Windows8 "Help + Tips" app

I don't see a BOARD for Laptops but I have an HP Pavilion Touchsmart LAPTOP?
Under Getting Started with Windows 8 READ topics there is mention of an app called "Help + Tips". I don't see it on the Start Screen including ALL APPS? Was it replaced by HP Support or something?
Was it dropped by MS? I have Windows 8, not 8.1
Thanks in advance ...

Hi BB,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
I'm not sure about the other, but there is indeed an App for Getting Started with Windows 8 that you can download from the Windows Store:
Getting Started with Windows 8
After you read though the information provided by the App, you might take a look at the following .pdf guide:
Windows 8 Features – A Quick Tour

The Main forum discussion group for "laptops" is:

It is a nice way to say “Thank You” for the help.
Although I strive to reflect HP's best practices, I do not work for HP. 
Kind Regards,

  • Two helpful tips- apps crashing & daunting backup times

    *Apps crashing on the go after your sync?*
    A quick fix for your apps crashing on your phone is to delete them (you can do this by getting into rearrange mode [the jiggling] and tapping "x", say yes to delete). After deleting go to the app store, re-download. It'll ask you if you want to install even though you already did so, of course you do! Fixed.
    *Intimidating wait times for backup, just want to put some tunes on?*
    *(assumes no auto-sync, and option selected in Music- sync only these playlists)*
    Pay attention carefully: After you have added whatever you want to sync to your regular iPhone playlist. Create a separate playlist with just a song or use one of your "on the go playlists" if you don't really use them. Now check or uncheck the aforementioned and you will see "Apply" instead of "Sync" being an option. Click apply and it will only update your songs, no "Backup" required.
    If this post is redundant or misplaced, please advise.

    Try restoring to factory settings/new iPod and then redownloading (not sync from your iTunes library) only the one problem app.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • How do i delete or remove the Tips app and the health app that apple added to my phone on the last update 8.0.2?

    How do i remove the Tips app and the Health app that apple added to my iphone on the last update? Update 8.0.2? I didn't want these added to my phone. I have to remove apps every time there is an update. After the phone is updated I reinstall the apps I removed. After 8.0,2 there was not enough room for me to reinstall my apps because they added the Tips app and the health app. How do I remove them? When you hold your figure on the apps they added, X's pop up on all of the apps i've installed, but not on the ones that come on the iPhone and the ones that they added on this last update. Please help.

    They force you to buy health insurance these days and now apple forces you to keep spyware apps on your phone.
    Oh, knock off the fearmongering. None of those apps are spyware. Health stores all of its data on the phone. It will only back it up to your computer if you do an encrypted back up. The only data it collects on its own are steps, stairs and distance traveled. Anything else in it is information you've explicity authorized it to collect from anothr app you've installed. You're not required to put anything in Passbook, Podcasts, iBooks or Newstand.

  • DPS Tips app updated for v19

    Apple approved the new version of the DPS Tips app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8
    Instead of simply updating the app, which is usually the easiest approach, I recommend that you remove DPS Tips and then install it from the App Store. Re-installing is especially important if you have an iPad 3. A current limitation prevents the high-resolution rendition folios from being available if the library has ever "noticed" the low-resolution folios, even if you haven't downloaded them. This issue should be fixed in one of the upcoming releases. If you're creating renditions for your folios, remember to publish both renditions before you notify users with a push. To be safe, the best approach is to publish the high-resolution rendition first.
    The DPS Tips has been approved for the Apple App Store and Android Market, though I haven't updated the Android content. Amazon still hasn't approved the app due to an in-app purchase issue. The Viewer Builder enables every viewer for IAPs, but Amazon recently began rejecting free apps like mine unless you set up IAPs. We're waiting to see if Amazon changes its approval policy or if we need to add an option to the Viewer Builder.
    Here are some changes I made to the app:
    * I added renditions by using one set of 1024x768 source files. If you have an iPad 3, the cover images in the library should include "2048x1536." If not, remove and re-install the app.
    * I divided the old overlays folio into two folios: one basic and one advanced. The advanced folio includes a few new articles and an updated article on pullout tabs. The new pop-up video article includes a rocket launch effect that's so cheesy not even my 8-year-old son liked it. Colin even asked me not to credit him for the video. I might have to revisit that example.
    * I added a new article to the Effects folio that includes an HTML5 scratch-off example. It links to a Cookbooks recipe where you can download and repurpose the HTML code.
    Here are some folio size stats. For some reason, the PDF files were relatively much larger than what I had seen in my testing.
    Folio Basics: iPad1 - 33 MB (PNG) / iPad3 - 47 MB (PDF)
    Overlay Basics: iPad1 - 50 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 90 MB (PDF)
    Advanced Overlays: iPad1 - 41 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 85 MB (PDF)
    Effects: iPad1 - 5 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 7 MB (PNG)
    Single Edition: iPad1- 4 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 12 MB (PDF)

  • ShowModalDialog and "Unauthorized Access" for Item Help Tips - APEX 2.2.0

    Hi, all,
    Well, I have a popup that is displayed using ShowModalDialog, and that popup has help tips for some items. When I view it on my computer, regardless of whether or not I'm logged into APEX or not, and regardless of what authentication scheme I use to log into my application, I can see the help tips.
    When another user I have testing tries to view the help tip, she gets "Unauthorized Access." It doesn't matter what she is logged into or how. However, if I send her the link to the page displayed in the ShowModalDialog popup and she opens it in a regular window, she can see the help just fine.
    I did see mentions of this elsewhere in the forums. Is this Bug #5469015 : Authentication Fails On Popup Item Help Pages? If so, is there a workaround?
    Thanks!
    Don

    Thanks for all your help Scott
    I've added the -PORTAL_SSO- .....
    After this I've had a new problem same to this: Re: SSO Authentication Not Working
    "get the error below and it then directs me to http://hostx/htmldb/f? and the "p=" is missing"
    But after a lot of tests I discovered where was the problem: "The apache configuration for the proxy!!"
    This an extract from the installation doc :
    SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
    ProxyPass /htmldb http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb
    ProxyPassReverse /htmldb http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb
    ProxyPass /i http://127.0.0.1:8080/i
    ProxyPassReverse /i http://127.0.0.1:8080/i
    ProxyPass /sys http://127.0.0.1:8080/sys
    ProxyPassReverse /sys http://127.0.0.1:8080/sys
    where you replace 127.0.0.1 with the name OR ip address of your XE installation. 8080 is the default http port of your XE installation. "
    Well, I used the IP ADDRESS and in the @regapp > listener_token the NAME!!! (HTML_DB:servername.domain:80)
    I changed the IP ADDRESS with the NAME, restarted the httpd service and now all works fine.

  • Remove the Tips app

    OK, I got rid of the Podcasts app, but how do I get rid of the Tips app from the main screen? I don't want it; don't need it...it's just useless clutter.

    hold it till I wiggles than drag it onto another app you never use name the folder something like 'Not Used' and drag that to the last page out of you way.

  • Help with App-World PLEASE

    I bought a second-hand Blackberry Curve 8520 today, and called my provider, Virgin asking them if they could help with App-World, they left me on hold for nearly 30 minutes so I hung up. I have got my BBM sorted, but when I try to use the App World it says that it is having trouble connecting to the Blackberry App World Server and that I should verify my network connections. I have no idea what this means and really need help.
    Thank you

    Sorted it now

  • Pop up help Tips

    Hello, I am  a new user of Windows 8.1, i have a problem with the pop up help tips, I don't have a tactil screen I use only mouse. How can I  disable this application. Sorry for my english...

    Hope you meant pop tips for first time users. Usually just follow the tutorial, quickly navigate to the next window and then it will stop once the tutorial is finished.
    If not, try this method.
    Press windows key + R, type gpedit.msc
    On the left side, go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->
    Windows Components -> Edge UI. Open
    Disable help tips. Select Enabled.
    You should not be getting any more tips. Hope this helps.

    Hello milkisoo,
    Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused. 
    As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment.  However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear.  This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
    It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order,  resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed.  Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
    Thank you for posting.

  • My first generation iPad is not connecting to the internet! any helpful tips?

    my first generation iPad is not connecting to the internet! any helpful tips?

    Have you done a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    If that does not help, go to Settings and turn WiFi off.  Make sure you are not in AirPlane Mode and turn WiFi back on and see if it shows the wireless networks that are available.

  • IPhoto Help tips don't help create new Photo Library

    I have 35 photos of folks associated with the magazine I edit. I created a separate album for them in the present Photo Library, but I would like to disconnect them from there and keep them in a totally distinct Editorial Photo Library. The Help tips for iPhoto allow for this action, but in my attempts to make it happen, iPhoto would not launch; it continues to launch only in the original way, with the lone Library and the usual albums with all their photos.
    Not wishing to risk loss of hundreds of photos, I abandoned my attempt. All I really want to accomplish is to house the Editorial photos in a completely different place. This collection will expand as the magazine takes on new contributing authors, but I don't want any of these photos intermixed with my personal albums. Part of the reason for this is that I wish to preserve my method of captioning personal photos with numerical prefixes. This is the only sure way I have found to have photos sort strictly chronologically; no alpha method works worth a fig. I would still prefer that the default launch would bring up my personal Photo Library; but it would sure be nice to be able to toggle to the only other photo library that I intend ever to use.

    I'm not sure which tip you're following. When you change the name of the "current" iPhoto library, the next restart cannot open in the renamed library on its own. Your choices are to create a new library, or locate an existing one. If you follow the steps in the iPhoto Help topic "Creating a new photo library", I don't see how you can go wrong.
    To bring up a library other than the current photo library, you would follow the instruction in the iPhoto Help topic "Switching between photo libraries". If you want to keep your several photo libraries all together in the Pictures folder, you just need different names for each of the iPhoto Library folders.
    Export the 35 photos (simply drag them from the iPhoto window) to a temporary folder on the desktop, then restart iPhoto with the new library and import the contents of the temporary folder. You can delete the photos from the initial iPhoto collection any time after you've successfully exported them.

  • DPS Tips app

    I have a question about how something is made.
    In the DPS Tips app > Overlay Basics > Linking with Buttons
    You see a row of numbers (1-5) and when you tap on a number
    the page changes.
    In other DPS apps it appears on photos, you can tap on a little icon
    and info appears, tap it again and it returns to the original state.
    Is this made in InDesign? More important, How?

    Multi State Objects.
    Do some reading about that and come back with any specific questions.

  • DPS Tips app says "This content is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

    The DPS Tips app doesn't seem to work on any of my devices. Any attempt to download a folio produces the message "This content is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    "Temporarily" is OK but this was the same yesterday. Should this be changed to "permanently"?

    Too funny! I think Bob ran out of fulfillments Thanks for letting me know, I'll figure out how to fix it tomorrow.
