Cf card issues

Hi,
I am a recent convert to the Mac and slowly learning the new way to do things. Biggest issue at the moment is clearing images from the CF card. On the PC I can cut and paste from the card... leaving the card truly empty. On the Mac I only find a way to copy and paste... and then I have to drag the image files to trash. I drag images from the cf card (using a card reader, card is not in camera) to the trash on the dock, they appear to be removed from the card... two visible folders on card say empty and zero bytes, but when I look at info for card I can see that the card is not truly empty. Looking at the trash on the dock I see the images are there. Even though my camera says there are no images to preview, it eventually tells me the card is full. I discovered that I have to empty the trash on the dock (with card still in reader) before the card is truly empty as well. If I don't do this last step, I can eject the card, read it on a PC and see a folder that says "trash". The images are all there until I delete this folder (on the PC). Something about this does not seem "right".
I tried several cards, reformatted them, searched every forum I could think of, called tech help, and found the work around solution on my own... but it isn't one I am satisfied with. I think there must be a better way to truly clear a card.
I installed the Canon camera's software on the Mac, but don't find anything helpful. I am new to the Mac and it is entirely possible I am missing something really obvious... I haven't cut the cord to the PC yet but hope to eventually... I need to work out some of these issues first.
Thanks for any help you can give. Holaday

orangekay,
Thank you for the input. I'll check out the "erase when done" option in Aperture... although I don't currently use Aperture to "get" the images from the card... preferring to manage them differently. Are you suggesting that I reformat in the camera every time I return the card to it? This does wipe it clean, but I have never needed to do this after using the card on a PC. I did reformat the card in the camera yesterday, trying everything I could think of to make things work as I believe they should. Except for emptying the card, it didn't change anything.
Once I see the images in a new folder on my computer, I would like to be able to move the originals off of the card, into the trash, and not have the trash on the card (but invisible) after it is ejected.
With the way things work now, I have to empty the trash before ejecting the card... meaning that if anything happens to the folder with the images on my computer, there is no way to recover them from the trash. I do want the card truly empty once images are on the computer and also in the trash. I can now see why professional photographers advise us to save at least two copies in different locations.
When I started this request for help, I already had a way to empty the card... something I found after hours of struggling on my own (I did say I am new to the Mac). What I still don't understand is why there is an invisible (to the Mac) "trash" folder on the card if I fail to empty the dock's trash before ejecting the card. Do you understand why this might be? Is it "normal" for the way things are done with the Mac?

  • SD Card Issues and Sound Issues

    Hello all,
    I bought my Xperia Z2 probably 2-3 months ago and I have to say I do love this phone.
    However I have come across a few issues that seems to be, not so common as I cannot find any solutions online (Which is why I'm here).
    I am having 2 issues:
    1st Issue:
    SD Card Issue, this is a funny one as I have not been able to identify what actually causes this issue. Now this all started (or when I started to realise the issue) when I changed some settings in the Camera App. I saw that it was saving photos to "Internal Storage" and since I specifically bought a new SD card for the Xperia Z2, I wanted to store photos on the SD card instead.
    So I changed it to SD Card Storage and all is well (At least, that is what I thought).
    After taking some photos one day, I got home and wanted to preview them, in the photos app and Album (Sony's Photo Previewer) it shows that the photo is corrupted or missing (Depending on which app I'm using). This really annoyed me as the photos I took seems to be all lost and corrupted. So I tried to use a file explorer (Including File Commander) to find the actual file and open it, but it seems to have the same problem. I get this grey background with a picture of a mountain with like a thunderbolt sign (Broken sign).
    Following this, I have also tried to copy some video files onto the SD card and it has been giving me troubles too. I tried to copy videos onto the SD card in 2 ways, first way is to take the SD card out, connect it to a SD card reader and plug that into the computer. After it finished copying onto the SD card, the files would just disappear (I use computers a lot and this was very surprising and new to me... It's like the SD card deleted the files right after it was copied, or maybe even 'hid' the files).
    So since that method didn't work I thought I would try putting the SD card back into the phone and connect the phone to the computer then use Sony's MediaGO (Computer App) to transfer the videos and it sort of worked this time. I copied 14 videos over and only the first 2 videos are working, the others are all "Media is missing" or of some sort. I checked the video's format and they are all either .avi or .mp4 which I don't think is a problem as the first 2 videos are in .avi so surely other .avi videos would work too? Guess not...
    So it seems like I am having troubles with Video and Photos on the SD card as music is working 100% fine. Used Media GO to copy the music on and it's all working wonderfully.
    Some of you might suggest formatting the SD Card, I will say I have... I have tried the above methods before formatting AND after formatting (Formatting using Xperia Z2, or shall I say "erase").
    The SD card I have is Sandisk's 64GB Ultra (I bought this to anticipate 4K or at least 1080p video recordings).
    If the issue here is SD Card compatibility and I was silly enough to not have seen that prior, then I would gladly admit it's my fault and be happy that the solution would simply mean to buy another SD card.
    But that said, I highly doubt that would be the issue due to the fact that the SD card is made for performance (Not the best performance as the Extreme and Extreme Pro range are a lot better) and the card is new.
    2nd Issue:
    Now this issue is not as bad as the first issue, it's something to do with the sound. I understand the phone has 3 sound controls, one for the Ringtone for when you get a notification or/and phone call, one for Media and one for Alarm. 
    What I do is I have the Ringtone volume sitting at around 50% and Media will be dependent as I change it when I open an app but the issue I've been having is this:
    If I open an app (Mainly games that has sound/music) and I change the Media volume to say 70% or even 20%, whenever I get a notification whilst in-app the notification volume seems to be at 100% no matter what I do with the media volume. This is weird as my default Ringtone/Notification volume is sitting very low at around 50% or even if I change it to 20%.
    What am I missing here? Any thoughts?
    With the above 2 issues, last resort would be to factory reset my phone but will be willing to do it if there's a high chance of the issue getting fixed.
    Your thoughts will be greatly received as right now I'm just lost and not sure what to do with the issues. I'm slowly getting the feeling that I should just give up on the phone and use it for phone calls, music and forget about the whole photo/video taking which is very sad as I love the phone's photo/video taking features.
    Solved!

    Hello Rickard,
    Thank you for the link, I have started the test and 10 minutes into the test the speed for writing dropped. Anyways I only managed to get through in writing 8GB of data then I gave up. I then started to verify that 8GB of data that was written on the SD Card.
    I have to say, it does seem like that SD Card is defective
    Thank you for providing the link, what I will do now is get another SD Card and see if the problem is still there.
    If the problem goes away I would consider my 1st issue being solved
    However I am still not sure about my 2nd issue as this is not related to the SD card. Even without the SD card in the phone I seem to be experiencing this problem.
    It's frustrating sometimes as if I'm trying to keep the volume down and play a game I can't because any notifications that comes through will be at 100% volume.
    Perhaps there's a setting I'm missing?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Z1 SD card issues..Often caused by FAKE SD cards, unbeknownst to the user and those trying to help?

    Hi All...
    Well for the last month or so Ive had problems with my 64 gb SD card..losing data, getting corrupt and requiring non stop formatting..until eventually it just died totally.
    Of course, throughout all this I was searching various forums for fixes and reasons why...and as far as I could see it was the fault of the Z1 'killing' SD cards ( I tried the card in other peoples phones and it did not work either..so I assumed it had been corrupted BY the phone!......since it HAD worked perfectly when i first got it)...
    Well...Once it finally died totally this week., I decided to send it back to Samsung for an RMA. The card I had was a good quality,  64gb Samsung Evo SDXC class 10...Bear in mind I purchased it from an  Ebay seller that had  1000s of positive feedback (1 or 2 negs regards late postage only) and the card arrived in the post in packaging with hologram etc, and all appeared good quality....
    Im actually pretty tech savvy..and indeed internet shopping savvy, and have never been ripped off or conned before.....I didnt buy a 64gb EVo that was ridiculously cheap or anything..I paid what they are worth (then about £27)
    But Samsung took one look at it and informed me it was a fake...the issue I had come up against was that the card worked fine up until its ACTUAL (not listed) capacity was reached..which was 7 GIGS!!!..not 64!!!...it was at that point that it started corrupting files and failing in general....
    Which in my case was a couple of weeks after installing it in my phone (and the day I got round to piling all my music on it!)......so I had a few weeks of actual use out of it while all seemd fine....enough time to leave positive feedback for the seller and all!.....DEVIOUS SWINES!!! : D.
    Anyway,
    Now Im wondering...since these symptoms (files vanishing, corrupting etc) have been talked about so many times on these forums and elsewhere...not only on the Xperia Z1, but on all phones and devices that use SD cards...I wonder just how many are REALLY down to fake SD cards.....They are VERY realistic looking fakes...they even work pretty well up to a point (though probs not as fast as a real class 10 if you were to actually test them)..
    In future, when offering help to people with SD card issues..i think I will make an effort to ask them first about the provenance of their SD card, and maybe try and get images of it. (after the fact Ive found several websites that show the fake ones...I even found an image of the EXACT fake I have..same serial numbers, and same tiny printing error and all!....which was THIS site https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/504/Samsung-micro-SDXC-Memory-Cards.html)
    In all the threads I pored over, trying to find a fix for my SD card issues..I can not remember a single instance of someone asking if the card was definitely real or not..or anyone suspecting this to be the issue....(though Im sure there ARE, i didnt find one though..not that I would havee thought it was the case with mine,,,,since I had NO reason to think it WAS fake..what with the perfect packaging, and seller having no neg feedback after selling hundreds of them!).
    Im not some sort of SD card expert..BUT I am pretty up to date with regards consumer tech.....and until Samsung revealed to me I had been conned...I had absolutely no INKLING that the cause of my issues wa a fake card...on no forums did anyone ask the person with the issue 'are you sure your card is real?'.....and I am really coming round to think that these fake cards are RIFE out there on the market....so realistic looking, package and all, that probably otherwise legitimate sellers are trading in them......the KILLER being the fact they do actually work...maybe for MONTHS if it takes you a while to reach its true capacity....and certainly long enough in many cases to mean the nefarious seller gets away scot free!
    So watch out guys...I ceritanly will be in fuiture...Now I know that fake cards are a big thing.....its really easy to spot the fake ones (if the seller uses a REAL picture of the item on the listing!)...they are by no means identical to the real deal when you know what to look for (in the case of fake EVO 64gb like mine, just 'made in Taiwan' and the back being gloss black instead fo white, is enough to show it as fake.....but I did not know that at the time when an absolutely perfect lookng offical Samsung package turned up at my door!....
    Anyone else have this yet? Im sure they have....also, anyone wonder now if the cause of their woes is a fake card? If you would like to post here, Im happy to have a look at it!
    Thanks all!
    (Here is my fake one for you all to see : D...apparently it is a VERY common fake....wish I had known! I also wish i still had the very realistic packaging too!)

    Well to be honest I wasnt aware of such things myself until I got stung.....or  rather not aware that you could follow all the rules, and do everything right, like check for good feedback, (my seller had 1000s positve and 99% ratio....and not buy items that have a price that is 'too good to be true'...........and STILL get ripped off!
    You live and you learn! Ive been shopping online for just about 10 years and this was the VERY FIRST time Ive had a problem of ANY kind!
    I had gotten so confident shopping online, that I bought a pretty valuable watch online not a month ago..my first 'large' online purchase in fact.....a Casio GPW-1000 RAF edition... a quite rare '500 pieces in UK' item. Though it came from a large watch dealer, I realise now that it was still a risk (though I had the protection of paying by Credit Card..which I willl ALWAYS do from now on!)....as they may have sold a counterfiet item, and not actually realised it themselves...
    Since I have had this experience of buying a counterfeit product,, I haev been reading into the phenomena..and it turns out that Casio G Shock watches (the type I spent a fari bit of money on...a legitimate one luckily!) are very heavily counterfeited...and are ALL OVER Ebay....who seems to do nothing about it!
    I can understand (though not condone AT ALL) criminals counterfeiting a sought after watch design, or jewellery and things like that...because they have a market for them, in the shape of people that cant afford the real thing, and think its ok to buy a cheap and poor quality knock off, that only superficially appears to be real.......
    ...but I have to say its a big surprise to me that they would counterfeit something like an SD card, even if it is a quite highly regarded model.......and even go to such effort to copy the packaging perfectly......I think that the fact that so much effort went into faking a Samsung Evo 64gb sd card ..that it demonstrates that there are a LOT of them out there....hundreds of thousands for sure....but could there be millions?
    Due to this prevelance, I think it might well be worth asking each person that comes on the forum with an SD card problem, in particular those with a'new' SD that is losing data, or needs to reformat all the time, or any of the 'giveaway' symptoms...to ask them for an image of the offending article as a starting point.....and to then compare it to images of the real ones that are online...
    Im sure most of them will deny they own a fake....I certainly didnt think for one second my problems were due to a counterfeit card...as I said in my post...the first I knew of it was when Samsung themselves informed me!
    Otherwise we end up going round in circles trying to 'fix the unfixable'..which is what happend to me : D
    Anyway, I will keep an eye out for people on the forum, and a couple of other tech sites I frequent, and see if I can identify any more of these fakes, and hopefully can catch them soon enough that the customers can get their money back, since the problems often dont manifest themselves until the time for immediate refund is passed (once again, this happened to me, and Im having to claim through Paypal..though they are being very helpful...its only £22...but its the principle of the thing!)
    Thanks all, and stay vigilant!

  • Macbook Pro Retina 2014 Top Spec - Premiere Pro CC Graphics Card Issue

    Hello,
    For 12 months I have been having graphics card issues which all started on my 2011 MBP, which Apple replaced 12 months ago. I Then got a new shiny, 2013 highest end retina macbook pro from apple, in which after a couple of weeks had the exact same graphics issue. As soon as I start working in Premiere Pro with my 1080P DSLR footage, once the fans get up high, then the graphic colour hologram like start pooping on my screen. Now I got that retina replaced as I alerted apple about it, now they have given me the highest end 2014 model, and guess what? The problem is twice as bad.
    I think it's definitely got something to do with the Apple software. It's weird though, because on the rare occasion, the graphic poop will show up on my screen when I am on Youtube (only once in a blue moon it does that) - it does it every single time 15-20 mins into editing with Premiere Pro, once the fans get hot. I can click on the graphics poop and it makes it disappear, which is weird, maybe that proves it software issue?
    I don't know, but this problem has caused me to go through two of apples most powerful laptops, 60 phone calls to Apple, 1 investigation lodged to the Apple Engineers (the people who are above the Senior Apple Care Advisors) - Nothing seems to fix it, and I haven't been able to create any more intriguing films on my laptop because Premiere Pro CC just brings up all the graphics poop.

    Does anyone know what causes this exactly? How do I fix it?

    Thanks for the follow up information for my video card/graphics card question that came to mind out of curiosity.
    I do not have Premiere Pro and am strictly and Elements Windows user. Otherwise I would look into this matter for you first hand. The place you want to be is in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum, although, as you already mentioned, the screen display irregularities have appeared when Premiere Pro was not being used. Have you tried uninstalling Premiere Pro to determine if its removal from the computer resolves the screen display irregularities for whatever you are doing in the computer applications like iMovie? For that matter, do you see the problem in iMovies?
    Just some thoughts to think about as you compose your inquiry for the Premiere Pro users in the Premiere Pro Forum.
    Best wishes

  • Nokia Lumia 822 has MicroSD card issues

    I upgraded to my Lumia in April, and since then, it has ruined 3 MicroSD cards. It either stops recognizing that they are in the phone (after which I've discovered that putting them into my computer and formatting them, they can be recognized), or simply deletes everything.
    My latest SD card has lasted about a week so far, but I noticed that after synching my phone (to the Windows program that it uses on your computer) my "Camera Roll" was emptied of most of the pictures. There were two pictures left, but I was unable to "attach and send" them or "attach and share" to any of my messages or apps.
    Also, anytime I synch my music through the Windows program on the computer, it adds another copy of the song to the card, or removes songs that I want to keep on the SD card.
    The program used to synch isn't very user friendly, especially when trying to navigate pictures (only lists the file names, no options for thumbnails whatsoever), so I might just need help learning how to use that better?
    I love my phone, but it has become a large pain, considering this isn't the only issue I've encountered.
    Is anyone else having issues like these? And if so, have you found any solutions?

        Hi ARowald,
    I understand your concerns regarding the SD card issues you have encountered. A review of my resources indicate that this issue has been escalated to our software team and the manufacturer will address these issues in a future software update (No ETA).

  • Two video cards issue

    Any fix for the "Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth" when having two video cards issue?

    Now, the strange thing is: after a few initial issues one of the macs is doing fine. The second one, on the contrary, is a nightmare. Finalcut gives a green screen of death and hangs up suddenly while performing simple operations (like dropping a clip on the timeline).
    I'm thinking of trying to replace the two video cards with an older single dual display card, and giving up the fancy lcd monitors (that i bought at vast cost), at least until apple issues an upgrade that adresses the two video card problem. <
    If the machines are mechanically equal, it's obviously not the cards. Although you can only be absolutely certain if you swap the cards between machines and see if the green screen issue follows one or both cards.
    However, that new LCD display and card combination doesn't have much time in the pipeline so there could be other issues and you're doing the beta testing for all of us. Blaming the reseller is pointless; no one can keep track of all of these issues. We only find out about them only because of reported failures.
    You should research the "green screen" here on the forum. I do not recall if there are display or graphics cards issues associated with it. That seems unlikely. IIRC, it appears to be a QT issue.

  • Memory Card Issue with my BlackBerry Curve 9300

    Hello,
    I have been using the memory card for more than a year. It's a SanDisk or a ScanDisk memory card. It's 8 GB. I didn't use the card that came with my BlackBerry Curve 9300 phone. I'm always trying to delete files or to copy files, most of them are music files from my laptop to the memory card via memory card reader.
    Now I am encountering a message that I need to repair the memory card whenever I try to insert it to my phone again. And most of the time whenever the phone automatically repairs it, some files are corrupted or considered as a "lost chunk files".
    How can I recover those files? And why did it happen or always happen in the first place?
    According to this site, you need to reformat it: http://www.techtalkz.com/tips-n-tricks/1535-memory-card-corrupted-here-solution.html
    So what I did is to copied everything to my laptop then reformatted it completely.
    It kinda solved the issue but for how long will I won't be experiencing the "repair memory card" issue and the "lost chunk files" issue?
    Do I need another program to reformat the memory card and not to use the one that comes with every windows computer?
    Does using a memory card reader or using a memory card adapter (for the microSD card) corrupts the memory card?
    I have been researching on how to completely recover the files but I'm a bit confused.
    There are a lot of recovery programs out there.
    Can you guys help me out here? Thanks.
    Here are the researches that I made:

    I think you should try each and everyone of the solutions suggested in the link I provided, given that it covered both harware and software suggestions. And always reset the device by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2 after each step.
    See if that resolves the problem.

  • Credit Card issue to create Deliveries

    Hi,
    Hereu2019s the situation. 
    We have 2 types of Orders.
    DROP SHIP ORDERS - The part to be shipped is actually in an inventory managed location. No transfer order need to be created. This sales order has a Credit Card that is denied.
    NOTE: The order has to be pre-authorized, and then Denied and then get picked from an Inventory Location.
    1. Use VL01N to create the Delivery.  No error (warning) message was displayed indicating credit card issues.
    2. Change the storage location on the line item to the inventory managed location and enter the delivery quantity.
    3. Press Save. A error (warning) message is displayed indicating credit card issue.
    4. The system lists the delivery number that has been created.
    5. Execute VL02N to view the delivery.  the delivery does not exist.
    TRANSFER ORDERS -
    1. Use VL01N to create the Delivery.
    2. You do not need to change the SLOC value.
    3. Press Save.
    4. A Transfer Order is created automatically and the Delivery exists.
    I copied BEDINGUNG_PRUEFEN_111 into BEDINGUNG_PRUEFEN_911 to make some changes.
    The problem is when I use the below code it works fine for DROP SHIP ORDERS. For TRANSFER ORDER, a delivery is created but a transfer order is not created.
    *** Attention: copied routine!                           ***

    When I comment the below line TRANSFER ORDERS work fine but DROP SHIP ORDERS show that a delivery is created but actually its not created.

    I tried using the debug but the program would not stop in this routine.
    I would appreciate your suggestions on this.
    Thanks
    Rakesh

    I looked into OSS NOTE 303052 as suggested by you and that's already implemented.
    Did you look at the part of the note that suggests changing the message from type 'I' to u2018Eu2019?  That is in the comments at the top and is a MODIFICATION that isnu2019t part of the note itself:
    If you want to prevent the creation of a delivery without sufficient authorization, you have to change the message type from 'I' to 'E'.
    You've probably already tried setting a break-point on the form itself, FORM BEDINGUNG_PRUEFEN_111, correct? 
    Turn on system debugging?
    Perhaps your form isn't being called at all?

  • Video Card issues in WinXP - Left 4 Dead

    Just wanted to see if anyone was having issues like I'm seeing in these two pics.
    This first pics shows what appear to be polygon regions appearing out of no where.
    http://i44.tinypic.com/2v146ep.jpg
    And this 2nd pic shows spikes that appear mostly out of characters but on some objects as well.
    http://i44.tinypic.com/vqhafk.jpg
    Usually when I start playing everything is fine but after a 20min or so they will start to appear. Changing some video settings in the game (such as anti-aliasing or resolution) will usually make them disappear for a few minutes but they will then re-appear. My best guess is that this is due to the video card overheating as it doesn't happen right away, but that's just a guess. I tried installing 'speedfan' to increase the fan speed but it does not seem able to control the speed on the video card.
    Also, I only have the drivers that have come with the bootcamp installation. On the forums it seems that it is recommended not to install other versions of the drivers so I have not at this point.
    I'm running bootcamp (windows xp 32bit) on my MacPro 10.5.5 / 4GB ram (quad core Xenon) with the ATI-X1900. I have the latest 2.1 bootcamp installed. The game runs perfectly beyond these issues, although I do get the occasional stutter or audio repeat.
    I don't have any of these issues on TF2.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on a possible solution? or does anyone know of a way to control the fan speeds in Windows? In OSX I use smcFanControl to keep the machine a little cooler.
    PS. I also heard that some of the ATI-X1900 cards had issues. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, can anyone recommend another card for my MacPro? I do occasionally get video card issues in OSX too while doing 3d work.
    Thanks for any help!

    Upon inspection of the card it is totally loaded with dust. I found this article:
    http://macsaregreat.com/?p=63
    which has some pics and this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1265166&start=0&tstart=0
    which discusses many issues as well with the X1900 and Leopard. I first started seeing issues with the card during my 3d work after I installed Leopard.
    I'm off to the computer store to pick up some compressed air to try to clean that vent now. I already use smcFanControl already, before using it I was getting card errors every day.
    Thanks again for the info regarding the dust on that card.

  • Warhammer - Graphics Card Issue

    So here's my problem. I'm running vista through bootcamp and am having problems installing/running Warhammer Online becauce of what appears to be a graphics card issue?
    I screened through systemrequirementslab.com and came back with it saying I had "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"
    The game has very specific video card requirements, which in actuality I meet. But when I try to run the game I get a black screen to crash.
    Is there a way to fix this issue? Or should just get rid of this thing and buy a PC.

    You might want to use Driver Sweeper and remove (deinstall and delete) your old drivers first, before installing new drivers.

  • Graphics card issue on new 2014 mini?

    I have two Viewsonic monitors hooked up to one of the new Mac Mini's. I have the 2.6 ghz version with a fusion drive. I'm using a Thunderbolt to DVI connection for both monitors (using the two thunderbolt/display ports).
    I'm having an issue where about 1 out of every 4 times I wake up the Mac from sleeping, one or both monitors have a distorted display. It almost looks like the colors on the screen are inverted. Other times one display will work, but the other is a digital version of a "salt and pepper" screen.
    Putting the computer to sleep & back awake will usually fix it, but sometimes it takes a couple of wake/sleep cycles for the display to return to normal.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Is this something I can fix, or do I have a graphics card issue? I've only had the computer for a couple of weeks now.

    I saw some posts about the screens not waking, I haven't experienced that. So far mine will always turn on, they are just either distorted colors or snow. I wonder if it's a related issue?

  • Graphics card issue - Satellite A100-313 shuts down by itself

    I have a satellite A100-313 and I'm using vista.
    Everytime when I play games, the notebook shuts itself off after some time. It varies, normally have 10-20min of playing.
    And when I immediately turn it on again, I get a black screen but the computer is running. I'd have to wait a while to turn it on again for the screen to work.
    So it starts up again and the resolution is changed to 1024x764 (the native resolution is 1280).
    I assume it is a graphics card issue (I have a Geforce 7600 Go). I already updated to the latest vista drivers available from the Toshiba site (the one from september).
    What can I do to fix this? The automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hm, sounds tricky.
    I can suggest you the following:
    Download the latest bios for your machine from the toshiba download site:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    And last but not least, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it up with a can with compressed air to remove the dust from the fan and the heatpipe-fin.
    If you have some questions, just ask.
    Nice weekend

  • TS1646 I use and overseas credit card for purchases but Itunes is insisting on a credit card issued within NZ where I live.?

    Why can I not use and overseas credit card for purchases?  My account information is insisting on a credit card issued within my country of residence..?

    iTunes doesn't allow a credit card that was issued by a bank in another country (possibly because it's a way of confirming that you are able to buy from a country's store) - you will only be able to use a credit card issued by a New Zealand bank. Or you could use iTunes gift cards as your payment method, as far as I can see they are available in New Zealand.

  • Lenovo z5070 graphics card issue 'nvidia'

    i bought a new laptop .. i have windows 8.1 ... Z5070 - Graphics cards issue (Unable to play heavy graphic games. Nvidia Card) Z5070 with Nvidia Graphic card is having problem when playing high graphic games. The Nvidia graphic card is not detected and it is only using the Intel Graphic card.i install latest updates for everything.what is the problem pllz i want to play games

    Hi abdallah650, By default the graphic cards used by computer are switched automatically, depend of application to run. You can check and change this for each application in NVidia Control Panel - 3D settings.
    Also you can run each application with right click on it and choose the prefered graphic card. Read this article: switching between Intel and NVidia graphics and here.  I hope that will help you.
