Lights wont stay on the media center thing

i just got this computer its a toshiba satellite A665-S5170 and the lights on media center thing were always on so was the light about the touch pad, but i wanted to see what eco button did so i clicked. it turns out it turned off all the lights except the power button and now i cant seem to turn those lights back on.
i click on the volume buttons and it does turn on for a few seconds but then turns off again. i want to know how to turn them back on so they stay lighten up the whole time since i liked it that?

I always leave the lights off to save battery power.
I think all you have to do is hit the Illumination ON/OFF button
(arrow) on the media control buttons located on the system
control panel above the keyboard and it will turn the lights back
on. It was one of the first things I turned off when I got the
machine. It's always plugged in anyway.
Main thing is not to panic when something unexpected happens.
There are many reversable settings on these machines that
require little more than a check mark in a box and a mouse
click. System restore is not the first thing I would reach for.
The manuals for these systems are available on the start
menu under My Toshiba> User's Guide and also under the
product support link at the top of the page. You might even
be able to get a faster and simpler solution to a problem on
the forum or searching the web.

My music is completely messed up: many songs shortened to 3:01, many songs in different versions. Should I delete all and reimport all my purchases? Or is there a more elgant way of cleaning the media center?

I think you should just rebuild your library.
Clear it out, then drag all the song files back in. You'll lose your ratings and playcounts, etc but I don't see what else you can do.

My Mac wont start!!! It stays at the white beginning thing and then wont turn on.

My grandma gave us a new Mac computer. The one that doesnt have a tower. So like if you turn it on it will stay at the white screen. We've left it like that all day and it still wont go. I tried the holding shift and it still wont work. My parents don't know what to do and are very frustrated with us. Can you please help me? And don't tell me to go on my apple and go to the virus cleaning website or anything because i cant get on it!

If the mac is new it comes with warranty and you should phone Apple who will sort it out.
In the meantime you could try an SMC & PRAM reset which may help and won't do any harm:

Can you tell us the details of the Mac. If it's new it'll be running Mountain Lion so you could also try booting into the Recovery HD - but I stress, you shouldn't need to do any of this if the Mac is new.

Edit: And you don't need to worry about viruses, there aren't any currently affecting Macs.

TS4000 How do I get reminders to remind me before the due date? To stay in the Notification Center?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. At first, I was excited to use the Notification Center with Reminders feature--it seemed like a more convenient version of Google Tasks, which I use as a catch-all to do list. In Google Tasks, you can clearly see an overview of what tasks you still have to complete, what's ahead, what's overdue, etc.
So I spent awhile copying the tasks into Reminders (which I resented--I don't really see why I can integrate my Google Calendar with Apple Calendar (or whatever you call it) but I can't integrate the tasks). Then, I opened notification center and nothing showed up. After awhile, I realized that your "reminders" only show up the day they're due.
I don't know about other people, but I need to be reminded about things I have to do well before they're actually due. Constantly.
Furthermore, what the heck is up with putting in a "Remind me on" field without putting in a "Due on" field?
This COULD be a great, convenient application that would help me keep my life organized. Something I would come to depend on.
Instead, it lacks some crucial, very basic, easily-implemented but not-thought-of features. As a consequence, I just wasted a bunch of time trying to get the thing to work, and I will be sticking with Google Tasks / GCal / Dropbox, thanks. Unless, of course, someone has a useful suggestion that will help me solve my problem(s).

Use BusyCal instead of iCal. Reminders will appear as you want them to.

Xbox 360 and Mac as the media center??

First I will say I am new to the world of Mac. I am wondering if instead of conecting the xbox 360 to our old pc, is there a way to connect it with the Mac? We want to be able to share media with the x box.

Not 100% sure if this would work, but I suspect that if the xBox can act as a media extender then this software would work.

Memory Card in Incredible 4g lte wont stay in the slot

It's more like trying to remove it than inserting it. I push the card in and it spits back out. Anybody else have this problem? I've tried 2 different cards and both do the same.

Hello yellicinelli!
Thank you for the post! I want your sim card to stay put! Sounds like this is an issue with the actual device if you have tried multiple cards. Was the phone dropped or damaged in any way? Which phone do you have? I look forward to hearing from you!

ICal wont stay on the second monitor

Hi all,
right now I´m working with a two monitor setup - my MBP and a display. I would like to have iCal on the display - but everytime I start iCal it starts up on the MBP display and I have to drag in manually to the display, so it can´t remember its previous location like other applications as for excample Safari can.
Any ideas how to fix this? I tried to delete the ical.plist file but no change in behaviour.
Best regards - Christoph

Media Center vs. Front Row

I hate to say, I just watched the keynote, and Steve made a really thoughtless comment that got the crowd cheering.
He had a comparison of the iMac remote, and 2 different Windows XP Media Center remotes from HP and Gateway. He pointed out that the MC remotes had around 50 buttons, and the iMac remote had 6. This is an absurd comparison.
The Media Center remotes allow you to pause, play, record, rewind, and fastforward TV. They also have, EQ controls, volume, audio switching, video input, and many other useful controls.
There's no surround sound with an iMac. There's no hi-def inputs with an iMac. There's just volume, play, rewind, fastforward. (with the remote).
And yes, I own a Media Center PC, and such a copy Front Row is. He's bragging about it like it's new technology, when the Media Center has been around for 4 years or so. He even copied the in-menu interface (once you choose music or video, etc.).
Vikram

Vikram's point was that Media Center has been out first for 4 years and Apple just NOW came out with it. And copied parts of it besides. By the way, other things, like Widgets, has been out for PC's a while before they were included in Tiger. Apple is not as great as they, and Steve Jobs, think they are. And everything Apple is still overpriced compared to PC's.

Adding Media Center DVR

I currently have Fios with 3 TV's and 3 STD boxes @ $5.99 each per month. I would like to add the media center DVR and have some questions.
1) Does the media center DVR @ $19.99 per month replace one of the STD boxes?
2)Is there any additional wiring needed to use multi room DVR? ( I do have FIOS internet as well )
Thanks for any help

The $19.99 is the complete cost for the Multi-room DVR, but of course you need the additional SD or HD boxes on the other TVs, and they cost $$$ too.
There really isn't any "setup" required as far as I know. If the order is processed correctly, then you will have the multi-room function available automatically. However, I think it would be reasonable for you to ask the install tech to stay until you have verified that the multi-room function works (and keep in mind that, at least for right now, there are apparently several pretty serious bugs in the multi-room function, hopefully to be fixed in the "near" future, whatever that means).

Possible soulotion to slow Media Center

I have been reading posts about the slowness of the media center and read one that indicated that the downloaded version from interVideo worked fine. This got me thinking about the skins. It appears on my system 2.4 gig celron it is the TransitionEffect that is using 100% of my CPU, by going into my registry using regedit I was able to turn off alot of the overheads.
This also stopped my DVD from jumping so I can now watch it from the media center.
Main keys are
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\InterVideo\Home Theater\TransitionEffect
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\InterVideo\Home Theater\AnimationStyle
I also turned by TV and Radio preload off.
Be aware there is also some keys under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\InterVideo\Home Theater
Hope this helps you too.

The other thing I have been playing around with over the last copule of days in HT on the P4 (I upgraded). By setting the remove software to one HT and the MMCIII to the other thread neither locks the other up when they are busy. I still think there are issue in the remote But I am sure that is MSI fault whit s**t programming.
I found the same to with turing off the OSD.

Home Sharing from two different Macs to a Media Center

I am using an old G5 iMac as a Media Center in my basement. I have Home Sharing setup on my daughter's Macbook so that when she buys new music, movies or TV shows they automatically transfer to the Media Center iTunes Library. Is it possible to get my iMac iTunes to do the same thing at the same time? It seems like the Media Center will only Home Share with my daughter's Library and will not let me Home Share my Library. Can anyone tell if it it's possible to have two different accounts / libraries Home Sharing to a central iTunes Library?

The simplest way is for you to select the entire listing in iTunes and drag all the songs out to a folder. This will copy them, not remove them from iTunes. Do the same on the other iTunes.
Transfer the folder over to the new Mac, over a network, or burn them to a DVD.
Now duplicate one of the folders (for safety reasons before proceeding).
Open this duplicate folder. Open the other folder. Select all the tracks in this other folder and drag them to the new folder: When asked if you want to overwrite files of the same name choose 'Skip' and check 'Apply to all'.
This will then move all files over except where there is already a file with that song title. If you have recordings of the same song by more than one artist you will have to sort that out manually.
This done, open iTunes on the new computer, select all the files in the merged folder and drag them to the Music list.

Cant sign into twitter through media center.

I am unable to sign into the twitter app in the media center. It keeps telling me "wrong username/password" but I know I am using the correct user name and password because I will go to the browser and sign in with no problem. i read here that people had somewhat similar issues but with netflix. Has anyone had similar issues with the twitter app?

Bump. I've got the same problem. It's a simple fix for HP, applying the OAuth registration from Twitter to get this working.
And it's a pretty glaring error for them not to fix. HP, your Touchsmarts don't have a lot of apps as it is. You really should get around to fixing one that comes packaged with the thing.

Cute - no media center in 8.1 eval - what do i do now? i paid for it already

cute, i bought win ver 8 and media center from ms and expensive expansion cards to see hdmi
ms knows what I bought from them and know I may be interested in ver 8.1 and send me offer to try ver 8.1 eval,
(they didn't mention anything about media center not working)
so I installed it and now I cant see anything about media center-even though i bought it
I look around I see:
1. I can install media center from store, I go to ms store and see tons of media centers but nothing from ms
2. I need 8.1 pro
3. I can upgrade to 8.1 pro free..., no links to do so...
It would be nice to know how to get media center running or back to ver 8 with media center working-I like it a lot.
I have been using ms since 80's, believing they will get things straight some day, I am 57 now and I hope its soon
little help please.
cjl

Hi,
Did you mean you got Windows 8.1 from Windows store for free?
If so, after you finish installing this new version of Windows, we may need to add Media package by following these steps:
Control panel -> Programs and features -> Turn features on and off -> Check on the Media center item to reinstall it.
Hope these could be helpful.

The software disccussed here is NOT the Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition, but MSI-bundled application which according to some folks is based on certain Intervideo product. This app does NOT contain OS "kernel".
I think that is a "By the way" question, so Asmund is asking whether Win MC2K5 can be installed over a standard WinXP O.S. or not; That question is unrelated with Intervideo's MC3.
I wonder if that is possible, too.
Anybody knows?
