T440s TouchPad - Tap and Drag - Where is the "locking drags" setting?
On my ThinkPad X220 TouchPad properties there is a Tap & Drap setting for Locking Drags (see below). When this is enabled you can tap twice on an item (and hold on second tap) to engage drag and then this will be locked until you tap again. The benefit of this is it is possible to use multiple discrete touchpad movements to move an item across the desktop without having to engage drag mode each time.

This feature is not specific to my X220. I find it on lots of laptops and I find it extremely useful.
However, on my T440s I can't find such a setting. Am I missing something?

I was looking for this setting too. It's extremely helpful when you need to select text. After googling around and finding little to no information I figured it out on my own. I grabbed my old laptop and compared the registry before and after checking the "locking drags" setting. All what you need to do is find the key:
HKU\S-1-5-21-*a-bunch-of-numbers*-1001\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchPadPS2TM2668,
and change the value of "Gestures" from 3 to 7. There is another similar key named TouchPadSMB2cTM2668. I was lazy to find out what key will affect the setting so I changed the valuge of "Gestures" too. After that log out / log in again or restart. It works perfectly for me.
Hope this helps.

Where is the option to set a ToDo item to repeat? ...
I imported some calendar entries from MS Outlook onto my 5800, of which most were set to repeat every month.
Those items successfully repeat on the device but on creating a new ToDo item using the device's calendar app, there is no option to set repeating occurrence!
Where is the option to set a ToDo item to repeat?
Can anyone please help me with this as I do not want to have to keep re-creating items and / or using Outlook to create them then transfer etc.
'Ta very much.Just found an alternative that I thought was possible but wanted to confirm.
Set yourself up a Nokia account on www.ovi.com and set up an OVI Sync account. Sync the phone to the online account to start with.
Then, using the online interface to OVI Sync you can create an event that can be repeated weekly among other things. Re-sync the phone and that repeating event will be entered into your calendar.

If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!
Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep -
LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is okay and the 32 bit file was indeed created. I have Windows 7 Home edition.
Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

My sister bought a 16GB iPod touch 5 and went thru all the steps to set up but then realized it didn't have a camera. So we clicked reset and erase all contents and settings. This does mean her credit card info is erased right?? Thanks for your help.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you erase an iPod touch, your information, apps and settings are deleted and iOS is back to factory settings. If she wanted an iPod touch with camera, she should return it after erasing it. Note that the iPod touch doesn't store her credit card information -
My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.
Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

Where is the "reload" button?
WHY HAVE A 'DETAILS' BOX THAT HOLDS 345 CHARACTERS WHEN YOU COME BACK AND DEMAND THAT I REDUCE IT TO 255 CHARACTERS? HOW STUPID IS THAT? I had an explanation written out but the system won't accept it.
Christ, now it's telling me that my question is too long and I don't even know how to get back to the question to reduce the number of characters in it. This is truly screwed up folks.By default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar -
Log and Capture - where are the cuts and renames stored
I'm having a problem where I'm loosing the cuts and clip renames
Sorry about that (I'm new to FCP)
Log and transfer sequentially renames all of the clips when I point to the AVCHD directory on my mac (which I copied from the camera). It, unfortunatly, doesn't add any leading 0's, and it sorts alphabetically, so my clips are out of order (1, 10, 11, 12, 13...2, 20). The process that I have been following, in order to get them back into order, is to add leading 0's to make them the same length (eg Clip# 1 becomes Clip# 001...). This is a real pain and I would welcome suggestions on how to improve this process. I would be much happier if it used the start time of the clip (or even the sequential 5-digit clip number that comes off of the camera)
In 'Log and Transfer' I am setting in and out points on the clips. When I add them to the import batch the utility only brings in the video between the points.
My problem is that, on a few occations, I have gone through the hour or so that it takes to do this only to find that the changes are gone when I reloaded the project. Most of the time it works fine but, if I knew how / where it stored this info, I would be able to verify it and make sure that it's archived...
Thanks again for your help
