Thinkpad T410s - Is the 32-bit a wrong choice for me?

Hi everyone,
I have ordered T410s (2901CTO) with 4GB (2DIMM) and 32-bit Win7. My current concern is about running SAS (Statistical Analysis System) - a statistical and data management software application - that I use to process huge data sets (at least 5GB each). Is the choice of 32-bit a bad choice, because I will not be able to take full advantage of memory upgrades if I want later on.
Say if I buy 8GB for the memory upgrades, then it's only a waster of $$$ as the 32-bit system can only see it but cannot access it. Is that really the case? What is the solution for me now besides returning it and placing a new order for the 64-bit?
Another question is, How can I determine the year/month of release for this model T410s 2901CTO? I've been trying to find it out on the net and I still haven't been able to find any information.
Thanks so much for helping!

Hi pantera,
You can order 64-bit version from lenovo without returning your system:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74752
T410s was introduced in the beginning of 2010, if you're looking for the manufacturing date of your system then you can find it on the back sticker, it reads in this format Year/Month (e.g. 09/12).
Hope this helps.

HT204406 Please help! I have downloaded the 64 bit version of iTunes for my Sony running WIndows 8. I have iTunes running on 3 other machines (MACs) with no issue. On the Sony with WIndowns everytime I turn on ITunes Match WIndows fails, everything shu

I Have downloaded the 64 bit version of iTunes for my Sony running Windows 8. Install went fine and I can get in to iTunes and see the music residing on this machine. However, everytime that I try to run iTunes Match Windows crashes. So frustrating. BTW, this worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know what's going on?

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

Call of the method START_ROUTINE of the class LCL_TRANSFORM failed; wrong type for parameter SOURCE_PACKAGE

Hi,
My DTP load failed due to following error.
Call of the method START_ROUTINE of the class LCL_TRANSFORM failed; wrong type for parameter SOURCE_PACKAGE
I don't think anything wrong with the following code as data loads successfully every day. Can any one check? What could be the issue?
METHOD start_routine.

     FIELD-SYMBOLS:
       <SOURCE_FIELDS>    TYPE _ty_s_SC_1.

     SORT tb_lookup BY comp_code material.
*$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         *-*
   ENDMETHOD.

Hi,
Compare the data types of the fields in your table tb_lookup with the data types in your datasource. Most probably there is an inconsistency with that. One thing that I realize is that
I use the select statement in the format select ... from ... into... Maybe you need to change places of that, but I am not sure. You may put a break point and debug it with simulation.
Hope it gives an idea.

Do I want to buy the 64 Bit Windows XP Pro for my MacBook Pro?

I want to buy Windows XP Pro to run with Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro. Do I need the regular XP or the 64 Bit version?

Windows XP SP2 is the second service pack for Windows XP. This cd can't be purchased as it is provided free by Microsoft. You may get some from Microsoft assuming you pay for shipping and handling. XP w/ SP2 != XP SP2. Of course you can buy Windows with SP2, but you can't buy the Windows XP SP2, which is the service pack for Windows. I regret to inform you that I actually DO know what I am talking about, I have several certifications from Microsoft, including a MCSA, and have been administrating Windows based serves and clients for several years. I'm glad everyone else has theirs though, as well as their HS diploma.

How do I download the 64-Bit version of iTunes for Windows 7?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 O.S. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to the computer, but when I try to install it, I am getting a message telling me I need the 64-Bit version, but I have downloaded the 32-Bit version.
I have tried to find the 64-bit version but am having no luck finding it. Can someone please point me in the right direction with a link to the 64-Bit version. Thank you very much.

Head to the downloads page, Joie:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Down at the bottom left (scroll down if necessary?), you should see:
64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
... click the *64-bit installer* text to go to a downloads page for the latest version of the 64-bit installer.

Every time I connect my iPod/iPhone to itunes it say it will not connect because I need the 64 bit version of iTunes for Windows. But I do...

I have reinstalled iTunes over 20 times at this point. I've also tried standalone installers for the mobile support. NONE of it is working. This computer is brand new and should have no issues with functionality towards iTunes. This makes absolutely no sense. Please help. I do have the 64 bit version for Windows currently installed.

Same problem.

After downloading and installing the 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows I get a "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone to synch it I get a message that says that I don't the 64-bit version??

After downloading the 64-bit version of iTunes on my Windows 7 machine I get the "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone I get an error message that says, in part, "...the required software is not installed. Run the installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". I've been at this for hours, carefully deleting all Apple software (Apple Mobile Support, Quicktime, etc. and before each attempt to install the 64-bit version from Apple ( no third parties). Same result each time!!! Any ideas????

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

I have a 64 bit system running Win 7, but the installation does not recognise the 64 bit download as suitable for 64 bit system.

I am trying to install Itunes on my new Laptop and it is a 64 bit system. I have downloaded the 64 bit Itunes and when I try to install it, the error is that the program is not suitable for 64 bit system.
The same happens for 32 bit download of Itunes.

I have this problem also. I have not had trouble installing any previous version of iTunes. I am mystified why now it is a problem.
Here is the error I get:

Link to 64 bit of Nightly http://nightly.mozilla.org/
edit: Fixed linked it was linking to the tinderbox hourly builds (multiple builds a day) which can be much more unstable if the build did not build properly (due to checkins and trying stuff) and yet may still be green and uploaded. Use the /firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ not tinderbox if you must.
Also note the unstable Nightly builds get updates each day (sometimes a respin even) and are not meant for regular Firefox users in mind but devs and testers who at very least understand the basics of separate installs and separate Profiles for each.

6d wrong choice for portrait work?

Ok guys,
I was debating for quite some time whether to by the 6d or the 70d. Then I debated the 6d vs 5dIII. I went with the 6d based on many reviews, opinins and some great help on this forum. I haven't really had the chance to put it through it's paces yet. I really hate reading manuals, so I bought this short Creative Live class the John Greengo held on the 6d. He was saying that hardly anyone would use this camera in the studio since you have to run it at 1/100 to get a decent sync speed. This makes me nauseous. This was the main reason I bought this camera was for studio portraits. Does anyone have any encouraging words to make me feel like I made the wrong choice? I definitgely want a full frame, so if this isn't the one, I would have to spend twice as much on the 5dIII.

I should add... once upon a time nearly every camera that I worked with for studio photography... had a flash sync speed of 1/60th, there was no such thing as "high speed sync", and this really was no problem at all. It's not like we felt we needed to overcome a weakness in the camera to do studio shooting.
As Skirball points out, I do not think you'll have any trouble at all at 1/160th.

Wrong choice for a monitor?

Hi... just bought a samsung lcd tv monitor to hook up to my macbook pro, but I can't get good resolution for graphic design. selected highest res possible in s system preferences, but still sucky. Is it not a good choice for a graphics monitor?

TV monitors are usually never good for graphic design because they are designed to be viewed from across the room where the pixels merge when being viewed for a distance. So they tend to have bigger pixels and spaced more apart than computer monitors.
Up close requires a higher pixel count per sq inch. So a 17" MacBook Pro has a like 1080i screen up close within a couple of feet as a 50" HD TV has the same at 20 feet.
Since TV content is max at 1080i for 1980 x 1000 pixel count, there is no need to make it bigger for up close and computer use.
Graphic monitors of that larger caliper have something like 3000 x 2000 pixel resolution at 30 and 40" sizes to get the fine detail and less blurry type and images.
If your looking for a larger screen for graphic design, I don't recommend Apple's glossy screens at all, look for a professional anti-glare high res models online.
Apple has been slowly exiting certain markets that depended upon it's hardware in favor of serving only the consumer markets for gizmos.
I fully expect the MacPro to go the way of the XServer in the coming years as demand slacks off for their "Pro" products.
Apple is already introducing only integrated graphics in their "Pro" line of laptops and ineffective for serious professional use glossy displays.

but why is it bad to record internally today
I didn't say it was "bad" as such, I said I'd only do it when necessary (and I do) but I'd generally still record to external drives where possible.
imagine you're having a 500 GB internally you can still back up on a other drive after.
is there any consequence about that kind of configuration?
The thing is, the internal drive is the system drive, so it has all kinds of drive activity going on in addition to audio - swap file reading and writing, loading apps, utilities, logging functions and many more.
i heard about the lifetime too but more from some experience from 2009 but i don't know what
happen with the new model if they upgrade their ssd in anyway?
Time will tell I guess, these technologies are new and unproven over enough time yet.

What are the best external backup battery choices for the iPod Touch 4G?

Hello,
I am so disappointed with the battery life on my iPod Touch 4G, even when I turn off location services and notifications and put it in airplane mode.
As such, I realize that I am going to have to get an external backup battery, even though I don't like the idea of carrying around yet another item.
What are the best choices out there, especially any ultra-portable (aka small and non-bulky) ones? I came across this Juice Pack Air - iPod Touch 4G Case, which seems like the perfect solution, but it is on back order and seems to have been so for a good amount of time. Who knows when it will be in stock again.
TIA for any and all help!
