Portege R500 - Cannot find DVD playback and DVD writer software?

We've got some Portege R500 notebooks and putting our corporate image on them fine.
I can't find the DVD playback sofware and the DVD writer software on the download site, is it available? It comes pre-installed on the machine but we don't want to use the image it comes with.
thanks

> This doesn't make sense; the image it comes with is not suitable for our environment as we use a standard image with standard applications etc. We have >paid for the DVD playback and writer software as part of the cost of the notebook surely so it's frustrating we can't use it! Why is this?
You paid for the notebook and for the *OEM version* (don't mix with full version) of different software (OS, WinDVD, etc..).
The mentioned programs and software is not Toshiba own product but it belongs to the 3rd party. This software can be used ONLY on your notebook.
So if Toshiba would allow this software for a download then everyone on this planet could download it and used it on different computers. And this is forbidden
Therefore the software is coupled with recovery CD

    Hi there, I have been experiencing this problem on and off with various media types (originally I had issues burning to any disc - cd or dvd- I upgraded to Snow leopard, and the problem was fixed).
    Now i'm having issues READING home-burned DVD-R's, DVD-RW's ( I avoid using DVD+R's). Commercial dvd's load fine. I can burn to blank DVD fine. I have cleaned the internal DVD drive with a VCD cleaner, and tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
    I use an LG dvd recorder at home. The discs I use are SONY DVD-R and DVD-RW. These play without error on the LG dvd player.
    However when I try to load the burned discs into the mac, the drive makes a whirring sound and spits out the discs within 10 secs. These are new discs with no scratches etc. I have tried setting the CD&DVD system prefs differently (opening the dvd in disk utility, finder etc) to no avail. I tried both finalizing the discs and un-finalizing them on the DVD player.
    This is driving me nuts as I am a film student and need to access my burned dvds!
    note: I recently had my computer serviced in the last 6months as the hard-drive failed (I live in Christchurch, NZ and the computer was damaged in the Sept 2010 quake). The comp was relatively undamaged in the more recent Feb 22nd 2011 quake, but because of the shaking, could there have been substantial damage to the internal disc drive in this case??
    any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

    Not sure what else may be the cause of the issue; but if there's
    a chance of other hardware damage after an earthquake, it
    may be wise to have someone check over the computer.
    {I've asked this post be moved to the Intel-based iMac forum, yet the issue
    is likely a generic one not limited to a build model vintage of computer. My
    name's avatar is of the representative PowerPC iMac G4, of this forum area.}
    For general disc burning, I use a small free-ware utility that makes it clear
    what I may be getting; of course it makes quick work and the other methods
    function correctly on my Macs... see http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/ and use
    it with the setting for it to make discs that will work in Mac + PC. Worth a look.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

    I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?  I do nto care about anythign else.
    Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
    Backup iPad
    Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
    restart Vista Laptop
    upgrade to newest iOS
    I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
    at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
    I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
    I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times.  The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
    I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
    They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
    Your help is much appreciated

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    Hi Stan,
    I just want the user to be able to run my video clips either on a

    Hi why I can't download itunes on my hubby's laptop?It showing an error message "windows cannot find C:\document and settings\pistolero\mymusic... We have itunes before and he accidentally delete it..

    ... We have itunes before and he accidentally delete it..
    If Windows cannot find then the path you referenced (C:\document and settings\pistolero\mymusic...) then it is gone.
    Download and install iTunes again: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    Once iTunes is installed you can download your purchased music again. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store. Here is the procedure:
    Launch iTunes.
    Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

  • DVD+R and DVD-R 101: An Explanation for Beginners

    I found this information and believe that it could be of help to other beginners like me. I Googled: DVD-R vs DVD+R ?
    There are other sites, but here is one which explains step-by-step. Titled:
    *DVD+R and DVD-R 101: An Explanation for Beginners*
    Here:http://netforbeginners.about.com/cs/multimedia/a/DVD_explained.htm
    ~L

    I only use DVD+R (using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09).
    I have found DVD+R to be more reliable than DVD-R. The only disadvantage to DVD+R is that DVD players manufacture before 2003 may not play them.
    DVD-R is not as good as DVD+R for three reasons: inferior error correction, inferior ‘wobble’ tracking, and the fact its data writing methods look like an un-needed halfway point between CD-R and DVD+R.
    For a DVD burner to track where it is on the disc, it uses three things: the ‘wobble’ of the data track (where it actually wobbles back and forth instead of in a straight line) to tell where it is in the track, the position of the track to tell where it is on the disc, and some additional information on the disc to tell where the track begins and ends.
    On DVD-R, they tried to solve the problem with something called ‘pre-pits’ where spikes in the amplitude of the wobble appear due to pits fully out of phase with the rest of the track (ie, between two spirals of the track, where there is no data). This can be viewed as a simple improvement over CD-R as it makes it easier to track the wobble.
    On a DVD+R, however, they came up with a much better method. Instead of changing the frequency of the wobble, or causing amplitude spikes in the wobble, they use complete phase changes. Where CD-R’s and DVD-R’s methods make you choose between either easy wobble tracking or easy ATIP reading, DVD+R’s method makes it very easy to track the wobble, and also very easy to encode data into the wobble.
    Now, the third item on the list: how DVD+R discs burn better. The ATIP/pre-pit/ADIP stores information about optimum power control settings. This information is basically formulas stating how much output power is needed, what the laser startup power should be, and other pieces of information you require to properly burn a DVD.
    In addition to the optimum power control profiles, DVD+R also gives four times more scratch space for the drive to calibrate the laser on; more space can only improve the calibration quality. So, in short, DVD+R media exists to simply produce better burns and protect your Movie.

  • DVD discs and DVD cases suppliers?

    Hello Folks,
    Do you know of any websites with a comprehensive list of DVD authoring supply vendors that sell in bulk or for a wholesale type of price?
    For instance: to purchase good blank DVD's and DVD cases?
    Do you know of any good reputable suppliers yourself?
    Thanks!

    well to get a proper responce it would help if we knew where in the world you were; Paris Dusseldorf Rome?
    I have a few local suppliers if you want to pop down to Leith

  • I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie to MPEG -4 Video both worked well on my iMac but will not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD RW and DVD-RW.  Any suggestions?

    I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie using MPEG-4 Video.  Both played well on my iMac but would not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs.  I have tried other 'codecs' DV-PAL; DVCPRO-PAL; DVCPRO50-PAL; AIC; and finally share to iDVD.  iDVD works on both my iMac and DVD Recorder but the picture is very poor with major shimmering which is unwatchable.  Can anyone assist? The other codecs I used either do not pay on my video recorder or fail when I play them back on my iMac.  I am at a loss as to what I can do.  I am from the UK so using PAL is essential.

    If the source video is interlaced, you may have problems using iMovie. It de-interlaces everything on output which can cause picture to look strange.  Final Cut Pro X supports interlaced video, but it costs a lot more.
    Standard DVD Players don't support H.264 or MPEG4.  You might want to look at this article on transferring HD video to DVD.  I wrote this article mainly for Final Cut Pro, but many of the same principles apply.

    I have the lates version of Itunes

    I have managed to figure out how to solve this problem, after looking around I saw a lot of people kept saying makesure it is list view however this still did not work, I found the only way for me get these buttons back was to change the Movie to a TV Show and only then did the "Next" and "Previous" button appear. Right Click> Get Info > Options > Media Kind and then Select TV Show, this is extremely inconvienent but the only way that I found that has worked so far.
    Hope this works for you too!!
