Re: Satellite L350-170 - WiFi stops and starts

Hello,
I have the Toshiba Satellite L350-170 and it's great. I am running Vista 32-bit and I have had it from Christmas '08.
For a while now, the WiFi will just stop (if I use webcam on msn or something) as if it's just overloaded, then I have to wait a few mins before it comes back on again!
Is there a driver to keep the internet connected? On my taskbar, it says I'm always connected, and when I check on ConfigFree (when i can't use internet, but it's saying I *am* connected.
Can this be solved?
Hope you can help!
Regards,
James K

Hi James,
Maybe this problem is caused by the router. You should check the logfile of it. Is the router always connected interruptions?
In this case a firmware update would be advisable and let the ISP check your Internet connection.
Furthermore you can try updating the WLAN driver. The latest version can be downloaded on the Toshiba website.

Hi shahchin,
I think you should check this Toshiba document:
[How to change the settings for the integrated webcam if the image is very dark or black |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=59]
Furthermore the microphone is located on near the microphone because its a part of the webcam.
Regarding the picture quality of webcam you could also try reinstalling the webcam driver from Toshiba website.

My Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.

Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.
The fan is free from dust. I reinstalled Windows
There is a new Battery for 1 year
If the laptop is off, the battery can be charged. The laptop is operating normally on battery.
From the moment that the AC adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
When I use the computer without a battery but with the AC adapter, the computer shuts down. Test with another AC adapter, the computer turns off.
Could it be that the cable between the motherboard and the DC jack is causing the problem whether this is unlikely ?
Anyone have an idea to help me with this problem ?

Dr. Lamp,
Shut down is not always at the same point. In the beginning this happened from time to time and than more frequently. If i start up the computer now with the AC adapter connected than he doesn't start up completely. He shuts down and reboot or blocked.
To answer your question, I am able to enter the BIOS settings.
I bought the Yannec battery here:
I summarize the tests that I did together:
Loading battery when computer is off = yes
Running applications only with battery = yes
With AC adapter connected = computer shut down and reboot
Without battery, only with AC adapter connected = shut down and reboot
With other AC adapter = shut down and reboot
If it is a problem of the motherboard is it not possible that it can be repaired rather than replaced by a new one?
Many thanks for your patience

Satellite L350-170 display has gone funny pictures

Hi
i have a Satellite L350-170 but the display has gone funny pictures have started to look like negatives and colours are not the same also and there is like ghost screens underneath my current screen.
I have tried unistalling drivers and reinstalling but its just the same
Any help with this would be appreciated thank you

Hi
Test the notebook in connection with external monitor.
Check if the same funny pictures would be visible on external monitor.
I think if the same will appear on second monitor, then the issue might be related to graphic card.
In such case the motherboard with the GPU chip should be replaced.

Music skips and stops and starts

Hello, we have just got a nano to replace a 3rd gen iPod.
I have around 50 gigs of music on a lacie USB drive, and the music plays flawlessly from here in iTunes.
However once imported into the nano, there is distortion, jumps and clicks in the music and sometimes the song will just stop and start from the beginning.
Any ideas?

That would indicate a network issue.
Reboot ATV and router
Make sure DNS is set to auto
Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone. both iphone, Apple TV are capable models and have latest software updates.
What's wrong here?

Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status. Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.

Videos stopping and starting.

YYou tube and sky go stopped working properly from one day to the next. The videos stop and start every two minutes. There is a spinning icon next to the wifi icon when this happens. Why?

Well, ipad 1 has not got the best wifi. Your iPad may be lagging (because it's old) and can't cope with video playback. maybe it's time for a better ipad?

Recording stops and starts up again

So i was recording a gig and it would stop and start up again throughout
the event. I was not running anything else on my laptop but onlocation. My virus protection was turned
off since I was in a non-wifi location.
Here are my specs for my laptop.
HP-HDX18
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU
T9900 @ 3.06 GHz-3.07GHz
Memory 6GB
64 Bit Windows Vista - Waiting for my Windows 7 upgrade to come in.
500 GB HD
Rating of 5.4

When I first tried it out... it was a band new laptop. Nothing was running
on it except on location. I turned off the screen saver and virus
protection. There was no pattern of when it would glitch it would just do
it. Some a few seconds apart to a few minutes apart. Yes my disk very
defragmented which I always do after installing and uninstalling programs.
So I know everything was up to par at that time. I also have premiere pro
cs4 on it and it runs fine with no hiccups. Just on location does this. I
kind of notice at one time it seemed like it would hiccup when the audio
level dropped. But then again it would do it when someone was on the mic
talking too. So I'm clueless... and I believe its going to be very hard to
diagnose.

How may I automatically stop and start Mail services at a set time please

Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to automatically stop and start Mail services (or any other services) at a set time please in Leopard Server? Is there a script someone has created which might help?
Cheers, David ( a realy newbie when it comes to administering OS X server)

launchd works through a series of XML documents that define tasks to run, either at launch, on a time schedule, in response to network events, etc.
So you'll need to create two .plists - one to start the mail server and one to stop it. They should be saved in /Library/LaunchDaemons. I'd suggest something like:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.postfix.stop</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
    <string>stop</string>
    <string>mail</string>
  </array>
  <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
  <dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>00</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
and /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.start.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.postfix.start</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
    <string>start</string>
    <string>mail</string>
  </array>
  <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
  <dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>4</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>00</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
You'll need to either use launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop (or start) to load the tasks, or reboot your server.
I'm curious, though, as to why you want to do this. Mail is typically one of the services that people want to run 24/7 so they don't miss out on any emails (even though SMTP can tolerate this). Why do you want to shut yours down?

MacBook Pro hard disk stops and starts

Why does the hard disk on MacBook Pro stop and start every 15 minutes or so? All operations suddenly stop for five to ten seconds during the spin down. I don't recall this happening in OS 10.5. The preference "Put the hard disk to sleep when possible" is NOT ticked, therefore the drive should never spin down.
Any ideas?

Try resetting your SMC. Resetting the System Management Controller >>

APEX 4.2 aligning issue of Stop and Start Grid Layout item

My APEX application application is in the process of moving from 4.0 to 4.2. I am experiencing an issue with aligning (left margin justified) of Stop and Start Grid Layout items that have a border around them. Earlier I had an issue with the border itself not showing up in the 4.2 application. I was able to resolve that with a workaround by adding inline code in the CSS section of the page: #P23_OFFICE_START_TBL {width:682; border:1px solid #369; margin:5px;}. This created the border which I needed, but there are 2 Stop and Start Grid Layout items that are indented and not aligning with the border of the previous line. I have tried a number of different things but none of them have worked. This seems like a very simple issue to fix but I am having a tough time resolving it.
I tried to put the item in question in a different grid, which corrected the indention but then I lost the border around the item. It seems that the above CSS code does not work on the new grid. I also tried to put attributes such as margin-left:5px; float: left; clear: left; float: left, in the CSS code but that did not work, too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ajay K

I deleted and added back the Stop and Start Grid Layout items not aligning properly. This worked. Apparently, the 4.0 to 4.2 upgrade did not handle/convert these items properly. Deleting and adding them back resolved the issue.

Burned DVD issues in DVD player not reading or music issues stop and start

I'm a PC converted to a MAC (less than a month) and love it so far. I have been able to create and burn a DVD. The problem I'm having is one DVD player will not read the DVD (Hitachi). The other DVD player will play it, but the music stops and starts when it transitions (twirl) to another picture (Panasonic DVD/VHS combo). I'm using a DVD R Memorex. Neither one of the player are new. Would love to use this to make the Grandparent's a DVD of the grandchildren from birth to present as Christmas present. What do I need to use or do to be able to watch on any DVD player as well as the computers?

Hi me01
Welcome to apple discussions. Try using 99 photos / less to avoid issues with audio fades / drops. Also do a search for Memorex on this forum and you'll see it's not the first choice of dvd's for most users. Instead try Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 4x from a disc image for best results. Wish you luck and feel free to post back with results or any further questions.
