Can you use a soft tip stylus type pen on an IdeaTab A1107 Tablet screen?

I recently purchased an IdeaTab A1107 Tablet, which I believe is the same as the IdeaTab A1, just with the Android 4.0 OS.  My wife is having trouble always hitting the correct buttons on the screen (7" screen).  Can you use a soft tip stylus type pen or other stylus on an IdeaTab A1107 Tablet screen?  Would that be easier than tapping the screen with your finger?
Thank You ........
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use a stylus that's sold as being designed to work with "capacitive screens" - not just any stylus will do.
You can also use any conductive object as a stylus on the A1 screen, as long as your skin is touching the part of the object that is conductive.

  • You can't use Contribute to edit this type of file

    I've updated a few pages from a website, so they're just
    variations of pages that used to work with Contribute. Now I'm
    getting a message--on some of them--that "you can't used Contribute
    to edit this type of file." These are html files with the extension
    htm. They contain tables. They are based on templates. They don't
    seem to have any other distinguishing properties. Exactly what kind
    of files don't work? What might I be doing wrong? I teach this at a
    college & my students are as puzzled as I am.

    Ancient thread, but if anyone else is googling this phrase I thought I might respond with a possible answer.  I encountered the same error but could not find anything wrong with the page in question.  Turned out the page getting the error message was fine! The issue was actually with a simple typo on the page that linked to that page--it was missing the extension (e.g., linking to "page2" instead of "page2.php".  The web server (and Contribute's browser) were pulling up the page even though the extension was missing but Contribute didn't know what kind of file it was so it refused to allow editing.

  • Can you use multiple plugins on one piece of media?

    can you use multiple plugins on one piece of media?
    ...so for example have one plugin for a UI control bar, another for tracking, and another for advertising?
    If this is possible how? What types of plugin would each plugin be and what sort of media element would be required?
    Or is this not the correct approach? If not what would the correct approach be?
    Thanks in advance for support.

    I have got this plugin to set it's proxiedElement.
    To do so, I needed to follow David_RealEyes advice too.
    But I still can not acheive what I set out to find out, all I was trying to do was trace the current time of the videoElement, to begin to understand how plugins work. Can anyone advise please? Thanks in advance for support.
    I thought to acheive this I would just need to add  a listener for like this:
    dispatcher.addEventListener(TimeEvent.CURRENT_TIME_CHANGE,  onTimeChange);
    Then write the function like this:      
    private function onTimeChange(e:TimeEvent):void
                 trace('**********onTimeChange: '+ e.time)

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

  • Can you use sage on a mac?

    Can you use sage accounting software on a MAC?

    You didn't indicate which iMac (processor type) you have, even though this Forum is designated for the older PowerPC processor models.  From this Q&A on the Sage web site, the only option is for Intel processor-based Macs and it requires running the Windows OS via Boot Camp.  Older PowerPC processor-based Macs cannot natively run the Windows environment, except through virtualization software - which Sage doesn't recommend because of possible corruption and/or loss of data.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • How do you use inspirion 13 7000 stylus with adobe photoshop cc

    how do you use inspirion 13 7000 stylus with adobe photoshop cc? Doe anyone know how to use the stylus on this dell 2 in 1? I was told by dell that you could use the stylus to edit in photoshop but its not working-

    You are asking a huge question. You'll get a better response if you ask something specific about a problem you are having with layers.
    I'm not trying to be mean but you can find vast amounts of basic info on layers with a simple Google query. If you click the Video link after inputting a search query, you can even find video tutorials.  YouTube  is one place that has quite a few video tutorials.
    How layers work hasn't changed between Elements versions.  Layers work the same in Photoshop. The application interfaces may be slightly different but layers are layers.
    FWIW, I'm not a big fan of the manual. You're better on getting something like "The Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage or looking for info on the Internet.  One free resource with tons of info can be found here:
    http://www.garymgordon.com/misc/tutorials/photoshop_tutorial/elements/psE_intro.htm
    The tutorials found at the above link use an older version of Elements so you won't find info on the newest tools and features but the basic Editor info on layers and the tools still apply.

  • Can you use protools 8 on lion and on mountain lion

    can you use protools 8 on lion and on mountain lion

    You will need to run System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) then click Applications in the left column and check to in the Type column to see if the app is an Intel or Universal app. If it is either one then you're on the right track, if it says PPC or Power PC then the answer is a simple no.
    However to really find out you should contact the developer.

  • Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer

    Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer?  How can you update to OS 5?  I want to get one for my mom but she doesn't have a computer of any type.  Can I set it up on mine (I already have an account, an ipod and ipad2)  and then give to her to use?  Can't find any info on this.  Do I have to set up an Itunes account for her on my computer initially?  Will she then be able to update via wi-fi???  Thanks

    To update to iOS 5 you need to do it thru iTunes on a computer. Once updated, thought, you can subsequently keep it up to date without a computer, thru Wi-Fi.
    Yes, you can use an iPad without a computer, but all things normally synced to the computer will have no backup (photos, videos, etc). If you set up a Wi-Fi network for your mom, she should be able to get a lot of use from it.
    Be careful about setting it up with your Apple ID, though. Once it is set up with your Apple ID it is tied to your creit card. Any future purchases (apps, books, etc) will always go thru your account.

  • Can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    I think you are asking whether it makes an difference whether you create the mask before or after you edit the black & white version. The answer is that since the color version and the b&w version are on different layers (as seen here), it makes no difference when you edit the b&w version.
    Also consider another technique that separates the color element in the image. Here, the area surrounding the color image is a line interpretation of the scene, similar to a Tone Line Conversion, a technique that was created with film many years ago.  (I am so old,  I still remember how it was done.) This is how to get the result similar to the one shown above but with a line illustration created in Photoshop replacing the b&w layer version:
    1. Open an image. This technique is more successful if the image you select has many clearly defined edges.
    2. Make a duplicate layer. (Cmd+J). It becomes Layer 1
    3. With Layer 1 chosen, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Set the Quality to High and the Mode to Edge Only. The default settings are Radius 3.0, Threshold 25.0. To increase the amount of detail in the line conversion, raise the Radius setting. Use the white-on-black illustration within Smart Blur as a guide. Then click OK.
    4. The line illustration will appear as white lines in a black background. To change this to black-on-white, choose Image>Adjustments>Invert.
    5. Insert a new layer below Layer 1. It will serve as the background for the line illustration. To do this, hold down the Command key while clicking on the New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the second symbol from the right. It will become Layer 2.
    6. Fill this new layer with a light color. To do this, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a light color and click OK.
    7. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. Layer 2 will fill with the color. Although it will not appear in the image because Layer 1 is above it, a quick check of the Layers panel will confirm that the color you chose has filled Layer 2.
    8. Remove the white area from in Layer 1. Go to Layer 1. Choose the Magic Wand tool. Uncheck the Contiguous box in the Options Bar and click in a white area of the image. Next, click the Delete key.  Choose Select>Deselect to remove the marching ants. 
    9. (Optional)  You may now change the line illustration in Layer 1 from black to a dark color compatible with the color in Layer 2. To choose the color, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a suitable dark color and click OK. While in Layer 1, click the first symbol next to the word  Lock:  in the Layers panel above Layer 1. This will prevent the dark color from appearing in the blank area of Layer 1. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. The black lines will change to the dark color you chose.
    10. Combine Layers1 and 2: While in Layer 1, choose Layer>Merge Down. The layers are combined into a single layer called Layer 2.
    11.  Add a black mask to Layer 2 by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the symbol to the right of the fx symbol. Where you would like full color objects to appear within the line rendition, paint in white on the black mask with a brush set to either soft-edge or hard-edge as the illustration and your taste dictate.  

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.
