X1 Carbon wont wake up on time after Lenovo PM Driver installed (windows 8)

Hello!
Recently I have installed latest Lenovo PM Driver on my X1 Carbon 34xx series.
I use Task Scheduler to wake up my pc on certain time (from stand by)
After I have installed latest Lenovo PM Driver, PC wont wake up.
1. I did not touch anything in my task in Task Scheduler. However, I checked it.
Task runs from ADMIN account.
Runs whether user loged on or not - checked
Highest priviledges - checked
wake the computer to run this task - checked
2. In windows Power Options "Wake up timers" are ENABLED for ALL power plans (on battery/ac power).
Hibernation is disabled, only standby
3. When I run
POWERCFG /WAKETIMERS
it SHOWS scheduled wake timer correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!
But computer does not wake up on time....
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks!

In fact I am not absolutely sure that PM Driver is causing this proble, because recently I have updated at the same time:
1. BIOS
2. Chipset Drivers
3. PM Driver
(all the latest versions from lenovo site)
And after these updates, wake up function stopped working... (
May be the "resume on RTC alarm" was suddenly disabled somewhere in BIOS?  How can I get it back? (lenovo BIOS is very limited, it has no such option). I also have tried to "Load BIOS defaults" - but no success...

  • DVD wont play on DVD player after new super drive installed

    I fried my burner and Apple put a new one in for me but now the movies I burn wont play on my DVD burners. Same media I've always had good fortune with. Works with my cheapy Acer but not the Pioneer. I need to send masters off for duplication and am not sure they will work with dups equiptment.
    Is this a setting somewhere or is there a work around?
    I have v 7.02 iDVD.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi
    Memorex - not good reputation here.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Running a cleaning CD/DVD from time to time can help
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.

    I am having sporadic issues after new hard drive install and recovery using Time Machine. The same sluggish response, start up screen pixelating...If I reinstall Lion will it wipe out other applications? My HD was formatted and partitioned correctly, I have a late 2009 iMac.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • IMac taking long time to boot after new hard drive installed. Help?

    I recently had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (running Snow Leopard). After the intall all was well, but I couldn't get my screensaver to work. Erroneously thinking it was missing, I reinstalled it and ended up with two screen saver folders in the system files. Now when I turn on the Mac, I get a white screen for several seconds (close to a minute) before the system shows me the Apple logo and then boots. I'm concerned about this. Did my copying the screen saver cause the problem? Should I reinstall my system software?  I was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion anyway. Will that fix the problem? Any suggestions appreciated.

    Restart in Safe Boot Mode (hold the left Shift key as soon as you restart your computer and hold it until the Apple logo appears). Once it gets to the desktop you can restart normally. Safe Mode  serves a number of purposes and one of them is to delete/trim temporary files that might be causing boot problems. There's no guarantee this will improve your startup time but it will do no harm and I have seen computers restart more quickly after a Safe Boot.

  • Time machine back up problem after new hard drive install

    After having my hard drive replaced I restored using time machine (Seagate backup drive)  There are 2 users of  this iMac.  After restoring I seem to have all my stuff back but the other user has nothing, no pics etc.  I assumed that time machine backed up everything on the computer.  Is it possible that it only backed up my data? If not, how do I restore the other users data.  Appreciate any help with this!

    How did you restore the computer? If you used migrate it is important you prepared the computer correctly. If you already setup the user name that pre-existed on the old hard disk migrate will not work properly.. you cannot restore to the same username. So you might need to do the restore again.. (migrate but to a different location eg a USB drive and pick up the files from there).. TM should backup all users that previously were on the computer.. but how you restored will affect how it behaves now.

  • Crazy slow Macbook (2008) after new hard drive install

    Hi guys,
    I did a clean install of Mountain Lion on a late 2008 aluminum macbook (not pro) in an effort to get it to speed up (my friend upgraded the hard drive (to 500gb WD) a long time ago but ended up getting a new computer since it was so slow). Everything seemed fine, I didn't install anything new, only copied over ~40g of movies and pictures. At some point it turned into the slowest computer I've ever used. Force quit took 5 minutes to show up, then another 5minutes to respond. I force shut it down, and it took 20minutes to get to the login screen, another 10 to respond to my pressing spacebar for the password, etc.
    I finally got in and starting repairing permissions, and it said it was going to take 4 hours. Then after about 30 minutes it suddenly snapped back to normal; the estimated time dropped to 5min and the computer started responding normally to everything. I thought this meant it was fixed so I restarted but the problem was still there, although not quite as bad. And like before after a while of being crazy slow it just snapped into normal mode.
    I made sure the HD was set as startup disc. Repaired permissions again. Verified drive. Reset SMC.Googled a lot. It seems all the problems like this are on 2009 Macbook Pros and have to do with an efi firmware update but this mac doesn't use the same firmwares. I'm not sure what else to try. I don't have the original hard drive. I might try to install windows with boot camp to see if that behaves normally so as to isolate it as a hardware or os x problem?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Check Activity Monitor to see if there is a process eating up rescources when the slow downs happen.

  • System restore on DV6 not working after new hard drive installed (Vista 32-bit)

    Hi there,
    I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop (DV6 1210sa) and recently on start up I have been receiving a message saying that the hard drive is at imminent risk of failure. I therefore burned the restore CDs and bought a new hard drive: (A Toshiba 2.5 inch 80gb SATA hard drive 5400 RPM). The first part of the restore completes successfully then the HP screen appears after a restart and then goes to install windows, but before this begins I receive a message saying “Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer.” I then have to restart and get the same message. Is this drive somehow incompatible? Is there something I’m missing?
    Thanks in advance

    Here are the factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa Entertainment Notebook Computer. Based on the specs, the original hard drive was 250GB. This could be a factor in your issue. It could also be that the drive is an advanced format (AF) drive. Please provide the model of the drive for our review.
    Please send KUDOs

  • Mac doesn't boot after splitting BOOTCAMP drive under Windows 8.1

    Macbook pro mid 2012, OS X Mavericks
    I've installed Windows 8.1 x64 using Bootcamp assistant. In Windows I went to Disk Management and shrank drive C: from 200 GB to 94 GB and created a new drive D: from unallocated space.
    After restart Windows doesn't boot giving some error and quickly restart. If I hold "Option" key I see only Windows. Mac OS X disappeared.
    How to fix?

    So, I've tried 1001 ways to recover. Nothing worked. Interned Recovery gives -2002F error. Macbook pro 2012 can't boot from bootable DVD to use DiskWarrior, Drive Genius or similar. It can't boot from OS X Lion install DVD. I had only Windows PC to fix this. So
    I asked a friend with latest Mavericks(which I had too) to make a Recovery USB and make a DMG file from it and send me over internet. Then I used the TransMac application under Windows and burned DMG on my USB stick. My god it worked. After 2 days of struggle I found this solution. I was able to boot from this USB stick into Recovery Mode and from there I can reinstall Mac Os X Mavericks. Somehow it sees my Ethernet cable and doesn't give error.
    Note: that Disk Utility wasn't able to recover partitions. I tried to run DiskWarrior from terminal but it gave me an error. TestDisk didn't run too. So I'm doing a clean installation.
    I could recover or backup my files using Paragon Mac Recovery Bootable DVD, but there was no need since it's my new macbook and I didn't have much files there.
    Windows had changed the HD partition map from GUID Partition Table(GPD) to MBR. And made HD a "dynamic disk". This is why Mac Os wasn't able to boot.
    If anyone knows how to convert a disk back to GPD and make Mac OS able to boot please let me know. I'm still installing Mac Os X on USB stick and didn't change my HD.

  • Restoring data after new hard drive installed

    I just got my MacBook Pro laptop back from Best Buy after having a new hard drive installed. I did not have them restore my files, as I have backed up files on my external hard drive- WD My Passport for Mac. I never originally did anything to the external drive in terms of setting it up, partitioning it, or anything. I just plugged it into my laptop and assumed it was doing the backing up. Also, now that I have my laptop back, I wanted to see if the external hard drive did what I hoped it was doing- backing up my files. I have have now plugged My Passport in hoping to restore my laptop and have discovered that I can't open some files from my iWorks files, as it appears that I may now have to reinstall that app. I guess I was assuming this app would have been saved to My Passport. In order to fully restore my files myself (trying to be more computer independent) what should I do? I have been reading some of the other questions people have asked that seem to be related to what I'm trying to do and read about partitioning My Passport. Should I go in now and make the one partition under the Volume Scheme on My Passport and then switch the name and the partition scheme from Apple Partition Map to GUID Partition Table? The message I'm getting is telling me that partitioning this disk in this way will delete all the data on this disk, so I cancelled and reset everything back the way it was, concerned I would lose all my data. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You can download iWorks from the App Store.  Since you purchased it previously it should be a free download.
    Repartitioning or reformatting a disk will erase all the data on it.
    If you are already testing your iWork files it sounds like you have restored or can restore the files.  Other than iWorks, what did not get restored?

  • Re-installing Linksys Connect on laptop after new hard drive installed

    I have a E4200 router and had Connect loaded on my laptop. My hard drive crashed and needed replacement. I had no problem signing on to my WiFi once I got the new hard drive installed.
    With the new hard drive, I now do not have Linksys Connect installed on my laptop. My question is: Can I re-install Connect with the router running perfectly well or will re-installing Connect with the router already up and running cause me problems?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Dolby Home Theater V4 changed to Dolby Digital Plus after Realtek Audio Driver update Windows 8.1

    Hi,I'm now using Ideapad Z510. After upgraded to Windows 8.1. I'd went to the Lenovo website searching for new driver update.
    But, after i install the "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7023", the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is not running(audio sound not playing through).And, the "Dolby Digital Plus" is running instead of "Dolby Home Theater V4".
    Then, when I try to reinstall the older version "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6954" from Lenovo website, the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is running again.
    Truly, the "Dolby Digital Plus"'s sound is crisper and louder than "Dolby Home Theater V4". But the sound of "Dolby Home Theater V4" has more bass and more function (like Graphic Equalizer, more Intelligent Equalizer etc.).
    Is this an update or what?
    What should I choose?The newer driver (for Windows 8.1) or older driver (for Dolby Home Theater V4)?  Thanks. (confused now) @@

    Hi all
    Could you try out DAA or DHTLightweight from my link and just install the Dolby software without overriding your Realtek Driver? I am not sure whether would it work, but worth a try. I have tried on Y460, W520 and G560 with great experience.
    If the older Dolby software does not work with your existing Realtek driver, you could install the DAA or DHTLightweight with their driver to overwrite and see how it goes.
    Thank You

  • MacBook fan running high most of the time after HDD/Hard-drive Upgrade

    Hi guys,
    I've just recently upgraded my MacBook white's (MacBook5,2, 2GHZ duo core, 4GB ram) stock harddrive to a WD 2.5" black 750GB. After which, I noticed my macbook fan running at high speeds majority of the time... Even when just doing light weight stuff on it, such as surfing the net using Safari or even just leaving my computer idle after startup.
    I did a clean install twice, the second was too see if it was really just a badly installed OS, but the problem still persisted, well at least till I decided to come here to type the post =P (maybe my macbook's scared about being talked about). Do note, that I did a pc migration each time.
    After the upgrade, My fan usually runs at about 5000-6200 rpm, but right now as I'm typing this post, its surprisingly alot lower then what I've been experiencing. About 3000rpm-4000rpm.
    As for the harddrive temperature, I noticed it runs between the 37 degree to 40 degree celsius range, so I'm guessing the hard-drive temperature sensor isn't busted, which was the problem for others from what I've read from other discussions here.
    Also, when I boot my windows partition, the fan doesn't go as crazy, but it eventually will too.
    Any idea what the problem could be? =s Or could it be that my MacBook can't handel 7200rpm hard drives =/ If so I'd probably downgrade to a 1TB WD blue =s
    On top of that, does any one know if the 2.5" WD blue are as reliable as the 2.5" WD blacks? As I'm heistant to downgrade as I've read that the blues have a higher failure rate, and wouldn't want that happening. Oh and I'm not considering an SSD for this particular MacBook at the moment, as I may upgrade in another two years or so!
    Thank you!
    Edwin

    Hey Mende1,
    Well I guess I'll try returning the drive at the end of this week then my fan seemed to have slowed down abit since the upgrade, it's sorta spinning around 3000rpm now. I'm not sure if it's gonna be the same thoughout, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't spin as much as it did when I had my old HDD on. So I'm giving it a few more day probably till the end of this week. And if the noise issue still surfaces I'll try a different hard drive! and update you on the results!
    Thanks alot Mende1!
    And hello there rauldoppler!
    Well, firstly, I'm using a early 2009 MacBook white! The pre-unibody one. It's running on a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4GB for ram.
    As for the hard-drives, I'd actually reccommend you to upgrade to an Solid State Drive if you can afford it, but if you're like me who needs more memory space then boot speed etc, I guess a HDD will be fine =) As for which brand of hard-drives, I would actually recommend WD (their black drives especially, 5 year warranty, 7200rpm speed hehe), but right now I'm having the fan problems, so I'm not too sure anymore.
    I did however, do quite abit of digging around on the net and concluded that WD was a better choices amoungst the rest... But yeah the fan issue is still something I didn't expect. All in all, I guess as for which drive is better, it really depends on your needs or wants, if it's for casual internet surfing and stuff, a WD blue HDD would be fine, or a black if you want a slightly faster boot speed etc at the expense of your battery life and all. If you however value blazing fast boot times and application start up times, go for an SSD. If you need the memory space more then anything then I'd say go for a HDD again too, as it's cheaper interms of gigabite to dollar ratio. (for example, the older 500GB version of my new WD black would cost USD $43, while a Samsung 500GB SSD Pro would cost $349) Also, You could do abit of reading up on SSDs if you're interested in it There's alot of plus points to it, like ALOT, and if the price tag wasn't so huge, I would have used it for my macbook already!
    Lastly, I used a WD Black 750GB for my macbook upgrade. However, I'm gonna downgrade to a WD blue 1TB this weekend if the fan doesn't settle down over time Cause well, the fan noise is really an issue for me.
    Peace out guys!

  • I have tried several times to update firefox when requested to do so and each time after down loading and installing I get a message that installation was unsuccessful because I am not authorize to use certain features or words to that effect.

    Latest was email from Aol that they recommend downloading a special version of firefox (firefox 8) that's designed to work with aol. I downloaded file and everything worked until I reached the time you drag the firefox icon to implement the new file. Then I get this message unsuccessful because I am not authorize to access all of the features.

  • Time Capsule after new hard drive installed.

    I am new to this and consider myself a novice Mac person.
    I just installed a 500gb Seagate hard drive and reinstalled my MAC OS on my Macbook.
    I restored my old info onto the new hard-drive.
    Do I need to reset the time capsule to do back-ups?
    Will it automatically back-up wirelessly off the new hard-drive?
    Should I reset the time capsule?

    If you used Time Machine to restore your entire system, you shouldn't have to do anything special.
    If not, you might have to set TM up again.
    But do be aware that the first backup will be a full one, since everything on your new drive is +*new to that drive.+*
    If there isn't enough room on your TC for a new, full backup, you might consider either erasing the TC's internal disk or deleting the sparse bundle. Otherwise, it will take Time Machine a very long time to make room.
    I'd strongly advise you to connect to the TC via an Ethernet cable until the first backup is done; it will be much faster than WIFI.
