T440p freeze with display corruption - anyone else?
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with display corruption similar to this:
Link to image
It happens randomly 1-3 times per day, and I have been unable to reproduce on demand.
memtest86 and Lenovo's memory testing utility both pass.
No critical events are logged in Event Viewer, other than "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first."
Problem occurs both docked and undocked.
Open files were often corrupted (overwritten with 0's) - this was resolved by disabling write caching on the drive.
I've just about run out of ideas and this is incredibly frustrating. I found a github issue for Linux which might be related.
System:
T440p w/4700MQ and NVIDIA 730m
RAM 16GB (Patriot PSD316G1333SK)
SSD 256GB (SanDisk SDSSDHP256G)
HDD 500GB in UltraBay (HGST HTS725050A7E6300)
Windows 8.1
BIOS 2.19 and latest drivers for everything (nothing available with Lenovo Update)

Hi -
I'm wondering if the issue reported by mixdio is related to resuming from Sleep also.
Though, I am not encountering corruption, I too have an issue with that same SATA drive (hgst hts725050A7E6300), when resuming from Sleep. My issue is that I continually receive "Problem Ejecting ... (hgst hts725050A7E6300)" (after waking from Sleep and logging in).
I originally encountered this about a year ago. I just basically kept up on (Lenovo) System Updates and Windows Updates, ensured the drive in the UltraBay was locked in, and dismissed the error as false weirdness. Unfortunately, last Summer, that drive went corrupt and was unrecoverable.
(my SSD on controller 0 went defunct as well - very bad sucky time - also a learning lesson: SSD like any other hardware device, even though it doesn't have moving parts, like memory, CPU, etc - they can all go bad ... I just look down and shake my head everytime I hear someone praise SSD like it's some Technological Messiah ... so foolish)
But last Fall, I was able to correct it by running the "Fix for issue of HDD with HD detection for Windows 7" update (and starting the service in TaskScheduler - which is not outlined in the instructions).
Now, for some odd reason, I am again encountering the error. And now I am basically going through Events and finding what I can on that drive and searching for other "resume from sleep on Windows 7" issues.
I'm on a W530 running Win7 Pro 64

Howdy MacRocker,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start with troubleshooting an issue like this where you're unable to load certain websites in Safari, I suggest that you clear out your browser history and website data.

Games crashing on XP with boot camp, anyone else have this problem?
I got my new MacBook for christmas (2.4 ghz & 4GB ram) and have just put XP on it using boot camp.
I've updated to SP3 and updated all drivers from the apple disk and internet, the problem I'm having is the games play fine for about 10mins and then the fans go into overdrive and after a few more minutes the game crashes and freezes. This happens with every game I have installed.
Anyone else having this problem, know a fix?
Sound like software or hardware issue?
CheersHi
It sounds like the HD is the problem (either hardware or software related). My vote is "hardware". However, try the following steps in the event the problem is software related.
First, hold down the shift key on the start-up. This puts the computer start-up into Safe Mode. If the HD is recognized as the start-up disk, then continue through the log-in. When the start-up is finished, restart the computer, this time without holding down the shift key.
If it doesn't work, there may be HD directory corruption. To "repair the disk" insert your Tiger Installer DVD (disk 1). After it loads, restart the system, holding down the C key when the screen turns dark. Once the grey Apple screen appears you can let go of the C key.
When the DVD is fully loaded, select Disk Utility in the Utility menu. A window will open showing your HD on the left. Single click on your HD, then select "repair disk" in the lower right of the screen. If errors appear during the "repair", rerun the utility until you get a clean pass. Depending on the Then quit the Utility and Installer, letting the computer restart.
As an aside, repairing permissions using the Installer DVD sets the system's permissions to those in use for the OS X version on that DVD. If your HD has a later version of OS X, it is possible that the incorrect permissions were set when you used Disk Utility in the Installer DVD to repair them. Best approach is to use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder after logging-in, rather than the Installer Disc.

Java 1.4.2_03 display bug -- anyone else seen this?
Hi All,
I've noticed that my application, which worked fine under 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 no longer works under the latest and greatest (?) J2SE, 1.4.2.
In short, the application consists of a bunch of JApplets stored as cards in a CardLayout, which is then placed in a JFrame. When the user selects a particular JApplet, the card containing the JApplet is displayed in the JFrame.
Under 1.4.2, the application window shows up, and I'm able to access all the JMenu entities, but the JFrame remains blank!
Has anyone else happened to run into this behavior?
Thanks,
- Fromageimport java.awt.*;

I keep on getting a glitch that changes my options at the top. I lose the "playlist" option and it is replaced by "list". I cannot burn cd's without the playlist option. Anyone else having problems with glitches? Any suggestions ? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled twice with no luck.
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

New 4s connected to my Lexus bluetooth. Having intermittent problem with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never a problem with 3gs phone. Anyone else having this problem?
I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month. -
have lion 10.7.4 up graded from tiger 10.5.8. tried to download mountain lion but received a message that mountain lion is not compatible with my computer. anyone have this problem or suggestion?
It's actually not the chip... it's the drivers for the video card. this is what my friend who does IT work said.
"The drivers for your Mac's video card are not 64bit compatible even though the computer itself is. Mountain Lion has done away with all 32bit OS components so it only runs on full 64bit MAcs now"
So even though I updated my video card to a newer version and my computer itself is 64bit... apple didn't create a driver for it that was 64 bit. My hardware is fine for this update and the chip can handle it. It can handle all my 64 bit programs just fine. It's apple forcing me to update and buy a new expensive computer. So much for long lasting computer... they last long but they won't be supported very long.
Why not release a version of mountain lion that supports 32 bit graphics alongside the 64 bit? Wasn't that what grand central was going to accomplish? This is rubbish. -
All v8 files saved from Illustrator CC seem to be corrupt - anyone else see this?
Hi There,
I've tried searching for this but couldn't find anything. I'm trying to import an illustrator file into Cinema4D which requires me to save a v8 eps - but when I try to import, nothing happens.
At first I hought it was a C4D issue but if I:
Create a new Illustrator file in CC
Export v8 eps
Try to open the newly created v8 eps in Illustrator CC
Then I see the following error:
"Can't open the Illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand. Offending operator: {eps_metadata_stream} Context: ZA"
I've tried the following steps to reproduce the issue on two different Macs (10.8.4 and 10.8.5) and see the same error each time:
Create a new blank file (print intent)
Create a text box and type some text
Convert all text to paths
Save as Illustrator v8
Does anyone else see this issue in Illustrator CC?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
BenI'm having this same issue.
Sadly HDave387's fix doesn't work for me. I have Universal Type client instead.
What does seem to work though is "Save as Copy". For some reason that's perfectly fine, but "Save As" throws out an error when trying to reopen the v8 .eps. -
Problems with Home button, anyone else experiencing this?
Okay so over the last few days, my home button seems to be playing up but in a weird way.
If I press the sleep button then the home button to reactivate the screen, I have no problems what so ever. However if the phone auto-sleeps and I go to use the home button to reactivate then I have to press the home button between 5 and 10 times to get it to wake up! (**** lazy phone lol)
Was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this?
My only problem is, I can't take it back to the apple store, it was bought back from Australia and is factory unlocked, so what do i do?Ignore previous.
I think the phone just glitched up completely.
It was no longer picking up my wifi, turned the phone off then back on, picking up wifi and home button works as it should. -

Back Up Assistant freezes on LG Cosmos3 - anyone else have this issue?
Let me share my experience. To save money, I did not renew my contract plan and went with two prepaid basic phones. (the LG Cosmos3) Within two days, I knew there was a problem. When the back up assistant would try to execute a scheduled backup when the phone was in a locked mode, the application would freeze and not complete the process. If the backup ran at night, the screen would remain frozen until I would discover it in the moring and unlock the phone and press clr or end. Upon accessing the on line community, I noticed another user describing this same issue. I called Verizon customer support and explained my issue. She put me on hold and returned to the phone stating she had consulted IT. The indication was that IT was aware of this issue.... what ashame my local store didn't mention that to me as I was paying $122.74 to buy the phone, accessories, and prepay for the first months use ! It was suggested I try to uninstall then reinstall the backup app. I was told if that didn't work, then I should take the phone to Best Buy and have the Geek Squad reflash my phone. (despite the fact that I bought the phone directly from my local Verizon which the rep knew)
I then drove to my local Verizon store and shared the info given by the customer service technician I spoke to on the phone. The in-store employees had never heard of this being an issue ! The store employee then showed me that on pre installed factory software, there is no uninstall option choice to unload the app. He then took my phone to the store manager to check and see if there was any software upgrades available which there was not.
Leaving the Verizon store unsatisfied, I then went to Best Buy where it was suggested they could do a reflash. When I told this to the in store employees, they told me they can only flash Samsung products not LG at BestBuy.
I then drove back to my home to recontact Verizon by phone. I explained the situation to another customer service rep which told me we should try to reset the backup app. She had my go to my installed Backup app, go to the "About" option on the app, and dial *73738# . If this doesn't properly reset backup assist to where it no longer freezes while the phone is in locked mode, I will have no choice but to turn auto lock off so the phone can run the app. Otherwise, I will be waiting until Verizon/LG develope a patch for a fix.
It is just frustrating to pay for a product with a known compatibility issue. Once you leave the store and they have your money, Good Luck !
I was told by the Verizon customer service rep if I was discouraged with the phone and wanted a different model, I would have to talk to LG to see if they would send me another phone of a different model without the compatibility issue.... apparently that is not Verizon's problem.
It just seems unreasonable for this phone to continue to be sold until these issue are resolved... or should I say it seems disrespectful ?

If I go thru the process to restore my phone as you suggest, it gives me a warning that after that process my phone will need to be reprogrammed.... can you give further instructions on how to do that after the restore process please.
I am a bit doubting as to why my software would be corrupted and why it will benefit to restore the phone. This phone has had this issue since day 1 when it was taken out of the box and activated by in-store Verizon employees. It would appear that this software issue has existed at the factory level when the phone was produced?
My other frustration is the inconsistant answers I have gotten from Verizon support both verbally and online.
1) At the national call center I was told to uninstall then reinstall BackUp. When I consulted my local Verizon store, I was told that factory installed software cannot be uninstalled making this recommendation useless.
2) Again on a verbal basis by Verizon support, I was told to take the phone to BestBuy to have the phone reflashed. When I got to BestBuy, despite buying this phone directly from my local Verizon store, I was told that BestBuy can only reflash Samsung products.
3)Verbally by Verizon support, I was told to dial *73738# to reset BackUp assistant
None of those items have worked. I am now experimenting on my own to see if I turn off the keyguard auto lock at night, if that will allow BackUp to run and complete successfully.
4)Another time when I called Verizon support, It was eluded to that IT knows about the issue and is working on a fix. If that is the case, how frustrating that this phone is actively being sold to un-suspecting customers despite having a known software issue.
******Are you able to verify if IT is aware of this software issue and if or when will a software patch be available ???**** -

Outgoing pop mail is very slow - at times 10 - 20 minutes and more, even on messges with no attachments. This has happened since my upgrade to Lion. My DSL line tests out ok, but Apple says it must be a slow line. Any one else have problems?
POP is only used for incoming mail. Some POP servers are the same as SMTP servers.
Check to make sure your internet service provider can either give you an SMTP server, or that you are using password authentication to get to an outside line with the proper port. Outside SMTP servers are often on one of the ports 587, 2626, 2662, and often use your full e-mail address for username authentication. -
ITunes still freezing at 9th second, anyone else have same problem?
I noticed a decline in the number of complaints regarding the 9th second freeze.
I have already upgraded to iTunes 7.5 and have 1.0.3 software installed. It declined greatly in the 1.0.2 update, but I have not noticed any difference between the 1.0.2 update and the 1.0.3. Is anyone still having this problem? I like connecting my iPod to iTunes while i'm at work.iTunes 7.6.2 (9) does not address this problem.
It is hard to believe a problem this bad could be allowed to continue for so long. I suspect it is related to the way the song database on the ipod classic is encrypted. So every time the database needs to be updated the whole thing has to be re-encrypted which uses too much CPU and causes the freeze.
Is there any other software out there that I can use instead of iTunes?
