T410s one-day review

Delivered by UPS Monday morning. i5-520M, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, bay battery, win7 x64 Ultimate, Intel 6300 wireless
Performance: Outstanding, the combination of the i5 and the SSD makes for an incredibly snappy system compared to ye olde X61s
Keyboard: The verdict is still out. The feel is definitely different, very little flex, the large escape key is perfect for us vi users. Key travel seems longer than on the X61s, and the sound is different.
Touchpad: It works. They didn't screw up the trackpoint, and that's what really counts.
Display: Far brighter than the X61s, but terrible blacks. Overall an improvement, but I would believe the downright embarrassing 95:1 contrast ratio posted elsewhere. Very crisp at least, but you would think it wouldn't be rocket science to source a better screen. Viewing angles are "okay" (about standard for a TN screen).
Battery and battery life: With the bay battery, haven't done a rundown yet, but estimates are all over the 5-8 hour range, and that's probably realistic depending on workload.
Wireless: works extremely well so far, only tested so far in "strong signal, good AP" environments. Easily syncs at 300mbps given an access point that supports it.
Port layout: Too much on the back instead of the sides, much less convenient.
How would I change it?
- Dump the Ultrabay, use the space saved for a much larger internal battery. Offer a USB optical drive.
- Move ports, particularly video and power, back to the sides of the machine. The back is inconvenient.
Other than that, it's a very very nice machine, and so far I can really say it was worth the wait and hassle. If anybody has specific questions, I'd be happy to try to answer.

Thank you sharpen for your review.
I am planning to exchange my T500 (too bulky) for a T410s.
In particular, I am planning to buy this (T410s NUK3AGE):
http://www.pro-com.org/pcb2lf.de/Pages/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=17411&BackUrl=787452466
I would have two main questions:
* if Linux runs smoothly (provided you are running Linux)
* if the T410s has the same high-pitch noise issues reported for the T400s
(see e.g. here
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Noise-from-T400s/m-p/171602
Other comments on the general level of noise for the T410s are also welcome.
Thank you,

Check if a license exists for at least one day in each month

How to check if a license exists for at least one day in each month for a given period ? Example : If we have a review period from Jan 25 2009 to Aug 15 2009. How to check if there is license for at lease one day in every month.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
(1) construct a table or result set that has one row per month in the review period. [This thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3651350?] has a similar problem.
(2) outer-join your actual data to that result set
(3) use the aggreagate COUNT (x) function (where x is some column from your table) to see if there were any matches in each month. GROUP BY months.
For a more specific answser, ask a more specific question.
Post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
It never hurts to say what version of Oracle you're using.

Maybe something like:
WITH all_months AS
     SELECT     ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC ( &period_begin_date
                            , 'MM'

                  )         AS month_date
     FROM    dual
     CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 1 + CEIL ( MONTHS_BETWEEN ( &period_end_date
                                                      , &period_begin_date
SELECT       m.month_date
,       CASE COUNT (l.license_date)
            WHEN 0 THEN 'Nothing this month'
                      ELSE 'Some licenses issued'
       END     AS summary_txt

My laptop becomes slow after incurring privacy issues (118000 in one day) that are noted as being mozilla profiles

I clear my laptop with A S C programme but latest review identified 118000 privacy issues in less than one day. This is a regular problem. Needless to say this overall issue slows my computer down until I clean it up again. The programme I use identifies the privacy issues are down to Mozilla profiles.

Separate Issue;
Your System Details shows;

Hi, I was trying to copy and paste a lot of info for one day on my calendar to another day and an error message popped up saying that the system responded with an error. Msg won't go away I force quit ical

Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical. I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error. All of my info was below the message. I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all. I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up. Any suggestions?

K,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

In ical, only since the update, when I look at the day view, I can no longer scroll down indefinitely; it stops at one day only

Since the update, when I use ical , and am on the day view, I no longer can scroll down through multiple days; it stops at one day only. Seems like a poor design change. Any idea how to reverse this?

cfromflorida,
Try swiping left/right works for me.

Some of the entries in my address book show birthdays one day/year earlier in Ical. I cannot change this except by putting in the birthdays a day/year earlier than they are. Why is this happening only for some entiries and not others?

Some of the birthdays I have entered in Address book appear in my Ical one day and one year earlier than the date I have given. Eg. I have entered a birthday in Address book as 23 March 2011 and it appears in Ical as being on 22 March 2010. Other names have no problems. There are only some that do not appear with the correct date and year. Why is this? Has anyone found how to correct this strange problem? I have Time Zones ticked.
Bronze2011

I'm having this exact same problem, but it's doing it with a bunch of birthdays. I also did 0001 when I didn't know the birth year, so I went back and did a more current year, but they still aren't showing up where they should be...or at all. It's completely bizarre.

On my iPad 3, how do I make calendar items lasting more than one day appear as such on the monthly view of my calendar? Right now only the first day of the item appears.

On iPad 3, all of my calendar items lasting more than one day do not appear correctly when looking at the monthly view of the calendar; only the first day of the appointment appears. For example, if I am taking a vacation for 4 days, only the first day of the vacation is marked on the calendar, instead of being listed on all 4 days. When I look at the weekly view, however, it is correct and is listed on all 4 days. The problem here of course is that at a glance, there is no way to look at my monthly schedule. On my iPhone, everything is correct, regardless of month or week view, so clearly this is an iPad problem I guess? Please advise on how this can be corrected. Thank you!

Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

After updating to the latest version, I'm able to open and use the browser for one day. The next day, the browser doesn't not open up. please help!!!

-reformatted computer, reinstalled everything
-downloaded the newest version of mozilla
-happily went online for one day
-next day, browser does not load
-later the next day, browser doesn't even open up
-now when i go to open mozilla, something like this shows up:
"server busy, taking too long...if your firewall is on make sure mozilla is allowed to browse...adjust proxy settings blah blah...

HI Juanverano,
Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I have an Ipod Classic, one day he appears without music, now that i want to sync with my itunes an error occur. I download all the new itunes version and ipod software but again error. How do I make it work?

My ipod classic, have these problem:
One day I find out that all the music was completely gone, I always charged the ipod on Ihome.
So, I connect the ipod to my computer to sync the music, but mi computer recognize the ipod as a memory device. so delete itunes from my computer, following some support guides that i found in the mac support web. Again, it didnt work. The itunes doesnt detect it.
then I try to sync on a macbook, then it told it was corrupted i should restore th ipod, i try it but this could not be done... cause an error occur.
How I can restore my ipod...

Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck!

In iCal, "Available Meeting Times" greys out working hours one day off, MS Exchange

I am using iCal, accessing an MS Exchange server. When setting up a meeting, "Available Meeting Times" greys out the non-working hours of potential meeting participants. However, the days are one day off. E.g. the working hours of my collegues are displayed are Tuesday-Sunday instead of Monday-Friday. The dates and times of meetings are relayed correctly. Only the display of the working hours seems to be off.
Needless to say that my collegues are using Windows Outlook, and everything works there.

I still have the same issue. Had it ever since at least 2010 and meanwhile we switched Exchange-Servers and I'm on Mavericks, but still. Looks to me as if iCal requests something like "getWorkDays" from teh Server. The Server probably replies [2,3,4,5,6]. When the week starts on Sunday, this is perfectly fine. But if the Week starts on Monday, this will give you Tue-Sat as available Days. So it might be a bug in either Exchange or iCal to treat that information correctly, but I'm not obv. not sure about that.

"All-day" events in iCal appear one day early in week-view on iPad

Just got an iPad and synced with iCal. I noticed that "all day" events appear correctly in day-view and month-view, but in week-view, they are shifted one day earlier. But if I choose to edit such an event, the information is still correct, e.g. an all-day event for Monday, May 31 and Tuesday, June 1, has that information, and it appears on Monday and Tuesday in day- and month-view, but in week-view, it has "slid left" such that it appears on Sunday and Monday. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?

I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

All of my holidays in iCal are all one day off? How do I fix this?

All of my holidays in iCal are one day off... How do I fix this?

Heather,
Can you help me figure out why all of your Holiday's are different from your other events?
When/how were these Holiday events entered?
Have you checked iCal>Preferences...>Advanced>Turn on time zone support?

ICal All Day Events One Day Off

Once again, I am unable to use my Calendar... This time because any All Day event, subscribed or synced from gmail, are one day off. Seems like a problem that has been around for some time but I just ran into on an update to iOS-5. Any ideas? Switching the dates on all of my other calenders to fit the iPhone problem is not an option.
Also, no fix on 5.0.1

I just upgraded from Blackberry to iPhone 5. Have Outlook on work computer, and Enterprise server. I also have calendar issues, with all my all-day events showing up one day early. I have years of data, so I can't go back and change it all manually. Have tried turning Time Zone Support on and off, with no change. The manually set zone is correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Birthday calendar on iPad one day early with iOS5

The birthday calendar shows all birthdays one day early after upgrade to iOS5 on original iPad. I have all the automatic time adjustments and location recognition on. What is wrong?

I have read that this is a bug, here is a fix which has worked for me at least for the time being:
Here is a process that worked for me to correct the information in Calendars re birthdays appearing one day out:
(1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
(2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
(3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
(4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
(5) Sync again.
Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.
Thanks to @fortbailey for this. By the way Steff_BKK, is one of your email accounts an Exchange account? (This has been reported as something to do with this bug.)

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.
