Re: I need to change the CD/DVD drive in my Satellite Pro P200

Hi,
I need to change the DVDRW unit in my Satellite Pro P200, but I'dont know extract the old unit.
Anybody help me??
Thanks.
(Sorry for my english :S ).

To remove the optical drive module, you need to remove the battery and secondary HDD cover first.
In the middle of the bottom cover you would find an black screw which secures the CD/DVD drive.
This screw has to be removed.
In the secondary HDD bay you will find an bracket.
Use your hand to push the module bracket and then slide the module from the bay.
Thats all!
But once again; be careful and if you have no experience, get in contact with an notebook technician!

How to make the CD/DVD drive compatible on Satellite 5000-204

Hi all,
I see a thread on replacing CD/DVD drive on this notebook, but it was closed, so i write this post.
The most of recent unit is "cable select" type and will not be recognized from many Toshiba notebook.
To solve that you must search a drive for which you can found a firmware update that change it to be "reverse cable select" type, as Nec or Optiarc
If you buy a drive that can't be recognize (like me) read below.
I succesfully replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR-KD08 DVD writer.
This unit is a "cable select" type (as most other recent unit) so it can't be recognise by this notebook (and many other Toshiba models). The solution is to connect pin 45 and 47 together on the drive or on the connector adapter (this second solution is simpler).
If you watch the drive from behind these pins are the second and third from the left on the upper row of pin of the connector.
In the connector adapter it's simpler to connect these pin (with care) with a solder iron directly on the circuit board.
Obviously on the circuit board the pins are the second and third from the right.
After this the unit will recognize ok.

Hi buddy
First of all thank you for participation in the forum its always nice to have users who shares the own experience and knowledge.
Thanks you also for this info how to make the CD/DVD drive compatible.
But to be honest Im a little bit skeptical because there is a chance that the drive could be damage during this procedure.
So everyone could do this but only at the own risk!!!
Usually the compatible drives can be found in the user manual and it would be useful taking a look into the user manual before buying an NOT compatible drive ;)
Cheers mate

DVD Drive not working Satellite Pro A100 - error Code 37

Hi
Anyone help on this?
I have an A-100 and the DVD drive has stopped working in XP. I've checked device manager and XP see's the drive but returns this error 'Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)'
I've also noticed that ASAPI.sys is not running in task manager.
I'm guessing this has got something to do with the problem.
I've tried reinstalling device drivers but this has made no difference. Any suggestions?

Hi
The error code 37 means the driver returned failure from its DriverEntry routine.
You could try to remove the driver from the device manager and after new reboot the OS should recognize the device drive and initialize the driver again.
If this does not help try this procedure:
Run REGEDIT and open up the following folders:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-> SYSTEM
-> CurrentControlSet
-> Control
->Class
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:
"Upperfilters"
"Lowerfilters"
Click on each of them, press DELETE and click YES.
Then reboot the notebook and check if it was useful.

Inernal DVD drive exchange on Satellite Pro 2100

Is it possible to exchange the internal DVD Rom drive against a slimline DVD burner?
How is this done?

Hi
I think you could use many internal drives but the drive must supports the right Master/Slave/C-sel settings.
I have downloaded the user manual for this notebook from the Toshiba support homepage and there were listed several compatible drives. But unfortunately most of these drives support only DVD reading. ;(
In my opinion you should make a call to the authorized service point in your country for more details about the compatible drive. But of course, possibly no DVD burner is available for you notebook because its a little bit older.
However, what do you think about an external DVD burner?
I bought several month ago an external DVD burner and it was much cheaper as an internal notebook drive. I use it only at home and therefore it was not very important for me to buy an internal drive

I need to change the storage hard drive for both lightroom and Photoshop from my C drive to F drive

How do I change my storage drive from C to F in both lightroom and photoshop as I am running out of space on my C drive?

Storage Drive ?? Photoshop. What Platform and OS are you running.
I use PC therefore Windows. When I thing about Application like Photoshop I know the are going to be files all over the place. Windows like everything installed on the Boot disk. I gave up the fight many years ago and let windows have it way when application are installed using an installer. However besides the application files you have user files and I break user files down into to categories. Windows User files like applications settings, preferences, cashes, etc and user Data Files, Images, text documents, PDF. Applications like Photoshop also have add-ons an need swap space as well. While all Windows default library reside on the C: drive you can add additional storage to you document, music, picture and video libraries the are not on the c: Most of my user data file are actually on external ESATA drives or USB3 drives. System files, Application Files, Paging, swapping and backup are on internal SSd and Fast Disk drive. Some of the folder that look like they are on C: are actually shortcut links to folders on other drives.

Cleaning the cd/dvd drives dust guard

The fabric/foam/plastic (whatever they are) flaps that protect the slot of the cd/dvd drive on my macbook pro 2012 have become stiff and will not let discs through with ease. I had a liquid (tea) spill the other day, so I have reason to believe that this is a result of that incident. If I clean it with warm water and a q-tip its fine for a time, but eventually reverts to being stiff again. Any tips for cleaning it? would rubbing alcohol work? any help would be appreciated. thanks!

Hi sarah.p,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that the SuperDrive on your MacBook Pro is no longer accepting discs. Based on the detailed information you have provided, along with the information in the following article, it sounds like your MacBook may need to be serviced:
Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201788
7. If the drive repeatedly does not accept discs, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.

Broken DVD Drive on my Satellite M35x laptop

Hi,
the CD-DVD Drive on my Satellite Laptop apparently is broken and I was thinking about purchasing an external CD-DVD Drive and would appreciate HELP.
In the event that I need to RE-Install Windows, would I be able to do this with an External CD Drive since I believe I need to boot from the CD to begin the reinstall and I am not sure if the Laptop will "recognize" the external drive?
Thank you,
Bob

Hi Barrie, I purchased a (used) Drive for a M35X Laptop and to a non techie, it looked just like the one that was inside the Laptop but when I slide the replacement DVD-CD Drive in the opening, it did NOT "click-in" (connect to the MB) and wehn i turned the Laptop on and ent to My Computer, their was NO DVD-CD identified.
I tried install new HW but again, the Drive was not recognized so my deductions are that the Drive may look just like the other one but it is not meant for this system, the drive could be OK but the connection to the MB is defected, their is something not functioning properly on the MB or most likely, I don't know what I am talking about and need ALL the H-E-L-P that I can get!
Thanks,
Bob

I need help changing the previous owners id and password

I bought a use macbook Lion os-x 10.7.5 software. My apple id and password don't work because the previous owners password is still in there. I have tried to get to the Disc Utility by restarting and holding the control, alt/option and r keys but it just starts up to the normal screen. No disc utility. Any suggestions?
thanks, carl s

If you started holding the Option key, and only saw Macintosh HD rather than that and Recovery, then it seems that Recovery is missing or damaged on your computer. Some models of MacBook will start in Internet Recovery if you use Command Option R; although it seems that yours is not suitable.
If you are able to start in Single User mode (hold Command & S at the chime), then you may be able to follow the steps below to change the password. Print them out first, & make sure that you know the name of the user that you wish to change. This won't alter the AppleID name & password that were used to install previous software, so you may still need to erase & (re)install yourself; starting with the relevant install DVD(s) which are usually available from Apple for around $20, if you call with the serial number.
Start in Single User mode & wait for the :/ root#    prompt to appear
type        mount -uw /        then press enter (the slash is important)
again, wait for the :/ root#    prompt
type    passwd username
then press enter (swapping 'username' for the name you need to change the password for)
You should see
:/ root# passwd username
Changing password for username
New password:
You now type a password, which won't be shown onscreen, then press enter
then you should see
Retype new password:
type the same new password again, then press enter.
wait for the :/ root#    prompt, then type     reboot    & press enter

Need help changing the default Save Path

Hello,
We are implementing SAP, and will be using Citrix as the source for the GUI. One of our requirnments are, that we need to change the default "Save Path" that users save documents too. By default, this is to the C drive, but, we need it set to a different drive (i.e. V: on the citrix server).
We found this note on SDN (see below) - however, it does not explain how to change or add this registry value? Is this done in the GUI options, or in regedit? If in reg-edit, where abouts in the tree does it go?
Thanks guys, and any help would be greatly appriciated.
Richard
(As of SAP GUI 7.20, patch level 4) the REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value InitSaveDir can be used to configure the default path and folder for users to save the reported information in case of an access denial due to security rules. If users change the default path and save the information to an individual location, this new path will be kept as long as the user does not terminate the program. When starting SAP GUI again, users will get the configured default path again to store the reported information, the individual path changes will be lost. If the registry value does not exist, the default directory is the document directory of the SAP GUI.
By default none of the above registry values exists. In order to change the behavior of the security module, the registry values need to be created and set to the desired value. A not existing registry value means use the default.
In this doc:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002444be-7018-2d10-e18e-a8c537198ef6?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

Hi,
"Security rules that are created for a large number of users can be centrally stored on a server by an administrator. The administrator can use the registry values below under the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
to configure the behavior of the security module.
Note: For 64 bit operating systems please use the following registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
to configure the behavior of the security module."
You can use regedit for installing this values.

I need help changing the account number my daughter uses for payment for her apps and itunes, etc. can anyone talk me through this.

hi ,
im just a mom, not very computer savy.....however, I need to change the payment method my daughter uses to purchase things on her ipad due to the fact that the current one is expiring. ie: for such things like songs and games, etc.
I would appreciate any help as how to do so.
THanks

On a computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option (if you are not logged into the account that your daughter is using then Store > Sign menu option to log out of the currently logged in account ; that will then change to a Store > Sign In option so that you can log into her account) and log into the account (enter the account's password and click View Account on the popup)
And on the account's details page there should be a payment link.
If you are doing it on your iPad then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (if not logged into her account then log out of your account via the popup that you get and then log in with her account) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into the account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

What program do I need to change the resolution of a photo?

What program do I need to change the resolution of a photo that is currently a low-res .jpg? I previously had photoshop, but it did not transfer to my new Mac Lion - and it is too expensive to repurchase. Curious if there is there an alternative option? I cannot open hi-res files anymore, and would love a solution. Thanks!

Thanks for answer

If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery. Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up. If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).
