Newer graphic driver from Sat. A305 on A210

Can I install graphic driver for notebook toshiba satellite A305-S6864 on notebook toshiba satellite a210-16f? And will it run correctly? I want to try this because of the last graphic driver I have is version 8.452 and any newer games like a Unreal Tournament III and Unreal 3 engine doesn't run good. I want to try it on Graphic driver version 8.611, it's much newer and it's more optimized. Does anyone try this?

I tried to install this driver for a305, but it displayed me that I have everything up-to-date. And It could update only CCC program, setup manager ati catalyst and ms visual c++ redistributable. So no driver showed here. :(
So my recommend: Don't buy notebook with ATI graphic card, because of there is many problems connected with this like a drivers(No updates from Toshiba's side, official side, ... and bad linux support), unfunctional games (Anarchy online isn't playable on ati's card., and so on.)
While nVidia's and Intel's Cards has official support from the developers.

Creating new graphics object from a existing one and sending it for print

Hello,
i have a graphics object which is big in size, I am creating a new graphics object from the existing one as given below
//map is a graphic object
Graphic g1 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width,height);
Graphic g2 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width1,height1);
Graphic g3 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width2,height2);
arrayList.add(g1);
arrayList.add(g2);
arrayList.add(g3);
Now I want to send the graphic object g1,g2,g3 for print in the method
public int print (Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int idx) throws PrinterException {
// Printable's method implementation
if (curPageFormat != pf) {
curPageFormat = pf;
pages = repaginate (pf);
if (idx >= 3)) {
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
g = (Graphics) arrayList.get(idx);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
This is not working... what is wrong. can anybody suggest..
I tried standardprint.java to print a object inside a scrollpane, it is not printing the entire diagram. so I am thinking of something like this.... Please let me know what to do....
Thanks

The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
Open the project and go to File > Rename.
Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. Have you heard of this?

I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. New photos take a long time to load as well.
Have you heard of this?
Thanks

We need a little more information to be able to help.
However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture.
What kind of corruption? And when do you see it? All your images, or only some? Are the images distorted, discolored, or not displayed at all?
Are you shooting in raw? Is your library referenced or managed? Is your library on your system volume or on an external harddrive?
And it would help to know your MacOS version and Aperture version too.

Qosmio X300 (PQX31E) - New display driver from nVidia

Good news!
The Nvidia website has a fully compatible new driver for certain X300 models (those with short model no.-PQX31E,nvidia chipsets i believe).
Its driver 186.81 released about a month ago-so finally we can move on from the woefully outdated driver on Toshiba's site.
The new driver has increased SLI support for more recent games and enables PhysX acceleration from the GPU.
It also seemed to reduce my graphics card temperatures by at least 5c-it seems the fans work harder as i can hear them more.
One word of warning-dont follow the standard install procedure that Nvidia recommends-i.e. let the new driver uninstall your old driver and then automatically install its self.
I did this at first but had some problems with Dawn of war 2 crashing on startup.
So what you should do is the following....
1.Download Drivesweeper from Guru3D website.
2.Uninstall your old graphics driver using add/remove-its also worth uninstalling any PhysX driver as well.
3.Reboot into safe mode and run drivesweeper to remove remnants of the old graphics driver and Physx driver if applicable.
4.Install Nvidia mobile graphics driver 186.81 from Nvidia website and enjoy better performance in your games!!!

Al-ex-you misunderstand....a number of qosmio x300 models have hybrid SLI graphics so why that should sound strange to you in this forum is beyond me...
Also the driver i mentioned is more than generic if you read the release notes it states that it supports Qosmio x300 models but only lists 2 american model numbers-further research lead me to conclude that driver 186.81 is fully compatible with x300s that have nvidia not intel chipsets(nothing to do with GPU) and thus have model no. PQX31E-my Qosmio is oficially listed as x300-13w and with the 31E model no.
This driver is not unofficial like Doxs drivers on Laptopvideotogo website and doesn't require any special modification to work....its just that Nvidias uninstaller is inefficient and its a good idea to run drivesweeper before installing 186.81.
I'm enjoying better in game rendering and i can play red faction Guerilla without crashes and the laptop runs cooler...!!!!!

How do I restore a new Hard drive from Super Duper clone ?

The Hard Drive in my 2010 iMac died and was replaced with a new one. Thankfully I have a clone made with Super Duper of the old drive. Do I just clone back on to the new internal drive ? The new drive, installed by Apple has OS10.6.8 installed on it now (by Apple ), which is the OS on the clone. Do I need to completely wipe the drive before restoring with my clone ? All that's on the new drive is the OS. Don't want to make any mistakes here.....

1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once thats done then you can do a clean Install, restore from TM or the Bootable Clone.

How do I reload to my new hard drive from my external backup

Hey All,
I am a little confused and ignorant. My hard drive on my G4 recently started to fail. I was able to copy my entire drive to a Lacie external before it finally died and I had a new hard drive installed.
My question is how do I tranfer all the data on the external back to the new drive. I.E. make it just like it used to be.
I have not installed the OS from the CD's yet, I am curious if there is some trick to upload it all from the Lacie or am I gonna have to upload the OS then go through all of the updates that have happened in the last 3 yrs. Then individually tranfer all of the files from the Lacie.
I am hoping that I can do something. restart the computer and my old wallpaper,Itunes and desktop will magically appear! Hey I said I was ignorant.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sean
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.4)

If you don't have an OS on the internal drive the iBook should automatically find and boot from the OS on the external FireWire drive.
If it doesn't automatically do it, you can hold down the OPTION key during boot. You can then select the volume to boot from.

Restore new hard drive from an older one

so i only have 120gb on my current hard drive. im planning on getting a 500gb hard drive to put into my mac, and buy a case for the 120gb hd so i can use it as an external hard drive. the problem is, i dont have an existing external hard drive, so the 120gb one is all i have. i want to keep all my music and photos and all that stuff, so im wondering if i can just replace the internal hard drive with the 500gb one, then connect the 120gb one via usb and restore away.
also: when i install the new hard drive, will i need to use the leopard installation dvd to install, and then transfer my files from my external hd?or will i just be able to transfer everything from the external hard drive right away? and since the external hd should be bootable, when i choose to transfer files from the external(using migration assistant or whatever) should i click use *transfer from existing mac* or *transfer from an external volume* or smth?
thx in advance for the help
Kenneth

i want to keep all my music and photos and all that stuff, so im wondering if i can just replace the internal hard drive with the 500gb one, then connect the 120gb one via usb and restore away.
Yes. Put it into an enclosure such as the case you mentioned and connect it to the computer.
when i install the new hard drive, will i need to use the leopard installation dvd to install, and then transfer my files from my external hd?
Use the installation DVD, or place the 500GB drive in an enclosure, use a tool such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your current system to it, put the drive into the computer, and start using it immediately. No migration is needed in the second case.
when i choose to transfer files from the external(using migration assistant or whatever) should i click use transfer from existing mac or transfer from an external volume or smth?
If that step is needed, transfer the data from an external volume.

Problems with copying iPhoto library onto new hard drive from external HELP

I had to get a new hard drive installed onto my MacBook Pro, but was able to copy my iPhoto library onto my external hard drive via another computer before the old hard drive failed. Now, I am trying to copy that library back onto my MacBook.
After I copied the library onto the MacBook, when iPhoto was opened, it showed no photos but I could see album titles. Then when I opened iPhoto while holding down the option key, it was all clumped into one event and not nearly all of the photos were there. Also, I have right-clicked on the library to see package contents and everything seems to be there, but I don't know how to make it all show up in the library.
I've downloaded iPhoto Library Manager because I thought that might help (but haven't used it yet -- don't know how) and I just need some help to recover my iPhoto library... and is there a way to restore all the separate events imported and time/date stamps, in order to get all the photos in chronological order?

Should I just go through the iPhoto Library package contents and drag every folder into iPhoto?
No. That will get you massive duplication.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Trying to load windows onto new hard drive from usb, stuck at "starting windows" screen

So I am actually down grading from windows 8 pro to windows 7 pro both 64. I was finally able to get the comp to not only recongize, but load from the usb. My problem is that when it does start up, I get stuck at the "Starting windows" screen. I was wondering maybe I need to format a patition first? It is a new warranty hard drive from Lenovo. (Kind of funny how that send only cds for a laptop that has no cd drive) I looked into formatting from a usb, have had some trouble finding a reliable way.....thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi davefromsb,
Windows 8 computers come with a "UEFI" bios and therefore will come with "Secure Boot" as well as "UEFI Only" booting enabled. Disable secure boot if you haven't already, and switch the booting method to "Legacy Only". The problem is most likely that the Windows 7 image that was burned to the USB stick was burned using a MBR partition scheme instead of a GPT one. Hope this helps.

Restoring new hard drive from time capsule

I am attempting to restore my new macbook pro hard drive from my time capsule. I follow the prompts at start up and select "from time machine or other disk" when I get to the "transfer infromation to this mac" screen. the next screen says "select source" it shows the picture of a time capsule, which is not selectable. When I click "conitnue" i get the spining circle and "looking for other computers..." it never goes any further. I was able to connect to the time capsule from another computer, so, I assume it working---don't know what else to do

Try this:
Drive Preparation and Installation for Lion/Mountain Lion
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting is done quit DU and return to the main menu. You can now select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup, then click on the Continue button.

Help Restoring New Hard Drive from Time Machine

To replace a failing Macintosh HD, I created an OS X Mountain Lion boot disk on a flash drive, put my new hard drive in a USB external dock, booted to the flash drive, partitioned and formatted the new drive (selecting GUID partition), and have tried and failed three times to restore from Time Machine, which is on a Firewire-connected drive. The error I get is that it's unable to create a restore disk.
I could reformat the new drive and try again, but is there something else I'm missing? For example, should I have left the new drive in the external dock, or should I move it to bay 1 and then try to restore, considering that latency is a possible issue or that Time Machine won't restore to a USB drive?

Why don't you install ML on it and then see?
Better yet use any of the 4 internal drive bays instead of USB - slow and terrrible place!
It does not matter where or what drive bay.
Unable to unmount drive.
CLONE your system - a couple times, pure Apple Mac OS once you have one and later for working copy and one before you install or apply updates or programs or otehr changes.
CCC carbon copy cloner - will create recovery partition when you clone a system.
I assume your flash drive works, not everyone is successful first shot.
I prefer a clean install to start with. Esp as you say your system was failing I don't like relying on the Time Machine for everything.

Need XP graphic driver for ATI HD2600 - Satellite A210

Hi,
I have same problem with same computer. I cant use XP, because I cant find right display driver for my graphic card HD2600.
I already downloaded couple drivers for my graphic card, but anyone work. When I start installation, it still come warning window with this text "Setup did not find driver compatible with your current hardware or oparating system." I have installed Windows XP profesional SP2.
I would like to change from Vista to XP, because Vista is real bulls...t (sorry for that word, but I really dont like that stupid OS).
Thank you

Hey guyes, nevermind it. I gave up "fight" with Toshiba. When I finally figured out how to install driver for graphic card, there came out another problem- for my notebook dosent exist driver for my chipset, so XP doesnt run correct, my DVD RW somwehre disappear and card reader doesnt work too. There was too many question which I didnt know answer, so I gave up.
And what about graphic driver? I figured out, that XP doesnt know HD2600, so during instalation I have to choose driver for HD2400. Then finally driver work.
Good luck
PS: Be carefull which computer you are trying to buy.
PS2: No more Vista!!!

Can I restore a new hard drive from a previous time machine back-up?

Hi there,
My MacBook Pro 13 inch is 4 years old.
The computer began to freeze/stop working, so I took it to an Apple care centre and they informed that my hard drive has crashed and has to be replaced.
Luckily, I backed up my old hard drive a few days before with an external hard drive using Time Machine. My question is: can I restore this new hard drive with my old time machine backup that is on my external hard drive? If so, how do I do this?
Thanks

Of course! If you couldn't, Time Machine would be rather worthless, now wouldn't it?
For instructions, see:
How do I restore my entire system?

The new Hyperion driver from VIA

has anyone used the new Hyperion Drivers from VIA: http://www.viaarena.com/ and is it usable for most VIA motherboards? (seems like a silly question, but I wanna make sure it does not ruin my KT3 Ultra MS-6380E M.B.)

Yes, I loaded on my KT4VL MB. I understand it only supports the VIA KT400 chip set. Seems stable. I am also running the version 1.7 BIOS to correct the CRC problems with the MSI KT4 series MB's.
Hope this answers your question.
