T400 thinkvantage system health and diagnostics reading memory speed as 667 not 1066

Hi, just got a T400 2765-T6U (fresh install win 7 IBM genuine install) on ebay and it is listed as having 3gb of DDR3 PC-3 8500 1066 ram. but when I run the thinkvantage system health and diagnostics program the scan says: memory DDR2 667 Mhz.
I am certain that the installed ram is DDR-3 8500 because I looked at it.
My concern is that for some reason even though the computer has the faster memory it is not running at the 1066 clock speed.
PS >I cant install any other software because I am returning it to the seller as it has a bad spot on the screen. He is offering a replacement but it will be an exact replacement so I really need to know why this reading is incorrect. I may ask for cash back.because of this reading. I dont understand why the thinkvantage system health and diagnostics is saying DDR2 667 Mhz and not DDR3 1066 Mhz (which IS installed)..
Is the Thinkvantage program giving me a false reading?
Is there anywhere else in the compuer OS that I can see the memory details and clock speed?
The Bios only shows the amout of Ram.
Thanks!

use HWinfo32 to check the ram speed.

Upgraded to windows 7 now my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working!

I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Ultimate and my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working. I've tried reading advice off of some forums here and even checked out what I can download from this site and also tried updating but each time it either says could not find updates, or when I try dowloading from this site it says the program may have not installed correctly. I'm stuck I don't know what else I can do, can someone help, I would appreaciate it greatly!

Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.
Enjoying windows 7 in complete silence. If anyone wants to advise downloading a driver then fantastic, but give us a clue where it is hidden.

Toshiba SSD vs Samsung SSD and inconsistent read/write speeds

I've heard that some of the 2011 Airs are shipping with Toshiba SSDs where others have the Samsung SSDs. Apparently the Toshiba ones are considerably slower and are more likely to be in the 13" models where the Samsung SSDs are more likely to be in the 11" models. I was curious if anyone out there has an 11" model with the 256GB option, and if so, which SSD did you get in yours? See here: http://9to5mac.com/2011/07/25/2011-macbook-air-ssd-speeds-are-not-consistent/#mo re-85182
Thanks

I'm really disappointed, considering I spent $1200 on a portable laptop, I expect it to be pretty much perfect, and it's a let down knowing I didn't get what a lot of other people paying the same price might be getting. Anything on this Apple?
Are you looking to get a response from Apple here? If so you're going to be left wanting. This is a user-to-user discussion forum, if you wish to communicate with Apple you'll need to get on the phone with AppleCare or bring it into the store.
You can also return the machine and buy a new one, it's a 50/50 chance.
I have the Toshiba drive in my 13" MBA with the 128GB SSD. A co-worker has the same model machine with a Samsung drive.
As Apple doesn't promise a minimum SSD read/write speed I don't really see any justification for them to offer an exchange on a unit unless it's defective (which this would not be considered defective in their eyes). Thus my recommendation for the return. The other problem is there's no discernible markings on the outside of the box that indicate which drive is in the machine, plus Apple doesn't let you "try before you buy."
Even given the slower Toshiba speeds, I'd be really curious to see someone max out the capabilities of either drive.

B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

Hello,
I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem. The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader. This is annoying for things that should be plug and play. However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Check support-drivers and downloads for bios update.

"Windows 8 using 100% of HDD with high average response times and low read/write speed"

Turns out this is a fairly well known windows 8.1 issue that has been plaguing users since at least 2013 and there is no one simple fix, so it may not be *entirely* hp's fault; but I've had two of these laptops, both the same model, the first one needing to be returned and exchanged for an entirely unrelated issue (hardware failure: ethernet port nonfunctional with lights stuck on). Both are refurbished. Both have been extreemly slow and unresponsive even compared to a lesser Brazos powered laptop I had before, but I've only recently decided to investigate why.
So if there is something HP specific going on here, I hope there is one simple fix. My average response time has gone up as far as well over a minute (>60,000ms), so I may be an outlier case here compared to the typical windows 8.1 hardrive responsiveness/bandwidth problem.
Edit: there is a case with another HP pavilion laptop (intel powered though, so it may be an intel storage driver issue described in the first link) being much, much worse.
This question was solved.

Guess what just now happened again
So using DISM did _not_ fix it.

FF 3.6.3 will not install zynga poker game bar on FB and I read on FB they do not support FF with plugin (do I have plugin)

Does firefox 3.6.3 have a plug-in? I read in Facebook that they do not support FF plugins. Firefox is my default browser. I also have IE7 to use when I need to. I tried to install Zynga game bar in IE 7 and it worked. There must be some little thing I am missing with getting Firefox to install game bar. I had no struggle to install in IE 7 - it went smoothly. I want to have this on FF browser as it is my favourite.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://facebook.com

same problem here

I can't find Samsung Admire SCH-R720 on either the supported or unsupported lists for Firefox for Android. The phone seems to meet the minimum specs, TI OMAP 3610 processor (ARM-A8) and 512K of memory. Marketplace says not compatible. If not, why?

Sorry, included details in question.

Is the TIOMAP 3610 not a 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 ? which is ARMv7. http://phonecpu.com/omap-3610
It does however only has 125MB or 196MB RAM or such depending on sources when 512+MB is recommended.
The Motorola Defy in compatible list has the TI OMAP3610-800 or TI OMAP36300-800 but it has 512MB Ram.

I do not hear any sound and when I open the system preferences and go to sound option it does not show internal speakers

How do I get the internal speaker option in the sound preferences?

Have you ever had anything plugged into the Headphone port?
Long shot, but…
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

ThinkVantage System Update - "There are no applicable packages found for your system"

QuestionWhen running TVSU, I am getting a system notification of "There are no applicable packages found for your system"
AnswerThis issue has occured at various times, and may more commonly occur when TVSU updates itself. At the time this article was originally written, the symptom was noted by some customers after updating from version 4.01.0010.
After updating System Update, if no packages are found for your system, please try the following to uninstall and manually reinstall the current version of system update.
Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Programs and Features
Select System Update
Click Uninstall
Reboot
Download latest version of ThinkVantage System Update
Install it and reboot
Run ThinkVantage System Update and the list of updated drives will now populate correctly.

There are a few comments here that have come in over 3 years...
1) Please update to the latest version of TVSU appropriate for your version of operating system. TVSU should update itself, but please check the reported version when TVSU starts up against the most recent version available to download on support.lenovo.com. Uninstall, download the newer version, and re-install if it does not auto update and you have confirmed a newer version.
2) From time to time, there are issues with the TVSU catalog and updates may not be reported as available for a specific system. Lenovo software teams do their best to ensure the update catalog is current for all supported models, but in the event that you find no updates for your system and believe this is in error, please manually check several of the principle driver versions in device manager and compare with the versions available for manual download on the support site for your model. If later versions of drivers and BIOS are available on the support site, but not made available through TVSU, then use this feedback link to notify the e-support team so they may investigate.
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/websitefeedback
3) If you have recently changed the system board in your system, or service has changed the board, and TVSU can no longer find updates, or reports an error detecting your system, please reboot and press F1 to enter BIOS. (Note, you may need to shut and restart to enter BIOS). In BIOS, check that the system model type and serial number are correctly displayed. These should match the type and serial numbers on the sticker on the bottom of your system. TVSU identifies correct updates by checking these values in BIOS. When a system board is replaced, there is a service proceedure to update the type and serial number values in BIOS to match that of the new system. If these are shown as blank, this was not performed, and is the reason TVSU is not detecting updates. Please contact Lenovo service if this is the case.

Satellite M60-104 - memory card reader does not read memory stick pro duo

Hi guys,
the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
I know it should read memory stick pro but not sure about pro duo.
Can you help me please?

Hi
>the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
Of course this could be normal behavior because not all cards are compatible and supported.
I would recommend taking look into the user manual because there you can find a information which cards can be used in the notebooks card reader!!!

Are my read/write speeds up to snuff? MacPro Octo 2.26

What are typical and good read/write speeds I can expect on my MacPro Octo 2.26 10GB Ram.
According to iStat, on a simple copy, I get about 65-70 MB/s read from a WD 640 caviar black internal bay, and 65-70 MB/s write to a WD 640 caviar black internal bay. Are there any apple docs that explain what we can expect, how to enhance? You can skip RAID talk, this is just basic stock computer and best operating procedures I'm speaking of. Thanks!
The OS is on a WD 74 Raptor drive.

Drives keep evolving.
It depends on what you copy, and what matters, or, where if any place is there a bottleneck?
Newer 10K VR drives maybe, boot drive is important.
SSDs definitely boost system.
Isolating I/O between drives (system, scratch, media, etc) really helps so all the work and I/O is spread out.
Newer 1TB and above drives with 500GB platters and higher density, too.
Best differs from video editing, to mild editing of files, to very heavy work in CS4.
Also, keeping your drives to 50% free space, or what I do for some drives is short-stroke so I really only use one outer partition to work with and use the rest for junk and inactive archive/backup and storage.
iStat - never used it and definitely not for benchmarking drives.

I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is

I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top

Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
See the screenshot from my Mac here:
Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

Thunderbolt drive Read/Write speeds have significantly dropped

I got a new Western Digital Thunderbolt VelociRaptor drive. When I did speed tests on it using "BlackmagicDesign" Speed Test software initially (when empty) the drive was giving me read and write speeds of 350 MB/s. Now however I have 90% of the drive occupied with data and the read/write speeds have dropped significantly to 230 MB/s. Any ideas as to why and how I could improve this?
Thanks

Anybody know how fast the read/write speeds are with a USB hard drive and the Airport Extreme Base Station?
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Apple's AirPort base stations aren't known for fast file serving, but for most purposed they're fast enough.
I can't comment specifically on your Aperture plan, but with some software it's important to avoid simultaneous access by more than one user.

ThinkVantage System Update 4, Windows 7 x64, and LAN repository are failing with T410 laptops

I've been using TVSU/TVUR for a few years and they're excellent tools. Life would be much harder without them.
Recently I acquired some ThinkPad T410's with Windows 7. As usual, I applied an existing Windows 7 image (from a T400), and ran TVSU. Group Policy settings populate the TVSU reg keys with the UNC path to the update repository on my LAN. So far so good.
Now things get weird. TVSU asks for a username and password when first connecting to the repository at \\servername\sharename\path. That shouldn't be necessary - I can browse that path as the logged-in domain user.
No matter what I put in the username/password prompt, whether I hit OK or cancel, TVSU proceeds to scan the directories in \\srvername\sharename\path for relevant updates.
Once it finds 15 updates, I select them. Clicking on the "details" option for any updates brings up an empty window, no text. If I try to download updates, it starts chugging along and quickly finishes, reporting "15 packages did not download".
I don't have this problem with other Win 7 x64 T400's, or other laptops running other OS's. I don't think the repository is corrupt, since other systems can download and install updates.
Where do I go from here?
dcsln

Here's the interesting part, near the end, of the tvsu log on another T410 with the same symptoms after tagging two updates for download, and failing to download both:
