T60 - College Issued Laptop - Graduated and Need Help

Here is the situation:
I graduated from my college, who issued me my T60 laptop. When ever I had a problem with the laptop I would bring it to the help desk and they would solve my problem.
I want to re-image my laptop to the way it was when I graduated after they did the "senior checkout" on my laptop. This senior checkout removed all the software that was licensed for the college for student use. It left me with Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2007 along with the other bells and whistles (CD Burner, Outlook, DVD Player). Before I left, I purchased some CD's through the student computing program they had. These CD's are for Windows XP and Office 2007. My brother bought a T60 laptop (not through a college program) and his came with a recovery disk. I was not issued a recovery disk when I graduated.
So how can I re-image my laptop now that I dont have the support from the colleges help desk?
If you think you can help and need more information I will be glad to provide it.
Thanks.

I believe my graphics card is a little better, it may be the same type with more RAM but I have to check. I will post the odel numbers as soon as I can find them. Where are they located on the machine?
A friend of mine who worked at the schools helpdesk suggested that I take my copy of windows XP and reboot with that to do a reimage. The only problem I see with that is that it would install the operating system but then my "thinkvantage" button probably wouldn't work and I would also be concerned about my wireless card.
I will get to those model numbers as soon as possible. Thanks for all your help so far.

I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college. I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA. My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop

I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college. I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA. My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop and my desktop, do i have to wait until I enroll again or do I have to purchase the product again in order to put it on another computer?

Well that does change the story. If you purchased a PC version of CS6, the license is PC only. It can only be installed on a second PC for your own use.
If you buy a Mac, you would either buy another $350 copy of Photoshop Mac, or agree to a swap, that is exchange the PC license for a Mac license, giving up all rights to the PC license.
If you have the disposable income for it, get a $350 Photoshop Extended Mac license as well.

Have an 8800 and need help

Hi,
I have an 8800 and need help. The charger socket doesn't work anymore, the trackball doesn't go horizontal (occassionally) and the screen light turns on and off at random. I've had my Blackberry less than a year.
Before sending it in for repair or replacement I need to back up all my data (apparently it gets cleared when a repair is done) so ordered a cradle and spare battery so I cound charge a batter externally. To compound the problem I keyed in the wrong postcode on the order (it never rains but it pours) but quickly mailed billing to tell them and with the correct PO number.
Needless to say the items haven't arrived so I called and was fobbed off and told that this is a matter for their partner Globalware Solutions even though I paid via the Blackberry.co.uk website
I've scoured the site and found no contact details whatsoever by which I can follow this up properly (Why do large companies do that? Are their customers not important enough to them to allow direct contact?).
Rim/Blackberry/Globalware now have my money and have ignored all my emails. In other words I have no way of finding out the status of the order, what's happening or where my required items are.
On top of that one of the email addresses I mailed to bounced and this site is a nightmare to use. If you're going to want a capital letter and a number of part of a password to access a forum then tell people in advance. If you're not going to let someone buy in Euros from the UK because you don't consider the UK as part of Europe then tell them. Don't let them go through the entire purchase process before letting them get to the Euopean drop down list of countries and then not including the UK in it. I could go on.
Can someone please tell me how I chase up my order (it's only a small one) without wasting too much more time on this.
I have to say that this is all a great shame because I've been happily using Blackberries for years now and think they're superb products. I've been an evangelist for them actively spreading the word about how great they are. I've never needed service or support before though.
If anyone from Blackberry, Rim or Globalware is reading this then you have my order number and just an email would at least begin to resolve this. The delivery of the items paid for would entirely resolve it. I wait for your contact.
One thing you should know if you wish to continue to ignore me though is that I am 'Mr Persistent'.

Thanks. I remember now that is exactly what they said. Which means I need to do it over again.
Here's what happened. I went to my laptop to try restoring since it was my desktop that was giving me the message. I was able to install the newest OS onto my iPhone. Then I reconnected the phone to my desktop, which now gave me a different message. It said it could not sync with this iPhone until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. I was one version behind.
So I updated and then since my iPhone had the newest OS and iTunes had the newest version, everything spoke to each other fine. At that point I got the message asking me to whether I wanted to restore from backup or set up as new.
I thought that restoring from backup would potentially bring back the problem, but discretion being the better part of valor decided to try that first.
Woke up this morning to your message and of course now realize that I must go through the process again, only this time set up as new. And yes I made sure to back everything up before I did any of this.
So now it's just a matter of doing it again, which will have to wait until tonight when I don't need to use my phone.
So thanks for the info!

Need your help I am color blind and need help ASAP

I am color blind and need help with this issue. I have the 8520 and t-mobile service. I went to the accessibility wizard and chose the reverse color mode. That is black background with white font. Here starts the problem when you select this option it changes your photos into negatives and also changes the home screen to bright gray . I can not see these colors. What I need is almost like looking at old DOS font Black backgrounds with white or yellow fonts. I have been trying to find a theme but no luck.
The option of reverse contrast would be great if it did not flip photos or the home screen.
Can someone please help me
I would be happy to talk to you in detail to better explain the problem.
Thanks in advance
TJ
I posted t this message in the wrong area before. I hope this is the correct area.
Mods please remove the message posted in the 8300 series area thanks TJ

Just a follow up on this matter. I spent most of the day and a few hours at work on this problem.
I called T-mobile and was transfered to Blackberry support within T-mobile then to Blackberry RIM . They asked the same questions as everyone else said how much they wanted to help. After about an hour they gave up. They could find no apps or themes that are basic black with white font. The tech could not explain why the designers fell short with reverse contrast . I ask this question why would a programmer or anyone want to see all photos in negative media. I spoke with a local news station about this whole matter and they said give the store one more attempt to make it right. T-mobile said they would sell me another phone at a discount but would not take the Blackberry back because I was out of my7 14 day window. note I have been trying to fix this with T-mobile starting 12/04/09 when I bought the phone. So buyer beware....
Back to the matter. a very simple fix could be done by BLACKBERRY make a theme for the 8520 that is black background white font in all areas. Leave the internet as normal ie: browser let photos look like they should and sell the theme or app like everyone else.
To be honest if I knew how to do it I would build it myself and give it away for free people need this type of theme.
Thanks for reading my rant everyone.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

Bad or incompatible RAM is, more often then not, the cause of most Kernel Panics. It could also just need to be reset.
Here's the most used site for Resolving Kernel Panics. Please do all the steps in order, even if you don't think you need to do a certain step.
Here is a great MacFixIt article.

Yep, i just did it again. The entire scroll-bar widget, complete with formatted text, graphics, etc., pasted itself nicely in another book. Two different files, the same widget.
I use the scroll-bar widgets for most of my texts. (I have audio buttons on the side, and the scripts are within the widget, to the side). My only text is within widgets, and text boxes, naturally.
I am following your recommendation: cleaning files, etc. I am remaking the book anew. I need to convince the EPUB bot or whatever that my file looks and works nicely on all my devices. You would expect an error message when previewing the book: 'Hey Amigo, your file is flawed, stop working on it, and get back to the drawing board." Should be able to try again next Monday.

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

If the iPod was Disabled, place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.

I learn a lot from reading the posts of the likes of you, Erik, Bee Jay, sampleconstruct, noeqplease etc so I hope you guys don't become too dispondent when you see posts like these.
