Twist - Resolved all driver, WiFi, touch screen, version and battery issues through Windows Refresh

I would like to report that I also had many of the issues mentioned in several other posts and solved them all by doing a Windows Refresh.
In particular, the following issues were resolved:
- Missing driver for WAN miniport device
- Intermittent connectivity on WiFi
- Unresponsive touch screen (charm-swipe was not working anymore)
- Version mismatch of Lenovo Settings
The computer is now absolutely stable and faster than before. Furthermore, first impressions seem to indicate that the battery life has also been significantly increased by the refresh.
What I did:
- Performed Windows 8 Refresh
- Installed all Windows updates (several rounds of updates and restarts)
- Reinstalled all non-Windows 8 applications (Windows Refresh keeps/restores only your data and Windows 8 apps)
- Performed disk cleanup (including system files) and disk optimization
The whole process took me a good half day but was well worth it. Twist runs like a charm now, without any issues.

Windows Refresh generates a detailed list of all desktop apps that were removed during refresh. That list includes links to the manufacturer of each app and makes it quite easy to reinstall them.

Podcast App 2.1.2 on Touch 5G - Lag and battery issues

Since updating to the newest version of Apple's own Podcast app, my iPod touch 5g suffers from extreme lag inside the Podcast app only (around almost 1 second for every touch event to be executed) and the battery life has decreased dramatically. Also, listening to 4 hours of audio Podcasts used up around 80% of the battery. My iPod touch is running iOS 7.1.1 and has plenty of storage space left. I have just around a dozen audio Podcast subscriptions and no video subscriptions at all.
Anyone with a similar experience?

Could you be streaming the podcasts vice playing them after downloading the file to the iPod?

There is no way to downgrade to a different iOS. Apple does not support downgrading. See this link regarding speeding up the iPhone 4. http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/

There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

HT201272 Does anyone know how to get an episode of a tv programme that never downloaded when I bought a subscription. Episode 1 didn't download and I have all other episodes. I looked at the issues through report a problem but I cannot find an answer.

I bought a series pass and unfortunately epsiode 1 didn't download at all. I was watching the downloads and restarting once they stopped as I allow multiple downloads at athe same time

It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).

DRIVE TO TOUCH SCREEN - WINDOWS 8

Hi.
I've installed the windows 8 on my HP TouchSmart 520-1050 and the touch screen stoped your function. I didn't find its drive. What to do?! The HP will create a specific drive to this computer? Waiting for answer.
Thanks!

THIS is HP's position on Windows 8 support and any HP computer not supplied with Windows 8;
Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all PCs.
Your particular experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.
HP is providing upgrade instructions and drivers will be available for most Windows 7 systems sold after 1st October 2011.
If you want to restore the original operating system after upgrading, you must create HP recovery media before you upgrade.
Please note that if you purchased your system prior to October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed Windows 8 upgrade instructions or drivers for them. Upgrading such systems may be difficult or impossible.
and
Important information regarding additional limitations and requirements;
Screen Resolution Requirements
Limitations with DVD playback software
Limitations with Blu-ray playback software
Limitations with TV Tuner software
Secure Boot & other UEFI dependent features
Secure Boot & other UEFI dependent features
Limitations with touch screen capabilities
Windows 7 PCs with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade.
HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points.
Additionally, Windows 8 edge swipes may not be available due to the recessed bezel on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7.
HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Note that content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graphitti will not be available after upgrading.

8500 All in One - touch screen not working

One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond. Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless. With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded.
Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works. Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error? Thanks for any help ...

Excellent. Let me know how round 2 treats you. The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now? I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

All-in-one touch screen not working

I have an HP Pavilion 23 All-in-one desktop that the touch screen has stopped working. My system info shows I have no Pen or Touch installed. All of the answers for fixing this problem tell me to go in and enable Touch - how can I do that when my system says I don't have it. Yes, I have had it for the last 18 months so where did it go? This problem happened once before and I did a system restore (for another problem) and my touch was restored. I did this again and it did not work. I am at wits end trying to solve this. Can anyone help - Please?

An essential Toshiba software/tool which needs to be installed for Win 8 and Windows 8.1 is Toshiba System Driver.
But Win 8 and Win 8.1 provides own drivers to control the 10 finger capacitive touch screen.

S400 Touch - Driver for Touch Screen

I'm on the Driver Download page for the S400 Touch, but I have no idea which driver is for my touch screen. There are display drivers and mouse/touchpad drivers, but neither of them say anything (at least I don't see it) about the HID touch screen. Running Windows 7 64bit.
