Remove pointer from the left/right click areas of Synaptics touchpad

Just received my U510 a couple of days ago and the touchpad is driving me crazy. My pointer moves around in the left/right click areas of the touchpad which is causes me to continually make the wrong selections because of a slight movement made by my finger in the click area.
I spoke with both hardware and software support at Lenovo and it appears that this is the way it is. They uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and tried to make various adjustments, that I had already tried, without success. I had first level support and they wanted to reinstall the O/S thinking that this was a hardware issue. I tried to explain that I just simply want my right click to be a right click only and my left click to be a left click only in those areas of the touchpad wihtout my cursor/pointer moving while my finger is in those areas. They did not understand.
I am running on Windows 8.1 and have the latest Windows 8 Synaptic driver 16.2.21.3. Lenovo tried to install the driver for 8.1 but it will not install. I don't think it will make a difference anyway.
This really isn't a problem just a major annoyance.
Has anyone tried contacting Synaptics about this? Any suggestions?
Thanks---

Perhaps the person who gave you the silly username can be persuaded to change it?
Very sad you are in such a jam that you've got to ask the people for mercy in this way.
Anyhow, in answer to question, if not a mechanical issue, then perhaps drivers.
If it is mechanical (unlikely) would not recommend you try to fix, send for repair.

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

How can I remove the default right click option of the text Area control?

The iPhone does not store email addresses for received mail. The iPhone stores all email addressees for sent mail in a list of previous recipients. The list of previous recipients is not synced with Outlook or any address book, but the list of previous recipients is included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The auto-addrss feature pulls from your contacts on the iPhone and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail.app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients on the iPhone to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the existing list at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
Hopefully access to the list of previous recipients will be included with the iOS 5 update.

To delete a song from itunes i right click on the song, delete, click on move file to recycle bin, clear the recycle bin but the music is still in my itunes music folder? how do i delete it from itunes and the folder?

Because when i back my computer up all of the music i have tried to delete hasnt been deleted properly so everything is backed up HELP!!!! Please

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

Presentation starts 5" from the left side of screen and pushes intellegence off the screen to the right.

The top of my screen is normal: the tool bar starts "File, Edit...
The body of the screen while running Firefox-and during typing of this message- is full of lite. The actual data: starting from the top of this page- "Firefox Help... Ask a new..." etc. starts 5 1/4 inches from the left of the page.
It's as if Firefox were presenting a wider page with the presentation moved to the right. This pushes the last, normal, 5" of the presentation off the screen.
The rite end of the bar which starts out: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
is off the page, so the facilities at the rite end are lost.
Any presentation, including Amazon.com and Youtube.com are similarly pushed off the rite side of the screen by 5".
I have no access to the rite-most 5" of any internet presentation.
The sliders that move the presentation up and down and left/ rite are off the screen.
I have shrunk the display down so small, i can barely see the numbers: Control panel\ display \ settings \ 1920 by 1200. This gives the ILLUSION of centering the presentation, but still no sliders. At this setting, i can see the full width of Amazon. Youtube appears centered, with 4 1/4" on both left and rite, but no edge sliders.
I dropped the 'setting' to 1440 x 900.
Lost about 3" off the rite side of Amazon; barely on the rite edge of Youtube.
None of my local programming has a problem: Excel, pictures, videos, Word, even Internet Explorer goes full page and centered.
I un-installed Firefox and downloaded it fresh. It did NOT ask me to reboot my puter, so i didn't .
I can supply pictures (screen shots) of the phenomenon on request.

- Open Firefox -> got to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check if its working.

Hi from few days onwards i found one abnormality in my iphone4s .That is if i observe my phone settings screen from right side of the device top navigation bar appearing rightside height is more than the left side. In reverse manner from the left side. I dnt know whether it is default feature of iphone or not but i am really disappointed due to this. So please anyone help me in this issue and let me clear my doubt and make me happy. Thanks in advance.

I believe what you are seeing is an optical illusion when viewing the screen from the side. Try to align one of the one of the options in Settings, like General, with the navigation bar you'll see it does the same thing.
Hope that helps

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

Iphone 5 headphones are not playing from the left mono side. Is it covered by guarantee ?

I have noticed that the large speakers of the headphone from the left side are not playing but the small speakers on the side still work. Is this problem covered by the first year guarantee of the iphone 5 package.

From the apple's discruption I mean the sound output speakers. The left large sound output is not working but the middle is working. Is this covered by the guarantee?
"The speakers inside Apple EarPods have been engineered to minimize sound loss and maximize sound output. So you get high-quality audio that’s just as impressive as what you’d hear from more expensive headphones."

This is a problem of overall design. It is not a scripting issue.
NET USE wil only delete the drive you tell it to delete. You will need to know in advance which drive that is. There is no magic in WIndows. YOu must tel it everything.
Bill suggests GPP which is very easy to use and very flexible. It avoids learning how to write scripts and understand much of Windows. Just set the values and they do allof this for you. There are checkboxes for most issues.
Most of us have not mapped drives since shortly after the release of Vista many years ago. Save your self a lot of headaches and use the tools that were built to do this/

Where are the forward/back, refresh,etc- f11 didn't help nor did dragging from the left of the 'y' as suggested---help?om

Do not have the page forward/back arrows, refresh icon, etc in my toolbar. Saw where this has happened on your page & recommendation was to 'drag' from the left of vertical bar next to the 'Y' in Yahoo- didn't work. Also said to hit the F11 key for Firefox users- didn't work.

Do you have the orange Firefox button, which is an abbreviated menu?
If you have no menus ''and'' no toolbars, check that you're not in full screen mode. Use the F11 key to switch between full screen and normal modes.
To reset your menus and toolbars, you can use Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, close Firefox, hold the Shift key on the keyboard, and restart. You should get a dialog with various reset options. The only one to check is toolbars. More info: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode].
Does that help?

HT201250 how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.

how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup" It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
Boot from the external hard drive.
Erase the internal hard drive.
Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
Clone the internal drive to the external drive
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Do not quit Disk Utility.
Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
