How can I boot to USB device if no USB boot option in BIOS

I just purchased a Toshiba NB305-N410BL but am concerned as to how I would image the 250GB HDD if I can not boot from an external cdrom drive. I tried to backup to shared network folder but none show up on list. Only boot options in BIOS are HDD, FDD, and LAN. Thanks for all help in advance.

Hi, buddy-erp.
I don't know if my instructions apply to you because I only have the NB305 model. However, if you say you have followed all instructions, that is, 1) insured that no other USB devices are connected to your computer at bootup time and 2) have pressed F12 to enter the boot menu; 3) and then designated the USB flash drive as the source of the bootable restoration software you may need Toshiba technical support. I wonder if there is a BIOS update for your computer too. This may need to be downloaded and installed prior to beginning the restoration process. Nevertheless, as stated, I have a NB305 model and the instructions are clear. FYI (for your information), a virus infected my system and made certain changes to this process. Toshiba technical support informed me that the information displayed was wrong and the process outlined was unnecessary but did require technical support to restore it to the OEM default options.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Bi-Ill
Good luck!

How can I move IR receiver & iSight from one USB to port to another

I have the latest 15" MBP, with two HS USB 2.0 ports.
I need to have an open (nothing else on it) HS USB 2.0 port for a special application.
How can I get my MBP to allow changing USB devices (IR Receiver & iSight) locations?

Thanks.
At the Apple Store, the Genius said it was software.
Said they couldn't/wouldn't do it, but gave me the contact info of a trusted local Apple Consultant.
We'll see!

I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

How can I remove a tablet device that isn't there?

In one of our test environments we've got an Xserve running OSX 10.5.6, inside is running Server 10.5 in VMWare Fusion.
Now, the VM thinks it has a tablet device installed, as is evidenced by the ink tab showing up in system preferences (the host does not have the ink option there). Obviously there is no tablet device installed. The VM was set up by one of our IT guys who has already reinstalled it, noting no options during setup about a tablet device.
This problem is causing one piece of software to not work in the VM, or at least, the UI doesn't. There are thousands of console messages reading "QCocoaView handleTabletEvent: This tablet device is unknown (received no proximity event for it). Discarding event"
Question is, how can I remove the tablet device so that this software will start working? I've checked all through VMWare Fusion's options/preferences & couldn't find anything there and Googling has turned up nothing so far.

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

How can i remove all my devices added to my Apple ID?

How can i reset the added devices to my Apple ID, dearthursize all of my devices connected to my Apple ID? without having access to the devices, i think its my old computers that i dont have anymore. Just got a new computer, and i authersize it, because it says maximum (5) have been reached.
Thanks, Kasper.

The devices linked to your Apple ID have absolutely nothing to do with the 5 computer limit that is causing the issue.
Devices like iPhones, iPads, iPods do not count towards the 5 computer limit.
Simply deauthorize the computers that you no longer use or if you no longer have access to them, deauthorize all and authorize only the computers you have that actually need access to the content.

Not sure what your post's title means, but you can only add a device to your iCloud account directly on the device e.g. log into the account in Settings > iCloud

That only happens when you are running Windows in a Virtual Machine with OS X as the host. Shut down the VM and restart your Mac. Once the VM is running again and you insert a USB flash drive you should get that prompt again.

How can i write to ntfs device

how can i write to ntfs device from mac

By default, OS X (and near all operating systems different than Windows) can't write in NTFS drives because of a Microsoft limitation.
To be able to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party application. There are a lot, but the most recommended is Paragon NTFS, although it's a paid application. If you want a free app, try this > http://osxfuse.github.com

TS4006 How can I turn on my device so I can locate my stolen I Phone??? And if not; how can I pettition APPLE that there is a defect in "Find My I Phone". If its stolen do I need device to be on in order to find????

How can I turn on my device remotely so I can locate my stolen I Phone???
And if there is a way but I just don't know then educate me please!!!!
And if not then how can I petition APPLE that there is a defect in "Find My I Phone".
If its stolen I should not need device to be on in order to find unless I can turn on remotely!!!!
Also another defect is that if the device is locked with a code then it should be really locked......
Why is it that you can still use buttons??????........
You should not be able to turn off unless you have the code!!!!!!
And with that defect corrected imagine how safe it would make the consumers if everyone knew that if a phone was locked, it was really locked!!!
Everyone would be able to find their phones and nobody could stop them from them finding their phones!!!!!
PROBLEMS SOLVED!!!!!! NOBODY'S I PHONE WOULD EVER BE STOLEN!!!!!!
Does anyone know can you turn on remotely??????

You cannot turn it on remotely. Griping and complaining won't make it any better.

How can get emails on all devices?

How can get emails on all devices? When I read an email on my mac, my iphone doesn't download it. How can I change that setting?? I need to have all emails and all my devices!

It sounds like your using a POP3 email account versus IMAP. With a POP3 account if you do not have the settings configured to leave email on the server the problem you describe will occur. With Outlook 2010 (on a PC for example) you can go into the account settings and configure to leave email on the server. That way both devices will see the email. Check help for your Mac email program for instructions...
http://www.serverintellect.com/support/email/outlook-leave-on-server/
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the Mac as illustrated in the link above or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples).
Also see this for the iPad...

FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.
