Re: Satellite A300 Cannot install Win XP because HDD is not visible
Hi
i tryed to install windows xp after windows 7 but instalation of Xp cant find hard disk.
Someone told me i should install sata drivers can anyone help me?
A300 Psag0e
As I said there are a lot of threads about that check also the HowTo & FAQ are of this forum.
SATA driver is a part of Intel Storage Manger it can be downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page
You can attach the SATA drivers into the Win XP CD using the nLite software too.
Its for free
But the easiest way is to change the BIOS settings as mentioned above

Satellite A300 - Cannot install operating system
I just bought a notebook Satellite A300.
At the begining it had no operating system, but the one at the store installed me Windows 7 ultimate (trial).
Now i have problems installing other system.
It shows me an error and one more thing. When i bought the notebook it had no cd-s, no drivers, nothing, it is ok?
Please respond me, I don't know what to do.Hallo Alexandra
I have the same notebook model and at first I want to say that you got good choice. Satellite A300 is supported for WXP, Vista and for newest Win7 too. I have tested performance with all three operating systems and to be honest, best performance is under Win7.
So I recommend you to install Win7. I can help you with exact, step-by-step guideline.
If you want to install WXP you MUST use WXP SP2 or WXP with SP3. Your notebook has SATA HDD inside and when WXP installation starts you must load SATA driver (F6 option when WXP installation starts). This SATA driver can be loaded with floppy disc. Other way you must create WXP installations CD with integrated SATA driver. For this purposes you can use nLite software. It can be a little bit complicated.
Using Win7 you don't need this SATA driver.
Please let me know your opinion about all this.
At the end I must say that you should maybe look forward and learn to use newest operating system and newest compatible software. We all like WXP but it is time to say goodbye. Do you agree with me? -
Satellite A660 - Cannot install Win 7 using external DVD drive
Hello!
Not so long time ago I asked for help with reinstalling win 7 on my laptop.
The only option was actually to order recovery dvd what I did. Today it arrived.
Problem is or was that some of CDs or DVDs couldn't be read for some reason.
Now it doesn't want to boot from cd it says drive failed.
So what I did I pluged my spare external DVD drive and it booted from that.
However just after few seconds it tells me to set "1st recovery media" and opens the disc in laptop. Tried to insert the disc - nothing, like its not inserted, tried to disable laptops cd - nothing please help> somehow it feels very strange that company like toshiba doesn't let people too recover it computers using external drives
Sorry kamil but this is not fully correct.
I can remember times when Toshiba released some notebook series without internal ODD (optical disk drive). It was able to recover such notebook using external ODD and recovery disk or recovery USB flash memory stick.
In your case the notebook boots up from the recovery disk because it appears a message saying please insert 1st recovery media and click continue. This means that data could be read from the recovery disk but obviously this is a wrong recovery disk or there is a problem with the inserted disk.
I found interesting document how to create a USB recovery media flash drive from recovery ISO images- or discs (DVDs)
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm
But if the recovery dvd isnt OK, then this method will not function.
In such case you would need to use a Microsoft installation disk or you could order a new recovery disk from Arvato service. -

Any thoughts?

cannot install itunes 7 because os 10.6.8 is needed. I select software update and the 10.6.8 is not available to be downloaded. I'm trying to load itunes to the iphone5
If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
If you don't know, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.

Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled.
Hello,
I am having some difficulties with Flash Player and Office 2011 updates.
Both of them are not able to install something on my Macintosh HD:
Microsoft AutoUpdate says he can't find a volume with the appropriate Mac OS version.
Adobe Flash Player Manager always fails with: General installation error. The logfile says: installer: Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled.
This is the last clue I have.
In my opinion it's a Mac OS related problem so I tried to repair the volume and the permissions of the volume with DiskUtilities: no difference.
Currently I have installed the FlashPlayer Debugger. Apparently this version has no problems with my volume.
Honestly I don't want to install the whole system AGAIN. It would be the third time just because of small mac osx bugs. The last time the Apple Hardware Test destroyed my file system From now on I am afraid to push any buttons during the boot process
You guys are my last hope
Regards[...] As described here, check which version you have installed, & if it is not the current one, follow the instructions on that page to install the latest version. Note that if you have any problems, you should only use the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller to uninstall Flash Player installation files.
Sorry I did not make this clear: I tried all of this descriptions and everytime I got: General installation error.
Doesn't matter if I uninstall it before, install it with the offline installer, start the installer via terminal or whatever... it doesn't work for me.
Adobe Flash Player Manager is obsolete. [...]
You mean the Adobe Download Manager. The normal Flashplayer installation is provided by the Flash Player Manager.
Also note that Adobe says you should not have FlashPlayer Debugger installed to ensure a clean upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Again, follow the instructions given on that page to remove it.
I have noticed that, but like I said: the normal version doesn't work for me it says in the logs it can't write to the root directory.
There is no conceivable way Apple Hardware Test could "destroy" a file system since it only does certain checks of the hardware. Please describe how you ran it & why you think it caused file system damage.
Long story short: I tried to boot into AHT but got stuck in the loading screen. I don't know why. So I restarted the system but I couldn't boot anymore. DiskUtilities said volume broken and it wasn't able to repair it. I tried it like a million times: the filesystem was corrupt. I made an image of the volume and was able to mount it in readonly mode, so at least I did not lose my data.
At the end I found out I had to push ALT+D and not just D like described on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533.
Problems like you describe are sometimes caused by incompatible third party 'modifiers,' "helpers," etc. added to the system. Download & run Etrecheck & post the results if you would like help in determining if one or more of those items is contributing to your issues.

How can I correct the issue of Safari not connecting on my iPad Air? It was working great 2 days ago.....now on September 20 it is not working! I have an internet connection but Safari will not open. "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server."
Hello Beckieor,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain ActionScript
Im working with flash, everything is good. I've exported my movie it works fine. But i fell its a little fast.
So i go to drop the frame rate from default 12 to 8 just to see how it looks. I play it and i like it. Next thing i know when i go to hit 'share' to export the movie again the button is replaced by 'Debug'. I go into it and hit 'Debug Movie' then thats when i get the message "You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain ActionScript".
Now if i start any new projects or open any exsisting ones it still has this debug thing going on.
How do i fix it and get it back to normal so i can export videos?
ThanksI have exactly the same problem. AS3 just seems not to be
compiled/interpreted at all. With a very simple 'trace' line as
mentioned in previous posts, you just need to click on the 'check
code' button and you will got the error saying that your code
contains error (of course the same experience works just fine on a
working CS3 installation on another computer).
So far I have been through several install/uninstall
processes without any change. It looks like Flash does not found
needed components/libs for compiling/interpreting AS3 code... Error
messages that all of us have seen are just kind of side effects of
the real problem.
Is there a way to initiate and access flash log files/system
error events/dll load tracer where we would be able to see what
flash is looking for and obviously it does not find
(files/libs/whatever)?!
In my case, I'm running CS3 on windows XP Pro SP2 installed
on e: (not c: ... which may be also something to consider)
... very very annoying to waste time that way... and I guess
it will be worst once we will have confirmation that this is just a
misunderstood or broken path to a lib file... usually the stranger
is the effect, the stupidest is the reason...
sorry no solution here, just another name in the
stack. -

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????
You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.

What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?
When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network? You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad. See if it now connects correctly. -

Did the iPod connect to this network before?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router

when i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?
you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.
