Portege Z930 - Few questions after downgrade from Win8 to Win7

Hello,
I recently purchased Z930 PT234E with Win8 pre-installed. Due to company policy, I needed to downgrade it to Win7 Pro 32Bit (deleted all partitions and created one partition as normally should be done). I downloaded all drivers for OS and installed. And everything started after that;
1- I'm trying to install TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager but returns with warning "+Before you start setting up TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Client, copy an action masthead file for TOSHIBA Smart Client Manager Server to the setup folder.+" and I don't have that file and installation fails. *Where can I have this file for a succesful installation?*
2- You have +hwsetup+ software preinstalled on Win8 but I couldn't find that sw / driver, even for Win8 at download pages of Toshiba *Where can I get this sw as it gives ability to configure BIOS without waiting for boot?*
3- I see that the battery is +used+ while I left my device on hibernate. I unplug it from power adaptor after %100 charged and hibernate it. But after few hours, when I turn it on, I see it is %91! I susbect it is becuase of "+sleep and charge+" option is enabled from BIOS but I need to wait for next boot. *Any comments?*
4- If I purchase the recovery media online from Toshiba, will this help me to install Win8 as in first boot and create the deleted partitions as in "+*factory state*+". In other wprds, will this recovery media will set my z930 to factory state with OS and partitions. +OK, I assume this media is a DVD and I know that I need to create a bootable USB from this media...No worries :)+ .
Really thanks for reading and comments / replies :)

This file is not known to me and usually something like that should not appear if you would install the software in the right order.
Before you would start to install any of the Toshiba software you have to install Toshiba Value Added package for Windows 7!
Only if this VAP has been installed and notebook rebooted, you could follow with other tools.
> 2- You have hwsetup software preinstalled on Win8 but I couldn't find that sw / driver, even for Win8 at download pages of Toshiba Where can I get this sw as it gives ability to configure BIOS without waiting for boot?
System driver package which is available for Win 8 is NOT available for Win 7.
Instead of system driver you have to installed VAP!

Any comments? The Sleep & Charge option as well as other options like Wake Up on LAN or keyboard may discharge the battery. So in case you dont want that, disable this in BIOS

Intel HD Driver issues when downgrading from Win8 to Win7

Hi Guys,
I currently have a bunch of HP Pro3500MT machines which have come preinstalled with Win8 on these and after checking with HP they stated that these are compatible to be downgraded to run on Win7.
The install works fine up until the point where the Intel HD drivers are installed and this then causes the pc to BSOD with and IRQ is not equal error. (I will add the dump files shortly)
Has anyone experienced this with these machines?
This question was solved.

Hi:
I have seen instances on other HP business desktop PC's where this happens when you install W7 (non SP1), and then try to install the drivers before updating W7 to SP1.
If this is what you did, the solution is to install W7, update it to SP1 before installing any drivers and that should work.
If this is not your situation, then I would try the Intel HD video driver directly from Intel.

Downgrading from Win8 to Win7 envy 17-j021nr drivers needed

I have a customer who is running some software that doesn't like win8 so I am downgrading his new envy17 to win7. I've managed to get all of the other drivers installed and working but it doesn't seem to matter which additional drivers I try to download from other models I can't seem to get the realtek wired lan to work, the usb controller, or the synaptics touchpad. Does anyone know which drivers will work for this model.
Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

Hi:
You should be able to use all of the drivers and software from this model, except the wireless.
When you go to install the graphics, you have to install the Intel HD graphics driver, reboot and then install the nVidia graphics driver.
DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE DOWNLOADS FROM THIS LINK
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6521...

Downgrading from win8 to win7

I want to degrade from windows8 to windows7 .... but i m having a hard time installing the graphics driver as this laptop has a dual graphics. Kindly help me with the drivers.

What is the installed graphics module? If it is one of those in the following list:
AMD Radeon HD 7670M
AMD Radeon HD 7520G
AMD Radeon HD 7660G + 7670M Dual Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 7640G + 7670M Dual Graphics
Then you can use the switchable graphics driver from the g6-2005ax notebook. It has the same chipset on the systemboard as yours and that will make it compatible. The direct link is the following URL

Pci network adapter on Thinkcenter EDGE 3484-jpg - win7 downgraded from win8

I need add an extra nic on Thinkcenter EDGE 3484-jpg, computer is natively win8 and uefi boot downgraded (from lenovo) to win7 pro. Tring 2 different network controller pci-e 16x - intellinet - startech pex100s systems freeze while loading bios; removing nic i can access uefi bios but i don't find any option to disable/enable pci-e slot (also disable uefi bios). With same computer model bought some month ago (born with win7 and old-style bios) i have no such problems. Lenovo phone helpdesk told me the network card are not compatible, but they don' t know any pci-e nic who run on this hw. Do you have any hint?

Hi:
Yes, you can burn the files to a CD and use those to install the drivers you need.
You need to install the AMD Chipset and USB 3 drivers which are not on your notebook's support page.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=cp_117181_1
Download and install both of these drivers for the usb...
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_139250_1&swEnvOid=40...
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_133037_1&swEnvOid=40...
Reboot after each installation.
PCI E/D Controller: Not on your notebook's support page.
Run this file and then manually install the driver.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=vc_133833_1
To manually install the driver, go to the device manager and click on the PCI E/D Controller needing the driver.
Click on the driver tab, click on update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66974. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install. Then reboot.
Ethernet Controller:
Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver
File name: sp69625.exe
PCI Device:
Realtek Card Reader Driver
File name: sp69619.exe
I don't know what model wireless card your model uses, so if you still need the wireless card driver (Network Controller), please do the following steps so I can figure that out and then I will post the link to the wireless card driver you need...
To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

A few questions on switching from my powermac G5 to a 17" macbook pro

Hi, picking up at used macbook pro on monday(Apple MacBook Pro MA611LL/A 17" Notebook PC (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive)
I'm going to use it as my main machine with an external keyboard and mouse hooked up, along with an external 23" cinema display in extended desktop mode. Then when I need to work somewhere else I'll just unplug it and go.
A few questions from a new macbook user:
• What's the best way to migrate all my apps, data, photos, etc. Should I use migration assistant? I'm a web designer with dozens of small apps that I may not have the installers for but would like to do a fresh install of the ones I have like CS3. With migration assistant can I just pick some apps to move over, or do they all move over and does it transfer the registration info in case I misplaced certain serial numbers?
• I'll be selling my desktop, I know you can only install CS3 on one machine, how do I get the CS3 "unactivated" on my Desktop so I can install it on the macbook pro? I own the copy of CS3 and have the dvd's and such.
• I have a TON of Dreamweaver sites defined, whats the simpleist way to transfer the site info over so I don't have to track down all of that ftp info for every site?
• I have over a year of Time Machine backups on my current desktop machine, do I transfer those over somehow so my macbook reads them or is it just better to start over with a fresh time machine backup?
• Will I have any issues with my Iphone or appletv with itunes thinking I'm authorizing a new computer but I'm really only going to be having one machine?
• The person I'm buying it from is doing a clean install of the system, when I get it should I go ahead and do a fresh Leopard install just to make sure its done properly, and if so is there are there "best practices" on doing that?
• Any other tips or advice?
Thanks in advance, I know thats a lot of questions?

Error while installing SBO Server after downgrading from PL12 to PL04

Hi,
Please help. I need to downgrade from SAP Business One 2005A PL12 to PL04. I removed all SBO components and deleted the SBO Common database.
When trying to install again, Server Tools installs ok, but the SBO Server installation fails.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Jose

Jose,
I am not sure of the error that you are currently getting, but a common issue that can case an install or re-install and issue is that you not only need to remove the SBO Common and company databases using the SQL Enterprise Manager, but you also need to and or should check that after deleting the databases through the Enterprise manager that they are still not residing on the hard disk. You need to check and if needed delete these databases from the SQL\Data folder on the hard drive and then you should be able to re-install. If you still have a problem, you should log a message with SAP Support as the forum you have posted your question in is for questions related to the Business One SDK. The question you have posted is an installation question.
HTH,
Eddy

Can't find photos after downgrading from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

I downgraded from Lion to Snow Leopard as my comuter was really slow (probably right at the min requirements for the new OS)
I can't locate my photos from my Time Machine. How do I access these? I have reinstalled everything back to Lion to try to get them off my Time Machine as it currently won't let me go back in time past the date when I down graded to Snow Leopard..
I am a dead man if I don't find the photos of our kids....

A good ressource for Time Machine questions is Pondini's Time Machine - Troubleshooting
Have a look at the section Time Machine - Troubleshooting E2. I can't see some backups
as it currently won't let me go back in time past the date when I down graded to Snow Leopard..
You probably now have two different Time Machine backups - after the downgrade TM started a new one. Have you inspected your backup disk in the Finder and looked what backups are there?
You should see a folder "Backups.backup.db" and inside the current backups for the computers you are syncing. Is there more than one? Open the folders and look at the dates. Is there any backup from last year?

Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom after downgrading from Vista

Hi everybody.
I successfully downgraded my T61p from Vista to XP Pro SP2 using the downgrade cd-roms send by Lenovo.
Everything seems to work well. I downloaded all drivers. No problem.
But I recently installed a rather old software that I frequently used on my old A31p. This software (a Microsoft program !) has automatically modified some files from XP Pro without any autorization.
Once it was done, I was asked by the system to insert the original Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom to repair this modification.
Of course, the (Vista to XP) downgrade cd-rom set was not recognized by the Thinkpad as the original XP set.
An original cd-rom which I finally don't have !
I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful.
Where could I find the XP Pro SP2 cd-rom corresponding to the downgraded system ?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Regards.
J.L.

Thinkpad A31p - T42p - T61p - TP Tablet

James,
thanks for your answer.
But I wrote on my first post "I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful."
Thus, I don't see any difference between an original Microsoft Windows XP2 Pro SP2 version cd-rom and one created by burning a downloaded version of the OS. An original was not recognized, what would a copy do ?
If possible, it might be probably better to create an XP Pro SP2 cd-rom from the "Rescue and Recovery" files which were reinstalled when downgrading from Vista to XP. (I hate the word "downgrade" : while I was doing it, I had the feeling I was upgrading my Thinkpad !)
I have been using for several years (and still use) an A31p (Since 2002, 8 to 10 hours a day) and a T42p. IMHO, the T61p is the same category of "great" notebooks. Thinkpads are really the best notebooks I have ever used. I noted no significant difference between IBM and Lenovo Thinkpads.

Upgrade Safari 1.2 to 1.3.1 after downgrade from Tiger to Panther

I wished to restore performance to my G3 iBook by downgrading from Tiger to Panther, and have been successful with that and have restored all apps to Panther versions except for Safari. The downgrade (archive and install) left Safari 2.0 on my HD for some reason, which of course wouldn't launch under 10.3.9. I dragged Safari 2 to the trash, downloaded Safari 1.2 which installed fine. However when I try to upgrade now to 1.3.1, I am told by the installer that the software cannot be used with the disc volume (the system volume) I choose to install to.
(BTW, invoking Software Update says my software is all up to date, even though I'm only on Safari 1.2.)
I've seen the other threads which have suggested removing Safari pkg receipts from /library/receipts, but this hasn't helped me in this case; I can't find any thread that had a successful resolution yet. Anything else anyone can suggest? Many thanks.

Mark:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can try using Pacifist to extract Safari from your install disk and install it. You may then be able to upgrade it more easily, although I can't promise that for sure.
Unless you are absolutely wedded to Safari, I find Camino to be at least as good (I think better) as Safari, and looks almost identical, so that there should not be much of a learning curve. I also use Firefox and especially like it for the measure of security it provides.
Please do not hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Help (please) w/ Full System Restore after downgrading from Snow to Leopard

Yes. I should have created a separate partition, cloned the drive, etc…. But everything was working so well I figured an upgrade to SL would make things amazing. Wrong.
So I downgraded from Snow Leopard to Leopard, using a clean Erase and Install from the OSX DVD that came with my Mac. Told by an AppleCare techie that I could restore my system from a Time Machine BackUp, I was confident that when the install successfully completed I would be able to restore from the TM Backup I made PRIOR TO installing Snow Leopard.
However, the 'restore system from time machine…' option that came up at the end of the Leopard installation told me I only have one TM backup, the latest one made under Snow Leopard (which obviously cannot be used to restore a system now running on Leopard.
When I log into the OS, I can open TM and choose the last 10.5 (Leopard) backup I made, but it seems to only let me restore the 'Macintosh HD' as a folder. So here is where I am stuck:
How can I restore my system - now on a clean install of Leopard - to the last TM backup I made under the selfsame OS. {Sorry if this is a simpleton question - I just really do not want to ** anything up}.

Thanks, Pondini -
Good to know the AppleCare rep. I talked to (apparently) knew nothing about time machine or how to restore a system from it. I was given nothing but wrong and bad advice…
Yeah, unfortunately that seems to happen on occasion. They don't seem to have access to decent info on things they don't understand, or just "wing it" or something.
Anyway, the erase and install happened, so at least my system is 'fresh'. I booted from the OSX DVD, went into the Utilities menu, found the TM Back-up I wanted, et voila. But it seems I could have bypassed the whole erase/install thing and just restored with the BackUp from TM.
So I must say, to Apple's credit, that TM works extremely well, and exactly as described; couldn't have been more painless (not what I'm used to with computers, at all).
That's why you got a Mac! (They're certainly not perfect, but they're pretty good!).
Glad it's sorted out, and thanks for the star!

My iPod touch 5th generation data lost after downgrade from ios 8 to ios 7.1.2

I have just downgraded my iPod touch 5th generation from ios 8 to ios 7.1.2 . after downgrading, all my data (apps, music, document) in the iPod touch were lost, but photos were manage to recover. when I connect to the computer, it show that others in the capacity column used up almost 18 GB of memory. What is in others? Why it used up so much memory? How can I recover my lost data?

You may not be able to restore the data since when you downgrade from a backup made with a new iOS version data does not transfer.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Iphoto problems after downgrade from Yosemite to OSX 10.8.5

After a successfull downgrade from Yosemite to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion my ( 'old Yosemite' ) iPhoto backup is not compatible with iPhoto reinstall.
Is there a way to repair or fix this problem?
My patience involving the dramatic Yosemite 'upgrade' is tested to the max I need to say.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Yosemite uses a newer iPhoto version than OS X Mountain Lion, so it is normal that you cannot use your iPhoto library in Mountain Lion again.
Maybe you will not like what I am going to tell you, but have you tried a Yosemite clean install instead of an upgrade? A lot of users have reported problems with the upgrade to Yosemite, and a clean installation fixes all these problems, because you are going to format the hard drive and install OS X Yosemite as new. I recommend you to try this.
