X1C Windows 8 WiFi Shortcut Button

I have been trying to get my new X1 Carbon working as I want and am trying to customise the Connections shortcut button (Fn+F5). Currently, it functions the same as the hardware rocker on the side in that it makes the computer enter flight mode. What I would really love is for the connections sidebar to pop-up (like the display options shortcut Fn+F7).
Does anyone know how I can change this? (I don't have Lenovo Settings despite having purchased a Win8 machine. I think this is due to the fact that I upgraded to Pro...)

Hello Eosphoros!
I have tried many things to find the shortcut for the connections charm bar, no matter what I put as the shortcut the network connections window opens in desktop mode. I am very curious to find a shortcut for the network function as well. When/If I do I will definitely let you know.
Here are the steps create a hard shortcut in Windows 8 by:
Use the [Win-Logo]+[D] to see the
Windows-8 desktop.
Click the right mouse button on the Windows-8 desktop and
select "New" "Shortcut". Then in the called input box simply enter
the appropriate shortcut text (found under the properties of the desired program)
Once a desktop shortcut is made, right click the shortcut, press properties and shortcut key replace none withe key or key combination you would like to use.
Then Pin the Desktop Shortcut to Start (Menu).
To do this right click on the desktop shortcut and select "Pin to Start"
You can find the Official Windows 8 shortcuts here.

  • Itunes causes Windows Vista  Explorer shortcut buttons to misbehave

    Hi,
    I've been observing some strange phenomena on my Windows Vista which my wife recently correlated to running ITunes. I'm pretty sure she is right about ITunes being the cause.
    When ITunes has been running for a while, the shortcut buttons at the bottom of the screen (one for each running application) end up being drawn shifted, such that the rightmost one appears UNDER the circular icon with the Window's logo flag (the "start" button), but the actual button is still in it's correct place. The result is is that when you click on a button, it activates an adjacent application!
    Furthermore, when I start ITunes, I get a notification that Quicktime is out of date. The warning reads: "Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." with "Cancel" and "DoItNow" buttons. When I click the DoItNow button, I then get another message: "Information received from the Quick Time server is invalid. Please try again later."
    I am running ITunes 7.5.0.20.

    Lets break this down step by step.
    In your first question you say that when itunes is running for a while it shifts the buttons on the task bar.  when this happens you have to unlock the task-bar and manually fix the task bar.
    Right click the task bar and select unlock task bar
    Fix the task bar
    And then right click the task bar again and select lock the task bar.
    If it helps you might need to close itunes to fix this problem.
    (Note itunes 7.5 has a lot of problems in it hopefully the next itunes update will resolve this.)
    Your next question states that when you try to up date quick time you get a message saying that the"Information received from the Quick Time server is invalid. Please try again later."
    The best way to fix this is to download the installer files off of the apple website and install them.
    Here is the link to the quicktime installer.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Download and install the installer which is the updated version of quick time
    (There is an option to download both itunes and quick time )
    (Quick time version 7.3.1) (If you redownload itunes the version is 7.5)
    Hope this helps,

  • I updated to Firefox 5, "about Firefox" shows the new version in the browser window, but my shortcut buttons still show "Firefox 4.0 Beta 10"

    I updated to Firefox 5, under the help button in the browser "about Firefox" shows the new version, but my shortcut buttons on my monitor still show "Firefox 4.0 Beta 10". Most updates also update the shortcut buttons. Is there a way I can do this?

    I just updated to Firefox 5. About Firefox shows me no version number at all. I had to look at Help > Troubleshooting Information to see the version number.
    Update: I saw the version number after changing themes. I guess it depends on what theme you use.

  • Suddenly getting message that my system doesn't support final cut. this is after hooking up an external lacie hard drive and downloading a new lacie shortcut button software. i had also safe started the computer.

    I am suddenly getting an error message when i try to start up final cut pro 7. it won't let me anymore, saying i don't meet system requirements. this started after I hooked up my lacie external drive and found the shortcut button to not be working properly. i then turned off my computer and safe started it. that didn't help. so i downloaded a new lacie shortcut button software. then i could no longer start final cut. also, my screen shots on my desktop appear blank when i try to open them now.

    if your using the Lacie as a scratch drive for Final Cut, uninstall the backup software and blue button control utility to use the drive properly to save and read media files.
    Lacie blue button drives are for automated backup and dont perform with FCP
    see this from Lacie on uninstalling the preference utility:

    After installing Mavericks I can no longer save a new word document or pdf by typing the name of the destination folder in the Finder window.  The save button greys out.  Solutions anyone?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
    I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • Macbook Shortcut buttons not working

    I don't know what happened today, but my shortcut buttons (F1 - F4) that usually control the screen brightness and volume stopped working - pressing them by themselves won't change the volume, but if I hold down the function button and press the buttons though, then I can still change the brightness and volume. Does anyone know how to change it back to the buttons work without having to hold down function?

    Go into system preferences, go to keyboard and mouse, under the keyboard section, make sure to un-check the box to use Fn keys for shortcuts.

  • Agents unable to perform Call Transfer using the shortcut button

    Hello All,
    We are facing this same issue for the last 3 days, any help will be truly appreciated.
    Scenario : When customer calls in, Few agents are unable to do call transfer using the shortcut button on the CAD Interface. however when this fails they still can manually transfer the call by entering the number as a work around.
    This is not happening for all agents and for those this is happening it happens intermittently. What could be the reason. please guide.

    This def sounds like an MTP issue.. Are you using software MTP or hardware MTP's on the gateways? I suggest using Software session on the gateways as it won't use DSP and will allow for much more the CUCM itself can support...
    Pretty good chance this is the issue...

  • Just tried to open iTunes, it won't, and I'm getting a blank window with an OK button. When I press the OK button, iTunes closes. what is going on?

    Have just tried to open iTunes, and I get a blank window (no dialogue, just a blank window) with an OK button. When I press OK, it closes down (not having opened anything) and shuts down. I've tried opening while holding down the option key, as I would to open with a new iTunes folder, and I"m getting the same empty window with an OK. Very frustrating, has anyone seen this, and can anyone help?  Thanks in advance,  Kate

    so, I called a friend who's more experienced than I am. He walked me through some steps, checking iTunes and we got the same dialogue -free window with the OK button. We then uninstalled iTunes, downloaded it afresh, and it opened with no problems. Seems to all be there, music, tv, etc. Not sure what the issue was, but it has stopped this problem.
