Yoga Ideapad 13 touchscreen takes minutes to come to life since Windows 8.1 upgrade

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 then soon after I've noticed a problem where the touch screen doesn't work. Usually it starts working after the laptop has been active for a minute or two. It then works pretty much as normal but can sometimes stop again.
I've checked the drivers for it and it has the latest drivers according to Windows. I have applied other Lenovo Win 8.1 drivers but have seen nothing specific to the touch screen.
Anyone else experienced issues or have ideas to fix this?
Thanks,
Nigel

I've got my Yoga 3 14 about a month ago and it always gets ghost touches when I wake it up from sleep, which is solved by putting it to sleep again and waking it up again, which is quite annoying, but solves the problem. As it only happens when waking the notebook from sleep and not every time, it seems to be a firmware problem, which craches every once in a while or something like this.
I saw a thread where a guy returned his Yoga to the factory settings and it didn't have any problem for 2 days, when it came back and he had to send it to support, where they changed a lot of stuff, including the screen.
I don't think that it's a hardware problem, with the screen or the mobo or anything like this, because it'd happen always, but, I may be wrong, as I'm not expert.
If someone finds the solution for the ghost touch recognition, please post it here!
At first, I thought it was my dirty screen, but now I clean my screen everytime I turn it on and it keeps happening every once in a while.
It's annoying, as I said, but knowing that it doesn't happen everytime, it doesn't take any shine from the notebook for now,as I'm loving it!

Aperture exporting to email takes minutes not seconds - Is life too short?

I'm writing this while I am exporting 5 images to email on Aperture. I am lucky that I am even able to write this as when I export images it slows down the entire computer and my typing is spluttering while I am doing this. The email has just appeared with the images just now - after about 4 minutes. Ocassionally they take less time but mostly they hang and hang on exporting and as I say slow my imac to a stop. The only adjustments I used in this batch (and most other batches) are exposure, sharpness and dodge and burn.
I am not new to posting my Aperture issues here but just wonder does anyone see an Aperture appearing anytime soon that just " works" or should I just move away from it even though I love it (when it does occasionally work properly) and I am tied in to the system with over 100,000 images in the programme.
I do realise it seems to work for some lucky people whose system seems to be the perfect optimal system. - I would just love it to work for me.

It is not about luck, it is about strong hardware very carefully set up. When we lack the strongest hardware we do our best to develop optimizing workflows. Note that on weaker Macs like your iMac any one thing can bog down Aperture, so carefully implement every one of the suggestions below.
Some generic advice I posted in another thread:
Aperture is a heavy pro graphics app that is very demanding of hardware. Your Mac's CPU, GPU, i/o and RAM are all limiting to Aperture so we need to do what we can to optimize. Some steps:
• Set Previews to only be built manually, and only tell Aperture to build Previews when you are not otherwise editing in Aperture. I suggest setting the size of Previews to be the pixel dimensions of your display.
• Update the OS to the current 10.6.x version and Aperture to the current 3.x version.
• Keep the internal drive underfilled for speed, which sooner or later usually requires using a Referenced-Masters-Library with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before importing into Aperture or any other images app.
• The Aperture Library should be on an internal drive.
• Turn off Share Previews with iLife and iWork.
• Remember that HDs slow as they fill and keep the internal drive underfilled. Approx. 70% full _maximum_ is a good guideline.
• If page outs increase significantly during operation, max out RAM and/or try to run Aperture by itself. On my C2D MBP with its max of 3 GB RAM I always did a restart prior to a heavy Aperture session to clear any memory leaks and make sure no other apps were open. Browsers in particular will often suck RAM Aperture would otherwise be using.
IMO all Aperture users who can should routinely bump RAM to at least 8 GB.
• Some users have observed that it can take a new Aperture installation time (weeks) to stabilize on slow computers. So do not panic; and allow Aperture to continue background work by not fully shutting down the computer.

Yoga 13 users - what is your graphics driver version after the Windows 8.1 upgrade?

I just noticed something interesting - it looks like the Windows 8.1 installation installed a very new version of the graphics driver. Mine is showing as version 10.18.10.3316, dated 10/1/2013 (Oct 1).
Anyone else seeing this?
I should mention that I had previously updated the graphics driver about a month ago using Intel's generic HD 4000 driver. To do that, I just went to the Intel site and ran their driver update tool from the browser - it scans your machine for Intel hardware and displays available updates. This driver tool recognized my HD 4000 and updated the driver. But the Windows 8.1 installation updated to an even newer version.
I'm wondering if my previous update was a factor in why I have this updated graphics driver, or is everyone seeing this?

I guess you're asking 8.1 users, but i must say that intel upgrade seemed to help my 8.0... thanks for the heads up.

Firefox takes minutes to load upon starting up and changing web pages

When I open firefox in Windows Vista, it takes minutes(sometimes up to ten) to start up.Once firefox has loaded and I go to visit another web page, it takes minutes to load that web page. I downloaded Firefox 3.6.7 when it first came out, and it just recently started doing this. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, but this did not work. It is not a problem with my internet connection or operating system, because internet explorer and safari only takes seconds to load up and load web pages. I have run various scans to see if it was a virus or a bug, but nothing came up. How do I fix this, because using Internet Explorer is really getting on my nerves?

It takes minutes to delete each message

I can only with great difficulty - very slow - read each message. If I want to delete it afterwards it may take minutes to be moved to the trash folder. This is happening since a few days ago I opened an attachment which was not from a friend but from Argentina.

Why are you opening attachments from strangers? You probably got some kind of malware from doing that.

Dialog with a lot of XML content takes minutes to open in IE7.

Good day to all.
This is my first week with JDeveloper ADF, so, please, be forgiving. I have a page, which has this code
<af:commandButton text="Show XML" id="cl2"
action="dialog:showxml" useWindow="true"
windowHeight="200" windowWidth="500"
partialSubmit="true">
When clicked, this one is invoked:
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:include page="xml_original.xml"/>
</f:verbatim>
The xml file is 500KB. The dialog pops up very fast in Firefox, but in IE7 it takes minutes to open. When opening it in the page, without the dialog, the performance is fast.
Please help.
Thank you.
Edited by: user608849 on Sep 10, 2009 10:21 AM

Does it open fast when you load the xml file manually in IE (without using it from the ADF / dialog)?
something like http://<host>:<port>/..../xml_original.xml ?

I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up. Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

Try this basic troubleshooting technique: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot
4 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

After downloading the new 6.0, I cannot seem to sync with my Google calendar. It will give me a schedule for a few weeks but if I ask for what's going on next month, it will take forever to come up and then say "no events scheduled." What's up?

After downloading 6.0 on my ihpone 4 I am having trouble syncing events on my google calendar. If I pick a day next month it will take forever to come up and then say "no event scheduled." Can I just go back to the old operating system? I'm not using any of the new 6.features anyway.

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.

Firefox is open, click link in Thunderbird & it takes minutes to open in Firefox. Close Firefox, click link in Thunderbird & the link open fast in Thunderbird.

Firefox and Thunderbird are open. Click on a link in a Thunderbird email & it takes minutes (upwards of 5) to open in Firefox.
Close Firefox, leave Thunderbird open. Click on a link in a Thunderbird email and Firefox starts and the link opens without hesitation.

Problems with illustrator CS3. loading drawings, swatches everything takes minutes

Since a couple of days the problems started at my office. All pc's started to have problems with illustrator and photoshop. But most of all illustrator. On start-up it is quick as it used to be but when i want to load a drawing, swatch or symbol it takes minutes. I don't know if it has to do with an update or something else. I only know that it started a few days ago on all pc's but not on the mac's.
Thanks in advance,
Bas

What exactly is a few days ago? The last Windows Update was on last Tuesday. Except for a .NET fix and various Office patches it did not seem to have anything critical, but it may be possible that it affects your computers. It's a far cry, though. More likely it's a virus scanner or something with your network settings, that causes erratic file opening behavior. Hard to tell without more info. your description is too generic and vague.

Where do I find my OEM Lenovo Yoga IdeaPad 13 Windows 8 activation key?

Hello, a couple of days ago, I received my Lenovo Yoga Ideapad 13 in the mail. I turned it on and soon noticed that Lenovo had really screwed the pooch on how they partitioned the device. The SSD was 128GB but only 60GB was given to the C drive. The rest was either on the D drive or in some hidden partition.
I almost immediately proceeded to do a clean install of Windows 8.
I procured an ISO of Windows 8 and ran through the install process. For this post, I'm going ot ignore some of the issues I ran into in this process (wifi not working by default) and cut right to my current problem: I cannot legally activate Windows 8 unless I have a valid activation key. Where is this key found?
The "About Windows 8" post on this very board says that it should be found somewhere on my laptop, but I couldn't find it. I even played with the idea of opening up the ultrabook to see if it was on the inside. I decided to hold off on this until I can get a professional tear-down guide from iFixIt or something.
In the meantime, where do I find my key?

It is either on a sticker somewhere on the laptop Usually on the bottom side of the laptop. Or it is attached to a card in the documents that came with laptop. My Toshiba laptop shipped with its Windows 7 code in both places. There was a sticker attached to the bottom of the laptop and there was another Genuine Windows Card that was mixed in with all the manuals that also contained the number. I would look there as well.
