Satellite A100 Hibernate / Standby wake up problems (doesn't work!)

Hi,
I have a Toshiba A100 Satellite PSAARA-055007 with Win XP Home SP3 and current updates.
For the life of me, I cannot get this machine to successfully wake up from standby or hibernate!
It goes into hibernate and standby just fine, but when you try to power it back up or take it out of hibernate or standby it seems to start waking up and then it just hangs without the display ever powering up. The only option is to hard boot the system.
So at present Standby or Hibernate do not work at all.
Anyone? Please help!

>If it's a windows issue, where should I be looking?
You are using Win XP?
In such case you should check the Toshiba Power Saver tool.
First of all you should reinstall this utility. As far as I know the Toshiba Power Saver controls the hibernation and standby mode
But of course; this could not be related power saver but windows in such case just an new installation might be helpful

Wake on Lan doesn't work anymore

Hello all,
I have 3 computers (1 iMac and 2 Mac Mini) connected via Wifi or Ethernet to my router.
One Mac Mini (a Late 2006 under Snow Leopard) is used as a "NAS" with 2 USB external hard drives.
"Wake for network access" is checked in Energy Saver Preference pane.
Everything has worked fine for months : the "NAS" Mac Mini woke up everytime I choose it in the Finder.
But, since an Apple TV update, Wake on LAN doesn't work anymore, and that's the case for my 3 computers.
And I don't know exactly which update has broken the Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
I've tried to restore my Apple TV, without success...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

Yes, anonymous filtering was unchecked and I had singularly forwarded ports 7 and 9 to the static IP address set up in the DHCP, trying UDP, TCP, then both. (I was desperate!). Then I forwarded both ports doing the same thing, UDP, TCP, both. I know it uses UDP, but again, I was desperate. I turned off the firewalls completely and again, as a last resort, I put the computer to be woke up in the DMZ to no avail. It's the firmware (= I'm unimpressed with my first Cisco purchase).

Satellite L650-12Q - Windows 7 recovery procedure doesn't work

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Home Premium edition (64 Bit) in my Toshiba Satellite laptop (L650-12Q) and after a fresh start the Windows stopped working. I have a recovery disk which didn't load (I ended up with the pointer in a blank screen) and the windows 7 installation disk wouldn't work either (same thing). Safe mode doesn't work either.
This probably means that the partition has a problem am I right? - I have used Ubuntu Live CD which confirmed that c:\ cannot be mounted although d:\ can.
The problem however, is two fold: a) I'm not sure whether aspects of my data are accessible or not (I can't check this) and b) I can't re-install Windows, as the Windows 7 installation process doesn't work.
Any ideas please on what to do next? I would like to access the partition, have searched the internet (even tried with a Windows 98/XP boot disc) but didn't have any luck as the partition is written in a newer way, which isn't detected by them...
Thank you in advance.

> I have a recovery disk which didn't load (I ended up with the pointer in a blank screen)...
Do you use it for the first time?
Anyway, try to start recovery disc following these steps:
-Start notebook model and when you see Toshiba welcome screen press F12 several times to enter Boot options
-when the boot menu is shown put recovery disc into optical disc drive
-in menu choose CD/DVD drive and press ENTER
ODD should start reading recovery disc.
What happen when you do this?

How to turn on iphone4 when holding home wake/sleep button doesn't work?

hi
There is no apple logo on the screen when i holding home and wake/sleep button for more than 15 seconds. I am trying to connect the phone to my laptop, however, there is no reaction on iphone or on laptop.
Can anyone help me with that?
Thank you

Sometimes the reset can take 20 seconds or longer. How long have you held it? I would just hold it until you see the logo. Is the battery charged? If the battery has had a chance to discharge, you will have to plug the phone in to charge. If it gets to a point, it may turn on by itself. I would use the main charger for this. Also, if this method doesn't work, and it is not being recognized by the computer you may need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar as there could be a hardware defect causing this problem.

PowerBook Problem Won't wake up, mouse doesn't work etc...

Hello all, thanks for taking the time to check my post.
I have a friend here who's g4 powerbook, when it goes to sleep sometimes it won't wake up. Sometimes the mouse won't work after it wakes up. Are these signs of something that can be fixed by the user or should this machine be serviced?
Thanks in advance ;)!

Hi, Greg Willmott
i have not experienced this kind of problem myself. I would think it has to do with some settings which clash.
I would do:
a) search the forum with the extended search possibilities;
b) reset PRAM (Restart the computer holding down the 4 keys "option-contr-P-R" at the moment of the 1st chime, and keeping them pressed until a second chime)
c) check whether the problem happens if you put the PB to sleep while no application is running - if it happens only if it sleeps while applications are running, it might hint to these, especially their preference settings);
d) check the hardware memory (use disk-utility);
e) repair permissions (with disk-utility as well).
if all this doesn't point to a cause, i would try to reinstall the software from scratch. sorry - this take some time... for this, I would keep the following order:
1) BACK UP EVERYTHING you want to keep;
2) do an "Archive and Install"
3) check whether things are now fine.
if the problem persists, do
4) "ERASE and INSTALL" - performs a complete clean
installation, no old software remains.
if the problem now still persists, I would be inclined
to think that it is hardware, and that Apple has to be
approached;
if the problem has disappeard now, I think it points
at the settings of some applications (or hardware
such as external disk or mouse or...) . The
5) install the different applications one by one and try
after each one - if it shows the system, you might
have found the one which is incompatible with the
others...
sorry, might be a long search- but give it a try.
PLease, post back, Thomas

Satellite A100-570: Battery exchange program utility doesn't load page

I've read in the latest issue of computeractive that some notebook batteries malfunctions and mine was one of those mentioned.
I downloaded the piece of software from Toshiba website to check the battery and indeed it told me my battery was affected. I wanted to put in an exchange application to which I clicked yes.
However, when the page loads up it is unknown. I have a A100-570 and am quite concerned about this matter but trying to get any info from Toshiba is quite difficult by email.
Can anybody help?

Hi
I found on the Toshiba European page a detailed description how to use this tool.
You can find this document here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com -> Support & Download -> Product Updates -> Product Update: Toshiba Voluntary Battery Exchange program
In the section Battery Pack identification you will find a link to the Battery Pack Identification manual and to the Toshiba support bulletin document about Battery Pack Voluntary Replacement Program.
Furthermore I would recommend reinstalling this tool and please check the internet option like Privacy and security in the Internet explorer.
Maybe your IE settings block some third party sites and cookies.

Satellite P200 - Product Recovery Disk 2/2 doesn't work

Hello,
because my laptop (Satellite P200 - I bought it in dec. 2007) didn't work properly anymore - and when after a lot of cleaning up it still didn't work properly - I decided to start from the beginning and restore the operating system with the 2 product recovery cd's/dvd's.
Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
But what abot *Product Recovery Disck2/2*??
At one point the recovery program asks for an 'ADD-ON' but when I put in Product Recovery Disk 2/2 at that moment the program doesn't recognize the disk. During the rest of the recovery program the program doesn't ask for Product Recovery Disk 2/2, so the content of that cd-rom/dvd now isn't loaded on my laptop.
Has anyone had this problem too?
What did you do about it?
Is it a problem not to have loaded the content of Product Recovery Disk 2/2 (can I go without it?)?
Thanks in advance for any reactions!

Hi
> Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
I dont know what Add-ons the tool asked for but as far as I know the Toshiba image contains the Vista OS, Toshiba drivers and the additional software.
So if you have recovered the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk 1 then the notebook should be set to the SAME state like at the first day of purchase.
PS: what files can you find on the second disk?

Satellite L850-1?? - WiFi mouse doesn't work

hi..
first of all its my first time that i am asking a questions about my pc and i dont know very good english so i may have mistakes... moreover i am not a pc expert so if you try to help me be as simple as you can please... and i will begin the story
i got a Satellite L850-1?? and i got one wireless mouse to the laptop... i got the laptop 1,5 year with the same mouse and i got no problems...
yesterday the mouse stop working... i thought maybe its run out of batteries but thats not the problem i check on the internet and saw that maybe its a problem of the mouse itself or my usb ports have the problem... so i try to find the problem..
i take another one wireless mouse and try it to my laptop.. no response with this mouse either... so i am positive that my ports have the problem.. i go to the device manager and check there and it say that my usb ports are working fine...
so i try one wired logitech mouse that i got.. it was the same no response... but the device manager said that the ports were ok so i thought lets try those mouses to my father's laptop... i tried and no problem..
so i am positive thats its someong wrong with my usb ports.. but i try a usb flash and the fun part was that the usb worked fine...
so one the one hand decvice manager says thats usb ports work fine and my usb flash proves that but on the other hand 2 wireless and one wired mouse that working in other pc cant work in my usb ports
do you have any leads to my problem?

> is there a possibility to lock the ports only for the mouses?
No, but if you attachdifferent USB device, the internal USB driver looks for the new attached USB device.
It seems that somehow the USB driver cannot find the USB mouse.
Would recommend you to check this MS knowledge base article how troubleshoots failure to find new mouse connected to your USB port:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/223256
In worst you could recover the unit but to be honest this would be drastic workaround

Purchase billed several times and report a problem doesn't work

Hello I was trying to get 1 month subscription to a newspaper, got an error during the process. Now in the purchase history I see that the my purchase billed 5 times. Tried to follow the steps to report a problem, but when I click on the "report a problem" link next to the purchase it sends me to the iTunes Support page on the browser. Anybody knows what to do to get my money back?

Same problem here, also on Snow Leopard, but I am not planning to move to Lion (I have it on another Mac and it doesn't seem worth upgrading to me...).
Did you resolve the broken Report a problem?

Satellite P10, internal keyboard: The pipe key doesn't work anymore

Hello everybody!
I have a Satellite P10 with WinXP(SP1) for ca. 1 year.
Symptoms: It's about the internal keyboard. I've used the pipe key <|> indeed not everyday, but it worked. And suddenly I see that it's not doing anymore: it's "dead", whereas all other keys are working properly...
My following steps:
1) I've deinstalled the standard keyboard driver (101/102 keys) or Microsoft Natural Keyboard (PS/2), and it was successfully found after Windows starting up. There is no hardware conflict according to the Device Manager or System Information, the driver is running properly...
2) The keyboard layout is German. But I've tested already the English (US) one too: the result is the same.
Questions:
1) Is the key physically damaged?
2) If not, what can I do to fix the problem? Where can I get maybe a newer driver?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Mischa
If you can not use the button at all I assume that the button is defective. It is not known to me that driver update can has influence on just several buttons.
If the unit is about 1 year old the warranty is still valid. You can contact service partner and let them exchange the keyboard.
Bye

Worker Role problems (doesn't work without debugging)

Hello,
I upgraded the OS Version up to 3 last week and everything worked OK. But yesterday worker role stopped working. Windows Azure manager showed that service started up OK. I tried to find problem in code and found out that Worker Role works just great during
the debug only.
Here is ServiceDefinition.csdef code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceDefinition name="Workers" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2013-03.2.0">

<LocalStorage name="CrashDumpsContainer" cleanOnRoleRecycle="false" sizeInMB="1024" />
</LocalResources>
</WorkerRole>
</ServiceDefinition>
Can someone please help? What should I check first?
Thanks!

Hi Alex,
Thank you for advice. I copied the exact connection string from the Azure Management Portal and Worker Role started to work.
Old connection string was:
connectionString="Data Source=xxx.database.windows.net;Pooling=false;Initial Catalog={dbName}; User ID={userName}; Password={password};"
The new one is:
connectionString="Server=tcp:xxx.database.windows.net,1433;Database={dbName};User ID={userName}@xxx;Password={password};Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection Timeout=30;"
Anyway sometimes (very rarely... once in a 2-3 hours) I get next error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL
Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed
to respond.) ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"
Probably do you have some ideas regarding this?
Thanks a lot

When resuming from standby mouse-click/keyboard doesn't work.

When resuming from standby about 80% of the time the mouse on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) stops working. I think it is a software issue. It appears that the mouse will do a click or click and drag but will not let go when removing my fingers. The issue only happens within 5seconds of waking up. The issue is only fixed with a hard reboot. I can bring up the shutdown menu, but am unable to slect shut down as the mouse/keyboard won't give input. This issue was present in Lion and was gone for the first few months of Mavericks but appeared again this week.
I can freely move around the mouse cursor and enter expose with three fingers but cannot select anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use viewToModel() method to get caret position for x, y location. No need to click.

SAMSUNG CLX-216x Problem-Doesn't work. Won't show in printer set-up utility

I have just purchased - yesterday afternoon in fact - a new Multi-Function SAMSUNG Color Lazer MFP CLX-216x - 3 in one Printer, Scanner, Copier.
Although I was assured by the salesman that it would be compatible with a Mac, and it says as much on the box, I am experiencing problems which I have never experienced before when installing printers.
After setting up the printer and turning it on I installed the drivers on my Macintosh MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo processor Running System OX.4.11). The printer is connected to an Apple AIRPORT with a USB Cable.
However, my systems printer set up utility cannot seem to find the installed driver. Nor can it find the printer when connected directly to the MacBook
I have tried the following.
1. Uninstalling the software and re-installing it.
2. Downloading drivers from the SAMSUNG website and installing them + updates of the other software (after uninstalling the older versions)
3. Connected directly with a USB cable to the laptop
4. Searched the manual and SAMSUNG website but can not find any help.
Would you have any suggestions.
Should I take the printer back as I've only just bough it.
Thanks in advance,
William Bell

Hello William,
When you have the printer connected directly to the MBP via USB, and you select to Add the printer, do you see the printer in the Default browser view? If you do not, then you may have a faulty USB cable or a faulty machine.
To check the hardware, you can open System Profiler (Applications > Utilities) and look under the Hardware > USB view. The printer should be shown on one of the USB buses. If you do not see it, then I would try another USB cable first off. It could prove to be a quick fix, and if this is not the problem then it never hurts to have a spare USB cable.

My wake/sleep button doesn't work, and my iphone 4 will not charge so how can i reset it?

i need help

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.
