Hello,
Do the upper and lower filter troubleshooting.
Click on start, type REGEDIT on seach programs and files then hit enter.
It will go directly to registry editor.
Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE click on + sign or the arrow then look for SYSTEM click on + sign or the arrow then look for CurrentControlSet click on + sign or the arrow then look for Control click on + sign or the arrow then look for Class click on + sign or the arrow then look for {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} click on + sign or the arrow then look on the right part of the window, look for LowerFilter and upper filter. Delete them or even if you can only find one of them, just delete it then restart the laptop.
Hope this work

Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

Hi,
We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago. However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba.
Problems:
Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time. Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes.
In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too. It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files. We are the only user account on this computer. We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer. Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer. It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds. HUGE nuisance. We watch a lot of videos.
Minor issue: In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com. If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results. On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine. I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can.
I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work. That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work. Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once. It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
This isn't a problem - just a question. Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary? Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
**CLARIFICATION: It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The one that you have to pay for. Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Yes, everything was fine with Firefox. However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
Thanks for battery info...
I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop. I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
Thanks for the info.
ScottinFla wrote:Concerning Firefox, have you checked your add-on list for any faulty plug-ins or extensions? Try disabling them and see what happens. Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
I have the same model and it works just fine.

Satellite A505-S6025: Win 7 64bit - driver ACPI\TOS1901 fails

I have that problem and my laptop freeze.
If anyone knows what it is and how i can fix it.
thanks!!!
the driver\driver\fwlnk failed to load for the device ACPI\TOS1901\2&daba3ff&2

Hi
Install the Toshiba Value Added Package for Win 7 64bit and check if it will solve your problem.
The driver for ACPI\TOS1901 seems to belongs to Value Added Package
As Im not mistaken the Satellite A505-S6025 was released in USA. Therefore you should use the Toshiba US driver page to get the package.

USB Device Not Recognized (IPod Touch 5g) (Win 7 64 Bit)

I have seen many threads for this but nothing that they suggest has fixed this for me.
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u45/JediJake2429/Capture_zps9d26bcea.png
I have an I touch 5g Model MD724LL/A, IOS 7.1.1
I have two Win 7 64 Bit Machines.
I tried two cables,
I tried two computers,
I have restored it,
I have put it into recovery mode,
I have uninstalled all apple software, and removed all traces from the registry,
I have done a fresh install of Itunes on the laptop which had never had it on there before,
I have ran the windows troubleshooter, and the Microsoft fix it troubleshooter,
I have removed all traces of the ipod driver and tried updating,
I have updated the driver from the itunes folder on my pc,
I have tried everything listed here: My iTouch 5th generation is not recognised by my computer. why?
I have tried everything listed here: Windows 7 blocks my iPod Touch
I have tried everything listed here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/ipod-touch-5 th-generation-not-recognized/85dac803-680e-4ce8-842c-9f58b0df7f7f
My wife even took it to the apple store today and they told me that it is a windows 7 issue. they basically would not do anything for her.
Funny thing is, after trying everything that was suggested to me online, by those at the apple store, and using my own PC knowledge as I also work in IT, it still does not recognize the driver. So it seems to me that Apple need to get their drivers updated to be compatible.
I currently have a $400 piece of crap Ipod that I cannot use because apple cannot make a driver that works.
Anybody that has anything new to suggest, be my guest.

Illaass,
It works connected to another apple device. I have TWO windows 7 64 Bit Machines both with widely different configurations, and they both have the same exact issue. This IS a driver issue, that much I agree with apple on. However its not a WINDOWS issue. APPLE makes the driver that is installed with Itunes. That Driver does not work. (As a side note, Apple really should get their head out of their A$$ and come up with better solutions vs telling their customers to restore their windows config. That's straight up BS.)
JEM24,
I have done that. I have also taken a PC that had never had any apple software on it and installed itunes on that. Tested, same result.

I never had this problem with windows 7.
- I connect my iPodTouch by cable to the USB
- The computer recognizes the iPod TOuch
- I can access the iPod Touch from My Computer
- iTunes does not recognize it. It doesn't pull it up as a device. All other iTunes servies work fine.
I have...
1. The most up to date version of iTunes.
2. Restarted my computer multiple times.
3. Powered down, reset, my iPod Touch multiple times.
4. I have downloaded all computer updates recommend from my manufacturer (Asus) for Windows 8 Pro compatability

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar

hi Crystal!
I downloaded iTunes 5.0 and now when I put a CD in it doesn't load the songs. I went out to the database site and looked up the album and it was there
hmmm. this question is to get a bit clearer on your situation. do you mean that your CD shows up in itunes, but your CDDB query doesn't work? or that itunes refuses to import the CD?
are you getting any error messages? if so, what do they say?

CD-ROM not recognized, then ejected

After inserting a CD-ROM into the optical drive, it just whirs a bit, stops, whirs some more--then ejects.
I've looked at the trouble-shooting doc for the slot-Loading SuperDrive. I've reset the SMC.
Nothing working. I've got some expensive software that i can't install, and now I can't return it!

Try resetting the SMC another 2x, sometimes the first try does not work. If you still have trouble try a different brand of media, if you still have trouble then go to your local office supply store, get a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit and clean the drive. If that doesn't work take the machine in for repair.

Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?
Laptop Windows XP

Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
What kind of laptop is it?

IPhone 3G no longer charges? Not recognized by computer? Win 7

Last night my iPhone 3G stopped being recognized by my laptop. I can only charge it with the USB wall charger which ***** because now I can't restore or put music on my phone anymore. This is. Second hand 3G but the same thing happened to my old iPhone.
I am running firmware 4.2.1. My iTunes is up to date and I'm on windows 7.
Any ideas? This problem is one of the main reasons why I bought another iPhone

I'm afraid that the link is somewhat irrelevant to my problem.
The problem is, that nothing happens whatsoever, when I connect my iphone to my computer. No charge, no nothing.
I connected my fiances iphone to my computer and it charged, and itunes recognized it without any problem.
However, I did try what the link suggested and nothing worked

Recovering photo's from crashed HP desk top hard drive on to my Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980?

I recently had my HP desk top crash.The HP says it cannot find any operating system but powers up and I do not have any kind of recovery disc for it. Is there any way to connect the hard drive to my Toshiba to recover the documents and photos? I'm not to computer savy but, with guidance I can probably figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In that case you'll need to see if one of these recovery tools provides a self booting disk option to recover the data or take the hard drive out of the HP, put it in a usb external enclosure for that type of drive (not sure if it is SATA or EIDE), connect it to your Toshiba, and run the recovery software from the Toshiba.

No sound on Satellite A505-S6980

About two hours ago my laptop ran out of battery life and then shutdown. I plugged in the charger and turned it back on to find out that the sound no longer works through the built in speakers, although I can hear sound through my headphones. Everything is unmuted, I checked all the drivers and they all seem to be fine, and restoring my computer didn't work.
help please :D

Yes, I can understand you that this is hard for you but such things could happen. ;)
But dont be worry: I have really good experience with my authorized service provider. The repair did take only few days and I think it should be same with your notebook because speakers should be exchanged in few minutes.
On the Toshiba website you can search for nearest authorized service provider:
