Problem push and hold on a Surface Pro tablet's touch screen
Hi,
I tried posting this before, but I can't find my origional post so I hope I'm not spamming accidentally.
I have a problem with my program on a Windows 8.1 Surface Pro tablet. I programmed a button to be 'push-and-hold', but when I touch the tablet nothing happens until I release my finger. This briefly controls the button. When I connect a USB mouse to the tablet, it responds normally; when I press the left mouse button: the button in my program goes down until I release the mouse button. I tried about every setting in the Touch section of the Windows control panel without any succes.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Press and hold on a Surface pro touch screen
Hi,
I am having some problems with my Surface Pro, trying to control a relay 'press-and-hold'. When I connect a mouse to the Tablet, Windows registers the left mouse up and down events perfectly, allowing the user to control the relay exactly the way I intended, but when I use the touch screen with either the stylus pen or my finger it only seems to press the LabVIEW on release.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I just tested this on my touchscreen laptop and got a similar behavior. Windows doesn't seem to be registering the left click when you touch the screen until you release. My guess is that this is related to the press+hold for right click functionality on Windows. When I touch and hold for over a second, I get a right click, but when I touch and hold for a shorter time, I get a left click that only registers when I take my finger off. This is consistent with the way that the Windows UI handles touch as well (test the start button for an example).
Interestingly, if I change the mechanical action of the LabVIEW boolean to 'Switch Unit Released' I can't actually toggle the button ever because the press and hold does not register as a left click, and eventually registers as a right click.

Actually, this is expected behavior. Try clicking a button on any Windows app, then, while holding down the button, move off of it. The button does not register as pressed. This feature has saved me any number of times.
edit:
Or do you mean it doesn't even depress the button?

Whenever I put my earphones into my iPod Touch 2g the music isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in order to hear the song normally. It isn't the earphones because I tried another pair, that worked fine, and there was still no difference. I also use the same pair of earphones in my laptop and it sounds great. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to buy a brand new iPod touch? Do I need to clean it or something? And if so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Likely not worth it for your old 2G iPod

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
When Will Microsoft Fix The Problem With Hosted Networking on a Surface Pro 3?

Windows 8.1 with all patches.

A Microsoft member said it would be better to raise it in technet.

The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted network couldn't be started.

One of the comments in the thread said:
"I have the same issue on a Surface pro 3.
It is related to the fact that they removed VAP support from the wifi driver."
Now a new wifi driver was included with the latest firmware update (01/15/2015) but it did not fix the problem.

Please note this is a Surface Pro 3 problem as it works on a Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8.1.
This problem has been reported to Microsoft by me and I was told "the developers are working on it." That was six months ago. I see posts going back a year saying the problem was reported to Microsoft Support.

Do you have a case number? From

you've had a couple of contacts with support.
If you provide case numbers, it would be helpful in escalating further. And more
specifically, it might help someone from Microsoft determine IF the issue has
been escalated. While Microsoft has been doing work on the wifi driver for
nearly the entire time since the SP3 was released, there is no information
anywhere as to whether this bug is known or not.
As you also know, I sent it in to the"right" people inside Microsoft and as you
also know, I did not get a response. (I'm an end user just like you even though
I'm a Community Moderator on the Surface Forum in Communities).

Can't open Skype in Surface Pro Tablet
Skype works great on my desktop PC. But I have a problem with my Surface Pro Tablet. There is a Skype App and I can log on to my account.
The Problem:
There is a lot of stuff in the App that I don’t care about, but I don’t see where I can open the Skype page where my contacts are and make calls.As best as I can remember I quit trying to use the App, but went directly to Skype* and logged on to my account and then was able to see my regular Skype page. Hope that helps.

Does anyone have experience running PS (and/or LR) CC on a Surface Pro 3? Good? Bad? Ugly? Comments or recommendations?
I do not use lightroom Photoshop runs well on the surface pro 3. You may have a problem with the size of Photoshop's UI. CC 2014 2x UI option works Photoshop UI almost all Photoshop UI fits one screen withe the 2x UI option enabled. You would be wise to add a bluetooth mouse. And if you want to use Photoshop im tablet mode without a keyboard look into touchkey. Adobe need to create new touch friendly UI for managing tools use as you uses them.
For older versions of Photoshop CC and prior you can make a registry mod and add external Photoshop Manifest to have Widdows scale what Photoshop display. Here is a comparison of CC 2014 2x UI and Windows scaling. The big difference is Windows scaling also scale the image Photoshop to a lower resolution while 2x UI does not. Windows scaling presets are 100% 1x, 125% 1.25x, 150%, 1,5x and 200% 2x. -
Trouble with deploying Win 8.1 and Office 2013 to Surface Pro 2
Setup; Win2012R2, WDS 6.3.9600.16384, MDT 2013 (6.2.5019.0), Surface Pro 2 128GB, MS USB Ethernet adapter
Issue 1: the TFTP transfer of the PE image is Extremely slow. 10 Mbps. Have tried to adjust Maximum Block Size without any improvement.
Issue 2: When I try to deploy both Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 the TS fails. It will not (start) installing the Application - the log confirms that it starts the script, but ends up with ZTI Heartbeat forever.
If I install Windows first and after the OS installation connect to the MDT server and start a TS With just Office 2013 it works without problem.
The disturbing part here is that if I use the same TS With both OS and Office on a Hyper-V Virtual machine it works...

Surface Pro 3 Blank Lock Screen
My Surface Pro 3 (i7, 8GB RAM, 256Gb SSD) is unusable at the moment. I'm running Windows 10 Technical Preview latest public build.
Went to use it today but it is stuck on a blank lock screen. Have tried rebooting by holding down power button, waiting and then restarting but it just reboots back to a completely blank lockscreen. I see the mouse cursor but nothing else. Tried everything!
If I power down by holding power button I see the lockscreen asking me to swipe down to power off but I see nothing else.
It is completely stuck right now with now way to login and use it let alone refresh or update it.You may try burn Windows 10 ISO file on a DVD and boot with it and try to reinstall it.
