Windows 8 start-up unnecessary software thinkpad x230
Hello!
Where can I get description of lenovo software running on start up?
Can you help me to understand what I need to disable on start up?
I update my system to windows 8.
After the latest upgrade with lenovo solution center my systems became additional start-up software:
1) Lenovo AVFramework Native Server (19) - I don't have web cam, why it is running?
2) Mobile Hotspot Client Application - what is it? Why I need it?
3) ThinkVantage Active Protection System (TpShocks) - what is it? Why I need it?
Other qquestion:
1) Why there is no lenovo power manager, but latest system upgrade (12.01.12) was installing it...?
2) There are 2 copies of lenovo utilities in Program files and Program files x86! How can I delete one of it properly and what I should delete? (Why this happened - nobody wants to use 32bit software on 64bit system?),
For example there are 2 different copies of password_manager running...
Booting time is 1.20 minute vs 30 sec on [windows 7 without any upgrades]! I make upgrades only with lenovo solution center and I feel myself as a beta tester now...
And the last question, how can I disable life image and color calibration, it is annoying?
PS excuse me for some imperative in my English - this is not my first language.
Hi,
Did you try running diagnostics? The ESC key after power on should get you to the Startup screen.
If diagnostics run clean then try Safe Mode.
Using F11 to enter the HP Recovery Manager(if working) should get you to a menu that allows you to select Troubleshoot.

Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS. Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc. Somethings not right. What the Heck ?
See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes. -

When I started my lappy,windows wasnt starting;actually lappy was hanged on windows logo so I took off the batteries and reinstalled them.Then I started it again but DOS screen showed me the error message and asked me for windows diagnosis which further asked me to restore PC.Diagnosis was successful and this time windows started but I had lost thunderbirds and aroura applications.Is there any way to get thm back without internet download?
Should I re-download those software?If I re download them,is it possible to happen again?How can I prevent this startup problem?System restore will revert changes made to the "Program Files" folders, so in your case it removed Aurora and Thunderbird. You will need to download and install them again. Hopefully whatever problem you had with Windows was fixed so it should not happen again.

"No Internet access" yellow icon on ThinkPad X230 after updating Intel PROSet wireless drivers
I have a ThinkPad X230 that began to display the yellow exclamation point icon for "No internet access" after I did a batch of updates. It has an Intel Advanced-N 6205 wireless card and is updated to the newest BIOS. I tried everything I could find on Google to try and fix the issue, and found no issues in these forums to users having an issue. So after fighting with it for a day, I decided to wipe the system and reinstall Windows.
I loaded Windows 7 Enterprise X64 with SP1 and did not domain join the laptop, so it is totally untouched Windows. and then installed the Intel wired networking drivers version 11.15.16.0, which were downloaded from Lenovo. I then installed the Intel wireless network drivers version 15.03.1000.1637 which were also downloaded from Lenovo. Everything is working fine at this point. I then loaded TVSU 5.02.0011 to get all the other Lenovo software. One of the updates offered was Intel wireless 15.6.1, so being careful, I selected only that update and installed it. After a restart, the yellow icon is there, even though I haven't yet connected to any wireless network - it is in place for the wired connection too. Uninstalling the 15.6.1 drivers would not make it go away. Installing 15.03.1000.1637 again also doesn't make it go away.
A System Restore to revert to before the installation occurs does make the icon go away.
I did some more searching on Google and the Intel Community forums have a report of this same issue from a user on a Dell machine: http://communities.intel.com/thread/38498. There is no solution posted as of yet. I have posted my problem there now too.
Has anyone experienced this issue and is there any fix besides System Restore or a reformat if the new drivers get installed? I expect the drivers made available via TVSU to be rock solid, this is why I follow what TVSU even if there are newer drivers from the manufacturer sometimes.
Myself I use a T420s with an Ultimate-N 6300 wirelss card, and the newest Intel drivers installed onto my machine without issue. I also have a couple other X230 computers that I am pretty sure have the drivers as well already without problems. So I am wondering if there is some sort of firmware issue with the particular wireless card, or something is causing the drivers to not install in the correct way. Just my thoughts.
Current: ThinkPad Tablet 2 | 64GB // ThinkPad T440s | i7-4600U | 12GB | 512GB SSD | FHD MT
Previous: ThinkPad T420s // ThinkPad T410sI deploy a lot of X230 laptops and have been dealing with this issue. Since I cannot find any information about the cause and how to fix it I started looking more into it. The "No internet access" yellow icon starts appearing after installing items from System Update. So, with a new X230 I applied all Windows Update (which installed without issues) before going into System Update. After doing the Critical and most of the Rcommended (don't care for Access Connections) I proceeded to the Optional updates which I installed one at a time. When I installed the WiFi Driver for Intel cards 7(64), Version 15.6.1 and rebooted the system the yellow icon appeared with the "No internet connection" status. Everything still works though, I can still connect to the internet. Doing a driver rollback does not fix the problem. I did a system restore from a restore point prior the last System Update and the yellow icon went away. finished the rest of the Optional updates except the WiFi driver and all is well. This is what I did and went through, not sure if it will be the same for everybody. But Lenovo needs to look into that driver version.

ThinkPad X230 cannot shudown, suspend or hibernate
Hello,
We have just bought 3 ThinkPad X230 and one of them has a problem; when i tried to do a suspend, the system comes back to the logon screen 1 or 2 second after the suspend, if I tried hibernate, the power button led flashes rapidely and the system restart and if i try to shutdown the machine, the machine restarts.
I am using the preload that was installed on the machine.
I have tried to restore the bios default settings -> NOK.
i have tried to upgrade the firmware of the SSD, no update needed -> NOK
I have tried to do a BIOS update -> NOK
I have used the machine without the battery, it's the same -> NOK
I have tried to use the machine only with the battery -> NOK
I have done the memory and SSD diagnostics, both are OK -> NOK
I have installed Windows 7 from scratch with all the lenovo drivers, same problem -> NOK
One thing is, as soon as I plug the machine on the AC adapter, the machines starts. Is this normal ? (i don't think so but I ask to be sure)
Another thing, the power button doesn't seem to work. I can press on the power button as long as i want, nothing happen (no suspend or 'forced' shutdown)
Does anyone have an idea what I can do ?
I think the machine has a hardware problem as the two others are OK.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Marc.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi, MarcVDH
Due to all the testing you have tried thus far, I am inclined to agree with you about the issue being hardware-related. A clean install of Windows 7 should've fixed all software issues the machine may have been having. As such, I would recommend giving support a call at (0)2 339 3611 and telling them of your issue.
Also, as for the machine turning on when the AC adapter is attached, this is a BIOS setting in certain ThinkPads. I'm not sure if it is in the X230, but I know that it is available in the X220t. If you'd like to check, it can be found under Config ► Power in the BIOS.
Hope it helps,
Adam

It's been about 5 months since I started to use my Thinkpad X230. Only three days ago it could work for 5-6 hours without charging. I could charge it at home, bring it to school and use it without charging. But suddenly the battery started to die in a short amount of time. Then I explored the battery settings a little bit. I found out it says "Battery Condition: poor" and "Your battery can 47% of its original full charge capacity."
It has warranty until 2015. So can Lenovo send me a new battery if I want so? Or is it a problem that warranty doesn't cover? Please help!!
Solved!

If you are running WIndows 7 on your X230, go into Power Manager and find the Battery Maintenance function. Then run a Reset cycle on the battery and see how it comes up.
The microprocessor in the battery can get out of sync with the battery capacity the X230 think should be available and that can cretae the sort of issue you have described. Resetting the battery will resync the on board micrprocessor in eth battery with the expected battery capacity in Power Manager.

Can't fsck to get past hang at 'Login Window Starting' at start up
Someone in the OS X forum suggested I might try posting this here.
I have an old clamshell ibook that I upgraded (added more memory) in order to load OS X. After I loaded OS X 10.3 and started up, the updater told me that an update was available. I downloaded it and began the update...my battery died in mid update. Now when I start up, it gets to "login window starting" and stalls. I have tried Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair disk (nothing really to repair). I have used Disk Warrior and this tells me that my directory needs to be rebuilt, I have rebuilt it, restarted and the same thing happens. When I go back to disk warrior, it tells me the directory needs to be repaired and this just repeats.
I have tried a safe startup and the start up stalls at the same "login window starting" point. I have tried starting in single-user mode and I get a long pause, then alot of characters, but the cursor never allows me to type the fsck commands. I have tried resetting the Power Managment Unit (to no avail). One of the lines that shows up when I start up in single-user mode is in yellow and says "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.ApplePMU." Which I took to mean was a problem with the power management unit.
To make matters worse, I have only the original 3 gb hard drive in the ibook and therefore no space to install os x with an archived copy of the system's current software. I have tried resetting PRAM and I have shut down by holding the power switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Brian,
Alas, no...this is one of the original clamshells. I have found that I can force the ibook to start up from an old OS 9 install cd and see the hard drive on the desktop/access files, so I have saved my critical data to a usb removable drive. The crisis is averted and I'm thinking of trying to get back to OS X through a series of installs and updates starting with the OS 9 install disk. If this fails, I'll just do a clean install of OS X and reload everything.
Thanks, Chris -

3) Re-install windows 7
Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.

Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

IMac purchased at garage sale help. Gets stuck at "Login Window Starting."
Hi all,
I recently purchased an iMac at a barn sale, and it turns on and everything, but then gets stuck at "Login Window starting" screen (http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt135/gpd2paul4/IMG_0251.jpg). When Goggling this problem, I see that I am not alone in thee problem, but I am alone in the fact that I don't even know what model it is (I think G3, but not sure), let alone have the original CDs or paperwork. I have tried holding 'shift' right after the startup chime to start up in safe mode, but it still gets stuck at "Login Window starting." I have attached a few pictures of the computer to help you veteran Mac users identify it, which might help you help me. Any help is appreciated. (Step-by-step instructions are best, I am good at using a Mac, but this is getting pretty technical.)

What is firmware?
The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.

I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?
Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.

Thinkpad X230 boots slow in userspace.
Hey,
my Thinkpad X230 suddenly started booting slow, a few weeks ago. It was booting in about 20s, now it takes about 120s. I can't find an obvious reason. It seems, it is hanging after the filesystem checks. The hard disk I/O led is not flashing, so it's probably not a slow I/O issue.
No systemd service or mount takes unusually much time to startup.
$ systemd-analyze blame | head -5
9220ms [email protected]
783ms [email protected]
387ms laptop-mode.service
236ms systemd-binfmt.service
150ms lvmetad.service
The startup time for the kernel seems pretty usual, about 100s for the userspace is definitely unusual for my configuration.
$ systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 14184ms (kernel) + 99418ms (userspace) = 113603ms
The boot graph (systemd-analyze plot, http://henning.orgizm.net/arch/boot.svg) indicates, the hanging (about 88s) happens between "mnt-platter.mount" and "local-fs.target". The filesystem for /mnt/platter is ext4, contains no errors and mounting in a live system is instantaneous.
I tried booting with an initcpio generated by the last but one version of mkinitcpio (0.12.0-3) and it makes no difference.
Does someone of you have the same problem or ideas for further debugging it?
Regards,
henningHum, well I have found that sometimes the parallelization of systemd boot-up can make it seem like one thing is causing a problem when really it is something else.
One sure fire way to figure out what it is, by had go through your journal and manually look through all the systemd messages from boot. Look for the timestamp it says it is Starting a service and subtract the timestamp when it says it has Started the service.
By doing that I figured out that a problem I was having was tor.service was configured in such a way that at shutdown the Tor server would wait a long time before finishing taking down the tor server. -
Integrate Java standalone application when WIndows start
Hello everybody.I would like to ask you if it is possible to load a Java standalone application when any Windows platform (NT/2000/98/XP) starts.
How can I integrate an application when WIndows start?Do I have to include the bat file(which callls the java applictaion) into a Windows system file?
Regards.You can do one of several things:
1. Write a native executable that runs the Java Archive (JAR) using the java shell command.
2. Write a Windows shortcut that runs the java shell command (again passing in the JAR).
3. Purchase software that will produce a native executable that will run the JAR for you.
4. Integrate JAR files as executable programs into your Kernel. In Windows this is not easy, but again, there are solutions on the Internet, but you will most likely have to purchase these.
5. Configure the JAR file type so that when any JAR file type is double-clicked (and the default action is performed), the Java runtime is executed with the JAR as a parameter.
5 is my usual solution, and for operating systems like Linux, and especially MacOS, it is much easier to get JARs to run 'more natively'.
The answer to your question is simply 'Yes' but it is your choice of how to do this.
As far as running the JAR when your desktop starts up (Explorer in this case), you can do two things - firstly there's a 'Run' item in your registery where you can place the location of your shortcut / executable, secondly, you can simply put the short-cut or the executable (I recommend a shortcut) in your 'Startup' folder of your Start Menu. (Start -> Programs -> Startup).
I hope this helps.

I just got a iBook G3 Dual USB for Christmas and it had 10.3.3 and i upgraded it to 10.3.9 and now all it does is boot to the loading screen and wont get past the Login Window start part, the mouse is still moving so its not freezed. I also get cant boot into safe boot because the same thing happens. I dont have the restore/install cd either.

You need to purchase a set of Panther 10.3.x installation discs.
By using the Jaguar 10.2.x discs, or model specific discs on the iBook, you may have further compromised the system.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs must look exactly like the images in the above links.
Additional info in these links.

Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
