Any X301 users having touch pad problems?

Everyone of my X301 units have had a problem where double tapping on the touch pad does not work for a few seconds at a time. Also there can be a few seconds delay waiting on what I typed to appear on the screen. I know the X301 has a lower powered processor but sometimes when I am doing simple word processing these quirks will appear.
Is there a setting to make the touch pad more sensitive?
Is there a setting to move the input of the touch pad up on the list for the processor to handle?
Other than this, the X301 is perfect for me and my employees.

Have you run all the newest updates at the new Lenovo update site. It is up and running and took my computer a while to update including a new bios.
This helps but will/can make it worst for a while.
My Take:
If you laptop is new OR you have just installed a good bit of software OR did anything to move alot of files around on your drive it will take time for Vista to re index the files. Being that the processor is slow it will suck up resources that are required for the touchpad or even the keyboard. Mine would even freeze the keyboard and you could type and nothing would happen and then all of a sudden everything you typed pops up on the screen.
I have found that when ever you "upset" the indexing it is best to just leave your computer alone and let it do it's thing. You will see alot of hard drive and processor activity. After this stops, all is well and you should not have any more problems.
This is my opinion on what is happening and I have noticed the same on all three of my X301 units one with normal hard drive and one with 80gb SSD and 128gb SSD. Basically the slower processor is fine 90% of the time but seems to bog down a bit when asked to do too much.
Try this and see. Leave you laptop up and running for several hours, make sure it is set to not go to sleep and come back and see if it does not make a difference.

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

If PDF document is open in any TAB, scrolling through touch pad in other TABs is disabled?

I have ACER Aspire 5740G, Firefox 5.0, Windows 7 Ultimate (X32), Adobe Acrobat X Pro. If some online "pdf" document is open in any of the TABs, The scrolling through touch pad in other tabs stop working however it remain active in the PDF document. After closing the pdf tab the scrolling starts to work normal.

I have the same problem and have had it since Firefox 5. I now have Firefox 6.0.2 and still have the problem.
Windows 7 x64, Synaptics Touchpad V7.2
If an Adobe PDF is open in a tab, touchpad scrolling only works in that tab. If any other tabs are open and user attempts to scroll, nothing will happen in the non-pdf tab, but the pdf will be scrolling. This can be very annoying because if you forget there is a pdf open and try to scroll, you will scroll the pdf out of place.

X1 Carbon Windows 8 Pro touch pad problem?

So, one can swipe from the right to left on the carbon touch pad and bring up the windows 8 charm menu. I can do this and everything works as expected.
However, ever so often, the windows 8 charm menu would just popup. I thought I was triggering this with my palm, but then I noticed a bad defect; The mouse buttons all stopped working.
So;
1. Charms suddenly popup
2. All mouse buttons (the dedicated ones and the touch pad ones) are now not working at all.
3. The mouse pointer still works using the trackpoint button, and the touchpad pointer still works. All mouse button clicks no longer work.
4. I have to esc out of the charm menu and hit ctrl-alt-del and arrow down to the sign out menu.
5. signing back on fixes the problem. Reboot is NOT required to fix this.
At this point I don't know if it is a lenovo problem or windows 8 problem.
Has anyone else seen this.
Thanks

Hi, ghstahl
I would try uninstalling the current driver by going to Device Manager and opening up Mice and other pointing devices. Next, right-click on the device and select Properties. A window should appear. Navigate to the Driver tab and select Uninstall... from the bottom. Once this driver is uninstalled, go here and download the latest driver. This driver is the base Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that develops the UltraNav software that is currently on your machine, most likely. This driver has helped users before having TouchPad issues, so it may be able to do the same for you.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Mail and Touch Pad problems

Didn't know where to put this so I put in Leopard and Mail...
I'm using a MacBook Air running 10.5.3 and a friend of mine is using a Powerbook 1.5 GH running 10.4.latest. The mbAir track pad is set up as: Tap to Click, Dragging, Two Finger > Secondary Click, Scroll (Pinch open & close Rotate), Screen Zoom, 3 fingers > Swipe to Navigate. The powerbook is very similar but since it doesn't have the iPhone type touch pad like the Air, it's not quite the same set up.
We were talking the other day and realized that we are having the same problem: whenever we are in Mac's Mail program and we are typing, all of a sudden we find ourselves on another line somewhere in the text that we have just written. Some of the text that was just type may have also been deleted. We both find that we can't figure out how it is happening.
The only thing I know is she (with the Powerbook) didn't have this problem until I turned on some of the other features of the touch pad, such as Tap to Click and Secondary Click, etc..
Has anyone had this happen to them?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Yes, I am having this problem. Here's more detail:
In Mail:
I can type into Mail's To: (or CC: or BCC:) field one address that is in the address book; the auto-complete works, and when I press Return or comma to auto-complete and start entering another recipient, everything I type thereafter is cumulatively reproduced. It looks like this, for example:
(Babbette Duck)MMaMarMarkMarkSMarkScMarkScuMarkScupMarkScuppMarkScuppeMarkScupper (...etc.)
The name above in parens ( ) represents the successfully entered e-mail address. Everything after it is what happens (I selected and pasted it right from Mail) when I then try to type another name. As I type letters, something takes each letter I type, repeats it and every subsequent letter I've typed, and adds the new letter I type. Every character key, plus Delete, Return, and Shift, and the arrow keys, results in the reentering of the previous typing as illustrated above. Only the modifier keys Control, Option, and Command, the F keys, and the sound volume keys, are unaffected (and modifier+character combinations).
Trying to edit a name in Address Book (which I hadn't done before reading your post) results in the same phenomenon.
Then there's a weird thing: If I then select all the text in the To: field, using either mouse or Command-A, and delete using the 2nd-row Delete key, everything is deleted BUT then the name I was trying to type in appears, correctly typed. So somehow it is registering correctly, but it's as if the system is, after one entry in the To: field or any typing into an Address edit field, using any subsequent keys as select/copy/paste of everything that is typed before it.
And Console is now showing anything at all, let alone an error.

Touch pad problem on Zen Visio

I have a Creative Zen Vision: M with a broken touch pad. I already did a research on this forum about how to fix it and none that works for me. I mean, first the tap touch is fine but up/down scrolling is not working. Then up/down scrolling comes back but tap touch stops working. I'm thinking this is a hardware problem. There is any other way to fix it's By the way, my Zen already out of the warranty period.
Is there anyway to just set it as a USB without using tap touch to set it's

Touch pad problems

I have a Thinkpad T61 running on XP. The touch pad worked fine for a year but suddenly it's either become extrasensitive or something is wrong with the hardware (I suspect the latter): sometimes the mouse pointer on the screen will change rapidly or it will click whenever I touch it (which is especially bad if I am sending emails).
Also, 5% of the time I start up my laptop the computer will not respond to either the mouse or the keyboard, so I have to reboot and it usually works after that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Touch pad problem

Hello all,
I have an HP 6730b laptop. I purchased it used. I runs Win 7 @ 64bit. All was well, until I had to do a restore to an earlier time, due to a bad program download.
Now, my problem is: the "Synaptics touch pad" used to have a listing in the "device manager" section to change setings for it, and an icon in the lower right of the task bar, which accessed it. Now, the Synaptics part is listed,(under device mgr.) and when I click it 2 times, I get a box that gives me the basic info on the pad, nothing else. When I first got it, it had a very nice complete program of settings for "touch sensitivity," etc. Very controllable. Now, I can't do anything in terms of settings at all. The settings choices are gone. I downloaded the "Synaptics Touch Pad" driver straight from HP. However, this did not help me. Anyone know what to do? I would appreciate, if their is, a siple solution to the problem. I am a bit of an amature. Thank you!! Tom

Touch pad problem, zen mi

My creative zen micro had broken along time ago, since than I have bought a zen vision:m. and i am just revisiting it and i took it apart to realize that the reason it wasnt working was because the wire strip that connects the touch pad to whatever the wire strip leads to has come untaped/unglued or however they assembled it. i have tried to reattach using different tapes and things to try to reconnect it. nothing has really worked though, is there anything that i can do that will help me connect it. everything else is fine its just i turn it on and i cant go anywhere because the touch pad does not work. is there an alternate way to go thru menus or another way to connect it's thanks for the help if there is any...

Gollum8,
There is warranty information on the CD that came with it. Also, if you go to the European creative page, click on support and then "warranty and returns" it will take you to a place where you can determine your exact warranty period. Since Amazon has a EU presence and the Zen Touch is sold on their page the European warranty period should be the one that applies. If you purchased it while in another region let me know and I will look it up for you.

Palm Zire Touch pad problem...also...

My touch pad (Palm Zire- old) does not respond when trying to locate in depth information...any thoughts or suggestions?
Can I transfer the information from the Palm Zire onto my desktop/laptop without much of a fuss?
Should I consider getting an updated PDA and if I did would it be easy to transfer from the old one to the new device? Costs of the new device?
Thanks for any and all advice-
MacBill
Post relates to: Zire

If you can get a business card or a folded piece of paper and take it around the edge of the touchscreen just under the case of the device. See if your touchscreen response then. As for the information moving from one PC to another you should be able to hotsync and just need to hotsync your data. If you cannot hotsync then you can export the data from one PC and import it into another.
As for getting a new device if the business card does not work then you might want to get a new one. The transfer is easy just sync to the same username that your data is in. As for prices, we no longer sell them but you can try amazon.com and see if they still have devices new there. Other than that eBay might be the next step.

Macbook air early 2014 touch pad problem

Does anyone know why sometimes I want to do click by tapping the touch pad is unresponsive and shows up as not working.

If you have been taking care of the trackpad and haven't pressed hard or spilled anything, I think it's a system glitch. Try resetting the PRAM memory. I'm not sure if fore Yosemite it's like this, but for older os x it's kind of like this: At boot, while screen is still black, before boot tone, hold the following keys:
Command+Option+P+R
Kep holding till the computer restarts and there's a second boot tone. Again, I'm not sure if for Yosemite it's like that, but investigate. If not, take it to apple or a good mechanic for maintenance.

Lenova Flex 2-14 Mouse Touch Pad Problem

I've just recently bought my son a Flex 2-14 which he thinks is great. However today the mouse pad stopped working which has put a downer on a new and smart laptop. As I'm a windows and laptop user myself, I've checked the driver, ensured that it's enabled, checked to ensure that it's the latest version, made sure that it's toggled on from a keyboard perspective. However it refuses to recognise any physical interaction. As the screen is touch sensitvie and the USB mouse is working fine we can get away with this. But really why is it not working? The only thing I can guess is that as you turn the screen and keyboard around to into touch screen mode the hardware recognises this and disables the mouse pad. It looks to me that it's now stuck in this mode which is really frustrating. It;s getting to the point that I might aswell take it back as it's not fit for purpose.
Any help would be very much appreciated as anything I try to do does not solve the problem?
