Cannot get Satellite A300 to work well

Hi to all,
I've had many, many problems with my brothers laptop for a while now. It's a A300 Satellite (PSAGCA-06P01Q), and at first the laptop was running completely fine.
However it started freezing a lot. Every time we wanted to install a program, (in this occasion AVG 8.0) or get into control panel, computer or documents it would freeze up, seeming because the computer hasn't got enough performance to do the job. The green load bar where it says computer almost at the top of the computer pop up would load right to end, as if to say that it had finish loading, and then it would freeze.
Ctrl+Alt+Dlt won't work, so the only solution was to hold the power button. However, upon reboot exactly the same thing happened. So I decided to do the recovery back to factory settings thingy, and that went all well, until exactly the same thing happened again. So Vista may not be the problem. I have also tried system repair, (continuously pressing F8 at beginning of startup), but that has failed to give any positive results.
However, I had a 2GB Kingston RAM module that came with the laptop, and because of the sluggishness of the computer, I decided to install the RAM. Everything went perfect as the BIOS screen say it had 4096 MB of RAM (having 2GB before), so that went fine. However, trying to startup properly, after the green bar below Windows icon finishes loading, a blue screen pops up saying something (it went to fast to know what it said), then the laptop restarted.
The laptop recommended going to system repair so see if there was any problems with Vista startup but it came back to nothing. Then I decided to do system recovery aging to factory settings, but know I can't do anything because a box comes up saying which OS to fix, but there is no Vista Home edition in the box. It says load drivers, but I can't locate and files.
Any help will be very much appreciated. If you like anymore additional information just replies. XD
Cheers, Hellas_

Test the RAM using Memtest, its a bootable CD or Floppy Disk.
Download the ISO from www.memtest.org and burn the ISO to a blank CD using an Image->Disc project.
Boot from the Memtest CD and it will start automatically. Run it for at least an hour, or overnight if possible.
Also test the HDD for bad sectors.
Run the Advanced Test in DFT. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
Its also a bootable CD or Floppy Disk.
After testing the RAM, update the BIOS for the PSAFCA model. Go to www.isd.toshiba.com.au , select Support->Downloads, select your model in the list and download and run the latest BIOS in Windows.

After MOBO exchange cannot get Satellite A200 to work properly

HI guys,
I have a Satellite A200 here, my friend took it to pc place and they told him it couldnt be fixed and needed a new mother board... well I managed to fix it and also connect it to the internet (Ive fixed a few PCs) anyway I did all the updates then it took forever to shut down.
Now it wont load it just says loading thats all. Or I get a black screen and now it doesnt want to load.. I cant get in to do a restore or do a hard drive test. Do u suggest anything?
I downloaded recovery disks the other night n they dont seem to want to work either. b4 I got it working I somehow got in and did a recovery or factory default software then it worked but I cant remember how I got I there lol.... any info will be helpful..and thank u in advance
Its running windows vista

As far as I know recovery disc cannot be downloaded so I dont understand what have you done exactly.
Anyway if the notebooks hardware is OK you can install OS using original recovery DVD disc or install OS using original Microsoft installation disc.
If you have this original recovery DVD (ask your friend if he/she has one) use it for OS installation.
If you use Microsoft disc all necessary drivers you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
If you have more concrete questions you are welcome.

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.
System:
Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD phenom IIX4 965
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2-2GB sticks)

PSU: Kingwin 1000W laser gold (LZG-1000)
Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

I have checked my Macbook pro ip 192.168.7.3 address as well as Apple TV ip address 192.168.7.2, using both with same apple Itunes username and password, the icon appears on the top of screen and disaapears. I have gone to icon of computers where on click it says enable sharing, which I have done but in no way it can play on my screen which is connected with apple tv through HDMI. I have checked HDMI as it shows all the information of Apple TV. Some how can not figure out what could be the problem.

Can receive internet through same router on TV monitor through Apple TV as well as my computer
I have reset my apple tv and have configured again and agin with apple id as well as cloud with apple id. If some one could suggest where I am missing, it will be great help

to wainstead ( I saw your post at the JTL forum, who knows when the authors will be around)
I tried using the <taglib-uri> and it works for me(I am using Tomcat 4.0).
In fact I can use just http://www.man as long as it matchs what I put in the uri attribute of the taglib directive of my JSP.
But the situation is confusing because according to the Servlet2.3 specification
"taglib-uri element describes a URI relative to the location of the web.xml document,
identifing a Tag Library used in the Web Application." Perhaps someone with more experience
can explain.

I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps.

I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

I cannot get airport extreme to work. Can you help me?

I have a G5 Power PC. I recently purchased a macbook and an Airport Extreme. I cannot get the airport to work. Can somebody help me please??
G5 Power PC and macbook Mac OS X (10.3.9) new OS X on Macbook

I plug the ethernet from the airport to the back of the modem (a Webstar unit) from my cable provider. Then I plug the other cable from the back of the airport into my G5. Then plug in the power cord. I get lots of flashing lights - "thinkin & blinkin", but then I get a message that it cannot locate the server. Even rebooted. I've been waiting for the IT guy to call/email me back me back but no response yet. I'm guessing I may just need a new location, but I'm not wired to think IT-like (I'm a very right brained graphic designer), I I don't want to screw anything up.
Do I need to just go through a new internet setup?

Cannot get iTunes DJ to work

No doubt it is something really obvious that I'm missing, but I cannot get iTunes Dj to work. If I click on iTunes DJ in the left column, right section of the window says "iTunes DJ" and explains that I can make a continuous mix, but there is no list of music. The play button is greyed out.
The help file says "To select a specific playlist (instead of your library) for the live mix, choose an option from the Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window."
but there is no Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Any ideas?

Do you see the grey bar at the bottom of the screen when you select iTunes DJ, the one with the Settings and Refresh button, as seen in the picture on this web page? If not, then the bottom of the window may just be off the screen on your system so you don't see the Source selector. If that does seem to be the problem, try changing the resolution of your Mac's screen (Displays system preference) to the highest resolution. If it already is, try changing it to a lower resolution, then back. That may get the iTunes window to reappear..
If not, open the Script Editor application, paste in the following text (up to and including the line that says "end tell") and click the "Run" button:
tell application "Finder"
set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
set bounds of window 1 to margins
end tell
If the iTunes window is running off the screen, that should restore it.
Hope this helps.

Canon does not support the MP530 on Mavericks, they have not produced drivers and apparently do not intend to,

Cannot get screen sharing to work long distance...

I set up an AIM account for my mother-in-law so that I could remote screen-share her MacBook and help her with learning how to use it and trouble shoot it (it's a Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook hand-me-down from my wife).
I've set up the account, but cannot get remote screen sharing working. Screen sharing works fine over bonjour, but no go over the internet using AIM. I can control my wife's MBA from my iMac and vice-versa, but neither of us can control her MacBook. When we choose "Ask to share users screen...", we get the pop up window stating "Waiting for response from user", along with the spinning gear icon. If she chooses "Share my screen with...", the pop up window appears on our Macs and we're able to choose accept. But then the pop up window switches to "User would like you to share his or her screen" and just sits there. Nothing happens. On her screen, she gets the message "waiting for response from user" and nothing else happens.
After a long wait, my screen will say, "There was a communication error during your chat. Messages didn't receive a response from..." and gives me the option to report the details to Apple.
What am I doing wrong?
Her MacBook is running Mavericks, as are our machines.

Hi,
@mac.com and @me.com ID works as AIM Screen Names (you add them like they are and existing name) but only if you are using Messages 7 or 8 plus later versions of iChat 6 in Lion.
You should be able to use the Apple Issued IDs in Mavericks.
If you using an AIM Registered name try using it without the @AIM.com or @AOL.com suffix (User Name only)
As AIM can "read" the Apple Database it will think the Apple IDs exist already but may not tell you that is the reason you can't re-register them.
Can you post the info being sent to Apple here ?
However stop the log after about 10 lines of the Binary Images (I will not need it all).
