Ideapad U510 Touchpad problem

I have bought a lenovo ideapad u510 a week before. From the very begining I am facing toucpad problem, The cursor jumps everywhere in the screen and make automatic selection all by itself. I am totally unable to control the cursor.
I have tried installing Synaptics driver after unistalling default Elan driver, but it wasn't solved a bit. I have tried by changing various options from the Elan menu, also disabled 'Multi-finger' option.
I have bought it from Canada but now I'm far away from there. So if anyone knows the solution please help me.

Please reinstall your default touchpad driver (ELAN). According to Elan: The main cause of unexpected cursor moving or click is the accidental palm contact with the touch pad. You can adjust your Palm Tracking setting to maximum to make your touch pad insensitive to "palm contacts"

Lenovo IdeaPad U510 touchpad scrolling with 2 fingers

Hello. I bought a lenovo ideapad u 510 yesterday and I think I have a problem. whenever i try scrolling with 2 fingers i have to press harder than when i am simply just moving the pointer with 1 finger. is this normal? on my old laptop i didn't had to press harder with 2 fingers, but here if i don't the touchpad thinks i am using just one.

This is your second post : "PS: i donwloaded the latest drivers from elan website and I also edited the sensitivity to light touch which is maximum."
So which touchpad do you really have? Elan or Synaptic?

Ideapad U510 Touchpad

Hello,
I am having issues with my touchpad. It does not allow for any multi finger swipes. I originally had finger swipes but had to get the touchpad replaced by Lenovo because the mouse would move when nothing was touching the touchpad.
Since I received my machine back from Lenovo repair the swipe features are gone and the options features in the Elan setting windows is grayed out. I tried installing drivers (from the Lenovo and Elan websites) and did a complete system recovery, but I still cannot get multiple fingers to work with the touchpad.
My screen is fairly wide and it is very annoying to have to scroll with the side bar, so does anyone have any ideas on how I can get multiple fingers swiping and scrolling?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, just curious if this issue was ever addressed or resolved by Lenovo? I just bought a refurbed U510 and have the Elan drivers, no multi-touch functionality. I'm just wondering if I just need to deal with it or if there is a way to fix it so I can get those features. Thanks.

ProRes files act crazy and transcoding to Animation codec gets ugly

So, allegedly, the Animation codec is lossless. However, when I take something encoded with Apple ProRes 422 HQ and transcode to Animation within the Quicktime Pro software, I see noticeable differences. Including: color change and increased aliasing.
The same is true when attempting to export stills from ProRes, even in the highest, most lossless formats. I am wondering if ProRes for PC is actually not quite ready for prime time? When I import a ProRes file into After Effects, I notice the same quality drop associated with trying to transcode it to a lossless format. It seems as though ONLY QT Pro has the capability to display ProRes files properly. If this is the case, this is largely useless, since I can't then USE these ProRes files for anything. What the heck guys? I wouldn't have had clients deliver me ProRes encoded stuff if I knew that it didn't actually maintain its integrity.
Please help out as soon as possible. Clients with deadlines are waiting on a solution that doesn't involve me spending 4000 grand on a new machine and FCP.

As a test, try nesting the problem sequence in a new empty sequence then export that new sequence using QuickTime. Let us know whether or not that succeeds.

Help! My computer is acting crazy!

Help! My computer is not opening files and I cannot save or download anything since my husband downloaded his friends music collection (10,000+ songs). Did he use all the memory? When I start up the computer it says my start up disk is almost full -- what does that mean and what should I do?
Also my mail will not update any longer.. what shoudl I do?
Thanks, Melissa

Tell hubby to get their own computer, this one's yours, too.
You need to clear off 10% to get it back to function.
He needs to buy a couple drives: one for just their music library itself, external maybe NAS equipped. Backup disk drives. For the system. For your data. For hubby's data. ie, just having the data is one thing, but also a backup of the 10K+ files need to be also.

Pre-render (preview) acts crazy and crashes Premiere - QT Bug?

I have a MacBook Pro 17", 2GB RAM, 2.4 GhZ dual core
Looks like some sort of QT Bug:
I have set my sequence preview settings to render with QT Animation codec. When I preview the sequence, it gets stuck at a specific location on a timeline when it reaches a still image. Then I try to cancel the render, but instead it crashes Premiere. Funny thing, that putting the image at some other location on timeline renders perfect. I have tried everything - I've changed the image to another one - same thing. I've deleted all the preview files - nothing changed. Then I've tried to change the codec in the Sequence Preview Settings and I found out, that when it's on DV-PAL, or I-Frame Only, it renders just fine!!! So I suppose that it's some sort of a bug that is in QT native codec probably... (it only happens to a still image on a specific location on timeline)

As a test, try nesting the problem sequence in a new empty sequence then export that new sequence using QuickTime. Let us know whether or not that succeeds.

Ideapad u510 melts

Hi, I bought the ideapad u510 about a month back and while i was charging it last night, i felt there was a burning smell coming from the laptop and I saw that the metal below the 'space' bad had started to melt. I immediately took the system off the charging point. Now it looks like the metal has melted and it looks slightly disfigured. what do i do with the system. frankly i did not expect this from the "famed" lenovo machine!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For -anything- related to melting, burning smells, ect. you want to contact the place you purchased from as soon as possible. That's a serious issue, and Lenovo takes the safety of their customers very seriously. If its brand new and within returns period there's always return/replace, but if its outside the returns period call your local Lenovo support for more assistance:
Worldwide Support Phone List:

Until then keep it unplugged, remove the battery, and stay safe!

Macbook pro 2010...cursor is acting crazy jumping everywhere and responding very slow...thought it was the track pad but I plugged in a mouse and it still does the same thing...is this a virus?..and can someone please help?...

My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?

It is not a virus. See my Mac Virus Guide*.
As to what it might be, that's hard to say. You should try some basic troubleshooting... Repair the hard drive with disk utility. Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems. Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

my iphone is acting crazy plz help asap my phone is giving reading me everything i lay my hand on and is not letting me scroll down or select anything i must have accidentally switched some voice thing on plz help me close it:(

First off, try triple clicking the home button.
To scroll use three fingers and I think you have to double tap to get into something.
Go to Settings>General>Accessability>Voiceover and then turn that off.
Hope that sorts it for you

TouchPad Acting Crazy

My Lenovo Twist ThinkPad touchpad has been acting crazy recently. When I click anything on the touchpad (right or left) it clicks 3-4 times in a row. For instance, if I click to open a new tab in Internet Explorer, 3 tabs open simultaneously or if I click to open an app it will open it in 3 different windows. It is becoming a pain in the butt. I have tried messing around with the advanced settings under synaptics UltraNav settings but have not been able to fix the issue. I also updated the drivers, which did not help either. Do I need to send my computer in for repair? If anyone has been having this problem as well and found a fix, please fill me in! Thanks
Chris

My keyboard occasionally goes crazy, not allowing me to type. Also, cursor goes crazy and opens pages and windows at will. Help!

My typing cursor frequently goes crazy, not allowing me to type and jumping from place to place, deleting letters. Suddenly, a line I have typed will be highlighted and deleted at will. Also, mouse cursor moves at will, opening multiple pages in seconds. Help! What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?
I've had my Macbook pro for over a year and it has never done this before. Restarting the computer fixes the problem temporarily.

My first thought was the hard drive and OS has a built in Sudden Motion Sensor whcih will stop the hard drive heads from crashing into the platters when the computer is moved suddenly. This does work most of the time and could cause some of the tings you are seeing.
But then after reading more of your first post it seems your system and drive is doing some very strange things.
It would be best to first take it into an Apple Genius Bar and have it looked at. They can run tests on it and since it is still in the original 1 year warranty this should not cost you anything even if something needs to be replaced.
You can also run the Apple Hardware Test on it your self by connecting it to the Net by Ethernet cable and booting holding down the d key or the Command+d keys. That will boot the computer from the Apple internet servers and load the AHT.
Good Luck.

[SOLVED]Mouse and keyboard acting crazy. I have to restart gdm via ssh

Here's the output from dmesg after boot.
http://pastebay.com/14045
Basically, I'm getting errors from my USB mouse and keyboard. If I wait long enough udev will find them and they'll start working. GDM starts too fast so Xorg is stuck without keyboard and mouse. I had to ssh and restart GDM then mouse and keyboard worked. For the meantime I've disabled gdm in rc.conf.
I usually see these messages from devices that are drawing too much power from the USB power bus.
These devices work fine in the Win32 and OSX installs on the same hardware.
thanks ya'll

Well, my media card reader, an internally mounted one, decided to act crazy. Unplugging it from the mobo seemed to fix it. wonder what happened, it's only 3 months old and has no moving parts

Does anyone have any new recommendations to help iTunes recognize that my 128 iPhone and 128 iPad aren't 16 GB models?

I have suffered from this problem for years, but since upgrading to 128 iOS devices in September, the mysterious iTunes/iOS hidden data disease has gotten intolerable. Here's the deal:
I use my iPhone and iPad mostly for media consumption. I don't have a ton of apps. I have lots of videos, music through iTunes Match, and a few pictures. I'm one of those dinosaurs who doesn't use the cloud but downloads it, stores it, and syncs it via USB frequently (which I would bet is the root of my problem). Although I have a large capacity devices, I sync almost daily. And each time I sync, my displayed free space and the space iTunes allows me to use differs more and more. Old fixes used to involve such things as restoring the devices, turning off automatic syncing, turning off photo syncing, turning off other syncing apps, etc. And these things were temporary fixes.
Let me give you an example of what I mean by temporary. It has been exactly eight days since I last restored my iPad to brand spanking new, retaining nothing. In those eight days and approximately eight or nine manual USB syncs, each with an average of 60 GB transferred, I mysteriously have managed to lose 40 GB. This afternoon during my most recent sync, iTunes showed 86.3 GB free. However, as usual, it wouldn't sync anything close to that. By the time I had whittled my selections down to an acceptable amount, it still showed I had 47.2 GB free both in iTunes and in Settings on the iPad. Yet when tested it by trying to sync a 50 MB app, it said there was not enough available space. In days past, problems like this would take weeks or maybe even months to accumulate. And the culprit would usually be the "Other" category. When that happened, the remedies I described would help. This new beast is something else, though. Like I said, this took only eight days.
I finally decided to post something, though, after I reset my iPhone to factory settings this evening. When I was syncing the initial apps and videos, it would not let me sync more than 30 GB of material. I don't know what to do, guys. I bought the maximum capacity devices because I like my HD content. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you say I just need to sync less, (1), Apple needs to get its act together, and (2) It might sound crazy, but I can probably only push it to 2 days, so I'd only be postponing my problems a few days.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have spent time searching, but all I found was the answers I have already tried numerous times.

I got my baby iPhone the day it came out. Seriously, I love it. I'm not really mad about the price drop, a little frusterated, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I purchased mine so early. But, now that I know there are ringtones in the future, I just can't wait.
So basically, does anyone know for sure when we will be able to get the ringtones? And what about iTunes on the iPhone, when will that pop up? I'm sure these questions have been posted already, but I just can't seem to find a sure answer.
I'm worried that it is just my iPhone/computer that can't find the update to get all the cool new feautres, any help?
thanks in advance!
Sit tight, once it's out you WILL KNOW. The Apple Discussions will be bombed!
