What to do with free mini PCIe - Flash for pagefile

Hi,
in my T500 there is a free mini PCIe Slot near the SIM Slot, but it is only half length. I found an SSD from SuperTalent in this Dimensions. Anybody out there who tried to use this Slot for storage purposes e.g. $TEMP or pagefile?
Regards,
Ronny

It will not work. This SSD is intended for the Dell Mini 9, which utilizes a special kind of mini PCI-e slot [FLASH_CON]. This slot is connected to a PATA or SATA controller on the mainboard.
The SSD will not work on standard mini PCI-e slots because they are not connected to a PATA or SATA controller.
I believe that half height mini PCI-e slot is used for Intel Turbo Memory.

Wireless mini PCI card for Satellite P10

Hi all,
can anyone help me find a wireless mini pci card for my Satellite P10-304 in the UK?

Hi
I found several WLAn minPCI Wlan cards which could be compatible with the Satellite P10 notebook.
Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b)
PA3273U-2MPC (Atheros 802.11ab)
PA3300U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11g)
PA3298U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11a/g)
Please take a look on the WLan 802.11 standards!
If you WLan router support an 802.11 standard I would recommend taking the PA3273U-2MPC or PA3212U-4MPC

Jerricayoung,
you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

What's wrong with Mac Mini Server's quality ?

Hi,
I am an owner of the Unibody Mac Mini Server 2010 for my business server.
When i bought it after two days use the HD started to fail. One with bad blocks and the other one with I/O errors. OSX froze many times. Did many tests and it showed bad blocks on one HD the second just failed some times.
The HD that are included are HTS725050A9A362.
I took the Mini to an Authorized Repair place. They replaced one HD. Gave it back to me. I then realized that they only replaced one HD. Took it back again and then they replaced the second one as well. All fine took it back home installed everything again.
I have now use it for 3 months. Couple of weeks ago i woke up to a message box saying that the Mini has beed shutdown by some error. Could not find out what that error was but things looked to be running ok so i left it like that.
Today i woke up to a dead mac mini. It would not boot. It was sitting with the spinning weel so i made a reset of the RAM or whatever it's called you know Command + P + R. That made it go a little bit further. It now stopped with the Folder icon blinking meaning it could not find a boot disk. Hmmmm i thought. This can only be a disk error. Tried to boot with DVD and do repair but it did not work out.
To rescue my data from the second disk i booted in target mode and used my iMac to copy stuff over. Let me tell you that, that was not easy. Target mode worked like ****, maybe because of the first disk which was damaged dunno. When at last i opened the folder with my stuff the copy speed was ok. Funny enough i also managed to copy data from the disk that could not boot in target mode but i can't boot it so the disk is not really dead.
Now my problem is this. What to do ? I have warranty but i have a feeling that theese HD are not reliable so if Apple repairs the Mini again they will replace with the same HD which i am not interested in. I am willing to invest in 2 new HD myself which are not the same brand but i don't want to void the warranty and open the box.
I should add that i have 2 x 4gb memory inserted which is not Apple. I bought exactly what Apple recommend on their web page (CORSAIR 4GB DDR3 1066MHz model. CM3X4GSD1066 G). I do not think this has anything to do with the problems i see but i thought I'll mention it.
I can also mention that after first time the HD died i kept an eye on the temperatures and i had HD temperatures around 35C. The CPU was around 48-50C and the server was idling at 80-85%.
What can you recommend me i do ? Maybe all the problems that i have are just ****** quality by Apple. Maybe they squeezed the internal components to close and they run into these problems. I just don't know what i should do. It's not like that this is a computer...it's a server and MUST run continuously.

Are you certain the RAM is not causing this issue?
Was the original (2Gb-4Gb) RAM fitted when the 1st issue appeared?
Apple does not offer the current Mac mini + server with 8Gb RAM. It is likely that non OEM RAM can cause corrupted data on the HDD(s).
Is it not possible to fit the original RAM, format/reinstall the HDD and test the Mac mini the way it was shipped?.
The current Mac mini is positioned as a home or small business server plus there is no hardware reporting as found in an X-Serve. The HDD(s) used are as reliable as one would expect from a portable drive. Like the previous Mac mini's, the current models are reliable with few known issues until you replace parts that Apple may not have used in testing.
Since the arrival of the late 2009 mini, Apple uses sensors on the original HDD(s) which cause problems (either no boot or loud fan noise) if a different brand or model is fitted. The HDD needs to be compatible with the sensor(s). The 2010 Mac mini has taken it even further in that respect covering each drive with Mylar wrapping as well as the sensor. Apple really does not want users to swap parts out.

What Touch Screen with Mac Mini?

I need to set up a Mini with a Touch Screen to create a kiosk environment. It will have a card reader attached as well -- for student check-ins.
Aspect ratio doesn't matter nor does resolution. Size can be anything from 17" to 20".
Mini has DVI port, is a recent model (Core 2 Duo), Intel GMA 950 video.
Has anybody had any experience with touch screens on a Mac? What brands to look at? What to avoid?
Thanks
:O:

I'm currently developing a touchscreen application to control television broadcast equipment using a Mac Mini (OS v10.5.2) and an Elotouch screen.
Both units fresh from China or wherever they're built.
The USB touch driver (v04.00.02) works fine when first installed.
But when the OSX Software Update is run, the touch driver fails.
I don't know why... might have something to do with those Elo clowns putting their stuff in a folder at the root of the hard drive. Who knows.
"Removing this device" (the red arrow in the elotouch UPPD Console App) and "adding" the device back made it work again. It required a reboot and running the Elo recalibration utility.
and now my 2 cents worth:
Mac Minis are great for custom applications that are typically put on embedded boards. The low cost per unit, ease of development and relatively tiny form factor make them the perfect "stick up" device that you can wedge just about anywhere.
The location I'm installing this particular solution specifies Mac or Linux OS. Due to security concerns, Windows boxes aren't allowed unless there is no other option available for a particular application.
I'm building 2 identical units for a 24-7 system. So if/when the first one smokes itself in 1-to-5 years, the 2nd one gets swapped in. Using an external net share to hold a few K of data, the control system comes back on line in a few short minutes.
Dirt cheap redundancy (compared to the other NASA-like gigabuck systems in place here.)
Mac Minis rock. As long as they keep making them, they will continue to be my first choice for "embedded" systems (that require fancy interfaces.)

Using ssd in mini pci-e for U260

I saw the post about installing an ssd into the ideapad u260 http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-and-Z-series/Ideapad-U260-Installing-an-SSD/m-p/483963#M39...,
but that is technically beyond what I'm willing to do at this point, and I'd like to keep a large drive for data, and use ssd for OS, etc.
My laptop has a Mini PCI-e, that I can't imagine using for anything, and I can get mini pci-e drive with mSata controllers apparently fairly reasonably priced. http://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-64GB-50mm-Bulletproof-mSATA/dp/B004X5YAP4/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronic...
But I'm wondering
1) will this work with a u260
2) will it actually fit IN the slot?? Or will it end up sticking out of the side of the computer
3) (this is a bit sad), how do you get the PCI slot open? I see it on the left-side, but the cover doesn't want to seem to come off. Why would Lenovo put the slot there and then just hide it behind this peice of plastic?

Hi pedalpete and welcome to the community,
Are you sure that isn't the multi-card reader, for SD cards and such?
Try pushing the cover in and it should spring back out if it's the card reader.

Mini-PCIe port for WAN on X120e other uses

Hi, I ordered a X120e without the WAN conectivity option so it came without the card but i do have that mini-PCIe available, is it possible to use that port for something else? I wanted to put a second wifi card for penetration testing and research... or even some solid storage card in there.

Well, unless you hack the BIOS to white-list whatever wireless card you install, it'll be a moot point. Also, you'd need to find a pcie ssd with an onboard controller that advertises itself as a drive controller, of which none of the available ones I know of does. So, in conclusion, unless an engineer comes out and says it can support more, odds are we can't use it for much anything outside of Lenovo wireless cards.

What is the best way to update flash for my ipad?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

What is the BEST free duplicate file finder for my OS X 10.8.5?

Could you please recommend the best free duplicate file finder for my OS X 10.8.5?
My hard disk is full and am hoping that finding and deleting duplicate files will help. I am not able to even work with my Gdrive.
Thank you!

I doubt if you'll find enough duplicated files to make a difference. Also there may be numerious files with the same name that are needed. Running some of the general dup finders can damage iPhoto libraries.
You best bet is to get an external HD, formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and move files to it. Many move their iPhoto and iTunes libraries to the EHD and run them from there. That ususally frees up a lot more space than the recommended minimum free space, 10 - 15 GB.

What to do with old mini?

I am planning to buy the new Mac mini 2.4GHz : 320GB.
The trouble is old one is working well. But a prefer the new one which has many new features and better graphics. So what are the options I have to keep using the old one.

File server. The Mini is GREAT as a tiny little headless, low power, out of the way, forget it's even there, file server. It can also be your disaster recovery system. Should anything happen to the new Mini, the old one can take its place while it's in the shop.
It could even be a guest system if you have a guest room, while still functioning as a file server. Only problem is if it crashes or your guest shuts it down while sleeping, it'd be a little difficult to get in there to turn it back on or deal with it.
Those are just two possibilities.
