Yoga 3 11 - Right-click doesn't always work / how to enable two finger tap?

Hi,
I'm based in Sydney, Australia now. Please can you post the contact details, when I go through the warranty page, it gives me local service centres which aren't much help. Thanks

Right click not working might be a hardware issue, or even a driver problem that you might want to invove support since you're under warranty.   BUT, if you want two finger tap?  I don't know why, but this very useful feature seems to have been removed on most win 8/8.1 machines.  Even those that had the feature enabled in win7 lost it upgrading to 8/8.1. I researched the issue and found that the feature can often be restored via the registry.  I tried to get this feature back on my Yoga 3 14 via the registry with no success, though it worked like a charm on my HP Slim Quad.  The only option I found was using a 6yr old program called 2 finger scroll <which lenovo won't let me post a link for!!>   In settings  tapping tab set 2 fingers to right click.  Disable everythig else.  Particularly avoid the 1+1 finger option as it will drive you mad while typing.  Don't forget to ckick the "starrt with windws" check box too. Maybe with win10, someone will step up and fix this glaring omission?  Many complain about its loss in win8.x and have been for years.   MS, Elan, Synaptics and the laptop mfg's seem to turn a deaf ear.  This feature has worked for years and continues to work on Macs.  It's one of the reasons Mac trackpads are considered vastly superior to most windows machines.

  • Flex 2 14 - Two finger tap for Right-Click not working (Two finger double tap works)

    I bought my Flex 2 14 a couple of weeks back.
    I want to enable Two-finger tap (not click) for right click.. Unfortunately it does not work.
    Weirdly, Two-finger DOUBLE tap works for right click.. 
    How do I get a two-finger tap? 
    I tried the regitry hacks from here (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Yoga-2-Pro-Two-finger-tap-does-not-work/td-p/1406... but no luck yet. 
    Any help please. 

    I have found a solution but I am still annoyed I had to do my own tech work to get a common touch figure enabled. (By the way there's many threads out there on Synpatics drivers and touchpads not working right for many people on different machines.)
    Anyway, indeed the fastest fix is to modify a registry entry for Synaptics. Just open  the regisitry edit software on the Yoga and then go through the folders: HKEY LOCAL / Software / Synaptics / SynTP / Win8
    In "2FingerTapAction" all you need is to change the value from "0" to "2" - and presto two-finger tap is now a right click!
    Much easier than going through a driver install / uninstall routine or any other of the suggestions I've found out there.
    I wish Lenovo had this set up as a default. It's really a great gesture and it's quiet and fast.

  • Windows 8.1 Two Finger Tap Right Click

    So, for anyone who has upgraded to 8.1 and suddenly lost their two finger tap right click functionality, I highly suggest that you use this: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-two-finge​r-tap-for-right-click-in-windows/.  It restores the functionality of the trackpad and does not interfere with the synaptics clickpad.  Just make sure that if your synaptics two finger scroll still works, you turn OFF that feature in the downloaded app.
    Until HP figures out how to make their software compatible with 8.1 (which, if they're listening, SHOULD NOT BE AT ALL DIFFICULT NEARLY TWO WEEKS AFTER LAUNCH), this is an acceptable workaround.  Also, I'm sure many of you have already figured this out, but HP customer service is atrocious and definitely not worth your time.  If you ask them how to solve this, they'll tell you to restore your PC to factory settings and completely reinstall Windows 8.1.
    I hope this helps anyone else who's experiencing this problem, as I only decided to post it after spending several hours fruitlessly searching for a solution.

    On updating from windows 8 to windows 8.1, my Synaptics touch-pad lost the two finger right-click gesture.
    Even after frustatingly trying to install-uninstall new driver software, problem didn't solve.
    Finally I find the solution in registry entry:-
    Go to Start > Run and type Regedit in Windows 7, or in Windows 8 type Regedit at the start screen.
    Once open navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Synaptics > SynTP > TouchpadPS2
    There, right click and select New, DWORD Value. Name the value '2FingerTapAction'. Once created, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
    If '2FingerTapAction' is already there, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
    On certain systems the registry folder where the "2FingerTapAction" key is located may be named differently. e.g. On Envy x2 it is called "TouchPadRMIHID2c".
    Then log off and log on, and it should all work. Easy.
    I hope the problem is resolved.

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • File, edit, etc options no longer at the top of the screen since upgrade. My right-click doesn't work so I need the File, Edit options. How can I bring them back?

    I only have Firefox tabs now and have not memorized all the Command keys to use when right clicking doesn't work. How can I access "File", "edit", etc....they used to be at the top of the screen before upgrade. I need to be able to copy/paste easily. Thank you.

    The menu toolbar is hidden at default in Vista. You can use F11 to show it temporarily. Please also read this article:

  • Right Click doesn't work with Magic Trackpad

    The Magic trackpad is great. Finally I have something like the old trackballs I had to abandon to be able to scroll etc.
    However I can't get the right click to work even though I have the secondary click checked in the trackpad preferences.
    Any ideas how to get it to work?
    Also, a real bummer is I had selected tap to click and went on a trip. My old MBP (pre unibody) with a trackpad and a button below it, doesn't have a "tap to click" option in the preference pane once the Magic Trackpad is no longer connected, so I couldn't disable it until I got home. Bad!

    Bump!
    I have basically the same problem with my magic trackpad. I bought it to get the new features, but with no secondary click it's pretty much useless.
    I have the options set for secondary tap. Which I assume is just like the regular trackpad. Two fingers and click - Context menu. But I just get a regular primary click. I hate to think that i wasted $70. Can anyone help with this? Please.
    Just a side note: My tap-to-click and secondary bottom right click also don't work. Do I have a malfunctioning trackpad?

  • Right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons. On other elements, there's no"Inspect Element" option

    After installing FF 6.0, right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons, i.e. nothing happens on right-clicking.
    The context-menu is available on other elements, but there's no"Inspect Element" option in the context-menu

    Regarding the two-button click: just go to the "Sytem Preferences --> Mouse" pop-op and under "One Finger", check the "Secondary Click" box.  Problem solved.  I don't know how I missed this the first 3 times I went to there.    Oh well.
    And as for why I had to change the Trackpad settings to get the Magic Mouse zoom feature to work (see original question): I'm still stumped.   Your guess is as good as mine.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why won't Firefox always minimize/resize? Using F11 is a patchy solution that doesn't always work

    Firefox won't always minimize or resize. The upper right hand corner just pulsates. Looking through forums, I found that using f11 can help, but it doesn't always work. Often I have to reboot.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == A year ago, maybe

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Two finger tap right click not working

    Is anyone having a problem with two-finger tap to right click?  Two-finger tap to right click was working fine for a while, but it suddenly stopped on my Yoga 13.
    I reinstalled the touchpad drivers, and it worked for a few days, then it stopped again.  Two-finger click still works fine.  So does one-finger tap to left click.
    Strange....
    Solved!

  • IPhone 3GS Sleep/wake button doesn't always work

    Recently i upgraded my iphone 3gs to iOS 5.0.1,
    Since then, my sleep/wake button doesn't always work.
    It's pretty annoying, and i hope there is a solution to this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    One possibility is that your phone is more occupied with "managing" iOS 5.0.1 since it has more features etc. This could especially be the case if you are using a lot of apps.
    Another option is that the button is simply worn out... I used to have that issue with the home button of my old iphone 3g. However, if the problem started occuring right after you upgraded your iOS, it probably is a software issue...

  • The right click function has stopped working on by trackpad

    The right click function has stoped working?  any idea how to remediate?

    It could be as simple as not having the two-finger secondary click function enabled in the Trackpad seetings in System Preferences.
    Does Control-Click work? (holding the CONTROL key, while clicking)

    "Is it intended to cope with NetConnection.Connect.IdleTimeOut of FMS disconnecting clients after some time of inactivity?"
    The answer is no. Stream reconnect is all about trying to reconnect in the event of a dropped network connection. For the IdleTimeOut scenario, listen for the MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR event on the MediaPlayer and check for an error of MediaErrorCodes.NETCONNECTION_TIMEOUT. You can handle that however you wish in your player.
