X201 USB becomes unresponsive during Win7 Install
This is crazy!
Here's the lowdown....
I recently purchased an X201 Laptop (Type 3680-FZ3 / Product ID 3680FZ3) and from the factory it had a 32 bit version of Win7 Pro. So, with my 8GB of ram installed, it would only address 2.93GB.
Sucky, but easily resolved, I want to install Win7 x64, something I have done HUNDREDS of times in my carrer as a Technician.
The basics:
Removed OEM Intel 80gb SSD with win7 x86 installed
Brand new, blank intel SSD installed (240GB)
bios updated to the latest version available on Lenovo's site, v1.40 (6QET70WW), all values set to DEFAULT
Used Windows 7 USB tool to image a MICROSOFT PROVIDED ISO of windows 7 pro x64, tool created the USB successfully (16gb Supertalent Express Duo, formatted NTFS)
Plugged into "always on" USB port (yellow)
The issue:
Turned on, Booted to USB, windows says "Loading Windows Files" and makes it through that
Then when the Windows 7 splash screen appears (Starting Windows) the system HANGS completely (caps Lock unresponsive, status light on USB shows idle status)
It hangs right before the colorful windows logo above "starting windows" can appear. Permanently, mynd y0u. Waiting 2+ hours did not help,
Trobleshooting:
Tried installing to another SSD, Samsung EVO 128gb same result
Tried installing my ISO to another USB Stick, SanDisk Cruzer 4gb, same result
Tried burning image to a DVD, then booted using an external USB CDROM, same result
Tried another ISO: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, same result (Checksum of both images is VALID)
Reset bios to default settings *again*, same result
Tried every USB port the x201 has to offer, same result.
Disabled Intel AMT, any security settings, same result
Read through EVERY lenovo Forum post related to the X201, found NOBODY with this same issue.
Read every Google search result, what a treat that was, no solution found
Going the extra mile:
you have the ability to boot the windows 7 install environment Verbosely using F8 during boot. All services/drivers load up.... UNTIL YOU GET TO DISK.SYS. after that, it hangs. Every possible combination of "troubleshooting" leads me here
The realization:
I love this computer... or do I?
Day 3 of trying to figure this out... I think i'm going insane.
I swear I heard the laptop mocking my wife and then it tried persuading my children into taking candy from strangers. Please help...
Hello,
The X201 is a four year old system, so I don't think it was new. Here's how the 3680-FZ3 shipped as originally configured:
i5-540M(2.53GHz), 4GB RAM, 80GB Solid State Drive, 12.1in 1280x800 LCD, Intel HD Graphics, Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN option, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure Chip, Camera, 6c Li-Ion, Win7 Pro 32
My initial thought is to check and see if the new Intel 240GB SSD has updated firmware and, if so, install and see if that makes any difference. I would also suggest using a different brand of USB flash drive, just to rule out any possible incompatibility issues with the drive in question.
I seem to recall that some models of USB flash drive enumerate as mass storage devices (Base Class 0x08) but use atypical subclasses to show up as a HDD, etc., which can cause some problems with BIOS/UEFI firmware that expects the bootable USB device to be a removable storage container subtype (optical drive, typical USB flash drive, etc.). I believe the Windows 7 Pro x64 files fit on a 4GB USB flash drive, althought not with much room to spare.
Failing that, you might just want to try burning the ISO to a DVD±R and using that to install. If problems persist at that point, I'd suspect a corrupt .ISO image.

T500 Win7 install gone haywire!
I did a Win7 32-bit Ultimate OS install from OEM disk on my T500 2081 CTO today (was advised to do this as being safer and less troublesome than Win7 upgrade) - but all the information was just archived as a windows.old folder on the C: drive - some 30Gb - (not sure if Vista OS is there too, I didnt go through all the subfolders) and also the original hd partition is still there from the Lenovo factory Vista OS install;
SW_Preload C:, Lenovo Q: SERVICE003 S: partitions, the latter two still seem to contain what they had before the Win7 OS install.
I recognize some software on the Q: drive as certain preinstalled programmes, but most of it is gibberish to a neophyte like me. Have no clue what the S: drive is all about. I didnt reformat the HD before doing the Win7 install, I was informed Win7 would do that itself during the install.
Do I reformat to clean the HD and start over with the Win7 install? How do I that?
Next; Do I need to partition the HD during Win7 install to prepare for a reinstall of all the updated Win7 compatible Lenovo software? If so, how do I do that?
Is ThinkVantage 4.0 the first Lenovo-specific software to be installed after Win7?
Will TV 4.0 recognize and download all the additional Win7-compatible Lenovo-specific software I need for my model or do I need to do separate installs of all these afterwards?
I need some help here....
Thanks,
OleWell, I'd think that a NEW MacBook wouldn't need a firmware update, but if it does...
check here for info about firmware updates: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303364
Also, make sure you run a Software Update (from the apple menu). If you're lucky any needed updates will come from that, but i DO remember installing firmware updates on my iMac and Macbook Pro that I had to download manually. If necessary, you can go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and do a search for "macbook firmware".
Just make sure you download Macbook updates and not Macbook Pro updates.
The firmware update itself should tell you if you actually need it when you try to open it. For example, if I open up "iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.1" on my iMac, I get the message "Your computer's firmware is up-to date...." -
FINDER becomes UNRESPONSIVE during AppleScript runs in 10.6.5
Has anyone experiences the Finder becoming unresponsive when running a script in Snow Leopard? We have scripts that push PDFs to an Apple Server (10.4) via SMB or AFP and while the script does run fine- during the last minute of it running, the Finder and the AppleScript become unresponsive for 30-60 sec or so then snap back and finish their job.
This was not happening in Leopard (so they say) to the same Tiger Server
Any Ideas what we may be experiencing? A suggested Fix? is 10.6.7 going to resolve this issue with Slow SMB connections?I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged. -
i install windows 8 via boot camp but its corrupt so i recover this by the windows 8 by the help bootable usb which is helping me to install windows 8 but in recovery my osx is formatted automatically now its become a pc how can i install my mac osx again in my mac mini? please help me
If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. -

I just installed latest updates and now itunes becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes
The latest OSX update (Security Update 2013-003) perhaps is breaking itunes. It becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes and I have to force quit it each time.
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time? -
Attaching USB drive causes EX4 to become unresponsive.
Hello, I have tried to setup a usb to nas backup a few times and keep having the same problem. Upon attaching the 4TB usb drive (usb 3.0) to the back of the EX4 the NAS becomes unresponsive. I can no longer access it from the dashboard or the my cloud app on a mobile device. The app says it is offline. The ex4 is on but no drives are spinning. The usb drive is spinning however.
Once, I was able to see the EX4 and the attached USB drive in my file explorer. It showed the USB drive as a share. It said something like "Share 2_1." However the internal folders were not visible. Then the EX4 froze and went unresponsive - which caused me to try and manually shut it down. It did not power down and after making sure no data was being transferred I had to pull the power (as recommended on this forum).
Once I was able to get as far as setup up a USB to NAS backup on the dashboard. I set up the source and destination folders, etc. upon saving the job the EX4 is inaccessible, while the USB drive spins.
What's going on? Is it taking a long time to index the attached drive? Is it not compatible with the USB drive (seagate 4tb external NTFS USB 3.0)?
Any insight or advice would be great. Thanks!By default the EX4 will scan the attached USB share for media. This process takes all the CPU of the EX4 for long periods of time, and can also lead tot he creation of numerous metadata directories in your attached drive. You should turn this off. In addition, if you use the USB drive for backups, the DEFAULT option for the EX4 is to commence backups when the drive is connected. This setting can be turned off in the GUI setup for the backup jobs. In addiiton, in my experience, NTFS drives take more overhead than EXT formatted drives.

I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well to complete the bootcamp installation of Win7 ?
I need some recomendations plz.Hello,
you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?
Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
Background / other symptoms:
The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.

Installed Rosetta now Finder repeatably becomes unresponsive
Last night I migrated applications from my G5 iMac to my new Macbook Pro. Once this was complete I tried to fire up Photoshop I got the notice that I need to install Rosetta which I did.
Now I am having 2 problems:
1.) When I try and fire up Photoshop it bounces a couple times and then unexpectedly quits.
2.) When ever I try and navigate the applications folder Finders CPU usage spikes and becomes unresponsive requiring a relaunch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Peruse Best Practices and Setup new Mac. Then, consider starting over, erasing the HD, reinstalling, and remigrating.

Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?
I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"Hey there,
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
[[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
<br><br>
After you've done this, you could try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Hope this helps!

Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit. ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac. I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER. They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM? My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious. I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated. I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE. Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

Usb 6501 unresponsive causing BSOD(Blue Screen Error)
There are a lot posts about the same issue but mine is a little peculiar so i decided to post it.
I am using two usb DAQ in the same pc(usb-6501, usb-6001), connected to the usb port on the back. The usb-6501 is used to obtain digital inputs from read switches, Sensors through an ssr. The usb-6001 is used to control 2 double valve solenoid, 1 dc motor, 2 indicator lamps. usb-6001 is also used to read analog values of current(using hall effect sensor) and voltage(using potentiometer).
At first i was facing problems with the usb-6001(the usb-6501 was working fine at this point) resetting during operation accompanied by BSOD. Then i learned it was due to my relay, which requires 30 mA of current to switch so i used the ULN2003a to interface the usb-6001 with the relays and after that the application was running perfectly for 4 days.
Now the usb-6501 is having the same problem and when i perform "Self Test" from NI MAX it shows "Error Code:50405" and i am able to reset the device from NI MAX only sometimes, other times i would have to unplug the USB device then plug it back in. As the application is used for an automated test rig the customer is frustrated by this problem. Once the card becomes unresponsive(or after the card is reset) BSOD occours.
I have checked all the device drivers and OS for any errors but they are fine. i have even tried changing the ram to solve the BSOD with no use.
System Details:
Windows 7 SP1
NI MAX 14.0
power saving is disabled
I have attached the latest mini dump files as they might help in finding out the reason behind this problem(File extensions changed for the purpouse of uploading).
I need to know: Is there any permanent solution for this problem? and what is the reason for this problem.

Thanks for any helpAs has already been pointed out, you've got a lot of junk installed. The biggest problem is likely to be the Intego software, which is far too heavy-handed and is known to devour system resources and cause instability. You definitely need to remove it. Clinging to it simply because you pay for it is simply not logical if it is causing you problems. For less intrusive means of protecting yourself against malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.
You also need to clean out your login items list, which is extensive, and should uninstall any apps you're not using. (I see you have Turbo Tax 2011, for example... since it is now the 2013 tax season, you can probably uninstall the 2011 version at this point.) When uninstalling an app, be sure to use the uninstaller provided by the developer of that app. Do not simply drag it to the trash (unless it was purchased from the App Store), and do not use any general-purpose uninstallers like AppZapper or AppCleaner.
I'd also point out one other thing:

Note the problems that ShareKitHelper is causing. This is a part of the system, but I don't really know what it's for or why it is misbehaving. Something is causing it to hammer your processor and devour RAM, though. This may be an indication of deeper problems with your system, or may clear up after you pare down your overloaded system a bit.
