I can't seem t find your model in the Toshiba US support site.
However, usually, you tap the F8 key while powering up and it brings you into the Start Up recovery menu.

Mbp freezing at startup, please help!
Hey, a couple days ago i shut down my mbp and turned it on the next day. It came on, made its noise, went to the grey apple start up screen, little gear was spinning and then nothing. It stayed on this screen for a full 30 min. I haven't downloaded any new software or anything. I just got it to boot up in safe mode but, I don't know what to do with it otherwise, please help!
Try this
Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
fsck -fy
Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
reboot -
HELP PLEASE! I am working with GH4 4k footage in adobe preimere and the computer keeps freezing... any ideas?
Thanks for your response. I'm sorry for the lack of details, but posting a question on this forum is completly new to me, so I guess I am learning how it works.
I have to be honest, I am a novice to video editing, but I am here to learn so I will provide all the info I know and please let me know if it is enough...
I filmed my first feature film on a Panasonic GH4. We filmed in 4k (compressed files). I am about 900 GB of total files for all the footage. I am currently editing on a 17' Toshiba Satellite i7 with 750 GB of space and I believe 8 gb of ram. All of the footage for the film is not on the computer, but stored on a 1 TB external hardrive (Rugged Lacie is the name of the hard drive). I am using a usb 3.0 from the hard drive to the computer.
I actually was able to get through about 17 mins of edits for the film before I started to experiencing the computer completely freezing up on me. I tried using a different hard drive, and same issue. A friend mentioned it might just be the computer is not powerful enough to edit all the footage, but he wasn't for sure considering the computer is less than a year old and is on the higher end for a toshiba.
I am requesting advice on how to continue editing the film without the computer crashing if that is even possible with using the same computer. If not what would be my options?
Thank you! -
Computer keeps freezing w/adobe flash player 10...help!!!
ok, so i've literally done EVERYTHING that this site, and the microsoft windows site, have recommended. yesterday "eidnolb" had one final suggestion; un-check the accelerator box on the flash player logo. i did that and figured that if that didn't do the trick, i'd know about in about a week, or so. that's how long all of the suggestions lasted before i have to un-install and re-install flash player 10. well...last night i was listening to christmas music and after a couple of hours (only this time??) my computer again crashed and my only choice was to (again) cold boot it, which isn't really good for it. i have not yet done the uninstall/reinstall. i'm hoping someone, somewhere, has more suggestions to try!
i read (somewhere) someone asking if they could uninstall version 10 and then re-install version 9. however, at this point, i have no idea where i saw that, or if it worked?? if that worked, or will work, what do i do if i then get a message that there is a newer version of flash player? can i ignore it?
i'm using IE 8 and, as stated, (trying to use) adobe flash player 10. i also have netflix that i use quite often. actually i think that's what started this mess to begin with?
please, i've read all the suggestions on here about a lot of people having the same problem and as far as i can tell there seems to be nothing i can do about it, seeing as i really do need the flash player on my computer.
ANYONE...PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
thanx-catsorry all...don't mean to keep posting, but i'm guessing that the more info i give
all of you, the better the help maybe.
this entire mess (everything i've now listed) really started with the IE 9 Beta, which is what made un-install it after about a week (i think), and then install IE 8. i had never used IE 8 though. i went from IE 7, to IE 9 Beta, to IE 8, which is what i have now. i did all the un-installing and re-installing of the different versions correctly. i've checked all of that, but is there a chance that the 9 Beta just "glitched out" my laptop and it isn't going to get fixed until they have the usable IE 9?? the IE 9 Beta REALLY messed with my mail page the most. i attempted to contact yahoo about a fix, to no avail! LOL (we all know this!)
also...why am i NOT the only one that the freezing happens to? there are others on this forum that have that problem. i don't know if they're having the other problems that i am, but as far as my laptop freezing up on me... i know i'm not alone? with xmas coming up so soon, i haven't watched anything on netflix in a couple of weeks. my news videos seem to play correctly; and now youtube works. i just have no idea what's going on that is causing this to freeze up at other times, or the other, smaller glitches?
there's not a doubt in my mind that this has something to do with the current version of adobe, and IE 8...i just don't know what it is...and my frustation level is at about 19!! LOL there are days that i just shut the whole thing down/off 'cause i'm just tired of dealing with it!! that has made it terribly hard to get my xmas chopping done. i do it all on-line. between my problems and problems with vendors sites, my bank a/c has (3 times!) gotten charged multiple times for a single order. then "we" start calling people! the bank, the vendors, the bank again......
see what i'm up against here!!!!!! i'm cracking me up this a.m. macy's placed 9 orders and charged my a/c 9 times, the other day! needless to say, i ran in the red for 2 days while they figured it all out. in doing all that, i couldn't even get an order # outta them, so i told them to just cancel EVERYTHING!! good thing i have a great rep at my bank, huh??!! 'course they're also messed up...at the beginning of dec. i (somehow?) transfered the same amount to my chkg. a/c, 4 times??!! yep...the bank's gotten yelled at, too, during this season of such wonderful happines!! BAH-HUMBUG!! -
Installed new Ram & 10 minutes after startup the computer keeps freezing.
I have mac book pro from 2006 (1.83ghz) I recently installed 2 new 1G ram chips from crucial for a total ram of 2G. I am running osx 10.6. and 10 minutes after startup the computer keeps freezing. Could it be that 10.6 is too much for the processor?
10.6 is not "too much for" your MBP. You may have gotten a faulty RAM module — it happens.
Start your machine up while holding down the D key, and when Apple Hardware Test appears, select the Extended Test. Run the extended test at least once all the way through, if you can, and post back with the exact text of any error message it reports.
If the test can't be completed, you definitely have a hardware problem, and the first suspect is the new RAM. In that case, reinstall the RAM that originally came in your machine and run the extended test again. If it is completed without errors this time, the Crucial RAM is clearly at fault and should be exchanged. -

My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power supply (when I plug it to the outlet), BEFORE I switch on the button on the computer, why is this happening? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out and I'm forced to restart it, that's when the compter starts on its own when I turn on the power.
Hello Engender,
I should have followed up with a progress report because I eventually eliminated all the problems I was having with my Mac Pro, now it's behaving like a new computer… beautifully. I did originally take Grant's advice above, changing the setting that I had in the System Preferences > Energy Saver but that only stopped from rebooting on its own when I shut down my Mac properly. Otherwise it continued to restart on its own after freezing or crushing when I switched on the power. I took my machine to the Apple Store and after many tests they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I was very depressed about the whole business.
It was after going onto many of the other Apple related websites that I discovered that it wasn't a faulty power switch or fan, as as I originally thought, but found out that my problem was related to the Graphic Card and possibly I did not have enough ram (I had the original amount of 2 GB). The original card that came with the computer: 512 MB ATI Radeon X1900 XT was over heating and forcing my machine to shut down, I think it was because I had upgraded to OSX Lion which on its own requires at least 2 GB of ram to operate well. I added 4 GB of Ram to the 2GB I had (4GB kit (2GBx2), Apple 240-pin FBDIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 upgrades for Apple Mac Pro (4-core) 1st Gen. - 2006-2007 Desktop/PC, CT579443 from Crucial.com about $160 for the set) and replaced the Graphic Card with ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB from Apple (around $260), (ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - Apple Store (U.S.)) This card works very well with my original Mac Pro 2008. I installed it about two weeks ago and no problem with it starting on its own, over heating or freezing. OSX Lion works well and I'm thinking of upgrading to Mountain Lion once I learn that my Mac Pro 1.1 will work with the new hardware I installed.
Your problem could just be the power cord but I agree with you that doesn't sound right, when I mentioned faulty switch I meant the part where the power cord meets the power button, the unit which houses the power distribution, I thought at first that it could be faulty but changed my mind because of the computer overheating.
I don't know if this is of any help to you but I hope your trouble will be solved with the new cord. -
my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible
i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!! -
How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts… 18 plus movies need to go…. Thank you.
Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my computer keeps freezing. How to fix?
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and nowmy computer keeps freezing. How do I fix this?
I know you have 10.8.4. I'm asking you to download and install a Combo updater. This is not the same updater used through the App Store when you simply upgraded from 10.8.3. And, before you do that I suggest you do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu. -
