Reinstalling Yoga 2 Pro Custom Apps

Hello,
I made a fresh intall of Win 8.1 Enterprise on my new Yoga 2 Pro.
This formatted the main OS partition.
After the fresh OS install, I installed all the drivers that were on the small Lenovo software partition of the laptop's hard drive. I also installed everything from WIndows Update.
Unfortunately, it seems that I cannot install all the "custom" Windows Store Apps that come with the laptop and take advantage of the different laptop modes (tent etc). The "Lenovo Recommends" app starts, but only offers suggestions for laptop mode and stand mode. All in all, the Win Store infra seems to think I am using a common Thinkpad and is not allowing to use any spacial Yoga 2 Pro stuff.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!

I seem to recall a thread that discussed the issue of OEM installs being able to access the Lenovo apps through the Windows Store, while "clean" installs could not. I will continue searching and will post a link to the discussion if/when I find it.
Regards.
Edit to add:
Have a look at this >> http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/Where-to-download-Lenovo-Windows-8-Apps/m-p/1084663
As I read it, application of the fresh install license key is what causes the Lenovo "exclusive" apps to no longer be offered. The Windows store app keys in on the OEM license embedded in the UEFI/BIOS, as designed by Microsoft.

Help - Yoga Pro 3 Apps Will Not Open

I am looking for some help troubleshooting why my apps will not work.
I click on an app, the app begins to initialize, but then immediately closes. I am then sent back to the windows start screen. Any app I attempted to open will show up in the task manager side bar, but the apps will still not open if clicked from the sidebar.
Any help would be appreciated!

While doing a clean install may be the final solution know that you have to visit multiple locations on your drive to "properly' remove DVDSP. There is a technote on this topic. An incomplete removal only seems to complicate things.
Create a new account as Hal has suggested and see what happens. If it does not work focus on getting the current DVDSP off the drive(leaving other pro apps in place), ditch preferences, and fix permissions.
Using both accounts do a random check of the remianing apps to make sure there is not a complex issue happing on your drive.
Reinstall DVDSP but open the app (not your project) first in the new account. If all si well then do the same for your account.
If all remains well then open your project. If it works then you are gold; if it doesn't at least you have knowledge that something within your project is off balance.
OT: This is one of those "dark arts" ideas that seems logical to me but has no practical justification. With DVDSP off take your project folder and move it to the Public folder. Then fire up DVDSP and open the project. You'll get the broken links message so point to the new location and let the links rebuild. This task might fix things behind the scenes.

How to reinstall Dragon Assistant for my Yoga Pro 2

I uninstalled Dragon Assistant from my Yoga Pro 2 due to some driver issue and now I want to reinstall it back. Where can i find the installation program? Anyone can help? Thank you.

split screen only works on metro apps. you need to use the snap for desktop apps. You can run Metro IE and split screen it with MS Word.

How to uninstall Logic Pro 8 and Reinstall Logic Pro 7.2?

For numerous reasons I'd like to uninstall Logic Pro 8 and return to Logic Pro 7, the reasons for which I'd rather not discuss, as I'd like to focus on the reinstallation task.
Apple states that Logic Pro 7 still functions, but this is not entirely correct. Since many instruments were replaced, the complex 50-track songs that I painstakingly mixed on pure LP7 (prior to the upgrade) now sound completely different in LP7 post-LP8 install (as well as LP8 as you can imagine). It seems that the levels are actually different on some of the EXS and other instruments. Yes, Apple says they are richer and better, but I really don't care. I am in the middle of a CD and need to return to the state I was in prior to the upgrade.
Ultimately I'd like to reinstall Logic Pro 7 and/or its content in order to get all of my original instruments back.
Does anyone have a procedure for this? Should I uninstall Logic Pro 8 and then perform a complete reinstall of Logic Pro 7 following Apple's procedure? Or should I simply use Pacifist to replace the content files that were replaced? Will any of my preferences (plug-in settings) be lost during a reinstall? Should the rest of Logic Studio be uninstalled as well?
Thanks so much in advance.
P.S. I'm just looking for a procedure and do not wish to discuss the reasons, which you'll find all over the forums.

Thank you.
Regarding copying the settings, these should all be in my personal user folder, correct? My plugin settings should all reside here as I understand. Would ANY customized settings reside anywhere OTHER than my user folder? *Yes, everything should live here, but it never hurts to snoop around the other folders just in case.*
I had modified some EXS instrument settings, but did not import new ones.
Where would the personal EXS settings exist - in my user folders or elsewhere? *All exs are stored Library / Application Support / Logic or GarageBand. The audio files for instrument should be stored there as well. You will need to copy and save both the instrument file and the associated audio files*.
If I simply modified an EXS instrument within a song, my understanding is that would be a property of the song itself, correct? *Yes, if you did not save the exs instrument as new instrument, it settings are stored with the song.*
Also,
Which folders am I deleting when I "delete both versions of Logic"? *You can delete ANY and all folders associated with them. Delete them out of the Apps folder, utilities, and Application support*.
And how would I delete the new Logic 8 content - where does it reside? *The Library. Not in front of my mac so sorry I can't be more specific.*
I just spoke to Apple and they recommended an "Erase and Restore" of the entire system, and a reinstall of Logic 7 in order to get me back to where I was - do you agree? *Yes, that is the preferred method but only if you are willing or in a position to start from scratch i.e re-installing all 3rd party apps, hardware drivers ect. Remember to back up all your important files.*
Thanks!

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?

Ready to install fresh win 8.1 on new Yoga Pro 2

So, I just got my yoga pro 2 Friday. Can't stand the extra stuff and 7 particians.
I've got a usb stick with a copy of win 8.1 on it. I can boot to it and get the windows installer started ( I stopped at the partiican table)
I got the drivers folder from the D: on the yoga backed up.
Got my win 8.1 pro product key written down.
Don't think I will need any of the lenovo apps.
Nothing else I need, right? I did actually make a system image of the fresh install on another external drive when I got it, so if i did need to go back, I can.
The windows installer will take care of all partiicans, correct? I'm new to EUFI boot. I can see that legacy mode is disabled in the bios now.
Thanks for any help. Looking forward to a clean install. Wish I could have gotten this from a MIcrosoft store instead so I don't have to deal with it.
Solved!

seems you're already ready.

Need to reinstall Premiere Pro CC but Creative Cloud says it's Up to Date

I downloaded Premiere Pro CC for a trial. I uninstalled it thinking CS6 would work better, but then discovered CC is better for the files I'm using. I want to reinstall, but my Creative Cloud menu said Premiere Pro CC is Up to Date, so it won't let me. Another forum said to Uninstall, but I've already done that (cannot find a Premiere Pro CC folder or Uninstall file.) Please advise! Thank you!

Brooklynharvest please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html for information on how to reinstall Premiere Pro.

I am trying to reinstall Premiere Pro 6

I have tried to reinstall premier pro 6- have deleted original program- gone to CC for new download and all I can do is get an update which of course can not find the original program??

Andrew Sparber which update specifically are you being prompted to install? Please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html if you do not have the option available to install Premiere Pro CC.
In order to install Premiere Pro CS6 please see Install both CC and CS6 apps - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-cc-and-cs6-apps.html.

We need to cancel / delete further use of B2B custom app installed on ipad. how can we do this. we dont care that the redemption code is reusable. we just want to disable the app on the ipad. how can this be done ?

we need to disable a previously provided b2b custom app on a non supervised ipad. can we cancel the redemption code to stop access to the app for the user who used the code? any help is appreciated.

Wow, sorry to hear of your experience. Seems strange that your disk would just eject like they did. It could be a lot of things but more than likely you just kind of have to start all over.
What I would do is insert your system disk and instead of going immediately to an install I would go to disk utility and erase the drive. That will erase everything on the disk and give you a new blank disk to start with. After that I would try to reinstall the system. Assuming that goes well then you should be restored to where it was when you purchased it. After that you can reinstall all your applications or personal files. I hope you have good backups.
I remember one time I was having a similar problem and don't ask my why I did it but I actually could not get it to install a system. I removed both of my ram sticks, shut the computer down for about 10 minutes including unplugging it from the wall plug, then reinstalled the ram, plugged it back in and started up from the system disk and all worked just fine. To this day I have no idea if pulling the ram helped but I have never had to do it since and for some dumb reason that solved the problem I was having, which is the same problem you are having now. Call it voodoo but it worked.
Good Luck!!

Yoga Pro 2 on External Monitor...but low resolution

Although my Yoga Pro 2 connects properly to my Viewsonic monitor (thank you, Monoprice, for the micro-HDMI adapter and the HDMI to DVI cable), the best resolution I can get is 1440x900 (the native resolution of the last computer connected) which makes everything look GIGANTIC on the monitor and doesn't show the detail of the 3200X1800 Yoga Pro screen.
Intel drivers are updated, Viewsonic monitor drivers for win8/x64 all set. Viewsonic says it a Lenovo issue...Lenovo so far can't help me. I have tried changing view/zoom in every software program and app, but that's not the solution I want. Even 1900X ???? would be better.

PATIENCE...
First, it is most likely the microHDMI fitting inside the yogapro. It is very deep. When you put a micro HDMI adapter in to connect it to whatever it needs to connect to to ultimately reach your monitor, it must be firmly seated.And it feeels like it is..but probably not.
Monoprice.com offers 2 microHDMI adapters: part 7703 and part 7603. Either one should work...but you may need to take an emery board or nail file to the plastic housing around the actual part that goes into your machine. That's because you need a long reach to the actual socket inside the YP2. From there I use the monoprice HDMI-DVI cable to attach to my monitor (LG, but not important. Only important thing is that the ratio of width/height is 1.7778, or 1920x1080 etc)
Make sure the monitor is turned on....and start JIGGLING. Be 100% sure that the YP2 is sitting on a very hard surface, granite, corian, etc...and that the machine doesn't get moved around at all. Do not put it on a cooling pad, or a place mat or anything squooshy like that. Keep a bunch on small thin things around as you jiggle...because at some point you are going to succeed and you must not jar anything as you put the need supports to maintain that crucial angle VERY CAREFULLY in place. It is tedious...but the result is worth it. And then deciding on your personalization will keep you busy.
As much as I like the YP2 as a computer...I have never used it as a tablet (iPhone/Kindle user) and probably never will because the task of getting the Micro HDMI adapter seated properly is something that is hateful enough that I don't want to move the machine once it is working with the external monitor. Furthermore, the personalization setting are different for me with/without external monitor and not worth the hassle.

Yoga Pro 2 Can't Connect to Windows Store

I have a 3 day old Yoga Pro 2 with Windows 8.1. I love it... But it won't connect to the Windows Store (just says there's no internet connection). I Googled this and found lots of advice on the Microsoft Forum as many people have had issues connecting to the store. ... Check anti virus, clear store cache, run a trouble shooter, check user settings etc none of which have worked. I put a post on the Microsoft Forum and but because it's a new machine users there say it's a Lenovo problem?
Please help because there's no point in the Start page without apps and I may as well swop it for an Apple.

Hi,
Firstly, try to use WSRESET command to clear Store cache for test.
In addition, Use APP trouble shooter to fix it.

I recently fixed my computer and need to reinstall logic pro 9 but I can't find the booklet with my serial number, is there any other way I can get the serial number for logic pro 9 (box)?

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

I have tried to contact both the developer and Apple. No one takes responsibility. This is just an example of a successful developer trying to push the envelope and ripping the good customer off. Tell your friends to stop funding this ripoff!
