Satellite A660 webcam not in device listing

Have had A660 PSAW3A-07R00R for a couple of years but unable to use Webcam as it is not in the device listing. I have downloaded the webcam application on several occasions, the most recent being V1.1.1.15, but does nothing after extraction.

Hi,
If you go into the BIOS and look in the Advanced section, is the webcam enabled? Perhaps try resetting the BIOS to default settings.
If still no luck, you may need to send it to an ASP for repair. There is a Service Center list on the mytoshiba.com.au website.

Change to IE or Firefox and check if the same issue would be available using other internet browsers.
I guess its a Google Chrome issue.

Can anyone help i just change the os to win7 64 bit from 32 bit and the webcam doesnt work, i cant even find it on the device list, and when i try to use it says that none webcam are conected, help plz ?

Hi BlackPack,
You probably need to download and reinstall the driver for your Webcam. I checked and it is available for your computer at your computer's website.
Below are the instructions to find and install the driver.
For your computer, the Webcam software is called MediaSmart.
Download New Driver for your Webcam:
If you are having real issues getting your webcam to work, or if you have recently upgraded you Operating System, you may have to reinstall your webcam software.
NOTE: If all else fails and you cannot find a driver for YOUR Operating System, note that sometimes Vista drivers will work on Windows 7; Vista came first - Windows 7 and Vista remain closely related. Just tell your website that you have Vista and see if there is a driver for you under Vista. If even that fails, ask again for assistance and we can look for a driver for you that will work.
Go to the top of the HP forum page to Support and Drivers
Enter your Computer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Scroll down
Look for category Software - Multimedia
Select the appropriate Cyberlink YouCam Software OR MediaSmart Webcam Software – if available for your system
Save the appropriate *.exe installation package on your computer
NOTE the name and the location - the *.exe file will likely save to "Downloads “
I hope this helps!

Bookmark your Website!
Because you just changed your OS, you might want to Bookmark the link to your computer's website so you can check back to it in case you need to pick up other software or drivers at a later time. There is a lot of information at your website: manuals, how-to documents, software and drivers.

TV tuner on my Satellite A660 would not work

Hi,
I purchased a Toshiba Satellite A660-07S a couple of months ago and then reinstalled the Windows 7 32 bit system in order to have a few more partitions. But I did not delete the hidden partition from the system just in case I have to restore to factory settings.
Now I have moved to an remote area and need some TV but only to find out that the tuner was not working. It is detected properly under sound and gaming devices in device manager. Yet when I use windows media center to scan channels. The WMC just said the software had encountered a serious error and please retry.
Then I tried to use Blaze DTV which is also a very popular DTV software. It successfully recognised the Tuner but will not scan either.
I did a bit of research and used the TV tuner setup trouble-shooter from Windows 7. The warning message is that "the Tuner is not properly configured to be used in Windows Media Center". And the details show that the tuner is connected but not enabled for WMC.
But how can I enable the tuner for WMC then?
Really hope someone can help as I am freaking out now in a remote town in NT.
Thanks!

Sounds like Windows or WMC may be corrupted. I would try a System Restore to revert the system back to a previous date.
Also ensure the channel width in WMC is set to 7mhz, not 8mhz.
Also update the BIOS.
If that's no help, then back up your important data and run Recovery to reimage the HDD back to its factory state.
To run Recovery, turn on the notebook and hold the 0 (Zero) key down.
You should create Recovery Discs first, there should be an icon on the Desktop, or use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator from the Start Menu.
Now if it still doesn't work after a fresh Windows install, then there could be a hardware problem. In which case, you would need to send the notebook to a Toshiba Service Center.

1st gen Apple TV not in devices list in iTunes

My 1st generation AppleTV is no longer showing in the devices list in iTunes on my Mac Pro. I have read several pieces of advice and performed the following long list of actions but I am still stuck and unable to sync my Apple TV. I hope someone has a new suggestion for me?
The AppleTV has had the computer removed from the connections setting. It has been rebooted and left on the connect a new computer screen with the numerical password visible.
The AppleTV can be seen visible in the iTunes of my Macbook Air running 10.8.3 and the iTunes version is 11.0.2. I have not 'clicked to setup' since my main library is on my Mac Pro that used to sync. I can ping appletv.local from my macbook air succesfully which returns an IP address.
My MacPro is running OSX 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.2 and one day the device failed to show in the devices menu. I cannot ping appletv.local from my Mac Pro but I can ping the IP address returned from the ping on my Macbook Air.
At first I removed the device from iTunes preferences and removed the computer from the AppleTV which allowed me to see the AppleTV on my Macbook Air but not my Mac Pro.
Secondly I used AppZapper to uninstall iTunes and reinstalled from a fresh download as r4ecommended here -> http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329494-263.html I also used Pacifist to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service after removing the service as per the instructions here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 My iTunes library is back as it was but my other devices were originally missing until I connected them via USB to re-enable the wifi sync.
I can see my shared libraries between my MacPro and my Macbook Air. I can also use Airdrop between them and can connect between them as usual. I have disabled the firewall on my Mac Pro just in case and I have no VPN or antivirus software that blocks any communication.
My network setup is a little unusual since I have my ISP router as the DHCP assigner connected to an Airport Extreme base station that acts in bridge mode to distribute a wifi network across my home. I then have a powerline adapter connected to the airport base station to send network around my home to places where wifi is weak. My macbook air connects to the wifi. My MacPro connects via a switch in my office to a 2nd powerline adapter. My AppleTV connects via a 3rd powerline adapter and can see the internet fine (it plays youtube videos for example). None of the network devices have any ports blocked on them and since the Macbook Air connects to the AppleTV as expected but the MacPro does not then I do not think it is network related.
So I can only assume there is something wrong with my MacPro being unable to recognise my AppleTV as an AppleTV rather than just another device on my network. Anyone else got any ideas of what to try on my MacPro to get it to recognise the AppleTV?

I am still experiencing this issue - can anyone help?
Since writing the above replies I have also tried to downgrade iTunes to 10.7 via these instructions -> http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/03/how-to-downgrade-from-itunes-11-to-version- 10-7-on-your-mac/ but that did not work. iTunes worked fine but the AppleTV was still not in my devices list on my Mac Pro

Satellite A660 - Will not boot up and HDD boot fail

Hi,
firstly thanks for your time.
Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)
The problem started yesterday, the computer was going slow as an application closed, so I held the off button untill the pc turned off. When I restarded the laptop it went to a screen saying: Start windows normally or repair Windows (recomended)
When started normally it just hangs at a blank screen, the repair Windows recommends a system restore to earlier point which didnt work. As it just hangs again. I tried pressing F8 and starting in safe mode but again it just hangs. Then after a few times trying safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After this the computer goes past the Toshiba logo screen with F2 and F12 options (which both still work), and then it comes up boot failed then goes blank and comes with boot failed bootfailed with some numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box titled boot menu with 4 options.These are
HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX
CD/DVD MAT****ABD-CMB UJ141ES
FDD
LAN
If I press ESC it goes through the bootfailed loop and ends up at same screen, if I press enter on "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then it quickly comes back to screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] is failed.
I dont understand why it got worse over time. Can anyone think of why this has happend and more importantly how can I get my pc working again? Note: holding 0 then starting does nothing for me atm
regards, Matthew

All you people looking here on this dead thread.....
Toshiba A660 laptops are renowned for having hard drive fails and boot up problems after grinding to a halt.
My solution (after losing 3 hard drives [and a terabyte of family treasured times]) is the following.
Use MALWAREBYTES (free download and use for 28 days)
Scan and fix. Mine found over 300 trojans that 2013 Norton 360 could not find.
Re-boot into safe mode.
SCAN again.
Re-boot and empty the malwarebytes repair files it retains...
Run Norton/McAfee (whichever you have) and you should still have no issues.
Make a back-up repair disc. Ooooops......no you cant...........at least my laptop can`t.
I don`t know why.....
Tell me tosh..... why does windows x64 refuse to allow me to make a system boot disc (even though the laptop is all driver updated and Windows updated)?
Uninstall MalwareBytes when Norton/McAfee tells you there will be a conflict between the two programs.
It tells you to re-boot after uninstalling it.
Then when it re-boots you get a black screen. You cannot even get to bios. You think ytour laptop is turned into a brick frisbee. You pull out the battery in frustration after five minutes.
You replace and re-boot....but again you get no bios or boot up.... you think its destroyed the Bios or graphics somehow....youo can hear the hard-drive but you have no clue whats going on..
Around this time you shake the laptop in frustration.....
Calm down.
Switch on and leave FIFTEEN MINUTES....Ten of which will be a Black nothing screen with maybe a single white underscore line in the top left corner.LEAVE IT ALONE.
Make a sunday dinner for ten people....When you go back to the computer it will be up and running.
When you re-boot again, it will be dead black for five minutes...then boots up... you still think it has a problem... LEAVE IT.
When you reboot again it should work perfect (assuming you have not been overheating it by using it on a cushion on your lap and overheating the insides [use a laptop fan tray]) if you have not shaken your hard drive or caused scrambled damage by pulling the power fifty times like some people do.
I have lost three hard drives and thousands of Gigabytes of treasured family memories discovering the secret the hard way.
Enjoy.
Buy a different brand next time.
ALL Windows system files should be on a SWITCHED (to update) version of Windows.
Spinning drives should be for Data only.

I recommend loading the classic firmware and not enabling cloud connect with this router. This way you have consistent dependable operation.

Satellite A660 - Touchpad not working

I have a Satellite A660-16Z and the touchpad doesn't work at all even if it is enabled with F9.
I must use an external usb mouse.
I tried several times to unistall and reinstall the touchpad driver got from toshiba site without success.
In the beginning,after purchase,I remember the touchpad was working but I used an external mouse anyway.
From that time I upgraded the bios to 2.00 plus W7 upgrades and service pack 1.
Any idea appreciated.

Hi
Does the touchpad work if the USB mouse is disconnected?
As far as I know there is a option which disables the touchpad automatically if the USB mouse has been connected.
You can find this option in: control panel -> mouse -> Pointing device
Check this.

Satellite A660 does not go into hibernate mode

I tried everything I can see on Windows site to no avail.
If anyone can help would be appreciated,
Jeff

Hi
So new OS installation did not fix this?
Strange!
Try this:
Type in Start menu: CMD and then hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open the Command Prompt with Admin rights.
Now black DOS window should open.
Now type: powercfg /hibernate on
Then type: exit to leave the box
Then type Power Options in Start menu and hit enter.
Now choose the power plant you are using and click on Change plan settings
Now choose Change Advanced Power settings.
Then choose Sleep and choose ON for Allow hybrid sleep
Now you should see in Start menu new Hibernate entry.
This should help you to use hibernation mode.

Satellite L450D Webcam not working after new installation without recovery

Hi there,
as posted in the thread title I have a problem with the integrated webcam of a customer notebook. Two days ago the operating system of this laptop was damaged by a virus and needed to be re-installed. I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
The only thing that worked was a clean install with a windows 7 64 Bit retail dvd and the key printed on the sticker of the laptop. I managed to get everything working again except one part - the webcam.
No driver installation, bios update and re-installation worked to get this part to work.
Did anyone of you know this problem and have a fix for me?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Saphire
P.S.: One thing shall be also important. When I look into the installed devices manager the driver for the webcam is listed as usb webcam and the manufaturer of it is Microsoft.

Hi
I dont think that this needs to be fixed because I dont think its hardware related issue.
I think there is something wrong with the software on your notebook.
I mean everything worked perfectly until virus has damage the OS. Right?
You said this:
>I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
I really wonder why you could not get this working using Recovery disk.
So possibly this is the key to this issue
On the Toshiba European driver page I could find Registry Patch v1.1 For Win 7 64bit
Also webcam driver v 1.1.1.4 is available there
I think the OS is responsible for your issue possibly some patches are applied or similar

Apple TV 1st or second generation not in devices list

After upgrading to Yosemite and reading a lot about how to RE connect my Apple TV to my home network even though I kept getting false message of being successful.
Finally I took an Airport Express I use on a speaker system and plugged it in the Apple TV I was able to get a complete address for the connection.
By mistake I wiped off the synced movies and photos and what ever I had working just fine except ATV not showing in my I tunes to further sync.
I opened the port and tried a dozen other things and finally Airplay played my music on the TV speakers, but no data on my ATV.
This is a fine piece of expensive storage and up until now it has been a treasure in my household.
To make a long story shorter I took the ATV and plugged it in the power and connected it to my I MAC with a DSL cable. It is Syncing.
At least it will get my data onto this HAS BEEN Great unit.
I spent so much time just trying to enter the pairing number the ATV gave to enter on the Device section. Of course this is what needs to be fixed
by Apple. For heavens sake! ADD BACK THE ATV TO THE DEVICE SECTION so it can be directed to SYNC!!!!!!!!!
This is not yahoo or google or microsoft TV IT's APPLE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am connecting to the Internet through an AT&T modem and a Time Capsule. Even the AT&T unit recognized my ATV to give it permission
to the port settings. Why on earth would my Fabulous I MAC play dumb and not recognize it.
Please FIX the problem.
Thank you,
Elisabeth

This is the message you gave me DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM????????????

Hi Winston,
Working with 1st Generation ATV A1218 Model. I MACUpgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite 10.10.1.
Before the update automatic Sync was seamlessly working. I had I photos, Music and Movies on the ATV. I wish I did not clear all data inadvertently
in my un successful attempts to wirelessly re connect to my home network. I figured things would find their bearings as all the Apple equipment always has in my past experience. Apple care has graciously helped out when I got stuck. Even in this case an apple Rep. suggested to plug in the Airport Express to get the proper connection address. I happily told him, I can figure out the rest. Well; maybe not so fast.
I am not sure where I stand on what is on my ATV after the direct DSL method connection to SYNC from my I MAC since we have not turned on ATV since that event. We listen to all the News Interviews Sunday mornings.
I did try a test on the DSL cable Music sync by creating a play list of smooth jazz in order of artists. After the sync finished on the DSL cable connect,
I decided to change the Jazz to the title of the songs by creating a new play list and deleting the one with artist order. I asked the RE sync and the darn thing pretended doing it but the information stayed the old artist order.
As you can see this is a work in progress and will keep you posted on the progress. Thank you for your response. Happy New Year.
Elisabeth
The bottom line is, I am able to play music from my computer to ATV probably through AirTunes which is just fine to three different speakers at the same time, but I liked to see all my lovely pictures while music played and I really don't want all the movies I have purchased clogging up my IMAC and while my future purchases will very likely be housed on ATV I kind of like the way it worked seamlessly before.
At this point I just wonder if not being able to enter a PAIRING NUMBER on my IMAc is really the stumbling block of the SYNC deficiency.
Hope this is not too confusing.

Satellite A660 - program not responding for a mili-second

Hi,
Sometimes the program I am using flashes into a non-resonsive mode.
For a milli-second or so the program stops and the desktop image appears then disappears again.
Sometimes it happens only once but in some programs it happens continually and they become impossible to use.
I have a A660 running Windows 7, 32bit with an intel i7.
I have loaded all the latest upgrades for the graphics card and drivers.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

Hi mate
This is ok.
You will always notice an delay while loading some software or applications.
This happens because software is loading in RAM.
It depends also on processes which are running in the background.
The background processes can stress the CPU and this can affect the app execution or can lead to some short delays
To improve this, i recommend cleanning the OS using CCleaner and to disable some porocesses which are not really important for you.
You can do this is msconfig
