Think Vantage tile, not, and other observatio​ns

I find it highly amusing that I cannot create a Think Vantage Tools tile. TninkVantage is launched using explorer.exe using a switch and when the tile is created it it is a link to Explorer, not ThinkVantage. It ignores the switch.
I also tried to create two Internet explorer tiles, one normal and one with add ons turned off. But simple tap is treating the executable too simply and just launches iexplore, ignoring the switch to shut off add ons.  
Also, the names applied to the user created tiles are the program names. That's pretty NON user friendly and there doesn't seem to be any way to change the name? Internally there must be a way to set the name of the tile because the preexisting tiles are all nicely labeled. But the poor user is left with cryptic file names. Is there a magic way to fix this?

I figured out the name thing. Right clicking on the tile allows some configuration choices and makes the label editable. It wasn't that noticeable but I finally saw it.
I also used the method of adding folder tiles by choosing Open a Web Page, pasting the folder path in, and changing HTTP to FILE. I also assigned an appropriate image to be used for the tile. My personal folder has a picture of "me". It works great and it's only slightly messy to set up. After the tile is created I edit the label and I'm done.
I have a programs, folders and data files, and system management workspace. If this continues to work well I will be using Simple Tap a lot. I have removed 2/3 of the stuff that cluttered my desktop before and moved it to simple tap. I only have 3 programs pinned to my task bar and I may remove one more of them. Now my desktop is clean until I want something. Then I launch simple tap and call it up. I also have a bunch of stuff pinned to my start menu that I may clear off as well. It's all in Simple Tap.
The only thing simple tap is not useful for is showing recently used docs. For that I go to the start menu.

  • Can I access my notes and other things without having to use my Ipod touch/

  • Notes and other fields don't show up in Contacts on my iPod Classic 160GB

    I don't know if this is just a bug or if I missed a new option somewhere to hide/show Notes and other fields in Contacts, but they don't show up at all. This problem is specific to the new 160GB iPod I bought today. Notes show up fine on my 4GB Nano (2G) and old 3G iPod.
    I would at least like confirmation from some other people that the Notes field is not showing up in your contacts.
    I just ran through a few other contacts and it appears this is a more serious sync problem. There is a field listed in my Address Book as "work" that is showing up as "home" on the 160. The field is identified correctly on my nano. I also noticed that the field for the iChat id is completely missing from all the iPods.
    This is a pretty serious bug for anyone that uses their iPods for Contacts. Since someone is bound to ask, yes I did try resetting the iPod. I even went as far as completely restoring it from both Windows and the Mac, but always saw the same problem, so I went back to my default Mac setup.

    I did another restore and let iTunes move my whole library over before going back to the summary and syncing contacts, but I got the same result. No notes on any contacts and various contact fields that are named incorrectly compared to the Address Book originals.
    I would appreciate confirmation of this bug or people with 80/160 classics identifying that notes due show up in their contacts so that I can post an accurate description to the bug report form.
    Thanks!

  • Wiped my hard drive worried about my notes and other app data

    Because of a bad DD command I wiped my hard drive unexpectedly. I am not to worried about my music witch I had backed up but I am worried about the notes, and data in some of the applications on my touch. When I reinstall Windows and Sync will I be able to do something about that?

    I believe you are out of luck. Applications can be downloaded again but the data is likely going to be toast. Try googling iPod to PC and see if any of the programs meant to copy content can also handle notes and app data.

  • HELP - I've lost all my Calendar data, most of my Notes, and other issues

    In priority order:
    1.  Sometime in the last two days my iPhone 4S, with IOS 7.0.4, lost all my Calendar data except birthdays from Contacts.
    2.  Most of my Notes are lost except those from PC.
         WRT the above, iPad data is still intact.  
    3.  IOS 7.0.4 crashes apps A LOT! Even Apple apps.
    4.  IOS 7.0.4 is slow.

    Resolved items 1 & 2 by rebooting the phone.  I am happy that it resolved, but it shouldn't have happened n the first place.

  • Removing access to email and other information

    A family member gave their phone away to a friend and (mistakenly) thought that deleting all of the information on the phone one by one (as opposed to doing the restore) would be sufficient. I think access to email and other information might still be present on the phone. Is there a way to disable access to the email account and other information remotely somehow?

    Change the password for the email account, which will prevent the friend from downloading any new messages received at the incoming mail server for the account.
    Without the passcode lock feature enabled, there is no way to prevent someone from accessing any data that is available on the iPhone.
    Restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone is one option. The iPhone also includes an erase all contents and settings option, which is a secure erase.

    Hi,
    please cehck following manual for CSS:
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thi​nkvantage_en/css83dg_en.pdf
    Note, the double quotes should stay in the command.
    In case you want to ge the installation files, do following:
    - go to start->Run-> type %temp%   <also with the "%">
    - clear all files and folders
    - start the installation of CSS
    -> this will place multiple files and folder into the %temp% folder which will give you the installation files, that you need
    - try to install CSS using the command, that I described earlier and above.
    Cheers

  • Two iPhones with one email account, notes and alerts from separate users show up on each others phones

    My husband and I have always shared a personal email account. We got iPhones a year ago and each set them up to view our shared email. He also has a separate email account for work. Unfortunately, when either of us takes a "note" on the notepad or sets an alert on the calendar, it shows up on the other person's phone. I assume these aps use the email to sync?  Is there a way to manage this so that we can share email but not the other stuff?  We set up separate iCloud accounts with separate apple ID's thinking that would do it but it didn't change anything.

    goto settings>mail,contacts,calenders>accounts and under your shared email account disable notes and calender.
    hope this helps

  • Have storage optimised with Photo Library but need more space - How do I delete photos just off my MacBook Pro and not from other devices and icloud

    Hiya,
    I moved a 40GB file off my MacBook Pro to make room so that I could enable the iCloud Photo Library. I optimised the storage but during this process it used 10GB of space and so I cant now put back the file I took off my mac. I though that once I had optimised the storage I would gain space not loose it!. So i'm wondering how can I delete photos off my MacBook and not off all my devices and so I can get this 40 GB file back on ??
    Cheers

    Hi, that's how it works. photos in Photo Stream are these ones that actually exist on your Camera Roll. Photo Stream is an iClous service that helps you to share photos. Just think about Dropbox or any other cloud services, isn't it that you delete a file on your computer, then found the file no longer exist on your other devices?
    If you want to keep the photos while making them occupy less space, I suggest you try SafeEraser's Photo Compressor feature. It compress the photos and make it easy for you to keep them on your iPhone without losing much quality.

  • I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5

    I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

    You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
    What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

  • HT203163 I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; as secure link to itunes store failed. I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works.....

    I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works......
    Please help.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?

  • Some of my photos from my iPhone are sinking to my iPad and others are not. I can't work out why this is the case.  Everything seems to be set up correctly.

    Having had an iPhone for some time, I recently purchased an iPad.  Everthing has been set up correctly in terms of iCloud, this was checked by Apple today, the set up in iTunes relating to photos says sync all, again I think this is correct.
    However, some photos from my iPhone taken before I purchased the iPad are sinking to the iPad and others are not.  I have no idea why and would be really greatful for any insights on this matter.
    Furthermore, I have since deleted some photos from my iPhone but these still appear on my iPad and I am unable to delete them.
    Thanks for your help! It's driving me nuts!

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync
