  • Touch screen and pen/stylus stop working - Helix

    Note taking with my new Helix is unbelievably frustrating! It's Windows 8 Pro -- fully updated (Windows and Lenovo drivers and apps). I am using Microsoft OneNote 2013. The problem is regular locking up or freezing of one or the other of the touch screen or the pen / stylus. Sometimes the pen still works, but fingers on the touch screen have no effect. Other times the the touch screen works, but not the pen. I'm not 100% certain that it's limited just to OneNote, but that's where it's guaranteed to happen. I can "fix" the problem most of the time by putting the Helix into sleep mode and then waking. Other times I have to shut down and restart. During a two hour session this will happen a dozen times at least. This makes it nearly unusable. Rob

    Just got this Helix for a test-drive and I'm already having problems with the stylus/touch.  I can't quite tell why, but after working with computer as a tablet for a while, the touch turns off.  Then, if I pull the stylus out of the pocket 1/2 inch or so, the touch turns back on, then about 30 seconds later it goes off.  Then, if you pop the stylus back into the slot all the way, the touch screen is fine again for several minutes.  Over and over, i'm finding the interplay between touch and stylus to be a bit quirky.  Maybe it's the machine i got or maybe it's a general problem. I have had the exact problem with the touchscreen not working without fiddling with the pen in the socket (put it in, take it out, touch it etc). Do you have the task bar on the left hand side? I've had diffiuclties with the digitizer, can't use the bottom or right of the screen for example.  I'm wondering if still detects that the pen is near it. If I see the problem again I'll be trying the task bar on the right side.  If that doesn't help I have to assume a broken switch in the pen holder / bad digitzer.   Neither of which is good on a 2500 chf machine, especially one with what seems to be a warped tablet or base (still have to measure that).

  • Pen / Touchscreen stopped working

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a HP Touchsmart tm2t CTO-1100 series. Recently, the Touchscreen and Pen just stopped working. In Computer properties under Pen and touch it used to say Pen with 2 touch points. Now, It says Pen input available. I've tried just about everything to my knowledge to fix this issue and have branched out to HP with no results. Any help anyone could provide would be very helpful.

    touchscreen don't need driver
    go to device manager, find Human Interface Device, find HID-compliant touchscreen (maybe under USB input device), try to enable it, click yes and restart PC
    If not solved, try to perfrom system restore (back to condition when this PC working fine)

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

    The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.  The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down.  On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in.  Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works.  I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Touch gestures feature stopped working/disappeared two days ago

    I use Photoshop CC on a Surface Pro, and actively use touch gestures experimental feature as part of my workflow. Two days ago, the feature all of the sudden stopped working. I went into Settings, and it's no longer even listed under experimental settings, only the screen scaling and the printing features, two instead of the three that should be there.
    Is this something that went away with a recent update (I hope not!), or am I dealing with another issue? How do I get it back? This is seriously impairing my workflow.
    Thanks for any help!

    Seili010 - Adobe has mentioned that the Touch features are now part of the base Photoshop CC 2014 so no need to turn them on.
    HOWEVER
    I am running the same setup on my Surface Pro 2 (Win 8.1) and my touch features have stopped working as well. I also have a Surface Pro 1 (Win 8.1) that my backup copy of Photoshop CC 2014 is installed on and the touch features work fine.

  • TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

    The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen.  Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
    as to how to fix.  Thanks in advance

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I have and ipod touch 4g, it stop working out of nothing, tried everything..

    i have and ipod touch 4g, it stop working out of nothing, i tried to restore, i plugged in to another computer and to the outlet wall and nothing, didnt drop it or got wet, someone told me that it happens sometimes with this ipod generation. what can i do? i bought it to years ago.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

    Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
    I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
    Can you help?

    Hi
    It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
    I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
    I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse.

  • Touch Screen Suddenly stopped working

    Good Afternoon, The touch screen on my HP Envy Touchsmart Notebook PC  suddenly stopped working. I do not have the Tablet PC setting option available either now. All of my HID devices show as working properly. I have had Windows 8.1 for some time when this occurred, so it is not due to a recent upgrade. Additionally I am up to date with all of my installs. Please advise as this was one of the primary reasons for purchasing this laptop.Thank you   

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP TouchSmart 17 Notebook with issues of the TouchScreen now working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Touchscreen. The touchscreen shouldn't need recalibration, but if you or another user has recalibrated it, it may affect the performance of the touchscreen.Here's how to check or restore the factory default calibration using a keyboard or mouse:Press the Windows logo key Type Control Panel, then use the arrow keys to highlight Control Panel, and press Enter.
    In Control Panel, use the arrow keys to highlight Hardware and Sound and press Enter.
    Under Tablet PC Settings use the arrow keys to highlight Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input, and press Enter.
    Use the Tab key to select the Reset button, and press Enter.
    If the Reset button is grayed out, your Notebook touch calibration is still at factory settings and nothing further required. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks. 

  • IPod Touch 3G w/ stopped working with car stereo/docking speakers

    After I upgraded to OS 4, my iPod Touch 3g stopped working through the USB port of my car stereo (just says "reading" and never progresses from there). It also stopped working through the docking station (basically a large clock radio) that I bought for my living room -- it will recharge and play music through the speakers but the docking station and its remote can no longer control the music (can't advance to the next song or anything else), so I have to physically change things on the ipod itself.
    I was told by Crutchfield (where I'd purchased the car stereo) that this was a known problem with Apple -- that with OS4, many of the devices that previous worked with iPods no longer worked, and that this would be resolved in a later version of the OS that would provide some backward compatibility. However, I can't find anything at all about this.
    If anyone knows more information about this, or has a link to where I might be able to read more, I'd appreciate the info. I selected and installed both the (almost new!!) car stereo and docking station specifically because they allowed me to connect and control my iPod, and now I've lost that functionality and the $$ I put into those devices (over $300 total)!

    I apologize for posting a bit early.  Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off.  They also recommended a reset of the Touch.  After doing these two things it is now working.  Maybe this will help someone else.

  • IPod Touch Gen 1 Stopped Working

    I have an iPod touch generation 1 and it just stopped working. It was working and I plugged it in to finish charging and when I woke up a few hours later it wouldn't turn on. It still won't turn on and doesn't appear in my iTunes. What do I do?

    The iOS update made the iPod less tolerent of marginal/fake Lightning cables. All you can do is get a certified Lightning cable. I would get a genuine Apple cable.
