X220T Windows 8. Hotkeys, Bluetooth. Disable touchpad

Just installed the windows 8. All is working fine exept:
Hotkeys. I especially need Fn+F8 or other way to disable the touchpad. How to?
This for me is very important, I use only trackpoint and I ALWAYS touch the touchpad moving the pointer all over. Very very very annoying, I need to disable it.
Bluetooth is also not working

Some of the Fn hoty keys actually work like Fn+F4 for sleep and F7 for external monitor. But The one for disabling touch tad doesn't.
However, you can disable the trackpad in BIOS. That's what I did after installing Win8 CP and I actually prefer this over the hotkey method.
By tablet button if you mean the 4 buttons on the screen they will work once you install the driver. Just use the win7 x64 driver. I got all three to work correctly.

Disable touchpad function keys not working Ideapad u410 Windows 8

Hi there
I'm on the verge of returning my new U410 which, despite reviews indicating the contrary, has a very frustrating touchpad that the palm sensitivity adjustor does not fix. In fact I don't think it adjusts the sensitivity one iota.
So I've read that Fn+F6 or Fn+F8 should allow me to disable it while I'm writing, but they do nothing. I'm working in Microsoft Word, if that matters (it shouldn't though, right?). I'm on Win8, computer is brand new and I installed the latest touchpad driver but must say it never launched or I never saw it launch (I'm not sure it should, or if it should just be in the background).
Between that and the worst wireless problems ever, not to mention that the heavier graphics card apparently does nothing to improve video performance, I am tempted to return this. So frustrating. Please help if you know about the touchpad though, being able to disable it would go a long way!
Solved!

hi bwrightd,
Regarding your concern:
1. If you have the same keyboard layout like in this picture (hotkey mode disabled in the BIOS) then you just need to press the key below to enable/disable the touchpad.
Alternatively, you can also use Touchfreeze to automatically disable the Touchpad while typing.
2. For the wireless issue, you may wanna check this thread as other users found it helpful to resolve the issue.
3. For the video performance, try the following:
    a. Set the power settings to high performance (Link to picture)
    b. Configure Nvidia Control Panel's "Power management mode" from Adaptive to Maximum Performance - see this guide
    c. Follow this guide on how to add an app to use with the Nvidia Optimus Technology.
Hope this helps

How do I disable touchpad swipe or edge gestures on Envy x2 13-j002dx ?

I find that the edge gestures on the touchpad get in the way of my productivity, so I would like to disable them. I've been able to disable these on other laptops, using an icon in the tray area. I see no such icon with this device ( Envy x2 13-j002dx )
The closest I've come is I did edit this registry setting, based on instructions I found for touchpads which use the PrecisionTouchPad (including the Surface 3), but it didn't help, even though those registry settings were present:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad]
"ScrollDirection"=dword:00000000
"EnableEdgy"=dword:00000000
"AAPThreshold"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad\Status]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

So I did some looking around and it looks like there may not be independent software for the touchpad on this model. First time I've actually come across this. (Regarding disabling touchpad gestures on a Split series notebook.)
I looked in the user guide and it talks about using gestures but no way to disable or enable them. It looks like they may not be able to be disabled on this model.

Permanently disable touchpad on EliteBook 2560p

Hi,
I own a HP EliteBook 2560p w/ 8gig RAM, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't know the current BIOS version.
On this model I can (de-)activate the touchpad and associated mouse buttons below the touchpad by double tapping a small dot in the upper left corner of the touchpad (http://computershopper.com/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/media/images/hp-elitebook-2560p-touchpad/...)
Stupidly this is just the same spot where I usually rest my left thumb (just below the left-click of the upper mouse buttons).
When I double click the left mouse button, the trackpad (de-)activates.
What I'd like to know is how do I PERMANENTLY disable the touchpad (w/o opening the casing and disconnecting the cable)?
Thank you in advance!
This question was solved.

You definitely should be able to disable to touchpad in the settings. Try following these steps to see if you can find the "Disable TouchPad" option in the Settings.
Control Panel > icon view > Mouse > TouchPad Settings >
(repeat) TouchPad Settings (button) > Click-on Tapping >
CHECK "Double Tap to Enable / Disable TouchPad"
CHECK "Switch TouchPad off for one session"
This should disable your touchpad. Let me know if this does not work.
Thanks,
Sean

Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth

Just got a new Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth. I get to the stage where you have to confirm on both systems the generated code and then it goes in error. Not supported. Any clue ?

Unless you have an iOS app that uses BT for a specific purpose, such as file transfer, BT on the iPad alone, as stated, does not support it.

Wi-fi and bluetooth disabled by administrator after update

I recently did the software update on my Q10 and since then I can't access either wifi or bluetooth. I get the message wifi (or bluetooth) disabled by your administrator. Vodafone haven't been able to help and have suggested having the phone wiped back to factory settings (which I'd rather avoid for obvious reasons) Any help please???

No - it says IT policy requires device password to be set.
Aha, so you do have an IT Policy set on the device and that is normally pushed to the phone by your employer or BES IT admin, and you say you have none of that.
So, where did you get the phone?
Did you say this BT and WiFi was not locked down in the past?

Connect the iPhone to iTunes under Windows 7 via Bluetooth

HT204387 connect iphone 5s to windows laptop via bluetooth

I am trying to connect my iPhone 5s to my Windows Laptop via Bluetooth. The laptop can see the iPHone but cannot connect. What can I do?

Hello Rick,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s! To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network. I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
You can find the full article here:

Itunes won't play any cd i put in the drive (macbook pro). I am running paralells with windows 7 and have disables media player so that didn't help

itunes won't recognize/play/import any cd i put in the drive. I am also running paralells with windows 7 and have disabled media player. any suggestions?

I have the same problem.
On launch itunes works fine.
If I let it play through a full album of songs unatended, when I return it respondes, but will not play music. I can browse my collection, but when i click the play button, press the space bar with a track selected or double cclick a track it will not play. A restart of iTunes solves the problem temporarily.

Disabling touchpad

Hi everyone!
I have Solaris 10 running XSun server on x86 laptop. I'm using an USB mouse, which gets configured simultaneously with laptop's touchpad when using any of the drivers of kdmconfig available for an USB mouse. Sounds nice, but however I'd like to disable touchpad to avoid accidental mouse actions. How could this be done?
Any help is appreciated!

Besides,
I have another mouse-related problem, too. My mouse gets stuck after some JSD use, normally from 15 minutes to half an hour. The problem remains with every driver I've tried, both USB and touchpad. How to cure this?

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

Just installed CS6 and trying to update, Windows 8.1 tried disabling security still not updating. Version 13.0 any suggestions ? Thank you

Just installed CS6 and trying to update, Windows 8.1 tried disabling security still not updating. Version 13.0 any suggestions ? Thank you

Once in awhile, they do have bug fixes for CS6. The only thing I can think of that was an upgrade for CS6 was a newer version of camera raw. For now they are allowing CS6 to have the latest version of camera raw, but when they are done with supporting CS6, I imagine that will be the last of the upgrades. I don't know of any dates, but I heard it wasn't for a long time if at all. So I guess we will all have to wait and see.
As for getting updates, I think you will like the manager. It makes it much easier. Frankly I didn't know the manager worked on the perpetual license. I knew it worked on the subscription. So it is good to know that it works for you as well.

Help syncing zire 31 with windows 7 via bluetooth

I am trying to sync my palm zire 31 to windows 7 via bluetooth. So, far no luck! i want to know if it is even posible with my zire? I recently purchased my zire via ebay. So, I have yet to hotsync! help me Please! And, is this the best way for me to try to hotsync in the first place? I have tried repeatedly to hotsync via usb.....but no luck!
Post relates to: Zire 31

The Zire31 does not have a BlueTooth radio in it... The method you are trying will not work.
There are no USB drivers in Vista64 or Win7 64 bit, so syncing via a cable is out too.
Your option is using IrDA (Beaming). Please read the large "Windows7 and Vista HotSync instructions here" thread for some guidance.

Windows NT Authentication type Disabled

Hi,
Windows NT Authentication type Disabled after Insatall SAP Integration kit
Best Regards,
Reddeppa K

NT auth is not an option on a java app server it is only an available dropdown in client tools and IIS (.net) deployments. This means in 3.x it will never be available for the CMC and only available for infoview deployed on IIS. On top of that it should not be used with any of our supported versions of AD The plugin is deprecated and will be removed from the next version of our product. Use the AD plugin it can connect to anything the NT one can and much more.
