Checked the bios tried in COMPAT AND AHCI modestill the same, changed the boot up selection, still the same
hey sxmccr,
have you tried updating the BIOS for your unit ? Currently the X220 is at 1.21 and was released on Sept 7, 2011.

Do an update of your BIOS , though i would recommend updating everything.

"Error loading operating system" in Boot Camp/VMWare OK
Hi, I'm getting "Error loading operating system" followed by the pc blinking _
when I try to boot directly into Windows XP Pro using the option key at startup now w/ Boot Camp. But the partition works fine when using VMWare Fusion from within Mac OS X.
It used to work fine booting both into boot camp and VMWare. Any ideas, I'm pretty stumped here....
Thanks!
Message was edited by: djohnsto77Yes I am sure I've read of others, but on VMware Fusion forum.

Boot Camp "Error loading operating system" error
When I try to boot into Windows XP via boot camp I get "Error loading operating system"
The partition still works fine with VMWare.
Any suggestions?Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and I am being subjected to additional password requests and the monitor take store ever to boot up. Approximately 5 mins which is way in excess of previous operating system.
You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck! -
The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.

Hello,
I have a lightswitch web-application in development, which I need to copy from one computer to the other. I have tried doing it both through Git and by simply copying the solution and opening the project on another machine. The project builds without errors,
but when I try to debug it, it opens a web-browser, loads to 100% and pops up an error - Load operation failed for query 'GetAuthenticationInfo'. The remote server returned an error: NotFound.
Now, I have tried repairing Visual Studio on my machine, reinstalling .NET framework and setting <basicAuthentication enabled="false" /> in web.config, yet it still does not run.
When using Fiddler, it shows an error while loading the application - "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" , which I honestly don't know what it means.
The application uses ComponentOne and Telerik modules, but they are both installed on both machines.
The application does run perfectly on the original machine, but it is not working on any other one.
Both machines are using Win 8.1 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.
I have tried to look this up online, but most people's problem are when they are deploying the app, not just debugging. I would be really happy for any help with this issue.
Thanks!I have the same problem on one of my development machines. Whenever I create a new project, the System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt nuget package is not referenced properly. The project compiles correctly but you are not able to debug as I get the same error
as you.
If you open up your references and there is an error next to any of your references make sure that you correct them. In the case of the jwt reference error, I have to remove the jwt reference and then add it back from the packages folder.
This may not be your problem but could point you in a direction? -
Tribute to the windows line of operating systems.
We are thinking of doing a tribute to the windows line of operating systems in our college (Nath Valley, Aurangabad , Maharashtra, India) for our annual software and technology exhibition. We wated to display landmark edition of windows such as MS DOS ,
Ver. 3.1 , Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows XP. We are unsure of where we will be able to source these operating systems . Please suggest any method in which we could display these operating systems using emulators ( as we may not be able to get drivers
for the hardware - that is compatible with these operating systems) .
Please inform whether these operating systems can be available and also the procedure for installing these operating systems.
Please contribute to this project of ours to help highlight the evolution of operating systems and pay tribute to the windows line of operating systems. Your advise would be crucial towards the progress of the project.
Thanks a lot for reading it through.....Please contribute.
Please mail your suggestions to - [email protected]Parth,

What's the meaning of "Parallel Operating System" and "Parallel Desktop"?
What's the meaning of "Parallel Operating System" and "Parallel Desktop"?
Also, what is Boot camp? Are they all the same?Boot Camp installs Windows directly on your Mac so you reboot your system to switch between OS X (the "Mac" experience) and Windows if you need to use it for any reason.
The problem with boot camp is that you cannot use your Mac applications along with any that require Windows, so companies like Parallels have developed "virtualization" programs that allow you to install Microsoft Windows within OS X and run Windows inside of your Mac instead of "next" to it as is the case with Boot Camp. You open the program and boot a Windows installation that loads in a separate window, all while you have Safari, the OS X Finder, Mail, Calendar, and other programs on your Mac still running in the background.
In this regard, the benefit of Parallels Desktop and similar applications is that they allow you to run a Windows program alongside those for OS X so you do not interrupt your workflow in order to reboot to Windows and use them. -
Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?
Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported?
My computer is running Windows 7 - 64-bit. I have the latest softwear on both my iPhone and my iPad. I have installed Edge Inspect on these devices and have the Google Chrome edge inspect extension installed. I have been able to enter my passcodes for both devices in the Chrome extension. Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported just yet?
This is VERY interesting ... even though I got that strange message, once I linked my iPhone and my iPad to the Google extension, it worked! Whatever I display in Google Chrome automatically displays in the Edge Inspect app on the small devices. This is neat! The only problem that I can see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about how to use the application.
