Using two fingerprint readers and a docking station

I'm having a problem with the fingerprint reader when used with an Advanced mini dock station.
I recently aquired an Advanced mini dock and a Lenovo fingerprint keyboard to be used with my T61p and Windows 7 Ultimate.
The problem is that each time the T61p is docked I need to open Windows Device Manager and disable the internal fingerprint reader - and when undocked - the internal fingerprint reader needs to be enabled again.
This is a bit tedious - to say the least.
I've heard from someone that Windows should 'remember' when you enable/disable like this when the machine is docked and undocked, but this doesn't happen here.
Any ideas on how to make Windows automatically switch between the internal fingerprint reader when undocked - and the external fingerprint reader on the Lenovo keyboard - when docked? I know there is no longer machine hardware profiles - like in Win XP. But shouldn't there be some other feature to take care of stuff like this?
Any hints are welcome.
TIA.

Tinkerguy,
Thank you for the tip.
However, although very informative - it doesn't help in my case. On the Lenovo fingerprint keyboard I'm using the fingerprint reader is an UPEK as well - and for both FPR's the same driver version is loaded.
I forgot to mention that I've already checked that the external FPR has been set to have precedence in BIOS.
I'm now in contact with tech support at UPEK - Let's see if that gives anything.
Question: Is there _anyone_ out there that is successfully using Lenovo's Fingerprint Reader keyboard with a Thinkpad and a docking station under Windows 7?
By successful, I mean without having the necessity to switch the internal fingerprint reader off and on when docking/undocking?
TIA.

TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've used both headphones and a docking station. The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded 2 files via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've tried both headphones and a docking station......nothing. The songs don't even engage, they skip to the next one. I've tried rebooting the iPod and still nothing. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

I have an M11-17V, and the docking station that came with it has 2 monitor outputs, analogue and DVI. I wondered what it would do if I connected a monitor to both. Windows recognised that it was faced with 3 screens (including the built-in one) and asked me to choose which 2 of the 3 I wanted it to use.
I was disappointed it would not allow me to use all of them TBH, but if your docking station is the same, it might answer your question.

Problems with a Lenovo X41 and a docking station

I have problems with a Lenovo X41 and the docking station.
Sometimes, when the laptop is undocked and used in other location, when I try to dock it again, some devices, such as mouse or keyboeard attached to the docking station, don't work.
I will appreciate your help.

I am also having the same issue you describe.

My ipod nano this morning has started to tell me the accessory (lightening to 30-pin adaptor) I use for playing it through my docking station is not supported. It worked fine up until last night. Does anyone know why this might be?

Clean any debris from the adapter, docking station connector and the connector on the Nano.

My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?

Help, I let my battery go down completely, when I try to charge it the red battery flashing sign appears and then flicks off after a few seconds. I have tried a number of chargers and a docking station nothing works. Why won't it charge?

How do you play the radio with an iPod and the docking station model RDP-M5iP

I purchased an iPod docking station model RDP-M5iP and I cannot play the radio. It says to plug in the headphones for radio reception but that does nothing. Is there any way to use the radio portion of the iPod with this model?

Hello Roger,
Welcome to Sony Community.
This Personal Audio Docking System does not have built in radio and it seems you are playing radio from the connected iPod and wish to get the audio from Docking System Speakers. You may try checking the radio reception in the iPod. Also, you may try to playback music in the iPod and check if audio is output from the Docking System Speakers.

Colby

Using the MacBook as a desktop - docking station?

Hey guys, I have a dual-core G5 that I my mother is using as her desktop. She recently got a macbook which has more than enough power for her and I would like to take the G5. The problem is she still wants to have the desktop feel while she's in her office. So, I told her she could keep the display and the keyboard/mouse and they would all plug into her laptop and she could use it the exact same way.
But, she doesn't want to plug each one of those in everytime she sits down. Is there a docking station that would allow her to plug in one usb cord or something along those lines?
What is the easiest way to do this?

For MacBook dock, it is not available yet, but I bet due its popularity, it will soon available from third party.
The easiest way for now is using usb / firewire hub, so she just need to plug single usb cable for keyboard, mouse and other usb device, and single fw cable.
But it doesn't help with the monitor cable connection.
IF you willing to buy apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard (or other brand that cheaper), maybe your mom just need to deal with monitor cable only thru appropriate apple mini dvi adapter.
Good Luck.

I want to use two analog channels and one digital simultaneously

Hello and thanks in advance for reading this!
What I am trying to do is generate two different signals from the output channels of my interface card (PCI6024E) and simultaneously use a digital line so that I can switch two tranzistors (one NPN, one PNP) which actually control the "flow" of the two signals. This means that both signals need to be "active" while the VI is running and at the same time whenever I want to choose the signal not in use I need to use the digital line so that I switch the tranzistors and I get the desired signal.
I have already created a VI which activates a digital line and while I was trying to add with the NI-DAQmx Assistant the first digital output, I discovered that it c
ould not be used simultaneously, because there was the error code -200324 saying that "Device not available in NI-DAQmx. It is possible that the device is being used by Traditional NI-DAQ or that the device is being reset."
I did reset the device but as I get it when VI runs, it cannot have an active digital channel and an analog output channel at the same time (not to mention two analog channels). Correct me (And make my day if I am wrong but this seems to be the case. Thanks a lot for your time!

Hey Shootist000, Thanks for the replies. First off, I am actually okay if we both have each other applications so I am not concerned about that. It is still unclear from what you have said as to whether I can in fact, use these two separte time machine backup to create two separate profiles on the new hard drive. If that in fact can be done, then - will it create two copies of the apps we both have in the ROOT of the drive as well as placing all the ones we each have separately?
And reading your second reply, makes me think that maybe the partition is the way to go to begin with and then down the road - after I am in the new iMac, I could reformat the iMac 27 with only one partion and restore my son's latest back prior to the reformat thus giving him full access to the 2 TB of the drive.
If this is still making sense, does this mean :
replace the 1TB with a 2TB - but have it partitione - 1.5 TB & 500 GB.
Install(Restore using Time Machine) my latest back up prior to the 1.5 partition
Install (Restore using Time Machine) my son's latest back up prior to the 500 gig partition
Lastly, in order for us both to be using the partioned computer - I am assuming Switch user can no longer be used - so would we need to restart and select our respective partions in order to use the computer? And if so, how would we each be able to be using time machine to back up - two separte external hard drives - with each one dedicated to only one partition? Or ?
Thanks so much.
Ironically, I am only trying to do this so that I don't need to manually install all his apps, setting, games, blah blah for this temporary period. :-)

Using two Nike+ Nanos and one iTunes Library

Hi,
I have a Nike+ account and a nano. I am considering buying my wife a Nike+ kit to go with her nano.
We share a single iTunes library.
Can we use two nanos with different Nike+ accounts from the same iTunes account? And both upload our runs to our own accounts without confusion?

You can always setup seperate accounts on your Mac for you & your wife & place the library in /Users/Shared/ as an alternative. However, as others have posted, the settings for Nike+ are per iPod.

Update to ISO 6.0.2 keep loosing signal, getting no service, we use two iphone 4 and 5 I update it and others its ok, pretty sure it's update couse losing network signal , what shall I do ?
