Re: 40TL938G - Toshiba Places problems

1. Video Places.
YouTube doesn't work, yet it is (still) present in Video Places.
It used to work until a while back, and I suspect it ceased working once Youtube Leanback service was apparently discontinued (by Youtube? or by Toshiba via software update?).
I've read a post on this forum suggesting that it is now advisable to go to www.youtube.com/tv in the built-in browser to be able to reach Youtube content. I've just attempted to do it, but the thing is the supplied open-browser in Toshiba Places does not support Flash player - so dead-end again! Moreover, when I went through Sign-in procedure (8-digit code in youtube.com/activate) I got "error - please try again later".
2. Social Places. Twitter doesn't seem to work either. It constantly reports "No tweets", which I know isn't true. New tweet sending dead too. Haven't tested yet Flickr. Luckily enough, Facebook does work!
Perhaps this kind of annoying shortcomings are inherent in a transition period (at the service providers and/or at Toshiba software development division) but it is a pity that users are not notified about it.
Because when a personal account in Toshiba Places was created by every user, we each checked "Toshiba may contact you by email" and there is even an Inbox placed in Toshiba Places.
My system information readings: Toshiba 2012 - 7.028.14.1 Jul 1 2013 - 87.8.97.9 - MBOOT Version: 00646225

News update.
I searched for previous firmware version on Toshiba server and found this link:
"Download Center model 40TL938G Firmware Update Version 7.0.27.19.1"
http://www.dl.toshiba.com/tsb-dtv/NA/GB/EN/40TL938G.html
I dowloaded 7_0_27_19_1_001-b.exe (114 MB), extracted tl938_745869.bin (115 MB, timestamp 06/14/2013) on a FAT16-formated USB stick, as per Toshiba instructions.
It was duly detected when I inserted the stick, the expected notification appeared "A software update is available. Do you wish to upgrade?", I clicked "Yes", then another notification: "Checking the latest firmware update available, please wait", and finally: "There is no update available at this time". Period.
I can only assume that, among other things, it checks the timestamp of the "upgrade" file, to make sure it is newer than the timestamp of current firmware - in my case 7.0.28.14.1 dated 1 July 2013. Sooo... bad luck!
It means that it is not possible to DOWNGRADE firmware on TL938G series via USB stick.
And back to square one in my quest to revive my Youtube @ Toshiba Places ...

Hi
Did you solve this issue?
Please check if you have the latest firmware installed.
Furthermore use the factory reset option and configure the internet connection again.

HTML Help window placement problem

Hi -
We just upgraded to R7 from X5. It seems that now, for our
newly generated Help, the HTML Help viewer will not right-align.
Even if I specify the maximum width in the Window Properties
dialog, when generated, the window only extends about 4/5 of the
available screen width and is LEFT aligned.
Our screens are 1024 x 768 and RoboHelp seems to understand
this because if I max out the window size in the Window Properties
dialog, the height shown = 767 and width = 1019.
Is anyone else experiencing this placement problem?
TIA

Hi, Jack,
> ... the HTML Help window properties dialog only accepts
hard coordinates (i.e. pixels).
> ...
> Unless someone knows differently, for HTML Help,
apparently you can't get the HTML
> Help viewer to appear right-aligned for all
screen/display configurations
Yes, this is correct on both counts. Because of limitations
in Microsoft's design of HTML Help, you cannot specify the
dimensions of the help window in anything other than pixels, and
you can only set the initial position of the window relative to the
left and top edges of the screen.
On the other hand, if you are calling the help file
programmatically from an application, there may be some scope for
controlling the position of the help window by using standard
Windows functions. This article provides a small amount of extra
information:

Internal server error while trying to link Facebook to Toshiba Places

I'm seeking for help regarding an issue i encountered while using my toshiba SMART tv. I'm unable to link my facebook account to my toshiba places account, it shows "Internal server error" while trying to link via the link given in the instruction in the email i received.
Can anyone please help?

*@ACE-*
In you case I would recommend checking for new firmware update and after the firmware update, the TV should be reset to the default settings.

Why Toshiba places is not working?

two days ago Toshiba Places stop working on my TV 40TL939. No changes in internet connection
Restering settings give no effect. Internet connection testing ok.
Is it TV bug or your sever down?

This was already reported in [this thread |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=75005] and therefore its not necessary to open new thread about the one and the same theme
Its looks like the service is temporally no available.
Probably server is down due to some maintenance.

Faces and Places Problem

Hello,
maybe someone could help me (apple telephone support could not):
Faces problem:
I made a smart-album to sort out all the "unnamed faces". But 92 pictures have a strange behaviour. They are tagged as "unnamed" although there is no rectangle in the picture to tag. I've allready used the repair-function and deleted all cache files (telephone support advised me to do both).
Places problem:
another strange thing is places. I've got a few pictures which have more than one "place" tagged. I don't know how this could happen. If you take a look at the screenshot you can see that I made a smart-album with 4 different places (PLACE - IS - XY - AND - PLACE - IS .....) to demonstrate that kind of behaviour

I've noticed that photos I had faces from iPhoto 09 are not syncing (I only had a few).
In the manual list, the faces are not an option to select them. Tried removing and resyncing library and no avail.

After a couple of months of having my new 3D TV Toshiba I finally decided to try out Toshiba places. Then I plugged the TV to internet and when to Toshiba Places menu, after clicking in TV Places and selecting the Guide option the screen went black and stop responding to the remote control. I tried to unplug it for several hours but when I plug it again the power button is green but the TV still doesn't respond and the screen is black

Places: problem with the State field in Aperture 3.03

hi,
I live in Europe and I have some problems in handling the State field in Aperture 3.03, because this field isn't always relevant in non North-American Countries.
The Google suggestions in Places don't always include the 4 fields (Location/City/State/Country). I have a lot of pictures taken in the Azores islands (Portugal) which don't show up in my Aperture map because the marker somehow doesn't write Azores in the State field.
Question #1: is there a way to eliminate the State field from Aperture, or at least to render it optional?
Question #2: if I manually create a New Location, what is the proper syntax to separate Location/City/State/Country in a way that will be understood by the Aperture database? I tried putting commas as a separator, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, same here. I cannot complete my registration process due to the same error. My state is correct, which is RS (two letters only). I don't know what else to do. Refer to the image below. Thanks!

Toshiba 32DT1U Problem

Good evening,
I've had the TV since April of 2011 and it's always been at least reasonable. I've had a few problems trying to set up little things but all have worked out fine eventually.
This problem ties in with wanting to use an aftermarket speaker system as my PS3's sound through the HDMI/PC Audio In jack in the back. I understood via the instruction manual that to do this, I had to select the HDMI 1's audio input to "Analog" in the Sound Menu. When doing this, no sound comes out. The speakers are ideal, a number of devices have worked fine through them so far and with the volume up, touching a finger to the jack yields the trademark buzzing one would expect from a powered speaker. I've also tried it with headphones, and a different set of speakers. Perhaps the HDMI/PC Audio In jack is dead and has been so since I purchased the TV? Technical support over the phone was reasonable but informed me I would've had to pay a fee of $29.95 to essentially have her read me the manual I had just read myself.
If a feature of my TV is dead before I've had the chance to use it -and I've tried every other aspect and way to wire the speakers involving this input, and all have failed- then I'm going to be incredibly dissatisfied and put off from choosing any Toshiba products in the future.
I'm hoping you'll be able to fix my issue.
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
Mike

A little late given the intervening year, but it took me 6 months to solve the problem. Went through the same issues you did, with the same $200 (now $325) extortion.
The problem is with the wifi adapter Toshiba is using. I have a new (purchased in July 2014) Satellite C55. It, and most other recent (last couple of years) Toshiba's use the Qualcomm Atheros AR956 wifi adapter. From a reading of the internet, this
has a failure rate of about 50%, showing all the symptoms you describe: no connection, spotty connection, slow connection, etc. One expensive way to resolve the problem would be to replace the card, but there are compatibility issues related to this that I
as a non-Geek find overwhelming.
The solution for me was to buy a $10, external, USB Wifi Adapter from Realtek. Installed fairly easily with a mini cd. The Realtek bypasses the internal adapter, which is now set to "off" The Realtek shows as a third wifi connection.
True, you lose one USB port, but the problem is completely resolved. Wifi is back up to speed for me, no drops, no variances, no more cursing at my desk.
There are other external adapters which may work as well, but for 10 bucks, the Realtek was worth the chance. I strongly recommend this as a solution.
Hey, Toshiba, given the incredibly bad failure rate of the Atheros, and the multitude of complaints on your own website, why are you still using it?

Toshiba 37SL833 Problems with Tun ON

Dear All,
I hope most of you are on the same page like me.
I purchased Toshiba 37SL833 TV here in Switzerland during March 2012.
Ever since the purchase we were quite happy with the LED TV (except the lag at Power ON).
I had 3 * HDMI + 3 USB + Lot of Connections and so everything were perfect until last Friday.
My TV subscription service (UPC Cablecom) asked to do a Digital Scan (DTV and ATV Scan) to get more Digital Channels (As they were offering more Digital Channels). I did start the DTV and ATV scan........and that's was the hell mistake I did.
The screen froze at 100% completion and was frozen for 15 minutes. So, we decided to turn OFF the TV and re-start the same.
Since this incident, we are unable to turn ON the TV.
LED 1 was Red and LED 2 was blank.
Since last days, we have frequent blinking of LED 2 in Green Color.
We were quite upset with the situation and today I took the TV to the Showroom (Conforama in Basel, Switzerland). The Customer Service said, it would be easy to buy a New TV instead of repairing the TV. I asked her, If she was not ashmed to propose this solution ?
I had paid 527 Swiss Francs for the TV and it was good for 2 years and now she wants to have another TV. I was she was really mad.
I did get in touch with Toshiba Service Center in Switzerland and they said it would cost 125 Swiss Francs for the visit of a Technician and then extra charges for the spare parts etc etc. This would easily exceed 350 Swiss Francs.
Paying 527 in 03/2012 and paying 350 again in 06/2014 : This is totally unfair situation.
What is Toshiba's opinion on this ?
If this would be a known problem, why has Toshiba not acted fast enough to care for this ?
I would be happy if someone from Toshiba get's in touch with me ?
There's no complete Power OFF button in REGZA nor there is any reset button to be able to reset the Settings to factory settings.
What a shame. Toshiba has killed the reputation of a Japanese company.
If the situation prolongs like this, we won't buy any Toshiba products for the generations to come.
An investment in TV should be good for at least 5 to 6 years.
Looking forward to get some feedback from Toshiba World HQ Technical Staff.
Regards.

Toshiba 22L1334G problems with HDMI

First of all, thanks everyone for trying to help me :)
Now let's get to the problem: i bought this Tv-Monitor yesterday and i've immediatly connected it to my PC (Video Card AMD R9 270X) with HDMI cable (The cable is rev. 1.4 and less then 1.5m).
The overall definition is very good, but i actually have 2 problems:
first, the colors are really saturated and i can't get them natural even setting the Video Card Values.
Second, the text with little font if it isn't black is very blurred and pixeled, very difficoult to read.
Searching o Google i found similiar problems for lot's of people, but they resolved the problems simply setting the HDMI as PC input.
Unfortunately they were using Samsung's or LG's displays and in my Toshiba one there isn't the setting to set the HDMI as PC signal.
What can i do to use this TV as monitor in a good way?

Hi
First of all I have to say that this Toshiba 22L1334G device isnt an PC monitor but its an TV which can be connected to the computer using the available RGB (VGA) port.
So in case you want to connect an computer to this TV and want to use it as an external monitor, you should use the available VGA port
I have to say that I had the same problems in the past with the blurred fonts using the HDMI port.
I connected had an monitor/TV combo device and connected my notebook to an external monitors HDMI port.
The blurred fonts were really a pain using office applications But I found a solution; my device supported an additional DVI port and I could connect my notebook to monitor using HDMI-to-DVI cable.
My other monitor supports from another manufacturer supports additional settings to change the font sharpness so I can use the HDMI port.

Decimal place problem in smartforms..

Hi All,
I my smart forms i am displaying a quantity filed, but itz displaying with 3 decimal places. But i need to hide the decimal places. I try to use formating option &symbol(.N)& but itz giving error while calling the smart forms.
Plz help me...
Regards,
Pavan.M

Hi,
I've yet to find any SAP documentation or training material the recommends using the table's own header as the Smartforms work area. I have however found it causing unusual problems in the generated function module.
That said, I've tried reproducing your problem and have not been able to. You could try defining a work area and seeing if that helps.

Simple image placement problem

I just recnetly upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and have a crazy
problem that I don't understand. I'm unable to add picutres
side-by-side. I don't quite understand what is happenening but when
I try and add two images side by side it forces the other down
below it. It doesn't matter how much space is availble or the size
of the images. Right now I'm having to create tables to place them
into but I think that is a terrible solution and I never had this
issue with MX.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paste & Paste in Place problem

Hi there,
Recently i have these problem in the following description:
1- Create a new documet.
2- Draw a recangle frame on a page.
3- Copy the frame, and when i go to the other page on the same document the paste command is grayed.
Another problem:
1- Copy empty rectangle frame
2- Go to other page, when i paste the frame is filled with a content (fake content)
Also when i copy an item and try to paste it in place command it's not paste in same place.
I tried troube shooting
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
but there's no solution
I tried Creative Suite Cleaner and reinstall and install indesign but all of these it's not solve the problem.
Indesign CS6 8.0.1
Windows 64bit

Ahem; yes…
Sometimes I should read more carefully.
In the meantime I could have a look at Shlomit's InDesign document.
I think, what he is seeing is not related to the OP's problem, but an issue in itself I can already observe in InDesign CS3.
Something "bad" will happen to the positioning of objects copied from master spreads by "Paste In Place", if the overall width of all pages left from spine is not equal to the overall width of pages right from spine. The pasted (in place) objects will move by half of the value the overall page widths will differ.
Either in positive x-direction, if the violation of symmetry (the wider side) is on the left side of the spine, or in negative x-direction, if the violation of symmetry is on the right side of the spine. It's not important, if the binding is LTR or RTL.
Still I have to test a bit, to see if that hypothesis is sustainable…
What is working alright:
Overriding or detaching objects from the applied master pages.
That will work without seeing a shift.
Uwe
