Satellite A660 Cant get official updates and iTunes-64 wont install

Hi,
I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have some problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
It is a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the toshiba support options allowed - tempro, bulleting board health check etc.
Problem 1:
The toshiba bulleting board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, Display Drivers, Wireless drivers etc.
The only update that (appeared to...it didnt freeze at least ) worked was the broadcom wireless driver update.
So, for the display update, I download the file, extract it, and nothing happens - I have tried running the tinstallwb.exe myself -
I get prompted if I want the program to modify the hard drive, I say yes..and thats the last I hear of it..been trying for hours to get this to work, but i look at a desktop with no activity. In the archive folder, if I try and run the setup.exe (i.e. the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.
Problem 2:
I tried the bios update, that the bulletin board asked me to install...it failed, just didnt want to install.
Problem 3:
I spend most of the time powering down the laptop, as it freezes on the shutdown screen...
Problem 4:
Prob not a toshiba issue - but I cannot install Quicktime or iTunes...the installer just freezes (It doesnt go into not responing though) - I left th elaptop runningn for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64 bit until I had to kill the task (and power down, as shutdown doesnt work)
Any ideas, I've given up on trying to update the updates that the toshiba Bulleting board is telling me to update?
I've tried the obvious update everything I can, but the toshiba updates dont update :(
Other software installed: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.
Thanks for any help,
Andy

Hi
1) You can download all the drivers directly from the Toshiba European driver page.
If you really need an update, then you should download the file, should save it on the HDD, should unzip the package and should either execute the setup.exe or should update the driver from the device manager.
2) Here is a HowTo doc about BIOS update:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60
If this is not possible, then your Windows OS might be muddled up and maybe you should recover the notebook before running a BIOS update.
3) As suggested above; all these issues might be related to the corrupted OS and maybe you need to reinstall the OS to get it working again.
4) see point 3

Sign out from the new Apple ID with iTunes on your computer and sign in with your old iTunes account with iTunes.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Are you sure it's not 6.1.6? If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch. Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

Cant get official Apple test videos into itunes or any mp4

I am using Apple test video files, I got from apple here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
I cant get any video into iTunes.
When I try to drag the video into my ipod I get a pop up saying
"video name.mp4" was not copied because it cannot be played on this ipod
I tried everything I could find online..
Can someone help?
I am using an IPOD Classic.

The videos that will not play, open them and see if they will play in Quicktime first. Also check this artical out and make sure your video is in the format iTUnes supports http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758

Hey i found an ipod and cant get to sync with itunes what do i do

hey i found an ipod and cant get to sync with itunes what do i do

If you mean that you have found "an iPod" - which is not yours, that is, you found it in the street, or in your office/school etc, then you should be handing the iPod into the relevant authority.
If you found it in the street, hand it in to the local police station.
If you found it at school, in your office, public library or similar, hand it in to the lost property office for that buiding/organisation.
After all, if you lost your iPod, wouldn't you ask at the police station etc. and hope that some kind person had handed it in?

I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install!

Hi
I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install, for example it says iPhoto is intalled but its not, i never copied it from the older imac, and i cant download it to this one now
any help appreciated

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or you can use third-party software like Phone to PC to transfer your music.

hi ! just rented a movie through an apple tv and it stopped, i cant get it back and when go to check rentals its like in process and nothing is hapening still in process, why is that? can u fix it?

Mr. Churchill - First, to answer your last questions:
Yes, the movie is fully downloaded, all 3.69 GBs.
No the Apple TV has 127.5 GBs of its 144.63 GBs free.
Second, I tried turning the Time Capsule WiFi rounter and Apple TV off (for at least two or three minutes, not the usual 10 seconds recommended) and I still could not move the movie.
Third, I severed the link and set it up again re-synced all 5,103 items back and still when I move the movies to the Apple TV box and Apply it, after 35 seconds it stops the sync and moves it back the the Rented Movies box.
Though I have set my Apple TV to sync with my MacBook Pro I cannot find a way to connect it to other than shared library, but not the "not shared library" (Is this what the Rented Movies are?). Is what Fletch is talking about int the "Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV" discussion my problem and a solution?

there are three possibilities: you have not upgraded to version 2.0 or in Summary on the ATV device in iTunes, you should look whether you have it set up to only sync or otherwise disables movie syncing, or you have not paired your Mac to the ATV (on your tv, settings/computers/connect to itunes library - not shared library)

Or is it something else?
