Miix 2 Stylus issue

I really like my Miix 2.
BUT
Just got the cover and stylus from lenovo online.
The stylus is extremely insensitive. It cant draw in Paint and skips. It cant free text in the windows 8 finger or pen input keyboard. It skips
If I press harder to get better contact, other progs like email or calendar open.
Unfortunately unusable except perhaps to "click" on some desktop icons to select.
Is it a problem with the stylus tip? I would hope that this is so, and I can get a better stylus from lenovo.

I have exactly same problem, Lenovo stylus is total crap! Lenovo played a trick on us!
When I borrowed stylus for iPad from my colleague, this one worked absolutely fine and when I tried Lenovo stylus on other tablets, didn't work too.

Miix 8 touchscreen issue

Typing fast on the keyboard frequently results in strange characters, the kind that are supposed to require a press and hold to select. This issue is discussed in the following review and show around 6:10 in the video.

Any plans to fix this lenovo?

Lenovo hasn't done anything or made any specific updates for this device since its release, looking at the dates on its website:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS038319
Rather disappointed at no support at all right after the device is released while there clearly have been problems.

Has Apple done anything to address the issue of Mountain Lion's inability to support Epson printers? I have a Stylus Photo RX620 that now is useless. I am not a computer geek so would rather not try to do an uninstall of Mt. Lion and go back to S.Leopard

Have you tried to open System Preferences, then Print & Scan and then try to Add + a printer?
I have an Epson RX580 and am using OS X 10.8.2 and it is working as a (Bonjour) printer. My Epson RX580 is plugged into my AirPort Extreme and I can print over my wireless network to the RX580. However, I do not see any Scan options with this setup.
Anyone know anything about getting the scanning portion of the RX580 to work over the network like the printing function does with my Airport Extreme? Or can I not "share" a scanner over the USB port on the Airport Extreme? I know, kind on topic/off topic - but I think it fits under OS questions better.
Thanks for your advice!

Epson Stylus r360 issues printing in Leopard via Airport Extreme & Bonjour

I hope I am not duplicating any posts, have searched but have not found a similar problem.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R360 printer connected to my Airport extreme via USB sharing the resource around the house via Bonjour to all my Mac's.
Problem is it works fine under Tiger but the 2 Mac's that have been upgraded to Leopard 10.5 no longer print. It discovers the printer and loads in the printer configuration window ok, drivers are found and the printer looks good to go.
However, when you try and print, after about a minute an error appears on the printer in Leopard with an exclamation mark and is unable to continue.
If you hook up the printer directly to any Mac running leopard, it works fine!
Anyone else having this problem? Is this something Apple has changed in Bonjour or maybe printer drivers problem via Bonjour?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I found a fix for the problem of not being able to print from a printer connected to an Airport Extreme.
I had similar issues with my Canon iP4200, which was connected to an Airport Extreme. Printing worked fine with Tiger, but Leopard has somehow corrupted the feature. Printing is now very sporadic, at best - and will stop a few seconds into the printing and hang. My solution was to hook the printer directly up to the main (host computer). Go into System Preferences > Sharing, and make sure you've selected 'printer sharing'. Then go into the Sys Pref for "Printing/Fax", and remove your current printer (which was accessed via Bonjour on your Extreme) - you can leave it if you like, just make sure that when you add the new one, that you make it the default. Once set, make sure that you check the box labeled 'Share this Printer'. You will also now notice that the printer's location has changed to your host computer's name. You will now be able to print from your main computer without a hitch. Now access the System Pref>Printer/Fax from any other wired or wireless computer on your network. Add a new printer, a new choice will appear on your list, which will list the printer name with the "@" symbol, followed by your host computer's name. Select that, and let it do it's auto driver check, then click 'add'.
You will now be able to print from any of your computer's on the network. Best of luck.

Sensitivity Issue With Stylus on Yoga S1

I recently purchased the Thinkpad Yoga S1 and use it for school. I mainly use the tablet mode for writing notes in class. I am having issues with the sensitivity of the pen when using OneNote, mainly when switching from different pens or highlighters. The pen will start marking on the screen without actually touching the screen with the stylus. I have been able to mark on the screen while holding the pen up to 2 or 3 inches from the screen. I have calibrated the pen multiple times which ends up being hit or miss if it actually helps.
TL;DR The stylus is writing in OneNote while being held up to 2 inches from the screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I have the EXACT same issue. I have been doing research and have not found a solution. It is very irritating. I want to like my new Yoga, but am getting frustrated with quirks like this one... especially compared to the intuitive performance of my other Apple products. Please help me find a solution so that I can feel better about my new work computer that I was so excited to receive! Thanks!!!

Epson Stylus Photo R800 issues

I have just installed Mac OSX 10.5, Leopard on a G5 2.7Ghz DP tower (OSX 10.4.11, Tiger still on an alternate drive in the computer). I installed on a new drive and used Migration Assistant to move all my personal data and settings. I use an Epson Stylus Photo R800 inkjet printer.
I am not sure if I have an Epson or an OSX issue.
In Tiger I was able to select “Stylus Photo R800 (Manual Feed)” and “Stylus Photo R800 (Sheet Feeder – Borderless)” as additional printers to use for Print CD and printing true borderless 6”x4” photos, but in Leopard I cannot “find” these choices, neither can I find a way to “Add Printer” as I could in Tiger. I have looked for new drivers etc. and nothing helps. Using Epson’s Print CD selecting the “Print” pull-down menu to choose “Epson Print CD” brings up the “paper out or incorrect output tray position” message—the statement not being true.
What am I missing? I notice that the hierarchy, folders, files etc., appear vastly different in Tiger and Leopard and am afraid to “manually relocate” any items! Can anyone please show me or describe for me how to add these very necessary selections in Leopard?
Any expert help will be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks for your support-- you are correct Epson did not solve my problem. Over time, none of my several printing issues have been solved by Epson . Self-help and Forums have been my best solutions. Once Again I discovered the answer myself. The menu options have been moved around in Leopard compared to Tiger. In "EPSON PrintCD" you now go to Print..., choose Page Setup and unlike Tiger when you choose "US letter" under Paper Size, pulled down to US Letter, there is now a side menu that pops up and allows you to choose US letter(Manual Feed). This takes care of the CD printing problem. Though I haven't tried it as yet, I think that under this new "Paper Size" menu choosing "4x6 ( borderless)" will solve my borderless printing problem!
Sorry I can't shed any light on your particular issues

Photoshop CS4 11.0.2. Epson stylus R3000 Compatability Issue

Due to financial constraints, I am still using Photoshop CS4 11.0.2. I am printing on an Epson stylus R3000 and cannot get it to recognize any of the listed profiles for Epson Archival Matte papers or similar. The printer seems to recognize I am trying to print using a different printer profile (Epson R3000 Archival Matte) but after attempting to recognise that communication, just feeds the paper straight out. I think there's a communication issue between Photoshop and printer. It's not the printer as the same thing occurs on a different printer too. Any ideas. I'm going frantic!

I think the would be a OS configuration problem. What OS are you using. If Windows can you use the start button Devices and Printers see your Epson printer click adjust print options and see the profiles in the dialog Also in the control Panel there is a color management applet that show what profiles are associated with devices. Herewhat I see on my Windows system.

Epson Stylus Pro 4000 - Printing issues

I am having trouble printing from Photoshop to my Epson stylus pro 4000. Specifically, I am not able to access choices other than plain paper, tracing paper and line paper for printing my images. The following are some screen shots of what I see. Does anyone out there know why this is happening and if there is some setting/compatibility issue. I would really appreciate any insights and tips for a solution. I noticed the problem when I started using CS5. I have also downloaded the most updated driver for the Epson and that didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

I asume that you have updated the Epson printer driver via the Apple Updater? I had the same problem with my R1900. I suggest that you look at G Ballard's website. You will need to remove the Epson folder from your Library/Printer folder and from Print/Fax in System Preferences and re-install using the driver from the Epson Support webpage.

Having followed the above: my system is now working as it should.

Issues with HP Designjet 110plus, HP Deskjet 9300 & Epson Stylus c63

I recently updated my office and bought an iMac and a MacBook, along with an AirPort Extreme. Since then I've been having issues with the following printers that I've been using for a while:
HP DESIGNJET 110PLUS
HP DESKJET 9300
EPSON STYLUS C63
Basically from time to time the printers either don't want to print or print incomplete stuff, also for some reason I cannot see the Supply Levels from the computer (System Preferences). I tried both with the printers connected to the AirPort Extreme and directly connected to the computer.
After checking some stuff I read that Leopard already comes with the drivers for those printers (so it's not like I have to update drivers; they should be compatible with Leopard).
What could I do to fix these issues?

Adrian,
Apple released an update on all the available HP drivers July 15 2008. I would recommend downloading and installing this so you have the most up-to-date drivers:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/hpprinterdriver11.html
After you have done that then go to Preferences, Print and Fax and then click the minus sign for each HP printer you have installed. Once you have removed the HP Printers you need to add them back in with the new drivers. Simply click the plus sign and add your printers back in. This should do the trick.

Love the new version! Just one small issue with pixelpoint stylus

love the new version with different width strokes - makes a huge difference!
one minor issue is the undo button on the Adonit pixelpoint stylus only works intermittently. I find when it doesn't work I do one or two more strokes after which it works. So its not entirely unworkable but is a bit annoying.

Stylus no funciona bien en Lenovo Miix 3 1030

Hola a todos.
He probado en la pantalla de un Lenovo miix 3 1030 con dos modelos de stylus diferentes (adonit jot pro y wacom bamboo stylus) y con ambos cuando intento escribir obtengo trazos discontínuos en vez de líneas contínuas. Sin embargo cuando escribo con el dedo sí que funciona bien.
¿Tenéis idea de por qué puede ser?
Un saludo y gracias de antemano.
¡Resuelto!
Ir a solución.

Hola Guimadrid,
La pantalla del Mixx no esta diseñada para stylus.
Posiblemente un stylus con punta de goma te funcionaria bien pero de nuevo, Lenovo no confirma compatibilidad para este producto con ningun stylus.
Gracias y Saludos,

Miix 10 ideapad Windows 10 incompatability issues

When I eventually manged to reserve my windows 10 update for my Miix 10 Tablet I was told that I was not able to update because my display was not compatable. Has anyone else had this problem with the Miix 10? I hope this is just a one off. At less than two years old I would have thought that this model would have been compatable. I've got Win 10 on my desktop now and I waslooking forwar to having it on my tablet too. Is there a solution to this issue please?

I have been a computer technician since the early 90's. I can tell you that if this is the way Lenovo supports their products, which I have had for just over a year, then I will be unable to recommend any Lenovo product to people I assist. I talked to Intel, they say it is up to Lenovo to support their product. Lenovo just adds the Miix 10 to their unsupported list. Right now, not a very happy camper. My HP DV7, 9 years old, just updated without a hitch. I may have to start recommending HP to my clients again. How about a little support Lenovo?

Mac Pro to Epson Stylus NX420 printing issue

I have not been able to print from my Mac to my Epson printer. Network status on printer report shows everything passed (password, wireless network name, communication mode check, etc.) yet when I try to print, message I receive is "printer not connected"??? help

Longshot because my issue is with a PC and an epson printer. But I recently needed to uninstall and reinstall the epson software. You might try doing that.
I was having issues printing wirelessly, both from my laptop and my ipad/ipod. It started working after I uninstalled/reinstalled the software. I also didn't install the e-print and webprint. Don't know if that's a factor or not, but if you choose to reinstall you may want to do it in stages.

Lightroom print issues with Espon Stylus Pro 4900

I'm having a weird issue with my StylusPro 4900 + Mavericks/Lightroom
My prints keep coming out 1/3rd their normal size.
I spent the day troubleshooting and no luck
Using LR4 ad now CC LR + Installed all the updates.
Uninstalled old the old drivers and reinstalled new.
Restarted several times.
Cleaned up the OSX stuff and more .
I have been using Epson's for over 10 years but have never run into an issue like this.
I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

Not hearing back about the details of your "success" with the Epson driver install, I can only assume that it really does not work correctly - as is the case with everyone else I've read about trying to use the 2200 under Snow Leopard.
The only work arounds are two, and neither is satisfactory:
1. You can turn off Color management in the first photoshop print dialog and then select the color managed option in the second - this defaults to the printer's drivers instead of using those in photoshop. The result is not right - the colors and brightness are noticeably off - but it is "less unbearably horrible" than what you get if you try to print with the correct workflow: Photoshop manages colors in the first dialog and No color management selected in the second.
2. There is a Gutenberg driver for the 2200 that theoretically could let you print without the Epson printer drivers. However, I have yet to encounter anyone who has gotten this to work properly so that it duplicates the color results formerly achieved with the Epson driver and photoshop managing colors under the earlier versions of the OS.
This is not a good thing. Many of us who rely on the Epson 2200 are not suddenly and without warning and with no word whatsoever from Epson... just plain SOL...
Epson should at least say something about this. Their statement could be "we will not support this printer under Snow Leopard" (terrible policy, but at least we could all go out and shop for new HP color printers...), "we are updating drivers for this (these?) printer(s) and will have them available shortly," or even "we are looking into this problem and will respond shortly."
Right now the silence is deafening. There isn't anything at the Epson site addressing this issue at all, and there is no way to follow up on it from the page addressing Snow Leopard compatibility.
Poor show, Epson.

Miix 2 10" Windows 8.1 Update 1 - no issues so far

Hi,
just stopping by to inform others about my experience on Windows 8.1. Update 1 (official one, not the one leaked a while ago).
Installation went just fine, completed in about or less than 30 minutes. I lost about 1-2GB of storage with that update but managed to reclaim most of that by invoking cleanup procedures later on (DISM + Disk Cleanup).
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded /hidesp
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
No issues with functioning so far. Tablet is responsive and working as normal.
This update is planned to hit Windows Update next Tuesday.
Tomas

The leaked one (leaked by Microsoft itself, via Windows Update) is the same exact build as the one you installed.
That said, being a user of the leaked build, I can confirm that Windows 8.1 Update 1 is also working fine on the Yoga 2 Pro. This statement comes after ~1 month of testing. The only thing I noticed is that the new update makes the adaptive brightness more evident and more annoying. There is no way to turn it off....and no, I am not talking about the adaptive brightness based on the sensor. This adaptive brightness is based on the display. If you go from a dark image to a light, you will see the screen adjust from a dim to a bright background. Kinda like flux.
