Re: I lose my screen on Satellite A while playing a movie or game

Hi.
I have very unusual problem here.
When my computer is plugged and I try to open movie, game or pic I lose my screen (I get different mix of colors) and the computer is locked.
But when it works with battery it acts normally, no problems.
I don't know what is it about.
Is it about VGA or sth about power.
I would be glad if you help me.
Thank you.

Hi
> what exactly ASP is can you inform me pls
ASP = authorized service partner
> You said it may be hardware, I think that too
Maybe its a hardware issue but the notebook should be tested with the Toshiba original preinstalled OS and the BIOS should be updated too.
> But I have a info that Toshiba has 1 year no payment guarantee,
Yes, the notebooks are covered by warranty. Standard warranty is one year but if you register it on the Toshiba website you get additional one year; together 2 years warranty coverage

Looking for an App to Lock the Screen while Playing a Movie

I've been looking for either an app to lock the screen (not turn the screen off like the button on top of the phone) while playing a movie or a media player that will prohibit you from pressing buttons while a movie is playing. The reason I'm looking for this is my son likes to watch movies on my iPhone while we're in the grocery store, but I spend more time restarting the movie or navigating back to the iPod app and restarting the movie than he spends watching it! He likes to press the "done" button or home button which ends the movie. So an app that would prohibit that would be GREAT, but I haven't been able to find one so far. Any suggestions?

An app will not be able to do this.
Sorry.

Touch screen doesnt work only while playing music.

While playing music, the touch screen does not respond. I can only change songs by locking, then double tapping the home button. The touch screen works fine for all apps and home screen. I can't change albums, songs or anything. I have not dropped the Ipod or exsposed it to water. Have no insurance on it. Thank you in advance!

Don't play songs!
If it has never been jailbroke, the following may help.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod screen goes to sleep while playing

Hello,
I have what I believe is either the 6th or 7th generation iPod 120gig. I just picked it up used and it is in good condition.
The problem I have is, while I have it playing on my Bose system, the songs play, but I can't see what song is actually playing like my 1st generation iPod does. This one, the screen goes to sleep while the songs play. is there a fix for this possibly? I have many songs and it's always nice to just look over and see what is playing.
Thank you,
JG

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

Green screen while playing a movie

I purchased and downloaded a movie from the iTunes store. When I try to play it, it freezes, only showing one frame every 20-30 seconds. Eventually it green screens the movie window, and iTunes shuts down. I am running the most current version of iTunes and have all updates installed on my computer. I would like to watch this movie, and to use iTunes. Please help.

For anyone interested: I deleted the movies on the 2G and reinstalled them using my other computer which uses Windows XP and ITunes 8. The green screen no longer appears when I play the movies. They were first installed with my computer that uses Vista. ITunes 8 is acting funny on the Vista machine. If I click on a link it will not go to the page until the pointer is removed from the link. I will reinstall ITunes and see if that helps. Anyway, I hope this post makes sense!

Mac OS 10.5.6 - Screen saver takes over while playing DVD.

Since I installed 10.5.6, when I am playing a DVD using the DVD Player, the screen saver takes over the display and I have to disable it in order to continue to see the DVD video. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I have just been disabling the screen saver by setting it to never. Kind of a pain.

Hi Raingirl;
If you go to System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver and set it to never, it will turn off the Screensaver forever. If you want the Screensaver back again later you must reset it again. I know this is a royal pain in the your-know-what but it is the best suggestion I have for now.
I did sent my thoughts on this to Apple via www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.htm
You to might try this. If enough of express our displeasure maybe they might see our point of view and change things so that the screensaver doesn't interrupt programs that don't require input.

While playing an online flash game, the system froze, and a barred pattern flashed across the entire screen.

I was forced to shut down the laptop using the power button. After starting up again, I was later playing the same game, and the system froze, The same barred pattern covered the screen, and this time the system emitted a loud beep, in patterns of 3, and continued to do so until i shut down the system with the power button.
Later, while running Windows 7 via boot camp, encountered a similar problem. The entire screen was covered in multicolored noise, and then crashed within a few seconds.
More on the barred pattern while in OS X:
The bars are multicolored vertical bars, spread across the screen in probably aproximately 50x10px rectangles, evenly spaced, probably 10px vertically, and 50px horizontally. This is not an exact description, but the best I can serve from memory. Will provide better description after reproducing error.
Given that a similar error occured in both OS X and Windows, I would assume this is a hardware issue.
Hardware as follows:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:          2.3 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          2

I don´t want to kill your hope - but Apple is still ignoring anything about hard-freeze.

Computer blue screen while playing itunes movies

In the middle of a purchased, itunes movie, my computer suddenly emits a horrible sound before the blue screen of death appears. I have to manually hold down the power button to shut down the computer. I have the latest itunes updates. Any suggestions?

"It is really frustrating and have no idea *why it is not happening with the computer tech guys."*
+"I have a hard drive hooked up to the computer"+
The +"tech guys"+ when troubleshooting do not have any devices hooked up to the computer except maybe a keyboard. Did you take your comp to an Apple Store, an AASP or a comp repair shop that fixes PCs & Macs or just PCs?
Have you tried troubleshooting w/o the external HD?

White screen when I try to play rented movie

Any ideas? Movie rented and downloading. Trying to play but all I get is a blank white screen. Timer clock is advancing.

I've been having this problem for a long time. Two updates from apple later I still get this problem but less frequently. The only remedy that I'm aware of is to reset the AppleTV. I don't usually yank the power cord because it's not that accessible. You can reset the AppleTV by pressing two buttons on the remote (Pause and Menu together for about 5 seconds). Choose resart and when it comes back up the movie will play.

Satellite L750 - while playing a game or watch a movie sound card disables

hi
i have a problem with my sound card. while i play a game or watch a movie, it stops. the only way to enable the sound again is to disable and enable the speakers. my laptop model is L750-1LC and i have downloades the conexant sound driver fom the site of Toshiba.
can anyone help me with my problem please.
thanks

>the second thing is that when i disable the other 5 hd driver, the sound works, but when i reboot my system, it installs the other 5 drivers by its self.
The driver should be uninstalled in device manager!
I did it the same on my notebook Tecra A11. But my notebook supports Realtek HD audio driver instead of Conexant.
However, something similar happened to me too. The sound did not appear from speakers but through the headphones. I had to plug-in the headphones to the headphone jack and then remove the headphones to get this issue solved.
But this was really annoying and I decided to update the Realtek driver.
I uninstalled the sound driver firstly from control panel -> Programs & features
Then I uninstalled (click on uninstall driver) the Intel High Definition driver and Realtek HD driver from device manager.
Then I downloaded the newest Realtek driver version and installed this driver.
After new reboot the unit recognized the Intel high definition controller but the sound worked and the issue did not appear again

Strange green screen problem while playing movie

For the first time I purchase a movie from iTunes Store, As I started playing it neither I could hear the sound nor I could see the video but after much of effort of re-starting my iTunes and MacBook, it started to play but while playing the movie if I shift to full screen mode, a strange green screen appears for a second or two and then plays normally and if while playing I return back to normal screen, the green screen never goes, then again I have to stop the movie and restart iTunes to be able to play back the movie normally. Does anyone have any idea about this strange problem?

Hi Maen Abdulhaq,
“When I start games like Red Alert2 and a lot others”, ” I don't think that this is a manufacturer problem since it's very common to all those having windows 7 x64 and trying to play such games”
Did this issue occur in the whole games or just the Red Alert2 in your machines ?
“unfortunalety windows compatibility settings”
Have you tried in windows 98 or lower compatibility mode, please ensure you have choose run as an administrator?
Apart from this ,I recommend you to try this method.
create a shortcut of "Yuri.exe" (or "Game.exe" if running normal RA2), and place it on the desktop. Open the properties, and in the target line add "-dxlevel 8" to the end. It should look like this (or similar if you're directories
are different).
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2\YURI.exe" -dxlevel 8
Meanwhile, entering Intel HD Graphics control panel (via Windows Control Panel or right-clicking the desktop) and enter Power section. Choose "High performance" mode.
If the issue persists, I recommend you to disable one graphic card from the device manager to have a check considering you have two graphic cards.
Best regards

Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen? It goes back to my desktop. Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen and I don't know how to get out of it.

Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen ~ It goes back to my desktop.
Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen without me doing any commands, and I don't know how to get out of it without going to force quit and starting all over.

Hi,
When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.
On the other see if it's the silly implentation of Spaces/Mission Control/Expose in ML...

IPad mini. Kid downloaded new game. While playing game screen locked up. Can not close or shut off.

iPad mini. Kid downloaded new game. While playing game the screen locked up. I can't exit out or shut off. What do I do?

If you ahven't already done so then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Satellite A500-17X restarts while playing games

Hello all,
I have had my toshiba satellite a500-17x for about two years, I bought it to play Starcraft and world of warcraft. Ever since i got it i have had a problem with it. While playing games it would suddenly restart the laptop. I contacted the customer support and had it taken back to see if they could find out what was wrong with it. They said it was fine and it must be the games software that was causing the problem. (I do not believe that this is the problem since i reinstalled all software and the problem persisted)
I felt that they were trying to bluff me with this answer. Either they did not do an indebt inspection to try to resolve the problem or I believed that the model itself was flawed.
Anyway I wanted to say that the laptop can sometimes play fine for hours but on other days it will crash multiple times.
I just want to point out something; my graphics card driver is up to date. My air vents are completely clear. The temperature is stable. I have put the power management to maximum. I play with a battery in and the laptop is plugged in. This has also happened from a cold start.
During the restart i am given no advanced warning. The laptop just turns off (no beeps, no blue screen) and restarts.
I have never posted here before and i would really appreciate your help.
I know this has been a problem in the past with this model as i have searched forums for solutions but I cant find one.
If you know of a solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks

Hi
Gaming issues are always very difficult themes because nobody can say exactly if its caused by game <-> GPU driver compatibility problems or notebook (hardware) issues.
You said you had this issue playing two games but does it happens playing other games or running other applications (no games)???
In your case I recommend checking some gaming forums about StarCraft and WoW.
Maybe you will find some more details about that.
At the other hand the unit supports an NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M graphic chip.
Some people said that nVIdia driver 8.16.11.8973 would run stable
Also found this thread about driver update:
