Reinstalled Windows 8.1 and can't get wireless adapter to work

I just did a fresh install of my OEM Windows 8.1. At this point I'm trying to get my wireless network setup again.
If I look under device manager under "Other devices" there is a Network Controller listed, which I'm assuming is my wireless card. If I try to go online to look for drivers, nothing is found.
I've downloaded the most recent Intel Wireless LAN Driver listed in the Drivers & Software section of this website, and that doesn't seem to do anything after install and reboot.

Your support page is here - http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200008293
Toshiba's are picky about installation order - install the chipset then video driver before the other drivers and install the TVAP before the other Toshiba applications.
Select drivers tab then windows 8.1 64 bit, then Lan - install the lan driver, wifi to see available drivers and install. The card reader is often an unknown device so install it to.
You will need the TVAP for special functions key to work
Sometimes it takes a few start overs with Toshiba's untill you get installation order correct.
Here is a installation order to use as a guide, your model is different so you will have to get the drivers from your support page.

Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work

I have Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work with LaCie external drive. I have gone through older posts and tried with no luck power cable and holding down start button for 15 seconds and restoring power and also removing power cable waitng 10 minutes replugging power cable holding down alt command P, R keys until second beep is heard. I know that LaCie drive and cable are working, they were connnected to another iMac without issues. What options do I have left to get FireWire to work? The System Report just says
FireWire Bus:
Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec.
Thanks for any help
CS

I did not mention in original post that when initially connected to the Firewire port the LaCie drive I can hear activity so the drive is getting power. Does this mean the Firewire port may not be physically damamged and there may be options for resetting? Are there any 3rd party software repair programs worth buying for diagnostics and repair of the FireWire port?

When I click on a photo, I now get Windows Media Center and can't get my photos. Can I get rid of this?

I used to be able to click a photo and have it open. Now I have this massive page of "stuff" titled Windows Media Center. Can I get rid of this or find a way around it to view pix?

Type '''about:preferences#applications'''<enter> in the address bar.
Change that file type to the program you want to use.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

I recently reinstalled windows, no music how can I get it back? x

I recently reinstalled windows on my computer which means I have lost all of my music files. Is there any way I can get them back? I have one copy of the majority of the music on my i pod and the rest is (hopfully) backed up on an external hard-drive I was hoping I wouldnt have to get them back from the copy on the external hard-drive ... is there any other way of gettin them back?
kind regards ~ Nat

No. You'll either need to copy them from the backup drive or copy them from your iPod into your new (empty) iTunes library.

Just bought Windows XP laptop and can't get it to see my mac mini

I bought a netbook for easy cheap web surfing, windows xp.
However, really want it to be able to read Itunes and Photos from my mac mini.
I just can't get it to see the mac mini at all.
I have set up Itunes and photos folders for sharing, and on the sharing page
set up for windows access.
I have seen various forums where it says log in as windows user in the accounts setting, however my accounts setting does not have this option when you open it.
I am at a loss.
Does anyone know the way to sort this?
Many thanks

Hi- can you please clarify:
1. Is your netbook and your mac mini connected to the same network? How are you connected to the network? WiFi or LAN? Are you using a router?

Can't get wireless keyboard to work in Windows 7 under boot camp

I have removed the keyboard in OS X, and when I try to get it to pair it will show up and ask me to enter a string of numbers and hit enter, and when I do, it says it is working, but the keyboard itself stays in discovery mode (blinking light) and doesn't work.
I have followed every guide I can find with no success. Is there anything I have to do after it is 'paired' to be able to actually get the keyboard to realize that it is paired and not automatically go into discovery mode?

This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

I switched to cable and can't get wireless.

I just switch to Cox high speed internet. For that I needed to buy a cable modem. I bought a Linksys BEFCMU10 by Cisco. I'm using a Powerbook running 10.3.9. I have a snow dual airport.
I can get on the net fine if I connect the ethernet cable directly to the laptop. The airport worked fine as of last night when I disconnected it to move it to reconnect to the new cable modem. It had been configured to use dial-up.
I've tried to reconfigure it to use the cable modem instead but so far no luck.
The airport is on. The airport says it's connected via ethernet.
But I can't get online.
So everything works. But I can't get the laptop to connect to the airport wirelessly. I've tried unplugging and restarting everything.
Is there something else I need to do to switch the airport over to ethernet? Should I have used the Airport Admin Utility instead of the Airport Setup Assistent? It is really annoying having to run a cable from the TV to the laptop.

The cable modem has a mac address for the ethernet. I gave that to my ISP provider and the line is working. I can get on the ethernet by using the ethernet cable directly from the cable modem. But when I hook the ethernet cable to my snow airport, I can't. The "airport fan" is all black, the signal is good. But I get a "10" or a "169" DHCP that won't connect. What's the point of an airport card and an airport station if I have to stretch a cable across the living room?
The airport base station worked fine when I was using the dial up modem. I reconfigured it for the cable modem. It worked once. Then I shut my powerbook off and took it to school. When I came home, I can no longer go wireless. Yes, I reconfigured the network to home in the system preferences.

Yes. This is all verizon information.

Correct.
Incoming mail server is incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing server is outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. I changed the 110 port to 25, and turned off SSL.
Why did you change that port? Incoming is 110, outgoing is 25.
Every time I try to send or receive mail, I get a pop-up box asking for a password. I give it my Verizon password, then mail fails. If anyone has experience with Verizon email, please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have been trying to get the email to work for several hours now.
Check the Verizon site for examples. They will have more than webmail. You don't have to look for anything specific to Apple Mail. There will be settings for Outlook, just use those.

I just upgraded my operating system and can't get the imessage to work. I get a message it check my network connection. But I am able to connect with the internet

I just upgraded to the new operating system on my iphone 4. I am trying to connect to imessage but I can't get it to work. I get a message saying to check my network settings. I have checked and I can connect to the internet. Any idea what I need to do?

If you have updated to iOS 5 then when you want to use messages you need register by going into settings then go to messages and then turn it on and use your apple I tunes ID. You can only use it between other updated devices.

HP PSC 2510 All in One - can't get wireless feature to work with AE

I just got the Airport Extreme 802.11n access point. But I can't get my old HP printer to connect wirelessly. This is an 802.11b device and should be compatible. I can plug it in to the AE and it works, but can't get the wireless feature to work. Any suggestions?

Jimmy5, Welcome to the discussion area!
Personally, I would connect it to one of the LAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
If you do succeed in connecting it wirelessly, it will drag down your wireless speeds.

I have Windows 2003 XP and I cannot get Firefox 4 to work, no matter what I try. Suggestions?

When I install FF4, the search bar and Firefox (larger) icon appear above the search box, but there is absolutely no text on the screen whatsover. I can type in an entry, and the text in the search box does appear, but when I click the "go to" arrow or press <Enter> nothing happens. The screen is completely static. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF4, to no avail...finally, I found 3.6.13 online and reinstalled it, so I can use this browser, but cannot upgrade to 4.0. I have never had this kind of issue when upgrading FF before.

Try going to Firefox 4 Safe Mode and see if it works http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode
If it works go here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes#w_disable-all-extensions
Find the faulty extension, disable it, find a substitute or wait for an upgrade.
