IdeaPad Tablet a1-07 Just sits there

I have had my tablet about a month. The last time I used it, I remember powering it on and seeing four icons on the screen, one was mail, etc. Now today I powered it on and all I see is the date and time of day. According to the little documentation that is supplied, I am supposed to be able to get by pressing the 'home' button, that does nothing. The icon for lock shows unlocked. Not very impressed so far.

Ah, got it. Maybe these things are supposed to be intuitive, but not to me. I kept thinking that was just an indication of whether or not the device was locked. Thank you.

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
Cheers!

In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

I have iMovie 10.0.4. I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file it worked as expected. Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer. When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer. The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress. The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining. In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing. I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over. It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries. What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

Clicking on M/S' RUN and/or SAVE does nothing - just sits there

Have had this problem for a few days. In trying to open again, it always tells me Firefox is still running and to close it first. There is no Firefox running! Have uninstalled FF and in trying to install a new one, I get as far as the Run/Save; clicking on either one does nothing, it just sits there. Thanks for your help. PS - I've been using FF for ages - first time I've had this problem. PPS = tried to cut/paste browser url but went to open a file.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Ever since I updated to the IOS 6, I no longer can play my music in the car! It is plug and play! It just sits there saying connecting and nothing happens. A few of my friends have said the same thing. Help please! Any ideas?

Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
this problem occurs when there is a short circuit in the phone... you most likely got it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

Thank you

The file seems to create the CD/DVD/Image and USB just fine. So I used this only to create a CD image which I then wrote on a blank CD which seems to work fine. Also, I played around a bit and had some partial success in booting the partition. I've updated my original opening post with the new findings.
Whew!! what a waste of time! Never want to do all of this again .

I've downloaded itunes. downloaded the myView app. How do I get it to work? I've double clicked until I'm blue in the face, and it just sits there. Won't open or anything.

I've downloaded iTunes. I downloaded the myView app. I can't get it to work. It's in my library. I doubleclick on it and it
just sits there and doesn't respond. It is very very important that I get this app to work today!!! Help.

These are apps for the iphone/ipod/ipad.
They do not work on your computer.
You need to sync them to your iphone/ipod touch/ipad and use them from there.

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.
thanks

Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

Does your question involve iPhoto in some way?

When i hit the home button on any particular page, the home page appears on the bar, but it just sits there, doing nothing with a blank screen....

when i activate a web page from the home netzero homepage, and then try to go back to the home page by way of the home button, nothing happens. The status bar says it is trying to go there, but the screen is totally blank white and just sitting there. this happens no matter where i activate a page from, the home button just does not work. thank you in advance for any input .

Verify that the battery is charged (connect to the supplied charger & cable for a couple of hours).
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

i can download normally with no problem but when i detect a movie with download flv add-on and select to download ,it goes to the download window but just sits there in a list saying 'starting' its like something is blocking it ? any answers?

If you are watching that video then you may need to wait until it has finished and the video will be saved from the cache.
Which extension are you using?

Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picyure or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Help?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Tru importing from your camera to it and to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
