Media Control Button Problem

I can't turn on my wifi because the Media Control button for that function now starts my Windows Media Player instead. This was not problem until today. The only change made yesterday was to download and install TouchPad drivers. Any suggestions?
Solved!

Try reinstalling TVAP.

Media control button isn't ON - Satellite P305D-S8828

I reformat my laptop and didn't save the drivers (boohoo!).
I can't use the touchpad and tried installing both Alps and Synaptic but neither works.
Another problem is that the Media Control Buttons (located beside the Power Button) are not lit.
I use the Media Buttons yesterday but when I turn the laptop on today, it wasn't lit.
Please help! I don' know what to do anymore...

Hi
You could try to setup the multimedia button using the TOSHIBA Button Support.
The application in +Program Files\Toshiba\TBS\Backlight.exe+ controls the illumination

Re: Satellite A305-S6872 media control buttons driver?

Ok, so I just got this laptop on Sunday.
It has the media control buttons on it, but they won't work.
I've read a few posts about it, saying that I need to download the Control driver..
Well, I spent hours last night looking for it. :\
Anyone have the direct link to it?

Hallo Kitsune
Try to reinstall Value added Package. You can download it from Toshiba support page. If you have US notebook model please visit http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp
Hallo Glead
In users manuals is described that this button is not for 2 functions but just for one. Either for MUTE or for enabling/disabling the LEDs. I have Satellite A300 too and this button is for disabling LEDs only.
Have a look into this symbol and you will see it is not speaker but symbol for light.
Compare it with symbol on ESC button and you will see it is not the same.

Changing media control button sounds

Good morning! I just picked up a P505-S8980, and it is fantastic. The sound made when a media control button is pressed, however, is awful, and I would like to change it. I can't find it listed under the general sound controls - anyone know how I can do this?
Much thanks!

The sound for the media pad can be turned off in the system bios

Dell Vostro and iTunes [+media control buttons]

Hi everybody!
Well, I have a Dell Vostro 1310 laptop.
It has media control buttons, as you can see in these images:

http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0389iu3.jpg
http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0390ep2.jpg
The fact is: the control buttons work properly IF, and only IF, iTunes is the active window.
If it is not, they simply don't work.
Is there anything I can do to solve it?

Hi espectral,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm fairly sure you'd need dedicated software to interface with the keyboard and iTunes, most often 'media' keys only work by coicidence. Therefore, you'd need software from Dell (or other 3rd party software to link iTunes to the keyboard.)
I don't think Dell specifically support Apple Software, but I know some other brands like Logitech do.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Peter.

Equium A100-147 (PSAABE) Control Buttons problem

Hello, do you have any idea why do the control buttons (play, pause, stop, next track, previous track) are not working? I uninstalled the control buttons driver and installed the last one and the buttons are still not working with windows media player.
Cheers,
Quarkos.

If it works with other programs, then it may be a software issue and you must configure the driver.
Have you tried this driver: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.toshiba-tro.de%2ftools%2fvista%2fbutsu%2fbutsu-vista-6btn0.zip

Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q870 power button unresponsive but laptop powers up using media control button

Well this is perplexing, I could really use some help.
My power button on my Qosmio X505-Q870 is completely unresponsive. I've tried holding it for 30 seconds, but to no avail. I removed the battery & replaced the battery, testing the power button by pressing it for 30 seconds or rapidly pressing it - makes no difference whatsoever. But then, I noticed if I touch the media touch button, the computer powers up! (And opens up Windows Media Player) Very stealthy...
Now when the laptop is already powered up, pressing the media button does not turn it off. It only opens Windows Media Player.
Here is some background info that may or may not be helpful:
1 1/2 years ago:
RAM was upgraded to 8 MB
I replaced the HDD with a SSD, and then installed the HDD into the 2nd bay.
Computer has been running fine since these changes, aside from running hot when gaming.
2 days ago:
I upgraded the SSD to a larger drive.
Then, I disassembled the laptop with the intent to apply some thermal compound and clean the fans to address the temperature issues. I could not complete this task because 2 screws were stripped and I couldn't get the cover off, afterall.
I did not swap any connections, but did notice one seemed a bit loose after carefully lifting up the keyboard so I gently eased it back in to place.
I put the laptop back together, and that is when the power button and media center button issue began. So it must be a result of either opening the case or upgrading the SSD.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this to happen?
And if anyone has a trick to remove stripped screws without taking a drill to my laptop - I'd love to hear your ideas. Thanks!!

Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (version 3.4.3-1) and my laptop has not freezed since then. So, maybe I will wait for a couple of days and hopefully mark this as solved.

Can''t hurt to try the various TVAP versions on the site. (Even those with the same version numbers are different.)

Satellite P300-19P: Media Control buttons need to be pressed many times

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this forum, but I do love my Toshiba products!
I recently got a P300 19P and the touch sensitive media buttons at the top (mute, open media player, play/pause, stop, previous, next) buttons DO work, but only when i tap them something like 20 to 30 times repeatedly. Sometimes they work in just 5 or 6 taps, sometimes, it takes more like 50. What is going on here?
I would have thought it was something to do with windows media player having a lot of songs (only about a thousand to be honest), but that wouldn't explain the mute buttong being irresponsive.
(Windows Vista 32 bit home premium)
The LEDs all work fine though.... :-(

I will do that just now. Although at first, the first button on the far left was for muting the sound.
When the buttons were fully functional when I first bought it, it was a mute button. It has suddenly changed its function now. Is there any way of configuring the function of those buttons?
And I do touch them gently.
I just went into C:\Toshiba\Drivers\ValueAddedPackage and opened a file called ButtonSetting. I found this. (Note, I have not edited the text at all, and will not do so either unless advised otherwise).

Mousepad/touchpad problem control button activates

Hi,
Just bought a pavilion g6 and i have a problem with the touch pad. when moving the cursor around the screen the control button seems to suddenly activate.
for example the "find your cursor when pressing control" function kicks in and a circle highlights the location of the cursor on the screen
or even worse the webpage will zoom in and out as if I held the control button and swiped up or down with the touchpad page scroll option.
I am not using the mouse pad in any weird way. eg just using one (slender) finger. I cant find any reference to this being a known problem but i am checking here before leaving my laptop back.
is there meant to be some in built touchpad function that causes the control button to be able to be activated from the touchpad? If so can i disactivate it?
regards,
d500b

I cannot unlock my screen rotation . I double clicked the home button but no amount of swiping left to right brings up the media control screen, I have a 4s

I cannot unlock my screen rotation. I double clicked on the home button but no amount of swiping left to right brings up a media control screen . Help!!!

Make sure that Control Center is enabled. Settings>Control Center. Then, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access various settings, including Rotation lock.

Why won't double clicking Home button bring up Media Controls on iPhone 4S?

Rotation lock has appeared on my iPhone 4S and double clicking the Home button does not bring up Media Controls to unlock it. What needs to be done?

It didn't appear or become activated by itself.

Media Player with control buttons inc. full screen

Hi
I am trying to add a media player on an html page - insert > media > flash, file.swf.
This looks good when uploaded, but I'd like to have the control buttons show up, (ie. stop, replay, backwards, forwards, full screen)
The video also looks to be 54 minutes long, I suppose it is as the 2 minute video continually repeats. Can this be changed too?
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Qosmio G40: Vista Ultimate - Control buttons don't work properly

Hello friends,
I have a Qosmio G40 for a few months and everything is working well till now.
The problem is related to the front operation panel.
If i am using Windows Media Player, the buttons PLAY/STOP/PAUSE/FORWARD/BACKWARD work well, but if i try to use (in any case) the other buttons like REC or TURN LEDS ON or DOLBY, the button makes the usual sound but nothing happens, doesn't open any program that is supposed to open.
Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening. I've been trying to look for any configuration software of these buttons but can't seem to find any.
My system is Windows Vista Ultimate.
Best Regards,
Ricardo Monteiro

Hi
The Toshiba European driver page provides the AV Controller Manager.
This tool allows you to customize and preset TOSHIBA AV Control button settings.
Maybe you should install this tool and should check it again.
Additionally it would be advisable to reinstall the VAP

Mode, audio/video control buttons on Satellite A20-S103

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to set this controls? (this controls buttons are on front of the notebook.)
I don't have any more original cd which come with this notebook and i don't know how to set them. If i press any of this keys nothing happens. I'm not shore my be this buttons are related only with Toshiba Media Player, if yes where can i find it and download it?
Thanks in advance
Darko

There are not so many drivers that you can miss it. Just download the driver for "Controls" which version is 2.6.2900 and remove the software you installed before so you can be sure that the downloaded one can be properly installed.
I dont understand why it doesnt works. If you have XP and you installed it by using the "setup.exe" then I dont really dont know where the problem is..
