T61 with Win 7 RTM won't sleep on AC power, will sleep on battery power
Wanted to start a new thread on this since the previous similar thread discusses the Win 7 beta and other issues while I and at least one other person have this same problem with Win 7 RTM.
My T61 (8891-CTO) will not go to sleep / suspend when plugged in on AC power running Win 7 RTM and current Win 7 Beta Drivers. It will Hibernate on AC power. It will sleep / suspend fine when on battery power.
When on AC power, the screen will dim when I try to get it to sleep but it will never actually suspend. Moving the mouse turns the display back on and gives the Windows login screen.
Since everything else is working fine and sleep works on battery power but not AC, I have to assume this is a driver issue.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
Solved!

I figured out what was causing the problem on my system, so maybe this will help someone else.
The Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service was preventing my T61 from sleeping. I stopped and disabled this service. Sleep is working great now.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.
When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

T61 with Vista Ultimate WON'T replicate CD/DVD like R61 with XP Professional - - - HOW DO I DO THIS?
Tried to copy a CD on new T61 with Vista Ultimate preloaded. Did this with no problems on an R61 with XP Professional. The HELP files say to copy all data to a directory and then copy them to a blank CD. This is NOT what I want or need. It also mentions that OTHER software to do this may be obtainable. I KNOW that Lenove uses ROXIO in its CMD line interface as a brand new system gave me the BSOD when inserting a video DVD and Windows Media Player coughed and died. Took about 3 hours to return to factory settings on a machine I had just customized. Is this another "feature" from Microsoft or what? Can you load ROXIO or other software to DUPLICATE CDs and DVDs. Have the dual layed DVD/CD RW slim ultrabay drive. Who makes this drive anyway?
HL = Hitachi LG and Panasonic are the two that i know of.

Bootcamp with Win' 8 won't start after Yosemite
After installing bootcamp I had to upgrade my windows partition, it worked until I upgraded to Yosemite.
After upgrading and rebooting and clicking alt the windows option didn't even appear.
I tried a couple of tips in the communitie threads and managed to get windows to appear as an option on reboot however I get the message
"missing operating system".
Following Loner T's suggestions I get these results:

IBook G3 800 GHz will work on battery power but will not turn on with AC pl
This iBook will function with a battery, but when the AC is plugged in it does nothing. It will not turn on. Is this a logic board problem or maybe a short or something not connected inside for the AC plug?
It's a rather complicated repair:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/iBook-G3-12-Inch-DC-In-Board/134/1
Apple doesn't consider it a do-it-yourself job.
Expect to pay $115-$145 for the repair (plus shipping if you have to send it away). The iBook may not be worth the repair, so some people are trying to do it themselves. -
Thinkpad Yoga - Clean install with Win 8.1 disc and embedded product key
Hello everyone,
I purchased a Thinkpad Yoga that comes along with Win 8.1 and embedded product key.
Will it be possible to plug-in an external drive and install Win 8.1 from a Win 8.1-disc? BUT I don’t want to use the key that comes with the disc, but the key embedded in the bios.
This is my girlfriends Windows 8.1 disc and license. Nevertheless I could use it for the clean install.
But I'm not sure, if the original key from my Yoga will work then.
Thanks
HutsonI guy on Youtube made a rough tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI8AnNBIlLQ
Englisch subtitles available
In the comments he suggests, to download the Iso with anouther win-8.1-key - no matter which one - and to install the system clean. In his opinion the system will get the key from the hardware. He is writing, that there is just a universal iso. So it's no problem to download an iso with another key, even if your system is a Home-Edition and you download it with a Pro-Key.
I will try this.

I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes. It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing. Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app. I also tried syncing wirelessly. Also unsuccessful. I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed. Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

okay not sure how this works so here i go again.
Okay i bought a dell pc with windows 8 (big mistake) i downloaded itunes and from my external hard drive, right clicked a movie file (in ipad format, because this worked in vista on my old laptop) and it will not go into itunes. And itunes keeps crashing. Is there a glitch with win 8 and itunes ? I never had this prob with vista. I would right click a file and say open with itunes and poof it goes in the library. Please help before i throw this thing out the window! OH newest itunes is what i have installed.Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit. Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off. For about $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics. As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation. I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

Problem with Wine, NVidia and fullscreen games
Hi,
I'm writing about a problem i recently noticed with wine, nvidia gpu and fullscreen 2d games.Basically the problem is as follows - i am running arch with the latest kernel and nvidia drivers on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M. I have a problem with old 2d games like Red Alert 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo 2, Heroes 3. All of these games do not support the native 1440x900 resolution of my screen and all of them work fine in window mode but crash if fullscreen is selected. I managed to get some of them working by making them work at higher resolutions. For example although Red Alert 2 does not support 1440x900, it can be easily made to work at that resolution and after i applied the necessary settings it worked. The same was with Heroes 3 - by default it does not support 1440x900 and it used to work only i window mode but there is a HD mod which allows it to run in higher resolutions and after i applied it it worked perfectly in fullscreen. I haven't thested Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but i think it will work there too.
The problem is that i cannot use this approach to all games - for example i must run Diablo 2 and Starcraft in their original resolutions. I read somewhere that the problem is that wine can only change between the resolutions described in the xorg.conf file and if doesn't find the necessary resolution the game will crash or will only take the portion of the screen that is its resolution - for example when i play Starcraft rather than stretching it to the whole screen it simply takes 640x480 pixels of my screen and the game is displayed in the top left corner of the screen leaving everything else black.
I didn't have this problem before - it is something new though i'm not sure since when do i have the problem because i rarely play games. As for the idea that the problem may be related to the resolutions defined in the Xorg.conf file, my xorg.conf is automatically generated by the nvidia installer and there are no resolutions defined there.brebs wrote:
Try nvidia 304.48
I remember that issue, with the 302 series.
I have Nvidia 304.48 installed and the problem still exists (it also happens with Catalyst). This didn't occur with 295.59 using the same version of Wine.

Can't open camera RAW image in CS4/Bridge with Win 8.1. Worked fine with XP
I upgraded from Win XP to 8.1 and got a new computer in the process. I'm using CS4, and I think that works okay, except it does not recognize a RAW file. Bridge won't open thumbnails for RAW files, and if I try to open one it doesn't open it in Bridge; it goes straight to CS4 and that says it's 'not the right kind of document'. It doesn't matter if the file is on the hard drive or on a Canon card in a reader. Bridge will display thumbnails for JPG files and open them in CS4. It will not show the thumbnails for TIF files, but it will open them in CS4. How do I fix this?
I did all that, in the order you recommended. I downloaded, expanded and installed all three updates. I then checked the start page for CS4 and it is at 11.0.2. I also rebooted, but Bridge still won't display thumbnails of RAW files, will not open a RAW file in Bridge but sends it to CS4 which still says it is not the right kind of document. If I try to open a RAW file in CS4 directly, I do get thumbnails, but it won't open the file. On a more positive note, I called a friend who also has CS4 and who also recently bought a new computer. However, his is a laptop with Win 8 Professional. He had not tried to use Photoshop since he got the new laptop, and he discovered that he had the very same problem. However, downloading the updates fixed him right up. My new machine is a desktop with Win 8.1. What do I do now?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.
I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think. -
Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?
Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?
Hi X,
I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
the terminal app in response to above line reads;
