64 bit Windows on Yoga 2 tablet

Well this doesn't sound good. My Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 13-inch model has 4GB of RAM, but due to the 32-bit OS I'm able to access ~2.5GB of it. Hopefully with Windows 10 Lenovo will send out updates for a 64-bit UEFI BIOS and then able to go with a 64-bit Windows 10 OS.

I've just bought a Yoga 2 tablet with Windows 8.1.It has 32 bit Windows installed. I have some questions; 1. Would 64 bit Windows work? My tech skills are a bit rusty but if I found the Windows registration/product key for my install, could I do a fresh 64 Win 8.1 install, using that product key? 2. Does anyone know why they decided to install 32 bit as default? Maybe there's a problem with 64 bit? I know the CPU is 64 bit, so I'm a bit confused why they chose 32 bit. 3. Does anyone have an opinion on the Windows 10 upgrade? Do you think it will offer the choice to upgrade to 64 bit Windows 10? Thanks guys.

  • Need HID Sensor Collection V2 Driver for Yoga 2 Tablet 10

    The Yoga 2 Tablet 10 works very well with the 9879 version of Windows 10. The only thing that I'm seeing as missing is that the screen will not auto-rotate. Device Manager shows that the HID Sensor Collection V2 Driver in not functioning.
    Does Lenovo have a driver download location for this device? I expect that the Windows 8.1 version would work.

    Good day.
    You have the 1051 model tablet, correct?
    When (if) drivers become available, I would expect them to be listed here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-1051
    As of now, though, I don't see anything available, so you'll need to keep checking.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • How to fix huge iTunes memory leak in 64-bit Windows 7?

    iTunes likes to allocate as much as 1.6GB of memory on my dual-quad XEON 8GB 64-Bit Windows computer and then becomes unresponsive.
    This can happen several times a day and has been going on for as long as I can remember.  No other software that I use does this - only Apple's iTunes.  Each version I have installed of iTunes appears to have this same memory leak.  Currently I am running version 10.7.0.21.
    I love iTunes when it works.  But having to constantly kill and relaunch the app throughout the day is bringing me down.
    Searching for a fix for this on the internet just surfaces more and more complaints about this problem - but without a solution.
    Having written shrinkwrapped software for end users as well as for large corporations and governments for more than 25 years I know a thing or two about software.  A leak like this should take no more than a day or two to locate using modern software tools and double that to fix it.  So why with each new version of iTunes does this problem persist?  iTunes for Windows is the flagship software product Apple makes for non-Mac users - yet they continue to pass up each opportunity they have had over the years with each new release to fix this issue.  Why is this?
    Either the software engineers are not that good or they have been told NOT to spend time on this issue.  I personally believe that the engineers at Apple are very good, and therefore am left thinking that the latter is more likely the case.  Maybe this is to coax people to purchase a Mac so that they can finally run iTunes without these egregious memory leaks.  I would like to offer another issue to consider.
    Just as Amazon sold Kindles and Google sold Nexus tablets at low cost - not counting on margin for profit - but instead they wanted to saturate the marketplace with tools for making future purchases of content almost trivial to do with their devices.  Apple also counts on this model with their pricer hardware - but they also have iTunes.  Instead of trying to get people to switch to a MAC by continuing to avoid fixing this glaring issue in iTunes for Windows I would like to suggest that by allowing their engineers to address this issue that Apple will help keep Windows users from jumping ship to another music app.  The profit to be made by keeping those Windows users happy and wedded to the iTunes store is obvious.
    By continuing to keep this leak in iTunes for Windows all it does is lower my esteem for the company and start to make me wonder if the software is just as buggy on Macs.

    I have same issue. Ongoing for more than 1 year and currently running iTunes 11.3.
    My PC is Dell OptiPlex 990 I7 processor, 8GB ram, W7 64 [always keep things patched up to latest OS updates etc]
    I use this iTunes install to stream music videos etc to multiple appleTVs, ipads, iphones etc .. via Home Sharing
    Store all my media including music, videos and apps on separate NAS  .. so the iTunes running on PC is only doing the traffic cop role and streaming / using files stored on NAS .. creates lots of IO across my network
    Previous troubleshooting suggest possible contributing causes include
    a) podcast updates  .. until recently I had this auto updates on multiple podcast subscriptions, presumably the iTunes would flow this from the PC to save on the NAS across the network .. if the memory leak is in the iTunes network communication layer (?bonjour?)  this may be sensitive to IO that would not normally occur if the iTunes file saving was local on the same PC
    b) app updates .. have 200+ apps in my library and there is always a batch of updates .. some updates 100s of MB is size .. routinely see 500MB to 1GB of updates in single update run .. all my apps are
    c) streaming music / movies .. seems when we ramp up streamlining of music or movies . memory leak grows faster .. ie within hours of clean start
    c) large syncs of music or videos to ipads or iphones .. noticed that get big problems when I rebuild an ipad .. I typically have 60+ GB of data in terms of apps /  music / videos to load .. have to do rebuild in phases due to periodic lockups

    Help I can't work
    I'm using PS CC 2014 on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC. Photoshop is unusable due to the brushes/eraser tools freezing.
    Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it, or how to revert to Photoshop CC using a Creative Cloud subscription?
    If this helps, all other cc 2014 programs are running perfectly - as was the previous version of Photoshop.

    When exactly does your brushes/eraser tools freeze?
    Do you use any Wacom or other brand tablet? If so, have you checked for an updated driver? Disconnect Wacom and use a mouse instead and check.
    Disconnect all the external devices and then retry.
    Install all the PS updates. Help > Updates
    Try resetting the PS CC preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    Try to open PS CC 2014 in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS CC 2014 icon and hit Yes.
    Restart your machine and retry.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Skype for Modern Windows and Skype for Windows Desktop on a tablet???

    Hi All. I am a newby here so please be patient I have a 6 month old Toshiba Encore that comes installed with "Skype for Modern Windows". When I opened Skype today I received an advice/advert saying that this service will cease July 7 and I should uninstall and update to "Skype for Windows Desktop". News flash.... I have a tablet and it is telling me to install a Desktop version? Is this correct, dispite that my device is a (Windows 8.1) OS tablet, am I still required to make the conversion? Any advice most appreciated.  

    And just in case your next question is "Why". I am just a user like you so no inside knowledge but from what I have read it is partly down to the "Modern" version actually being based on "Old" tech, so it couldn't intergrate with the cloud based future of Skype and partly down to it isn't probably worth fixing (It had a lot of issues that I could see). Unfortunatly for some it is a bit inconvenient that it's being killed off before Windows 10 is released. The one thing I liked about the "Modern" version was the intergration with for example your contacts in the people app, but if you uninstall (Or when it gets killed off in a couple of weeks) you lose that intergration. I know you still have it in Outlook with intergration for the desktop version but to be honest Outlook isn't great on a seven inch tablet either. From my understanding when 10 is finally here and Skype catches up there will be full Skype intergration with your contacts again (Although I could be wrong and that is for the WP). Anyway, I for one would love MS to consider the universal app idea based on the WP version for smaller or all tablets. Maybe someone from Skype will reply?

  • Lenovo Yoga 8 Tablet stuck on boot screen

    Hello!I have a Lenovo Yoga 8 Tablet and today I can't turn it on. It sticks on boot screen. I tried to factory reset but nothing changed. Any help?

    Think I got it sussed ... now if I can only remember how I did it !!Several posts on this forum had the problem with it stuck on the Lenovo splash screen and Fumangord1 on here mentioned  "If you hold the volume buttons in and hold the power switch it should give you the boot options. Select the recovery mode with the up volume button then press the down volume to ok it. Mine comes upo with the android icon and NO COMMAND." Well, I tried this and got the same BUT went a bit further with it, just by pressing buttons in a random fashion ...When the Android robot icon comes up with NO COMMAND, I think I then pressed the ON button and another Boot drop down menu popped up.I think I tried this next bit twice,but can't remember which one worked, but just have a play with the new options to see which one works for you !?First I think I selected the top one which is something like REBOOT and I then the second time I tried the bottom option which is something like WIPE CACHE and hey presto .. . it now works with every app and setting intact !I'm only going by what I remember doing - it might not be quite right, but at least there does seem a way round the issue ! God know's why Lenovo themselves don't reply to these posts and tell us how to fix their bloomin' machines !!?? Good luck everyone !

  • How do you reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 in UEFI mode?

    I have a PC with a single hard disk and, a while ago now, I installed 64-bit Windows 7 on it in UEFI mode. 
    The disk has two primary partitions: a C: partition which contains my Windows 7 system and other installed software such as Office, and a D: partition which contains only personal data. 
    (In other words, I don’t have a multi- or dual-boot system.)  
    I now wish to reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 into the same C: partition, again in UEFI mode.
    There is a procedure for reinstalling Windows 7 documented on the following MS Web page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7
    in the section entitled “Using the Custom installation option without formatting the hard disk”.
    The following YouTube video demonstrates this procedure:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr_s29MWOA0
    and it looks relatively straightforward. 
    Essentially, the re-installation starts by inserting the installation DVD into the optical disk drive and running setup.exe while still logged on to Windows 7 with an administrator user ID. 
    At the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, both the System Reserved partition (the example in the video is a legacy BIOS installation) and the C: primary partition are visible. 
    On that screen, you simply select the C: primary partition and click
    Next, and Windows 7 is effectively reinstalled over Windows 7. 
    Any personal data in the C: partition is preserved in a folder called Windows.old.
    The big question is, does this procedure work for a UEFI installation? 
    The documentation does not state that it works only for a legacy BIOS installation. 
    If I were to follow the procedure, when I reach the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, I would expect to see the EFI System Partition (ESP), the Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR), my C: primary partition and my D: primary partition. 
    Can I simply select the C: primary partition and click Next to start the (re-)installation?
    It appears that nowhere in the procedure do you specify what mode of installation (legacy BIOS or UEFI) is required. 
    Does the installation setup simply use the same mode as that of the existing installation?
    Does anyone have any experience of reinstalling Windows 7 in UEFI mode, using this procedure or any other method?

    Hi,
    It depends. Do you have Windows 7 DVD? Does your computer have a Boot from EFI Drive option?
    Windows 7 DVD can boot in either BIOS mode or UEFI mode. Different UEFI firmware implementations support different methods for handling the installation operation. The processes for booting the computer into UEFI mode for the Windows product DVD are
    the same. If you can find a boot from EFI Drive option, please perform the suggestions as i referred to.
    If you cannot find any boot option, perform the steps below:
    Use Device Manager's Firmware option and select Boot from EFI Internal Shell.
    Use the EFI internal shell, as follows:
    Start the EFI internal shell from the EFI boot menu and select the drive with the Windows product DVD. The following example assumes that the drive is Fs0:
    Shell> Fs0:
    Start the EFI boot application. For example, on an x64 system, run the following command:
    fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
    After the application starts, you may be immediately prompted to press a key to boot from the drive to continue. Press a key to continue booting from the installation media.

  • How to install a plugin on 64 bits windows 2008 server?

    From the developer forum, I found a description which told me how to install a plugin on windows series system, but I only succeded intalling the plugin on 32 bits windows xp, couldn't install the plugin on 64 bits windows 2008 server. Any ideas or advices, men of genius? Thanks :-)

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

    Hi All,
    In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
    The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
    to the Windows 2003 x32 server,  it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
    Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
    POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
    When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
    This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7.  I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade.  The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen.  I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine.  Any thoughts on how to get this working?  Thanks

    If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it.  You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

  • I  have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7  PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

    I  have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7  PC. For several years,
    I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation.  All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
    I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things.  I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
    What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from  my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether.  I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone.  Do you have any suggestions?

    In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery.   (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
     The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last.    These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.
