Cannot remove McAfee trial from my brand new Satellite C660D
Got a Satellite C660D yesterday and can't find a way to remove the mcafee trial. I have free mcafee from BT and have tried downloading it but it fails to install. Tried mcafee removal tool but that fails, tried changing uac no good. Straight forward removal from control panal uninstall fails as does the use of ccleaner and other tools???
Anyone any ideas?
After changing UAC back, restarting about 8 times and the same amount of attempts at installing the BT Mcafee program it finally worked. I had at one stage even tried removing all references to mcafee with regedit.
Put the trial back on using restore then about 5 tries later it loaded?

The only photos you can delete on the iPhone are in the Camera Roll. If the photos you want to delete are in albums you've synced, you need to unsync them through iTunes.

Brand new Satellite C50-A -02T No Track Pad Response
Hello; Just took a brand new Satellite C50-A -02T (PSCF6C-02T002) out of the box and the trackpad does not work. Windows 8 OS. Hooked up an external mouse and; Updated the trackpad drivers from the Toshiba site, no luck.Updated windows, no luck.Updated to windows 8.1, no luck.Googled the issue and tried the 'pull battery, press power button, replace battery, press f2...' but it just boots back to windows, does not go into the bios...I bought 2 of these on clearance after christmas and have been using one with no issue since then. My parents need a new laptop so I pulled this one out and was going to set it up for them but cannot get the bloody track pad to work. Any help out there? Thanks;
Just to add a couple things: CANNOT get into the BIOS after pulling the battery and holding the power button. It ignores my attempt (have tried 6 times) and can get into the bios any other time I try.When I go into the control panel and click on mouse it tells me 'Unable to connect to the synaptics Pointing Device Driver' I have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice now with no success.It does not show up in the device driver list.About to take the nuclear option and reinstall windows...

Sleeping issue on brand new Satellite Pro U500-1EX
Hi Guys,
I've got a brand new Satellite Pro U500-1EX with Windows 7 64bit.
The laptop is having some issues with its sleep function. I am wondering if others have had the same problem - and if anyone knows anything that can be done.
OK there are two issues;
1. when the laptop enters sleep mode - it will come out of it on its own after some time. it goes to the login screen and wait for about another hour before going back to sleep. This is while plugged into power - and no LAN.
2. When I close the lid to put the laptop to sleep - and while on the battery - after some time it will not power up at all. Plugging in the power will not do anything at all - the power light will not come on at all - suggesting the laptop does not even notice being plugged. I then have to take out the battery and switch the computer on (thereby losing any data I had when I put the computer to sleep!!).
So, have you seen this problem with your satellite pro's? Is it something common and to be ignored - or is there an easy solution to it?
Thanks in advance.
- AudetteI have actually updated the BIOS to the latest - one of the first things done when I got the laptop.
And, yes I do have the pre-installed OS that came with toshiba.
One thing I did notice is, if I have the laptop in standby and switch the laptop on again whilst in battery mode, then it will power up. But if I take out the power and plug in power before powering the laptop on- then it will not power up at all!!! Thereby, I have to take the battery out and put back in to get it to work. wierd huh??!! -
I cannot remove embedded barcode from the image. Due to saving compression.
Hi guys,
I recreate a thread to prevent confusing on my previous one. Please only reply to this thread thanks.
Ok, for a start I will give some general description about the application I made.
I had some problem with the image being compressed while it is saved.
Because saving an image will cause it to compress and had its pixel valued changed, I could not successfully remove the bardcode that is embedded inside a image(although some of the pixel value will be returned to original normally). I had placed my code below and will accept any opinion that will help me solve the removal of barcode problem.
What my application does is actually very simple. It will take the pixel value of the area inside the image that will be embed with the barcode first, then it will take the pixel value of the barcode and use the formula (1-alpha * Image pixel value) + (alpha * barcode pixel value) = new pixel value which will contain the barcode that had been embedded inside. The formula works great but when I saved the image the pixel value will change due to compression. On the removal of barcode my application will read every pixel value from the image embedded with barcode (only the area with barcode embedded), then it will go on to read every pixel value of the barcode used for embedding and then use the formula (Embedded image pixel value - (alpha * Barcode pixel value) - (1 - alpha) = original pixel value. But due to the reason that compression will change some of the pixel inside the saved image to drop in its value, the result from the removal formula will be negative and hence caused my result image to become wierd as it will red colors instead of original color on some of its pixel. I tried saving under PNG format which people said to be lossless compression but the result is still the same.
So I need to ask you guys for opinion or help me find the part where I actually did wrongly and caused the image pixel value to change.
Thanks. Please proceed and read below for the codes that I used. It is messy and I will sort it out later.
When alpha is set as 1 the barcode will appear to be overwrite onto the image. But when alpha is set as 0.1 the barcode will appear to be transparent and almost seems to be not there on the image when embedded.
This is the code I used to retrieve image pixel when embedding:
public static int[] getImagePixelValue(BufferedImage image, int x, int y){
//Create an array to store image RGB value
int[] imageRGB = new int[3];
//Get height and width from input image
int imageWidth = image.getWidth();
int imageHeight = image.getHeight();
//Get raw RGB value from image
int imageValue = image.getRGB(x, y);
//Convert image raw RGB value
int imageRed = ((image.getRGB(x, y) >> 16) & 0xff);
int imageGreen = ((image.getRGB(x, y) >> 8) & 0xff);
int imageBlue = image.getRGB(x, y) & 0xff;
//Input the converted RGB value into the array
imageRGB[0] = imageRed;
imageRGB[1] = imageGreen;
imageRGB[2] = imageBlue;
/*//Print out the pixel value to check
System.out.println("Image red pixel: "+imageRGB[0]);
System.out.println("Image green pixel: "+imageRGB[1]);
System.out.println("Image blue pixel: "+imageRGB[2]);*/
//Return image RGB value
return imageRGB;
}This is the code I used to retrieve barcode pixel for embedding:
public static int[] getWatermarkPixelValue(BufferedImage watermark, int x, int y){
//Create an array to store watermark RGB value
int[] watermarkRGB = new int[3];
//Get height and width from input watermark
int watermarkWidth = watermark.getWidth();
int watermarkHeight = watermark.getHeight();
int watermarkValue = watermark.getRGB(x, y);
//Convert watermark raw RGB value
int watermarkRed = ((watermark.getRGB(x, y) >> 16) & 0xff);
int watermarkGreen = ((watermark.getRGB(x, y) >> 8) & 0xff);
int watermarkBlue = watermark.getRGB(x, y) & 0xff;
//Input the converted RGB value into the array
watermarkRGB[0] = watermarkRed;
watermarkRGB[1] = watermarkGreen;
watermarkRGB[2] = watermarkBlue;
/*//Print out the pixel value to check
System.out.println("Watermark red pixel: "+watermarkRGB[0]);
System.out.println("Watermark green pixel: "+watermarkRGB[1]);
System.out.println("Watermark blue pixel: "+watermarkRGB[2]);*/
//Return watermark RGB value
return watermarkRGB;
}This is the code I used for merging the image pixel and barcode pixel to get the embedded pixel value:
public static int[] getEmbeddedPixelValue(int[] imagePixelValue, int[] watermarkPixelValue, double alpha){
//Create a object to hold embedded pixel value
int[] embeddedRGBValue = new int[3];
//Change image pixel value into double calculating equation
double imgRedValue = (double) imagePixelValue[0];
double imgGreenValue = (double) imagePixelValue[1];
double imgBlueValue = (double) imagePixelValue[2];
//Change watermark pixel value into double calculating equation
double wmRedValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[0];
double wmGreenValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[1];
double wmBlueValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[2];
//Equation for embedding image and watermark together
double embeddedRed = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgRedValue) + (alpha * wmRedValue);
double embeddedGreen = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgGreenValue) + (alpha * wmGreenValue);
double embeddedBlue = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgBlueValue) + (alpha * wmBlueValue);
//Changing embedded value from double to int
int embeddedRedValue = (int) embeddedRed;
int embeddedGreenValue = (int) embeddedGreen;
int embeddedBlueValue = (int) embeddedBlue;
//input the embedded RGB value into the array
embeddedRGBValue[0] = embeddedRedValue;
embeddedRGBValue[1] = embeddedGreenValue;
embeddedRGBValue[2] = embeddedBlueValue;
//Return embedded pixel value
return embeddedRGBValue;
}This is the code where I used for the embedding process:
else if(target == embedButton){
String xCoordinate = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(embedButton, "Enter coordinate X", "When you want to embed the watermark?", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
String yCoordinate = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(embedButton, "Enter coordinate Y", "When you want to embed the watermark?", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
int xValue = Integer.parseInt(xCoordinate);
int yValue = Integer.parseInt(yCoordinate);
int wCounter = 0;
int hCounter = 0;

File inputWatermark = new File(watermarkPath);

tempImage = image;
imageIcon = new ImageIcon(tempImage);
labelImage.setIcon(imageIcon);

setVisible(true);
System.out.println("Embedding completed");
catch(Exception errorEmbedding){
//If there is any error, the try and catch function will tell you the error
System.out.println("The following error occured: "+errorEmbedding);
}This is the code I use to save the image that had been embedded with the barcode:
else if(target == saveAction){
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
FileNameExtensionFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("JPG & GIF Images", "jpg", "gif");
chooser.setFileFilter(filter);
chooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File("."));

String name = chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();
//Create a string instant to hold outputImage path name
String saveFile = chooser.getSelectedFile().getName()+"."+fileType;
//Create file output to decide what name will be used to save the file
File outputImage = new File(saveFile);
try{
//Save the file with the name used
ImageIO.write((RenderedImage) tempImage,fileType,outputImage);
catch(Exception errorSaving){
//If there is any error, the try and catch function will tell you the error
System.out.println("The following error occured: "+errorSaving);
else{
}This is the code I used for removal process of barcode:

File inputImage = new File("removalTesting.jpg");
//File inputWatermark = new File(watermarkPath);
//Used a defined barcode for testing of removing barcode from embedded image

}Sorry if the codes are in a mess, I did not had the time to sort it out yet but most likely do it when I got the removal of barcode done.
Follow this link to have a look of the result I see in my application when I got the barcode embedded into the image I selected:
[http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=beforeremovalresultmg2.jpg]
Follow this link to have a look of the result I see in my application after I got the barcode removed:
[http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=removalresultmx4.jpg]
As you can see from the link, after I remove the barcode from the image. Some of the pixel actually went back to normal in the barcode area when the the barcode is embedded into the image. But some pixel in the barcode area had its value changed due to compression when I save the image file I think.
Anyone can help me find out the problem?
Thanks.KamenRider wrote:
I suspect the problem lies in the code when I save the image. Because people said that PNG was loseless compression but when I saved in PNG some of the pixel went back to normal while some did not. This is obviously the cause from changing of pixel value when I saved the image.You are almost certainly wrong. This is trivially easy to check. Print out the color of a certain pixel immediately before you save it. Open the saved PNG in your favorite image manipulation program and check the saved value of that same pixel. When you re-load the saved PNG, print out the color again. It should be unchanged.
Thanks you for trying to help me spot the problem but the formula is correct. The alpha value i used in my application is used to set the transparency of the barcode that will be embedded in the image. Hence, when alpha = 1 the new pixel value should be the barcode value. ^^The formula isn't wrong, it's just not doing what you think it's doing. Remember that you're working with ints here, not floating point numbers, so they have finite precision. When you case from double to int, fractions are dropped. As morgalr pointed out, your formula is:
(1-alpha * Image pixel value) + (alpha * barcode pixel value) = new pixel value You didn't show us the code for getOriginalImagePixelValue but I imagine it's:
original pixel value = (new pixel value - alpha * barcode pixel value) / (1 - alpha)On a piece of paper, take alpha = 0.9, image pixel = 17 and barcode pixel = 100. Calculate out what you should get for new pixel value and then calculate what you should get for original pixel value. You will find they don't match. -
Cannot remove file menu from split screen monitors.
Hello, I installed the latest update from Apple which was the new Safari 7. I run 2 added monitors with my iMac being the primary. After update installed, both of my split monitors have the file menu on the top of the monitors. I went into the system menu under display and everything is as it should be yet I cannot remove the file menu from my secondary monitors....
Thanks for the info however this still didnt solve the issue. I unselected and closed window but no changes were detected. I re opened the mission control and the box was selected again. I still have the file menues on both secondary monitiors. After i installed the latest update from apple, the one with the new safari update, is when i started having this issue. Everything worked fine before. My computer seems to be runing much slower now and when i click to open safri, it takes about 40 seconds to open safari..On both secondary monitiors, the file menues operate as if they are the main monitor, which my imac should be operating as the main....This is anoying...
