Is there any way to override the Toshiba Power Management with the Windows Power Management???

Have an older P25-S607 and would prefer more control over the power management.....that I can get with Windows....any suggestions?

Thanks for the obvious reminder   That was a duh moment.  It's easy to forget the simple sometimes when you get involved in troubleshooting when it's not something you do on a daily basis that's for sure.  The Toshiba controls have been fine for the life of the Toshiba laptops we have had, but I always felt they were a little limited on options IMHO. 
In this instance I needed to utilize some of the added XP options as this laptop actually had the hinge 'sprung' a little and didn't "shut down" or hibernate when you closed the lid.....changed hubby's "normal procedure" for utilizing this "shop laptop" so he didn't overheat and fry the hard drive which is what I believe happened originally to the system that had been working fine until the hard drive was fried.  Changed it out, reloaded everything for him only to have the system need to be reformatted again within a week as windows took over.  As I was investigating causes I realized the malfunction.  Not sure of the how or why, but now have automated shut down backups if he forgets to shut down when he shuts the lid and walks away.   So far so good

  • Is there any way Apple could trace my lost ipod with the help of its serial number ?

    unfortunately my ipod might have been stolen, there has to be a way apple can trace it with its serial number rite? all products have a unique serial number cant there be a way to trace where it might be under use, what IP address it was last connected to? Ive installed find my ipod/iphone app and activated the application BUT after updating i realized that the settings for it have changed and you have to reactivate the find my ipod option from the icloud setting or something which is SAD! come on apple can obviously help out on this ! or atleast put up a portal for users to trace their product if such a situation arises. I might not be a computer wizard but im sure there can be a way to trace it with its unique serial code.
    I hope apple can do something here!

    There is no way to trace your iPod by serial number. Only via the Find My iPod service can an iPod be located, and if you didn't reactivate it, or the finder/thief deactivated the service (or the iPod is off or not connected to WiFi), then tracing your iPod is impossible. Contact the police, if you haven't already done so, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).

  • Is there any way to delete duplicate files en mas within the new itunes program?

    I've just installed the new itunes program on my laptop. I used the scan for media option to find music. Problem is almost every entry and there's several hundred of them is duplicated and in some cases triplicated within the itunes media library.
    Question ... Is there any way to delete duplicated files en mas withing the itunes library folder?
    Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to do it individually as that may take days.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

    I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

    If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
    For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore?  iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.

  • After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

    After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

    if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait.  if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses.  as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether  (unless you use them again).  Have patience, it will go away.
    Or do the update....

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
    The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
    I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

  • I have an iPad 3 or the new iPad with the normal charger.. my iPad is not starting is there any way to format it? if not will the apple guys be able to access my data?

    I have an iPad 3 or the new iPad with the normal charger.. my iPad is not starting is there any way to format it? if not will the apple guys be able to access my data?

    Honestly, I don't think that they have any other way of accessing anything on the iPad than any other user has. The Apple Store genius will just put the device through the standard troubleshooting steps - in your case probably try to restore the device to factory settings and if that doesn't work, then they will make some sort of offer for a replacement assuming that your iPad is still under warranty.
    If I'm not mistaken they will probably erase the device in order to try to "fix" it. That's what restoring to factory settings does. I assumed that you were concerned about losing data - but if you are concerned that they are going to see something that you don't want them to see or access, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

    No, you have to sell yours and buy the new iPhone 5 with the proceeds.
    Please do not double post. Asking many times does not change the answer.

    Drag the folders to the external drive, and if prompted, click Authenticate. You'll probably be asked for an administrator password.

    Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
    SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
    '''''Address Bar Search'''''
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
    Does that work?
    '''''Search Box'''''
    Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
    Do either of those work?
    There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

  • Is there any way to send more then 1 parameter to the listener function?

    Hi guys, so is there any way to send more then 1 parameter to the listener function?

    Hi,
    sure.
    The first variant is to add many parameters to event.
    The second variant is to extend calling callback functions.
    For example,
    public function addCallBack(eventName:String, callBack:Function = null, ... rest):void
         // save callBack function and event type and other args (rest)
         addEventListener(eventName, myHandler);
    private function myHandler(event:Event):void
         // get function and args by eventName
         fnc.apply(null, [event, args]);
