  • Ideapad Yoga 11 with Windows RT - Issues

    Got my orange Yoga 11 with Windows RT a few days ago here in the UK, and I have to say that initial impressions are very good. No fan at all, barely gets wam, switches on from connected standby almost instantly, and battery life is really impressive. Build quality seems solid - no peeling paintwork, and keyboard is securely fastened, screen is great quality, there's some backlight bleed on the right side, but only visible when at 100% against a black background (i.e. never). There's a bit more flex and 'give' in the screen than I expected, but nothing I can't live with. Wifi signal is also strong and connections don't drop like others are seeing with the Yoga 13.
    So, Windows RT ... still getting used to it, but here are some initial niggles:  there only appears to be one Lenovo RT settings app available in the Store, and it's fairly useless, since all it does is provide a switch to lock/unlock keyboard in different orientations (why?). No Lenovo drivers are available from here either, I guess these all come from Windows Update for the RT model instead?
    The problems I'm having stem from not being able to tweak some system & hardware settings properly because of the above and the need to rely on stock driiver configs, specifically:
    - Keyboard: it can be quite sluggish, and doesn't register repeat letters very well (like in 'tell' or 'soon') at my typing speed. I've never experienced this with any keyboard, nevermind a Lenovo one. The stock keyboard config under Control Panel does nothing to help this - changing the two options for Repeat delay/Repeat rate just make it worse. This is quite annoying, as I really have to slow down my typing speed to get any work done. It would currently be my no. 1 reason for returning it, depending on how I get on with it this week.
    - Touchpad: no options are available to configure it that I can find. No tweaking multi-touch, like 2-finger scroll direction (which is reversed from the normal setting). It can also be very sluggish to respond sometimes, especially for pinch to zoom and similar gestures.
    - Bluetooth: allthough I can pair with e.g. Jamboxes fine enough, the connection is dreadful - constantly skipping and dropping out with any audio source, basically unusable.  The Jamboxes work fine with every other device I own. Again no settings I can tweak here beyond the installation options, and no way to debug the problem.
    Any help or advice with these niggles would be much appreciated, especially the keyboard issue.

    Just to add a few more passing thoughts to this monlogue for anyone who may be thinking of buying this model instead of the 13. 
    When it comes to Windows RT I'm finding myself more surprised every day by what I *can* rather than *can't* do with it.  Partly this is because I thought it would be something closer to a gimped Android or iOS experience.  Here are some things I didn't really expect to be available or usable, and that compare very well to those other OSes:
    - Remote Desktop (& RemoteApps): this really works very nicely, so far if I need quick access to a non-RT app it's a doddle to remote login to a W7 machine. I was expecting this to be too slow to be practical, but actually it's very smooth, and no need to install a separate app (although the Store has a Metro version to complement the desktop UI).
    - Windows Firewall with Advanced Security: I was expecting something dumbed-down, but this is the fully monty, completely configurable when you need it, otherwise less in your face than with W7. The same goes for Windows Defender, also included as standard.
    - Local Group Policy: I'm still surprised this is included, given that it otherwise only comes with W8 Pro.
    - Bitlocker: encrypts your drive by default OOB, no need to manage it at all.
    - Network browsing & sharing: really it's just a doddle to set up, using HomeGroup or just browsing the local network, access to all your network files OOB without installing any apps.
    - PlayTo: again, painless to set up and use, streaming all your media to DLNA devices.
    - Flash support, works just fine, and easy enough to add 'supported' sites to the list.
    - Explorer / File History / Disk management, really the whole suite is there without sandboxing or more apps needed for handling basic tasks.  So refreshing after iOS especially.
    - Admin tools / Powershell: the list of is impressive - full Task Manager, Event Viewer & Performance Monitor all included - and I was delighted to find Powershell in there too, especially since it's finally integrated into Explorer properly. Such a great, under-rated utility!
    - Media support: although I do miss a desktop media player with previews in Explorer, and better codec management, I was surprised by how quickly devs are stepping up to support different media types. Free apps already support mkvs and the like, and a VLC port is planned. I'm optimistic that this will get better.
    So basically, once you get past the point of accepting that you can't install legacy desktop programs or drivers, it's pretty much a solid Windows experience. I think the keyboard & typing speed is now my only major issue ... but I've almost convinced myself I can live with it so probably won't be returning it.
    Thanks for listening.

  • How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

    I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
    color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
    others.

    None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
    could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
    The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
    complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
    to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
    I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
    LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
    very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
    describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
    Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
    there just as enlightening.
    Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
    results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
    then certainly you should employ it.
    I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
    The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
    (too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
    combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
    continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
    was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
    The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
    then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
    equivelant in the fullsize file.

  • Why ('ontouchstart' in window) is false on a touch tablet with Windows 8

    I use Java Script to determine if my Web-Site is running on Tablet touch device
    The device is Assus tablet with windows 8

    Are you assuming that the return value is false because it is not true? According to [https://github.com/phoboslab/Ejecta/pull/173 this], null is sometimes returned instead of true. If false is actually returned, then I would think it is a fault with the tablet's browser. Either that or in the browser's settings there are options to pretend the device is something else (for testing purposes); there is no reason why these should be selected by default though.
    If that's no help then please give us further details (such as the browser you are using).

    2) Perform a virus scanning with an antivirus e.g. Microsoft Security Essentials
    3) Check you computer for performance issues and resolve them (go to Start => type 'Performance Information and Tools' hit Enter, in a new window on the left side click 'Advanced tools' and review the performance issues enlisted (if any).

    I have take pictures from my ipad 4. How to download to my computer with windows operating system conneted through USB cable with out using internet

    Plug your iPad into your computer. THere may be a delay while it installs drivers but if you can see your iPad in windows explorer, use that to get to your photos.
    Click on your iPad and you should see a DCIM folder. Click thorugh that to find your photos.
    Windows explorer will see your iPad as nothing more than a digital camera, and that's the part you're trying to access.

  • How come iTunes is not compatable on my Surface tablet with windows 8?

    I got this tablet and it wasmeant to replace my older laptop. But everytime i try downloading itunes for my phone, it says 'The app cant be run on my PC". This is a huge reason of why  even got the tablet. As i talked to a technician for windows, they said it was up to apple to make it compatible. I was curious when this is going to happen because it not being compatable is a big pain considering how iTunes hold all the info that my iPhone holds.

    Okay, here's what's going on:
    1. The Windows 8 name is actually applied to two operating systems that are designed to look and feel the same- one for your standard "x86" processors like the ones made by Intel and AMD that power most PCs and laptops, and one for "ARM" (and ARM derivitative) processors, like the ones that frequently power tablets and phones.
    2. The x86 Windows 8 devices are backwards compatible with stuff designed for Windows 7 (and Windows Vista, and some Windows XP stuff).  So they'll run itunes, etc..
    3. The ARM version of Windows 8 devices is only compatible with stuff designed for Windows 8 specifically, usually sold through the Windows 8 store and displayed as a tile on the main screen once purchased (The major exception being Microsoft Office, which can run in desktop mode).  This is because stuff designed for Windows 7 and before was compiled for x86 processors, an ARM processor doesn't know what to do with it.
    3. Your Surface RT device is powered by an ARM processor, so you have no backwards compatibility.
    4. Itunes is right now compiled only for x86 processors, and those will only work with Windows 8 machines with x86 processors, which you don't.
    5. Apple may or may not decide to release a version of itunes that's compatible with the ARM version of Windows 8 (frequently referred to as Windows 8 RT).  We just don't know, because they haven't said that they will or they won't.  Right now there is no compatible version.
    6. So your options are to use music software that is compatible with Windows 8 RT (I am guessing it comes with some version of Windows Media Player), wait till Apple comes out with a version of Itunes for Windows RT (Which it may or may not do), or return your Surface RT and buy a more traditional laptop with an Intel or AMD processor instead (The version of Windows 8 that can run on those chips can do itunes in desktop mode).
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  I can see where this would be a little confusing.  Microsoft probably should have given it's ARM-based operating system a name other than "Windows".

  • How to recover passwords, and favorites from Windows.old

    I had to install Windows 7 over Windows 7 due to an error I had. I need to recover my passwords/favorites in some way or another. The reason I had this put under Sync is because I had my computer synced to my phone.
    First off is it possible to recover the data from the Windows.old file? (Any way how to)
    -Ive tried the way I found on google that did not work.
    Secondly, when I am in the process of syncing to my phone it gives 3 options on the advanced options, I obviously hit the "Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data".
    It says I have 88 bookmarks, but it says that they are on the computer. So that obviously means that they should be able to be recovered without syncing. How would I go about recovering them without replacing everything on my computer with my phone.
    Third off, if it is possible to recover my passwords from the Windows.old then please let me know. Thats the most important thing to me.

    Hello! It would be nice to have a migration script in Bridge too...

  • How to root Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 pro

    I want to root my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 pro (android version 4.4.2), but I dont want a bricked device. So, can someone please help me? Send a tutorial, download link..? I would be so greatful, thanks.

    just reflash with intel's phone flash tool, and all is getting back to stock. no need to clean or other stuff... just select the flash.xml (not others xml). if you peek inside the file you will see that he is creating and formatting the partitions again so whatever was on your emmc (tablet's equivalent hd) is gone. as long as you didnt mess around with bios reflashing with that xml  will get you back in time to the place you were when you first started your tablet (assuming you are flashing the same rom)Lenovo implemented Secure Boot (or as we know it better as 'locked bootloader') so as long you didn't mess with bios (and i don't think you did) theres no way anyone could tell that the tablet was rooted sometime. the rooting method used now is "online" after the secure boot has done his job of starting the kernel.not my case coz i will sodomize my bios to bypass the secboot (i want to install linux and windows, just for fun, and this tablet would be fun for me running linux and a chroot with android, so that I WILL SECURE BOOT android ) and anyways i can get back anytime (worst case i have a flash burner)

    Hello
    Thanks for your prompt response. I have tried to solve the matter by following the steps given in the first link but i was unable to find BOOT SECTION and also BOOT SECTION DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN. All i could find in the BIOS setup were MAIN, SECURITY, DIAGNOSTIC, SYSTEM, CONFIGURATION & EXIT Menues, therefore the matter is still unsolved. Will i need to reinstall Windows 7 again to fix this?
    Secondly, there is another issue with my newly bought machine HP Pavilion dv6 7007tx is that, my sound often will not work particularily for multimedia or videos when i am using it on battery or even if it is booted on battery. It works perfectly (so far) when i am powering it with adaptor. While using on battery, the windows normal sound would work fine but multimedia songs or videos sometimes work and most of the time do not work. i've tried to fix this while gone through all possible options. Even the F11 mute botton does'nt lit indicaing that sound for multimedia will not work now.
    Please advise to overcome both the issues.
    Thanks.

  • HT1203 How do you share between users with Windows 8

    I have two user accounts on my computer.
    How do I share my music between them with iTunes with Windows 8.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
