[Thinkpad Yoga] Just a little bit of baby pee: few keys kaput!
Hi,
The other day our baby peed on my laptop. I don't know whether it was on purpose, he just tells me brrrruu. Now, these keys are not working: Backspace, Left Shift, Esc, Tab, T, Y, [ and ].
I had this before, with just a little bit of water, exactly the same. Then they replaced the keyboard. Unfortunately I cannot send it back for repairment.
What to do? I've heard of trying to clean it with a pressured air can, I'll try to find that one. Any ideas?
Btw, I thought thinkpad keyboards were water proof?
Your baby is quite precocious by so eloquently expressing his opinion about your TP... :-)
As the human urine does contain conductive and corroding salts (more than the sea water), I'd open my TP, take the KB module out and try to wash it with distiled water. Then let it dry and put it back.
This should gently dissolve and remove the potential shortcircuits, w/o the aggressivity of pure alcohol - professionally used for quick repairs in such case. Also the smell will vanish ;-).
Strong opinions are costly, particularly when the point is made with bodily fluids :-)

I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!
Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
You could try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
All the best -
I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if the iphone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.
It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

LMS 4.0 complete multivendor or just a little bit
Hi,
During a powerSession at Cisco, one revealed a little bit about LMS 4.0 (to be released during summer?) One of the new features would be the multivendor support. Does someone know more about this ?
Will it be multivendor for config management ? Will it support and archive Nortel, Juniper also ?
Any comment or info is welcome.
JanWhile groundwork is being layed for multi-vendor, LMS 4.0 will most likely not being doing any kind of MV support beyond what is in LMS 3.2 today.

Compress a video file -- just a little bit..?
I got 3 hours of 16:9 60i XL2 documentary footage that I'm cutting in FCE and then iDVD -- of course this was a bit too much to fit on one standard single layer DVD.
Well, so I've now managed (with quite a bit of effort) to edit down my material to 2 hours and 15 min -- but yet, iDVD complains that I'm a mere 100MB over the limit.
Since I can't trim the footage any further, I tried to compress one of the longer video clips a little in FCE (using its "Quicktime Conversion") but after a few hours(!) of processing, it hangs every time (yes, I have ample computing power and disk space).
I wonder if anyone can give me a pointer or suggestion on how to cram those last minuscule 100Mb onto this DVD before I'm going completely nuts.
Any help appreciated,

iDVD supports dual layer media thus doubling the length of your movie to 4 hours limit (if your mac has a recent superdrive model supporting dual layer DVD blanks as MartinR suggested).
Or what do you think about a two disks project ?
I'm cutting this disk as a master disk for DVD duplication, so a dual layer disk won't do (my "clients" would kill me). And no, they will also smack me for making this a double-disk project -- it's a continues theater play that they want on one disk. Rats.

Just A Little Bit of Help Needed...
Hi.
My movie was edited in Final Cut Express 4. It's a web movie that will also be repurposed for DVD. I'll also have it duplicated at DiscMakers. In FCE, I applied a deinterlace filter. I make sure it's deinterlaced when it's exported so it plays great on YouTube and Facebook.
Now that I'm ready to burn this to a DVD using iDVD, I have a few questions.
1. Do I remove the deinterlace filter from FCE and send the interlaced footage right to iDVD by using export QuickTime movie?
2. Can I apply copy protection to this project in iDVD?
3. If iDVD doesn't allow for it, can it be applied at a place like DiscMakers from my provided DVD?
4. Can I sell my DVD that I produced with iDVD and not have to worry about copyright issues with apple templates?
Thanks so much.
ScottLots of interesting questions.
+1. Do I remove the deinterlace filter from FCE and send the interlaced footage right to iDVD by using export QuickTime movie?+
Doesn't seem like you'd need to, but I'd make a small project and test it both ways.
+2. Can I apply copy protection to this project in iDVD?+
No, but you could add a watermark to the movie in FCE, and to the menus in iDVD. You could also put the FBI warning at the beginning/end of the video, and/or copyright the material and mark it as such.
+3. If iDVD doesn't allow for it, can it be applied at a place like DiscMakers from my provided DVD?+
Check with them -- it's my understanding that the protection can be created when DVDs are pressed.
+4. Can I sell my DVD that I produced with iDVD and not have to worry about copyright issues with apple templates?+
I've not seen that issue addressed (I'd start by searching the forums). Perhaps get it in writing from Apple or use your own images to change to your own theme (I'm just offering ideas here; I have no legal background nor do I know what's on the rest of your DVD).

Filcking right a little bit on trackpad makes webpages stop working.
Sorry if my English is broken...
I'm using Safari 7.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.2 installed MacBook Pro.
The trouble is just as menthoned in the title.
If you have Majic Trackpad or built-in trackpad, try these steps... These steps make the problem happen.
Open Safari.
Visit some webpage.
Then visit another webpage.
Finally, using trackpad, flick rightwards a little(as you do when you go back to the previous page, but do it just a little bit & release your finger quickly).
And when those steps 'work', following horrible glitches will happen:
The webpage you're visiting is shifted slightly to the right and the webpage you were visiting before can be seen a little. (This is the sign of 'success!')
The webpage stops working. You will never be able to write into a textbox on that page and so on.
You can't visit websites in that tab anymore. You can see webpages being loaded, but nothing happen in your tab.
Trackpad scrolling in other tabs is blocked until you close the tab in question.
I'm surprised because I've never had such a problem before...
So, the question is: What is this caused by? And how can I prevent it? (Well, trying not to flick a little IS one solution, but not this time XD)There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.

Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit
I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
I installed almost all of the drivers available on http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
Any help please?
Thank you.Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
Any help please:
This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

Hello gogreenj14,
If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Click the Add This Computer button.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge. After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down. Today i tried to turn it back on ( i spilled it last night) and now it won't turn on but when i plug it in the orange light comes on so it still charges.
TBF: You may have been lucky enough not to cripple your MBP immediately with your spill, but a spill such as you describe will have left obvious traces if you ever need to take your machine in for a repair of any kind. And as soon as evidence of the spill is found, any chance of the necessary repairs being performed under warranty will be gone.
Taking the machine in now to be cleaned and have the greasy parts replaced will be expensive, but doing so may save whatever remains of your warranty. For a price, Apple will restore the machine to like-new condition, and at the very least, you will then have a 90-day repair warranty on it. If you have significantly more time than that remaining on your original one-year warranty, and especially if you've bought the extended AppleCare Protection Plan, it would probably be worth taking the machine in to a Genius Bar for a look-over. Ask whether, if you have Apple clean and repair the machine now, your new-computer warranty and AppleCare plan will be reinstated afterward or whether all you'll have is the short repair warranty from now on. If the spill will negate your warranty and AppleCare even if you have Apple clean it, then the cleaning probably isn't worth paying for. But if paying for the cleaning will get your warranty and AppleCare reinstated, it may be worth doing. -
Unable to set asset tag number in bios 1.17 on Thinkpad Yoga S1
Hi I have a bunch of Thinkpad Yoga Machine Type 20CD002UUS and I've been trying to set the asset tag in the bios. According to support I can use this tool: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
It was working great on a bunch of machines and then just stopped. I realized the only difference was the bios version.
On the ones that WORKED the bios is 1.16, the ones that DO NOT WORK are bios 1.17.
Has anyone has this issue? It doesn't say anything about the BIOS version being an issue, but it's realy annoying.
Anyone have any pointers?
Machines are running Windows 8.1 64 bit
Solved!
Go to Solution.Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry you're having difficulties.
Looking at the v1.17 BIOS readme: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gquj12ww.txt
I see one item that may be related, stressing "may": "(New) Improved the UEFI BIOS security feature."
Wish I could offer more.
Regards.

Thinkpad Yoga crashes almost every day
A few weeks ago my 4-year old laptop started crashing a few times every week, so I decided to get a TPY. I received a 20CD000MMH (I5, 8 Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD+16Gb M.2 SSD) with windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit) on the 20. Feb and since then the longest time it has kept running is less than 48h. I've been downloading both recommended and optional (12. Feb BIOS update was optional!) Windows and Lenovo's System Updates every day, sometimes twice a day: after a crash System Update usually wants me to reinstall the LAN driver. I've reinstalled Intel's graphics driver several times over as well. For example yesterday screen brigthness was stuck at max after a BSOD, so at least it seems sometimes System Update is right in it's reccomendations.
Currently I have 5 files in the Windows minidump folder, about as many BSODs did not result in any. I've also done 2 resets after discovering in the morning that the computer is almost too hot to hold and won't shut down. Fortunately those have not recurred since disabling "turn off display" last week and checking every time I go to sleep that the computer really is off.
I haven't found many posts from other people who have this many crashes - I'm starting to feel I'm missing something obvious or have a really, really bad example of a TPY. At least there are no ghosting issues, although the SSD worked for caching for only a single glorious day of sub 20 sec. boots. Now I'm back to 1min+...
Does anyone have any advice, besides returning it? The only thing I think I haven't tried yet is messing with the virtual network adapter (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Thinkpad-Yoga-not-waking-up-after-sleep/td-p/1348... as I'm afraid of permanently losing the network connection (which has been working fine) or something and I haven't foud any real instructions.And an update about my TPY also: my local Lenovo service couldn't find any hardware or software issues and it did not crash when it was there for two and a half days. They barely used it though. They did suspect the problem might have something to do with Lenovo and Microsoft programs being incompatible (both have power managers, for example) while running simultaneously. We decided to test software issues by having them reinstall Windows (on a 128 Gb M.2 SSD, which I had bought a few days before as I was sick and tired of the barely functional SSD caching) and by me avoiding any and all updates besides antivirus definitions. So far I've had one crash in 3 days, although it was not a BSOD. It just freezed up while watching a video and I had to reset it with a pin. So things have gotten better, especially considering I now can start using the computer in less than 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes after a crash. It's still not good though and there seem to be some memory issues: when I wake up the computer or restart Windows the setting keep changing for no reason. So far the desktop background has changed color, scaling goes from 125% (which I prefer) to either 100% or 150% and the mouse pointer size changes. Also I've gotten some memory errors (displayed too briefly to write down) when making changes to the account that require me to log off. I'll keep it for a few days and look for additional problems but it looks like I'm going to have to have the motherboard replaced...

Spare Stylus to Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga
Hi Guys
I am using my new Thinkpad Yoga and I am happy so far.
Unfortunately I lost my pen/stylus a few days ago and of course, the tablet/ultrabook is useless or just a normal notebook without a stylus.
However, I failed to find a spare-stylus which fits in the case. Could you direct me to a webshop or something were I can buy one?
And, as it is related to this topic, do you know any other stylus which work with this tablet? The original one is fine but to work all day long with the normal stylus it is a bit to small / thin.
Best regards

Other Wacom based tablet PC styluses should work but you might have to recalibrate the digitizer though.
You can check out the Wacom styluses that Fujitsu , Lenovo , and Samsung offer. Those all should work.
