Have you checked users manuals document? There is described how it works.
No. I just want to erase everything from hdd... Zerofile(fill the hdd only with 0)... start over again... or at least to format it... not to set it to factory settings because this is nothing... if you want to recover old data I think that you can do it even after you reset it to factory settings.

Changing LCD screen for Qosmio X870

Hello everyone !
Since 3 weeks, i've got several black dead pixels on the upper left hand corner of my screen as you can see on the picture :
http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/312977IMG20150221110903.jpg
i want to change the screen.
My native resolution is WXGA 1600*900 px but i'd like to upgrade to 1920*1080 !
I just want to know if my hardware is able to handle the new resolution.
As it is my choise is on this screen :

You can read it is for Toshiba X875 not X870, but is it a problem ?
Thank you for your answers !

Hi it seems like different models have different resolutions but the x870 seems to have the 1900x1080?
in my experience from changing screens as long as the screen connection is the same the only factor of it not being compatible is the inverter, but as these screens are is various models i would say they are all interchangable . hardware wise you can go up and above 1900x1080 with what you have! a fast single core with intel tortoise gpu can do 1900x1080 if the screen whould let it .

How to disable Shared Video Memory on Qosmio X870?

Hi,
I find that when I use certain software packages (mainly CAD) then my video ram remains untouched. I cant seem to disable the shared system memory - which I believe is part of Nvidia Turbocache.
Some websites and forums say that one can disable this in the BIOS is the manufacturer has released a BIOS drivers which would allow this - this does not seem to be the case at Toshiba.
Is there another way I would be able to disable this setting. This Toshiba Qosmio x870 was purchased as we needed a notebook with a high end (class 1) graphics card. Unfortunately it seems to be under performing.
I have tried to set all setting in the Nvidia control panel to Max Performace but I am still not getting the software (Micromine) to run properly.
I would appreciated any suggestions or support from this form.
Kind Regards,
Jrgen

Yea I know what you mean. Toshiba support for these kind of issues seems non existent. I think this kind of problem can also be attributed to the way Nvidea optimus tech runs on laptops. It controls which graphics chip is being used i.e between on board and dedicated and has been know to cause issues in some programs - maybe something to look into?
Sorry you can't fix it :( I'm no guru and I'm out of ideas unfortunately....
Good luck!

Qosmio X870-116: usage of Intel / nVidia GPU on internal / external display

Hello,
I have a Qosmio X870-116 which have 2 video cards, a Intel on board and a Nvidia more powerfull.
My probleme, I don't how I switch my display on the Intel card and I see my Nvidia only for the external display.
Some one have an idea to switch on the nvidia card to my first display?
Thanks

Hi
Something like that isnt possible.
You cannot use two graphic cards simultaneously for internal and external display.
First of all you can switch between external and internal display using the function key Fn + F4 (or just F4)
Secondly the nVidia Optimus technology optimize notebook performance by seamlessly switching between a nVidia GPU and Intel internal graphic card.
The switching is automatic and does not require any notebooks reboot.

Qosmio X870/016: Win 8.1 - DVD player 3D option greyed out

I have Qosmio PSPLZA-016003 with Win 8.1
When new I could play 3D Blu-ray disks in 3D no problem on Win 8
I upgraded to Win 8.1 but did not check 3D DVDs worked.
After Toshiba Service updated Blu-ray player I could not play 3D disks in 3D - they appeared as 2D with the 3D icon greyed out. The Blu-ray player service update was to 1.0.5.175
I have:
1. Updated BIOS to 6.3 from support site.
2. Removed player and reinstalled from my c: drive
... program files/PINS/COMPS1/Toshiba blu-ray Disc Player-V1.0.5.48
3. Installed V1.0.5.175_A from support site (this shows in 'About Player' as V1.0.5.175)
I still have problem that 3D DVDs show as 2D and 3D icon greyed out in player window.
I assume the combination of Win8.1, Bios 6.3 and DVD Player V1.0.5.175_A should work - any suggestions?

Hi
I assume you did something wrong during the update from Win 8 to Win 8.1
Here on this Toshiba page (responsible for Australian notebook series) you can find information how to upgrade the units from Win 8 to Win 8.1

Qosmio X870 - Graphic Card upgrade

Hello
I'm here to ask if is possible upgrade the graphic card of a Toshiba Qosmio x870 (13K model). I use it mostly for work (3D Work) when I'm out of office. When I had decided to disassemble it to clean all dust and changing thermal paste to reduce the heating - successfully, btw - I had notice that nVidia graphic card (gtx 650M) was pluged into a *MXM 3.0 type B* slot.
So I thought: "Is it possible to upgrade?!". I'm very interested to upgrade for a 770M or 870M, with more dedicated memory, of course. I had noticed the size, the format and also the poscion of the "slot screws" are the same relatively to newer cards.
Thanks.

Hi
Mobile machines are not upgradable like desktops. GPU upgrade is definitely not supported and Im 99,9% sure it cannot be done.
Due to specific design and limited cooling possibilities such upgrade cannot be done.
Some basic info about CPU or GPU you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

How to format new hard drive for Apple TV when you can't use old HD

I need to know how to format a new HD to install in my Apple TV where I can't use the old HD to clone or otherwise create the new structure on the new HD.
I have an Apple TV that was syncing to a Mac Mini that had a defective HD and logic board. I was unable to backup the Apple TV to the Mac Mini for some time before I had the mini repaired by AppleCare.
When the mini came back, it registered on the Apple TV as a new computer and I couldn't sync with it without losing hundreds of dollars of content.
All was okay until the other night when Apple's defective update for the ATV erased ALL my content. I updated it to 3.1 this morning, which Apple indicated might fix the problem. It didn't. The old content is all gone.
My ATV is out of warranty, so I removed the old HD and copied the files from the "Purchased" folder to my mini. That saved most 101 items that I purchased since 12/08 (but not all for some reason). I lost all content prior to 12/08 that I purchased, as well as some content since 12/08 that I purchased.
I need to keep the old HD untouched until I can purchase data recovery software. I'd like to just put a spare IDE HD in that I have into the ATV and just start over with what is in my Mac mini iTunes.
So, how does one do that? I'm not gifted with vast Unix knowledge or experience and I don't want to clone the old HD and risk losing more data if it writes to the HD for some reason.
Thanks.

Hi Atagahi,
Firstly, have you emailed Apple iTunes support indicating your issue? There have been instances in which Apple will allow re-downloading of all content you've purchased on the iTunes store.
Secondly, I highly recommend you get an external usb hard drive, attach it to your mini and use it as a Time Machine drive to keep your iTunes purchases safe. It's a fact of life that all hard disk drives will eventually fail. The Apple TV should never be used as any kind of permanent storage space; think of it as a 'temporary holding' zone. And as you've unfortunately already experienced, a glitch wiped out all content on the Apple TV.
As regards your original question, it seems like there have been folks who've done just that...taken the internal drive in the Apple TV out and attached it to a mac and copied files from the Apple TV hard drive. I have not had to do such, so I cannot offer any help here except for Linda's suggestion on googling the net for solutions.
Good luck and hope you get all your purchased content back Atagahi!

Can someone please tell me how to format a new disk to ZFS format?

I have a Sun v240 with Solaris 10 update 8 installed on a single 73GB harddisk. Everything is working fine. I just purchased a another identical harddisk online. I plugged the disk into my v240 and ran 'devfsadm' and solaris found the new disk. I want to add this disk to my existing ZFS pool as a mirror. However, this disk was originally formatted with a UFS file system. So when I run:
zpool attach rpool c1t0d0 c1t1d0I get:
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 contains a ufs filesystem.I understand the error message but I don't know how to format the disk to have a ZFS file system instead. Note that I am extremely new to Solaris, ZFS, and pretty much everything Sun - I bought this server on eBay so that I could learn more about it. It's been pretty fun so far but need some help here and there.
For some reason I can't find a single hit on Google telling me how to just simply format a disk to ZFS. Can I use the 'format' command? Maybe you don't "format" disks for ZFS? I have no idea. I might not have the right terminology. If so, apologies. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks a lot! =D

Yes, you were right. The partitions were totally different. Here is what I saw:

I also shutdown the server to the OpenBoot prompt and booted off of the new disk and it worked! Also, my bootup time to login has drastically decreased - I would say it's about half the time it was before I added the mirror disk. So I believe the server is properly reading from both disks simultaneously in order to get better bandwidth. Cool! :)

How to FORMAT a number field in Formula editor

Dear All,

If any one has any idea please help me out.
Thanks and regards.

Hi friends,
Thanks to all of you that you all have replied my question and given your answers.
Thanks to all of you specially Alpana Phapale, Wallie Chang, Poonam Thorat and Raghavendra Gadhamsetty, the answers given by you is the perfect one may be in different ways and only one can be used by me. But your answers were exactly correct.
Thanks to Asha Lund, your answers is also correct but the result as per my report should be in figures and not in words.
Whatever it may be but for repling thanks to you too.
Please be always with me, I am very new to Crystal Report and just learnt by my own as my Boss ordered me to do this and I have to make about 50 reports within 15 days. I think the day will start from today.
Well friends thanks a lot again for all your effort.

cfinsert tablename attribute, how to format for Oracle

I've been using <cfquery> successfully for a long time
to do table inserts, but now I'd like to use <cfinsert> for
the simple inserts. However, I'm getting error messages. A typical
<cfquery> against my Oracle database would look like:
<cfquery name="myQuery"
datasource="#application.DataSource#">
INSERT into abc.action_type_def (field1, field2, field3)
VALUES ('value1', value2'', value3'')
</cfquery>
I tried the following <cfinsert> but got the error
message that follows the tag:
<cfinsert datasource="#application.DataSource#"
tablename="ABC.ACTION_TYPE_DEF"
formfields="FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3">
ERROR:
Message: There are no columns found for the given table name
"PRFA.ACTION_TYPE_DEF".
Detail: This error may be caused by not specifying the table
name in the format that the database server expects. (For example.
Oracle Server table name must be upper case or the Server table
name must be qualified in the format of "schema.table_name". For
the SQL Server, the format is "databasename.username.tablename",
such as in customers.dbo.orders)
I've tried upper and lower case on the tablename attribute,
tried leaving the "abc." off, but I just can't seem to get it to
work. Any idea how to format this tag to go against an Oracle
database?
Thanks! Pam

Word of advice: I would stay away from using cfinsert and
cfupdate tags, unless you are prone to masochistic tendencies and
enjoy pain and suffering. These tags are notoriously bug-prone, and
cause more work than they save. Just my opinion, but I'm sure that
it is one shared by many on these forums.
Having said that, you might take a look at the attributes for
this tag, as you seem to have combined the schema (table owner)
with the table name, as in ABC.ACTION_TYPE_DEF, which should be
listed distinctly using separate attributes, namely tableOwner and
tableName respectively. Note: I don’t use these tags so this
“fix” is just based on reading the
LiveDocs
for this tag.
Since you have so much more control using cfquery, and you
said that you have been using it for quite some time, why switch to
using cfupdate/cfinsert? If you already know enough SQL to do an
insert or update , then you really don't need to use these tags.
You will thank me.

Fresh installed, unformatted drive - how to format

I just bought a SSD and it will arrive in a few days, but I still can't find a clear answer about how to format an unformatted drive. The only answer I can find is to use the installaion disk, I don't have that. I am running mountain lion and can make a flash drive boot, but I can't figure out how to boot from flash. I wanted to know if anyone knew if I can boot by using CMD + R on an unformatted drive to format it? Or anybody know a command that I can use to boot from flash drive?

The easiest way is to get yourself an enclosure for the drive. Here's one example:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=319523 3&CatId=2781
1. To begin temporarily install the ssd in the enclosure - it should just slide in. You now have an external ssd drive.
2. Connect it to your computer and use Disk Utility to format it as Mac OS Extended. (DU is in Applications / Utiities.)
3. Transfer whatever you want from the internal to the external using an app like Carbon Copy Cloner.
4. Check the external is bootable by looking at System Preferences / Startup disk.
5. Take the ssd out of the enclosure and install it in the Mac.
And you can put the original drive in the enclosure, as a bonus.

Clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on Qosmio X870

When I received my laptop (Qosmio x870) I immediately uninstalled its OS since it was filled with bloatware and installed a clean version of windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. After my install I have been trying to install the drivers on my laptop, but some don't seem to be working.
My VGA driver has installed, but the windows experience index for my graphics is 5.5 which is much lower than it should be (if memory serves right it was 7.4 before I uninstalled the original bloated O.S). However, the biggest problem I have come across is the Network driver. I have installed every single network driver on Toshiba's driver page for the qosmio x870, but none seem to work. For some reason the laptop thinks my wifi is turned off, which I know is not (unless there is a setting in bios which should be changed otherwise I really don't know).
I really need some help here guys, if someone can point me to the EXACT drivers I absolutely need it would mean the world to me. Toshiba should really have a bundle of essential drivers, like most other computer companies have, it makes everything so much easier for people who hate the bloated O.S that comes with their laptop.

How to format "My Passport" for Time Machine

I have purchased a 1TB Western Digital My Passport Drive (an external drive connected via USB). How should I format this drive to use it with Time Machine?
I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on an Intel iMac (hardware circa 2005). I have been using Time Machine for several years, rotating through external disks. Thie new disk will replace one of the previous disks which has failed. I have forgotten how I formatted the previous disks. I'm primarily interested in whther to use HFS or whatnot. As to partitioning, the format will just be one partition for the whole disk.
I'm going to see if I can figure this out using Disk Utility, but in the mean time, does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the WD Passport drive (entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
