Satellite A300-GN1 - HDD loads something every time

Hello,
When pc is loading up to desktop, after ~1minute HDD starts loading something about 15-3-minutes (maybe checking or so).
Also when I finish any game HDD starts loading something.
Maybe someone knew how to fix it?
I thought that it is auto defragment problem, but it doesn't...
Vista home edition sp1.

I assume there is nothing wrong with your notebook.
I think this is a Vista feature.
Vista always indexes the HDD to improve the desktop search.
If you don't use this feature much you can disable it.
Use the command Services.msc in the start run.
Scroll down to "Windows Search" double click it and mark it as Disabled
But personally I would not recommend disabling this because this would slow down the searching.

I get the "Fast Browser Plugin not loaded" message every time i run safari and I can't find an MTWB folder anywhere on my hard drive?

I get the "Fast Browser Plugin not loaded" message every time I run Safari and I can't find an MTWB folder anywhere on my hard drive? This doesn't seem to be causing a problem, but is a puzzle?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

Iphoto wants to connect to something every time i open?

hello my ilife 09 is asking to connect to something every time it is opened. it says something like i photo wants to connect to google.com tcp port 443 and it also sometimes says it wants to connect to apple.com for something similar?

As NU Apple says, the Google connection is for Maps in the Places feature.
It checks with Apple for available updates.

Satellite A300-1IW: HDD access light blinks every seconds

Hello everyone, and sorry for the english, I'm french :)
I bought a Satellite A300-1IW few days ago and suddently (didn't remember exactly when) the HDD access light start to blink every seconds and it continues even after several reboots!
It only does this with Vista; I checked the disk activity with "diskmon" and I saw that even if there were *no* *disk* *writing* *or* *reading* the led continued blinking, so I think it's not related to some vista services (superfetch, indexing...)
I saw on a Microsoft support a similar problem but it was under windows 98 and with old motherborads!
see : Link: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138598]
It seems so that it's related to Vista SCSI or DVD quering...
I now that's not critical but it's annoying to have this led blinking all the time
Have any idea? Do you think it could be related to the bios? I want to be sure before touching this because it's always delicate.
Thanks for your help

In my opinion nobody must offer any comment because you already given the answer. This is nothing unusual and definitely no reason for panic.
What to do about it? What you want to do? Sorry but it is really stupid question. I can just offer you one stupid answer. ;) Take some black adhesive tape and cower the LED. ;)

Satellite A300-PSAG8E - HDD indicator is blinking even when i do nothing

these are my problems
1. My HDD indicator is blinking even when i do nothing ( blinks every half second or so)
2. When I go somewhere my display turns off and when I move my mouse display turns on but nothing is happening. Everything is standing still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes ) and than he is ready to work.
Upgraded BIOS to version 2.20
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG8E
Anyone know the solutions?
Need help please! Thank you

> 1. My HDD indicator is blinking even when i do nothing ( blinks every half second or so)
Even if you dont touch the notebook, the HDD is running and different applications access the data. The applications and processes which are running in the background would cause this blinking. Note; this is not a problem!
> 2. When I go somewhere my display turns off and when I move my mouse display turns on but nothing is happening. Everything is standing still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes ) and than he is ready to work.
Disable the stand by modem and disable the settings which disable the screen while notebook is not in use. This can be done in Windows 7 power management.

When loading firefox i get an error message, "can't find ////jpsnotify.exe. now firefox loads but every time i go into anything else it appears. this started to happen when i downloaded a new verison of java.

i downloaded a new version of Java and i then started getting "windows can't find c:\java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\ff\..\..\..\bin\jqsnotify.exe. now this only happens when loading firefox. it happens through out the use of firefox when loading other programs. any suggestions?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Try re-installing Java. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
A quick search for jqsnotify.exe on Google indicates that it is related to the Java quick start option.

Have Directv connecting to airport Extream movie down load fails every time.time

Cannot down load movies to new directv converter. Airport Extream seems to drop the
wi-fi connection every time. Reset the system and it drops when start down load?

I had the same thing happen two days ago with my d-link wireless router. I could see that the connection icon (ice cream cone) was connected, but it wouldn't connect in safari.
I hadn't loaded any new updates or anything. The only thing that happened was that the power was interrupted in the middle of the night, and I had to reboot the router. My other computers(laptop/desktop) came back and worked fine, but my MBP running 10.4.11 wouldn't connect.
It was still under 90 day warranty, so I called APL-CARE. They said that one of the recent updates, required me to change the security settings on the router. Apple only felt that running a WPA account was the safe way of using wireless. I was running on WEP. So I went into the router(in my browser) and turned off security all together. Sure enough my MBP worked. I then changed the setting to WPA, and gave it a new password.
I went back to all my computers, logged into all of them with the new security settings/password and I am all online now.
Hope that helps you too.

Satellite Pro A120 goes through configuration every time turned on

Please help for the last month every time i turn on my laptop Satellite pro A120 with vista business pre-installed it configures which takes about an hour.
After it finally turns on it repairs itself and then when on the McAfee warns it needs updating.
I have tried installing updates, I have tried turning off the automatic updates, only thing i haven't tried is throwing it out of the bedroom window.
If you can help please keep your language simple as i don't have much technical knowledge.
Thanks in anticipation.

Can you explain how it 'repairs itself' ?
To rule out a software/Windows problem, you can reinstall Windows back to its factory state by running "Recovery".
But you need to backup your data (documents, music, emails, etc..) before running Recovery. It will wipe/delete C: Drive.
To run Recovery, hold down the Zero (0) Key when you power-on the laptop.

Win XP on Satellite A300 - SATA HDD slow - eats CPU

Hello,
I just got a brand new A300-1lA for my job.
Since we have to install XP rather than Vista, I formatted the beast.
After a long afternoon tracking down every driver, it seems I still have problems.
When I initiate a file transfer between the two disks or from the LAN, the cpu load rises to abnormal levels (50% - 70%).
I suspect there's a problem with the disks controller
Now, for the install to work, I had to go into the BIOS and set the SATA controller to "Compatibility".
Could this be the source?
Thanks in advance
OH and BTW : I tried to install the drive manager from the Toshiba Website, but it says my computer doesn't have the required configuration

Just wanting to say that I accidentally deleted a part of my last post.
The answer I found was to reinstall XP, but this time with a custom nlite-ed disk including the Intel drivers.
With that, I could set the SATA controller as "AHCI" rather than "Compatibility" , and XP had no problem. The drive now works perfectly.
So, it seems I had problem with the IDE emulation

Premier Pro CC 2014 has suddenly stopped loading. Every time I try to launch it after a few moments I get an error message

"Sorry a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier to shut down. THis only started today and I have been using Premier without issue until then. There was an adobe update a few weeks ago but it worked fine afterwards. This is a nightmare as I need to finish a large project and I cant even open it at the moment. I did see some blog posts with similar issues referring to third party plug ins from RedGiant software. I do have Colorista II so I followed the instructions t disable it but it made no difference. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using a 2011 iMac, 3.4Ghz Core i7 32GB Ram and AMD Radeon HD 6970M

IF you got a kernel panic, then you may need more than a time machine backup. I would be inclined to run Disk Utility verify disk (and repair disk from Disk Utility on the installer DVD if verify disk showed problems) then I would download and reinstall the 10.6.2 combo update. It can be gotten at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
If Mail still crashes on launch after that, maybe try reinstalling Mail from the "optional installs" package that is on the installer DVD -- you can pick onesey-twosey from a select list of OEM applications, that includes Mail, to reinstall.
In either event, I would run software update after a combo update and/or mail reinstall to make sure everything is back up to the latest and greatest. Lastly, maybe a "rebuild mailbox."

Satellite C650 - Windows Photo Viewer freezes every time in use

Hello all,
my C650 is a brand new purchase and so far I haven't been able to view any photos; on a memory stick, in "My Pictures" or in any form using the Windows Photo Viewer. Once I double click on the picture icon, the image enlarges to full screen and freezes whilst "loading" is displayed.
At this point, I can't even end the process using the windows task manager. I'm only a student and quite inexperienced with the workings of computers, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Please dont understand me wrong but best option for you will be to ask some friend of you how it works and how to handle with different picture formats and different applications.
I mean who knows which photos do you have, which format, which capacity and so on.
With standard jpg format there should not be any problem. For instance, in windows explorer you can find folder Public pictures with some sample pictures. Can you open these pictures?

Please Stop Trying to Sell Me Something Every Time I Hit the Guide Button

Dear Verizon,
It is very frustrating when I hit the Guide button and have to wait about 30 seconds for an advertisement for the latest on demand movies. This is going to drive me back to Comcast!

Fortunately you can turn these off in the STB settings. turn off popups and promotions.

Zzxc: I am having problems with Firefox and a Google gadget score board on my Google home page. Every time I go to my Google homepage, a file called "scores.htm" downloads into my Firefox download. I can have at least 50 of those files downloaded over t

You have chosen to open “scores.htm”
What should Firefox do with this file?
-Open with: Firefox (default), or other
-Save file?
Do this automatically for the files like this one.
I chose cancel and when I rebooted the Google page the same window came up.
I don’t want to open with or it will open with something every time I come back to Google.
The best option until this is resolved is to “Save File” and that continues to down load into the “Download Firefox” folder.

When I go to my Google page with the sport scores gadget on, Firefox download, in the downloads window a file "scores.htm" everytime. Consequently I have 10's if not 100's over time of scores(1), (2)(3).htm respectively. How do I stop it?
