Help Im looking for a laptop that will run these specs

I am looking for a laptop to run AT LEAST the following OS: Windows XP SP2/ Windows Vista/Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit) CPU: Intel dual-core 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 + 3800 Memory: 1GB RAM or Better Video:ATI Radeon X1800 or NVIDIA GeForce 7950 or better Sound: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Soundcard DirectX: Version 9.0c or Higher HDD: 5GB Free Disk Space Network: Broadband Required I have a sattelite now and have had no probs with it. I just need an upgrade can you tell me what you have that fits into these parametors?

Toshiba is NOT supplying XP drivers for any of it's laptops that ship with WIndows 7 so if XP is important to you then you'll need to look at some other manufacturer that does supply them or pick a Toshiba that comes with Vista and look on the Product Support Link at the top of this page to verify that it has XP drivers available for it.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Looking for a linux that fits Oracle

Hello!
I am a student and im studying Oracle in Sweden. To this date i have been using Oracle on Windows and i want to change it to Linux now.
I am looking into Fedora since the company i am gonna do my practice at are using Red Hat (and i cant pay for it), so it feels like a good choice.
But some of my friends have been using Oracle+Fedora together and it seems to be aloooot of problems, and even tho there is guides out there; there is still problem.
What would you recommend me to do? I Would be glad if u could provide me with guides :)
I am gonna use Oracle 10g, and my candidades for nix are Fedora and SuSe
Cheers
Johan from Sweden

It took Oracle over 1 month to actually get me a CSI number that should have been sent out automatically when I paid. I finally got one after multiple phone calls and much time on hold. Even then I had to convince them that I did not lose the email. Not a very good way to run a railroad. I asked the person who finally gave me the CSI to reset the counter so it started today since I had yet to receive the CSI. She told me politely that she could not do that. Basically blew me off. As you know, the only reasonably priced support option for an individual user is network. Therefore telephone support does not even enter the discussion.
I pretty much found nothing worked correctly with Unbreakable Linux Network. Silly me, I expected it to work something like RedHat Network since that was what they were replacing. When I wanted to add new software such as Trac, I tried using synaptic etc to load software and was always told that the object was not found. Doing exactly the same thing with CentOS 5.2 produced great results.
As I mentioned before, I have worked with Oracle since the early 90s. Metalink is not a good thing to do to anyone just wanting to update their Linux. To say it is exhausting finding the correct software would be an understatement. When I am working at a client on million dollar databases, I don't mind how tedious this can be. When I am working on a personal Linux box, this is unacceptable. I should be able to locate and install easily and OEL is far from that. CentOS using the same software is much easier to add software and keep software up to date. If you really want to see this done right, take a look at Linux Mint.

Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

Looking for a laptop

I am looking for a laptop which I can use in the studio or at my parent's holiday house. At the moment, I have to use 2 computers, a Power Mac G5 1.6 GHZ system for audio and MIDI sequencing, etc. and a PC for adding lyrics to melody lines in Sonar for backing tracks which I program for a local midifile company. I switch between the two with a KVM switch.
I have been quite interested in the new Intel laptops. Are they a lot quicker than my G5 for doing what I want to do? Could I sell my current G5 1.6 GHZ and get a laptop? Will my Emagic MT4 interface work on both OSX and Windows?
I have an internal drive on my G5 for audio purposes. Could I take that out and put that into an e-SATA enclosure and use an e-SATA Express card on my laptop so that I can use a much faster internal drive than a Firewire?
Last question. (Sorry for this long post) Is there a carrying bag that I can use to carry a laptop, my Mobile I/O soundcard, hard drives and extra accessories, etc so that I can easily set up and disconnect with minimum fuss?

hi,
any of the current intel mac laptops will completely toast your G5 1.6. they are all great machines for logic. as a rough guide, a core 2 duo 2.33 MBP can run at least the same number, if not slightly more plug ins than a dual processor or dual core G5 of the same clock speed. my C2D 2.33 MBP is clearly faster than my dual 2.0 Ghz G5.
I personally went for a MBP 17" because I wanted the biggest display size I could get without having to depend on an additional monitor to feel comfortable working with logic. I have not regretted that decision at all.
as for your drive going into an e-sata box.. I can't really say, although I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. still, unless you have very heavy track count requirements, FW would be more than adequate and a little less fuss. but, another advantage to going the e-sata route is that you totally leave your FW bandwidth free, so you won't be running into trouble if you have a FW audio interface that needs lots of bandwidth for lots of channels. or, if you wanted to use something like a liquid mix. btw, don't forget that these days, you'll actually get pretty extraordinary performance from the internal laptop drive (at least compared to the old days when it was not even an option), but this is still not the most recommended way to work.
as far as a carrying solution goes.. well, oddly enough I've been looking into the very same thing myself. I found a company called gigskinz that make bags for all sorts of musical instruments, small portable producer setups, DJs and the like. there are ones that have a laptop sleeve, extra storage for mics and other assorted gear. actually, the one that I saw that looked most usable for me on their site was a DJ/producer bag. it has the laptop sleeve, and then larger compartments for records and CDs, but I would use them for other gear. it is also fitted with wheels and a long handle so you can carry it like luggage if it gets too heavy. they all have padding and fluffy stuff inside to keep things from scratching. it looks pretty good. the thing is, I just happen to be in australia myself also (for family reasons) and I couldn't find a distributor for gigskinz in australia. I emailed them and got no response at all.. my cousin in LA is going to go check them out for me, but I may well pick one up next time I'm in LA or when I'm back in paris as I'm a little worried about getting the wrong thing if I don't see it first.
but hey, if you do some research yourself, I'd love to hear of any other options you come up with. FYI, I'd need to carry a MBP 17", a rode NTK mic and powersupply, a mindprint trio interface, a couple of lacie FW drives (including the double size 500GB one), and then a wireless keyboard mouse and other various little things, plus cables of course.
actually it might be a good idea to start a thread on this.. there have to be some users out there that have found the killer solution for transporting a portable logic rig.

I wanted to purchase a Computer at Best Buy but they currently have nothing that fits my needs.

Best Buy had a very nice ASUS Desktop with a new i7 processor for a very resonable price about a month ago.
I just looked, and it's no longer offered, but in the same price/performance currently there's only an iMac
and some Voice Recorder PC?
I would really like to purchase a PC from Best Buy, however there's not a single machine I can
find on their website within the 1200-1500 price range I would be willing to purchase. I do not
want a MAC, and do not want a Voice Recording PC>??
I'm now looking at a very nice Gateway for 1299 somewhere else with an i7-950 3.0Ghz processor
and 9GB of Ram. Why can't I find a similar deal at Best Buy? If I can't find something that fits
my needs at Best Buy soon, I'm going to take my money elsewhere.
Kind Regards,
-Chris

Yah on October 22 we will have a very large release of many laptops and all new product will be available for purchase. Its very exiting how much there will be available.

Anyone know of a good one?

I recommend that instead of working on an iPad application you get a good web programmer in and set up a web-facing system that can be used from anything with a web browser -- an iPad, a smartphone, a laptop or a desktop. Then your employees can access the system from any computer with a web browser, and you don't need to employ an expensive specialist programmer to produce a system which is useless for devices made by other manufacturers. The only requirement for use will be that your devices must in range of either WiFi or a phone signal.
It will also mean that if you need to change your software at any time you only have to change one copy, back at headquarters, rather than update an App on every individual iPad.
Apple's web browsers (including the ones built into iDevices) allow a web site to request the user's location, so people using an iPad should be able to do the things you have asked for.

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
that does it with expertise.
Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
Thanks in and advance for suggestions

Hi,
I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.
For troubleshooting Windows updates, if needed:

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
Hearns
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

Looking for an app that takes presence!

Hi,
We are looking for an APP that would allow us to copy a contact list from an excel file and then strike the name if the person is present at the event.
When the event is over, I would like to save that list and export it back to my computer.
Is there an app that would suit my need?
Alex

Why not just open your excel file in an app that edits excel documents? That app would be far more useful than a specific use app, in that you could use it for all kinds of documents other than your attendance.
Jason
p.s. unless you have a mac with iWork on it, I wouldnt suggest Numbers on iPad because it cannot export back to excel yet from iPad.
