Windows 8 BIOS and RAID do not mix well

I posted this in the Thinkpad forum, but posting it here also.
I downloaded and installed bios 2.03 for my W530 because of the Windows 8 support.
The bad news is that if you have raid enabled you will NOT be able to boot your system after updating the BIOS.
I hope Lenovo check this and issue a quick fix .... ????
The good news is that if you disable raid in the bios settings you will be able to boot off of a cd containing the previous version, 1.11 and restore things to working.

Hi,
Is the machine domain joined before applying GPOs?
Do we configured any folder redirection/Roaming profile policies?
Could you please have a share with the policies that you have configured?
For troubleshoot group policy issue, you may have a read about this article:

Adobe Pro 11 and Safari do not mix well. Previos version lf Adobe worked fine in Safari and 10.9.

I cannot get my Adobe Pro11 to work in Safari. It does work in Fiorefox. Prior to Pro 11 install never had any PDF issues in Safari. After install, now get black screen and a note that says the adobe pdf veiwer cannot be found. This is poor software functionality in my opinion. I should not have to go into the library and modify anything. It should work. And if not, why wasn't that disclosed prior to me buyoing the program?

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

Bios not install error and Raid Configuration not showing physcial HDD in Lenovo

Is this a SATA hard drive by any chance? Sounds like you have an Adaptec SCSI controller, but no hard drive attached to it. Are you booting an install DVD of some sort?

Overclocking and RAID, do they mix???

What board do you have? It makes a difference in this case. For example, the Via K8T800 based boards do not have PCI/AGP locks, so raising the FSB overclocks all the other components as well, including the HDD controller, and it has been observed that for these boards, RAID arrays will become unstable at FSB settings above about 225 MHz, at most, so overclocking and RAID do not really gotogether on these boards. The nforce3 based boards, on the other hand, should have PCI/AGP locks, though I think (but I'm not sure) that you have to explicitly enable them in BIOS, and I've seen some threads questioning whether or not they actually work, so again the board might have problems with high FSB settings, although I'm pretty sure an nforce3 board would have a working lock and thus be able to overclock with a RAID array defined. Finally, if you have a nforce4 based board, it should definately have a functional lock on it, and it should handle the RAID just fine when overclocking.

If you can't download using your phone, then just download it from Itunes and then sync your phone.

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

P67A-GD65 New Bios and RAID issues

Hello all,
Last week I decided to reinstall my whole OS from scratch. Before doing so I updated the BIOS to the latest 4.3 version - I was experiencing some issues which may have been HW related and I thought I wanted to try the latest BIOS.
I now have a weird problem. When I shutdown the PC I can heard my RAID HDDs being turned off one by one, but before the last one is being shut down the PC reboots. Then the RAID BIOS screen takes ages to appear and I can hear my HDDs being turned on one by one - slowly.
If I then shutdown the system again, all is good.
The other day the RAID BIOS was showing one of the RAID HDDs being NOT part of the RAID - hence it marked the array as Degraded. The array rebuilt correctly and it's not ok.
I know that my HDDs are possibly not perfect - but if analysed they do not show any obvious issue - but I was not having this problem before.
Any suggestions? It would be also nice to know WHICH HDD failed, and maybe I could try replacing it! Is there a log somewhere that tells me what's happening?
Thanks

Hi there,
What RAID mode are you useing (0, 1, 10,...)?
When you go into RAID BIOS/setup, dosent it show the SATA ports for all your HDD's to see wich failed(if its "fixed" then its maybe toolate for this one)
Here is link for BETA BIOSses
After last full relise you see fix Quote

Maybe thats whats up rigth now..
Hope this helped! Cheers Mummy

I just upgraded to itunes 64 bit 12.1.1.4 on Windows 8.1 and it does not recognize my devices

ITunes was working fine but it kept prompting me to upgrade which I did. After the upgrade it took a very long time to identify my iPod classic, but it finally did and I was able to download one song I had purchased. I have 3 iPods. I then put in my second iPod and iTunes could not find it. I researched the options from Jason via his very good link but the suggestions do not work. Windows sees the iPod (all of them just fine) the cables are good, (I used them on another computer running iTunes under windows XP and they recognize the ipods with no problem. The Apple Mobile Device shows up fine under USB controller and the ipods show up under Portable devices. After much back and forth, restarting, powering off both iPod and PC, iTunes still will not recognize the old ipod, but once - it said -" It did recognize that an ipod was connected but it could not verify the identity". It asked me to dis-connect, power off and try again and if the problem persist to call tech support. I discontented and powered off and tried again and it will not see any ipod. In all of this Windows 8.1 sees the ipod just fine. I decided to uninstall the new update and go back to the old one. I uninstalled iTunes and attempted to install my original ITunes which is itunes64bit.exe dated 1/25/2015, but now the installer will not work - it goes to a screen that says "ITunes Installer Completed - Errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation run the installer again". I have tried 4 times each time with the same message and no indication o f the error. I would like to call tech support but find it hard to pay $29 to call them about an upgrade Apple basically forced me to take that has created this problem. I am not sure what my next step should be - I have 3 ipod and 2 ipad, and right now no working iTunes. It used to work, even up to a few a hours ago but once I took that upgrade from ****, it has not worked since.

The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

IO operations using ActiveX with Windows 8 64bit and IE 11 not working

We are using ActiveX for downloading file from the server, It works well with Windows 7 and XP but there is issue with Windows 8 and IE 11.It doesn't give any error for downloading files using ActiveX but file not downloaded and even does not generate log
file for the issues and error.
We are confused because it doesn't throw any error while log generation or downloading file
Is there any limitation for ActiveX with Windows 8 for IO operations.
We are stuck at this point. please help
Thanks

Hi,
check Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons
find your activeX control in the list, make sure it is enabled and supports both x86 and x64.
also
Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
file>Properties menu to find out which IE Security zone your web page with the activeX maps to.
Regards.
