Connect Wi Fi to TV with Satellite P305-S8832

I have  Satellite P305-S8832 which is still running strong, running Windows 7.  I want to connect it wirelessly to an older large screen Samsung TV (not a Smart TV) which has an additional HDMI input that's not being used. My goal is to stream video, audio, and be able to search and surf the web. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can do that without breaking the bank?  Would something like Google's Chromecast work?  I appreciate any ideas you might have, and happy holidays.

As far as I know, the Chromecast only allows you to sling what's in your browser itself, not local files. I'm not sure if you can browse the web like that either. I think something like Intel Wireless Display could satisfy what you want, but I haven't used it myself. Check this link:
Is it possible to install Intel WiDi on a computer sold without it?

  • Satellite P305-S8832 - Media buttons don't work with Win7

    Hello Wise Friends,
    Recently I installed two brand new hard drives (500GB 7200 rpm OS/ 500GB 5400 rpm DATA) and I did a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bits on my 3 1/2 Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832. Everything but the media buttons is working pretty well.
    I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba repository including the Toshiba Software installer for Windows 7 and the toshiba valued package. Still those tactile buttons which are above the keyboard and between the speakers does not work, no light, no response, nothing. I have checked the bios.
    These buttons work out of the box with Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
    Any advice?

    Hi
    Generally speaking, the Multimedia buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and the buttons should work after the installation of VAP.
    Found the drivers here:
    [Satellite P305-S8832 drivers|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2059997& rpn=PSPC0U&modelFilter=P305-S8832&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663#]
    It seems that there is also a newer version of VAP available.
    Check other newer Sat P series in order to get latest VAP version.
    Furthermore install the Hardware Setup. This tool lets you customize your hardware settings

  • Adobe connect with satellite

    Hi,
    I teach classes using adobe connect.  We are thinking of moving out in the country to an area that can only get satellite internet.  Do any of you know if it is possible to use adobe connect with satellite?  I called the help line and asked but they could only say that they don't recommend it, but they don't really know.  The area has two providers, hughes and wildblue.  Anyone have any experience with this?
    Thanks,
    Teresa

    Let's be clear about consumer satellite internet versus commercial and military grade. These are completely different worlds. Understand that Adobe Connect is designed for and sold specifically to corporations, governernment agencies and universities. In that light, most of the target customer set would be using commercial grade internet connections. However, some proportion of users would be on consumer grade connections like DirecTV (now HugesNet). Having supported HughesNet while I worked at IBM in this space, they have lots of different connection types for universities and enterprise customers. Most of these customers have selected speeds that will work with any web conference solution. Having been a customer of HughesNet there are several consumer grade speeds and it would be best to have the higher speed version. The US Goverment has their own satelite netwrok and they use Connect all the time that way. Now, that being said understand that satelite networks have a very large latency factor that will affect the quality of any web conference. Latency is not really a problem except when you try to share webcams, video or MP3 files via Connect. The military tries to minimize the use of these multi-media types because latency affects the quality of the video. It can get quite choppy no matter what web conference you use because of the video needing a lot of bandwidth back and forth.
    So. let the buyer beware but if you have no other option than satellite pay the extra dollars for the highest package you can get.
    Another option might be celluar 3G or 4LTE. Adobe Connect works great on cellular networks so don't forget to see if that is an option. Might not be if the data plans limit the traffic though!
    Hope that helps.

  • Satellite P305, boot options menu not show for usb flashdrive

    P305S8822 Boot Option Menu did not show item for starting with USB flash drive.  THere was an option for a usb external hard drive but that device was not connected while starting the computer.  The usb FLASH DRIVE was connected.  Does Satellit Laptop P305-S8822 have or supposed to have a boot option  choice available for usb flash drive?

    I don't believe computers of that vintage could boot from a USB connection. (But you have FireWire and modem ports.)

  • Satellite P305 - DVD drive missing, Registry method attempted

    My satellite P305 lost the DVD icon in the My Computer.
    So I tried to fix it using the "Registry-Method" I've seen all over the forums, but it did not work as I only found a "lower" I think not sure the name But not the "higher" second registry value. So now I can't use my PC's DVD and I hope I can just reinstall the driver, even though I doubt it.
    The computer troubleshooter said that the problem is that the registry file was corrupted or missing (before I attempted to fix it). I had been using a burner and burning a DVD that took a long time to end the 99% level, so I clicked to close the program thinking that the information was already encoded on the DVD and there is nothing left for the program to do but shutdown, but it didn't work and the program stayed frozen. The program I used was called Cheetah Burner, in case you are interested in knowing it. So I ejected the disc (maybe after control-alt-deleting it, not sure) and probably restarted the computer again, to see that the program had occurred.
    So please tell me how to deal with this, fast. I need to solve this fast to continue working!!!
    Thank you
    Ash.

    Hi Ash,
    I think you mean the upper and lower filters in registry. Is that right?
    Normally this should help regarding problems with CD/DVD drive but you have already tried this?!
    In your case I would try to remove the CD/DVD drive from device manager (right click > uninstall). After restart the drive will be recognized again and maybe it works.
    Furthermore you dont need another driver because its a part of OS. This driver cant be updated.
    Another interesting thin: Can you boot from a disk?

  • Satellite P305-s8842: How do the 2 HDDs work together?

    I have the Satellite P305-s8842, it comes with dual 200 gig HDD's.
    I was wondering how they work together. The main one is almost full; when it fills all the way up will it automatically start filling the second HDD?
    Right now there are only two files on the second one they are a temp folder and a msdia80.dll file.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thanks for the reply

    Anyway, I don't really understand how it's supposed to be used. Please don't flame, I am pretty proficient with computers but this is the first one that I've had that has two hdd's. Just trying to understand how they work together. Thanks.

  • Transferring old videos to DVD with Satellite M70

    Is it feasible to connect a video recorder to a Satellite M70 in order to transfer video tape recordings to DVD? If it is, what cable do I need?

    Hi there,
    since your notebook is only equipped with an TV-OUT, you cannot just connect a video recorder to your machine, because to do this you will need an Video-IN.
    The only chance you have is to purchase a external video grabber for PCMCIA or USB.
    With such Video Grabber youre able to receive external video signals and to record/edit them.
    Heres a link which shows you an example what I mean:

  • Satellite P305-S8909 - why the site doesn't have information about it?

    Hello
    Guys, I'd like to know if someone got this model: P305-S8909
    Does it really run warm as I saw in some reviews?
    Also, is a notebook worth getting?
    Is the keyboard good?
    Why can't I find this model anymore in some websites? Did it get discontinued?
    Also, this model has LED LCD?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    A friend of me has the Satellite P300 that is very similar to the Satellite P305. He is very satisfied with this notebook and dont have any problems with it. The notebook isnt getting more hot as other notebooks the keyboard with extra numpad is very useful.
    Normally you can find all informations about this notebook on the Toshiba US page:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com
    But as the other users said I would wait for the P500. I have a little bit searched with Google and its a very interesting and nice notebook. ;)

  • Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after clean install of Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I have loaded the Toshiba value added driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or the FN key to work.
    Any ideas?

    Hello John
    You are like other millions other users and what you can read is relevant for you but sometimes it works a little bit different. For you it can be useless but sometimes it helps. Fact is that this utility is offered for some notebook models.
    Generally speaking you are right and after VAP installation the job should be done but Ive faced the same problem in the past. Sometimes it works well and sometimes not. You will not believe me but in the past I used stuff for Satellite P300 to get all stuff working on Satellite A350. I cannot explain why this happen and it sounds crazy but it is the truth.
    You can also try to play a little bit with VAP installation. Try to install VAP for A300/A350/P300. Generally speaking it is the same and if this will not work well you can remove it from the system.

  • Checking system connected to SOLMAN or Not from Satellite system

    Hi ,
              How to check system connected to SOLMAN or Not from Satellite system.
    thanks in advance..
    Rgds,
    BBR.

    All connections via SM and satellite system are view RFCs.
    In SM, you will have 3-4 RFCs trusted/read/ etc pointing to satellite sm.
    in satellite, you will have one RFC to SM called back RFC generally with name - Solution Manager created during SMSY configuration in SM.
    Do a test for Connection/Authorization etc for all the RFC's which if fine then the connection is good..
    Regards,
    SS.

  • Satellite P305 S8842 Problem

    Two Separate Problems, Same computer
    I've had my laptop for about 2 full years now and it has started to develop a strange problem. Sometimes when I turn it on and it begins to boot up it will suddenly turn off in the middle of booting up. In order for me to be able to use my computer I will have to wait for a while until it is able to boot again. It seems that the longer I wait to turn it back on, the farther it gets in the boot process before it turns off once again. Or if I start a program like a DVD or something the fan will run really loudly and then the computer cuts off once again. Im inclined to think its not an overheating problem because the computer is not hot whatsoever to the touch although I can hear the fan working somewhat loudly. I tried to start in safemode and it gets all the way to where its about to ask you for your password and it turns off right there every time now.
    Another thing, a couple of times when Im on my laptop the screen suddenly changed to a weird/static looking screen with a bunch of different colors on it and flicker to different variations until I finally cut the computer off and restart the vicious circle.
    My current situation is my laptop just last night got a nasty piece of malware which is pretty simple to get rid of if I could only get to safe mode.
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

  • How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my bush LCD32TV022HD which does not have an HDMI port but does have 1)S-Video I/P, 2)Video I/P, 3) L

    How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my BUSH LCD32TV022HD
    This does not have an HDMI port but does have:-
    1) S-Video I/P,
    2) Video I/P,
    3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
    4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
    5) DVI input
    6) VGA input

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • Can not connect outside of Lan to with rtsp PVC2300

    I have the following cameras set up at my office
    1 - PVC2300
    2 - WVC54GC
    3 - AXIS 225FD
    I have a BEFSR81 Router
    I have a computer on Windows XP running the surv software to record.  Everything with that is good.
    I also have 2 desktops.
    I have been playing around with the rtsp feed with the pvc2300, but have run into a few problems.
    1(a).  I can not connect outside of the LAN with RTSP with either the VLC player or quicktime.  It connects and asks for a password and then just hangs.
    The PVC 2300 local address is 192.168.1.102 with ports 554, 5000-5010, and 6970-6999 forwarded on the router.  What am I missing?
    1(b) I can successfully connect with my blackberry bold, although when I try to change the default port (554) to something else (I would like to RTSP my the AXIS camera as well,  so I will need a different port) it connects on my bold, but then says server is unresponsive. What am I missing here?
    2.  The voice with the PVC 2300  using http outside of the LAN (internet) lags quite baddly and is choppy.  This happens without fail when I have all 4 cameras running, which I understand is upload bandwidth problem.  But it also happens when I connect to just the PVC2300.  I do have a connection to all 4 cameras inside the LAN to the XP running the surv software, but that is it. Is the my router acting buggy?  I have unplugged the router for 5 sec, and it fixed it for a while, but it always comes back.  I have donwloaded the latest firmware for the router and PVC 2300 and that didnt seem ot fix it either.  Suggestions?
    3.  This is more of a question.  I know the mobile streaming of the PVC 2300 does not include voice.  Is there an app or way that I can just get it to my Blackberry.  Even if I didnt get the video, voice is sometimes more important to me.
    I hope Ive been clear enough in my description, Im very self taught (google is amazing), but I am in no way a techy.
    Thank you in advace for your help.
    Colin

    Glad to hear you are successfully using the SWVMS16. That program is really cool and useful. I just cant tell you how that model of Linksys Router can work for you here (that is not a model we support on this community as its not small business)
    Regarding RTSP access, are you also including the mobile.sdp in the URL?
    RTSP:///mobile.sdp   I noticed in the camera GUI with the newer firmware, you can specify an access code under mobile settings after checking the enable mobile streaming box.  That word may be what you have to include, so check that too...
    Try this locally first and then remotely is the easiest way to see if you got it right, then it just becomes a routing or firewall issue to figure out.
    But your forwarded ports look right and should be opened.
    Under advanced settings, you can define an alternate HTTP, HTTPS or RTSP port

    Use the Remote Desktop icon on the tray and make sure to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on the 'name of server' field.  If that does not work then use the IP address to connect.
