I'm having some issues with my Satellite A660-134
Hello!
I'm kinda' having some problems with my notebook as mentioned earlier a Toshiba Satellite A660-134. Fyi this is the second one, I returned one (no matter what guarantee). I wanted another one, but still this model because, its ok, it does its job, except some things that unfortunately I can`t oversee. The first one and also the second one did the following:
# Time to time , no reason what so ever, no overusing, multitasking, without forcing it in any way, gave bluescreen crashed, out of the blue. Just like that. While watching a movie, browsing, just leaving it open, and I was finding it restarted. With this second one after installing the antivirus i thought it stopped. But instead of 3-4 bluescreens a day i have lets say 1-2 a week, but pretty upseting also.
# Also whithou being overheated, multitasked, or any thing that would require even a litle bit of effort to say so, while I`m watching a movie for example it kind of stucks, freezes, stumbles.. for examble like when its moved a bit sudden and the hdd protector thing moves the hdd head reader..or like when with an older pc you would listen to music and then when you, lets say extract something, it starts interrupting.
Mainly these are my concerns and any piece of advice is welcome. For furter information, ask me. Thank you!
Kind regards, Dorinel Tanase
It is not easy to offer exact explanation for your problems, especially for blue screens. They can be caused by some software conflict or even by some hardware malfunction.
Sorry but it is not easy to say why this happen.
Can you notice error code and send it to us?
Try to disable HDD protection utility and be sure HDD scan is not running in the background. Such activities can be reason for such interrupts.

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I am having some issues with email. My iphone shows 4 emails as unread yet when I look thru all my emails, both on my iPhone5 and my outlook there are no unread emails. How do I clear this up on my phone?
Email does not and has never synced between the iPhone and the computer. It sounds like you may have had your PC set up to use POP3 for e-mail, which will download e-mail from the server and delete it, causing it to vanish from your phone if the phone was set up for IMAP. IMAP provides full synchronization between the server and clients. What you delete on one will vanish from the others. This is the preferred method of managing e-mail as it prevents e-mail from being downloaded, for example, on a PC and making it inaccessible on your phone.

We have been having some issues with Email Notifications not going out and getting hung up in SOST. Can anyone please tell me whether we can use SAP Solution Manager to monitor outbound email?
What version of Solman are you using ? Check in t-code Rz20 >ccms monitor template of satelliate system , there would be option to monitor your outbound mails .You can sutomise your monitorig metrics in solman 7.1 else in 7.01 you use auto reaction methods to monitor .

New To Nokia And Having Some issues With N79
Hi
I have bought a Nokia for the first time ever and fancied a change from Sony Ericsson due to software issues, however i have been experiencing a few issues with my N79.
When listening to Music in the Music Player and change track, the phone will crash and keep restart it's self, so i tried searching online for the issue and didn't find much help, so i tried doing a Soft Reset wich didn't work.
I then tried a Hard Reset and have noticed some icons are missing and the preinstalled Wallpapers, Ringtones and Videos have been deleted.
I then downloaded and installed Nokia Software Updater and tried re-installing the phones software (wich is 11.049.53.1) thinking i would get back the Wallpapers, Ringtones and Videos ect but that didn't work...
And now the phone has developed another bug... Whenever i use the GPS it asks to go online and i click yes, the phone will just crash and restart and i have to take the battery out to get it to go off.
So far i am NOT very happy with the phone concidering the price i payed for it and having more software issues to deal with...
Any help would be appreciated...Which map do you mean ??? And will it restore all the preinstalled content ???
Ive only had this phone a week after paying nearly £300 and im having trouble with it already...

I have been having a lot of issues with my iPod touch. Whatever I purchase on my iPod I can't seem to transfer it to my iTunes library. If something should happen to my iPod, I wouldn't want to lose all of the music I have purchased. I can't upgrade it either because a box pops up that says everything will be erased from my iPod... I need help!
Might be an authorization issue in iTunes. Try deauthorizing your computer through the Store menu at the top of iTunes and then authorizing it again. Once that is done try transferring purchases from the iPod Touch.

I'm having some issues with Edit in Audition
This past week my friends and I shot my friend's final film project. We recorded external audio at 192000 Hz, 12288kbps, 32-bit float. I synced up all the audio and sent the project to my friend. When he used Edit in Audition so that he can mix and clean up the audio, it had been exported at 8000 Hz, 512kbp, 32-bit float and everything sounds muffled. I'm more familier with Premiere then he is, so I tried, and I had the same results.
I know Audition can import and export that kind of audio so I'm assume it's a problem on the Premiere end. Is there any settings that I'm missing or is it impossible for Premiere to extract at that quality? Even if it's the latter, is there a way it can be set to extract at higher than 8000 Hz at 512kbps?From what I can tell, it's a problem with Premiere exporting, not Audition importing though. I have the 192000 Hz, 32 bit files working just fine in the Premiere timeline so it doesn't appear to have to much of an issue with editing it, it just exports it at a much lower quality when sending it to Audition
It seems like the only way I can keep that audio quality is to sync sound in Audition and that's not ideal for me. -
I have to unplug my time capsule and reboot it. Is there a diagnostic routine I can run or any error detection I can look for?
You are absolutely right.. when apple changed significant features in Lion and Mountain Lion .. they introduced a bunch of issues into networking which are bugs to this day..unacknowledged.. and without much that will fix them.. other than your reboot strategy.. which is like.. well that other OS.. where continual reboots are considered normal.
Old TC may also just suffer from age.. we continually tell people they have a lifespan.. 3years is the reliable span.. after that expect anything.. sudden death.. slow decline.. continual hassles and problems. If the backups are important to you.. then it is telling you in a very clear way.. replace me.. I am no longer happily providing services promised.
Now to specifics.. we don't know what the problem is.. if we knew we could give some work around.
The problem is odd in that it doesn't affect everyone.. if it starts .. people find it starts several months in to ownership.. it is never cured.. or even curable.. something like DNS or ARP table is being lost.. but it is not either of those things.
Is there a diagnostic routine I can run or any error detection I can look for?
Nothing much shows up anywhere. Including the TC log or local logs. It simply has lost the TC disk but not internet.
So.
Some things do help.
I don't know if you have pondini's resources.. TM is a complex piece of software.. it has multiple issues.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Look at A1 .. load the widget.
A5 .. verify the backup.
A4 .. reset TM.
All of those things can help.. look at some of the typical problems.. C12 and C17 being the most common since Lion.. and exacerbated in Mountain Lion.. not fixed.
Some suggestions.
1. Keep names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. See C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
2. Do not use 7.6.3 firmware... go back to 7.6.1 or even better 7.5.2 on an old one.
Firmware downgrade is easy in new utility. Hold down the option key whilst selecting version.
3. I recommend a very short dhcp lease time.. 20min for example. In whatever device is the router .. that can help keep things up to date.. and use dhcp reservation again to see if the address info helps to keep things updated.
4. Do turn on ipv6 local link.. which you need to anyway with 6.3 utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
5. If you are using a desktop.. an external drive is faster.. more reliable and easier than TC for Time Machine backups..
6. Consider using CCC or another backup software.. if you want to continue to use network drive.
7. Although using 6.3 airport utility has some advantages.. it is also devoid of a lot of tools that are in v5.6 airport utility.. well worth loading into at least one computer on the network.. if you only have Mountain Lion now here is one method.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

Brand new to Mac and having some issues with my MBP mid 2012
I am hoping someone can offer some advice to me, I am about ready to tear my hair out. I bought a mid 2012 MBP from best buy open box for $2000, it is the model with the 750gig hard drive and 8 gigs of ram. I has Mountain Lion on it and I have done all the software upgrades. I do not have a lot of software installed on it but it does not seem to be running right. I have had it about three weeks or a month and it appeared to be running okay most of the time.
I tried putting parallels 8 on it so I could run some of my windows apps and I installed windows 8 and nothing else and it brought the laptop to a stand still it was crawling so slow I unistalled the software. The past few days I have noticed that when I open the lid and it wakes from sleep the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for upto a minute.
However today has been the worse by far. I am trying to copy some files about 300 gigs worth from a external drive to my hard drive so I can reformat the drive and while it is copying I am not able to do anything, surf the web, use word or anything because anything I try to do locks the computer up for several minutes or I have to force quit. The voice dictation feature no longer works when I press fn twice, nothing happens at all.
Is this normal, I mean I am very disappointed that a $2000 computer cant copy some files and surf the internet or type a word doc at the same time. Do I have a bad mac or am I expecting to much????? I am a therapist and use this laptop to take and store all my client notes I bought a mac because I need something dependable and reliable.
If this is not normal what do you suggest?That would be your best bet. There is a reason someone returned it. Most people that buy a Mac, except me, never return them. Even if they don't run right. So for someone to return that unit they either didn't care for Mac OS X (that is why I return the first 2 I had) or there was something very wrong with it.

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!Links should not create any problems in Keynote. If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
4
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
5
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
6
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
7
install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped -

I understand why it does not work due to compatability issues. Is there a work around?
First, can you clarify what OS versions you are talking about? OSX.8 is meaningless.
OS X versions are of the form 10.x.x.
Leopard = 10.5 to 10.5.8
Snow Leopard = 10.6 to 10.6.8
Lion = 10.7 to 10.7.4 (so far)
Mountain Lion = 10.8 (has not yet been released)
In general, you can't use migration or setup assistant to recover data from a later OS version.
I wouldn't see much problem doing it the hard way, though - just using file sharing or even target disk mode to transfer user data.
There may be problems with some files saved in some applications on Lion having compatibility issues with earlier versions of those applications.
I'm sure a Lion user can enlighten us further. -
Issues with Toshiba Satellites and Western Digital WDC HDDs
As much as I want to thank Jerry Lippey for helping me several times with issues regarding my boyfriend's A665-S6095 laptop, I am DONE with Toshiba.
For the FOURTH or FIFTH time now (it's so bad I've lost count) this satellite has crashed while using a WDC Scorpio Black HDD. I have gone through FOUR HHDs in the last year and a half. I am not joking. NO ONE has time to diagnose and solve this many computer issues in such a short amount of time unless they are a paid techinician.
The last time the HDD failed I tried to get WDC to send me the non-AFT drive that I had bought, but they told me that the BEKT version of the BPKT I bought was "not in stock". For almost a month. And yet it came back in stock on Amazon and one or two other stores online. So when I called back to say WHAT THE HELL, instead of asking me what I wanted them to do, they just decided to send me a larger drive with AFT, as if that would soothe my aggravation.
But honestly, I don't see how this can all be WDC's fault. I mean, if you compare the number of forum posts referencing satellite versus non-satellite models, there is no way that number is proportionally equal to the number of satellite versus non-satellite models sold. I wish I had known how terrible Toshiba is before he bought the laptop, or my mother bought my brother a different satellite model. I'd have told each to shoot themselves in the foot instead.
My boyfriend was trying to copy pictures from his Galaxy Note II onto his laptop, but when he plugged the phone in by a usb/micro usb cord and opened windows explorer, the computer froze.
I shut it down manually, and since then it has not been able to boot at all. BIOS recognizes the drive make and model, but nothing will load; the screen goes black after the Toshiba welcome screen and nothing happens. I tried booting from both a win7 recovery disc and the 1st Toshiba recovery disc I made with the laptop; the former won't load at all and the latter goes through the "windows is loading files" progress bar, then the "microsoft windows" progress bar, brings up the cursor and stops doing anything. I can move the mouse, but the light on the HDD indicator illuminates for about 5 seconds then shuts off for less than a second, over and over. For a fraction of a second I can see an error code reading something like "No Emulation Type 00" before the recovery cd loads. I don't know what that means exactly.
If I hadn't had previous issues with Toshiba TVAP software having compatibility issues with Windows, or if the laptop would freeze part way through installing windows updates I wouldn't have trouble blaming only WDC. But clearly Toshiba has major issues (at least) with Satellites, and except for the one person on this forum who knows what he is talking about - and let's be serious, we can't blame him for not being able to answer EVERYTHING posted on here - their tech support $^(($ B@!!$. Just like their products.
The fact that the only answer I've found is to only replace Toshiba HDDs with OEM HDDs is complete bull.
Sure, it is possible that the way the laptop is used causes some of the issues I've had, but FOUR HDDs? Really? What else in a laptop can go bad that could possibly help to kill off the drive? What else could possibly contribute to the agony I have to go through to keep this laptop running?
Time to go back to work, now that I've spent over an hour trouble-shooting and writing this rant.Hi I'm fairly new to the forum. I'm sure Jerry will have a reply for you. 4 failed HD's is unreal. I 'm sure you know why HD's fail. I know you are very aggravated, but I would just like to ask a couple of questions. How are you testing these failed HD's. Seatools has two great free programs seatools for windows and seatools dos. Also I'm very curious about your Anti-Virus program. Viruses are really getting tough, and can wipe out your HD in seconds. If your OS gets corrupted, windows will no longer boot. I'm going to post some things that I'm sure you already know. I also would like to know how your boy friend uses his lap top. I live in a retirement village and I fix computers for free. I have see some really bad stuff. I have had to restore a couple back to factory because they were so badly infected. Power surges can really do a number on a HD. I'm going to post the link to a bootable seatools dos. It will be a ISP file and you will need to burn it to a cd. Test your drive and see what happens. I'm sure Jerry will have a comment for you. He's pretty smart.

Why do hard disks fail?
Because hard disks are mechanical devices, they are subject to wearing out, even if you treat them better than your own children. Around 60% of hard drive failures occur through predictable mechanical failure, with the remaining 40% of failures occurring through misuse. Hard disk failure might occur if any of the following happens:
Your computer is bumped or jostled while it is running;
The electric motor which allows the platter to spin fails due to bad bearings or other components;
The filter on your air intake gets too clogged or the filter isn't working properly;
Extreme heat while running causes the electronic circuit board to fail;
There is a sudden power failure while the disk is writing.
Types of hard drive failure
There are two main types of hard drive failure - physical and logical.
Physical failures are often due to a failure of the electric motor or the drive itself - the moving parts. They can also happen because of a major head crash (caused by your computer being dropped or jostled while it's running).
Logical failures come from corruption in the file system. If you've accidentally deleted an important registry entry or formatted the drive improperly, or if you have a nasty virus, hard drive problems will occur. The BIOS will recognize the drive, but it won't boot.

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. will upgrade fix???
Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file. Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document. NOT GOOD!!! Just saw that ADOBE has an update for InDesign. WILL THIS FIX THE PROBLEM??Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failures (power surges)
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:
http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/
Hopefully this helps you.
