What's In The Kit?

I must say the performance of the fulfillment house has me chewing my nails. It took them days to do the simple act of processing a credit card and since then three days have passed and still no shipment. GRRRrrrrrrr.
But I would like a jump on what we are getting. Mark, here are the questions:
Is a complete set of Lenovo drivers and apps included on the disk? I ask this with clean install in mind--ie formatting the disk, which wipes out what is there and replacement with the new o/s and full set of software/drivers for the machine.
Do the disks include an update for the BIOS or is that something we do before any install begins?
If the disks don't have a full set of drivers and Lenovo apps are we supposed to download them from somewhere? If so where?
Finally a very personal question. I have a T500 which had a disk failure. It now has had the hard drive replaced and I restored the system with the Lenovo restore disks (version Vista Business 64). I have not done ANYTHING further to the machine awaiting this software. Obviously a clean install is the best route since no applications or data has been moved onto the machine. Your advice please on best route to take.
Thanks

sfoeuroflyer,
Sorry that you didn't receive the answer to your post within 24 hours - please keep in mind the forum is full of a lot of questions and is ostensibly peer to peer support. Thanks for sharing the feedback from the IBM support center technican.
To Paradox183's question...
I'd like to clarify that the upgrade kit is equivalent to buying a shrink wrap Windows 7, doing the install and then adding all the Lenovo drivers. There is added benefit of using the enhanced experienced drivers included, but it is not an exact match of a Lenovo factory preload image for systems shipping with Windows 7 pre-installed (after Oct 22) as we've noted in other threads.

What happened to the 'KITS' in new GB?

Are older versions of GB available? (drum) KITS are not on the new one

Did you previously have GarageBand '11 installed? Then it should still be in a subfolder of applications, if you did not uninstall it. And the new GarageBAnd 10.0 will be showing the GarageBand '11 instruments in the "Legacy" section of the library.
The AppStore now sells only the new GarageBand version.
You can buy an installer as part of the boxed iLife '11 suit - buy a set of installer disks from Amazon. Then update the installed version from the apple Support page, see this download link:
GarageBand 6.0.5 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1507

Hi, I am from Mauritius and I can't find my country for the MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program and hence, can't order the kit. What can I do?

Hi, I am from Mauritius and I my country is not in the list for the MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program and hence, can't order the kit.
What can I do?
Thank you beforehand.

There may be an authorized Apple service provider who can handle the matter
of obtaining a replacement bottom part to the computer in question and also do
the necessary labor, if your unit qualifies for the program...
Did you see this section (Apple - Find Locations) and choose your country
then enter City and Product information to find authorized service provider
for your Mac portable, as supported by an independent local business?
There are three categories, not all may be available across your country;
Sales, Service, and Consulting.
•Apple - Find Locations - Argentina:
https://locate.apple.com/ar/es/
Another selector to try for service & support options appears through this link:
https://getsupport.apple.com/SASOLocaleAction.action
The first one above tends to list any authorized retail repair & sales business
that provides product, service, sales, and repair in the area. With contact info.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit only works with older nanos with the 30 pin connector. What kit or what accessory do I need to utilize the Nike ipod sport kit fuctionality?

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector. Not sure if the kit will work. What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano? Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?

Hey SeanW89,
Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:
Nike + iPod Sensor - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA368LL/E/nike-ipod-sensor
iPod nano (7th generation): Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5470
Connect to Bluetooth accessories
You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have an older s3 that is off-network, How can I get the kit kat update on my s3?

I have a "retired" Galaxy S3 that I am keeping as a spare- The Kit Kat update supposedly has been available since 6/20, but I cannot get the software on my off-network phone to update- even though is is connected by wi-fi. I spent about a half hour chatting on-line with tech support Monday, 6/23, who assured me that is would update over wi-fe- although I have NOT been able to do so yet. I went into the Verizon store yesterday, and the woman I spoke to there told me all I had to do was swap SIM cards with my active phone, then casually mentioned that if I did that, it would void the warranty on my new phone by taking it off-network. Great, just what I would want to do...
I am seriously considering re-activating it for a couple hours, just to get it updated, then deactivating it again. It would seem there should be an easier way.

Thank you for the prompt reply, but still unsatisfying. I spent a couple hundred dollars for this phone less than 2 years ago (not to mention the $600 for the S5 off-contract a couple months ago) and you are telling me that I have to void the warranty or open a new data-service line to get the proper support for my Verizon-branded device? At this point the S3 is off warranty and primarily used on wi-fi- I could just as well root it and run custom ROMs I suppose- nothing to lose at this point, since the company that sold it to me won't even help to keep it up-to-date. I don't mean to sound like a whiner, but this is not what most would consider good customer support.

What is a media kit - upgrading from Tiger to Leopard?

I appreciate that I am a bit behind the power curve but I have only just realised that I have to upgrade to Leopard if I am to extend the life of my trusty iBook G4! The problem is the only source of Leopard seems to be eBay - where reliable advice is conspicuously absent. Apart from expressing surprise that I cannot buy the upgrade disc from Apple, I would appreciate some advice from this forum.
What exactly are media kits? They are advertised new at about 16% of the going rate for a used installation disc on eBay. There is a suggestion that, if a licence number is available from a previous installation, they can be used to upgrade but I am a little sceptical.
Any advice gratefully received and apologies if this has been covered earlier - couldn't find it in a search.
Dave

The "media kit' is a physical disk, but that's all.
In order to use it, you'd need a valid license, but the media kit doesn't include any license.
Media Kits are designed to be used by large installations - say you had 100 systems in your corporate network that you want to upgrade. You don't really need (or want) 100 Install DVDs so you might purchase a site license for 100 copies plus a media kit or two.
The site license is really the legal right to install and run a certain number of copies of the OS within an organization. You'd still need at least one copy of the install DVD, though, so that's where the Media Kit comes in - the physical package that's designed to be used in conjunction with a separate license agreement. It works out a lot cheaper to buy one Media Kit plus a 100-user license than it does to buy 100 single-user licenses.
The license agreement could also be a single-user copy of Mac OS X - for example, you lost or broke your install DVD and want a replacement. A Media Kit would also be valid there.
It isn't valid, though, as an upgrade from an earlier OS version.

I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

The Kit Kat Impressions

So after updating my WiFi model in the kit kat version i'd like to express my first impressions (After 2 weeks of heavy usage of the newest version of android)
-Super fast menus (only the settings menu seems to be a bit laggy)
-almost 30% faster I believe in Chrome and most of the apks I had already installed
-Unfortunately the flickering screen problem (mainly in apps such as chrome, or Google Tranlate) is still here.
-the landscape button finaly works!
There was indeed a drain problem which I totally fixed by turning off the Google locations.
-Another problem I also noticed was the fact that almost all the videos I tested in Hardware mode with the default video player or by using the Mx player seem to "stop" momentarily every two minutes making the playback a bit painful... The only solution is to enable the S/W mode in the Mx Player
That's my first thoughts.

So you buy a very expensive tablet with extra hardware like a sd-card, and don't mention anything about that in the review of this crippling update?
What if Google decided that WIFI will be redundant?
Do you not care about that either?
If someone is so positive about this upgrade you have to be very lucky, or work for Google.
And Sony is to blame too.
They did nothing to prevent this all, but still selling tablets with a sd-reader.
If we want this kind of security solutions we had bought an iPad.!
Just as expensive, but with better hardware!
So, Sony do something about it, or stop selling this kind of expensive tablets!
Google is not God! Their just a bunch of creedy...........
But hardly anybody seems to protest here!

Anybody know what size are the screw's to keep place the Airport card?

Hi Folk's

Hi,
I purchased an Apple MB988ZM/A Airport Extreme Wireless Upgrade Kit for my 2.93GHz 8-Core 2009 Nehalem Mac Pro a couple of months ago.
The kit includes 2 screws inside a transparent pack. The description on the pack reads:
"HH111009 603-9823-A Assembly Screws China".
The screws are approximately 4.5mm in overall length, of which about 3mm is the thread.
The thread appears to be fine, and the round head of the screw takes a Philips 00 screwdriver tip.
I have checked one of the screws with my "screw gauge" (I am a very keen DIYer!), and its diameter measures 1.5mm.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bill

My apps dance open and close on their own in my IPad 2 what can be the prob? I have already restored

I got the charger flex or pin changed and now the apps dance on the screen, photos open and zoom in, then out, the other apps open and close. I have already restored the device with Itunes and prob is still there. What can be the problem? Any suggestion will be welcome. Thank you

THANKS for your prompt reply Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....

What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

hi experts,
i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

Hi,
When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
Hope it is clear.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.
