X230 not aware of AC unplug while in standby
Hello,
I have my power options set up so that the laptop goes into hibernate after 1 hour if it's running on battery, and to never hibernate if it's on AC power.
The problem is that if it's plugged in when I put it in standby/sleep, and remove the AC power later... it will never hibernate.
Shouldn't it be aware that AC power was unplugged while in standby and start the timer for hibernation?
It uses up so much power in standby (1-2% per hour), I would expect it to be able to process such events.
any insight on this?
thanks

Hi again, Vicentiu
I've done some testing myself, and I don't think this is possible, unfortunately. When the system is in sleep or standby mode, then the operating system isn't really running. As such, the operating system does not notice when the AC adapter is removed, since only the hardware registers the change.
I do have a possible workaround for you, though. If you navigate to Control Panel ► Power Options, and then click Change plan settings next to the plan you wish to use, there will be a new window that has an option Change advanced power settings. Click on this link. You should be brought to a window that will allow you to turn off several devices to save power (hard drive, processor, wireless adapter, etc.). This may help you save a bit more power.
Hope it helps,
Adam

X230 not resuming on lid open anymore
My x230 would resume from sleep upon opening the lid, which I liked.
Recently it hasn't been doing that anymore.
I'm not aware of changing any settings.
Any ideas?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.Every once and a while, like when I close and open the lid without waiting too long, it will not wake up. Then I close the lid for a while and open, and it still will not wake up. Then I have to hold the power button down for 10 seconds for it to turn off. Very annoying... I read that the function key helps, I will try that next time... Chris

My ipod was unplugged while upgrading..How do I get sync to show up so I can get all my music back on.
I have a similar issue.
Mine shows in iTunes and in PC. It will also allow me to sync.
But when I do sync, it runs fine for about 10 minutes, then I get an error similar to yours with a directory location. It keeps syncing and will periodically show the errors. Then it will lock up.
I have run chkdsk, awindows utility (chkdsk [driver letter]: /R /F) over the iPod when it has been restored and it found nearly 400mb of bad sectors.
I though this would fix the problem but is has not. When I run chkdsk over it again, it does not find anymore bad sectors (it does however tell me that it has 400mb of bad sectors logged.)
I am banging my head against a wall trying to fix this, or even find out what the issue really is. I assume it is a dodgey hard drive, but I do not want to replace it and still have the problem. -
Mac Mini was unplugged while on. How should I proceed?
My Mac Mini Server edition (2011) was accidentally unplugged while on. It rebooted fine, but I'm a bit paranoid about any unfinished procedures causing cruft in the operating system/hardware. Is there anything I should do to be sure that this incident has not negatively impacted my hardware/software such as resetting the PRAM, PMU etc.?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks."Rapid blackout" shutdown is not good, but OSX performs several "verification checks" at startup just in case there are any incomplete operations ate shutdown. Chances are those procedures were busier than normal during the next startup, but it recovered.
As to the rest of the hardware rapidly shutting down, wait for any signs of issues in my opinion.
In short, you are probably fine. Just keep an eye on it for a day or so.
In addition ... pulled power plug is not the only way to lose power while operating. Blackouts (power out for several seconds) or brownouts (power blinking for a split second) or power dips (power seems always on it dips below the 120 V level) can cause issues.
You can buy a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) that uses bateries to supplement the "power dips" or replace wall power during brownouts and blackouts.
Units sufficient fo a macmini (500 VA units) can be had for $60. -
Iphone 5 Power button not working once in a while?
About 5 times a week, the power button doesn't work. Sometimes I have to press it like 10 times for it to turn on. I brought it to the apple store and they said to bring the phone back to them when it happens again. So today it happend again so I just left my phone alone for the whole day, but before I went to the store, I pressed the power button again, it worked again. SO I cant bring it back to the store!!! Its really annoying when the power button doesnt turn once in a while and I can't exchange my phone at the store because it happens randomly and I have no evidence!
Hi Exageras,
I know exactly what you mean ... it's frustrating when you can't always reproduce the issue ...
I have a few suggestions for you to try ....
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
This article is a good overview, but the section that I specifically want you to look at is ...
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
The steps to Restoring your iPhone if needed, are:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Always backup your iPhone before performing troubleshooting steps.
This article shows you how:
iOS: How to back up
I hope this information gives you a path to resolving your issue.

X230 Not recognizing 4Cell Battery
P/N 0A36305
FRU: 45N1019
Laptop: X230
MT: 2330-A59
4 Cell battery is not being recognized. This is the battery Lenovo identifies as the proper battery. I've tried a 2nd 4 Cell with the same result. I tried both batteries in another X230 with the exact same result.
Thoughts?
JimI understand that an aftermarket battery is not working in the notebook. To be clear, I do not recommend using a non-HP BIOS in the notebook. This would carry a high risk of "bricking" the notebook causing it to become an effective paperweight if it isn't recoverable (not all have a recoverable BIOS). I am also not aware of a BIOS restriction on the battery. For various reasons (mostly hypothetical reasons), the only restrictions in BIOS I have seen is on the internal wifi card and the processor. There have been plenty of success stories of using non-OEM chargers and batteries on HP notebooks, but I suspect this will depend on the aftermarket manufacturer.
What is the full product number of the notebook?

after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text
Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

i connect my iphone to my pc and i tunes open automatically,then i press dowload and update but itunes say am not connected to the internet while my pc is connected to the internet what isi the problem?
If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. -
How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?
I basically managed to learn how to invert parameters which allows me to be as default in the clean guitar channel and if I switch the first button on the midi foot controller I switch to crunch, but at this point I tryied so hard to programm the second and third button to switch, only through a button in one step, to a third channel for distorsion or a 4th channel for solo guitar but I couldn't figured out how this work can be done!
I would appreciate if anyone could help or share this experience with others who are experiencing the same problem.
Cheers.
F.I cannot seem to get mainstage to recognize my FCB either. I am using IFCB. Anyone figure this out?
Thanks,

The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?
Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

MSA 4.0 SP8 : Campaign description not updated in real time while saving?
with reference to this thread : refresh/update a list , I prefered creating my own instead of upping the older one
So the problem deals with data refreshing, or data updating into the objects :
When creating a campaign, after saving, the campaign description seems not to be updated. While we can see the right value we just entered,
- in the Campaign Search menu, the description is either empty (upon creation of a new campaign) or displays the old value if the description was modified.
- we have a Crystal report based on the campaign details (among other things), and the Description field (linked to the same datasource) is either empty or has the old value.
All is back to normal if we go to the Search menu, search the Campaign and open it.
Also, when creating a new campaign, and after saving (so there would be the Description bug), right-clicking on the tile and selecting the "Refresh All" option, it displays the campaign displayed before choosing to create a new one.
What is happening ? The controls involved are still standard, so is the "Refresh bug" a known one ? (I am comforting in this idea since i found the thread linked at the beginning)
Thanks and Regards,
FrançoisHi,
this is a well-known issue of 4.0 (I remember that I have read that this should be changed in 5.0 by defining a specific relation type for BO relations).
The detail tile is based on business object data but the search list is based on a record set retrieved by the search.
For all linked fields/properties there is an automatic refresh but NOT for data which is stored in a dependent object.
In your example campaigns are stored in BO BOCAMPAIGN with underlying IDES table smopccampn but the campaign short texts are stored in a separate object using table smopccamna.
Unfortunately this is a very technical explanation but at least it is one...:-))

I believe that my iPhone or apple ID has been hacked into. Three imessages were sent from my phone that I did not type or send - two while I was asleep at 1:15am and in the morning during an iMessage conversation. These messages were to my boyfriend about my boss. Apple and AT&T have been somewhat helpful but both are pointing fingers at the others saying they cannot track the message or see if my personal information has been compromised. I feel extremely violated because this hacker knows who my boyfriend is and who my boss is and I just started this job two weeks ago! I am about to go to the police because this person is trying to taint my good reputation and destroy my relationships at work and in my personal life. Does anyone have any incite on how this could be done and is there any way to trace where those three iMessages were generated from??
No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID. But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me? It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send

My tel Goes after 10 minutes offline, apears à enige Apple, and i have to unlock again. People are not able to call me while THE Apple apears. Question what can be THE solution ?? It is à 3GS tel iOS 4.2.1
Hi Richard,
You mentioned that 'Apple put the AirPrint spec out there for all printer makers'. I've been looking around but I haven't found any spec. Where did you find it?
Do printer makers have to buy a license in order to be able to advertise that they've implemented the AirPrint protocol? Is there maybe an Apple review process in place?
TIA

FI-AP Tax Code not considering the excise duty while calcuating the VAT
Sub: A/P Tax Code not considering the excise duty while calcuating the VAT
Hi Frnds.
I have a typical problem.
Till now we are using a "W6" as a tax code, where Excise-10%, Ed Cess-2%, SEd Cess-1% and VAT-4%.
But as the Govt. rules changed I have created a new tax code "W8" by copying the W6 and modified the VAT to 5% by changing the condition record JVRD.
The new tax code is not calculating VAT part correctly. It is taxing into consideration Invoice Base value, Ed Cess & SEd Cess (Omiting the Excise Duty).
I have checked my Tax Procedure, there everything is fine. Even my old tax code "W6" is working correctly.
Let me know where the error lies.
Here is the scenario
00. Tax code - W6 - W8 - Current Staus of W8
01. Invoice Base - 355181 - 351798 - 353324 (by SAP Document Simulation View)
02. Excise @ 10% on 01. - 35518 - 35180 - 35332
03. Ed Cess @ 2% on 01. - 710 - 704 - 707
04. SEd Cess @ 1% on 01. - 355 - 352 - 353
05. VAT @ 4% on (010203+04) - 15671 - 0 - 0
05. VAT @ 5% on (010203+04) - 0 - 19401 - 0
05. VAT @ 5% on (010304) - 0 - 0 - 17719
INVOICE TOTAL VALUE - 407435 - 407435 - 407435
Pls. let me know how to come over the issue.
By the way I am using the above tax code at FB60 transaction code.
Regards
Krishna

Acutually we planned to implement SAP - FI & MM Modules only, and all the configuration is done in the system, but at the final stage our management is not satisfied with MM area, so finally we have gone live with only FI Moudle.
By the way thankyou for the reply. I have maintained 100% in JMX1 for the new tax code and it is working fine.
I will give you full points.
Once again thanks a lot.
