X301 New OS question

I bought my X301 before they sold them with the Windows 7 Upgrade coupon things and mine came with Vista. I upgraded to 7 when it came out and it never worked very well as the Thinkvantage button never worked and I lost out on some other features. 
I have noticed my SSD is having terrible performance now and was curious if I sent it back to Lenovo under the EasyServ if they would install Windows 7 and do all of the BIOS updates?  
Solved!

I do not understand your question completely, I am guessing that you bought a OEM/Retail Window 7 and installed it? There is nothing wrong with it, and from the four X301 I have owned, it is much better than IMHO than the lenovo supplied recovery discs.I have both your setup (XP/vista) and have the upgrade discs during that period to upgrade to window 7.
The X301 is not under the enhance experience so there would be no difference between normal window 7 and lenovo supplied window 7 recovery discs (for X301).
What you may need to do is to download lenovo software update and install all the latest drivers and utility to bring it back to all the features you want. Obviously there is no blue button recovery function so you would need to use window 7 built in backup software to save your system image, burn a CDROM for recovery, and so on.
The SSD could be suffering from no garbage collection, have you tried running the TRIM/garbage collection software from the manufacturer? Eg Intel and samsung should have their own tools.

    I am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad.  I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id.  I have tried logging into my apple id and have chosen the security and priviacy settings to set up security questions.  However I am prompted to enter answers to security questions and am told they don't match.  How to I create new security questions or reset them? 

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • New Guy Question about Name Changes from Logical to Relational

    Sorry for the "New Guy" question. I am trying to do this the way I wished it worked rather than the way it does.
    Lets say I have an Entity named "Current Database" with an Attribute named "Current Database Name". All this is in plan english for the Logical Model. Now when I generate the Relational Model I would like the Table named "CDCD_CURRENT_DB" and the column named "CURRENT_DB_NAME".
    I have been working with a Glossary and some other features trying to get this to work. It kind of does but I do not fully get it and I think I am missing out on much of the power of the product. I have been forcing the Nickname "CDCD" (As we call it) and the "Database" to "DB" in the "Preferred Abbreviation" of the Entity.
    I am working with v3.3.0.734
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Sky13,
    it can be done with glossary but it looks to me what you want is not that native to glossary approach.
    it's good to look here for basics http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/datamodelernamingstandards-167685.pdf
    Example here also could be useful if you want to go with glossary - Re: Data Modeler: Naming
    If you want to use preferred abbreviation then it should be CDCD_CURRENT_DB.
    For me CDCD_ is just a prefix - you can handle it separately in relational model - on whole model, on subview and in both cases classification types also can be used to determine how objects are prefixed.
    You don't want Current to be abbreviated then do not put it in glossary however you need to check "Incomplete modifiers" check box in glossary.
    Entity property "Short name" goes to table abbreviation during engineering. There is a transformation script which will prefix table columns with table abbreviation if you need it. And another one can remove the prefix.
    You can define plural name in glossary and if entity name is a single word then plural will be used during name translation.

  • How do I get new security questions if I dont have a rescue email

    how do I get new security questions if I dont have a rescue email  

    Hello marquart33,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your security questions.  I found an article with some useful information if you cannot remember the answers to your security questions:
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    You can find the full article here:

    If you continue to have issues, please contact our Account Security Team as outlined in this article:

  • When I enter my password to purchase a song, I need to create new security questions. Whenever I finish making thm and submit them, a box says "An error has occurred. We could not save your changes." How do I make it go away?

    When I enter my password to purchase a song, I need to create new security questions. When I finish writing them out and I hit submit, a box comes up with the words: "An error has occurred. We could not save your changes." What does that mean and how do I make it go away?

    Potentially the issue may be the combination of actual distance and the presence of any Wi-Fi interference at the location of the AirPort Express that may be the culprit here. The bottom line is you would want the Express to be within a 25+ dB range of the Extreme to be sure that it can consistently stay connected to it.
    For more details on proper base station placement, check out the following AirPort User tip. Please post back your results.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing the number for Apple  in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Can't choose new security questions?

    When I upgraded to iOS6, I got the message to create three new security questions to improve Apple ID Security. I can't download any new apps now because of this message. However, when I click on Continue to set them, it asks for my password then takes me to a browser page with three items: Choose Question and Answer for each. You can't choose a question as there is no link to do so. You can only enter an answer and when I enter three answers and choose submit, I get a session timed out response. Three times.
    I haven't been able to fine anywere online to enter these questions either. On my account, there is still just one security queston and no option to add others. Anyone found a solution to this yet?
    Thanks

    This is FRUSTRATING me on iPad.
    As fast as can input answers to Security Question it always times me out.
    Cannot download apps.
    Saving me money but not happy.
    This happened straight after downloading iOS6.

  • I CAN NOT DOWNLOAD APPS DUE TO NEW SECURITY QUESTIONS

    I am using my Ipad for months, suddenly I am forced to add supplemental email, phone number, and three security questions before i caqn use apple store.
    I do not wish to do any of these procedures??

    Hi all.
    The iTunes Store asks you to answer your security questions the first time you purchase an item from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that you haven’t used before.
    If you have trouble answering at least two of the security questions, you may be abe to reset the questions at
    http://appleid.apple.com and follow these steps:
    1. Click the "Manage your account" link
    2. Enter your Apple ID and password then click "Sign in"
    3. Click "Password and Security" on the left
    4. Enter your new security questions and answers then click Save
    5. Click Sign Out in the upper right-corner of the site
    If you are still unable to answer after doing so, contact support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/
    I hope this helps.
