Re-installed everything, now what...

my daughter's laptop l305-s5499 (see attached) failed completely. nobody could fix it for less $$ than what a new laptop would cost. windows os would not reload, but I managed to "format C" after installing Fedora OS (interesting that fedora loaded). please don't say that was "dumb". trust me, it was the only option, short of taking a sledge hammer to it. i found an old copy of windows xp, installed it and SP2 & 3. i got it functioning with few downloads from toshiba (wifi and utility software) and flash player/adobe stuff. so far running great, but the sound does not function. what do i need to do?
also, any required toshiba downloads that are "a must" to install?
what's a toshiba "bios" download and do i need to worry about this?
Also, it originally came loaded with windows vista basic, but no disc. the key code sticker is still on the laptop. can i download a replacement vista basic without purchasing a new set? or, should i leave it alone, since it's working (so far)? i have over 35 hours in getting to this point and i'm frustrated with the entire process. i hate to start over if xp will be fine.
i'm not a "computer guy" so please dumb-down replies. thank you, in advance.

l305-s5499
Actually, this one.
Satellite L305-S5944 (PSLB8U-0VN037)
Your model is in part-number family PSLB8U, which corresponds to part-number family PSLB8E in European Toshiba machines. Get your XP drivers here.
Best to install the Intel chipset and display drivers before any other drivers.
The sound is here.

Most of the CS6 (Windows) elements did not successfully install. Now what?

Message this morning that Adobe updates needed to be installed on my work laptop. But after the process, the "Update Complete" message indicated that only 3 of the 14 updates had successfully installed. "Some components of the following products could not be updated successfully." The error log provided no detailed information as to why. So now what's my next step to complete all the updates?

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall the programs, try again.

Installed Boot Camp w/o having Windows Disk, Installed Parallels, now what?

I installed Boot Camp not really knowing what was required, thinking that it was a download, not knowing it came with the computer. I then deleted it, thinking I could re-download it later since I didn't have a copy of the Windows OS, and now I still have it installed, but I would like the original back on my laptop since I got Parallels and have a windows disk. I just don't know where to go from here.

Hi,
you can use eiter Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/ or these instructions from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1889 to reinstall the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.
Once done use the BootCamp Assistant to repartition your harddisk back to a single-OSX harddisk.
I would propose to have/make a recent backup of your OSX just in case.

Indesign crashes during startup on "starting trackers"; already re-installed. Now what?

Any ideas on what to do now? I can't use InDesign. I'm on a Windows 8 PC.

BI installed but now what?

Hi all,
I installed all parts of the Oracle App Server 10G (infra, midtier, and BI) and have been using the portal without problem. Now I'd like to pull in Discoverer portlets for my portal, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I tried to register Discoverer as a portal provider but that did not work. When I log in to the Enterprise Manager, I see Intra and Midtier, but I don't see the BI part.
What step am I missing here??
thanks,
christine

Hi Christine
Before you can see Discoverer (OBI) in OEM alongside the Infra and Midtier you need to attach it. First of all lets make sure the Discoverer components are up and running. To do this, follow this workflow (the following assumes you are using Windows XP so you will have to insert the appropriate command if you are on a different platform):
1. Launch Settings | Control Panel
2. Select Administrative Tools | Services
3. Expand the box and look for the services that begin with the word Oracle
4. There are two that launch OBI, these are [OBI_HOME]ProcessManager and [OBI_HOME]ASControl. These need to be started in that order but only after you have started the Application Server database and your infrasructure.
If the Discoverer components are up and running you should be able to launch the OBI OEM URL. It should be the same as the one that you use to launch your normal OEM except try replacing the 1810 with 1812, or vice versa depending which one you installed first. To attach the OBI mid tier to your application server farm, follow this workflow:
1. Launch the OBI OEM
2. Enter your IAS_ADMIN userid and password
3. On the top of the screen, click the Infrasructure link
4. Under Identity management, click Configure and add the name of the server and the port for the OID you are using on the infrastructure - port is normally 389
5. Under Default Metadata Repository, click configure and add the metadata repository
6. Now when you launch your normal OEM URL you should see Discoverer as part of the farm. If this is true you should also be able to add portlets and get the portlet provider configured.
Hope this helps
Regards
Michael

Installing FCS2. Did Archive and Install. Now what?

I got studio 2 today and didn't like the idea of installing it over Studio. I searched and the gurus say don't do it. I'm confused about archive and install. If I do it do I just drag all the Studio apps in the trash after I do the Archive and Install or do I drag the apps in the trash before then install FCS2.
Any help would be appreciated.
Erik

You got that right. I cloned my drive with SuperDuper then used Migration Assistant to move all my settings and users files over. No applications where moved. It was pretty easy. I'm still loading all my programs which is a drag but everything else is already been moved and that would have been a whole lot harder to deal with. I have three users on this Mac. Lots of files and folders. This was the first time I have done this and I did learn a few things. I have been making images of all my software and the updates keeping them all in a folder on a separate drive. next time I have to do this I will just open the image and sit back. No sticking disks in. And its faster. I have Leopard sitting on my desk but not brave enough to try it out just yet. I need a stable edit bay right now. I wish I could get a Intel mac just for FCP. Now that would be sweet. The G5 is still kicken but il bet this Studio 2 upgrade will be the last one for a G5.

Error installing Leopard- now what?

i tried upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard. There was any error halfway throught the install, now i cant boot up at all. Cant even access the OSX installation off the DVD. Can i re-install 10.3x from the grey cd without losing all my data?
HELP!

Welcome To  Discussions meida!
Did you choose to do a Simple Upgrade, an, Erase & Install, or an Archive & Install?
Did you create a backup of the system before the failed upgrade?
"Can i re-install 10.3x from the grey cd without losing all my data?"
Is that the system disc, for the original version of OSX, that was pre-installed, when the PowerBook G4 was manufactured?
If so, are you able to start up from that, to run Repair Disk?

I have a student edition of Photoshop CS5 on my laptop and just recently bought a desktop. I want to put photoshop on my desktop but cant find the install CD, got lost during the move.

Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions before proceeding to the actual download.

Webdisptcher install SAPINST, now what

I have installed webdispatcher via sapinst however not sure what the next step is. The webdispatcher is installed on a separate server and what to redirect to ABAP and portal servers.
Read the install manuals but nothing about configuring the webdipatcher.
Thanks

I have checked it out and it does not help.
Here is where I am at:
I have installed the standalone webdispatcher installed viua SAPINST for NW2004 SR1. The install was successful. the webdispatcher is up and running and I can go to the webadmin URL for ICm and it shows up fine.
The problem is tieing it to a back end SAP system.
This is my profile for the webdispatcher instance in the EDMz:
SAPSYSTEMNAME = PNC
SAPSYSTEM = 00
INSTANCE_NAME = W00
DIR_CT_RUN = $(DIR_EXE_ROOT)/run
DIR_EXECUTABLE = $(DIR_CT_RUN)
Accesssability of Message Server
rdisp/mshost = pnc_001
ms/http_port = 8000
Configuration for medium scenario
icm/host_name_full = pnc_001.gm.com
icm/max_conn = 500
icm/max_sockets = 1024
icm/req_queue_len = 500
icm/min_threads = 10
icm/max_threads = 50
mpi/total_size_MB = 80
SAP Web Dispatcher Ports
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=443
I want to connect to the WAS through port 443....
So two questions:
1) Is the profile above correct (remmeber pnc is a seperate server running SAP)
2)Is there anything else I need to configure on the back end to connect to the webdispatcher.
Thanks
Mikie

5th generation ipod touch rear camera no longer works; have tried everything; now what?

so my ipod touch 5th generation's rear camera hasnt been working for a month or two. the front camera works, but once I click on the button to switch to the rear, it freezes. i have tried resetting my settings, backing up and restoring my ipod, force closed and moved the camera app, etc. also, when i use facetime or snapchat, the rear camera option doesnt even show up. Online ive read that this is a hardware problem, so i was wondering what i could do or where i could take it to be fixed? and if i did take it in, how much would repair cost? thanks in advance.
also, there is no apple store around me within like two and a half hours. i bought this from best buy in 2013, could i take it there or can i send it in to apple?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
To send it to Apple see:

If covered by warranty, not abused and defective Apple will exchange it at no cost

Lost install disc, System requires re-install. Now what?

I run cs2 and recently got a reinstall dialog box popping up.
I can no longer navigate the help or updates function.
My install disc has been lost in the process of several moves.
How or can I attain a new disc?

You would have to contact Adobe. You will have to provide proof of purchase, unless you had registered with your install and they have that on record. I am not sure they provide disks back to CS2, but it is all I know to try. You may be out of luck if you did not register or they no longer have disks for CS2.

I tunes won't open because MSVCR80.dll error - and can't re-install itunes either - now what?

Today I went to open iTunes and received the MSVCR80.dll error - unable to open iTunes.
After Googling for a solution, I found the Apple walkthrough on how to copy your .DLL files to your desktop, uninstall iTunes and reinstall.
When I tried to reinstall iTunes, I got an error in the "starting services" part of the installation process and was not able to complete the install.
Now what?
I am getting incredibly ****** off with iTunes - a horrible user interface and no support available even though I've spent hundreds (if not thousands!) of £££ over the years through the store.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

HT203175 i just downloaded new version and then restarted the computer and now itunes wont run- it says it is a currupted or installed wrong. What do I do so I don't loose everything.

I was prompted to download newest version of itunes, which I did and the restarted the computer. Now it says itunes is currupted or installed wrong. What do I do so that I don't loose my music and apps.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Re-installed everything, now what...
