T400 beeps ANNOYINGLY every time you open the laptop lid

Has anyone else experienced a beep when you flip open your laptop? I notice that if you mute, then it doesn't happen. If you use audio or have any volume on, it makes a loud annoying beep. Has anybody been able to turn it off?
Here is how I tried solving the problem so far.
1. I right-click desktop --> personalize --> sounds becomes "no sounds"
2. I went to "Device Manager" --> sound, video, and game controller --> high definition audio device
- i disabled and later re-enabled this. disabling it will basically disable all sound, which nobody wants.
3. Reading around some more, I did view-->show hidden devices, then went nonplug and play drivers --> beep, and disabled beep. this doesn't solve the problem.
My computer is also very new -- I got it about 1.5 months ago. Reading around, how do you access "BIOS?" I went into Windows 7 search, and nothing popped up. Maybe it might be part of the solution?
Thanks!

If you go into the control pannel, there should be an option for "Lenovo's Power Controls", you can acess the powermanager in there.
if not you could download thinkvantage update from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/TVSU-UPDATE.html and it should give you the option to download and install it. NOTE: you might already have this installed.

Itunes 11 welcome screen every time I open the program.

very annoying
help?

This is what worked for me!!!!!
Close iTunes.
With Windows Explorer go to View in the top menu and allow Hidden Files.
Navigate to:
C:\Users\[which ever user is you]\Appdata\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete all files in this directory.
Start iTunes and see the Welcome Screen for hopefully the last time!
I am not an expert. This was a stab in the dark based on the Mac ByHosts solution and it just happened to work for me. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
Good Luck!

Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels every time you start the app.

I want to confirm that this is not an isolated issue and to make a bit more noise because Apple didn't fix this in the 10.5.3 update. The problem is that the Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start the app. This only happens if the Address Book window is sized vertically larger than minimum. Now, each time you quit and start Address book it will reposition it's window 3 pixels down. After some time and many Quit/Starts your window will end up at the bottom of your screen and even size itself down to vertical minimum. If you have it positioned so that the bottom of the window protrudes off the screen then it will continue until it reaches the top bar of the window. It's not a serious bug I know. But, for the way I use Address Book it's annoying to have to reposition it's window to align with my other apps which I have open aligned/arranged at startup. It's just that all the other Leopard apps don't do this. Maybe it's a feature added to avoid patent infringement. Who knows! Apple I know you have bigger fish to fry but would you please clean this up.
To test first start Address Book and size your Address Book window vertically larger than its smallest size. Now repeatedly quit and start the Address Book application. Watch your Address Book window migrate down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start. Have fun, watching Address Book falls from grace. Good thing it doesn't migrate off screen completely!

Hey! It works! Nice catch
Gee, now if the rest of Leopard would work properly they would even have the time to fix this

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do???

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do??? My plug are asking me to re-register them too. This is annoying. Please help!!!!!

How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library:
reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

"Motion 5" is your friend.
Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.

I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 last week and every time I open the program, I get an error message that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and it forces me to close the program. How to I resolve this?

Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

Hi there,
You could try performing a clean installation: [[Knowledge Base Article]] :
Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com, then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox application folder (program files) and reinstalling Firefox. If this does not help, or if you would rather completely remove Firefox and start over instead of completing all the troubleshooting steps, follow these steps:
1. Download the latest official version of Firefox from Mozilla.com.
* You should avoid unofficial download sites that bundle Firefox with other software such as the Google Toolbar.
2. If you wish to retain your current profile, you should make a backup copy of it. See Backing up your information for instructions.
3. Uninstall Firefox and make sure you remove the Firefox application (program) folder and your Firefox personal data (user data and settings) - see Uninstalling Firefox for instructions.
4. Reinstall Firefox - see Installing Firefox for instructions.
5. When Firefox is started for the first time, the Import Wizard will appear and a new profile will be created.
6. Verify that the issue no longer appears.
7. If you made a backup of your old profile and wish to restore your old information, see Recovering important data from an old profile. For troubleshooting purposes, only copy the files corresponding to your bookmarks and saved passwords.
8. Reinstall your extensions and themes one by one to determine if any specific one is causing the issue.

Illustrator CS5 is crashing every time I open the Font Menu

I'm using one of the new Mac Book pro Retinas. Every time I open the Type>Font menu the program crashes. Sometimes I can scroll down a little ways but sometimes it crashes immediately. Photoshop is loading the previews fine so I believe this is an illustrator problem and not a more general font problem.
Thank you for your help.

Ok, so I am now leaning towards a corrupt font also like Wade Z. suggested. A few things to try if you haven't first though.
1.) Did you repair permissions using Disk Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder? I'd do that and run it a few times until it runs "clean". Meaning that you don't see it repair anything anymore in the list. (I'm assuming you're on a Mac). If you're on a PC this won't help.
2.) You could try resetting the PRAM etc., but I don't think that will help this problem. Sometimes you never know though.
So, if it is a corrupt font, I need to know if you are using a font management program or if you manually place them in font folders? (again assuming you're using a Mac). Post Script Type 1 fonts are known to be more finicky to use in Snow Leopard and Lion. I had some problems with duplicate fonts that were causing havoc on my machine just a few weeks ago. So you may want to try and track down if you have duplicate fonts also. I just used Spotlight to find where any errant fonts were installed. If you install fonts manually I'd temporarily remove them all from the User > Library > fonts folder (or wherever else you may have installed them) and then restart. That way you can test to see if that might be the problem. Then if it is you can add half the fonts back in and do a bubble sort to find which font is corrupt. A bubble sort is a way of taking half of something and testing if it's good or bad. Then if it's a bad half, taking half again to see if it's good or bad. That way you can narrow in on a specific file causing the problem. It can be a little tedious with having to restart, but is one of the best ways of finding a corrupt font. Another method may be to remove all of one type of font and add each set in until the problem shows up again (if removing them is what fixes it).
If you use the built in FontBook you can try this: http://www.lifespy.com/2007/mac-tips-find-and-eliminate-corrupt-fonts-in-osx/
Hopefully you'll get it worked out.

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great.

This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

Modify the New Document Profile you use the most to reflect what you want it to contain or just make a new document with all the stuff and save it with a distinct name to the New Document Profiles folder in your user profile.
