Recovery of 8.1 for Satellite S55-A5176 will not successfully activate windows 8.1

A couple of days ago I rebooted the laptop as it was funning a little slow.  Upon reboot I was forced to do a recovery after trying a few of the suggestions on the troubleshooting screen.  I went through the recovery process with my recovery disks and since then reinstalled my software apps and files.
I am getting failure on activating Windows 8.1.
My machine is a S55-A5176
I have had it for just over a year.  Not sure what caused the failure, but now I can't successfully complete the updates of the OS or activate it.
I don't get a phone number on the screen.  Just the following:
Windows can't activate right now. 
Try again later.  If that doesn't work, contact support.
The link, "See support info online" doesn't do anything.
I also tried running the process from the command line, 'slui.exe 4' but it doesn't do anything after answering United States for country. 
Am I stuck with having to try the revocery over again. 

Can you burn new recovery discs? Or maybe make a flash drive this time.
See the instructions in the section Creating recovery media, which begins on p. 54 of the User's Guide.

  • RE: Satellite A135-S2356 will not boot to windows.

    Problem 1-1/2 weeks ago-mouse started freezing, the windows sessions started freezing. Then started getting blue screen errors saying I have an uncorrectable hardware error. Tried disk recovery & process completed to restart the said it could not start windows! Now if it happens to boot at all it freezes within a few seconds. Any input at all would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, TerribleT

    Now if it happens to boot at all it freezes within a few seconds.
    1. Does the problem occur when you boot into Safe Mode? See Advanced startup options (including safe mode).
    2. Does the problem occur when you boot normally into another user account? If necessary, create one.

  • Update BIOS Satellite S55-A5176 on Debian Linux?

    Can I update my Satellite S55-A5176 BIOS on a Debian based (not Ubuntu) Linux system? I tried doing this in WINE. Only portions of the exe will run. Can I create the bootable BIOS from my Linux machine. Even better can do this from the command line and make a bootable USB? It would be best if I can do this with the operating system without installing poorly support software or library goosehunts.

    There is an issue with the bios on these newer toshibas, at least my model I know for a fact has this problem.
    I have to set my sata interface to "battery life' which is i believe sata 2 mode in order for it to be detected.
    To get into the bios from windows 8 on a newer toshiba follow these steps.
    From within windows 8
    1. Open the side panel and click on Settings
    2. At the bottom click on Change PC Settings
    3. Click on the Update and Recovery
    4. Click Recovery and under Advanced Startup click Restart Now
    5. The Option menu will pop up, click on Troubleshoot
    6. Click on Advanced Options and then click UEFI Firmware Settings
    7. Click Restart and your system will boot into the bios.
    Under the Advanced Tab, set the SATA Interface Setting to "Battery Life" and your ssd should be detected perfectly.

  • 7.1.2 update failed. Now my iPhone 5 is in recovery mode and hard resetting does not work for me. iTunes also will not detect my phone now

    I did my 7.1.2 update via iTunes. Half way through it stopped working saying it does not detect my phone. Now my iPhone 5 is in recovery mode and hard resetting does not work for me. iTunes also will not detect my phone now

    Thank you SO very much for posting this. I had the exact issue with my iPad Mini after the same upgrade. Hard reset failed, computer would not recognize iPad. I had read all the other instructions and nothing worked.... YOUR SOLUTION WORKED FOR ME - with a slight variation.
    I followed your lead and connected my iPad Mini to another computer, fired up iTunes, it saw the iPad Mini in Restore Mode and allowed me to go into Restore (yes, it wiped all of the data but I have a back up on the other computer that would not see it after the failed update). It installed the latest iOS 7.1.2 as well. I then disconnected it from that computer, reconnected it to the computer that would not see it prior and it then saw it as a new iPad and allowed me to Restore my backup and now it's all good!
    I detailed my steps only because you downloaded the previous version - 7.1.1 whereas I downloaded the latest version (7.1.2) and then restored my back up.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

  • How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

    How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

    There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7

    MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7  in compatibility mode or any other way. I receive error " can not open \device\memory" and then " This program can not run on his hardware.
    Thinkcenter E series 8291-ETU --- upgraded from XP to Windows 7 yesterday.
    Any ideas on how to get this product installed in Windows 7 ?

    I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
    1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
    2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
    Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well.  Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

    Hi hope somebody can help? i have acrobat 6 pro, worked well for last two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still will not open, ronning windows 7. Help please!!  Janice

    Hey janicem42177174,
    Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
    You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes
