New toshiba laptop problem

My girlfriend bought a toshiba satellite a505 in july. It's a great laptop for her school but it turns off periodically without warning. After it turns off it won't turn on until it is unplugged and replugged into the wall. Is this a problem with the power supply or something in the laptop? We would just return the laptop but best buy is forever away. All help will be appreciated

I agree with Lex, if the unit is less than 1 year old, I would have it submitted for service. If the unit was purchased at Best Buy, the Geek Squad at your local store can send the unit off for you. Average repair time it 10 to 14 days.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Cannot register my new Toshiba laptop

I have just purchased a new Toshiba laptop - but am unable to register same.
Every time I submit the form, the site replies that my phone number is not as it should be - the format is not correct.
I am at a loss to correct the matter. Any help there please?

I had exactly the same problem in registering my new laptop for warranty.
The laptop came with a "Toshiba Warranty Registration" icon that goes to a specific registration page offering a PUR101UK-B warranty.
The page to enter registrration details, asked for a phone number amongst the other normal data required.
The phone number is not asterisked as a compulsory field.
When I completed all the fields and submit, a rejection was returned saying that the telephone format was incorrect.
I tried every combination of format, including international 0044 and +44 approaches.
Each time the same negative result.
I eventually succeeded with the registration procedure - by removing my tel no.!
Not an elegant solution, but at least pragmatic, and of course Toshiba don't really need my phone no.
I suspect that there is a bug on this particular line of the registration page software, but no doubt some expert may have a better answer.

My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

How can I install my pantech um290 on a new toshiba laptop?

Bought a new toshiba laptop today, installed vz access for the pantech 290 and cannot connect to the internet. I contacted tech support, and they attempted to help me, but there really was no help. I am running windows 7 on the newbie. I installed, detected the device, and kept getting error message wmc100. Tech support advised me to uninstall it, shut it down, open it back up, install it, shut it down, open it back up and attempt to log on. Still got the same error message.
<sigh> if only I could afford a new mac laptop. It really is my preference........

The first thing I would do is take evsotech suggestion to install the updated version of the software because the cd has a habit of having out dated software on the cd, go to http://vzam.net/ and download the most recent version of the software..
Now as for having driver issues, basically to make sure you have all your drivers installed correctly go to your desktop and right click on the
1."Computer" icon and select
2."Properties" and then select
3. Device Manager located on the left boarder....
4. Once the screen comes up that shows a list with all the hardware on your PC (Check for any yellow triangle or red exclamation point) because this will indicate a missing driver..
After checking this please report back...

How do i get my photos from my iphone 4s to my new toshiba laptop? Toshiba keeps saying there are no files to view, meaning i have no photos on my phone, which is not true.

I just bought a new toshiba laptop and I am trying to download the pictures off of my iphone 4s on to my laptop. The laptop keeps trying to download the pictures and it stops part way through and says "No files to download" meaning that I have to pictures on my iphone, which is not true because there are about 600 picture that i wanted to put onto the computer.. How to i get those pictures off of my iphone and on to my laptop?

Pics synced to your iphone from your computer are one way- computer to iphone.
If these are the pics to which you are referring then copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your computer, to your new one.

What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.

Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8. I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated. Restarted both Itune and iphone....reset phone backup....to no avail.....HELP!

I have removed now all bloatware from laptop, CCleaner run and some more stuff: installed Libre Office, Free Avast, Mozilla Firefox - Spotify was preinstalled. And now this is even better - really simple and fast.
I also removed Ethernet completely, as I don't want to be locked at one place. It's not cool to use laptop on divan sofa. So tired after hour of sitting in uncool position. Wifi speed loss is almost 50%. 95 Mbps I get from 100 Mbps at Ethernet and on Wifi in laptop I get at max 50 Mbps. It's only for end this year this way, then I will slow down my connection anyway as for one person and laptop/smartphone it's way too much of speed for 40 €. With 27€ I can get the same 10M/10M and it will be more than enough. Now I have 100M/10M.
I'm also considering about 50M/10M option for 32.90 €, but I will see what I do. I download now test file 10GB and it loads 30-40 Mbps and sometimes even as fast as 50 Mbps. It depends on server also, but ebven on Google, which works on Ethernet at 95 Mbps, it is on Wifi nothing more than 51 Mbps.
It's also 10GB of 1,100 Offlined tracks, I tested it now. So on trips 32GB card should be enough for my phone. I'm going to one soon :)

Transfer music from Ipod to Itunes on new Toshiba laptop

I have purchased a new Toshiba laptop and installed Itunes. I have all my music on my Iphone 4. Can I directly move my music from Iphone to Itunes library on new laptop. The music was mainly imported from my CD collection - It was imported to Itunes on my old PC and then synched to Iphone from old PC. Unfortunately old PC has died without a back-up. Thus I need to transfer music from Iphone directly to Itunes on new laptop.

You need to copy your iTunes from your Old computer or its Backup to your New computer...

Crash signature: KERNELBASE.dll@0xb727 on new Toshiba Laptop; any fix?

downloaded Firefox to my new Toshiba Laptop and haven't been able to use it. Everytime I try to open it, it crashes. I traced the Crash Signature via instructions: KERNELBASE.dll@0xb727 but there is no support information available. Any help on this? I prefer Firefox over Explorer and would like to use it on the laptop.

So you are saying that the recovery discs I made do include the copy of windows that was originally installed?
Absolutely! They will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Follow the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

maybe i can make a deal with wd to have them swap this drive out for the BEKT instead...
That would be a good idea in any case.
As I said, the 10-fc12-045d error would not be due to the drive's being AFT, but more likely the discs are not being read properly. New discs can be obtained from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here

New Toshiba Laptop!

I want to buy a new gaming laptop and i really love the qosmio series but its VGA is a bit outdated if we consider the new DX 11 cards...
will Toshiba release a new gaming latop anytime soon? I heard about the new 3D laptop but i don't want a 3D laptop at least now!

Not *that* great of a difference, honestly. But it's still there.

Why does new PSE 8 and 9 both crash on my new Toshiba laptop with Windows 7?

I bought new PSE Elements 8 and 9 and both crashed immediately on my new Toshiba Satellite P 755 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS. I tried going into Properties of PSE 9 and going to Compatability and putting in Windows 7 but it didn't do any good. Please help!

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

New Toshiba Laptop with Windows 8 mouse disappears

I received a Toshiba Satellite Laptop for Christmas and it is running Windows 8. I started using it and it worked fine, but I started using Internet Explorer and the mouse froze, but I could still use my keyboard to get back to the start-page and move around with the up/down/left/right keys. My mouse was no where to be found on the start-page. I used the ctrl-alt-delete to log out, and then when the log-in screen came up my mouse reappeared and seemed to be working again. I logged back in and my mouse worked for a few seconds, then disappeared. I did the same things over and over again a few times, and either the mouse was nowhere to be found from the get-go, or it worked for a bit then disappeared once I started doing things. I shut down, and restarted multiple times. Any fix for this problem? If it is a Windows 8 problem I am very disappointing at the moment with the software Thank you, and happy holidays.

This may be the one i sold - but what we found was that the F5 key brought the mouse back . I am not sure how it happened in the first place. But F5 is "refresh" . this is a POOR choice for a function key that disables the mouse, since now to get the FUNCTION for f5, you need to press fn and F5 . If you hit just f5 like we used to, it will disable the mouse ... hmmmmmm. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
