Satellite A300 - multimedia LED buttons don't work if iTunes is minimized

Hi,
I own Satellite A300-1C9 (PSAJ4E).
Is it possible to let the "Play/Pause", "RW" and "FF" multimedia LED buttons work even if iTunes is minimized?
Because atm they only work if i actually working in iTunes and from the moment i minimize iTunes to taskbar it stop responding to play/pause etc!!
Thanks,
Jonah

Hello Jonah
I don't use iTunes and cannot comment buttons functionality with iTunes but what I know is that Toshiba don't offer notebooks with preinstalled iTunes and these buttons are, by default, designed to run with Windows Media Player.
You can use these buttons with other players, if possible but Toshiba don't support functionality with any other third part application. For instance, I use these buttons with Winamp and everything works perfectly.

Could someone helt me solve my problem?

Hi
You have to configure the single buttons.
This Toshiba button support pop up will appear if the pressed button was not configured.
So press the button and then assign the action, application.
You have to expand this menu pressing on the small arrow on the right.

Satellite A300-1HV: Illumination button doesn't work

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a Satellite A300-1HV, and while in the store, the salesman showed me that it was possible to turn off the illumination behind the function/media buttons at the top of the keyboard. He seems to do this by simply pressing the first button (the mute button).
When I got the machine home I tried this several times, and it did in fact do as I expected (i.e. turned off the illumination). The manual describes the first button as the 'Mute or LED on/off' button. Later that night I tried the button again, but this time it acted like a mute button, and no longer turns off the illumination. Also, the second button (CD/DVD) no longer seems to function at all, although it does light up when pressed.
I've tried the Toshiba Assist software, and am able to turn off the illumination manually, but the 'Toshiba Button Support' seems to have no affect on either button. I assume that this would allow me to manually configure a program to run when I press one of the two buttons, but no matter what I ask it to run, it does nothing.
It's like there is some piece of software that should be running, driving the keys, that I do not have (or at least no longer have).
Any ideas?

Hi
You can turn this back on in BIOS.
You can access this menu by tapping the F2 key while turning the machine on.
Select the Advanced section and turn Illumination LED on.
Cheers

Volume control buttons don't work for iTunes in speaker mode

Using onboard speakers (no headset on my iPhone 4S, the speaker buttons are not working. In fact the slider ICON in missing in playing music as well as the ringer ICON that comes up when I press the buttons.
I can go into settings, Sounds and manually move the slider for Ringer and Alerts, with "Change with Buttons" set "on, I can then press the volumn buttons on the side and see the slider move up and down (right and left). But as soon as I leave that screen and press either volumn up or down on the side, the Ringer ICON comes up but the slider part is gone.
In this case, there is no sound out of the speakers. However "Siri" works fine.
And in phone mode, I can use speakerphone and hear audio out of the speakers. (In fact in phone mode, speakers or headset works fine).
All other apps the speakers are inop and the volum control buttons are inop.
It's like it's in perminent "mute".

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3938840?start=0&tstart=0
I got out my air compressor and literally blew the S* out of the docking port. I did dock the iPhone to my car dock port as a test, played music through the car. Then undocked and the volume control and speaker sounds all restored.
Not 100% it was cleaning the docking port or that I unwedged the software by docking into some different device.

Music buttons don't work on iTunes anymore

The buttons that control music on iTunes are not working anymore.
Before, to open itunes, I used to press the play button and it would open. Now it doesn't work. Even when iTunes is already open and music is playing, if I try to pause by pressing the button, nothing happens.
The same with the other two buttons.
With other programs, like VLC for example, it works normally.
Can anybody help me, please?

I'm having the same issue.
OS X 10.9.4, iTunes 11.4 (18), MacBook Pro 13'' (late 2013)
With MPlayerX, buttons works normally.

Satellite P305-S8832 - Media buttons don't work with Win7

Hello Wise Friends,
Recently I installed two brand new hard drives (500GB 7200 rpm OS/ 500GB 5400 rpm DATA) and I did a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bits on my 3 1/2 Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832. Everything but the media buttons is working pretty well.
I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba repository including the Toshiba Software installer for Windows 7 and the toshiba valued package. Still those tactile buttons which are above the keyboard and between the speakers does not work, no light, no response, nothing. I have checked the bios.
These buttons work out of the box with Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Any advice?

Hi
Generally speaking, the Multimedia buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and the buttons should work after the installation of VAP.
Found the drivers here:
[Satellite P305-S8832 drivers|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2059997& rpn=PSPC0U&modelFilter=P305-S8832&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663#]
It seems that there is also a newer version of VAP available.
Check other newer Sat P series in order to get latest VAP version.
Furthermore install the Hardware Setup. This tool lets you customize your hardware settings

Satellite P300 - Quick launch buttons don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

I upgraded my Satellite P300 from Vista to Windows 7 professional. Initially everything worked fine, now for some reason the inbuilt microphone and the speakers do not work. I subsequently found that none of my 'Quick Start' buttons work, ie I cannot turn them ON or OFF, so perhaps the quick start Mute button is OFF, hence no sound. A computer check of the Microphone and the Speakers confirm that they are working so I guess the Mute button is On, no sound.
Is there any way I can get the Quick Start buttons to work again or turn the mute button OFF so that I can get sound. The funny thing is the speakers work if I use Skype, but I cannot play a CD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dr Lamp
Thank you for your reply. After upgrading from Vista to windows 7 from the disc everything worked fine, a month later for some reason the sound just stopped. When I play a CD or select music from the computer and double click on the speaker icon I can see the music playing but there is no sound, it is muted, but why I do not know.
It is interesting that you Added Vista stuff because when I had Vista everything worked fine, I just didn't like it much. As I am a novice how did you add it. If I add something, does it run alongside Windows 7 or does it replace some bits. The reason I ask is that in Windows 7 the courser jumps around in Word making writing letters difficult, I have to disable the pointer when writing which is a pain.
Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for your help

Touch sensitive multimedia buttons don't work ! (Toshiba Satellite M645-S4050)

I've Toshiba Satellite M645-S4050. My multimedia touch buttons don't work except Vol+ and Vol-. All of them are making sounds when I touched but no action! 1) I uninstalled Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP), 2) rebooted the machine, 3) installed TVAP then 4) rebooted again. But nothing's changed. 5) I reinstalled all Toshiba Utilities includes Assist and Flash Cards but same result. Also 6) I unplugged the battery and AC adapter because of static energy issue possibility and 7) choosed the default settings from the BIOS menu. Still same ! What am I supposed to do ?

If it's under warranty, I'd send it back to Toshiba and have them fix it right this time. It took 2 repairs for the Depot to fix my problem, by replacing the mother-board.
Call customer relations and try to get it sent to Toshiba "VIP" Tri-Star repair facility in Garden Grove CA 92843, they repair it when their regular service tech's can't get it right the first, or second time.
Fix it now, or it will be a hassle for you as long as you own it.

Satellite A300-1G5 PSAG4E - Multimedia Buttons don`t work properly

My multimedia buttons don`t work properly any more. I`m talking abut the first 2 buttons (Mute and Media Player - buttons).
I just tried to reinstall VAP but it`s the same. I must say i can use Mute button but it won`t shows up that icon for mute.
The Media player button doesen`t work at all.
I just tried to search on this form for a sollution but i couldn`t find it.
All the rest of the buttons (play/pause, stop, next, previews) are working just fine.
As far as i remember 2 days ago all my multimedia buttons worked perfectly.
In this time i didn`t reinstalled OS or any other drivers.
I`m using the last version of BIOS (downloaded from toshiba website) and Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1G5 PSAG4E.
Can you give me some advices about that pls?

Hello there.
I own a Toshiba Satellite A300 psagle.
It works beautifully, but there is a problem: the tactile music buttons don't work.

Hi
Regarding the Toshiba Control Media buttons;
You have to install the Toshiba Controls from the Toshiba European driver page.
Check there the Satellite A300 PSAG8E series and download the Toshiba Controls

Volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore

I did a complete restore from factory DVD and since then the volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore. I have an All-in-One AE1900. Anybody can help me fix this problem? Since I do not have the original keyboard anymore, I can't use the hot key combination to do it. Thanks for your help.

I've had this same problem, but when I am using "Parallels" to run windows programs on my new Macbook Air, with an external Mac LED Cinema Display, the brightness keys on the external apple keyboard do not work. Sound seems to work fine. They work fine in Mac mode.
Any solutions?

"Archive" and "View" buttons don't work after folio update

Hi all,
I have a subscription to the professional edition and I have built a custom viewer app for Android. I have built about 10 folios and at first download all is ok, the folios are displayed without problems and the app works fine except for one issue: "Archive" button don't work, when I tap on it, near folio cover, nothing happens, the folio does not disappear from folios list.
But the serious problem occurs when I perform a folio update from Folio Producer ('Update content' from adobe dashboard DPS): both "Archive" and "View" buttons stop working, nothig happens when I tap tap on them and I am forced to uninstall and reinstall the application on tablet (.apk file) to see folio changes in my custom viewer.
This is very annoying as well as time expensive.
Tablet is Samsun Galaxy Tab SII with Android 3.2.
Any help is appreciated.

To the best of my knowledge, the SII is a smartphone and not a tablet device, and the official claim is (correct me if I'm wrong) that DPS on Android is corrently tablet only.
Anyway, it seems strange to me so checked and found out that even though the DPS apps are not available when you search for them in the Play Market of a smartphone you can still force load them to the phone and run them.
I've done it on both a Samsung SIII running Android 4.0.4 and a Samsung GT-I9070 running Android 2.3.6 (I currently don't have a device running Android 3.2)
The interface is so small that it's hardly possible to use it, but it works.

My Finder is going crazy. Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop. buttons don't work.

Something else you can try.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.
