Satellite L750-A218 - Windows 8 problems and solutions

Hi,
this is my first post.
I upgraded my Toshiba l750-a218 laptop to windows 8 and i have been facing some problems (hiccuos).
i waited for the upgraded drivers and they were released on 21,22,23 this month and they had no solutions so this is what i noticed on windows 8
1. The function keys flash cards are gone. i tried every TVAP available for windows 8 and flash card support utility for other laptops but its not working. the falsh cards dont appear on the screen but all the keys work, except i can;t turn bluetooth and wifi on/off separetely.
2. bluetooth drivers: i couldn't find driver for this laptop so i used atheros bleutooth filter of another B series toshiba laptop which comes with windows 8 and bluetooth driver. now its working.
3. computer turns on when opening lid even if its shut down or hibernated. installed toshiba hardware driver i saw an option to turn on pc when opening lid tried both on/off no change
4. graphics nvidia used drivers from nvidia official site
5.toshiba sleep and charge has changed to shut down and charge probably related to problem #3, i turned usb sleep and charge off from the bios.
6. synaptics i used official drivers from their site
other than that everything works fine.

>except i can;t turn bluetooth and wifi on/off separetely.
This is how it work in Win 8
>2. bluetooth drivers: i couldn't find driver for this laptop so i used atheros bleutooth filter of another B series toshiba laptop which comes with windows 8 and bluetooth driver. now its working.
Yes, some Win 7 drivers works in connection with Win 8
>3. computer turns on when opening lid even if its shut down or hibernated. installed toshiba hardware driver i saw an option to turn on pc when opening lid tried both on/off no change
Here you should perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8
In Windows 8, when shutting down a computer, actually a hybrid shutdown is performed by default.

Satellite L750 - drivers installation problem

Hello good people of the internet,
I have a problem with drivers' updates/installation on my Satellite L750-1E3, Windows 7-64 bit.
When I launch the installer, it decompresses, telling me it will launch afterwards, but then the window closes and nothing further happens.
I've read about the same problem one person here had with the L855-10P series but, maybe because I'm a girl or maybe because I'm not a native English speaker, I didn't uderstand what to do...
I actually have problem with more things.
My webcam stopped working, when I try to launch it I get the error message that tells me "the initialization went wrong, restart your webcam or computer".
So I tried to reinstall the driver but the problem I described above appeared.
The same driver installation problem appeared when Tempro told me to update my blu-ray driver (I download all the drivers from eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
And the last one, for about a month there are problems with the sound on my notebook.
First cracking of sound and then it stops working completely and I have to restart the computer.
Again, I tried to reinstall the sound drivers.
There are two drivers on the Toshiba site, one of them reinstalled just fine but the other one (nvidia, I think) had the same problem as the other drivers.
Someone please tell me what to do, because I am becaoming really desperate and I seriously considered throwing my notebook out of the window.
Thank you

Usually the HDD recovery is the easiest to get the notebooks factory settings and to get it running again.
>My webcam stopped working, when I try to launch it I get the error message that tells me "the initialization went wrong, restart your webcam or computer". So I tried to reinstall the driver but the problem I described above appeared..
Its interesting to know if the webcam or an unknown imagine device (probably webcam) appear in device manager. Please check this.
If the webcam isnt listed there, you should check if the webcam is enabled in BIOS.
To access the BIOS press F2. Then go to Advanced tab -> System configuration -> webcam
If the webcam is enabled in BIOS but still not recognized and not listed in device manager, then you should recover the notebook to factory setting to check if the webcam module isnt faulty.
>The same driver installation problem appeared when Tempro told me to update my blu-ray driver (I download all the drivers from eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
The Blu-ray player update works only for notebook equipped with blu-ray drive. If your notebook does not support blu-ray drive

Review Problems and Solutions after upgrade question

I have recently migrated from WSS 3.0 to Sharepoint Foundation 2010. I now have a the following messages in Sharepoint Admin.
The SharePoint Health Analyzer has detected some critical issues that require your attention. View these issues.
Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local machine Administrators group.
Using highly-privileged accounts as application pool or as service identities poses a security risk to the farm, and could allow malicious code to execute. The following services are currently running as accounts in the machine Administrators group: SharePoint
Central Administration v4 (Application Pool)
SPTimerV4(Windows Service)
Built-in accounts are used as application pool or service identities.
Using built-in accounts like Network Service or Local System as application pool or as service identities is not supported in a farm configuration. The following services are currently running as built-in identities on one or more servers: SPSearch4(Windows
Service)
The last time I tried to correct this type of issue I wound up creating a problem that I was unable to correct. I had to reinstall Sharepoint. How critical is this and what is the best way to make these changes without causing larger problems?
I am using two accounts to run the services/pools/etc. Well 3 if you count the Local System. Account #1 and #2 are not in the Admins group. They were when I installed everything but I have since removed them.

Hi Poly,
I recommend to follow the steps below to see if the warning message remains:
1.   Re-run Rule Definition.
In Central Administration, go: Monitoring > Health Analyzer > Review rule definitions. On the Health Analyzer Rule Definitions page, in the Category: Security group, click the rule definition link, Accounts used by application pools or service identities
are in the local machine Administrators group. Click the Run Now button, then click Close. Wait a minute or two, and then return to Review problems and solutions page.
2.   Reset Farm Service.
Login to the local machine hosting the farm Central Administration application. Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and scroll down to the SharePoint 2010 Administration service. Double-click this service, select the Log On tab. If not selected,
select the This account option and then enter or re-enter the farm account. At the warning prompt, "The new login name will not take effect until you stop and restart the service," click OK. Stop and restart the service, and then
click OK. Wait a minute or two, and then return to Review problems and solutions page.
3.   Reset the Farm Timer Service.
Login to the local machine hosting the farm Central Administration application. Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and scroll down to the SharePoint 2010 Timer service. Double-click this service and select the Log On tab. If not selected,
select the This account option and then enter or re-enter the farm account. At the warning prompt, "The new login name will not take effect until you stop and restart the service," click OK. Stop and restart the service, and then
click OK. Wait a minute or two, and then return to Review problems and solutions page.

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

Hello Douglas,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro. I recommend the following steps for this issue:
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Best Practice on Knowledge Management, IS01 Problems and Solutions

Been Playing with KM and looking for insight from other users (will give points) using it for ICWC.
We have mulitple product lines where we have documents with Q & A's in each line. As I look at moving that into CRM via IS01, I am looking for any Best Practices or recommendations.
1. Create a single problem and solution for every question.
2. Create a single problem (list all questions) for every product line and create multiple solutions that are linked to that problem (solution for each question)
3. Is LMSW a good tool for loading data in mass?
The ICWC search brings back the 1st line on the problem & solution on the screen, meaning I try to limit the characters used so it fits on the ICWC screen, a long 1st line on the problem doesn't allow the agent to see enough of the solution without opening the link.
Thanks,

Hello Glenn,
If it helps, here's a scenario about KB on my company system.
Our call center supervisors are the persons who creates problem and solutions in our KB. They maintain it but don't use IS01 transaction. They use instead People Centric BSP's for Problem s and solutions (they're integrated in IC webclient with the help of transaction launcher).
Normally, they prefer creating multiple solutions to one problem, instead of single problem - single solution method. This because some questions may have multiple solutions. They could put all the solutions text in one solution object, but for maintainance purposes we think it's better to create multiple solutions object to every solution text, because if one solution becames obsete, all we have to do is unlink instead of changing the text.
We don't use LSMW. I don't have much experience in LSMW, but if you use it, be careful to respect KB interval numbers for problems and solutions. We implement an initial set of problems and solutions in our Development system, and we passed to the Quality and Produtive system, with the precious help of sap note '728295 - Transport the SDB customization between two CRM systems' and '728668 -Transport the content of the SDB between two CRM systems'.
One cool idea to use the KB is using Auto-suggest feature. The idea is to integrate the links between problems and solutions with, for example, service ticket categorization, using BSP Category modeler, and when an agent classifies a ticket, at the top of the screen it will appear the suggested solutions/problems for the classification choosen.
I think that's all.
Sorry for my poor english. Today I'm not feeling very inspirated
Kind regards.

Solution Database - Maximum number of Problems and Solutions

Hi everyone,
I´m new at CRM and I was wondering if you could help me sharing your knowledge and experience on this.
I completed the SAF and solution database configuration , I was wondering if there´s a maximum number of problems when creating problems and solutions on IS01? Also Can I have 2 or more solution data bases (with different problems and solutions) assigned for a business role?
comments are appreciated
thanks!

Knowledge Search - Problems and Solutions

Hi,
I am creating Problems and Solutions (in IS01). But that is not visible in knowledge search in IC Webclient.
I have also done compilation in SPRO -> CRM -> Enterpise Intelligence -> SAF, but not getting the result.
Please Help.
Regards,
Ankush

- Your IC WebClient Profile should point to the Knowledge Management Profile which point to the Configured Knowledge Base ( Problems and SOlutions )
- I hope SAF Diagnosis Tool looks good ( CRMC_SAF_TOOL )
- I hope you have gone through the Best Practice Document ( help portal ) for Interaction Center which tells step by step ways to configure Knowledge Base

I am unable to delete unwanted songs from my wish list. Does anybody else have this problem and/solution. Thanks

I have the same problem, and other people have also posted about it. I assume that there is either a bug with the current version of iTunes and/or that there is a problem at Apple's end

IOS 5 Upgrade Problems and Solutions

Thought it might be good to have a repository thread for folks having difficulty with the upgrade to iOS 5.
Here's what I experienced:
The download was fast (fast wired internet) but the install was long and buggy. For some reason many of my apps didn't show up after the initial install and my music/podcasts/videos were all missing.
Turns out the phone had a large block of memory reserved (listed as OTHER) after the inital install. I did a sync without music to get the missing apps back on the phone, put the missing apps back in their proper folders, then synced one more time to put my music/podcasts/videos back on the phone. All was fixed!
Anybody else have problems and solutions they can share?

Jim-
Was this just for the Interal Error with no number reference or for the 3200 reference? I tried this with the plain Internal Error to no avail. I have an appointment with Apple in 45 min so hopefully I can return good news. Here's hoping!

When I am connected to the WiFi, my apps cannot be download. Once I had disable the wifi and connect directly to the service provider, the apps will start to download. Please advise what is the problem and solution for my iPhone 5.

I can't follow your meaning. What does connect directly to your ISP mean?
Did you mean turning off WiFi but turning on Cellular Data on your iPhone?

Satellite L750-170 Windows 7 Stereo Mix Not Appearing

Hi,
I've been looking for ages on how to enable my Stereo Mix and I just can't get it up...
I've installed the latest driver for my 'Conexant SmartAudio HD', clicked the 'Show Disabled Devices' and the 'Show Disconnected Devices' and I still end up with no Stereo Mix showing. I've got Stereo Mix on my XP, Vista and my other Windows 7 PC before and I really don't know why it won't work on this.
Please Help!!
Thanks

*I found a solution!*
Stereo Mix is a sound device for recording music from you computer.
It is very useful for marketing purpose.
However, it is usually missing in most Toshiba computers.
Here is how to get it back.
This solution worked for my Satellite L750.
- Download the latest Conexant SmartAudio driver for your laptop downloadable at http://support.toshiba.com/.
- Create a new folder (I created one on my Desktop) for the driver and extract the zipped driver files to it with WinRAR.
- You should find a couple folders. Browse through them until you find the folder labeled W7-64/ W7-32, depending on whether you are using 32-bit or 64-bit.
There will be a .inf file inside. There should only be one file with that extension. Open it in Notepad.
- Now search in notepad until you find this section:
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,Enable,1,01
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,EPname,1,01
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,DefGainSettings,1,00,07,00,07
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,MuteGainSettings,1,00,00
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable ,Flags,1,00
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable, Enable,1,01
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable, MixAssocSeq,1,E0,E0
;HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable, MuteGainSettings,1,00,00
Note the semi-colons in front of each line. Remove all the semi-colons so the 8 lines above read like this:
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, Enable,1,01
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, EPname,1,01
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, DefGainSettings,1,00,07,00,07
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, MuteGainSettings,1,00,00
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\PcBeepCtrlEnable, Flags,1,00
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,E nable,1,01
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,M ixAssocSeq,1,E0,E0
HKR,%EPattributePath%\EpSettings\StereoMixEnable,M uteGainSettings,1,00,00
Now cick "File" and "Save".
- Then go to Control Panel, Sounds and Hardware, Device Manager, Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, and right click on Conexant Smart Audio HD, select Update Driver Software.
- Then go to Browse My Computer for Software, Let Me Pick From A List, Have Disk, and navigate to the .inf file (the one you edited in Notepad) in the folder on your desktop.
- It should tell you it is no longer digitally signed and might harm your computer. Install it anyways.
- Now open up your Sound tray. If you go to the "Recording" tab, and make sure "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices" are both checkmarked.
- Now you should have Stereo Mix. Right click on it and select "Enable".

Sudden problem with iTunes quitting - problem and solution

This is a fairly lengthy diatribe but it was driving me nuts and so hopefully will help someone else:
The Problem:
I have an XPS M1710 running Windows Vista. A couple of days ago all Apple programs started to malfunction, specifically iTunes, QuickTime. When I try to start iTunes it quits immediately and I get the message “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”. The same thing happens with Quicktime. When I go to Internet Explorer this works fine until I go to the Apple website and try to Download iTunes (to reinstall) or even to go to the Apple Support page, Then the Apple site seems to “force” IE to quit. The same thing happens when I use the Apple Safari Browser (works generally but quits on Apple iTunes or support site). I am not sure if it is relevant but we bought some iTunes songs online in the last couple of days using another laptop. That machine is still working fine as are two other laptops in the house re iTunes (they are Windows XP Dells, my machine is Windows Vista). I received an email receipt on my XPS for the purchases in the usual fashion. I can open it, but when I click the links to the iTunes site it doesn’t work (does work using other computers).
I have performed 2 system restores (to 2 and 4 weeks ago – long before the current problem) but this did not help. I have uninstalled iTunes – but even so still could not directly download the iTunes setup.exe from Apple. I did eventually get it from a third party link. Using the downloaded file I reinstalled iTunes but exactly the same problems persist. On one occasion I let the “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available” dialogue box sit for a while – the system identified some Apple updates needed which I downloaded and installed (in fact I had done these probably a week or so ago anyway but the system restore would have reverted that). This still did not fix the problem.
Today I phoned XPS support. I was initially told to leave my number and someone would call me back. 2 hours later no-one had so I phoned again and got someone who suggested doing a full scan disk (ie by getting into diagnostics at startup by pressing F12). I did this – no problems found. The person had also suggested trying to access iTunes using a different logon account. I switch on “guest” account and tried from there but the same problem persisted.
I have checked Windows Defender and Windows Firewall and as far as I can see iTunes is allowed to access the internet. No sign that it is deliberately blocked. As far as I can tell from the Windows updater the system is up to date (as it was when the problem first happened, and not fixed by rolling back many updates via the system restores).
I have run a full Virus check using Kaspersky (with latest updated database) and nothing was found.
So, no matter what I try, my computer is suddenly blocking everything to do with iTunes (and Quicktime), including Apple’s own support site. The failure of iTunes or QuickTime to launch happens whether or not I am connected to the Internet at the time. All other programs seem to be working.
I would be very appreciative if you could help. I have been unable to find any online solution, although one person may have had a similar problem, no resolution was evident.
The solution:
I have only just now solved the problem (two weeks down the track). The Dell technician that I spoke to over the phone tried hard but we could not get the issue solved completely, although the problem with accessing the iTunes website we did solve by turning off some internet explorer add-ons. As it turned out the problem was with QuickTime. The clue was that although I had attempted to uninstall iTunes + Quicktime many times the QuickTime component never disappeared. So when I reinstalled iTunes + QuickTime (which I did many times) the problem remained. After again uninstalling iTunes + QuickTime (by going to control panel, selecting iTunes and uninstall, then QuickTime and unintstall in the usual way, and realising that QuickTime did not uninstall properly, I then selected QuickTime and chose the "repair" option at the top of the control panel dialogue box instead of uninstall. After that I was then able to open QuickTime properly, and then when I reinstalled iTunes it worked! This had been driving me nuts, and I was on the verge of re-installing the operating system. Can I suggest that you enter this solution into your database for future reference.

I was wondering if you ever fixed this problem? Today I went to open itunes and it started installing it and said it couldn't access the file ja.lproj/ea0423.rtf which would be the Japanese language version. I just wanted to know if I should do what was suggested to you or if that didn't work.

Webcam on Satellite A500 using Windows 7 and Windows Live Messenger 2009 (14.0.8089.726)

Hello. This is my very first post and maybe I can find a resolution to the problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you if you can assist me in resolving the problem.
I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium using the Windows 7 Upgrade Media that was sent to me for my Toshiba Satellite A500. The upgrade loaded successfully. My laptop already had the Windows Live (MSN) Messenger on it when I was using Windows Vista and the webcam worked okay then. Now with Windows 7, when I try to do a voice/video chat using the Windows Live (MSN) Messenger version 2009 (Build 14.0.8089.726), my built-in laptop webcam does not work. When I initiate a voice/video chat, all I get is a big red X next to the webcam icon in the little view area window when it attempts to run. I can receive voice/video from people using MSN Messenger but my laptop can't send out any video. My laptop sends out voice but no video. I un-installed the Messenger, rebooted and re-installed it but it still won't do video output.
Interestingly, when I tried doing a voice/video chat with Gmail, my webcam worked. I haven't tried Yahoo yet. My webcam worked fine before upgrading to Windows 7. I suppose I could just forget about MSN Messenger and use Gmail but not all my contacts use Gmail. I'd like to be able to continue using MSN Messenger if possible.
So I'm posting here to see if there is any resolution or suggestions I can have to get my webcam working with Windows Live (MSN) Messenger. Not the end of the world if I can't make it work again.
Have a nice day. Regards,
Doug
