Thinkpad X220t and Minidock plus series 3 - doesn't fit

I can't get my laptop to mate with this docking station. The sliding arm on the dock that adjusts where you line up the laptop hits the laptop. THe site says these 2 devices are compatable but it doesn't seem that this is actually true. Am I missing something?

Hi spasheridan and welcome to the Community,
Which site are you looking at that says it's compatible?
According to this, only the x220 is supported, not the tablet. The Ultrabase 3 is supported for the x220 tablet.

'Pantone Black' (color bridge uncoated / plus series) doesn't 'look on screen' as black at all.

I'm working in Adobe Illustrator CC on a mac.
'Pantone Black' (color bridge uncouted / plus series) doesn't 'look on screen' as black at all. A '100%K' black (cmyk) look perfectly black. The Pantone solid black appears nothing like a 'black' at all on screen. Is there a setting that makes the colors 'look' more like the end result?
Also is there a reason, a lot of the colors in the 'Color Bridge Uncoated - Plus Series' doesn't come up in the Adobe Illustrator 'Color Bridge Uncoated' pallette?
Can anybody help me out?

What does the Pantone Black Uncoated Plus Series look like? I mean, on your screen? Is it brownish? Not sure why Pantone Bridge does not show in Illustrator Bridge. The entire color communications system(s) seemed to be a bit messed up. There seems to be a drift on screen when looking at Pantone anything these days.

USB Ports Dead after undock and redock W510 in Minidock Plus Series 3

Hi,
just personalized a new W510 (Win XP 32) for a user and installed it on his desk. Everything worked fine except for one thing.
I start the NB in the Docking Station with an external keyboard and mouse (original IBM/Lenovo) attached.
Works fine.
Then I undock the Notebook (there is no button or menu entry for undocking, it's just press the button to eject the NB).
Notebook still works fine.
Now I put the NB back into the dock. External LCD shows regular desktop, but external keyboard and mouse doesn't work any more. The mouse doesn't even have power (no light).
I checked every USB Port --> Dead.
If I plug the mouse or keyboard into the usb port of the NB they get power, but don't work.
If I reboot the NB, everything is fine again.
Do I have to install some special plug ins to allow undocking nd "redocking"?
Thanks
Regards
Mith

I have this problem with my W520, with the keyboard only (the mouse works fine). I can't do anything with any external keyboard after undocking+redocking until I reboot the machine entirely.
I updated the BIOS and the Intel chipset driver as per the suggestion here and this had no effect.
I explained in more detail in this thread here: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T500-keyboard-locks-when-docking-or-undocki...
I hope someone can shed some light on this, because it's totally shattering my productivity

Driver Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series doesn't work with a specific Kingston USB

Hello guys, just the other problem I'm facing with the 840 G2
I'm working in the MDT image for the HP 840 G2 and I would like to comment you one problem that I found with the USB 3.0 drivers. Based in your webpage, the last HP USB 3.0 official drivers are:
Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series Products
3.0.1.41 A from 15 dic 2014
I have found that those drivers doesn't work properly; if you insert a Kingston DTSE9 (32GB) the content of the usb will not be accessible randomly. The event viewer will display:
The driver detected a controller error on \device\harddisk1\DR13
To solve this problem you have to obtain the last version of the drivers from the Intel webpage:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Control...
I have all the drivers properly installed and it seems that the computer is working fine, however I'm a little worry thinking if I should update all the driver to avoid possible problem like this one.
If you have found similar problems it would be nice to share it.
Thank you very much.

Radeon 5870 and 2008 Mac Pro (3,1) - Doesn't fit?

I'm sorry for what I'm sure is an obvious question, but I just received my new ATI 5870 upgrade kit from Apple and the darn thing doesn't fit inside my Mac Pro. The instructions reference a "PCI Slider" button which is meant to free up room to install the card, then slide back afterwards, but there is no such button on my 2008 system. I'm guessing it was added for the 2009 model and later.
I'm confident, because of all the positive reports, that there's a way to make this fit and work. I just don't know what the trick is. I can't find instructions anywhere. Does someone know? Please?
Thanks!

This video shows the "trick" for the 2009 models. This site does not show the 2008 model, but may be similar:

VESA adapter for 24" Aluminum iMac, doesn't fit

I just got my VESA adapter for my new 24” iMac and the mount adapter doesn’t fit onto the flange. I got the flange to attach to the iMac fine but the bolt holes on the flange don’t line up with the mount adapter they are off my about 1/4”. Did I miss a step or do I have the wrong part?
The model number listed on the mount adapter itself is A1225. The part number listed on the box is MB060G/A - iMac 24-inch VESA Mount Adapter.

Macbook topcase doesn't fit well into macbook.

I just recently installed a new topcase on my MacBook 2.0ghz and I noticed around the edges that there are small openings. like little cracks were I can almost peer into the computer. Why is that? is there something I need to do?

You probably bent the case when replacing the top case, and so now it doesn't fit as seamlessly as it should.
Good news is that it's purely cosmetic and shouldn't affect the running of your system. So just do your best to ignore it.

Thinkpad W520 with Minidock+ Series 3 - Dual monitors and USB fail sporadically

Hello there,
I wonder if anyone has experienced problems ThinkPad W520 and Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (Part number: 433830U)? I run into problems with dual monitor and USB devices.
For dual monitor setup, sometimes only a single monitor is detected, sometimes no monitors are available in the NVidia control panel. Rigorous display detection doesn't help. Disabling Optimus in BIOS doesn't seem to affect it. After I dock and undock couple of times, reboot, unplug the power cord, it seems to resolve and both monitors work fine.
Also, I run into troubles with USB devices (keyboard/mouse). Sometimes they are not detected at all, but if I plug them into different USB ports on the mini dock, they are detected and work fine.
For me this problem happens about 50% of the time when I dock... Any ideas, insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Could it be a faulty Thinkpad, docking station or may be both? I really to upgrade next time to W530, but I've been through so many problems with W520, so I don't know if it's a good idea...
Thanks so much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If system update isn't finding anything, and the system works just fine on its own, it could potentially be a faulty Dock.
It could be overloaded. Could you try testing the dock using just one monitor, and no keyboard or mouse, to see if you run into the same issue. It would still be a faulty dock, but it may be a potential workaround for the time being.

Dock Plus Series 3, Mic doesn`t work

As I use Skype a lot, I bought Dock Plus Series 3 to solve the issue with mic jack at Lenovo`s stupid engeneeres "designed" for t420s model. No one profesional pmanufacture produces mic for this kind of jack, and it is always Pain in the Ass to connect external mic to the machine.
Dock Plus Series 3 has normal, industry standard mic jack. I hope it will soleve the issue. But it is not! No one mic doesn`t work if i plug it Dock Plus Series 3. Please advice, how to make it works!
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE !

Hey Baramburum,
I could not find any drivers for your docking station, what I can suggest is that you update your audio drives from the link below and you update your BIOS. If you do the update please remove the old drivers first completely and then install the new ones.

ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 UK / Italy difference?

Hi,
I'm interested in the new T520.
I'm in Germany and the german shop offers 2 versions of the ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (UK or Italy)
Whats the difference between the UK and the Italy Version ? Both countrys have other power-plugs than we have in Germany. So which one is right for me?
The description fir the Moni Dock Plus says: "Multiple video ports: 1 VGA monitor, 2 DVI, 2 DisplayPort (Note that the video controller allows for any two video ports to be used simultaneously)"
Is that 2 ports in adition to the ThinkPad's display? Can I use 3 Screens (Thinkpad + 2 at the dock) or only 2 (any configuration).
Thanks
Tino

I think the difference would be in the power adapter plug type, but each should be compatible with your machine.
The series 3 plus dock came in 3 flavours in general:
1. 90 w adapter type
2. 135 w adapter type (for the W510 machine and also compatible with machines used on the 90 w type).
3. 170 w adapter type (for the W520 and compatible with the 135 watt and 90 watt adapter type machines).
You can support 4 screens if your T520 came with Nvidia Optimus technology, in that case you can use the 1 vga, any 2 of the DVI/Displayport, and one internal LCD (or displayport on the laptop).
If you get the intel version, then you only support 2 external LCD, or one external LCD with one internal LCD.

Maximum Multiple Monitors with ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 - 170W (4338-30U)

Bit of a multi display novice, with a question:
What is the maximum number of external displays that can be utilized with the ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 - 170W. As I understand it, you can baseline connect three external displays without adapters, so with the laptop that is three monitors (1+3).
Then say you start getting creative and start using adapters, can you go up to five or six external displays? Are there performance issues? Does the computer have trouble recognizing displays, etc.? Would it benefit from a screen management program like UltraMon?
This is for simple excel jockeying, and business productivity, (for instance I would want to have a display for each instance of Excel 1, Excel 2, Excel 3, Word, Outlook, PDF), and would use the NVidia Optimus Card for the displays.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Depending on which ThinkPad you got, you can get 3 screens up and working (the W530 i tested could drive 4 external + 1 internal without using things like DP splitter or USB display adapter).

Incompatibility between Diamond Plus and EVGA 7900GT series?

Hello again!
I began to wonder if there might be a problem with my video card. I am almost sure that MSI with nForce4 doesn't make a good team with EVGA 7900 GT CO SC.
I know that the SuperClocked model has problems (mine has also), but the problem is this one: my 3dmark06 scores are in the 3800..4700 range. It's just random. I always ran the tests in the same conditions (stopped antivirus, etc. and all other background/real time processes that could be stopped).
I saying that this is an incompatibility because I know another person that has a MSI nForce4 board (not my model) and a SuperClocked EVGA 7900GT and he experiences the same problems.
I'm sure that this is not an OS/drivers related problems. I carefully installed all "things".
If you have any sugestions please shoot...
I guess I should be thinking about changing my video card, because I like too much the mobo.
The guy that helped me OC my rig, measured the Vcore and it was exactly 1,399 V. And it stayed that way. The multimeter was a brand one, so I trust his measurements. He told me that this is the most stable Vcore that he has seen in his life. Even DFI doesn't have such a stable Vcore. And he also compared the measurements with the BIOS settings, and he said that the mobo is over-volting. For having a 1,4 measured Vcore, I had to se 1,35V in BIOS.
If you had seen this problems before, please input here.
As you already know, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Yes, I tried to run the tests without OC and the results remained unchanged for the shaders.
I'm 90% sure that this is an incompatibility issue because I had tried today my video card in two other computers and it ran smoothly. It even supported 568/1840 (550/1580 are the stock freqs, as you already know). Those computers were having Asus A8NE and DFI Ultra-D mobos.
Sooo... this is an incompatibility between MSI with nForce4 and EVGA 7900 series.
I generalize because I know another guy with another mobo from MSI with nForce4 SLI (the simple SLI, not X16 like Diamond Plus) which preferred to change his EVGA video card with a Leadtek.
Don't believe me? No problem, it's your money and your time.
But... If you want no headackes, don't mix MSI with nForce4 and EVGA 7900 series.
Btw, the guy with the DFI board that I was writing about earlier, was the technician that is working at the store from where I bought the EVGA.
Boy... poor little man... you should have seen his face when I told him about the problems with the video card... When no problems were found after testing it, you should have seen my face... Boy... I was so ashamed...
All in all, it would be a great thing if MSI would launch more often BIOSes for their/our mobos... Preferably stable BIOSes, where you don't see things "dissapearing". I paid 240$ for this mobo in my country...
Bas, don't get me wrong. I love this mobo and I would not change it for anything else, but I feel that it's true potential is not fully used; like a car equiped with a powerfull engine, but because of a poor designed ECU, it doesn't put all its horses on the ground.
I repeat, I am not arguing with any one, I had just written my wishes.
Cheers!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
Yes
5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
Yes
Loseless editing - web galleries - events
a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
yes
8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
yes
9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose
