Satellite A500-026 - Can't do anything that involes networking
I bought a Satellite A500-026 and just took it out of box.
Cannot do anything that involves networking, they all freeze or load up blank, internet explorer does not open up at all. I cannot turn my firewalls on or antivirus on.
Not to mention for a new machine with a P8800 processor its pretty slow (my 5yo laptop is faster).

Hello
I really don't know what do you do with your notebook and believe me it would be nice to see how the first start looks like.
In my opinion you should start HDD recovery installation again and start your notebook again with clean preinstalled OS.
When installation is finished and all processes are running the first thing you should do is to connect LAN cable to your notebook and start internet explorer.
I am 100% sure you will get LAN signal and be able to see start page.
We don't know what you do exactly. Maybe you have installed some third part software or changed OS settings. Fact is that clean preinstalled OS will not have such problems.

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHeroIf you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky

I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6. Is there a suitable hard drive? I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in. 500GB should be more than adequate.Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Since I updated I can't open anything that comes in a pop upwindow i.e. pdf or mail window. How can I solve or go back to the previous version - it worked just fine.
I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
If your problem is something else please give more details. -
How do i reset my security questions? I can't find anything that will let me change them
I need to reset my security questions but i can't find anything that says reset questions here.
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which will normally be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use -

My 4th generation iPod touch is not allowing me turn both my WiFi ans Bluetooth on. I can't do anything that involves internet, not even downloading apps, which is decieving...
Sounds like this problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Satellite A500 PSAM3A - Can I install a backlit keyboard?
Hello,
i have a Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop with the following numbers i can find: P7350 part number PSAM3A-04200E serial number- 79365650K.
I would like to install a backlit keyboard onto it,
Is this model compatible?"Hi
Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E seems to belong to Toshiba Australian notebook series.
In order to use a backlit keyboard, the motherboard needs to provide a special connector/port for keyboard illumination cable.
You could get some details from a Toshiba ASP in Australia

But I found some parts retailer and many of them provides keyboards W/O BACKLIGHT -
Issues with sound and scroll function on touchpad on my Satellite A500/026
Hi
I have just brought a new A500/026 laptop and when I play music from my ipod I get a small pop static sound on regular intervals during the song... this happens on all my music. I accidentally scroll horizontally across my touhpad and my screen minimises or maximises. I try to locate how I did it but can never seem to get it back to its normal state. There is obviously some kind of function here, can anyone help me with what this is? I have installed the x64 bit version of windows 7.
Thanks
EddieHi
The touchpad settings are placed in control panel -> mouse
There you will find the additional tab which would allows you to access the touchpad properties.
As far as I know the touchpad properties contains a lot of different options which allows you to configure the scroll function, to enable and to assign different actions to the touchpad corners, etc

Satellite A500/026: problems streaming/watch videos online
Hi,
I wasnt sure where to ask for some help, so i figured id start here since i just purchased my Toshiba A500/026
basically im having problem watching/streaming videos online. doesnt matter the source of the video, youtube, megavideo, veoh. the problem is i have to wait for the whole video to load and then it starts playing. i cant watch it as it streams.
it doesnt tell me its loading, it just shows a black screen and then all of a sudden it will show that the bar is full and the video starts, now this is fine on short vids as it doesnt take long, but for movies it usually fails as they take too long to load so the site will usually come up with some error.
Now ive search on the web and i cant find this problem else where, ive checked that i have the latest abode flash installed and the debugging driver. i usually use firefox, but im getting the same problem on IE.
any help would be approeciated.
Thanks in advance.Hi
This is very strange and I never heared about such an issue.
What security software (Antivirus) have you installed? Maybe its blocking something or the firewall. You should disable it and try it again - Just for some tests. ;)
Do you run factory settings (preinstalled OS) or another Windows? Maybe you should try it with factory settings again -
Missing Audio Device (Microphone) on Satellite A500-026 (PSAR2A 026002)
Hello list!
I have a Toshiba A500-026 laptop for presentations (via overhead projector) and internet communications (Skype, etc.).
At a recent presentation, I was to use the in-house speakers of the venue (plug into line-out socket on my A500), but was getting feedback from my inbuilt microphone, which I had been successfully using as part of my Skype (using the in-built webcam and microphone on the A500). I tried every solution to cut the microphone (selecting RIGHT CLICK Speaker Icon - Recording Devices did not appear to cut the Microphone) and eventually the pressure and stress of the situation over-rode my taking note of what I was actually doing.
Now, I do not have ANY 'recording devices', AKA Microphones, on the system, and I have been spending the last 4 days trying to reinstall the in-built microphone. I have reinstalled the RealTek Drivers, but still there is no Microphone identified.
Any help for reinstituting the A500 in-built microphone would be gratefully accepted!
Megan in SydneyHi
You should check if the microphone has not been disabled.
Go to control panel -> sound -> recording tab
There you should make a right click and should enable the both options called show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
Now you should see 2 microphone entries; one internal mic and second should belong to the external mic jack.
If you want to use the internal mic then mark it as default device.

Satellite M30: I can not lock in my wirelesss network
Hello folks,
I have a Satellite M30 and since yesterday I can not lock in my wirelesss network. Every now and then I can see the network, but I can not make a connection. Additional the sound and mousepad is stuttering when the wireless is turned on, both is fine when wireless is switched of.
I recovered the system, but the problem is still there.
Any help for me out there?
StephanHi Stephan
It is always interesting when someone write since yesterday. Believe me who knows what did you done and now there is some negative influence on to WLAN. In this case I am pretty sure that there is some mistake caused by you. Check WLAN settings on the unit and on your router too.
I really dont know what is wrong with sound and mouse. Does this issue occur if the unit is connected on to AC adapter or just under battery power supply? -
I did a new form. and to show the new form i'm doing in Form1:
ScanningClouds sc = new ScanningClouds(Next_File);
sc.FormClosing += sc_FormClosing;
sc.Show();
And in the new form i have a pictureBox in the designer and i display things on it the new form code is a bit long.
Now instead showing everything on the new form pictureBox i want to display it on the form1 pictureBox1.
How can i do so when i click the button to show the new form instead it will not show the new form but only pass anything to the form1 pictureBox1 and show it on the form1 pictureBox1 ?
This is the new form constructor:
public ScanningClouds(string InitGifFile)
InitializeComponent();
pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 3);
formloadfirsttime = true;
numericUpDown1.Value = 200;
brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
trackBar2.Minimum = 1;
trackBar2.Enabled = false;
bmpnew = new Bitmap(512, 512);
label1.Text = "";
radar_scale = Properties.Resources.radar_scale_heb;
label1.Width = radar_scale.Width;
label1.Height = radar_scale.Height;
label1.Image = radar_scale;
path_exe = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath);
ScanClouds = Path.Combine(path_exe, ScanClouds);
if (!Directory.Exists(ScanClouds))
Directory.CreateDirectory(ScanClouds);
ConvertedBmpDir = Path.Combine(ScanClouds, ConvertedBmpDir);
if (!Directory.Exists(ConvertedBmpDir))
Directory.CreateDirectory(ConvertedBmpDir);
radarImagesDirectory = Options_DB.Get_Radar_Images_Download_Directory();
radarImagesDirectory = Path.Combine(path_exe, radarImagesDirectory);
dir1 = new DirectoryInfo(radarImagesDirectory);
trackBar1FileInfo = dir1.GetFiles("*.gif");
trackBar1.Minimum = 0;
trackBar1.Maximum = trackBar1FileInfo.Length -1;
trackBar1.Value = trackBar1.Maximum;
b = new Bitmap(InitGifFile);
b1 = new Bitmap(InitGifFile);
pictureBox1.Image = b;
ConvertedBmp = ConvertTo24(InitGifFile);
mymem = ToStream(ConvertedBmp, ImageFormat.Bmp);
startButton.Enabled = true;
pauseButton.Enabled = false;
It's getting file name now and i'm converting it to bmp and put it in the pictureBox.
But instead the local new form pictureBox1 i want to display it on the form1 pictureBox1.Once again we can refer to BonnieB's blog on the subject.

Got new Satellite A500/026 but i want Windows XP
J just bought a new A500 and i think its just great the only problem is that i dont like windows 7.
I want to revert to windows xp.
Can i do this and still keep all the toshiba features?Hi
If you want to use Win XP then you will need to install the Win XP using the clean MS Windows XP CD.
But the point is that Win XP are not available for A500 because this is a new machine and newer notebooks are preinstalled always with newer Win 7.
You will have to search for Win XP drivers at your own hand and you will not be able to use all the preinstalled tools by Toshiba such tools are available only in Toshiba image and are not ready for download.
