Problems with Twist Before and after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

I'm not sure if this is a problem on Windows' end or Lenovo's, but here it goes. Problems AFTER Windows 8.1 update:
1.) When I close the computer, even though the power management settings are set to put the computer to sleep, it only goes to sleep about 50% of the time. If I don't catch it, that means the battery will drain completely while I'm under the impression it's sleeping. The kicker is, even if I do catch it, I can't get the computer to turn back on. The screen stays black until I hold the power button down and force the computer to turn off and restart it.
2.) iTunes will not open. I don't get any numbered error message, just a message that it failed. I've tried running iTunes in compatibility mode, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, to no avail.
Problems BEFORE:
1.) When I first got the computer, it was super quiet. Now the fan is pretty loud and buzzy. It seems that it may even be brushing something, because if I push the bottom up ever so gently, the sound goes down by half. Not a huge issue, but especially noticeable when I'm in tablet mode.
I know that at least the last one isn't a unique problem. I can kind of live with that, but the first two are really driving me nuts.

I made the mistake of loading W8.1 on my Twist without realizing how raw and bug prone the preview really could be. The backout would require reloading a lot of applications, and this is not my primary PC, so I am toughing it out. Saw updates load. Current build is 9431.
I am currently uninstalling software and updates until I get a stable environment again. Here is some general feedback...
I have not had an issue with the Lenovo System Update running. I suggest you do ONE update at a time.
50% of the shutdown/reboots fail and I need to hard power off with the power button
Manually loading the latest Intel video driver software caused MAJOR problems. Many programs simply did not run and everything was locking up. Backing that out motivated me to remove other stuff. The Lenovo System Update is offering to install a driver which I will attempt after all other firmware and drivers are updated.
I use the Classic Shell v3.6.8 on the desktop. I thought the 8.1 would return the start button, but I assume that Classic Shell is overriding that.
Like others, I have had trouble getting the Juniper VPN software to load and work. Trying to back everything out, but the virtual juniper nic is still showing up in the device manager.
I am usually a reader of discussion forums and not a poster. I will do my best to post my resolutions as well as issues.

Have either of you had any luck with this issue. It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes. I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Issue with Lightroom CC 2015's before and after (\) - Windows 7

Okay, I downloaded Lr CC 2015 and everything is working great except for one thing - before and after. I edit an image then move to another (settings synced but needs a few refinements). I finish the edit and hit \ to take a look at where it started. When I do so, Lr decides to go back to the previous image, thinks about it, then shows me the before of the correct image. After the first time pressing \ it doesn't happen again, unless you move to another image. A little irritating, but something I can put up with. Is anyone having the same issue? Everything is up to date; graphics, OS, etc. Also worth noting, this does not happen with Lr 5.7.
Any ideas, or should I post a bug report over on feedback.photoshop.com?
Thank you,
Benjamin

Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

I am having so many problems with my ipads and my computers since I upgraded to Yosemite on my desktop! I have never been so frustrated with Apple. My apple at work also has a virus problem and my other MAC keeps rebooting!! My MAC at home burned

Problems with Yosemite: virus (malware), rebooting, burned hard drive, ipads keep losing wifi.

You're going to have to be more specific about the symptoms you're seeing. At the moment, I really have almost no idea at all what's going on. Also, be aware that upgrading your Mac to Yosemite has no effect whatsoever on your iPads.
If you're having a lot of ad problems or redirects in the web browsers on all these devices, you probably have some kind of network compromise, such as hacked network hardware:

L755-S5306 problems with hibernation and sleep - windows 7.

Hi, as subject says, I have a L755-S5306 Laptop. It came with pre-installed windows 7. I keep it with latest updates both from Toshiba and Microsoft. The problems comes when my system hibernates (usually by low battery, and sometimes from windows' start menu) or sleeps. When I start back the laptop it passes two or three minutes and I get a "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" BSOD. Sometimes when returning the system from sleep the screen remains off.
Another thing that happens at starting system (turning on the system, turning on after hibernation or after a re-start): When the boot screen appears (the one that says "Toshiba") then it advances to hardware recognizement and it re-starts and shows again the "Toshiba" screen and remains re-starting until I press the power button.
If you can help me to solve this, it would be awesome, thanks in advance.

Having a problem with my mac and wy windows network!

Hi all! this is my first post, se please forgive any etiquette errors!
I have bootcamp installed on my macbook, as the company i work with has a completely windows setup, but i would like to get away from this and be able to use my mac as it was intended!
However, i am having a couple of problems...
I can connect to the network via VPN, and get given an IP address.
I can ping other machines on the network via IP address
I can connect to machines using microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection by entering their IP address.
That is all fine and dandy! Then come my questions, which i have tried to research, but have hurt my head with the complicated array of manuals, guides, hints, tips etc, and was wondering if anyone here would be lovely enough to give me a step by step how-to or two!
I cannot mount the main server's file share (windows 2003)
I cannot ping or remote desktop to a machine by its name (which is a problem, as they are all on DHCP!)
I cannot connect Mail to the exchange 2003 server (ideally this would work without being connected to the VPN, as is possible in windows through RDP via HTML... or some such initials!)
Any help yould be very much appreciated!

A small problem with a JScrollPane and child windows

Hi !
I have created a customized JComponent inside a JScrollPane and when my application starts I create two JTextField's that I put in the JComponent and so far it all works fine to start with, but when ever the JComponent is redrawn after that the JTextField's are overdrawn or at least are not visible any longer...
Do I need to repaint the sub components of my own JComponent myself or am I doing something very wrong here ?

a JComponent with some drawing going on in paint()

Ooppps !
Forget about it, I forgot to put a super.paint( g) at the top of my paint method, that was the problem.

Problem with starting Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8.1 after PC weak up from sleep

Hello,
I have continuously problems with Photoshop CS6. After weak up my PC from sleep mode Photoshop take ages to start. It take about 15 minutes than it starts. After restart it's just fine and Photoshop start up in few seconds. Before with Windows 8 was everything ok.
I tried reinstall whole Creative Suite, delete all files from system folders of Photoshop, no plugin used, all is up to date!
CS used: Creative Suite Design Standard CS6, Czech language (Photoshop 13.01 64 bit and 32 bit - both do the same)
System: PC, Windows 8.1 64bit Czech language, system and program discs: Intel and Corsair SSD, CPU Intel i7 4Ghz, 24GB RAM, Graphic - Nvidia Geforce 580 GTX (graphic drivers up to date).
Adobe need to fix that.
Thanks for help, it's really annoying problem.

Along with all the other problems in this world that are all Adobe's fault.
OK so this all went pear shaped after updating Windows to 8.1? Have a look at Preferences > Performance and see if Graphics acceleration is still checked. Or it might even be greyed out. Apparently the 8.1 installer arbitarily installs a generic graphics card driver, so you might find that your drive is not so up to date as it used to be.
You know that you need to update it from the card maker's site?

Bug: Before and After Margins Layout with section starting in right page

Hi,
I am using the Spanish version of Pages 09. I have observed that when I start a new section, I have no problems setting the layout margins (right, left, before, after) of this section.
But if a set that the new section must start in a right page, then the "before" and "after" margins of the layout doesn't work.
Is this the same in English versions of Pages?
Regards,

I see what you are saying.
The problem is Pages seems to have a memory of how you arrived at that layout.
When I construct the pages, it is correct.
I am trying to find out what is interacting in your layout to cause this to happen. It is like there is a hidden inaccessible layout break on the blank inserted page.
I have been tearing my hair out trying to work out what triggers it off. As I experimented with the combinations of settings in Facing pages, Section layouts and which page it starts on, it erratically switches back and forth.
This is why I gave up on Pages years ago as a serious layout tool. It has too many of these raw, poorly thought out interactions. I use a lot of different applications and none of them, that I can think of, have so many of these mind twisting raw oddities. Odd for a supposed user friendly application.
All the rest are pretty literal, you apply the settings and end up with a logical result of those settings. If the result is not what you wanted it is a matter of tracking what is interacting with what and straightening it out. Pages has the annoying "design" of inexplicably greying out functions for no stated reason, that prevents correction. Or hiding the access to the tools to those settings. You can only get to some of them if you have explicitly done something to make them possible. The rules as to what that "something" is, are not apparent nor in most cases explained in the User Guide or the User Interface.
There may be a "reason" why the function is greyed out but it is not revealed to the user without an enormous amount of detective work and as in this case my sleuthing abilities are failing me completely. I might try it again tomorrow after a rest (it is very late here). Either way it is a huge time waster.
This is fundamentally bad User Interface design and what I have railed against since Apple changed shifts, bringing in the OSX programmers who never really got the polished UI of the original Mac OS and have been cooking with Fanta* ever since.
Peter
* This is an anecdote originally told by Peter Russell-Clarke, a well known and creative Australian chef back in the 70's. He was berated in the street by a woman who told him that his recipe for +Duck à l'orange+ was "disgusting". When he cross examined her, he found she didn't eat fresh fruit so had made the orange sauce with Fanta.
I use this to try and get the message over to clients when they insist on "substituting" material because "what's the difference". The trouble with people who can't tell the difference is that they rarely ever do, no matter how carefully it is demonstrated to them.
