Thinkpad X1 Mouse Issues with USB 3.0 Dock and WIndows 8.1

I have a new X1 (3444-CUU) that I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. When I connected to the Thinkpad USB 3.0 Dock, there was an automatic updated of the firmware on the docking station.
Everything seems to be working except issues with my Keyboard and Mouse.Periodically, the mouse will disappear of the keyboard will simply stop working. Most recently, it was as if the delete key was stuck causing it to delete all my email (actually a feature I liked but unfortunately, can't allow).
Is there a known issue with wireless keyboard?

I have a possibly similar issue that seems to be related to the keyboard dock. In my case this is with logitec unified receiver, but what I found may help you narrow the issue's root cause.
I found that after a reboot, the dock's USB ports (bothh SS or USB 3.0) will not recognize logitech's unified receiver. Even though it is Windows reporting it, it seems to be related to the hardware. What I do to have minimally invasive 'functioning' system is to undock the Helix (use as tablet). This makes the genuine USB 2.0 port of the tablet accessible. I then plug the receiver into that port and wait until the mouse is recognized. Then remove the receiver, re-dock the tablet on the keyboard dock and plug the receiver into the dock's usb 3.0 port. Then everything works.
That seems to somehow circumvent part of the refreshing of the USB connected devices and allows them to work correctly.
I wonder if that addresses your issue. Of course I am opening another thread and ticket with that issue (will post a link after that)

  • Recommendations for external monitor in combination with USB 3.0 dock and X1 carbon touch

    Dear Community,
    I'm waiting for my X1 carbon touch and USB 3.0 dock and keyboard/mouse to arrive any time soon. However, I'd be glad to get some help/recommendations on external monitor choice.
    For instance, the new HP envy 27" caught my eye, since it includes speakers, but it comes with HDMI and Displayport connections only. As far as I understood, video connection itselft shouldn't be a problem using a DVI to HDMI adaptor, but how about the resolution of the X1 vs. a HD+ monitor, and how do I use the audio on this monitor (don't want to use the microphone jack in front of the dock, as it should look as minimalistic as possible)?
    Is there a solution? via usb 3.0? or should I better consider another monitor? Anyways, DVI or HDMI, I don't want to connect a separate audio system to the dock. Any recommendations, or is it one of those gadgets that  has not been thought through well enough and you need to wait for the next generation to be developed?
    Many thanks for your help,
    Cheers, jcd

    Since you don't want to use the jack on the dock, you could usethemini-DisplayPortontheX1cTouchasyourvideooutputoption because the version of DP on the X1c Touch includes the ability for audio to streamed over the DP connection in addition to video. This would require a compatible DP monitor. 
    You'll also want the monitor to support audio over the DP connection. The X1c Touch's graphics supports the output of an audio stream over DP and the machine should be be capable of this. This gives you two cables connecting to the X1c Touch -- the DP cable for audio and video and the USB 3.0 cable connecting to the dock. The dock would be attached to keyboard, mouse, USB accessories, and Ethernet (if necessary). 
    As far as what to look for in a monitor, my general recommendation is Dell Ultrasharp. They tend to be a good deal for an IPS monitor with at least an sRGB gamut and a solid warranty. I've never bothered to attempt to stream audio over DP because I have separate speakers for audio. In the same way that my last 3 laptops have been ThinkPads, my last three monitors have been Dell Ultrasharps. The graphics in the X1c Touch should be fine running a 1920x1080, so I wouldn't worry about resolution. It can be a little jarring to use monitors side-by-side when they have different pixel densities, so you'll likely end up treating them as separate display surfaces. I often have e-mail and Pandora open on my T420's screen while I'm doing the bulk of my work on my main monitors. If you think you'll be touching the screen a good bit, then you might want to look into buying a touch capable monitor. Otherwise your brain can become easily confused because it'll begin to think that all computer screens are touch-capable and you'll reach out and try to touch your desktop monitor without thinking.

  • Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

    Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to  64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working."  I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

    Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
    Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
    I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .

  • Display and sound issues with One Link Pro Dock and X1

    When my computer is connected to the dock and shut down there is a buzzing that comes from the external speakers that the dock is connected too.
    Same thing happens if I leave the dock connector not connected.
    What is causing this feedback and can anything stop it?
    Display wise, my external monitor goes black every 30 minutes or so for 5 seconds and then comes back.
    I am running Windows 8.1 if that matters.

    "I don't know if my problem relates to this...but I cannot seem to keep my ethernet connection.  I have two monitors (+laptop) working....occassionally screen goes black for a second....can live with that...but...why do I keep loosing my internet connection....anyone else have this problem.  My IT guys say the problem is with the docking station but cannot pinpoint reason."
    This is (unfortunately) a known issue. See this very, very long thread:

  • Driver Issues with HP Officejet Pro 8600 and Windows 8

    I have to reinstall the printer driver for my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 wireless printer each time I power up my laptop. I do not have any issues with this printer when using my PCs and my antroid tablet.  Once the driver is reinstalled I can print my documents however it becomes "offline" whenever I log off and then log back onto my laptop.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Shrn 
    I read your post about how your printer will disconnect and show offline on your laptop, each time the computer is restarted. As this only happens on your laptop, the problem could be with a firewall running on your computer.
    I would suggest checking your firewall settings and ensure you're allowing the printer to connect within the firewall.
    This link may help: How to Edit Firewall Settings
    You could also try running the Print and Scan Doctor when you restart your computer to see if this tool will pick up the printer on the network and connect it to your computer again.
    Another option, would be to try a Clean Boot, which will turn off all Start Up Programs on your laptop to see if another program could be blocking the printer from connecting to it during a restart. Make sure to go back and enable the programs again after you have tested this out.
    Let me know your findings and what happens!

  • Issues with old version of Quicktime and Windows Vista

    I have recently upgraded a PC of mine to Vista. In doing so, I seem to have issues installing an old application that used Quicktime 1.6 (yes, 1.6, you read that right). It is an old piano teaching application called Piano Discovery) that uses QT1.6 to play video and audio files as part of the instructional process. It was originally written to run on Windows 3.1. The problem is that sometimes it will install in Vista and sometimes it will not. It seems that if a fresh clean install of vista is done, and the program is installed immediately thereafter, before any updates from microsoft, it works. But not always. When it does not work, trying to install QT1.6 as part of the program installation results in the following error:
    QTINSTAL caused a general Protection Fault in module QT16INST.EXE at 0002:5DA9
    The installation then fails. Now you are all probably wondering why I don't use a newer version of Quicktime. Tried that. Won't work, unless there's something I need to do to quicktime settings to make it look like the older version so the piano software will recognize it and use it.
    I realize I may be SOL here, but thought I would post in hopes that someone might have a solution. Thanks.

    Ok, so you need to install this on multiple systems and need to determine what steps work and which ones don't as the variables that you can discern don't seem to play a role... repeating what appear to you to be the same steps on two different systems yields two different results. And, if this is a classroom setting, you don't want to have to depend on virtualization because the important thing is that the app is simple to access. I'd also guess that there's some other reason for the push to Vista or you'd have stayed with what works (I've worked in situations where, for whatever reasons, decisions are made and you just have to work with what you're dealt!)
    I'd think you're correct in that there's probably not a provision for the latest QuickTime to behave like the older version as large portions of the API has been rewritten over the years.

  • Issues with iTunes 11.1.5 and Windows 8.1

            I recently upgraded my iTunes to 11.1.5 on my Windows 8.1 computer, since the upgrade iTunes has become unusable. Before the upgrade I had an occasional error, device not recognized or a download error, sometimes i had to unplug and then plug back in in my devices in order for iTunes to recognize them. I have an iPhone 4s, IPad 2, and iPod Touch all are affected by the change in iTunes.
             After the upgrade none of the devices when plugged into the computer will be recognized by iTunes, even after multiple attempts I get an error that states there was a device error.  iTunes will also not download any updates from the store, nor will it download any music or movies I have purchased. I have received the following errors so far with the iTunes upgrade.
    0xE800065- could not connect the device, error 8008 – unable to download update, iTunes (or other apple program) has invalid signature and will not be downloaded.
           If I am able to get the device recognized in iTunes it will appear but only a yellow bar will be visible across the bottom of the screen and it will not sync or  allow me to change anything with the device. Action taken so far..
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes TWICE, using the order and instructions provided to me by Apple support, I had to DL the file itself at a neighbor’s house since  it won’t DL here. I have tried to do the name and rename trick and this doesn’t work either, also tracking the device down in my device manager and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers has done nothing. I have now run out the options provided to me here so far… anyone official or otherwise have anyway to get me working again??
    TY

    it works at first then after trying to update a few apps (the third one this time) iTunes again stops working and gives me the 8008 error.
    Okay ... let's try seeing if that one is the root cause of the errors.
    Try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    Does that calm down the 8008s?

  • IPhone Issues with USB Connection and Bluetooth in GM cars

    I recently purchased a 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC and it has a USB connection for an iPod. Prior to the 2.1 updated the USB connection worked flawless as well did my handsfree/bluetooth. I had the Apple Genius Bar check my iPhone for any issues due to a corrupt update but everything turned up fine. When i connect to my car I receive an error message (iPod Did Not Authenticate. Check iPod Version). Also my bluetooth will sync but when you answer the phone using hands free you get no audio from the iPhone or speakers in the car. I used a friends iPod and everything worked fine but when I connect with a new iPod it displays the same error. I have contacted GM but they said talk to Apple.
    If anyone can help please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hey J,
    Well you got me thinking about your question, and I guess I didn't get it the first time. Again, I own the same car - 09 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC, Black. A lot of fun! I plugged my iPhone into the radio USB connection and get the same error. The GM radio does not support the iPhone. It will not authenticate. The GM radios' firmware is looking for an iPod, not an iPhone. That is expected. As far as the iPhone and it's Bluetooth, again the iPhone's Bluetooth hands free works fine, except I cannot answer the iPhone during an incoming call without first unlocking the iPhone then pressing the mute button on the steering wheel. For what it's worth the iPhone will charge through the USB connection. I'm a little confused on what you are trying to connect. Bottom line, an iPod should always work, an iPhone, not at all. Lastly, I have purchased the GM Personal Audio Link (PAL) and hope to use it with my iPod so I can put the iPod in the glove compartment. Although I have heard a lot of negative comments and issues with it for being slow and sluggish. If so, I'll be sending it back and I'll stay with the USB connection. I'll let you know how that works.

  • Connectivity Issues with USB 3 ports on macbook pro

    Hi,  I have a zoom r24 which is no longer working as an audio interface with my new macbook pro.  I have read a lot about issues with USB 2 devices not being compatible with USB 3 ports on the macs. This seems to be midi as well as audio devices.  Can anyone recommend or point me to a list of supported devices for both audio and midi which are guaranteed to work with a late 2013 macbook pro retina display.  I cant afford a thunderbolt device.  Thanks steve

    Just a wild thought here, but have you tried inserting a powered USB 2.0 hub between the MacBook and the interface?

  • Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??

    Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??
    All I was wondering if anyone was having issues with Lightrooms beta and pointing devices… while I’m sure the Wacom Introus4 is dying in Lightroom I can’t verify that my Mouse is as well.
    I’m using the most recent Beta of Lightroom and Wacom Tablet Driver 615-3a… I’m sure the issue dosent reside with another program because the tablet only stops working in Lightroom. Basically I loose all tablet functionality until I reboot whin I attempt to access the Film Strip… I’ve repeated a few times and with each it dies…

    Unfortunately, although you are getting problems with your Wacom and Lr, the solution for the short term is to re-install an older driver for the tablet until Wacom come up with a new update to fix the prolem. This has been a long running problem for users when operating Lr with Wacom tablets.

    my mouse and touchpad for my laptop have always worked without any sort of problem. i recently switched to openbox from gnome and it's been a wonderful experience so far. i tried cleaning out unnecessary gnome stuff and installed KDE to toy with it a little. needless to say shortly afterwards i ditched KDE and switched back to openbox, only to discover my mouse being screwed. i can move the cursor around and such but after a few seconds of running my ability to click and right-click is gone. i tried re-installing gnome completely hoping it might effect it and logged into a gnome session instead but the problem is persisting here as well. if i am using my mouse in a window, i cannot select anything on the panels with it whatsoever without repeatedly right clicking in the window close to the panel and then clicking the panel. and whenever i have the panel selected i can interact with it fine but cannot switch over to any windows. it's making me believe there's something going on with the mouse thinking it's "stuck" on the panel or window so clicking outside of it is rendered useless. i really don't know, i've tried searching online and such for any help on the topic but could not find anything and this is my final resort before going completely mad. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: i've tried toying with settings in gnome in regards to the mouse and stuff, basically just doing anything i possibly can and while using a window from the control panel for the mouse and clicking within it i started opening a ton of control panel items (appearance, etc.) leading me to believe it's definitely an issue of the mouse being stuck in a window or something.

    Your mouse is handled by xorg, so you need to make sure it's configured correctly. "mouse issues with GTK" simply doesn't make any sense.
    My guess is that somewhere in the middle of changing WM/DE, you also did a system upgrade (a good thing) without reading Arch news (a bad thing), so you now have xorg 1.8 and you need to change your config accordingly.

  • Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows

    Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows (at work):
    Lenovo T60 with intel core duo T7200 @2.00Ghz plus additional monitor (Lenovo ThinkVision) in extended desktop mode running Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2
    1. Taskbar is configured to autohide: when Safari is the top (active) window, it remains on top. If the taskbar pops up, it does so behind the Safari window, because I cannot see it.
    2. If an open Safari window is dragged to the external (secondary) monitor, then maximized, it disappears to the side. It is not closed. I can still find it via Alt-tab or in the task bar and can, by right-clicking ‘Move’ from the taskbar use the arrow keys to move the window back into place. Clicking to reduce the window, then re-maximizing leads to the window disappearing to the side again.
    3. In general my impression is that this does not function at a ‘beta’ level, but more of an ‘alpha’ level. Still very buggy.

    This is a beta...thats why they give you the option to report probs via the bug icon. Since you are having these probs try and report them, I am not sure if apple has the time to scan these forums to try and find the big probs that people are having. So unless you report bugs, (and wait until the final realease) then they might never get noticed and or fixed.
