Satellite C55-A-1N1 - multi touch and downloading Toshiba Life Space

Hello people,
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1 and the Multi-touch functionality has stopped working. It is not recognising any swipes or pinches or rotation movements.
Furthermore, i would like to enquire how i can download Toshiba Life Space on this laptop please.
I would really appreciate your time and support in this matter please.
Thank you very much!

Hi
Check please touchpad settings (Properties for Synaptics) and touchpad functionality. Be sure all options you need are enabled.
Toshiba Life Space
I presume you want to use Bulletin Board and Reel Time, right? If Im remembering well this was offered few years ago and it was worked with older machines and Windows 7. These applications can be downloaded on Toshiba support and download page but I don't know if they will work with Win8.

Satellite C55-A-1N1 - How to repair Windows 8.1 after trying Linux?

Hi,
Laptop: Satellite C55-A-1N1
In my infinite wisdom I tried to install Linux in a dual boot scenario like my old laptop. I shrunk the main windows partition in windows 8.1 first and then installed linux to that partition. After rebooting, Linux worked but not windows since I had to disable secure boot and set bios to CSM for linux to load.
After putting secure boot back to on and bios to EFI, windows no longer boots. I tried to repair the windows operating system by running the repair tools from another Win8.1 DVD but they didn't repair the booting. I subsequently learned that holding zero at boot brings you to the hidden recovery partition.........except my doesn't!
So, I have checked the windows and recovery partitions are intact but I cannot get to the recovery partition or repair the windows installation with windows 8.1 repair tools. No, I don't have any backups, other images or system restore options. Clever, aren't I? I only have the original recovery partition (which I can't access) and windows partition to play with. I don't want to lose my OEM Windows 8.1 license...
Any ideas how to salvage this windows installation?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You have made the same mistake as many other people. On this forum we have discussed so many times how it works and tried to explain how all this works.
In users manuals is clearly described that every notebook owner should create recovery media (DVD or USB) and this created recovery media can be used for recovery image installation in case that HDD recovery option doesn't work or in case that HDD is defective and must be replaced.
As I can see you don't have this recovery media. Fact is that HDD recovery installation can be started if notebook has factory settings only. After your Linux experiment this option is gone and there is no way to start it again.
What you can do now? I know it sounds stupid now but if you want to install original recovery image you need to order new recovery media and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Satellite C55-A-1N1 - TOSHIBA Addendum error

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1 and am having some problems.
When I try to open the TREXlauncher under C:\Program Files (x86)\TOSHIBA\Addendum it comes up saying that there is an error and that the program has closed.
It creates an error log which says that there is no command line argument.
I am wondering what other peoples experiences have been of this and would appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks,
Ash

Hello PauPau,
Thanks for the advice. I have noticed on the start menu a shortcut to the same file location mentioned in my question called "Additional Information" which opens up a PDF entitled "Using Windows 8.1".
There is also similar shortcut called "TOSHIBA User's Manuel" which opens a PDF version of the manual for my specific laptop model.
I have also looked at the list of installed programs on the Control Panel and see one for Addendum and the other for Manuel.
I was thinking of saving the two PDF's to my laptop and deleting the two programs from the laptop.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Ash

Yes, you can but it's illegal.
You can use app drop-down Gift This App link in iTunes app store.

Multi-touch and Multi-screen

I just saw the presentations of the PDC2008 (via the net since I couldn't make it to the PDC).
It's nice to see that we can add multi-touch functionality to a native, unmanaged application, just handling WM_TOUCH, similar to WM_MOUSE events at this moment.
However, with more and more people using multiple screens attached to their PC (especially our development department, were multiple screens are handy for debugging), how are the multiple screens going to work in combination with multi-touch.
I cannot drag my finger fluently from 1 screen to another without lifting my finger, so how is this going to work?
Anyone an idea?
Patje

Hi Patje.
From the OS perspective, while we are not prioritizing multi-touch capability across multiple monitors, there are some scenarios that should work just fine right now:
One multi-touch monitor and one regular monitorconfigured together.
Two multi-touch monitors (but not with simultaneous input)
Unfortunately, at this time you would need to use your mouse to drag from one monitor across to another. If you had two multi-touch monitors you could drag an object so that it straddles both monitors and then pick it up again on the other monitor. Unfortunately, there's just no way to bridge that physical space between the monitors in a fluid fashion at this time.
Thanks so much for the question. It's interesting to think about this.
Sincerely,
Eliot - MSFT

Satellite C55-A-1N1 - lack of bass, tinny sound

Just got my new Toshiba laptop.
Anyone know if there is a fix to the sound issues with this model.
It has been widely reported this model suffers from lack of bass/ tinny sound but I have not yet found a solution.
I think DTS has something to do with it but not 100% sure,
Could it be something to do with the driver?

In the past some notebook owners have reported about the same issue with sound on several Toshiba notebooks although the fact that these notebooks and your Satellite C55-A have small standard stereo speakers only. Such speakers cannot offer some high quality sound like notebooks with build in harman/kardon speakers.
So there is nothing to fix or change. All you can do is to change sound settings on equaliser for player that you use. For better sound you can use either headphones or external speakers.
Sorry but there is not much you can do about it.

Multi-touch and a WinClone image

I used a WinClone image of Vista from my MBP to create a Vista Boot Camp instance on my new iMac. It worked perfectly except that the Multi-Touch driver keeps trying to install itself via software update. I allow it to do so, I reboot, but the next time software update runs, it tries to install it all over again.
Obviously, I don't need the Multi-Touch driver on my iMac, but for the life of me, I don't see how to get rid of it. I assume it's embedded in my WinClone image from my MBP (where it is required), but I don't see a way of removing it. I'd even be happy if it would just take the update and be done with it, but it doesn't do that either.
Any thoughts?

The best you can do. Is center your fingers in the center of the iPhone Touch Screen. And pull fingers outwards this will zoom in. or Double tap the area you want to zoom in closer to then perform the pinch or expansion of fingers.

I got a MacBook Pro, and a new iPod touch and downloaded everything through my iCloud. but now when i try to do anything on my ipod from my macbook, it says ipod is hooked to another account, even though its the same one! what do i do

so what im exactly getting is 'the ipod "kira's ipod" is synched with another itunes library, do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library?'
annnndd ummm, its the same itunes account that im using, and im just trying to put 2 videos on to my ipod without erasing all of my music.
Everything in my MacBook has been downloaded through ICloud, and my IPod was set up from my grandmas desktop.. But its weird because i have had my IPod plugged in to my MacBook before, and downloaded music i believe, so i dont see why its doing it now... PLEASE HELP!
i just need to know what to do so i can start proving to my family that apple really is a good company who doesnt just try to rip people off...

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Satellite C55-A-1N1 and Windows 8 - i5 is not working

I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop and it was working completely fine for the first two months. I used to shut it down using the power down option and everything was fine. Then, three days ago, it was taking extra long to power down. Normally it took about 2 minutes; this time it had gone 1 hour and it was still in the process of shutting down.
I was frustrated and held the power button down until the screen went dark and the laptop went off. The next day, I turned it on and it loaded up fine, however once it reaches the Windows 8 page, the screen turns blue and as if it refreshes itself and returns back the homepage. This happens every three seconds making it impossible to open any applications. I have checked if any buttons are pressed down and there aren't any that are and the laptop is fully charged. I have assignments due in very soon and getting work down is near impossible at the moment.
Any help will be appreciated greatly.
Thanks.

I don't know what is wrong there but what you can try is to reinstall original recovery image using HDD recovery option.
Instructions about repair and recovery you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
Have you may be created recovery media (DVD or USB)?

Satellite C55-A-1N1 Black screen when switched on

I've had my laptop for 7 months, I've had a lot of problems with it from the beginning.
It has always run slow and started disconnecting itself from the internet for no reason.
A few days ago it refused to connect to the Internet at all and now when I switch it on I just get a black screen.
No beeps or logos just a black screen. It powers up OK, and I've tried switching on while plugged in and with just the battery running.
It's still under warranty but I wonder if anyone has any suggestions. I'm really disappointed as my last Satellite was brilliant for years, had no problems.

Are you able to access the BIOS?
To access the BIOS press power button following by F2 button.
In case this isnt possible try this:
Disconnect AC adaptor and remove battery.
Now press and hold power button 30sec long.
After that connect the AC adaptor and battery and press the power button once again to power up the notebook.
Is this possible? Feedback would be appreciated

Satellite C55 hangup on intiial set up

I have a new Windows 8.1 Satellite C55-A-1N1. Was going through the initial set up and it seems to have hung up. I got past setting up microsoft account, connected to my WiFi, got to the point where it said it was installing/updating software, it rebooted itself and carried on with updates, then hungup with a plain screen with no messages and a rotating spinning circle.
Light on front indicates it's still connected to WiFi.
Has been like this for over 2 hours.
Any ideas anyone?

I worked out how to get over this. After several hours of the spinning wheel, and wondering if this was part of the initial setup, I tried ctrl/alt/del, and it put up a menu of choices. I clicked on sign-out, and it took me back to the Windows 8.1 login screen. I logged in and everything seems to be OK.
I can only assume that at the end of the initial setup it decided to go into what used to be called hourglass mode.
Hitting return, left mouse button or right mouse button didn't get me out of this, but ctrl/alt/del seems to be the answer should anyone else hit this problem.

Satellite C55-A-199 with Win 7 64bit - cannot enable WiFi

Hi,
I have some problem with the wifi in my Toshiba Satellite C55-A-199.
I have downloaded and installed every drivers that I could find on the [website|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp] but I am still not able to turn off the wifi by pressing fn+f12.
When I press fn+f12 the bluetooth can be switch on/off but the wifi symbol doesn't appear on the screen, and the red led at the front keeps lighting.
I don't know what could be the problem, but I hope I'll get some help here.
Thanks,
Piri
(I use win7x64)

Hi everybody,
_Thanks a lot Randy, doing what you said helped me solved the issue_ with my newly Satellite C55-A-1P2, but unfortunately I have discovered an even bigger issue.
I think this thread is probably not the right place to say my problem but I haven't found to much info regarding the issue. :(
If I'm allowed here this is what I'm encountering with the Wi-Fi adapter:
My Wi-Fi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x I think this is the one) is frequently disconnecting, stays disconnected for a minute or so and after that is reconnecting. For me that is a very big issue as I'm a heavily Wi-Fi user. I do have the latest driver installed from Toshiba site and using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
If anybody has any idea on how to solve this issue or if it's even solvable(if this is the case I need to return the laptop) or redirect me to another post related to Wi-Fi disconnections I will be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance.
