Thinkpad Yoga 14 stylus' eraser won't work in Onenote 2013

Hey everyone! I purchased the Thinkpad Yoga 14 around mid-July and love it, but I can't use the pen's erase button in Onenote 2013. It wasn't working in Photoshop for a while, either. It works with every other Office program that supports pen input (word, excel, powerpoint, etc.) I did some research, and read a few comments that said Windows 10 fixes the issue with the erase button. I upgraded to Windows 10 today, and while the erase button works in Photoshop now, it still isn't working in Onenote. I'm at a loss here. I can't figure out how to fix this for the life of me, and nothing else I come across online has been helpful. Does anyone know how to fix this??? I use Onenote to thumbnail drawing concepts and comic pages; so, I do a ton of sketching and am using the eraser every few minutes. Not having access to a quick erase button is really frustrating.

As a (hopefully) final twist to the tale, Win 10 has now installed Conexant specific drivers in place of the Microsoft HD Audio ones. Looking at the event history the new drivers "outrank" the generic ones. The Conexant drivers are signed by Microsoft, not Conexant. Crucially, the microphone remains in place after this latest update.

PDFMaker loads but won't work in Word 2013 - Acrobat XI and DC - Win 8.1 Pro

OK, I opened a question that never got answered and it never was resolved...
Just updated to Acrobat DC - same problem exists...
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro fully up to date..
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 Pro (I have an Office 365 subscription so it's the click-to-run install).
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro DC.
I've rebooted (a full restart, not Win 8's fast boot restart) between each installation.
I've tried this in multiple Office applications, none of them work EXCEPT for Outlook.
For the following I will use Word as my examples...
I've uninstalled all plug-ins and still it won't work.
I've tried running Word as Administrator.... still won't work.
OK... so this is what it looks like... as you can see the toolbar loads, but no icons...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wsbs4kon3z4e965/Word%20Acrobat%20Screenshot.jpg?dl=0
When you click on those buttons... it goes through the motions as if it were creating the PDF... but no file is ever created...
If I right-click on a Word document and select Convert to PDF - it goes through the motions of creating the PDF, asks me where to save... and then a dialog box named "Acrobat PDFMaker" comes up saying " {Exclamation Point Yellow Triangle Icon} An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
If I right-click on a text file... and select Covert to PDF, it immediately pops open a PDF of the text file. Same with any image file.
This was all working perfectly up until out of nowhere it stopped working on January 26, 2015. See my original posting here: Acrobat XI Pro Word 2013 add-in stopped working
I can Print to PDF using the PDF Printer without any problems.
Creating a PDF in Outlook, no problems...
I'm hoping somebody can figure this one out... I'm completely stumped.... and I'm usually very good at troubleshooting stuff.

Click to Run according to Microsoft:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427.aspx
"Click-to-Run is a Microsoft streaming and virtualization technology that reduces the time that is required to install Office and helps you run multiple versions of Office on the same computer. The streaming technology enables you to download and begin to use an Office product before the whole product is installed on your computer. The virtualization technology provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. This isolated environment allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version of Office that is already installed on your computer."

Adjustment layer selective erase won't work

I use adjustment layers all the time in PS elements, and usually if I create an adjustment, I can erase part of the layer with the eraser tool. This has stopped working. Now my erasor tool doesn't affect adjustment layers at all. (Photo layers work just fine)
Does anyone know why this could be?
[I'm using PS Elements v 7.0.3 on a Windows 7 OS]
Thanks

The O key shortcut toggles an overlay colour, which will tell you whether you are successfully painting "mask" or not. If set to Erase, or otherwise zeroed as Hal P Anderson says, nothing will happen regardless of the strength of the selected adjustment. The adjustments themselves can be changed before you start painting, during or after.
If you don't see the individual adjustment sliders, note that the brush panel has an expanded and a collapsed mode, controlled by a small arrow at the right hand end of the "Effect" line.
Besides the mask overlay, the adjustment sliders can also be used to set a deliberately extreme adjustment so you can see what you are doing, and then you can tone that down to taste afterward. Dragging on the "pin" to right and left sides respectively, exaggerates or mutes all of the sliders - moves them proportionally further away from, or toward, their zero points.

Thinkpad yoga 11e does not run working vbscript

I'm using the Thinkpad to run the sample script ListAll.vbs provided by Lenovo. The script works fine on other models but when I try to run it on the Yoga 11e the return is an equal sign only. I looked at the documantation and it list the Yoga as compatiable so what could cause this issue?

I have double-checked my ThinkPad Yoga 11e here, and it is working correctly. My system originally had BIOS 1.15, which worked. Then, to double-check, I updated to the latest BIOS 1.16 which also worked.
Please double-check that you are using the correct scripts here: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/script.zip
"cscript.exe ListAll.vbs"
If you're still having problems, then I suspect something is wrong with your OS image, or some other software you have installed is interfering somehow.

Thinkpad Yoga and UP710E stylus, how do you make them work together?

So my work just got me a Thinkpad Yoga as per my request
I have confirmed that in the Device Manager I do see: "HID-compliant touch screen"
I have also gone out on my own and purchased the UP710E wacom stylus, as suggested at various points on this board and on other sites, as something that should work with the Yoga
I've also purchased Manga Studios as an art program that is supported on this device (it seems to run fine) and with the pen.
I turned on Manga Studios (and MSPaint for good measure), pressed pen to screen and... nothing. Eraser to screen.. nothing. Mouse? Works fine. Stylus that everything and everyone indicated should work? Nope.
So.... what am I missing? Is there a driver I should be looking at? Everything should be up to date.. some in-between program I need to install? Try this when the wind is blowing south by southwest?
Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks.
Here's how the support site describes your MTM:
i5-4300U(2.9GHz), 4GB RAM, 500GB 5400rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Wireless Option, Bluetooth, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 8c Li-Poly, Win8.1 Pro 64
I'll defer to others who might know definitively, but it's my understanding that the 1366x768 LCDs are not Wacom digitizer-equipped, whereas the FHD panels are. That would be one possibility for what you're seeing.
Regards.

Thinkpad yoga 3rd party pen not working

So i bought a thinkpad yoga, and it came today - which I am really happy about. There's a problem though - I bought the computer thinking that I would get a pen with it and an active digitizer. I bought the computer over the phone, and i got a confirmation email saying that the base was a FHD 1080 screen. Since the only two options for the computer are either with partial HD and NO pen or with FHD and a pen, i assumed I was getting a pen or at least a digitizer with the computer.
After all, I paid for it in full.
The pen did not come with the computer, however i was told that if i bought a thinkpad pen separately, it would still work. I have a digitzer pen already, but it doesn't work on this computer.
I tried to download the firmware update for the digitizer, which didn't work. I got a notice saying
Current version: ????
New Version:
and then it said that a connection could not be established. I also tried to download the wacom feel driver, but it said that a compatible tablet was not detected.
Does anyone have any inkling what is going on here? somebody please help!!! I really don't want to have to return the laptop and have to purchase a new one.

When I bought my Yoga, on the Australian Lenovo website it explicitly states it as a Wacom digitizer:
http://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/yoga-series/
Pretty much every Lenovo machine that carried an active digitizer in the past has been Wacom (apart from a couple times I think they used N-Trig, a comptetitor to Wacom).
What lead_org means is B - the Full HD 1080p screen can be had with or without an active digitizer - if does have one, it is guaranteed to be a Wacom.
Techinically speaking, a touchscreen is a digitizer (passive rather than active, since it only works on contact with your finger or a capacitive pen as opposed to hover capabilities etc.). The active digitizer panel is a seperate component from the screen.
With lesser quality, there is the possibility that there are some differences between each Wacom digitizer panel - however, they won't have another manufacturer's active digitizer panel in the mix with the same product.
ATM, there are four different active digitizers that can be had - Wacom, N-Trig, Atmel and Synaptics.
The technology that drives each company's active digitizer is fundamentally different and won't work between different brands of digitizer. (e.g. a Wacom pen won't work with an N-Trig active digitizer panel, and vice-versa.) So you won't find a Yoga that has N-Trig or any other digitizer.
Wacom and N-Trig are the main players - Atmel and Synaptics just aren't on the same level as them yet.
Wacom - common on Lenovo, Fujitsu, Samsung (under the name S-Pen), Toshiba tablet pcs
N-Trig - common on Sony, ASUS Taichi tablet pcs
Atmel - so far on HP products only
Synaptics - Dell Venue 8 and 11 Pro
Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling on - I'll stop it here. You can always do some Google searches and read up about this a bit more. Below is a link that might help.

ThinkPad Yoga 14 - no stylus?

After the media event yesterday, I tried to determine if the new ThinkPad Yoga 14 will be available with a stylus and digitizer. It looks like it won't. So I won't be buying one.
Can anybody confirm or refute this?

Seems that's the case. Check out the User Guide:

Spare Stylus to Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga

Hi Guys
I am using my new Thinkpad Yoga and I am happy so far.
Unfortunately I lost my pen/stylus a few days ago and of course, the tablet/ultrabook is useless or just a normal notebook without a stylus.
However, I failed to find a spare-stylus which fits in the case. Could you direct me to a webshop or something were I can buy one?
And, as it is related to this topic, do you know any other stylus which work with this tablet? The original one is fine but to work all day long with the normal stylus it is a bit to small / thin.
Best regards
Schneeele

Other Wacom based tablet PC styluses should work but you might have to recalibrate the digitizer though.
You can check out the Wacom styluses that Fujitsu , Lenovo , and Samsung offer. Those all should work.

Thinkpad Yoga 13 keyboard and mousepad don't work

Hello people!
Last time I went to US, I've bought this machine from Amazon: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Signature Edition - 12.5" 2-in-1 Touchscreen Notebook PC - Intel i5 Haswell / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / WiFi / Webcam / Windows 8.1 - Black
I love it! At least until two weeks ago... after a windows/lenovo update things starts to be really hard.
My keyboard and mousepad simple don't work anymore, totally unresponsive. If I hit "del" to access the bios, the keyboard does work, after that, when windows is loading and fully loaded, I've got only the "tablet" mode.
The only thing that works correctly is the touchscreen, as it only recognize itself as a tablet, not as a ultrabook. The screen also rotates automatacly when windows is fully loaded, so I have to use the tent mode with an external usb keyboard/mouse or type in the screen keyboard...
I leave in Brazil, got in contact with lenovo suport team here, after a lot of procedures, that didn't solve the problem, they told me to get in contact with lenovo US and ask for an original dvd recovery.
Is there anyone with a different approach to solve this problem?

First try SMC and PRAM resets:

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.
Ciao.

Thinkpad Yoga microphone not working

I've just recently recieved my brand new Thinkpad Yoga, and everything seems to be ok except the microphone. Under Recording Devices of Windows 8.1, the meter is showing no activitiy even with the boost and volume turned right up. Apps like Skype etc are showing no audio being received either. I've uninstalled the audio drivers completely and reinstalled which has made no difference. The driver reports that everything is ok too. I ran through the windows audio troubleshooting tool which reports no issues as well though it is clearly not working. Any suggestions of have I received an expensive duff laptop?

Hi! I bought my Thinkpad yoga in December last year and I didn't recognise that my microphon isn't working (because I usually use an external headset) since I tried to call somebody at skype and it says "Problem with your recording device". I think it is the same problem as yours, because the microphone is recognised but I don't get any input. Did you find an solution for this? I don't wanna sent my notebook in because I need it daily for work :/.

Adobe CS5 Eraser tool won't work

My eraser tool won't work on any adjustment layers I add. It will erase on a background copy but not on a curves or black and white layer. It's strange because my brush tools are working and the eraser tool has been working up until now. It's not even showing up on the thumbnail image and my opacity is set to 100 % and I have tried pencil, block and brush tool. The burn and doge tools won't work either.
I have tried resetting my tools under the drop down menu awa resetting tool preferences, preferences and restarting the program whilst holding down ctrl, alt, shift. I am working on a Microsoft Windows 7 (OS). Everything else seems to be working okay.
Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated

If you paint Black on the Layer Mask, it will mask the effect of the adjustment in the Adjustment Layer. Likewise if you paint White on the Layer Mask it will cause the adjustment to take full effect. Grays in between will cause the adjustment to be only partially applied in that area.
If you happen to have Black selected for the background color, the Eraser tool will act like a brush painting black (and thus hiding the adjustment) when you use it on the Layer Mask. That's probably what you did to see the Eraser tool work on an Adjustment Layer in the past.
As stated above, most folks use the brush tool for working on Layer Masks.

I have a G5 with Tiger to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Answers?

I have a G5 to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Any way to do it?

Do you have another Mac? If so, you can startup this one in "Target Disk Mode" (instructions here) and connect it to another Mac to delete the home folders (or the entire drive, if that's what you want).
One piece of advise, though: after deleting the data, and of course emptying the Trash, it wouldn't hurt to also securely erase the "free space" of the drive (instructions here) before disconnecting the old Mac from the new one. This can be helpful, since "deleted" data is often retrievable with ease unles it's written over after the deletion.

ThinkPad Yoga - Digitizer is not working

Hello,
I just received my new shiny TPY (again). The first time I got it, the digitizer wasn't working. After a bit of research I realized that it probably was a hardware issue (No digitizer, pen or wacom device in device-manager). So I send it back.
The mainboard got replaced and today I have my machine back. It was all working fine including the digitizer.
But from one minute to the other it stopped working and I can't find any wacom or digitizer devices in the device-manager.
Now my first thought was, that the Windows updates messed something up, so I've done a rollback but it's still not working.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a hardware issue again?
Thanks for advance.
Robinhuett

Hello. It isn't a Hardware Problem. It seems to be a software problem after Windows 8.1 Update.
I have the same problem :-( When I start the PC it works perfect, until I used it as Tablet. After that the Digitizer Pen didn't work. So I reinstalled all drivers. After that the pen worked.. so I tested it again as Tablet, after that. the Digitizer Pen didn't work. Now I installed all drivers again but the Pen didn't worked.
It is a big problem at Lenovo, because Lenovo has problems with the pen software a long time. It is soooo sad because I love the Thinkpad Yoga but with this Problem the price isn't acceptable. So I am going to send it back and wait for the Surface Pro 3. Because Thinkpad stands for the perfect Business Notebook and now... Lenovo has with the digitizer pen more problems than all others. And this is very sad :-(

[SOLVED] UEFI shell won't work on Thinkpad Edge E520

Hi there,
I have installed the x86_64 UEFI Shell 2.0 on my Thinkpad Edge E520 which is already booting in UEFI mode using refind-efi for some time now. The same shell is running just fine on my desktop system.
But - on the Thinkpad it doesn't run. The shell is installed as /boot/efi/shellx64.efi and when I start the laptop, refind appears and shows me the shell icon (amoung others). But when I choose the shell from refind I get a black screen with this writing:
Starting shellx64.efi
Using load options ' '
ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Device Error)
ASSERT c:\dev\edk2tip\Build\Shell\RELEASE_VS2005\X64\ShellPkg\Application\Shell\Shell\DEBUG\AutoGen.c (431): !EFI_ERROR (Status)_
I don't know if the text is going on after the last underline. If yes I cannot see it because the text is running out of the screen.
The funny thing is - exactly the same setup is working pretty nice on my Asrock ITX board but not on the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520.
Any ideas? Just say, if you need further information.

Okay, found the - somewhat obvious - solution myself. The UEFI Bios on my Thinkpad is an "old" UEFI 2.0. So, Shell 2.0 won't work on this system (as I could have read in the wiki ).
Now, I have installed Shell 1.0 and I can enter the shell from refind .
