doing it suddenly - fine one day then not the next - but I haven't put any new apps on or made any changes I can think of that might be the cause. Can anyone help?
One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect. -
Wireless outage (IP only) for 5 minutes, every 15 minutes
Hey everyone,
I recently moved to the UK from the US, and in the process gave up my Airport Base Station for the much less friendly BT Home Hub. Since doing so, I have been having some very annoying problems with the wireless connection that I did not have before.
Essentially, what happens is that I lose IP connectivity (cannot ping the gateway, or get to the internet), but the Airport menu icon/Network Connect reports I am still connected to the wireless network, and there is no change in reported signal strength. I took a look at it with iStumbler, and there is pretty much no difference in signal/noise or any other readouts when the dropout occurs - the "wireless network" appears to be up, I just don't have IP connectivity.
Turning the Airport card on and off restores connection, but doing this every 15 minutes is very annoying, of course. If I wait 5 minutes with no IP connectivity, it comes back, once again with no corresponding change in signal strength.
This may be a result of the change in wireless access points, but there are some things about my particular situation that makes me wonder if it might be something related to my PowerBook/Airport card. Firstly, while I was moving, I was housesitting for friends, using a wired ethernet connection, when I installed the Airport security update and iTunes 7, so my configuration has changed since the last time I knew it to work well (I have since upgraded to OS X 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1 over my intermittent wireless connection, but I have had this problem since before doing so).
Secondly, and more importantly, I have noticed an incredibly regular pattern to the outages. Specifically, the times I mentioned above are pretty much exact and consistent. Since I started having the problem, I opened a terminal window and ran a continuous ping of the gateway, and my results are as follows:
Every 895-900 pings (i.e. seconds), there is an outage, which lasts for 296-297 pings/seconds. So, for example, there is an outage at icmp_seq=1025 (895 sec after the last outage), and the ping command then recieves its next response at icmp_seq=1321 (296 sec). There is then subsequently an outage at 2221 (900 sec after the last outage) which resumes at 2517 (296 sec), etc., etc.
What makes this especially interesting is that, as I mentioned above, if I turn the Airport card on and off I get connectivity back. The connection then lasts for 900 seconds from when I turned the card back on, not from the last outage. So the outage seems come specifically after 15 minutes of having the Airport card on and connected, rather than the WAP giving up the ghost every 15 minutes regardless of what's connected to it.
The WAP is running in 802.11g mode with WPA security using WPK encryption. The SSID is not being broadcast. This is a modification of the original BT Home Hub settings (64-bit WEP encryption? No thanks) but pretty similar to what I had on my Airport Base Station. The WAP's event log shows nothing out of the ordinary, and looking at the device during the outage doesn't really show any problems. If I plug into the wired port while I'm having one of these 5 minute outages, it works.
I have also tried changing the wireless channel it runs on, but this has no affect.
I don't have any other computers/devices in the flat so I can't test whether this outage is universal or specific to my computer, but I was wondering if anybody else has experienced a similar problem? Is there any way I could narrow it down more between the WAP and the PowerBook? The regularity of the outage, and the fact that IP gives out, but I don't get disconnected from the wireless network seems to two very tantalizing clues.
Thanks,
Andrew
PowerBook G4 15-inch (FW800) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAM, 1.67 GHz G4I am still having this problem and am starting to get really annoyed by it. Since my last posting, the following things have happened:
1) Last Thursday, I turned my Powerbook on and experienced a full day of work at home with a consistent wireless connection. Nothing had changed in configuration on either the router or the Powerbook. Then, at night, I turned my computer off, turned it on Friday morning, and again experienced dropouts every 15 minutes, for 5 minutes exactly.
2) By this time I had already called BT and complained, and they were kind enough to send me a new hub. I got it today, took the old one down and set it up (via ethernet cable) with the exact same settings as the old one, and then connected to it via wireless - I was able to connect successfully with no interruptions. Then, I shut my computer down to go out for a few hours. I am now back, and since booting my computer, I now once again only stay connected for 15 minutes at a time!
So, it now seems to be only 95% consistent, instead of 100% consistent, but I am really beginning to suspect my Powerbook, since it seems to be behaving differently on different boots! Please help? What can I do to isolate this problem? As I have demonstrated in my previous posts, I have already looked at iStumbler, etc. and am still having the same exact problems, even with new hardware! -
A weird 'person sitting at a laptop ' icon pops up suspending the use of my Mac. I see a countdown for 3 minutes and a line of letters to type in to allow me to continue working. I have 2 minutes to work. Help. What is this!
Hate to say it. I isolated this to only be happening with email/Mail program. Then ran Sophos Virus detector on it and it did show a trojan virus in my email spam folder. I eliminated it ; ran disk utility a couple of times and I am good now. Spent the whole day on it though before I thought of using a virus scan... as soon as I started running sophos it stopped sending me the two minute timer as well--so just opening the virus software was able to disengage whatever was happening. My computer is all mac --no PC interface added at all. Hope that was that. Thank you for responding.
