Ideapad S415 Touch trackpad right click issue

The problem is that when I press the right mouse button nothing happens. I don't get the dropdown menu. I am able to get it by using thw two finger tap gesture and with an external mouse. Oddly enough I can two finger tap right on the rigth mouse button itself but I can't click it.
I know the button is working but I don't know what happened. I updated the drivers frim the support page and this happened. I tried to look through the mouse properties from the control panel but could not find anything that would disable my right mouse button. when I press the right mouse button, on the "Buttons" tab on the properties, the button configuration menu switches to "other pointing devices. Suggesting that the right mouse button is not connected to the trackpad???
I Can't for the life of me find another person with a simlar situation so I must ahve done soemthing so obvous and wrong. I would glady appreciate any suggestions to solve my predicament. Thanks.

I also had these problems initially. I guess you have already run Lenovo system update and you have the latest driver (I have 17.0.12.52). In any case, I would recommend to run system update to get all latest drivers first. Meanwhile, this is working for me (could be that I just got used to it ). What works best for me is to use index and ring finger for the two finger click. For most people index and middle finger have quite different lengths, so there is a higher probabiliy that you are missing the time window for doing a two finger touch and instead end up with two consecutive one finger events (which then corresponds to a left click). Hope this helps.

Helix Touch pad - right click issue

Hi,
I bought my Helix about a year ago.
Today, suddenly the right click just stopped to work (I mean the button on the right-down area of the touch pad).
It's a HARDWARE problem: first it was not clickable, and now the button goes down, but without the normal "click" sound. Seems like it is stuck down and the area around the right button isn't functional to click anymore.
First I thought it was some dirt inside, but it doesn't seems to be a dirt problem... the button just stuck
Any thoughts?
Should I open it? If so, what are the procedure?

W520 - touch pad left click issue

Earlier today my left touch pad mouse click started to stop functioning correctly. It will only work correctly every 8 to 15 times it is clicked leaving it unresponsive and unpredictable. The right works perfectly fine as do the trackpad buttons. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and have sprayed compressed air under the key.
I had a similar problem with the laptop when i first got it but at that time the touch pad itself as well as the left click did not function properly. The face plate was replaced which fixed the issue.
Is there anything i can do software wise that might fix the problem before i have to pay to fix the hardware?

Hi Tony
If the unit is not the old one you should contact your local dealer or maybe Toshiba service partner in your country. Your unit has a valid warranty and you can ask them if there is a possibility to do something about that.

OSX Release 10.4.7 and PB 12" Trackpad (right click)

Alright, I'm absolutely mystified by this. All the Macbooks and Macbook Pros have this wonderful feature whereby pressing two fingers to the trackpad and clicking brings up a "right click". Up until release 10.4.7, this was only on the 17" Mackbook Pro (and perhaps the Macbooks), but with release 10.4.7, all the Intel based Apple laptops have this as an option.
Here's the mystery of it, why on earth can Apple not make this available for 2005+ PPC Powerbooks??? These models already support the two finger scroll out of the box. The trackpads are already sensing two finger touches. What is the difficulty with having the two finger sense plus a "click" from the trackpad register as a 'right click'?
Third party utilities (iScroll2, Sidetrack, etc.) either don't support the 2005+ PPC Powerbooks or require a "hot corner" assignment which I find cludgey. I've tried installing every single one out there and none of them resolve this issue.
Is there any workable solution to this? I use right click all the time and find the CTRL+click tedious and archaic.
Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

There seemed to be an issue with my wireless mouse that was causing the issue with my OS. I unplugged my usb hub, and it worked again.

IdeaPad S415 touch Windows 8.1 Update for Wireless Card Lenovo Part #20200437

I bought this wireless/bluetooth card for my Ideapad S415T and the only drivers for it were for Windows 7. One solution I found said to run the Win 7 drivers in compatibility mode. I wasn't satisfied with doing that so I hunted for the updated drivers for Win 8.1 and found them. I have provided the link at the bottom of this page.
(Make sure you are plugged into your router by an ethernet cable to access internet)
1. When you get to the page scroll down until you see the blue links click on either the link for Win 8.1 32 or 64 bit. If you are not sure which version of Windows you have, go to your desktop open Control Panel, click on System and Security, find System and click on it. Under the System heading on this page you will find if you are 32 or 64 bit. Keep this window open as you will need it in step 3.
2. Once you have downloaded the Zip file go to where it is in Downloads under This PC. Right click on the folder file, which has a zipper on it, highlight Extract All. This will undo the zip file into a separate file that is open. Leave it in the download folder.
3. Go back to your desktop. On the left hand side of the window you left open in step 1 look for Device Manager click on this. Give it a minute as it opens the list. If you just installed this piece of hardware it may show up under Other Network and will have a yellow triangle on it with an exclamation mark in it.
4. Right click on it and highlight Update Driver Software. This will open a new window click on Browse This Computer. If this is an exsisting piece of hardware it can be found under Network Adapters. Look for Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter follow the instructions as for Other Network
4. Once the new window opens up click on the Browse button. This will bring up a new message box. Highlight the Downloads folder. At the bottom of the new message window click Open. This will populate the Browse bar.
5. Make sure Include Subfolders is checked (it should be by default), click next and it should find the drivers. Follow the directions if any come up after that, and voila! Your wireless should work.

If you think I may have missed something in the steps just reply to this post either what I missed or that you are having trouble with it. Good luck

Can you be more specific with the below, as I can't make sense of what you're referring to? I don't know what element size is at all, or where to change it. And, I don't know what you mean by unchecking a checkbox in the device manager as there are no checkboxes. More guidance and specifics would be appreciated.
* Change the element size back to recover from blurry text
* Go to device manager and uncheck that checkbox for the first of the USB devices in HID so that the touchscreen does always react on the first touch (this setting has been lost during the update process)

Right click issues on Satellite P50T-B

I don't know how to change the setting so that I can have a traditional right click on the touch pad.
I know that you can press with both fingers to do some functions like a right click, but when I am using Microsoft word or Facebook I cannot figure out how to right click a misspelt word and see how its spelt. When I right click a work in word or facebook the cursor changes to the scrolling.
Please help, it is getting really annoying taking a minute to figure out how to spell a word because I cant right click
Thanks!

Hi Thomas.
Go to control panel -> mouse
Here you would find some standard options to control the USB mouse and touchpad.
In order to find some advanced touchpad control settings, you should go to last tab.
I guess your notebook supports ELAN touchpad and therefore the last tab should be called ELAN
Within this tab you have to click on Options button.
Now new window (ELAN smart pad) would open providing different control options.
In One finger tab you would find the option to control the tapping, clicking, drag and drop, edge scroll.
Additionally you find the tabs for Multi-finger and Additional features.

Magic mouse right click issue

I just bought the new iMac 3 weeks ago with the magic mouse which I LOVE. But in the past week I have lost the right click function 3 times now. It acts like the right click option is turned off, which I verified and tried to reset and set back which didn't work.
The only way to reactivate the right click function is to reboot the machine entirely. I also tried to turn off and back on the mouse which didn't work and I had to get another mouse to even reboot after that!
The only thing that has changed is that I installed VMWARE fusion (which is hella cool!) and transferred my old XP image to. It seems to stop working after i have been using my XP or Win7 virtual machine after a while. Not always the case but the only thing I can think of that has changed or I am doing differently.
Any help on the subject would be great! Even a work around to get it working again without rebooting the machine would help.
Thanks in advance for you help!

I'm not sure what all of those startup items do, but since none are obvious suspects, what you may want to do is remove them all (except iTunes Helper). In order to add them back later, you can right-click on each item and select +Reveal in Finder+, to see where the item is located. Note down the locations.
After you remove them from the +Login Items+ list, restart (or log out and log back in). Those login items should not be running anymore. See if that resolves the Magic Mouse issue. If it did not, you can add the items back. If it did resolve the problem, I guess you'll have to find the culprit by going to the locations noted earlier and starting one item up at a time, until the Magic Mouse problem returns.
Separately (you can try this first), when I make a change to my mouse settings (although I don't have a Magic Mouse), this is the preference file that changes
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
In case that file is corrupted in some way that prevents the right click from being set, move it to the Desktop. Then go to System Preferences Mouse pane and set it up as desired, including the right click. A new preference files should be created. See if the mouse now works properly.
Those are the two approaches I would take initially, checking the login items and the most obvious user preference file.

VMWare mouse right click issue

Hey all,
I am having an issue with right click in vmware using XFCE for arch. when i right click the menu gets brought up fine but it almost instantly selects the first option in the menu. if i move the mouse in the opposite direction of the menu really fast while right clicking or if i hold down the right mouse button it does not select the first option. to me it seems like the timer for function that selects the option under the pointer when you release the mouse button is called too fast. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hemmar

For VMware related posts, maybe it's a good idea to include the following information
- Which VMware product: player, workstation, esxi and which version
- Using open-vm-tools or vmware tools
- Using vmwgfx ?
Important in your case:
edit or create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vmware"

Fixed right-click issue in Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop crash

Not sure where to post this, so I also started this new Topic...
I have to share this somewhere...
I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue.
History: If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually... If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
"Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing… finally !!!!
...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
For 32-bit : regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
For 64-bit: regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
I found this info about turning off "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link: http://techdows.com/2013/09/avg-2014-how-to-remove-permanently-shred-with-avg-option-from- context-menu.html

Macbook Pro 4,1 trackpad right-click

I have an early 2008 macbook pro (Macbook Pro 4,1).
In Lion, the only way to right-click is using ctrl+click. If I select "Secondary click" in System Preferences/Trackpad, it gets automatically un-selected when I exit System Preferences. This is very frustrating. Any idea how to fix it?

I just found a possible work around in an older thread here,
-> https://discussions.apple.com/message/15687391#15687391
quote:
To workaround this problem on older macbooks, open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities/ run following command (in one line):
defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES
then log out and log back in (to disable secondary click pass NO instead of YES as the last argument).

defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES
then log out and log back in (to disable secondary click pass NO instead of YES as the last argument).
I'll try it out and report back. But I can't check it right now. Maybe, somebody else can report back too.

Revisiting the Right-click issue

I know about the issue with right-click in Captivate, so I put all my files for the client to review on my own website, so right-clicking works fine, and I have verified this on multiple computers.
However, my client is telling me that on her computer the right click does not work. Since it is running from a web server I am not sure why that is, or what may be the problem. The only issues I had dealt with before were running from a local or networked drive.
Is there anything she should try to make this work?
Thanks.

Ask her to get some other coworkers at her site to test the same link. If they all report the same issue then you may have something in her Standard Operating Environment that is causing this issue. If they can use right-click but she cannot, then it could be something to do with her user profile.

Right-Clicking Issue

When I click on a clip in my timeline, a dialogue box of the color selector appears. If i click "OK" it pops up an additional dialogue box to "NAME YOUR NEW COLOR MATTE". After this process it allows me to select from my right-click menus. If i click "CANCEL" on the initial color selector dialogue box it repeatadly brings a new color selector window up.
This happens EVERY time I right-click on a clip in the timeline, very VERY frustrating.

NEW SIDE NOTE>
When the program is first opened it appears to only cause the issue when I right-click on a clip, of which, I have changed the label color. (i.e. from generic default color to mango etc.) When I right-click on a clip that is still labled with the generic default color (i.e. Iris for video, rose for after effects etc.) the issue seems to resolve for the rest of the session. The issue occurs on open and is fixed with I right-click on a clip that has its default color label.

Ideapad S415 Touch: Screen Brightness Stuck!!

Two days ago, my laptop suddenly got stuck on the lowest brightness setting. I did some research and found that I was supposed to update the driver, so I did and now the brightness is stuck on the HIGHEST brightness setting! When I try to adjust it, the little meter will move up and down just one level, from the second lowest to the lowest. Help!
