Satellite L500: unable to change to Multiple Display to play via TV

Having followed instructions to connect laptop to TV via HDMI there is no signal. Followed instructions in User Manual but
User Manual says go to Adjust Resolution/Advanced/GenericPnPMonitor/Graphics Properties/Display Properties then click 'Multiple Display' but there is only one drop down option 'Single Display' and 1 primary device the notebook.
When I toggle FN F5 to change display it only shows LCD display.
Is this something simple I'm missing or does this suggest a fault with the Toshiba Display Driver?
Thanks

Hi
For I using the HDMI connection I can recommend this:
Firstly connect the cable to your notebook and TV or external monitor. Then power on the TV and choose the right input channel. Finally power on the notebook and normally the HDMI connection will be recognized automatically.
If it doesnt work I would recommend updating the display driver and BIOS. Both can be founded on the Toshiba website.

  • Unable to change outgoing email display name on 9930. Only displays email address to clients

    I have tried to change my outgoing email display name to my name but when I delete the email address on username field and input my name it says "not a valid email address". Tried on the Blackberry website with my profile and on my handheld device. Why is this so difficult? I can't send emails to clients as on their end it just shows my email address in the from field and not my full name. My email account name on my Blackberry shows the full name I want to display, but it keeps defaulting to my username, which is my email address. I have a 9930 that is two years old. Thanks.

        Hi Cltclt,
    Thanks for the details! When did this issue start? Is your Blackberry on a Blackberry Enterprise server from your company? Is this an outlook Microsoft Exchange email account? This may help with changing your settings:
    Change options for your personal email account
    You can change options for each personal email account that you added to your BlackBerry® smartphone. You can create email filters, synchronize your contacts, change your signature or display name, and more.
      • On the Home screen, click the Messages icon.
      •  Press the  key > Options > Email Account Management.
      • Click the email account that you want to change options for.

  • Satellite L500 - How to show external display after closing lid?

    Hi,
    i`m using the Satellite L500-120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7 the laptop had a very comfortable function, when i applied an external display.
    When i closed the lid of my notebook, the desktop was shown on my external display (with the native resolution of the external display), so i didn`t have to
    switch anything at the Control Panel. In Windows 7, i`m missing this function. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there are no settings, which fits
    with the earlier ones. I can duplicate the display, in order to see my desktop screen at my external display, but with the notebook resolution of 1366 x 768.
    If i extend the displays, then there is only the background image at the external display, but this time with the native resolution.
    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that i closed the lid, and that the desktop screen has to be shown on my external display?
    Or do i have to install one of the Toshiba applications, which i had before, that realized this function?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi
    Im not a Windows 7 user because I will wait until it will be released offical but I hope I can help you a little bit:
    First of all in Power Management you can choose the action what happens if you close the Lid (e. g. sleep, turn off, etc.). This action should be disabled because otherwise the notebook will shut down or something else.
    Then I think you have to install the display driver for your notebook. You can try the Vista driver because the most of them are work on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to set the correct screen resolution for external monitor.
    A working display driver is important for clone or extends monitors so check this!!

  • Satellite L500-164 - Need keyboard change to English or Greek

    Hello,
    I'm studying in Germany now and I was thinking of buying the Satelite L500-164.
    The problem is, in all shops you can only buy it with German keyboard which I totally hate.
    Is it possible to change it to an English(or Greek) one?
    How much will it cost? How long will it take?
    I thought about buying it from Toshiba directly but they don't sell it, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately sending it to service for keyboard change?
    Are there any shops which sell it with English keyboard or can change it at demand?
    Thanks a lot

    > I thought about buying it from Toshiba directly but they don't sell it, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately sending it to service for keyboard change?
    Well, this will be one solution the other would be buying an Satellite L500 in UK to get an keyboard with English layout.
    You could try to order from some online retailers. There are enough online shops which provides Toshiba notebooks

  • Satellite L500-1XD constantly restarting & displaying blue recovery screen

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XD laptop from an Argos store in August. Soon after I got it it occasionally restarted itself and displayed the blue recovery screen saying the laptop has recovered from a hardware failure. This has become more frequent recently and it often shuts down, displays blue screen, restarts and does this over and over again.
    I have not installed many new programmes on the laptop and have installed all updates. I have removed any programmes I did install with the exception of Microsoft Office.
    Another thing that might be related if that when the laptop starts up it says the Toshiba Service Station has stopped working and tries to check for a solution to the problem.
    I would any appreciate any advice on how I could perhaps remedy this
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hi katrina_1,
    That means the preinstalled Windows version is still installed, right?!
    Well, I think its hard to say why it happens It could be a software or hardware malfunction. Both could be possible.
    The most reasons for blue screens are drivers or hardware itself Are all devices installed properly in device manager or do you see yellow exclamation marks?
    In your case I would try to reinstall Windows. Maybe its only a software or driver issue
    Furthermore if you have installed two RAM modules, test it with one module only. You can also use Memtest86 or another RAM diagnostic tool to test the RAM modules for failures.

  • Unable to change my mobile phone# displayed on out...

    Hi folks,
    Having moved to Japan from Australia, I've tried a few times to (verify and) change my mobile# displayed as the sender on SMSs I send.  Verification DOES take place successfully (ie "Options -> IM & SMS -> SMS Settings -> Verify a different mobile phone number") but I'm unable to actually make this new number replace my old number in "My mobile phone number."  In fact, I've just now sent a test SMS to my mobile and the sending mobile phone number displayed on the SMS is neither my old number nor my new number... it's some altogether different number!  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    I confirm that I can replicate this issue. Namely:
    In the Skype Application:
    'SMS Settings -> verify your mobile phone number' will send a verification code which will be received by the phone (Carrier: NTT Docomo).
    The received code will work in Skype. Confirmation message: "The code worked, your mobile number has been verified. However, the phone number will not appear in the drop down list.
    On the Skype Profile page:
    Clicking 'Verify my number' raises error: an internal error occurred.
    When selecting 'Caller ID', Japan (and Mexico) are not displayed in the drop down list.
    Skype Technical support and I troubleshot (troubleshooted?) including deleting the shared.xml file. However, this did not fix. We concluded that this is a problem with specific carriers. No ETA on fix.
    Hopefully this helps you not waste your time and, if you plan on coming to Japan, arrange alternatives.

  • Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

    Please help with my first post...
    Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
    I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
    When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
    If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
    To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
    Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
    Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
    Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
    Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
    Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
    What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
    I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
    As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
    1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
    2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
    or
    3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
    Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

  • Satellite L500-21T - Stop error code when installing Windows 7

    Hello
    I bought a notebook Satellite L500-21T from saudi arabia.
    I lost the hd recovery during trying fix windows 7 installation. If I try to install windows 7 I get stop code 0x0000009c error. If I turn sata to compitibality from AHCI Windows xp sp2 not sp3 installed but most drivers like display and wlan not installed. Trying to update BIOS give that is not suitable for that the phoenix version of bios 1.5
    I changed HD and RAM but the same problem. It may the BIOS?
    plz help me

    Hi buddy,
    Do you install Windows 7 from Toshiba recovery disk or normal Microsoft disk?
    Usually if you install Windows 7 from recovery disk, everything should work well because its pretested image from Toshiba and you get back out of box settings (factory settings).
    If not it seems to be a hardware malfunction
    By the way: Try to load the default settings in BIOS. You can do this if you press F9 key in BIOS.

  • Unable to change status in messages

    Hey guys,
    Okay, so I am unable to change my status in messages or do anything for that matter.
    My friends messages app looks different then mine and she actually has more options then me. It will not let me set to online status or anything, it's like disabled and I cannot figure it out. Also when I send a message from my mac, it will say my email when my friend recieves the message but then if I send it from my iphone it says my number, so it starts two different conversations.
    This is annoying and when I called tech support they had no idea what I was talking about.
    Any smart apple users out there

    The new Messages app in Mountain Lion has two aspects. It integrates most of the features of the old iChat program (using AOL and Jabber transport mechanisms among others, which include the concept of on/offline status) with Apple's new iMessage transport mechanism (which doesn't).
    Your phone-to-phone message are probably going through yet a third transport mechanism, SMS. You can set your phone to use iMessage transport to eligible recipients by going to Settings > Messages, turning iMessage to "ON", and including your AppleID (~email address) in "Receive At" along with your phone number.
    We are told that when iOS6 is released this fall it may help combine the multiple conversations. It is not yet clear how.

  • Unable to change text size

    So I have been unable to change my text size in itunes. When i switch between "large" and "small" text sizes the size remains the same, however the size of the menus and the itunes stores is small. I theorize it was probably some program I installed but since I am nearly constantly adding and removing programs I can't pinpoint which one it was. If anyone can tell me how to fix it or point me in the right direction that would be great. I am including my system info as well as a screen of itune. Thanks.

  • WRT610N - Unable to change "Server Name" - No Text box.

    I have my WRT610N running V2 firmware.  In all of the documentation I see, on the Admin area within the Storage Tab, there is a text box next to the Server Name and you are able to update that field to change the Server Name.  However, I have no textbox here, and thus am unable to change the Server Name.  I've attempted factory defaults, firmware upgrades, and multiple reboots to attempt to solve the issue.  Any help out there? 
    Thanks in advance

    Whats the Firmware version is installed on your Router and whats the Version number of your Router? If it's an Version 2 Router, then it doesn't have an option to change the Server Name. As far as i know the Version 1 Router has an option to change the Server Name.
    If its an Version 1 Router and if you have updated the firmware, with the latest firmware you don't have an option to change the Server Name, By Default its WRT610N. 

  • Unable to change apple ID location

    I was trying to make a purchase recently, but a message telling me I needed to update my billing info came up. For some reason, my country is listed as China (I live in Canada, I've never even been to China). I tried changing my country back, but I am unable to. I get to the "choose your country or region" page, and it says "You need a valid method of payment and billing address for a country in which iTunes is available. Please select a country from the lis below. If a country is not listed, it means iTunes is not available in that country yet."
    The problem is, there is no list to choose from. The page is blank, aside from that message. Ive tried restarting my ipad, logging out, but the page is always blank. I'm not even sure how my country was changed from Canada to China in the first place, but now I am unable to change it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you are doing it via the iTunes & App Store option in Settings, then once you click on your AppleID, and then click on View AppleID>Country/Region>Change Country or Region, then you also need to click on "Store" where it is showing China right now.
    Once you click on "Store" it will then display the list, and you can scroll down to Canada.
    That should fix you up.
    But you are really going to have to do something about that sleepwalking problem!!!
