T42 replacement LCDs compatible across manufacturers, all other things being equal?

I have to replace the screen in a T42 (tough as they are, something's gotta give when the ThinkPad is sandwiched between my high-school nephew's ad-hoc wrestling practice and a hardwood floor..... :-) ), and in looking at the Hardware Maintenance Manual for this model (39t6192_01.pdf), it lists multiple manufacturers (Samsung, LG and CMO) and P/N's (11P8352, 92P6726 and 92P6675, respectively) for the 14.1" XGA TFT LCD that's currently in this laptop. From what I can tell, the CMO part is the glossy screen, and the Samsung/LG parts are matte, so I'd probably be sticking with what's in there, the Samsung/LG.
My question is this: can I replace the screen that currently is in the laptop with either one of the listed parts, or do I have to replace the screen with one from the same manufacturer?
Type number is 2379-R1U, I can provide the serial number if that's needed.....

Welcome to the forum!
All of those screens are matte, none is glossy. They are completely interchangeable, just make sure to get a genuine IBM/Lenovo unit with a FRU# number on the back of the screen, and NOT any type of "compatible" third-party-garbage from eBay...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Share itunes music across family without sharing other things in the itunes media folder!

I am sick and tired of itunes. seriously! apple just wont let go off its tight control over how I can configure my machine!
i have had to create 3 user accounts on my machine (which is the only mac in my home and only used by me) just because my mom and dad each have an iphone and would want to be able to backup and update their iphones. its simply impossible to get it done from the itunes of a single user account.
now i set the target media folder in each itunes library of each user account to the 'Shared' folder on my mac but it ends up sharing more than just the music. worst, it doesn't handle apps from each account gracefully. consequently, it failed at syncing my dad's apps to his new iphone when i restored the back up from the old one cause there was some conflict with the same app from my user account and his. thankfully his smartphone needs are minimal and i'll only have to redownload about half a dozen apps. but this is getting more complicated by the day.
i decided to just move the music folder to the shared folder and keep a referenced library but that means that when one user account downloads a track the others cannot access it as the track creates and exists in a new music folder inside the itunes media folder (which is not 'reseted' back to its original location).
so now that i have the apps trauma sorted out my music needs to be manually managed! sigh. i have like 30 gb of PAID FOR itunes music (yes paid music! some legalized using itunes match and nearly half of them purchased) and i dont want my family who stays with me to purchase all of the stuff again.
is there any graceful way of handling this?

If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

As others have said, the answer to your question is a big YES. Formatting a drive will delete everything!
To keep your data, yet reformat the drive for optimal Mac compatibility, you will need to:
1) copy your files to a different hard drive (I would recommend two different locations if you value your data)
2) repartition/format the external drive
3) then copy the files back to the external.
You haven't given details but if you need the external to ONLY be compatible with the Mac (and no longer care if if can be read by Windows), then you will want to partition the drive using the GUID partition scheme, and format as the (HFS+) "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" filesystem. You can do so using the built-in "Disk Utility" application on your Mac (in the Applications/Utilities directory). Here are instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph5845
If you need the drive to be compatible with both Mac and Windows computers then please post that so someone can recommend a solution for your specific needs.

Can anyone help, any would be appreciated.

You have exported as an Address Book archive file: you need to select all the contacts and choose to export them as a vCard - this is the only format you can import into the iCloud website.

I synch my iPad, iPhone4 and MacBookPro iCal through ICloud. All calanders except one synch on my MacBook, although all others synch across all devices. Any clues?

I synch my iPad, iPhone4 and MacBookPro through ICloud. All calanders on iCal, except one, synch on my MacBook, although all others synch across all devices. I receive the following error message "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." with no idea how to remedy.

I've just noticed the same problem. My iCloud account had disappeared from the Calendar app. When I added it again, same error "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed."

I have just recently bought a 13" mac book pro and my dearest wife would like an ipad2 would excel be compatible across the iPad 2 and the MBP?

Hello people,
Need a little help here, I recently purchased my first ever MacBook Pro and my dearest wife is looking at using an iPad 2 to do some excel spreadsheets for her new cake enterprise.
The question i have is can excel for Mac be transferred over to and from these two devices.
Thanks in anticipation
Russ

There are several iPad apps that can read and write Excel files or Excel-compatible files. Numbers is one, and I use it on both my MBP and my iPad, though not heavily on either. I also use Excel on the Mac, and because I'm used to it, I prefer it to Numbers, which works a bit differently.
I would be leery of buying an iPad to use as a substitute for a computer. Typing on it is very inefficient unless you use an external keyboard, and no Mac or Windows software runs on it -- only iOS software. You must use a computer to move files onto and off it, organizing them on it is difficult, and if you don't have a network printer you can't print from it. I dearly love my iPad 2, but it's an adjunct to my heavily-used MBP, not a substitute for one.

Network settings export - is it compatible across all osx versions ?

Hi.
I have created a network preferences export file to configure vpn settings on other osx macs here at work (using 10.6.8). Can anyone tell me if this file is compatible with all osx os versions, or do I need to generate osx major version specific export files ?
Thanks, milleuardo

Thx for the quick reply Nerowolfe...
I did do as you said and a few other ways also in trying to troubleshoot this, but it still doesn't save the settings. Setting the lock on does no good since the settings disappear after the "Apply" button is pressed. You have to "Apply" before you lock.
Very confusing....
I'm an old *nix guy, so I thought I'll just shell in and change the files manually. Did that, but if I opened Network Prefernces again and changed anything, it reverted the files back.
Very, very confusing....
I have only one setting - in DNS - but it stays there. I never used WINS.
You might see if you can do it with another user with admin privs as a test.
Also if you haven't, run DU and check the HD and repair permissions.
Barring that, you may have a corrupted .plist that needs trashing. Sometimes the preference file for a group of settings gets corrupted and by dragging it to the desktop the system creates a new one. This could work, but there are not guarantees.
The .plist files are in User->Library->Preferences. I don't know of a good list of which plist goes with which preferences other than that the names are sometimes (but not always) helpful

Re: Manufacturers Coupon + PM causing issues -- Policy change or Incorrect Store Procedure

Here we are again -- Ghostbusters $5 MQ is available and multiple Bluray forums have reports of MQ not being accepted in store for eligible items.
Various excuses from clerks as well as Managers.
1) BBY do not accept MQ on sale prices or the MQ discount can only be taken from the List price and not the sales price (or even a Price Match)
2) BBY can't accept MQ unless they scan -- which of course BBY system isn't set up to scan MQ and they have to be entered with the F7 key
3) BBy doesn't ever accept Internet printed coupons
4) The coupon has to be in color and not Black and White.
You won't let me post direct links to those posts from other forums so you are going to have to take my word.    Again -- this is not my store, but I am trying to get the mods here to understand just how common this is and how many stores/managers just don't seem to understand the BBY Corporate policy on accepting MQ.
I really like BBY and my stores usually accept coupons without problems, but this is just far too common of a problem to have it continue to affect customers when the solution is actually pretty easy.
Calling 1-800 BBY almost always gets someone who doesn't understand the issue any better than the manager and will almost always back up the managers incorrect explanation.

I have not personally had issues (or at least very rarely) at my regular stores where I'm pretty well known so I know how this is supposed to work at BBY.    I do have Senior Member Status on many/most of the major internet forums where collectors hang out -- i.e. those people who still buy physical media and often have collections of hundreds if not thousands of movies.   I have tried to get members of those forums to directly post their issues here and let you guys handle the issues, but many find it too much trouble to sign up for yet another forum and many just buy elsewhere.
The few times I have enticed people to directly post their experiences here have generally gotten reimbursed the cost or an extra RZ certificate to cover the difference, but the next time the store will still reject the MQ with the same excuse since the "education" rarely gets to the offending stores and managers.   The general consensus seems to be the Managers can set their own policy and BBY Corporate CSR's are left to pacify those customers who eventually complain.   Many regular customers have just given up and taken their business elsewhere b/c of never changing hassle at their local BBY.   By the point in time people get to this stage, the damage to BBY reputation is already cemented and it's very difficult to win back that trust.
A few cut and paste comments of the fallout of such failures to communicate. These are a few that I picked (some slightly edited for language more than content, but there are quite a few more just in the Ghostbusters threads.   Pretty much anytime Disney or Coupons.com has a MQ it starts up again with a different group of actors with the same basic story.
"How did I know there'd be problems? "
"well...it's BB and it's impossible for them to get anything right most of the time?"
"The Best Buy I visited today wouldn't honor the coupon. Had a manager come over to basically tell me I wasn't the only person today who tried to use it, but since it wouldn't scan in their system, they couldn't accept it."
"Getting BB to accept the coupon was a maddening experience.
Of course the person at the register didn't know what to do with it. Next someone else came over and looked at the coupon and kept saying they wouldn't take it because it wouldn't scan. I told them for the years I've been shopping there they don't scan and they have to be entered manually. She went in the back and disappeared for about 10 minutes. She came back and said she wouldn't take it because the UPC numbers on the coupon didn't match the product.
I turned over the packaging and showed her how it matched the UPC. She was like "yeah, but our number is different". She was referring to BB's internal sku number! I asked to speak with someone who could do this properly and she said she was the manager. I was upset at this point and I said that was impossible.
Ultimately she applied the coupon as a $5 discount but she insisted that BB doesn't accept manufacturer coupons. To clarify, I said so if I go on the website and check BB's policies it will state they don't accept manufacturer coupons? She said yes again.
I know they pull this kind of crap nationwide all the time, but what the hell is going on when the supposed manager of the store doesn't even know how to apply a manufacturer coupon!? "
"Welcome to Every time I try to use a coupon or price match at ANY Best Buy. If I wasn't all about "deals" I would never shop there."
"They of course NEVER scan so it always involves the cashier going over it with a microscope, typically they say no, then this requires me asking for a manager who acts like I am taking money out of his pocket and gives me the old "one time exception" garbage.
It's late 2014 and BB's IT department still hasn't figured out how to program to accept a valid manufactures coupon."
"Went to BBY on my break and they actually had Ghostbusters! They had about 5 or 6. The cashier wouldn't take he coupon because it wouldn't scan. He told me I could go to customer service and they might do it. I didn't have time so I just bought it for $19. Oh well. I've already justified the price in my mind. Too bad BBY won't take a manufacture's coupon. This is why I don't shop there any more." [I think this poster did eventually go back to a different store and finally get his proper discount, but more gas money, wasted time/energy. and obvious dissastifaction.]
"Best Buy refused to accept coupon because it's "on sale".
Told them the MFG coupon is supposed to accepted as payment.
Called corporate and the rep told me they can't accept it because coupon says "no other discount or offer". They are so full of ..."   [My highlight since even calling 1-888 in store oftne if not usually results in this sort of response that the mods here have constantly said was incorrect]
"Here is my tale of woe and wonder........ He rang everything up, then told me I couldn't use the Ghostbuster's coupon and my reward zone at the same time. I argued .......... "
I have lost count of the variations of   'The aggravation/refusal to properly allow me to use MQ is why I never shop at BBY anymore and I go to Target (or buy from Amazon)'
I like my BBY and want to see the store stay healthy, viable, and relevant for the next decade and not end up another Circuit City, or AV Systems, or (insert bankrupt Ex Consumer Electronics store). but too many people have already relegated BBY to that fate due to ever shrinking item selection and what can be deemed far too widespread customer unfriendly policies.   I dread a world where Amazon and Walmart are my only choices.
I don't understand why there is not a FAQ available that clearly and explicitly states the acceptable various uses of MQ including a Q/A set of examples of acceptable combination (with Price Match, with sales prices, combining BBY coupon vs MQ, MQ combined with RZ certs, etc)    Generally Target has the best written coupon policy of the major stores so it's pretty easy if a store isn't following policy to print it and show it to the individual stores.

Which catalyst switch modules are compatible across switching platforms and families?

Which modules from 3750 can work in other switches like 3850, 3650X, etc.? For example, can a service module be pulled from 3750 & used in 3850?

Directly from Cisco Q & A:
Q. Are the uplinks between the Cisco Catalyst 3850 and the 3750-X interchangeable?
A. No, the uplink modules from the 3750-X are not compatible with the Cisco Catalyst 3850.

I want to make a digital magazine, compatible across all platforms, to distribute privately. Help!

A client wants to create a non-printed magazine, but only for limited distribution to a list of 2000-4000 readers. The high costs of digital publishing are prohibitive however - is there any way to create the magazine for private distribution?
Any help would be much appreciated!

That’s only for single edition and that’s only for public distribution in the iTunes App Store.
No biggie.

ITunes match does not work on my iPhone 4S, but is working across all of my other Macs and iOS devices. All other iCloud services are working fine on the 4S - any suggestions?

iTunes match is not working on my iPhone 4S; it works awesome across all of my Macs and other iOS devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 4g x 2, and my wife's iPhone 4). Any suggestions? Thanks!

It is not possible to "toggle back and forth" at will. If you associate a device with an Apple ID and you have iTunes Match enabled you must wait 90 days before you can associate it with another Apple ID. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

LCD on Photosmart 5510e is all white- need layout of buttons so I can reconnect wireless settings

My printer is out of warranty and the LCD screen is all light grey (failure). I've lost the wireless network and cannot navigate what areas to press because all instruction booklets, manuals, and resources on the web reference..."follow the prompts on the screen to continue setup". Which doesn't help me at all when I can't see anything on the screen.
Otherwise it workes fabulously. Is there any resource, location or mapping that I can find which will help me to reset the printer without replaceing the LCD (not worth it).
FYI - I am on a MAC platform.

Hi @suek357 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're experiencing display issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer.
I would also recommend plugging the printer power into a different wall outlet.
I would then suggest updating the printer firmware:

So I have a macbook with latest version 10.4.11 and bought an ipad, now i can't synch it neither can I download Itunes version 10.5 or higher as it is not compatible. Is there any other way than having to buy a new laptop? This seems ridiculous

I have bought an ipad 2. My macbook is old mac os x version 10.4.11 and itunes version 9.2 which cant synch my new ipad as i need version 10.5 or later which however is not compatible with my mac os x. what can i do to synch my ipad without having to buy a new laptop?

Maggie, if you go to http://www.everymac.com and look at the MacBook list, and find your machine, all 2006 and later had Core 2 Duo cpus so could use Mac OS X through Lion. They only have 1 GB ram so that would have to be upgraded, can use up to 4 GB which would be preferred for Lion. You could easily upgrade that machine to Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 is the highest, and raise the memory to 2 GB so it woud run better. You can then use the latest iTunes and have easy syncing of your iPad.
Memory can be found at Mac specialists like Crucial and OWC, http://www.macsales.com they guarantee their ram and have on-line videos on installing.
Just some things to think about.

Zen Touch, LCD Display not working at all, but player is f

So I'm on the bus, listening to my Zen Touch, it's working fine, the LCD is working fine. Everything is dandy. Few songs later, I pull it out of my pocket, the LCD is blank. But the player is still going. I can change songs, adjust volume, play all randomly etc etc, but I'm working blind, cause there is nothing on the display whatsoever.
It was a dry day, so it wasnt moisture damage or anything. And I didnt drop it, or bang it. It went from working fine, to going in my pocket, to not working. Really strange.
I'm sure its just defecti've, but I leave for a week long vacation in just under an hour (good timing eh? works fine for 8 months and then bam, 6 hours before I leave the country...ugh **bleep** karma), and I'm praying theres a simple fix I'm just missing. I already tried multiple restarts and resets, and I even charged it for a few hours, thinking the battery was just getting weak. But no dice. I doubt anyone can help me, but I figured it's worth at least a shot.Message Edited by myname on 0-24-2005 05:07 AM

If it won't display anything at all, even after a reset, it's likely there is a hardware problem. You could connect the player to the PC and update the firmware, but I suspect it'll be the same after that, unfortunately.
