Why has HP decided to remove the capslock/numlock/scroll-lock LED indicators.

On several new Touchsmart(Envy 23 TS)/Omni27 models, the bundled keyboard does not have a LED indicator for capslock/numlock/scroll-lock.
I understand that the HP My display solves this issue by providing briefly appearing popups on screen, however at the Login screen these do not appear for W8.
My only question is this:
Is there a reasoning behind this decision to exclude these indicators?
Thanks for the provided feedback in advance.

Hello Cranium :
             I do not understand all these pitures show it being displayed  by the clock with lanuage box. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460546&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la... Go down the page and you will see it. There must be a program to activate it to appear. Like windows 7 has to display icons by the clock. frrw

  • Why has Apple decided the 3G won't have mult-tasking with the new OS 4.0

    Just would like a answer if apple would re-consider enabling multi-tasking on the iphone 3G when they release OS 4.0, maybe in a limited form.
    My experience is the iphone 3G will often leave applications running in the background on OS 3.x and I have to use "freememory" third party app to clean it up when the iphone becomes too slow.
    This suggests to me there nothing technical why the 3G can't have multi-tasking as in away it already does do this when the applications aren't closed.
    Maybe if they limit the multi tasking to 3 applications on 3G, rather then none out all, this would make me happier.

    The developer response as to why FreeMemory no longer available:-
    "Apple has demanded that we remove the feature to Free Memory from all our apps. We have decided to remove our existing Free Memory 1.5 and MemoryInfo 1.1 apps from sale. We have instead submitted Free Memory Lite and MemoryInfo Lite without the Free Memory feature."
    So I suppose I was lucky to find the tool before Apple banned it.
    It is interesting as most iphone's have 8 or 16GB of Storage RAM, but only 128MB 3G, 256 3GS of runtime RAM, and because the phones doesn't have the ability to use virtual RAM, memory is limited on iphone, this would of been a nice feature to add to OS 4.0.
    My opinion is Apple decided to limit functionality so people are forced to upgrade to the latest iphone, a little cynical I suppose, but I feel is true.
    The release of the OS 4.0 and not providing multi-tasking for the 3G is probably another example as it doesn't really appear to be "technically not feasible".
    I feel the developers need a bill of rights, as Apple decisions to "ban" apps is too arbitrary and unfair.
    Sorry for my comments about Apple policy of banning apps or limiting functionality it just my opinion, although I think it is shared by many.
    To some find my comments harsh but it is in Apple interest to make all iphones the best phones in the world

    You are not talking to Apple, we are just users like you.  Only Apple knows that answer.

  • Why has Lightroom dropped out of the CC app?

    Why has Lightroom dropped out of the list of installed applications entirely? And this on two independent systems, even.
    It was originally installed through CC and it is still working - but in the CC app it's now listed under "Install new apps".
    Here's a screenshot from a couple of weeks ago:
    And here's how it looks now:
    And why isn't Photoshop showing any updates, with ACR 8.4 released???

  • The update of web page iCloud is great, but why don't u just remove the "Notes" label from the "Mail" app?

    The update of web page iCloud is great, but why don't u just remove the "Notes" label from the "Mail" app?
    In additional, I also would like to see a "iOS liked" way to edit my "United contact" on the web page iCloud, just like on my iphone. That would be really great and more greater!
    Anyway, thanks for your work!

    It's difficult to tell exactly what you mean, or where you are looking.
    But if you're looking in the App Store on the iPad, in the Updates area, and you still see the icons, they presumably now say "Open" to the right instead of "Update".  They will stay that way as a history of what you have done.  They will disappear after a while - something like 30 days.  That is fine.

    When I turn the computer on the capslock and num lock flash at a rate of 3 seconds apart until I turn the machine off.

    Same problem with my 2 yr old HP Pavilion tx 2000 
    I sent it back to HP for repair and paid around $300. It broke down with the same symptoms after 2 weeks. Sent it back to them again. Again after a month the same issue happened. Luckily all of this happened within 90 day warranty. Sent it to them again.
    Now today after 4 months of last repair my laptop wont turn on, with exactly the same symptoms. Called HP today, and the representative was trying to sell me a new laptop a srepair is no more under warranty.
    I spent $900 on the original computer and another $300 for repairs and what they are advising me now is to buy a new one. Even they dare to ask me to buy their product again as they say I should not judge the company through my bad experience. 

  • Why has my iphone frozen with the apple logo

    why has my iphone 4 frozen with the apple logo

    Hard to tell. What were you doing when it happened? First try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This could take up to 20 seconds. If it does not restart, then check this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • Why is it impossible to remove the iPod touch screen without damaging it so that it cant be re attached?

    My iPod touch heaphone jack broke for what must have been the 12th time for no reason, so I decided I was going to try and permanetly fix it. I saw a post on here saying that if you remove the screen and then make sure some wires are connexted properly, that you can fix it long term instead of having to hold the headphone cable in a strange position. So I remove the screen (which I have done before to replace the touch screen) and it pretty much all falls apart in my hands, the home button, the rubber sealing the outside of the screen and the actual screen all come apart, along with many small pieces of plastic. Now my iPod is no more that a paperweight with a useless LCD screen on it. Even if I did get a new screen, the headphone jack would still be unusuable and there would be no point.

    I guess 4g is more complicated than 2g/3g. In 2g/3g it was way easier cause there are videos on youtube that anyone can do. Was your headjack stuck in the porthole? That is what happened to my sister's iPod. but my dad somehow got it out.

  • Why has snow leopard been removed for download

    I don't get Apple - they release a new OSx that can only be updated from Snow Leopard but in their amazing commercial wisdom remove the ability to buy Snow Leopard. That will increase the uptake of Mountain Lion - NOT! Anyway does anyone know how I can legally upgrade to Snow Leopard now? Thanks Apple always useful - your redundancy policy completely ***.
    N

    Klaus, are you suggesting that users should always upgrade right away?
    What I am suggesting is that users should always try to run the highest version of OS X that their particular Mac can run, not just for the 'extra features' but also for security reasons, i.e. available security updates, which Apple do not supply for outdated versions like Tiger or Leopard.
    Are they also supposed to call Apple directly?
    If they already have Snow Leopard they have no reason to call Apple!
    And what about those users who have Snow Leopard and want to upgrade, but don't have sufficient hardware to run Mountain Lion? Did they wait too long?
    That is a question of money. Not all of us can afford, or can see the necessity, of buying the latest MacBook, iMac or whatever. What our Mac did yesterday it will also do tomorrow! The 'built-in obsolescence' of a Mac used to be about 5 years, but is now only about two years or sometimes less. To replace a computer that often is, IMO, overkill, technically speaking, but it may appeal to rich fashion victims!

  • Has anyone tried to remove the stickers from the wrist rest of their new Yoga?

    I'm afraid to leave any residue, so I was wondering if anyone else has tried?
    Thanks

    That was the first thing I did. Fortunately, they came off easily and didn't leave residue.

  • Why has adobe reader stopped reading the pdf files on external SD memory?

    I have Samsung not 2 with  external sd memory that I stored all my pdf files into it , I haven't had any problem with using Adobe reader for reading all files from  my sd memory but for unknown reason I can't see all pdf files from sd anymore. In order to reach the files ,I have to use the folders view tab in the adobe reader instead of all pdf files view  .
    Thanks a lot for any feedback.

    On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
    On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card.  Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either.  We are still working on fixing the problems.  In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

    When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs.  I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it.  I have had the same problem with each upgrade.  I have to manually uninstall the old version.
    Thanks.

    It's good to have the software you paid for
    Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
    Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
    Thanks

  • I now have two copies of Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Muse. One set is CC and the other is 2014 - Why?.  Can I remove the CC version?

    I have just updated a 2014 version of Muse. It is now Muse2014.1 Release. beneath that is: 2014.1.0.375. CL785695.
    My query is it this: Is this the 13th August update that I have just installed?  What harm would occur if I ununstalled the Muse CC version. I also have CC versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Muse. I assume it is necessary to have both (?) otherwise wouldn't Adobe have removed the obsolete versions when the updates were uploaded?

    DON'T! I removed the older versions and all hell broke loose.  Edit Original type commands stopped working and I had to go in and manually tell windows which program should open an already existing photoshop file, for example...bridge still doesn't seem to recognize PS2014 and I have to open photoshop files from photoshop...Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

  • How can i contact the previous owner of my iphone and get him/her to remove the find my iphone lock?

    I bought a phone from a person on ebay. the phone was working fine until i locked myself out (forgot my passcode), upon restoring the iphone through itunes, it asks for an apple id for the person who activated the iphone. I the seller doesnt know the information and neither do i. Is there any way I can get the owners email that activated it? [email protected]. thats all it says and I would love to contact him and guide him through removing the device from his list.
