Portege R400-600 - Access to the harddive is extremely slow

Any Advice? The driver is "up to date", but it still takes ages. MS Outlook 2007 often hangs for a minute etc.

The Portg R400 is a tiny unit and if Im not mistaken the small 1.8 HDD supports an 4200rpm speed with the IDE (ATA-6) interface.
The access time should not be very long
But you should know that many additional applications are preinstalled on this notebook to control the different R400 features. All or most of these programs are loaded at the beginning and run in the OS background. This stresses the CPU and the memory and therefore many different programs would need a little bit longer to start the own service.

I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud.

How can I speed up logins using MacBooks to a Windows Server 2008 environment. Logging onto the network is extremely slow. We are using a wireless connection to the network in classrooms

I work in an Education environment with Windows Server 2008. I am trying to join our Macbooks to Active Directory. They are joined but the login is extremely slow. I read that this is because of a possible problem with an OS update.

Check the ethernet link speed when connected directly to the TC.. if you are plugged into the modem direct.. and comparing that with wireless on the TC we have no way of knowing where the issue is.
There is some issue related by someone when the TC was bridged.
It is extremely hard to impossible to know what is causing wireless slow down.. needs lots more info.
What is the link speed?
Set manually and try different channels.
The series 1 cannot do 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously but test on 5ghz and see what the speed is like. You will need to be in the same room as the TC.

Your profile says OS 10.5.8, Snow Leopard is 10.6.
After installing Snow Leopard, did you do a software update? Apple menu / Software update ..
If you have not run it yet, do so. It will give you the highest versions of Snow Leopard and Safari. That might help.

After installing iOS7 the typing is extremely slow!!!

After installing iOS7 the typing is extremely slow!!! It can take minuters to type a word and if I use the backspace it just dies and it takes forever for it to start working again. This is happening only on the apple applikations - not in Other apps (Facebook, instagram, etc). It makes writing maila and messages impossible - pleas help!

Best regards Sofia Elliot

Go to settings> iCloud turn off documents and data and restart your phone. It should resolve this.

Portege R400-600 - Windows Vista Ultimate - Features On/Off

. Windows Vista Ultimate - Control Panel / Programs & Features / Turn Windows Feature On / Off - it's impossible to turn anything on, as it always ends up with an error "An error has occurred during the installation."

> Thanks for the answer. I just use some "advanced programs". Complete reinstall would take about 2 days > - that's how long it took me to configure everything.
I see that you don't use the Toshiba original image and the OS was configured manually.
Seems this could be a reason why some OS settings don't functions properly.
If the OS from Toshiba recovery CD works great then you have simply installed some 3rd applications which have a bad influence on the single options or/and the configured the OS not correctly...
This is everything what I can suggest

WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

Why does both the firefox and the plug-in use over 1gb ram of my computer memory? It is making the whole computer extremly slow and you should do something about it, or make it possible to download FireFox 3,6

FireFox 3,6 was only using 400mb or so. When I got FireFox 4 it all have been much more than that, almost everytime I use firefox. The plugin is using more than it should, no matter how few tabs I have open it still will not make the number go any lower. I can almost not use my computer because of this.

Don't know if it is your problem, but your Adobe Flash plug-in at 10.2.159.* is not up to date. You current one today is 10.3.181.22 for Firefox users. And not being up-to-date with Flash has a lot of problems.

The OS is extremely slow/frozen

So, out of nowhere my laptop just froze. I tried doing a hard restart, and it took about 30 minutes to get to the login window and another 20 to actually load the desktop and the dock. Then it completely hung up when I was trying to look in Library/Caches. The beach ball is spinning for hours now, the finder won't populate with content, screen saver doesn't come on, and I can't force quit (I am not running any apps anyway). This happened after GF went to a Jewel/Osco website on Camino Browser. She said she accepted some certificate, and/or checked her Yahoo Mail.
I am at a loss as to what to do. I only have CD's for 10.3, and my drive will only read DVD's. Besides, I don't want to lose a whole bunch of files if I just zero-write and reinstall. HELP!

Have you been hearing any unusual noises, like clicking? If you can free up some more space to about 5GB free (be sure to empty Trash), here's some other things to do.

Why is the Yosemite download EXTREMELY slow?

I have the fastest internet available in my area and I usually download movies and other files of similar size to the Yosemite upgrade in just a few hours. When starting the download of Yosemite the download time was estimated at roughly 5 days 20 hours. I download digital copies of movies from apple all the time with no problem so why is Yosemite taking so long to download? I have confirmed that it's not a problem with my internet connection and my Macbook does not have connectivity issues either. Someone please tell me that OS X Yosemite will finish downloading sometime in this lifetime!

you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

Recently update iOS 7 on iPhone 5c. now the keyboard is extremely SLOW!! SO frustrating. Help?

does anyone know how to fix a slow keyboard problem on the 5c?

Delete background apps from memory and Reset. Press home button twice quickly, then slide all the window panes upwards to delete from memory. Then Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to restart itself.

Portege R400 - how to get fingerprint device to resume HDD unlocking

Portege R400 Model PPR40E-00901LEN
I have had this laptop since new in (approx) 2007. I set the BIOS and HDD passwords and the biometric device to unlock BIOS, HDD and Vista. This has worked fine till recently. Following an incident when someone tried to crack into the machine it will no longer unlock the HDD
The attacker has confessed to using backspace to circumvent the fingerprint scan, correctly guessed the BIOS password, and went on to make several attempts to enter the HDD password.
Now when I try to access the machine using the fingerprint scanner, it unlocks the BIOS ok, so it clearly still remembers me. However it does not unlock the HDD. Apparenlty the fact that 3+ failures to enter the HDD text password forces text entry of this password rather than biometric. At least it seems to be something like that.
My questions are
1) in these circumstances, has the BIOS told the biometric device to forget the HDD password?
2) Or is the piometric device still aware of my HDD password but the BIOS is not asking it?
3) If 3 or anything similar, so that password is still in the biometirc device, how do I tell the device to resume delivering that password?
Please note, I cannot get into BIOS at present, because failing to unlock the HDD prevents the POST from completing.
Of course, I know what I should really do is to type in the HDD password; sadly in four years or so I have forgotten it. I expect I can get into BIOS if I physically remove the HDD, but wonder if there is anything else I need to do first to avoid making things worse.
Thanks in hope
River~~

hi Akuma.
Please, I know you are trying to help me, and it would be churlish of me to seem ungrateful, but...
I already know that the copy of the HDD password in the HDD is inaccessible. But this is a Q about the biometric device (fingerprint rreader), not directly about the HDD.
There is (or certainly has been) a second copy of the HDD password stored in the laptop for the last four years, in the biometric unit. That is how it logs me in.I know the biometric has not been wiped entirely because it still logs me in to the BIOS ok.
I am trying to ask about *the* *biometric* *copy* of the HDD password, not about wiping the password *from* the HDD itself.
Q1: Is there a way to tell the biometric to resume providing the HDD password to the HDD without having to re-enter the HDD password to the biometric?
Q2: If I power up with the HDD removed,, will this cause the biometric unit to erase the copy of the HDD password WHICH IT STILL HOLDS? Please only answer this sub-question if you definitively know the answer
Q3: does anyone know definitively that the BIOS tells the biometric to wipe its own copy of the HDD password when there are three failed attempts to enter the HDD password from the keyboard?
regards, River~~

The error 600 occurred in the current database connection "LCA".

Hi All,
User is executing job /SAPAPO/TS_REALIGN_COPY in background, as soon as the job is released its failing with runtime error:
I check the Note 1126394 but not relevant.

Exception              CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR
Date and Time          18.08.2011 00:03:39
Short text
     An SQL error occurred when executing Native SQL.
What happened?
     The error 600 occurred in the current database connection "LCA".
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
How to correct the error
    Database error text........: "POS(1) Work rolled back: BAD_ALLOCATION in
     SAPTS_COPY_DA"
    Database error code........: 600
    Triggering SQL statement...: "EXECUTE PROCEDURE SAPTS_COPY_DATA"
    Internal call code.........: "[DBDS/NEW DSQL]"
    Please check the entries in the system log (Transaction SM21).
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR" "CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR"
    "/SAPAPO/SAPLOM_TIMESERIES" or "/SAPAPO/LOM_TIMESERIESU20"
    "/SAPAPO/OM_TS_DATA_COPY"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
       Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
       Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "/SAPAPO/SAPLOM_TIMESERIES" - in
     "/SAPAPO/OM_TS_DATA_COPY".
    The main program was "/SAPAPO/TS_RLG_COPY_SINGLE ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 57
    of the (Include) program "/SAPAPO/LOM_TIMESERIESU20".
    The program "/SAPAPO/SAPLOM_TIMESERIES" was started as a background job.
    Job Name....... "/SAPAPO/TS_REALIGN_COPY"
    Job Initiator.. "CIBERNLAPO2"
    Job Number..... 00015100
    The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR" occurred
     in
    procedure "/SAPAPO/OM_TS_DATA_COPY" "(FUNCTION)", but it was neither handled
     locally nor declared
    in the RAISING clause of its signature.
    The procedure is in program "/SAPAPO/SAPLOM_TIMESERIES "; its source code
     begins in line
    1 of the (Include program "/SAPAPO/LOM_TIMESERIESU20 ".
Kindly suggest any notes or is any setting needs to be modified.
Regards,
Kaasi

Hello Ada,
the job was aborted due:
Database error text........: "POS(1) Work rolled back: BAD_ALLOCATION in
     SAPTS_COPY_DA"
    Database error code........: 600
    Triggering SQL statement...: "EXECUTE PROCEDURE SAPTS_COPY_DATA"
    Internal call code.........: "[DBDS/NEW DSQL]"
    Please check the entries in the system log (Transaction SM21).
From the posted dump.
Was it lack of OMS heap memory, memory leaking, program error or huge data selection for application run it's not clear. It will be best for SAP customer to create the SAP message and get SAP support when application canceled due Database error BAD_ALLOCATION in LCA routine.
Regards, Natalia Khlopina
