Netflix on Touchpad?

Does anyone know if there are plans to support Netflix on the Touchpad, either via the web browser or through a TP App?

I ping'd the official Netflix twitter account and asked this same question. While the response wasn't from the Netflix account, someone did say it was being worked on. I don't know how official this is however.

Use of Netflix and facebook games on TouchPad

I just received my TouchPad and was hoping that Netflix and some of my facebook games would work on it, is there an update or program that is available to make that happen. I want to be able to take the tablet with me so that I can use it when I get free time to myself during my work day (lunch). Thanks in advance for all the help.

I have no idea about Android for the TouchPad, that's beyond the scope of this forum. XDA is where you should go for that: http://www.xda-developers.com/
Hulu used to work, but I think they locked down their service to only allow PC web browsers access. Mobile browsers are prohibited as far as I know.

Yoga 13 after Win 8.1 update - apps for Netflix, CNN, ESPN, etc. will not play video - WTH?

Can someone point me to where I can download the right driver(s) / updates that fix thw Windows 8.1 mess that crippled video playback in the Modern/Metro Win8 interface please?
I had other issues with wireless (which I fixed by buying a Linsys 802.11ac USB nub - finally decent range & performance), but really want to get this Win 8.1 video playback issue fixed.
OS is Windows 8.1
Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600
System Model 20175
System SKU Lenovo_MT_20175
BIOS Version/Date Lenovo 66N55WW 2/28/2013
BIOS Mode UEFI
HD Graphics 4000 Driver date 10/1/2013
Driver Version 10.18.10.3316
Monitor driver is generic PnP Monitor by Microsoft, dated 6/21/2006
Driver Version 6.3.9600.16384
Purchased the system May, 2013.
Very disappointed that Microsoft/Intel/Lenovo forced this 8.1 "upgrade" on us without having checked it for flaws in operation like this. I've read other people having this, and similar problems, so any fixes / suggestions / links are greatly welcomed.

(Note that all of the following applies only to the Yoga 13)
I think the previous reply is inaccurate in several ways. Let me address each one:
"Seems like the fix for many of our Windows 8.1 update issues is to roll back to the Windows 8 drivers Lenovo offers on its site (Conexant Audio Driver in this case)"
This isn't quite correct. There is no need to "roll back" to any previous driver versions. What actually happened with the Windows 8.1 upgrade is that the Windows installation process reinstalled or refreshed all of the drivers in the system, and for some reason this driver installation process screwed up and left some drivers not functioning correctly. In almost all cases the solution is to simply reinstall that driver with the current/same version. The Conexant driver is the poster child for this problem. The version of the driver that comes with the Windows 8.1 upgrade is the same as the version on the Lenovo site. However it is often necessary to reinstall this driver to get it installed correctly.
I just want to reiterate that this is not a version problem, it's a problem with the way 8.1 reinstalled the drivers. This need to reinstall drivers affected people differently, with some people needing to reinstall other drivers as well, such as the Intel Thermal Framework drivers, etc.
Windows 8.1 comes with newer versions (also newer than the reposted drivers on the Lenovo site) of the network Wifi drivers that for my system have been an improvement. However I have not experienced a lot of the Wifi issues that others have reported. The only issue I have had with Wifi is that it was always a bit slow to connect after coming out of sleep mode (30-60 seconds). After the 8.1 upgrade my Wifi connects very fast (less than 5 seconds).
Windows 8.1 also came with an updated Intel graphics driver that is newer than the one on the Lenovo site. I am not aware of any problems with this new version.
My Yoga 13 is now functioning perfectly after the 8.1 update, although I did have to perform the reinstall of the Conexant drivers, and I had to reapply the fix for the touch screen missing the first swipe. I recommend the list of Yoga 13 fixes mentioned on this site.
"Microsoft or Lenovo should add a setting to the "Configure Windows Update" options - it should be "Wait 6 months after the update is published for it to stabilize"
I don't agree with this as the drivers that come with 8.1 weren't unstable or problematic. Again, the problem is with the 8.1 installation process, and I do agree that Microsoft should work on fixing that. It has certainly caused a lot of people some grief, but it also seems that we have a solution which is the driver reinstalls.
I also don't recommend turning off Windows update.
Finally, it may be that some of the issues you bulleted are more serious than I am aware, as I haven't had all of these problems. I would like to know more about these:
"Kill the video / audio in Windows Apps (aka "Modern" interface) - Netflix, ESPN videos, CNN videos, etc. "
This is certainly a common problem. At least we have the fix for this (reinstall the Conexant drivers).
"Degrade WLAN performance (range and speed)"
I am skeptical that 8.1 is responsible for Wifi issues. Seems like in general the new 8.1 network stack is better. I know that many people had wifi issues prior to the update.
"Fuzz out the resolution / display such that Display has to be turned down from 150% to "small""
I don't know about this issue, so I would like to hear more.
Mess up touchpad, keyboard, tablet-mode keyboard
This again seems more like a problem that existed before 8.1, as many people had issues with this. The most consistent solution seems to be disabling the "ymc" service.

My macbook pro mouse and touchpad is slow and crazy?

it first started was when i was watching netflix and the mouse did not want to move and the mouse started feel slow and when i click something it would be if i right click. Now the mouse is slow and sometimes when i scroll down or up it would be if i press F4 with the touchpad or F3. Sometimes it would get stuck of F3 and i would not be able to use it and i have to restart the computer. When i am using Safari or preview it would zoom and unzoom all the time and it gets annoying. I put on safe mode and it was working right and when it was normal it started going crazy. I heard that if i change the battery the issue would go away is it true?

Go step by step and test.
1. Restart
2. Shut down the computer.
    Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
    System Preferences > Point & Click
    Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after testing.
3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.
4. Reset PRAM:   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
5. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
6. Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Click the Spotlight -the magnifying glass icon- in the menu bar. Enter Disk utility in the box.
    Select Disk Utility from the drop down. When the Disk utility window opens up,
    select Macintosh HD, then First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk    Section: "Try Disk Utility" Permissions button.
    Ignore the time remaining estimate.
    Last 1 minute may take longer.

Netflix streaming doesn't work (support reps said to contact my computer's manufacturer)

Basically I've been unable to stream Netflix on my computer since I bought it in 2012. I contacted Netflix customer support today and we troubleshot for a few hours and their research team determined the issue was my computer was not communicating with my browser(s) properly. They recommended I contact HP about the problem.
Not sure what HP can do to help, but I guess it's worth a shot. :/
My pc is an H8-1110

I am not an HP employee.

It seems when i try to login to Netflix it comes back with email id or password is incorrect (code 117), i can't find anything to fix this, help!!!

I've tried everything, reset, unplug, even have it connected via Ethernet, always the same outcome! I can login on our iMac with no problem!

Finally someone who found the solution. I've been searching for the answer for a while, some people suggest resetting the Apple TV, reverting to the previous firmware, changing password to all numbers, you name it.
The right answer is: make sure to have a password with both letters and numbers. Someone at Apple must have thought to override the password requirements of Netflix, without telling anyone else. They need better change management procedures!

Touchpad no longer scrolls up and down on Satellite A

So my HD crashed and i have to completely install Windows and all the Toshiba stuff with it a new.
All is well - except for one thing, my touchpad no longer scrolls up and down using the side of it in IE or Chrome, but it still works in SeaMonkey.
My Computer technician tells me it's an issue with getting some new driver for the touchpad, and i think i had to do that already about a year ago when i still had my original HD running.
So i went to the Toshiba.ch website and tried to find something.
I found all their "verfication" stuff and got inside the system and it instantly returned about 45 drivers by the looks of my "un"-driving eyeys they all could have been for whatever, so i searched especially for "touch pad" and yes, there was one for my Synapsis touchpad and XP as well, so i downloaded it - or i should say i opened it in Win Zip and checked first on the "readme file - wow, that was some Portugese in there, and that's when i kind of begun to feel lost.
I check in at Toshiba.ch, get a ton of drivers in my face i have no clue whether i am supposed to download them all or what, and when i finally pick what i think i need the whole thing seems to be in Portugese, what the crickey in the afternoon is this???
Anyway, before i download and try to install stuff i have no clue about i was hoping someone would actually give me a better hint on what i have to do exactly to get my touchpad to scroll up and down again also in Chrome, IE and where ever else.
I use Service Pack 3 on Win XP Pro and was told that's maybe why the old original driver for this laptop needs to be updated, but which file, where to get it, and how to properly install it please anyone???

Thanks for that, you confirm what i actually found out myself in the meantime.
The way i got this issue solved was that i first tried to download and install the Synaptics driver from the Toshiba site - that simply failed miserably, glad with no negative side effects at least.
Nesxt i used what unfortunately is way easier that sites like the Toshiba overload, i used Google to simply find the Synaptics website and instantly got the link to their driver download - eh voila, that actually gave me a .exe file, not an endless array of zipped files like the stuff on the Toshiba site in endless language versions!!!
This worked, tested everything out alread since a while.
- Which now leaves me with the question about the second driver you mentioned,
Alps Electric
what is that one needed for??
I have not seen this name on my lappy before, so totally unsure about whether it still needs this dispite things are working everywhere, i did not even have to go into the Device Settings of the Mouse / touchpad to change or rearrange anything in there after the direct download from Synapsis, but well informed is always best, so if you could let me know about that
Alps thing would appreciate...

Unable to see file system on touchpad over USB from Windows 7

When I plug in my HP touchpad running 3.0.4 via USB to my PC running Windows 7 the device appears in device manager, but I don't see a new drive appear with a given drive letter under my computer.
If I look at device manager in windows, I see two webos devices. One is under disks. The other is an unknown device with a question mark next to it.
If I look at the disk from the disk management interface, the disk appears, but doesn't seem to have a drive letter nor a filesystem on it.
If I plug the touchpad into an XP box, it wants to format the drive... which loses my apps.
What did I break? Any way of fixing this?
Thanks!

Before you disconnect the cord from the PC, are you correctly choosing "Eject", or the incorrect "Safely Remove Hardware" from the tool tray?
I've heard the latter can cause confusion on a PC...

Intermittently slow load times from iTunes, while Netflix

TV shows from iTunes sometimes take a long time to load, while content from Netflix & Hulu seem fine. Why does iTunes sometimen indicate that it may take over an hour to load a 45min TV show?

Netflix/Hulu adapts to the connection in order to stream instantly. iTunes content is fixed and will start once enough has loaded. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
720P requires minimum 6mbps for instant stream
1080p needs 8mbps
Check speedtest.net to verify
Interference can also play a role, check istumbler or netstumbler to verify

Touchpad Adobe Reader stuck at opening screen

Hi,
I downloaded the update for adobe reader version 10.3.351 and now the reader is stuck at the opening screen. I have tried opening my pdf files through quickoffice, restarted the touchpad and nothing seems to work. WebOS doctor is not giving me any solutions as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

What have you tried so far? You mentioned webOS doctor; have you run this app yet to bring you device back to its defaults? After using webOS doctor you would have logged back into your webOS account and reloaded you apps to your device, this would have reloaded Adobe 10.3.351 which is the latest version of the app.
Adobe 10.3.351 is the latest version available and is working fine on other Touchpad devices including my own. I am not sure why it would be hanging on your device. Have you installed Preware? If so did you install this back to your device after webOS doctor?

ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Client Failes to Install on HP EliteBook laptops with Synaptics Touchpad drivers

I've come across a fairly frustrating issue that has been taking up way too much of my time that past week or so. The issue started a little after some of our larger sites were migrated from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012. I started getting complaints that one of
our technical workstations (HP 8770w) was not deploying properly. I started investigating the issue and the problem involved the removal of the old ConfigMgr 2007 client and install of the new SCCM 2012 R2 client.
The Windows 7 x64 OS WIM that I am using is one that was migrated from the 07 to 2012 environment and it has been working fine. During the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step the old client is removed and the new one for the 2012 environment installs. There
has not been any issues with this, but I feel something has changed now that we are deploying the 2012 R2 client.
Back to the issue, what happens is that the ConfigMgr client fails to uninstall the old client. Looking in the client.msi_uninstall file you will see that it is unable to locate a couple of SCCM 2007 configmgr client patches that were installed so it can
uninstall it. I get the "Couldn't find local patch ''. Looking for it at its source." line in the uninstall file. When I look for that under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Patches the ENTIRE directory structure is empty. There is not a single item
listed under patches.
Since the only thing that happens in between the pushing down of the WIM and installing the configmgr client is the drivers that is where I started to look. I started over with the basics (disk and network driver) and it was able to complete the OSD process
(like the other 30+ models we currently support). I added drivers one by one having the system re-image each time. When I got to the Synaptics TouchPad drivers the issue would return. I've tried around 5 different drivers offered from the vendor and they
all result in the same behavior.
I'm still actively troubleshooting how to FIX this issue, but I have no idea why this is going on. I thought I would share with the community on this issue and see if anyone else has observed this VERY odd behavior.
Here is a snippet from the client.msi_uninstall log:

@Narcoticoo
I've not used the tool. This issue has also expanded since the original title as I'm getting the same behavior with the driver package that does not include the Touchpad driver anymore. I'm currently going back to just the network and storage driver to see
if it works or not.
However, this is the bigger issue I have:
I have an older build called Build 5.7 internally. Using that WIM and the same driver package (original one that has the Touchpad driver included) it works without issue. Never had a problem.
The new build is called Build 6.0 internally. This WIM and the same driver package has not been working at all.
We support about 35 models with our current Windows 7 x64 image and I am having the same failure issue on four different HP models. They are the 8770w, ZBook 17, Z600 and Z820. The majority of the other systems are Dell devices. Just for transparency sakes,
nothing Dell specific is in the core WIM that is captured.
So, Build 5.7 can deploy just fine on all pieces of hardware with their old driver packages. The new Build 6.0 intalls on almost every platform fine with their old driver packages. These four HP systems are nothing but trouble though. I've opened a case
with HP to see if they have noticed anything internally. I'm not too hopeful, but at least it is something. Maybe there is some odd conflict with a newer Windows patch or some odd dependency on older HP drivers. The new image has .NET 4.5.1, IE 10 and so forth.

Alright so I've been having some issues with my HP Envy 15-Q004TX and the touchpad.
I recently purchased the laptop, and it was going fine.
I decided to speed up the laptop and bought a 500GB SSD to put inside, and install windows. Altough this laptop did not come with a CD, through my University I was able to get an install of Windows 8.1 Professional free, and so I installed that.
So what's my problem?
Well every so often the touchpad begins to spazz out. The cursor begins to jump all over the place, sometimes it will automatically open windows 8's charm bar. Sometimes it just stops working for several seconds. But worst of all, sometimes the two finger scroll will just stop working, and instead of scrolling, the cursor just moves up.
THe only way to fix it, is to go to the mouse settings in the control panel and select 'Reset Devices' and then it just works as normal. Sometimes the mouse will be find for half an hour to an hour, sometimes I will need to reset it after 5 minutes.
What I have done.
Reistalled Windows
Completely uninstalled and deleted drivers
Installed new drivers from the official HP page
Tried other versions of drivers
No matter what I do, it eventually stops working properly. This is incredibly annoying.
If I cannot fix it, I'll take it back and get another.
Thanks very much!

I'm having the exact same issue! Nothing seems to work, HP Suggested a driver down grade, that worked for about 30 minutes.. And also to take my battery out and hold the power button to drain the laptop of static or something, niether worked for longer than an hour!

HP Envy 17334 Touchpad issues

I wanted to let you know these are the things my touchpad has been doing:
-Very sluggish when first logging in to the computer.
-Randomly opens up windows that the arrow hovers over but I don't click on.
-Jumps around.
-Makes the window half screen.
-And just now when I logged on the slight tap on the left side doesn't work anymore and I have to click it all the way for it to take action. Last week the right click didn't work.
I have noticed that when you right click on the button on the lower right bar that looks like a index finger (says HP Control Zone when hovering over it) that if I go to Pointing Device Properties, then HP Control Zone Settings and click on Reset Devices, then click OK, that it worked just fine, but I have to do it EVERY time I log in to the computer, and then this last time when logging on, everything worked fine EXCEPT the left side light tap doesn't work: I have to click once hard instead of soft tap to get it to work when wanting to open up something.
I Googled problems people are having that are just like the ones I am having with the touchpad on the Envy and I have to say that this is quite frustrating and I'm scared I'll have the same results they have had, which with all of the things they tried -- only a few people seemed to have success with what troubleshooting techinques that were suggested to them. Some have actually even exchanged and gotten brand new computers and then had the SAME PROBLEM!?? Is this because the touchpad is a relatively new design and not perfected? I just bought this computer and like everything about it except obviously this problem -- A regular mouse works just fine, but I can't use a mouse most of the time because this computer will be used while travelling which I will be doing a lot of. HELP! If I send it in do be worked on will it even help as some of the people I've seen online are saying they are still experiencing problems.

HP ENVY 15-q014tx Issues with touchpad and mouse

Dear HP,
I recently bought this laptop and it have been giving me problems ever since.
Let me start with the touchpad issue. It started out with my touchpad having issues but I shrugged it off as I thought it would've disappeared. It did. But it comes back ever so often I find it hard to ignore anymore. It works as and when it feels like working. The touchpad jumps around the page and clicks when I try to move it around. I can't even scroll up and down with my 2 fingers. I searched and there is no updates available for all my drivers.
Another issue is when I plug in my mouse, the computer suddenly becomes extremely jumpy. For example, when I watch a video on youtube or any other website (I've tried on all browsers), the video will suddenly stop and it will emit a buzzing noise as though it has been hung and shortly after continues where it has left off. I realise if I change the power option from power saving to high performance this will occur less often. But recently, I feel that it happens too often even when it is plugged in and at high performance. I've called in about this issue and have been waiting for a return phone call ever since. I have yet to receive a return call. (I have since taken a video of what happened so you can better relate to what I meant)
Another problem that I have made a temporary fix for is that my computer is unable to shutdown when I do a proper shutdown. I have since made a shortcut key that does a shutdown command to turn off the computer.
I really hope I can get this fixed asap. I await your favourable reply.
Best Regards,
Edward
Edit. I forgot to add that I ran a full hardware scan by restarting the computer, pressing F2 and then running a Extensive System Test. Everything passed

HP Envy 17 Touchpad Issues

Product name: HP Envy m6 Notebook PC
Product number: G5N44UA # ABA
Hello,
For the past couple of weeks my touchpad has the pointer moving erratically on the screen. It sometimes responds to my commands to click or to scroll, but most of the time it moves very slow, highlights the text on the screen when I don't want it to, clicks on things I don't click on, and this morning the pointer was moving on its own without me even touching it. I've tried downloading the latest synaptics pointing device that I've read on other posts from the HP discussion boards, but to no avail. What should I do to fix this?

Please click on the below shown like to download and re-install the touchpad drivers:
