New Portege Z10T cannot see Sierra/4G card after Win 8.1 Upgrade

Hi All,
I purchased a brand new Toshiba Z10T Core i5 00M001 model from Telstra last night. When I got it, it had a connection "Telstra" which linked to the internal 4g card. This was tested and working on the standard Windows 8 install as provided from the get go.
I proceeded to run Windows update on the stock Win8 install, which installed some 900MB of updates. Following this I installed the recommended Windows 8.1 update. Once this had completed, the laptop rebooted a few times, and as one of the final steps it wanted to connect to the internet to complete it's configuration (I presume download my profile from Microsoft) AT THIS STAGE I had the "Telstra" connection available to me and I used that connection to download the profile (it even smsed me a confirmation code).
Following this however, the "Telstra" connection disappeared, and the Sierra Wireless card is now nowhere to be found on the unit. I've tried connecting to a wireless network and running Windows Update (I'm up to date) and your support website does not have a specific driver available for the wireless card on Windows 8.1
Can you please suggest how I might go about getting the 4g connection on the unit working again. It's one of the pivotal reasons I invested in this tablet and I do not wish to roll back to Windows 8.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi,
I ended up solving this by running the firmware upgrade recommended for Windows 8 (not 8.1).
After I ran the firmware upgrade, the 4g card appeared again.
Cheers,
Josh

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

  • New Jabber user cannot see (only) one of the added buddies

    Running ichat server, just a handful of OD users. OD is on the same machine as Ichat server. Nothing is limiting the use of Ichat by any of the OD users. Server G5 10.4.9, Clients managed Intel Imacs 10.4.9
    Added a new user.
    New user can add buddies in the Jabber List.
    New user can see all but 1 of them in the List.
    One of the buddies, lets say UserX, can see the new user in her Jabber List.
    No matter what we have tried from within Ichat the new user cannot see UserX.
    Both users are members of the same groups and have matching access abilities.
    Any suggestions. Thanks for looking at this.

    New user can see all but 1 of them in the List.
    If I understand it this correctly, 'new user' can see all other buddies except one. And all the other users can see this buddy.
    Lets call the new user "userX" and the one they cannot see "userY" and lets call your ichat server "jabber.myserver.com"
    The configuration files for users buddylist is stored in the spool di rectorywhich you can find at /var/jabber/spool/. In there you will find a directory the matches the name of your ichat server. For me that is jabber.clayford.com. In this directory you will find one xml file for eash user of ichat server. Their file name is the OD logon name for the server.
    Stop the ichat server service and make back up of any files you edit before you start.
    Open the file for "userX.xml" In this file you will see some xml code that starts <item jid='[email protected]' subscription='xxxxxx'>. there will be a number of them, one for each buddy.
    Mke sure the xxxxxx is the word 'both' [with the quotes] and if the text ask='subscribe' exists in that line before the >,remove it. So that definition should now be: <item jid='[email protected]' subscription='both'>.
    Save the file and now open the file userY.xml and check that the item <item jid='[email protected]' subscription='both'> exists.
    Restart the ichat server and the problem should be fixed...

  • Very new to this: Cannot see code for a package in SQL Developer

    I know I'm doing something wrong but I certainly don't know what. I'm looking for the code to go along with a package. I can see the procedures the package calls and I can see a list of procedures but I cannot see the code for those procedures. I have tried using describe on the pop up and I just don't see anything but a window showing me the parameters the procedure will use. I want to see the code it will use.
    Can someone walk me through this or point me in the right direction?
    TIA

    I can only assume you're on 2.1 or 2.1.1 since you don't even say. If you click on the tree showing the various objects after establishing your connection, when you get to packages and you click the package you want, you'll see the spec. Now click on the plus sign and there should be 'package name' body. If you click that body icon, you say you still can't see the code?

    Unfortunately, Starter Edition 3.2 has been discontinued for some time now; an alternative option (which is free) could be google Picasa; check that one out to see if it might work for you.
    Photoshop Elements replaced Starter Edition, and comes with a sophisticated organizer that essentially does what Starter Edition did; download the tryout and use it for 30 days for free to see if it does what you want it to.

    I have installed SQL Server Express 2013 on my home PC, which runs Windows 7.  I used the advanced installation, which includes Reporting Services.  The install seemed to go okay but when I open SSRS, I cannot see the Report Builder button on the
    screen.  I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out, including installing and reinstalling the program.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Also, I cannot connect to the report server through SQL Server Management Studio.
    If anyone has any straightforward assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.  I have spent a lot of time looking for answers.  In the meanwhile I'll continue seeing if I can get this to work.

    Hello,
    See

  • TS3989 cannot see photos in PC after enabled photo stream

    Hi, I have a question regarding photo stream and I am wondering if anyone can offer any help. I already set up an account in iCloud and I have wifi at home, on my iphone I went to the Settings>iCloud>Photos> I turned "My Photo Stream" on, then on my computer I went to iCloud and signed in, I enabled the box next to Photos so the box is blue color instead of white color, then I clicked the "Options" button on the right hand side of Photos and I placed the checkmark besides "My Photo Stream", I can see the iCloud Photos Location is listed as C:\Users\Admin\Pictures\iCloud Photos, but when i went to C:\Users\Admin\Pictures\iCloud Photos, I did not see any pics, I only saw 3 folders named My Photo Stream, Shared, Uploads but when I opened any of those 3 folders, I cannot see any photos, may I ask why? When I open each of those 3 folders, I can only see the file named desktop.ini. I signed in iCloud on my computer the entire time and I have not signed out. Is it because I need to sign in the iCloud app on my phone in order for the photos to download to my computer? Many thanks in advance!

  • Problem - new MacBook Air cannot see external HD

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help, as I have seen similar questions in the forums, but not with an answer that helps me solve my problem.
    Ok, I have a new MacBook Air running Lion (bought last year), a MacBook Pro running Leopard which is approx 4 years old and a Windows Laptop.  I use the MacBook Air for Work and when travelling (weekly with work), the MacBook Pro for home and managing my other apple devices (iPad/iPhone etc..).  I no longer use the PC, but there are loads of files both work and home, I wish to keep on an external HD for use with both Apple Laptops.
    So, the external HD used to work with the MacBook Air when I first bought it (a couple of weeks ago) and formatted it with the MacBook Air, but it couldn't be seen or used with the Windows PC.  When I formatted it with the Windows PC, I could use it with the MacBook Air but could not write to the disk.
    So I have now partitioned and formatted it with the MacBook Pro running Lion, but now the MacBook Air cannot even see the disk in Disk Utility.
    My MacBook Air otherwise runs absolutely fine with no problems, and the MacBook Air is a critical piece of kit that I use on a daily basis to do my job.  As such, I have no appetite for deleting any drivers etc... from the MacBook Air as it could originally see the disk and I do not want to make a mistake and cause myself problems.
    So the question is, how on earth do I get the MacBook Air to see the drive again in Disk Utility? So I can do the partitioning and formatting there, this drive is of no use if can only be seen by the MacBook Pro.  The drive is a portable USB powered Toshiba 1TB disk Part Number: HDTB110EK3BA.
    Am going to wait for some suggestions, my next thought is to erase everything using the windows PC assuming it can see it, and then see if the Mac Book Air laptop can see it in Disk Utility... no other options left really.
    I hope someone can help, otherwise I may be off to buy a new disk and could hit the same problems again!
    Thanks
    Alex.

    Toshiba Acknowledges MacBook Woes in Canvio USB 3.0 Hard Drives
    By Christopher Price on December 27, 2011
    Following tests conducted by PhoneNews.com, Toshiba has acknowledged an issue affecting their Canvio USB 3.0 hard drives. The issue prevents current-generation MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from properly connecting and powering up the drives.
    Read more to see our findings, and the resulting (ongoing) investigation by Toshiba.
    We began our tests based on tips from readers like you, and went out and purchased five (yes, five) Canvio USB 3.0 drives, along with a brand new 2011 MacBook Air.
    Drive problems happened immediately, and were relatively isolated to the MacBook Air. Of all the systems we tested on, we were only able to reproduce issues on a Sony VAIO laptop late in our testing, as well as a current-gen MacBook Pro.
    Essentially, the drives failed to mount, and in most tests never even spun up on these systems.
    The Canvio USB 3.0 hard drives have sat under many people’s Christmas trees, as they were hot sellers during Black Friday. Retailers like Office Depot slashed prices on the slim, 2.5-inch drives down to $79 for a 1TB hard drive. With coupons, Radio Shack was selling the 500GB model for a mere $39.
    Canvio USB 3.0 drives tout on the box compatibility with USB 2.0 systems, including both Mac and PC. The advantage of a Canvio USB 3.0 hard drive for a MacBook owner lies in Thunderbolt. Purchasing such a drive today can achieve USB 3.0 speeds with upcoming Thunderbolt-to-USB 3.0 adapters. USB 3.0 mass storage was designed to be fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
    To get to the bottom of the problem, we probed the five Canvio drives purchased, in an effort to better understand the issue. And, we were able to isolate the problem; the Canvio USB 3.0 drives draw more power than the USB standard permits. The drives were drawing, upon connection, slightly more than the five watts that the spec allows. And, the new MacBooks appear to promptly shut the device down because of this.
    Why? Well, Apple can assert that this is to protect the MacBook Air/Pro from a malfunctioning USB device. However, the answer really lies in tablets. Apple allows iPad and MacBook to perform a hardware handshake, which then allows Apple devices to draw 10 watts from the USB port. This is why you can charge an iPad directly on a Mac, but not on a PC.
    Apple does not want to allow rival tablet manufacturers (Android) to have the same access to Apple’s USB port. Hence, any device (like a tablet) that wants to draw even slightly more than five watts, is shut off from communicating with the Mac. We affirmed this by testing a powered USB hub. With a powered hub connected to the hard drive, and the hub connected to the MacBook, the drive instantly came to life, and worked without issue.
    This creates a bit of an odd situation; Toshiba is technically in the wrong for making drives that technically breach USB specifications… but Apple seems to be the only manufacturer to enforce this aspect (as well as breach it with their own devices).
    Toshiba, to its credit, has owned up to our issue, right down to our suggestion to them that a powered hub works around the issue. Quoting an official statement in response to our research:
    Toshiba DPD has identified an isolated USB connectivity issue between the Canvio USB 3.0 drive and currently shipping MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. The issue involves the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air being unable to recognize the Canvio USB 3.0 drive when connected directly to the laptop USB 2.0 port. Toshiba is actively working to remedy this USB connectivity issue. In the interim, Toshiba recommends MacBook Pro and MacBook Air users employ a powered USB hub to connect their Canvio USB 3.0 drives.
    We have asked Toshiba if they intend to inform retailers to accept returns for affected drives, or if they will offer some form of refund program in the interim. Retailers such as Office Depot do not permit refunds on opened technology items, including Canvio drives. Toshiba has said are looking into that aspect of this problem, and will get back to us shortly.
    In all, we spent a few hundred on hard drives, and confirmed the issue. Unfortunately, because it is a power drain concern, Toshiba will likely have to offer an exchange program to fix it. We seriously doubt that this can be fixed at the firmware level. Theoretically, it’s possible a USB cable replacement might be able to mitigate this issue however, so there is hope that Toshiba won’t have to recall a bazillion hard drives.
    Update: As a follow-up, Toshiba has informed us that they have completed their investigation, and will replace affected drives.

  • Cannot see PCI firewire card in MAX

    Hi
    I have a firewire camera connected to my computer via a PCI card. Using the software that came with the camera, I am able to capture images easily so there is clearly no hardware problem. However, I cannot seem to access the camera using MAX. If I go to the configuration tree and select My System > Devices and interfaces, all I see is PXI system (Unidentified) and Serial and Parallel. ie. I do not see NI-IMAXdx. If I select Software, I see all of the following on the list (and more) NI Vision, NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQ for 1394, NI-IMAQdx.
    Many thanks,

  • Have copied all my emails to my new MacBook but cannot 'see' them!

    I thought I was doing this the right way, but obviously I'm missing something ...
    I wanted to copy all my emails in my gmail account from my iMac to my new MacBook. In Finder I went to Users/Tricia/Library/Mail/POP-myemailaddress and copied the entire folder. I also copied the Mailboxes folder and the Mail Downloads folder. I then pasted these folders into the same location on my MacBook.
    When I check in Finder all the folders, mailboxes and emails are there, however, when I open Mail my Gmail account is empty, as are all the mailboxes 'On My Mac'.
    Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I've re-done this action several times and it's simply not working. I have been able to successfully copy my entire Gmail account between Macs before using this method.
    I'm very perplexed!
    Tricia

    Hi Chris, thanks for your prompt response. I did as you suggested, however, it resulted in my Inbox just having my MobileMe account in Mail - my Gmail account doesn't show up in the Inbox area at all.
    Under 'On My Mac' all my Gmail mailboxes that I'd set up are there but, as before, they're all empty.
    I've repaired disk permissions and can't think of what else to do.
    I'm going to Italy tomorrow for 4 months and wanted to have all my emails from my Gmail account show up in Mail. Looks like that's not going to happen!
    cheers
