T500 Driver crash problem, for all upgrading owners

To all the T500 Owners who have upgraded to windows 7. There is one major problem hindering a lot of t500 owners. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread to download the catalyst 9.9 drivers from ATI.  Everything else has worked great and all the drives have automatically been updated smoothly.
They install properly but after a restart this is what happens as mentioned by another user
"Hi I have a big problem with my lenovo T500. I installed Windows 7 RC x64 to my lenovo T500 (2082-53G) and when I install the ATI catalyst beta driver v9.9 from ATI's homepage, my computer freezes at startup (some activity on HD but I can't move my mouse and many processes faile to start at boot). I'm not the only one facing this problem: Lenovo T500 Thinkpad - WDM Radeon 3650 Driver Update Causes Screen to Freeze"
I have the exact same problem.... have formatted twice already, gone into safe mode, theres no getting around this problem.
Any help? I have the 32 bit version of windows 7 enterprise 90 day trial.
I know we might not be able to swtich the graphic cards, but at the very least we should be able to pick one in bios and  be forced to use that.  At this point its not even allowing me to install the discrete driver.

Hi SuperWoofer,
Thanks for your sharing. You're very helpful indeed! =)
Regards,
Cleo

  • Interesting problem for all students and programmers Have a look!

    Hello. This is a very interesting problem for all programmers and students. I have my spalsh screen class which displays a splash when run from the main method in the same class. However when run from another class( in my case from my login class, when user name and password is validated) I create an instance of the class and show it. But the image in the splash is not shown. Only a squared white background is visible!!!.
    I am sending the two classes
    Can u tell me why and propose a solution. Thanks.

    Use tcode XK99 for vendor mass change, select the Fax no field. You have to take note that this changes will be only 1 fax number for all vendors.

  • IPod hard drive crashing problems

    Sorry this is going to be long, as I want to give some background, because I would love to hear opinions about this:
    I had a 6th generation 160g iPod for just over 3 years. I was on vacation using it over a long weekend a week ago. I was listening to music and decided I was going to watch a Simpsons episode that I bought from the iTunes store and was in my "tv shows" section of my iPod.
    As I went to switch to the episode, the iPod froze black. I had been having issues with it randomly resetting itself or pausing during songs, so I thought it might be on its way out. - Sure enough when I did the reset it never booted back up. I tried several times. So when I got back home 2 days later and plugged it into my computer, I was not surprised that it still would not reboot.
    I was bummed. 3 years is not a long time when you spend that much money. I am broke right now and since I am a music fanatic, with a huge music library I was wondering how I was going to carry on. I cannot afford to buy a new iPod.
    My dear father came to my rescue and showed up at my house with a brand new 7th generation 160g iPod on Saturday evening, just as a nice jesture. - I let it sync up, went to bed. Sunday afternoon, I was taking my daughter to the park and I brought my iPod into the car. I noticed that much of the artwork was not popping up as I looked through both coverflow and sampled some songs in playlists. And when I went to try a video again... BAM, the iPod locked up and wouldn't reset, just like the old one.
    I thought... maybe this is a fluke, but how strange that a brand new iPod would crash again on legally purchased iTunes video. So after trying to get it to reset, I plugged it in and again, it would not reset and my computer would not recognize it. The hard-drive just wouldn't boot up.
    Then I thought... even though it wasn't plugged into my computer either time and I had used the old one for a while without syncing, maybe it was something on my computer... so I plugged it into my wife's laptop and it said "found new hardware" and then there was a new message saying something along the lines of "there is a problem with your new hardware and it cannot be installed".
    My dad had gotten the 2 year warranty, but since it wasn't even 24 hours, I went to Best Buy and brought them back the iPod. They checked it out and said "wow, it's rare that out of the box it would crash, but it's crashed" and they gave me a new one. - I asked them about the possibility of something corrupting it, but they said it was unlikely and they since it's a hard-drive, hard-drives crash.
    So on Sunday evening, I did the same routine, I synced my iPod. This time, I tried a little bit of music and a little bit of video without syncing my library and it worked... Then that night I let the whole thing sync.
    This morning (Monday) I took it to work and played some music while I dropped my daughter off, and all of a sudden all the artwork is gone again... I figured I deal with that later, because although it bothered me, at least it was playing song after song with no issue.
    I'm at work now and I was letting a playlist play on shuffle. It was working just find and was so happy to have an iPod back.
    Then I hit the menu button and it takes me back to "coverflow" (the last place I was browsing) and all of a sudden the sound starts buzzing and the whole thing locks up. It's stuck, so I go to reset it...
    And low & behold, it won't reset, like the hard-drive crashed AGAIN. This is the 3rd iPod in a row. I plugged it into my work computer, just to see if it would recognize it. (I downloaded the latest iTunes on there) It won't. Again it just won't reboot.
    Now the first one, I was having hard-drive troubles, and hadn't been synced in a while, so unfortunately I think the product just doesn't last very long.
    But now with 2 new ones, it's making me think that there could be a problem with something in my computer. But I can't imagine what. Everything is either ripped directly into iTunes from a CD, bought from the iTunes store or were WAV files I put into iTunes and converted to aac files. I am a musicians and don't believe in illegally downloading music and don't use torrents. I can't imagine what could corrupt anything I'm syncing.
    I have about 110g of music that I am trying to sync. And then some tv shows, which I don't always sync all of them. Most of them were purchased from iTunes, but I have a few that I took from DVD and converted and put into my iTunes.
    I have called the apple help line, but they want me to call them back when I'm at my computer at home and we can trouble shoot, even though I know they won't be able to help me, because my iPod won't be able to be read.
    I would love to get some opinions and help.
    Thank you,
    Paul.

    Okay, by looking at my previous posting in this forum, it has apparently only been 2 1/2 years since I got my last iPod.

  • Regarding USB Driver (OMAP1710) Problem for Belkin...

    Dear All,
    I've been trying to update my Belkin Skype Phone (F1PP000GN-SK) from version: 1.1.0.10 R20 to version: 1.1.0.22R20 from the belkin support site.
    But the problem is when i connect the USB cable to my Windows 7 (32-bit) laptop i get a pop-up saying "Missing OMAP1710 USB driver' 
    Kindly someone help me pls.

    I believe the original drivers packaged with the Belkin installer/flasher may work on the 32-bit version of Windows 7, but will not work with the 64-bit version.  Since I do own this phone, I decided to resolve this problem for myself as well.  Even though they are not available from Belkin, I was able to track down and extract/modify the latest drivers/inf for this phone.  
    You will need to extract and browse to these files using device manager to get the device installed.  You will get a warning about the files being unsigned, proceed anyway to finish installing the device.    Before flashing you will either have to disconnect/reconnect the phone or press the "#" key to refresh it.  Once it starts flashing DO NOT disconnect the device.  I've reflashed my phone several times without issue.
    If the reason behind upgrading it is to resolve a freeze, the upgrade may not fix it.  You would want to downgrade to the original release.  That will generally resolve the issue.  After that, you can flash it to the latest release.
    My version of the latest drivers for Windows XP/Vista/7/8 (32/64-bit unified inf) are available from the following location:

  • Hard drive beachball problem for the 17"

    Ok, so I know that there is already a few posts about this issue, (including the very large 96 page one) but I wanted to start a post for those of us with a 17" MBP that are having the same issues.
    I was on the phone to a senior technician at Apple (Australia) today for about 2 hours trying to sort out this problem. Firstly he was a bit hazy about the issue to begin with assuming it was a RAM paging issue. Seriously, this thing has 4gb of ram, I think you would have to running so much stuff at once for it to legitimately run out of ram. I'm a web developer/designer so I can push the machine reasonable hard sometimes but I get the beachballs even when I only have safari and mail open. This is the fastest (stock) laptop Apple have ever produced, surely it can handle a bit of stick.
    So I suggested it could be the hard drive/firmware etc and mentioned about the large amount of people on here with the exact same issue. After looking into some internal documentation he noted that there was indeed similar problems happening around the place but he seemed convinced that this only applied to 13" and 15" models and that the 17" never got the 1.7 firmware update.
    After looking at the firmware page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 it seems maybe he's right. I can't see my boot ROM version there anywhere (MBP52.008E.B05) The mid 2009 model 17" isn't on that list.
    Whilst my friend at Apple is reasonably sure that my issue is software related and wants me to watch the console when Im having the freezing, I'm positive that I'm having the exact same problem as the 13 and 15s.
    Can other people with 17" MBP that are having the same issue please post here so that we can begin to build a case for Apple to acknowledge the problem for our model too? Please add whether you have installed a 3rd party hdd or whether you are having the problem despite only having the stock hdd like me.
    Thanks guys.

    soniktrooth, count me in. I am experiencing the same problem myself - I just recently posted over in the mega forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10222616#10222616
    There is a chance that the hard disk could be at fault I guess, but the symptoms of this problem for me are remarkably similar to what I've read in the 96 page post, and on the macrumors forums. To summarise:
    * the problem usually begins when I'm playing iTunes all day, and then I'll go to save something, say in TextMate, and then iTunes stops playing.
    * Any app you then try to switch to while the freeze is there will then just beachball itself.
    * Like you, I know this is something out of the ordinary, since iTunes rarely stops playing music, and hardly ever did on my 4 year old G5.
    * I can make the problem go away by restarting and zapping the PRAM. All day today my computer has been fine, but I suspect that sometime tomorrow it'll probably start all over again.
    * My drive is a factory Hitachi 5400 RPM drive... what do you have?
    * My boot ROM version is the same as yours too.
    * I have 8GB of RAM in this machine, so I'm pretty **** sure it's NOT a paging issue for me. paging issues never last 20-30 seconds though, that's absurd if anyone claims that is the cause... also, the hard disk doesn't really crank noticeably while the freeze is there.
    I'm wondering if there was some sort of revision too for this model that may be causing this. Seems unlikely that Apple would have changed the motherboard between the january model and this one, but I'm not sure if this is absolutely confirmed...

  • Mounting a Lacie Drive on Login for all users?

    Here's the situation: I want to make my Mac users single sign-on to my Active Directory server (2003 Server). This part is easy and works great- users get their home directory mounted and of course have to authenticate against the AD server to logon on. What I can't have is them saving their huge multimedia files to our server- it doesn't have the HDD space!
    Summary: I want users who authenticate to an AD server to be able to save small files to their home directories but larger files to the Lacie drive attached to a G5 tower. What would be the best way to do this?
    Thanks a million!

    Hi Paul,
    I would, as an admin user, create one folder for each of your users on the LaCie drive and make each of them owner of his own folder (I guess this can be obtained from the "Get Info" window or the Unix way).
    You still have to check that the FW drive mounts for all user sessions but I don't see why it wouldn't.

  • Interesting problem for all the DIYers out there

    I'm sure you've all heard about the compact flash upgrade for the iPod mini, where you replace the microdrive with a compact flash card to get more storage/better battery life/better durability. I dropped my mini a bit ago, and broke the microdrive in the process. I figured that I'd try this hack, but instead of using a compact flash card, I decided to use a SD/SDHC to Compact Flash Type II adapter instead, since SDHC cards are even cheaper than Compact flash for similar capacities at the moment. When it was all said and done, I actually wound up spending less on the adapter + 32gb sdhc card than I would have spent on a standalone 16gb compact flash card.
    However, whenever I restore my iPod, as soon as I reconnect it, iTunes tells me that it's corrupted and needs to be restored again. The thing is, the restore seems to be valid- after the restore process is finished, I can use the menu system on the mini perfectly fine. It's basically what it should be, the OS without any songs/media on it. ****, I can even play bricked. Still, the second I plug it back into windows, iTunes recognizes the iPod, fails to display a number in the capacity field, and tells me to restore it. Windows 7 RC1 also tells me that I'll need to format it if I want to use it with the computer. The memory stick is fine, as is the compact flash adapter. I can format the stick with or without the Compact Flash adapter just fine with my printer or PS3 (only two devices I own with a Memory card reader), but after I "restore" my iPod, if I try to just use the stick in either reader, it'll fail (the compact flash adapter becomes required). After restoration, if I view the contents of the compact flash adapter + sdhc, it appears with the volume label of "IPOD" with an empty directory listing. Finally, every time the mini "goes to sleep", it will prompt me to select a language on "wake up", which I guess means that it didn't write that setting to the disk....
    Any ideas? Could someone give me an image of their iPod mini that I could try to use to restore, or the contents of their mini drive (minus the music) in a .zip/.7z/whatever that I could try to work with?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you feel that you have a solution.

  • For all iPad owners with video freezing concerns- read this first!

    First of all, take a deep breath, acknowledge that it is not your fault, and there is nothing you can do with the software to fix it. It is a hardware problem, most likely video chip related, that is ONLY solved with replacement. I have had several discussions with senior tech support who won't say exactly what the cause is, but admit that there is nothing a user can do to fix the problem other than replacement. Which they will happily provide. This is where it gets tricky.
    If you are like me, you can't live a day without your iPad, even though you also have a smart phone, a net book and a laptop....if I can admit it, so can you. So if your local store has a brown box replacement for your model, go in and get it replaced, and you are done. Most of the time, this will fix the issue because they test these ones first. If you are like me and your store does not have a replacement for your wifi only model, then you have to either drop yours off and wait for a replacement to be shipped in 4-5 business days, or purchase apple care where they will hot swap a new iPad with you with overnight to your doorstep. This is the way to go and here is why: you can't be without your iPad and you won't be. AppleCare is $100 that is fully refundable at a pro rated time period. So you have it for 1 week and then cancel it. Cost of use? Should be about $2. And the experience is seamless. This is just my opinion, but it worked for me!

    taffytafftaf,
    Agreed; The problem might very well be a hardware one. After all, these symptoms are very weird. It's undoubtedly a great phone. The main reason I bought it was to have the first decent looking WCDMA phone out there (that works in Europe) and I still quite like it.
    To tell you the truth though, I was going to replace it with a 8GB N91, until I tried one yesterday. It's way too bulky, actually the dimensions seem weird - nothing like my old 8850. The HDD explains everything, but I really don't need another DAP or a pocket drive, so it won't quite do.
    I'll take your advice and take the 6630 to my nearest NSC. Hopefully they'll be able to revive it. If not, I'll replace it with something very small.
    "Good luck"
    Thanks, I'll need it!
    mbamg,
    I think it's a case of "what goes around, comes around". You've obviously taken good care of your phone, whereas I haven't. I definitely should've taken it to a NSC to be updated. These problems, as mentioned above, might also have something to do with the hardware, as the phone has taken some unintended abuse during the years. We'll just have to wait and see.
    The original RS-MMC card was in the phone when it was updated. After that the phone claimed it was faulty. Other cards don't seem to work either. Unfortunately formatting them didn't help.
    I still partially blame the NSU, since these problems didn't surface until the software was supposedly "successfully updated". My 6630 is a bad combo of possibly damaged hardware and new firmware.
    Thanks once again for your input guys, I really appreciate it!

  • Partition problems for OSX upgrade! YIPES!!

    Hello,
    I have an original bondi blue imac with an upgraded 466mhz chip and a 40G harddrive. I have performed all of the tasks required to upgrade to OSX
    I have acquired the system on BLACK Cds (10.3.5)
    I have upgraded my firmware
    I have backed up my files
    I have partitioned the drive with one partition being 8G the other whatever is left.
    and THEN I have inserted the disk 1 into the drive and proceeded.
    but I was returned the message "neither of your partitions is in the first 8G of the drive" so I assumed that I had mistaken the picture and that the top was the end of the drive not the beginning so I repartitioned the drive and now when I puyt the disk 1 in and start again I just get two exclamation marks and cannot click either of them.
    what am I doing wrong?
    It has been such a long journey for me to get to this point I am pretty zen about it but I am getting closer and closer to FLIPPING OUTOUOUTOUTOU!!
    smiles
    and thanks for any help that you can give me!!

    Make the first partition 7.8GB. The operative word is under 8 GB. You should be good-to-go from there.
    It's confusing!

  • HT4527 Hard drive crashed. Saved all my music but my apps are all gone and i cannot seem to get itunes to do a mass redownload of all of them

    Hi,
    Recently my harddrive containing iTunes crashed and while my music was backed up, my apps were not and as a result when I replaced the harddrive, my itunes could not download all the apps i had and told me to get the files from my other library, which is in the frayed hard drive.
    What are my options here? Heard there was a mass redownload option somewhere but I cant find it.

    Hi newmarket,
    Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
    iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
    If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
    Sorry,

    CS3 is a very old Adobe product and is not officially supported. Personally, i don't think CS3 will work on Yosemite and even if it does, by any chance, you will face many compatibility and functional issues like above.

  • Why does not safari allow to keep the zoom level over the whole website? This is universal problem for all ipad browsers.

    This is a big problem on sites like Tomshardware and Sweclockers and probably many more that Safari is not capable of keeping the zoom level the same over all website pages. And it makes the browsing experience on the IPAD an annoyance.
    You have to constantly double tap to see the website clearly for each webpage load. There should be settings to allow to remember the zoom level
    for a whole website. So you don't have to double tap on every new page of the website.
    The other browsers like ICAB and Mercury are not handling this any better and seem to be limited by the webkit rendering options available.
    It's instantly visible on Sweclockers and it becomes a problem on tomshardware when you click on a review link.
    I have included pictures here that showcase the problem.

  • Lots of frustrating problems for novice nano owner...any help out there?

    Have had my nano a week and had problems as soon as i tried to move songs onto it! It would only work if i did it manually song by song, any other way the whole screen would freeze and i had to disconnect the ipod. This morning i plugged it in and i get several ominous grey boxes saying 'The file or directory\ipod_control\itunes\itunesDB is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chk dsk utility' Now all my songs have disappeared from the ipod and i can't get any more on...they appear in the ipod contents but not on the actual ipod.
    Am i being really dumb? Have i missed something obvious?? Please help!

    Pretty much the ipod is going to need to be repair. I would suggest taking it into the nearest Apple Store because they give you a 10% discount for older ipods towards a new ipod.
