• Lenovo L440 will not docking station during bios monitor display

  I have a Lenovo L440 portable dock with a think pad pro. The HARD drive is encrypted with TrueCrypt and needs a password before windows starts. The laptop will not display on the monitor attached to the dock before loading windows. I changed the bios Config setting > display > display device boot, as well as all the other options display, but it does make a difference. I tried with a VGA cable and a DVI cable, and no work. I tried with 2 different L440s and 2 docking stations with the same problem on both product. I used a laptop Lenovo L540 with success the same model of docking station. I also updated to the latest version of the bios.

  I wonder if I'm missing something or if simply, L440 model does not support this feature?

  The hotline of Lenovo was not able to help.

  The motherboard had to be replaced on the two L440s to fix this problem.

• System preferences icon has replaced the dock

  Hi all

  I have a strange behavior with the dock in macOS Sierra, especially with the "System Preferences" icon After you open the system preferences application, the icon was his suddenly replaced by another icon (see image below). It looks like a Doc App icon?

  

  I tried to remove the 'System Preferences' app to the dock and put new in. It's OK for a while, but something after a few hours or days, the icon has been replaced by the "Doc App" icon again? !!

  Is there anyone who has this strange behavior?

  Thank you

• Does not open the system preferences of the Apple menu

  Anyone know of a good solution for this?

  A few weeks ago I started noticing that I couldn't open my application system preferences in the Apple Menu bar (via the Apple logo > system, or via the WiFi icon Preferences > network, or even Preferences by right-clicking on the desktop to change the desktop background, etc.).

  WHAT WORKS:

  I can open the system preferences if I click directly on the application icon or you try to open it from the dock.

  I can open the app in the Apple menu if I register as another user.

  WHAT DOES NOT WORK:

  The problem does not go away when I restart in mode 'start '.

  The problem does not go away when I run disk utility.

  The problem does not go away when I remove the "Finder" and "System Preferences".plist file in the Preferences folder in the user's library.

  The problem does not go away when I remove the files "Preferences panel" bury of the Cache in the user's library folder.

  The problem does not go away when I zap the PRAM.

  The problem does not go far if I replace the system preferences application from a recent backup.

  I was about to just try and re-install the MacOS, but thought I would try the forums first, since the Apple Support site said that it should not be necessary if the problem is only limited to a user's profile. I found a lot of entries in the forums for this issue dated a few years ago and have tried most of the solutions, but I don't think that you can repair the permissions of the disc more on El Capitan.

  Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

  Given all of the things you tried that don't work, over time it would take to troubleshoot more, you could restore OS X in 45 minutes to an hour on a broadband connection using OS X Recovery.

  Start your Mac while pressing the command + R keys. From there, you should be able to access the built in utility to verify and repair the disk from startup (if necessary) and OS X using OS X recoveryof restoration.

• Why my system preferences does not open?

  

  Hey guys! I posted my system specs before you start.

  Anywho, after a fresh clean install of OSX El Capitan (because my iMac crashed recently and I had to wipe my hard drive completely... Yes, there was a lot of tears), like, literally yesterday, I can't open my system preferences. As I click on the sign of the Apple at the top left, then go to System Preferences...

  This is what happens...

  The small system preferences icon bounces just bounces... bounce... and then... nothing... to frikkin' ever. I have to force it to quit. I try again and again, same thing. So, I go in Applications run in 32-bit mode, try again and guess what? Celestial tracks. No problem... UNTIL I try to choose an option, any option, and he ALWAYS tells me it need to restart System preferences to open whatever it is, then proceeds to give me spinwheel thing... and then crashes and I have to force quit... again.

  So, I suppose, in 64-bit and 32-bit, it does not work properly. And Yes, for the love of God, I already tried the delete your whole com.apple.systempreferences.plist, but also the other things that other forums will tell you to remove in system preferences.

  Note: another issue, I felt at the same time, it's that for the life of me I can't Time Machine to notice my external hard drive. I tried updating all the disks on my external hard drive, repair permissions, first aid, USB 3.0 update, power cycling, rebooting with alt + cmmnd + P + R, single-user mode, fcsk, safe mode, most first aid,... like, what the hell is happening? Laughing out loud

• X 60/X 61 does not start in docking stations

  Hello world

  I just got another strange problem: two laptop computers (X 60 and X 61) are not
  Boot (Win XP) in their docking stations: after the XP Logo screen display

  stays black and there is no activity on the HDD (I waited for approximately

  30 min); I also tried to start inside without a docking station

  If you disconnect the laptop and start them out docking stations they
  startup (Win XP) fine. When the logon screen is displayed that you can put back them
  in docking stations and work with them as usual without any problems.

  Is there a special driver to be installed or what should I do?

• not able to put auto unlock option is not available in system preferences

  Update the end of 2015 to macOs Sierra iMac.

  Updated the Apple Watch at WatchOs3

  Removed the two steps of authentication and improved to two-factor authentication.

  Tried to set up the Auto Unlock in preferences/security system & Privacy panel.

  However, the "Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac" option does not appear in the Panel.

  What other hoops should I go through to get this feature going? Thanks in advance for the help...

  The prices your Apple Watch the Mac on the same network Wi - Fi?  Sometimes the shows may use another network - its s trying to find a network, if the iPhone is not available.

  Is your set watch in place with an access code?

  Once you have changed your two-factor authentication, you disconnect from iCloud and vice versa, on the matched iPhone and Mac?

  See the specs here: automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

  Use Auto unlock with any Mac and Apple Watch that satisfies the requirements of continuity system:

  • Apple Watch (1st generation), Apple Watch series 1 or series 2 Apple Watch using iOS 10
  • Mid-2013, or more recent Mac using macOS Sierra

  Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

  • Your Mac has Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled.
  • Your identifier Apple is using two-factor authentication.
  • Your Mac and Apple Watch are connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
    On your Mac, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.
    On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to general > Apple ID.
  • Your Apple Watch uses a password.
    On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then type the access code.
  • Your Mac has "allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" selected in Security & Privacy preferences.

• Since one or two weeks, the docking station settings are not saved. When I restart the computer, the dock is not finished because he was and is located at the bottom and not left

  The parameters of the dock in the system prefs not saved. When I restart the computer, the dock is always located at the same place (bottom) even if I changed before. I have mac os X 11 5 on a mac pro (mid-2010).

  In the case where all third party apps, anti virus are installed, remove them. Click go > hold down the option key and don't release > click library > Preferences find com.apple.dock.plist, com.apple.systempreferences.plist and right click on them and move to the trash.

  The apple logo reboot and empty the trash.

• Why open system preferences for the additional hours of bad screen

  Why the preferences system not open to the main screen. When I click on it and open the system preferences, it goes directly to the security and privacy, every time. It still works perfectly well. I can always click on the upper left button to return to the main screen. It is really annoying that he began to do this.

  I started doing after that I had to change some of the parameters for sharing so that I can get remote access to the work of this Macbook Air to my iMac at home when they are on separate networks.

  Im not sure what triggered the system preferences to do this, but the only reason why I ever went to this screen was to check some settings of the firewall. I don't change not even nothing in there, nor I have stayed there when I closed the system preferences. Nevertheless, I know has this annoying problem.

• Tecra M10 - 17 H no support DVI via docking station not

  There is already a message asking this, but I wanted to point out that it is a problem affecting more than one user.

  Too, I bought a Toshiba laptop for my business as it was supposed to be a laptop a serious matter. However, I must say that I am losing confidence that Toshiba understands what needs a company.

  The docking station is frankly a joke. USB KVM will not work with it, probably, there is no PS2 port you can not use a KVM PS2 instead. Even if you could, the VGA dock does not detect the external VGA is present when there is a KVM. Of course, the answer is "simply" open up the laptop and set it up on the Panel, then switch to external whenever you turn it on. How can anyone think that is a response in a business, or any other environment is beyond me.

  Now, I find that my laptop has an Intel graphics card I can't use the DVI port on the dock either. Which is really annoying, is that I could buy a laptop at half price, but wouldn't because I wanted a laptop class business that disintegrates not in respect of the use. I didn't pursue a fantastic graphic option because I did not doing anything fancy either, but graphics without the supported DVI via the dock is just simply ridiculous.

  Now, I regret bitterly, to get rid of the old Dell D/Dock that although several years worked without fault and with DVI, with any old KVM and without any problems at all.

  Sorry for the mug shot, but I am bitterly disappointed that I bought a cheap puppy that I can't afford to write off for a good while yet. Meanwhile despite works well when it works, the laptop is a right royal pain to use when the dock is therefore unnecessary.

  What to tell boyfriend
  Is a really nice laptop Tecra M10 and Portégé series and series Tecra laptop computers Bussines there.

  But it seems that the DVI port on the Port Replicator Port Express is supported only on computers with ATI graphics card or nVidia.

  I found this Toshiba document:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm

  It s on Tecra A9 but maybe that it s a Tecra M10-related too

• can I connect a 5s to a docking station with a Flash 30 adapter to play music with a sound system

  How to connect an iphone 5 s to a docking station that is connected to a sound system to listen to music. Tried with a lightning 30-pin adapter. Sound does not play through the speakers. This method works with my new ipod, but not with the phone.

  Duh. It was too complex. Docking station disconnected and plugged the cord on the plug headphones. Problem solved. But still think that the card should work.

• Audio port Ultra Dock docking station does not

  I have a laptop ThinkPad X 240 with Windows Enterprise 8.1 x 64 installed. His plays very well from the speakers of the laptop, and when I plug in external speakers on the computer portable 3.5 mm audio port, they work very well also.

  But... when the phone is rooted in my Ultra Dock 90W docking station and external speaker cable is plugged into the dock's audio port, there is no sound. If I play music through the laptop speakers, as soon as I plug a cable into the audio port dock, no sound is produced. I can still use the laptop's audio port to connect external speakers, but that defeats the purpose of having an audio port on the Dock Ultra.

  Dock Ultra has (I think) the latest firmware installed (version 2.22.000) and I have the latest audio drivers installed: in Device Manager > sound, video and game controllers > Realtek High Definition Audio > driver version is 6.0.1.7188 which is the last available Lenovo support downloads.

  What should I do to get the Ultra audio port Dock works?

  Kind regards

  / Neil

  PS. apologies - I have wrong posted this message on the map "of tablet computers laptop ThinkPad X series. A moderator can you please remove the post of this Council?

  Hi Nwgarside,

  Welcome to Lenovo Community!

  According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with Audio only works not the Ultra docking with your ThinkPad X 240.

  Did you check different system with docking station / Ultra?

  Check with the ThinkVantage System Update tool, running so that it will update all the required drivers and application of your system.

  I hope this helps.

• No bass when you use the docking station to not probe

  When I use the out port of my docking station (Series edited by moderator) I get no bass sound, just hail my wide range speaker. When the speakers are plugged into the headphone jack directly on the laptop it normal sound, with a full range of sounds. I checked the setting in the CP of its speakers are identified as the range, so this isn't the issue. There is no sound improvement enabled in Control Panel SRS. I'm puzzled. Why no bass when you use the docking station only. I tried two different docking stations with the same result: no bass.

  

  Yes! I finally solved it on my system:

  • Go to the control panel
  • Choose the material and audio

  or simply to display all Control Panel items

  • Select SRS Premium Sound Pro (it's an icon of circle blue/white)
  • Wait for the program to come black EQ
  • Select the tab/words "listening experience" near the top of the window of SRS Premium Sound PRO
  • Uncheck the 'improvement of Audio '.

  Fact

  In addition, there is the graphic equalizer in there that totally works well to further fine tune your desired speaker and the audio preference.
