Touchpad gestures not working properly on Z510 with W8.1

I think that the problem is that if I go to settings/ mouse and touchpad, it does not recognise that I have a precision touchpad so I can't change anything. The major thing that is missing is edge swipe and of course pinch etc.
It used to work ok but suddenly did not.
Any suggestions?

You can actually go back to whatever date through restore unless you have done some cleaning up. Another approach is to go to safemode and uninstall the touchpad driver. Then reinstall it.
If the above don't work you can check/repair the system for file corruption by running (without quotation mark) the following: "sfc /scannow & dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth".
If still it can't be solve do a backup of all your personal files. Shutdown the unit. Press the NOVO button and select System Recovery from the menu. Select Restore to Factory condition.

  • Touchpad is not working properly on Satellite L30-X10

    Hi to all of you.
    I've got the following issue: On my notebook the scroll on the touchpad is not working. If somebody can tell me how to fix this problem it would be kindly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this can be a good solution but maybe its worth to try it:
    1. Download the latest touchpad software from here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    2. Remove the old software
    3. Reinstall the downloaded software
    4. Go into your mouse properties and check if everything is configured (especially the scroll function)
    Give some feedback in case of further questions..
    Cheers

  • Stream 11 touchpad gestures not working in Windows 10.

    I upgraded my Stream 11 to Windows 10 and now the gestures on the touchpad don't work. I can click on something and that works but scrolling and swiping does not.  I have updated the drivers. Do the drivers just not support this or is there something I can do to get gestures to work.

    did you try going to control panel -  mouse and touchpad  and changing the settings, (I presume you did) I had a problem with the touchpad gestures also. The synaptics driver that came with windows 10 on my hp pavillion  would not save the settings I wanted. In my case I wanted rid of gestures.  But it wouldnt keep my preffered settings after restart. I got the old synaptics driver from  hp support and this works better for me. The only problem is that windows keeps updating the new driver. To solve this you must change device settings to not automaticaly download drivers. Heres what worked for me to stop the new driver from constantly updating: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/how-to-block-automatic-reinstall-of-a-driver-or/bff07224-4ce2-4b42-ab29-68c3a305d730?auth=1  

  • Gestures not working properly

    Has anyone had this issue with Lion?
    Sometimes when awakening my MacBook Pro from sleep the three finger swipe between full screan apps does not work. The same for tiling the windows. This has not affected the two finger scroll, but has affected the two finger viewing of the notification center.
    Like I said this only happens after waking from sleep and usually goes away after a few hours. It is however very very annoying!

  • G505s Touchpad buttons not working properly while gaming?

    This is the second time i am posting this due to no replies:
    I recently bought a Lenovo G505s about a month ago. Everything is fine with it until i downloaded Steam and downloaded some games. 3 of the games i downloaded are shooters and therefore require the left mouse button. But when i click it to shoot, it doesn't respond sometimes and is very laggy. This is not the fault of the game as i tried it in different ones but the problem is still there. i tried to switch round the buttons (so that the right button is to shoot and the left to aim) and it works fine. I would prefer to have it the usual way around so does anyone have a way to fix this? did this happen to you?
    If it is needed here are some specs for the pc:
    AMD A8 
    6gb ram
    WIndows 8.1
    also the buttons and trackpad work completely fine with everything else except games including Minecraft. it seems that when i am moving with WASD the button doesn't work but the right click button does.
    Can someone please give me a reply?
    Solved!

    hi AdreesInator,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    There is a feature on Touchpad software and driver to lessen the touchpad Sensitivity when using the keyboard to prevent touchpad movement when typing,
        I believe this is the cause.
    First try to open Control Panel and look for Hardware and sound then Mouse
      Then you will find a TAB at the top right for your touchpad.
    Click that and select Settings or properties, This is how it looks.
    Click the settings and once inside look for Palm check Option, This is the feature that changes the sensitivity and response accuracy of the touchpad
    If you can't find this Palm check inside the touchpad settings, you might need to uninstall the touchpad driver and just use the WIndows Generic driver as the Driver does not support changing it.
    If this is the case
    Open Control Panel and look under Mice and other pointing device and uninstall your Synaptics or ELAN then go Open COntrol Panel / Add remove Programs / Uninstall a program and uninstall Synaptics or Egis tech ELAN.
    Then try your Games with the touchpad and it should work fine
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!

  • IMessage not working properly? Same with iTunes

    I just came home today, and my iPad, (version 6.0.1) was working all day, except now. My iMessage is not signing in and my iTunes isn't connecting for some reason. I've reset my network settings and everything, but it just won't work. Any ideas?

    Appears you are not connected to the wifi internet.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • A2DP not working properly in Leopard (with latest updates)

    So, I have a brand new Mac (unibody Macbook) with the latest Leopard updates and a brand new pair of headphones just released by Sony, DR-BT101. I pair the headphones with my Mac without any difficulties, it shows up as a headset and also as headphones (A2DP). It works fine to use them with the headset profile, just that the sound is bad because it's not the A2DP profile, and when I try to switch over to A2DP the sound stops, sometimes with a message "Bluetooth audio failed". The headphones (as A2DP) works fine with all other bluetooth equipment I have (mobile phones etc).
    Even more strange, it's possible to get the A2DP working with a trick a posted in this thread,
    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t34405.html
    In short: System preferences/Bluetooth, choose "Update device services" and then quickly click the "Use headphones" => et voila, it works! But whenever you try to click "use the headphones" without doing this trick it doesn't work.. total silence.
    So what's going on here Apple!? I thought that Leopard was supposed to support A2DP, anyone else has experienced this or have a more permanent solution?

    A new discovery in this matter.. It seems it might not be a Leopard problem this thing, but a problem with the hardware/drivers for the bluetooth chipset in the unibody Macs. I just tried connecting the headphones to a Mac Mini 1.83 GHz, the old version with GMA950 graphics and there it works fine, so it seems to only be a problem with the Nvidia chipset-macs.

  • The touchpad does not work properly

    I just bought this used Excite tablet only to find out that the touchpad is malfunctioning.  Sometimes the pad responds to the touch, other times it is just dead.  WHen I try to type my wifi password in, it takes the first two characters then randomly assigns one or more letters/symbols to my input, sometimes moving completely out of the wifi screen, sometimes switching to wifi option, shutting it off.  Consistantly...It is almost like there is a short circuit of some kind.  Would this be a digitizer issue?  Any help greatly appreciated.  

    Have you tried performing a factory reset yet? Especially since you just bought it, I'd recommend trying that first.

  • After pacman -Suy my touchpad is not working properly

    First off, let me say that I do run xorg without an xorg.conf. I updated today, and now scrolling is gone. Tapping is gone. Tapping seems to make the mouse jump around the screen. I'm afraid this is a feature and not a problem? Any one has some input?
    Edit: Middleclicking(two finger tap) is also gone omg.

    A lot of people had this problem after the update of Xorg to 1.8. This was becaude the old hal fdi policy files were made obsolete. You should now add that type of information in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ instead.

    Hi @Mandeep2000 ,
    Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you!
    I grasp that your touchpad is not functioning correctly as you are unable to use the zoom.  You have the latest driver installed.
    Have you ran  The HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates and resolving issues?
    Have you tried Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 8) to help overcome this difficulty.
    Here is a link to Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8) that may also be of benefit.
    Have you tried deleting the driver and reinstalling it?

  • Touchpad not working properly after changing LCD and invertor

    Product - HP Pavilion DV4 1318TU
    I was having display problems, went through repairer. He changed the LCD, invertor and fixed some issues of motherboard(related display output). After fixing these issues i am facing touchpad issues. Touch is not working properly, and when I use USB mouse its working but after 1-2hr mouse is also not working properly. I connected to external monitor then touchpad is working fine without any issues. Kindly help me and tell me the root cause.
    Thanks

    Hey @ashfaque91 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the touchpad and mouse are not working on your notebook after having your display serviced.
    It seems quite odd that they would work fine on an external monitor, and to be totally blunt this is something I cant even attempt to explain. 
    Was this service provided by an HP service provider or was it done by an independent provider? 
    Try using the notebook in safe mode to see if there is an issue with the display driver causing some kind of wonky issue. Without knowing which version of Windows you are running I cannot tell you exactly how to boot safe mode on your notebook, but you can find this information easily by searching "Safe Mode Windows #" in Google.
    Other than this I would suggest getting back in touch with the service provider if the issue started immediately after they provided service to the notebook.
    Alternately, you can call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

  • TS1702 When I update to IOS6 on my 4S Facebook does not work properly, the news feed never updates it only says no new storeys and shows a picture of an antenna. When I reset my phone and go back to IOS5 Facebook works fine. What's up with IOS6 ????

    When I update my iPhone 4S to iOS six Facebook does not work properly the newsfeed doesn't load properly and I can never see what's going on all I see is a picture of an antenna and a little thing underneath it says no new stories when I reset my phone back to iOS 5 then it works just fine and I don't have any issues so there must be something wrong with iOS six that isn't letting Facebook load properly

    No I did not use any unauthorized methods for anything, I simply reset my phone back to factory.

  • Remote not working properly with Apple TV...sporadic fuctioning

    Hello,
    I have no idea what caused this to happen, but both my remotes (I have one from my MacBook Pro and one from my AppleTV) seem to not work properly with AppleTV. It sometimes works but it is extremely frustrating as it only registers about 1 out of every 10-20 clicks then continues to remember the previous clicks therefore making it essentially impossible to select the desired menu/item. Basically it just seems like it's out of control!
    I tested whether it was the remote or AppleTV that was causing the problem by running Front Row on my MacBook Pro and both remotes seem to navigate Front Row perfectly fine. They both act the same way with AppleTV, whether they are paired or not. It seems as though something happened with my AppleTV. This problem occurred randomly, with no specific cause I can think of.
    Please let me know if any of you have ever experienced this problem and what your solution was, if any!
    I have tried restoring to factory conditions, resetting settings, ran diagnostics, unplugged and replugged it, and nothing seems to be working!
    Oh, and I just replaced the battery on one and have tried swapping batteries, etc.
    HELP PLEASE!
    Thank you,
    Travis

    The menus have never been as responsive as they used to since the 2.0 update in my opinion - basically AppleTV seems to cache/buffer remote click if it is busy or perhaps waiting for something to stream from itunes, and when resources become available it suddenly executes all command rapidly which makes it behave wildly in menus.
    Usually happens I find after restarting the unit or if streaming drives have gone in to power saving modes and there's a delay while they wake up to feed the AppleTV.
