Yoga 3 Pro Brigtness Keeps Resetting

I've been having this problem with my Yoga 3 Pro whereby my screen brightness will reset to a very low value every few minutes, no matter how often I try to change it. Whether or not i change it in the charms menu, in the Power Options menu on the control panel or otherwise, it always resets to an annoyingly low brightness level within minutes and I have no idea why. I've searched online and none of the solutuions I found worked.

hi
Can you check and make sure that this is disabled.
Intel Display Power Saving Technology or Intel DPST

Mac book pro settings keep resetting

Hi, I am in need of anyone that can help me with my situation.
About two days ago, when I booted up my Macbook pro, all the settings would have been resetted (dock is full of apps that I removed, exposes resetted etc).
Whenever I would set up all the settings to how I had it, it would still keep resetting every single time I turned the computer on and off.
Just yesterday, my Macbook also started becoming incredibly slow. The first time I boot it up, the screen would always freeze but I could still move my cursor with the spinning wheel. It requires me to manually press the power button to turn it on and off, sometimes twice.
Please can anyone help me?

Is your data backed up? If not, you may need to do a data recovery.
If your machine is under 4 years old, resetting the PRAM can help.
If your machine is older than four years, the PRAM battery may need replacing.
If your data is backed up, and resetting the PRAM hasn't helped, getting Alsoft Disk Warrior may work, if "Repair Disk" won't work by booting either the disc that came with the computer and running Disk Utility from the Utilities menu of the installer, or Disk Utility from the command-R boot sequence available on Macs with 10.7 or later installed.

How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level. So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

Yoga Pro 2 - Display not recognized in windows (Driver or Hardware issue?)

Out of warranty by a month!
Yoga Pro 2 - 256gb, installed new wireless card a month ago. Windows 8.1
The touchscreen still works while the screen is black.
System restarted after sleep mode I think.
The Lenovo logo is displayed, seems to load windows, but when windows loads (I don't see it load so this is an assumption) the screen blanks and the black light is on.
I can connect an external monintor which will connect after a return from sleep mode(odd). Which then turns the backlight off.
When on the external monitor the internal display is not even recognized by windows.
When I boot in safe mode, the internal screen works fine with of course limited capability.
I have reloaded display drivers from the support site.
Right now my internal monitor is not recognized by windows and is dark, and I can use an external monitor.
Anyone have any clues as to what my be going on? Hardware, driver etc???
What information can I provide?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a pretty weird issue with conflicting observations.
1) Screen works in Safe Mode but not in regular boot. (So, not hardware issue)
2) Display works on external monitor in regular mode. (So, not drivers issue)
Did you install the wireless card yourself? Did you unplug the display cable while installing the card?
Could you re-open and check that all connections are good?
Is the Wi-Fi card working well?
I would also recommend a complete reset of the laptop to eliminate the possibility that this is a corrupt driver. You can use the NOVO button to reset your laptop. Make sure to make a backup on external drive for your personal files.

Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
Anyone able to help?

This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
Delete these three files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
Restart the computer.

Can't download files on Yoga Pro 2

I've had my Yoga Pro 2 for a couple weeks. It's been downloading fine until today when I was trying to download (using Firefox 31.0) an installer, I got an error that said the "*.msi.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read." This also happened when I tried to download (same browser) an mp3 file I had stored on my Box.com account. I have been adjusting/disabling/uninstalling a lot of stuff. I don't know if I did something that made this happen or if it's something in the browser. I don't think it's the browser, however, because I unsuccessfully tried the same process with IE, also. Any idea what's causing this?

Windows sensor button on monitor stopped working - Yoga Pro 2

I have had my Yoga Pro 2 all of 3 days, and today the sensor button located on the monitor that brings you to the windows start screen has stopped working. When I purchased the laptop, the sensor worked fine - it vibrated when touched and brought me to the start screen. Now, nothing happens. I have installed the 2 updates I was prompted to install, could this be the issue? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Dear Dettraka
Welcome in lenovo community
Have you tried to reset the machine to the factory setting ?
Thanks

System Prefs keep resetting

I have this thing where some System Preferences keep resetting to defaults between restarts: particularly affected are Displays (switching the displays menu item off) and MenuMeters (switching all its menu bar displays off). This would happen on my old G4 Cube and my old PowerBook G4. Over the last month or so I have replaced both with a MacBook Pro and an alu-iMac, hoping the problem would go away, but it hasn't. Both new machines were set up with the migration assistant, so I suppose whatever the bad was on the old ones is still there. Where should I start looking?

Considering that it reoccured, I would consider doing an archive and install. Since the problem was there and migration assistant was used, it'll probable continue. Delete the same preference file again before the reinstall, then immediately boot from the install disk. To bring yourself up to date quickest, use the 10.4.10 combo update.

I have recently noticed that my MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing. I first noticed that the track pad would not work for short periods of time. Is anyone else having a problem?

My MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing up. It seems that it is happening more often as time goes on.
I first noticed that the track pad would freeze then whole computer would completly freeze.
Most annoying.
Is anyone else having a similar problem?

Hey B-bram,
For issues with video resolution not being consistent, I would start with resetting the NVRAM on your MacBook Pro. That will reset the resolution to its default as well as resetting other default settings like sound volume and start up volume. Take a look at the article below for more information about that and how to perform the NVRAM reset.

Illustrator 2014: Scratch disk preference keeps resetting itself

Hello Illustrator community.
I have recently noticed that in my Illustrator CC 2014 18.0.0, the scratch disk preference setting keeps resetting itself. I'm using a MacBook pro with a single SSD, but I have an external Lacie Thunderbolt SSD that I got to use as the scratch disk for Illustrator and Photoshop. The problem is that if I set the scratch preference to use the external as the primary and my startup as the secondary, everything is fine and it let's me know that the change will take effect once it's reopened. Upon reopening Illustrator I double check and it's saved, and everything works fine. But if I happen to open Illustrator without my external attached, when I check the scratch preference, it will revert to using the startup as the main scratch location, which I understand. But the next time illustrator is opened with my external connected, the scratch setting is still defaulted to using the startup disk. At that point I would need to change the preference, close illustrator and then reopen to make sure Illustrator is using the external as scratch.
So for some reason it's not saving my preference for the scratch disk, while all other preferences seem to be saved fine. In Photoshop CC 2014, I can set the scratch preference, which works fine, close Photoshop and reopen without the external attached and then close and reopen with the external reattached, and it will remember my preference for having the external as the primary scratch.
Is this just the way Illustrator is meant to work, or is this possibly a bug? Anyone have experience with this?
I used Illustrator CC 17.x.x before this but didn't notice if it operated the same way, since at that time I didn't have a dedicated scratch disk to use.
Thank you very much, I look forward to your help and replies!

The last thing Adobe AI does upon a quit is to write the existing state of the preferences file to disk. If it is using the local HD as scratch, then that is what is recorded in the preferences.

Yoga Pro 2 on External Monitor...but low resolution

Although my Yoga Pro 2 connects properly to my Viewsonic monitor (thank you, Monoprice, for the micro-HDMI adapter and the HDMI to DVI cable), the best resolution I can get is 1440x900 (the native resolution of the last computer connected) which makes everything look GIGANTIC on the monitor and doesn't show the detail of the 3200X1800 Yoga Pro screen.
Intel drivers are updated, Viewsonic monitor drivers for win8/x64 all set. Viewsonic says it a Lenovo issue...Lenovo so far can't help me. I have tried changing view/zoom in every software program and app, but that's not the solution I want. Even 1900X ???? would be better.

PATIENCE...
First, it is most likely the microHDMI fitting inside the yogapro. It is very deep. When you put a micro HDMI adapter in to connect it to whatever it needs to connect to to ultimately reach your monitor, it must be firmly seated.And it feeels like it is..but probably not.
Monoprice.com offers 2 microHDMI adapters: part 7703 and part 7603. Either one should work...but you may need to take an emery board or nail file to the plastic housing around the actual part that goes into your machine. That's because you need a long reach to the actual socket inside the YP2. From there I use the monoprice HDMI-DVI cable to attach to my monitor (LG, but not important. Only important thing is that the ratio of width/height is 1.7778, or 1920x1080 etc)
Make sure the monitor is turned on....and start JIGGLING. Be 100% sure that the YP2 is sitting on a very hard surface, granite, corian, etc...and that the machine doesn't get moved around at all. Do not put it on a cooling pad, or a place mat or anything squooshy like that. Keep a bunch on small thin things around as you jiggle...because at some point you are going to succeed and you must not jar anything as you put the need supports to maintain that crucial angle VERY CAREFULLY in place. It is tedious...but the result is worth it. And then deciding on your personalization will keep you busy.
As much as I like the YP2 as a computer...I have never used it as a tablet (iPhone/Kindle user) and probably never will because the task of getting the Micro HDMI adapter seated properly is something that is hateful enough that I don't want to move the machine once it is working with the external monitor. Furthermore, the personalization setting are different for me with/without external monitor and not worth the hassle.

Yoga Pro 3 two fingers tap is not working

I got my new Yoga Pro 3 and it is looking and working great except from the two fingers tap which does not. This is a real bummer since I use it all the time on my mac and Asus devices. Any tips? I would really appreciate if you can fix it.

So avneraa, if I help you get two finger tap, you'll keep the Yoga 3 Pro?
Try this, but first back up your registry, and wear a helmet:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Synaptics>SynTP>TouchPadRMIHID2c>2FingerTapAction
and:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Synaptics>SynTP>Win8>2FingerTapAction
Set Value data of both to 2 hexadecimal.
Restart.
Report back.
Worked for me.
Hope this helps!

I keep having trouble with my pro it keep asking me password for my yahoo account

I keep having trouble with my pro it keep asking me password for my yahoo account

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
If you can't remember the answers then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer.

17" mack book pro applications keep crashing?

Any ideas why my macbook pro applications keep crashing and shutting down? Safari, mail, exel, acrobat etc.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
