X120e power setting changes won't take...

Have re-set power settings in both lenovo app and windows power magr, and yet machine keeps going into standby after 2 mins on idle time. driving me nuts...pls help. thx

If you haven't updated Lenovo Power Manager, go ahead and try using the newer version. Make sure that whatever power plan you're on isn't Power saver/Energy saver/Maximum Battery or whatever the absolute minimum power plan is you have available. Look in either Windows' "Change plan settings" or Lenovo's Advanced tabs' Power Plan Idle timers to make sure whatever sleep timer is set to what you want. Otherwise, I have no clue as to what your problem could be, since you haven't stated if you're on AC or not when this happens.

Toshiba A45/S151: OS hangs after power setting changing

The Power settings on my laptop seem highly inconsistent. When run on batteries (even 100% charged), it will run for 1-10 or 15 minutes (timings are purely random)...and then simply hang. The screen will stand still and mouse t move, keyboard wont function either. The problem remains even on changing the power settings to Windows Laptop Mode. Any solutions ?
Regards
Manoj

Hi Manoj
Well, I have really no idea what the problem can be. You can try to recover the OS with the Toshiba Recover CD without installing third tools and utilities. If the problem still the same, it is possible that something is wrong with hardware. For example, the mainboard.

Office Jet 4580 prints in reverse order, setting changes won't hold

I have a HP Office Jet 4580 and it keeps printing the last page first and works backwards. I only do one sided pages for printing, no double sided pages.
I have changed the settings as follows:
Printing Preferences
Document Options-Advanced printing features- Enabled changed to Disabled
Layout Options-Page order-Back to front changed to Front to back
I click on "Apply" and/or "OK" for each change.
I have tried the above in every combination possible (i.e. changed to Disabled, but leave Back to front, change to Front to back and leave it Enabled, etc.). Not only does this not change anything, but all settings revert back all by themselves. Once, I saw the Disabled change back to Enabled on its own as I clicked on the "OK" button. Sometimes the "Apply" button is greyed out as well. I make the changes from the Devices and Printers window. I then do the same to double check from a website window by going to File-Print-Preferences to make sure, but it changes back all by itself.
How do I make the changes permanent? I still cannot print page one first on multi-page print requests. The only time I was able to disable the Advanced printing features, it did not print at all. What is wrong with this software??

Permission changes won't take effect

Using 10.4.11 on my iMac, I'm trying to change permissions for my iTunes folder (and many others). It's in Users>MBP>Music, having been moved from a previous user. I went into Get Info, unlocked it, switched it to MBP for read/write, and clicked "Apply to Enclosed Items."
The red blocked symbol remains. What have I left out? Or what else might interfere with this?

Great to hear, It's great software!

HT1918 I'm trying to change my CC on iTunes and it gives me an error saying that the info doesn't match my banks info. But it's the same card I had on there before. Then took it off and now it won't take it again. Grrrr. Does anyone know what's up?

I changed my Apple ID and password and my ipad won't take the change

I changed my Apple ID and password and my ipad won't take the change

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

When I select a local phone number my iphone 4 tries to send an email only and won't ring the number. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

When I select a local phone number from my contacts, the iphone 4 won't ring the number, instead it tries to send an email. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

Thanks for the reply, good try, I thought of that myself and made sure of that this morning, but that is already all done, and as it happens, the contacts are exactly the same as in our other phone (3GS) which works perfectly, but the iphone 4 won't dial ANY local number, instead it tries to send an email. EVERY TIME. most frustrating. I am really trying to work out if there is a setting somewhere (like the area code etc) or if this is a warranty issue.
Thanks again for trying to help!

ITunes slow with Vista? Change power setting on notebook

My iTunes was very very slow. Scrolling, resize the window, scroll artwork was painful slow
Yesterday I found that my power setting was "balanced (DELL recommended)". I change the power setting to "max performances" and my iTunes became very fast! Scrolling the database and coverflow are very smooth!
I'm very happy!
If iTunes in your notebook are slow change the power setting

Sadly that destroys battery life and is not an option to everyone, especially when running on battery power.

You have a HDD problem (hopefully you have a backup). Start with the information on this support article:

Network security change to WPA2 won't take

Hi all, I am getting a very low airport signal strength and am concerned other neighbors are using my connection. I am using a mac mini OS 10.4.11 with a wireless Belkin54g 802.11g router. In system pref. I noticed that there seems to be "none" security on the network, and when I try to add a WPA2 password for more security, it accepts the changes. However, when I then try to connect to my network, it asks if I want to join the "belkin54g" -which is mine, and it connects automatically without asking for the password I created. Furthermore, I can see that the security setting changes when I connect from WPA2 personal to "none" again. How can I simply add security to this network and be confident that others without the password can't join?
Thanks for any help on this.
Joe

In addition to Fortuny's correct advice, I'd suggest giving your router a distinctive name, so that it is easier to recognize as being your own.
The low signal strength would normally not be an indication of your router being used by others. You might need to change the channel number of your router so that it is not trying to use the same band as the other routers in your neighborhood. Normally you need to get 3 channel numbers away from other users to minimize interference.
You can use this program:

to determine which channels are being used by routers in your immediate neighborhood.

HT204053 How do I override payment info. It won't take it VERY frustrated others I've talked to say they didn't have to do this step to set up apple ID

How do I override payment info. It won't take it anyway Very FRUSTRATING. Others I've talked to did not have to do this to activate apple ID.

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

My about:config changes for zoom won't take

Changing the following:
toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues
from
0.3,0.5,0.67,0.8,0.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.33,1.5,1.7,2,2.4,3
to
0.3,0.5,0.67,0.8,0.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.33,1.5,1.7,2,2.4,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
and
zoom.maxPercent
from
300 to 1000
but when I exit, the changes do not take. Upon restarting FF the old values are present.

Do you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that might revert this change?
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Sed an iPad from someone and I want to go into App Store to update apps, but when I click on the update button, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine?

I purchased an ipad from someone and i set up my apple id for it but when i go to the app Store to update apps, i click on the update button for an app, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

Bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?

I bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it by connecting it to my computer and pressing the home and sleep buttons at the same time, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?
When I try connecting it to my computer itunes opens and says I cannot connect to the ipod because it is disabled, enter passcode on ipod. The ipod is locked and disabled and will not allow me to try and put in a passcode, which I wouldn't be able to do because I have no idea what it might have been.
I downloaded the newest version of Itunes, restarted computer, connected ipod, nothing, held every button down for what seems like forever, nothing. I think I have been screwed by the pawnshop. Is there anyway of restoring this thing or is now just a $60.00 paperweight?

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?
