Satellite L855-188 runs slowly - some apps stop working for a time

Hello,
I bought this laptop a week ago as an upgrade from the dell studio 1558 and it is more powerful spec wise and i will admit windows 8 does make things a little strange but i am having issues with the laptop:
The laptop sometimes runs slowly and certain applications such as chrome and steam and skype just stop working for a time, and sometimes require the applications to be reset before they will work again and chrome has now developed a bug that only lets it open if i right click on it and tell it to open a new window
The wireless will randomly drop, and will no longer open the connections window, the devices show it as being active, but can neither enable it or disable it or find wireless connections or even open the menu to find connections this can only be solved by a system restart.... i have updated the drivers for the wireless to the newest for the Atheros card
It will not restart, shut-down or sleep, when asked to do so the screen will go dark, sound like its preparing to shut down and say with the screen darkened hanging in the about to shut down state until it either cuts its own power or i hold the power button to force it to turn off,
I have updated the drivers available on the Toshiba website as all the AMD drivers say they are incompatible
Help would be appreciated, I don't want to send this back or have to try reverting to windows 7 or something drastic

>Francesco_1: I dont have that many programs running, skype, steam, chrome, panda internet security, iobits advanced system care and sticky notes, nothing too stressing at all, and my dell with literally half the spec of this laptop handelled it all fine
You said always: sometimes
In my opinion if there would be an hardware problem, the notebook would run always slowly and not sometimes
However, as I recommended above: try the option Reset your PC. This would returns Windows 8 to its original state.
By the way: a good tip to improve the notebook performance is the change from HDD to SSD drive.
I did it on my notebook and guess what: its great! Its much faster as the HDD.
From my point of view, HDD is the past... SSD drive are now and future. You could exchange the HDD with an SSD drive and could use the HDD as an "backup" medium.

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.

  • Some keys stopped working for one user account

    Dear all,
    since a while (I can't say since when exactly) some of the keys stopped working: left control, left shift, and the tab key. In the beginning the caps lock didn't work as well, but it was my own setting. All other then the three listed work OK. As described in some KB articles I checked all settings for universal access, localisation, keyboard, mouse, and keyboard-shortcuts (all standard). I completely disassembled the keyboard (aprox. 50 screws!) cleaned it and checked the connections between the keys on the printed circuit. Everything looks good. Then my wife told me that she does not have the problem and indeed, in other user accounts it is all working OK. It means that it should be a setup problem in my profile. The keyboard viewer is showing every activated (pressed) key, but not the three that are not working - which is only consequent. When I disable the caps-lock then the keyboard viewer doesn't show this key being pressed either. My conclusion is that there must be a keyboard filter below the application level. Now I'm stuck.
    Help appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Kurt.

    Yup, odds were against me choosing the right item on the first go
    Log back into your problem account.
    Here's the whole litany for thoroughly checking your home folder. It's not as daunting as it looks.
    1. Go to Users/yourname//Library/Fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( Likely suspects are Times RO, Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.) If not, put your Fonts folder back.
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
    • Go to ~(YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
    3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
    • Navigate to YourHome/Library.
    • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
    • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
    • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
    • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
    (Note:The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.)
    4. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

  • Why do some Apps stop working after synching?

    Each time I synch my iPhone 4S with iTunes, a number of recently added apps won't work.  They only "shudder" but won't open.  They are however, on the list with the other open apps. 
    Also, My phone keeps telling me that 7 apps didn't not synch and that I should refer to my ITunes for more info.  Can't find anything...???

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.

  • $LS_COLORS stopped working (for user, not for root)

    Good day.
    Some time ago,  "ls" stopped paying attention to my color settings when coloring output for my user, while still working for root. For both root and my user, I set $LS_COLORS through ~/.bashrc as "eval $(dircolors -b)" but while this works fine for root, it at some point stopped working for my user, simply since the "eval" doesn't seem to work anymore. That is, what could be the reason for the below behavior?
    (note: I also have colored ls output without $LS_COLORS; just not the colors that I want, and which root does have).
    ===
    [rene@e600 ~]$ echo $LS_COLORS

  • Several apps stopped working -- won't run

    Macbook 2GHz 2GB
    OSX 10.4.10
    Hi all,
    Today I've had several apps stop working -- meaning, when I run them, their icon will bounce a couple times and then disappear, and the program never runs.
    Googling led me to try deleting pref files -- one program had a pref file, I deleted it but no difference. The other apps didn't have any pref files.
    I've repaired disk permissions. I've uninstalled/reinstalled each program.
    I've been using them with no problems until today. The Macbook did try a software update today, but kernel panicked in the middle of installing -- not sure if that could cause it. I've tried Software Update again but it finds nothing.
    Any help will be VERY much appreciated. I've never had this happen before, and can't seem to find much about it.
    Thank you!

    Tutorial: What to do when a Mac OS X application will not launch
    It’s a frustrating scenario: You click on a regularly used application only to find that it will not launch – either bouncing indefinitely in the Mac OS X Dock or simply providing no feedback whatsoever. There are a number of potential solutions for this problem, ranging from simple and relatively quick to more tedious.
    Update prebinding Many cases of application launch-failure can be resolved easily by simply updating prebinding, via the following steps:
    1. Log in as an administrator
    2. Open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)
    3. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force and press Return.
    4. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return again. The process may take a few minutes, and you may see various messages flash by. The process is complete when the Terminal returns to a normal prompt.
    5. Type exit and press Return.
    6. Check for the capability to launch the problematic application.
    Kill process in activity monitor Killing an application-related process via Activity Monitor (click the item then press the 'Quit Process' button) can allow proper application launch. This is especially applicable in situations where a restart cures problems with application launching, as the offending process(es) will, of course, be killed by the restart process.
    Launch Activity Monitor (located in Applications/Utilities), then find the process associated with the problematic application, then quit it and attempt re-launching the applications.
    Delete appropriate .plist files A non-launching application can be the result of a corrupt or otherwise defunct associated .plist file (for more information on exactly what a .plist file is, see this series of articles)
    Most of the preferences files that we will be talking about are stored in a folder named Preferences, and located in the Library folder of your home directory, e.g.:
    * ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
    Go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and search for any .plist files that may be associated with the application you are having trouble with. Drag the .plist file(s) [many applications have more than one associated .plist file, so be careful to scour for all of them] to the Desktop, then re-attempt launching the application.
    You can also use an application like Preferential Treatment to check for corrupt .plist files.
    Re-install the application Try re-installing your application from its original media or download source.
    If an Apple application or component is not launching properly, you might need to restore it from the Apple installation discs per the instructions in our tutorial "Re-installing Apple applications from a Mac OS X disc/update package using Pacifist."
    Clearing caches Try using a utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, OnyX, or Cocktail to perform series of system cache deletion routines. Go from light, to medium to deep (the ordinal levels are defined differently in each application), checking to see if your afflicted application launches properly after each.
    Also, check the following folder for application-specific cache files that can be deleted, or at least temporarily removed:
    /Library/Application Support (look inside the folders here for files that end with .cache, and delete them)
    Make sure permissions are correct A range of permissions issues can effect Mac OS X applications, causing them not to launch.
    In these cases, the first thing to try is a disk permissions repair routine using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).
    Failing that, startup from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert it, then restart while holding down the "C" key). After the startup process is complete, go to the "Utilities" menu and select Disk Utility. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.
    In some odd cases (usually after a backup or when transferring backed up data back to a startup device), permissions on the "MacOS" directory (the directory that normally stores the executable binary in a Mac OS X application) can become incorrect.
    In order to fix this problem, use the following steps:
    1. Click on the afflicted application to select it in the Finder
    2. Either click the application while holding the control key, or use the "Action" menu (the icon looks like a gear) to access the option "Show Package Contents"
    3. Open the "Contents" folder therein, and then find the "MacOS" folder
    4. Modify the permissions on this folder to give it "execute" permissions for all users. Do this by opening the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and typing the following command (don't press return afterward):
    5. sudo chmod 755
    6. After typing this, drag the "MacOS" folder to the Terminal window -- its path should appear. Press return, and you will be prompted for your administrator password, which you should enter.
    The "MacOS" directory should now have read, write and execute priveleges for the owner, and read and execute privileges for the group and others.
    Check CoreAudio As noted in Knowledge Base article #301658, some Apple applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed as part of a Pro Tools version 6.9 installation.
    Apple says to follow these steps if you are affected by this issue:
    * Updating your Digidesign Core Audio driver may resolve the issue. You can find the latest versions for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) at http://digidesign.com/download/coreaudio. If that doesn't help, continue to step 2.
    * Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities).
    * Click the Audio Devices tab.
    * From the Default Output pop-up menu, choose Built-in Audio.
    Check for errant plug-ins Some application launch failures can be caused by problematic plug-ins or other add-ons. Safari and other Web browsers are notorious for suffering from this issue, as are some other extensible applications like iMovie.
    Check the following locations for any recently added files, or any files implicated in error messages generated when you attempt to launch the problematic application:
    * /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    * ~/Library/InputManagers
    Re-apply the Mac OS X combo updater Try re-applying the latest Mac OS X combo updater from Apple's software downloads page. Doing so can resolve issues with system components or delete specific files that can resolve application launching issues.
    Create a new user account Try creating a new user account, and check if the application launches under it. If so, a user-specific corruption issue is likely at play -- see the above sections regarding .plist files and caches. See our tutorial "Common workaround -- create a new user account" for more information.
    Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing an Archive and Install process, which will retain some user settings but otherwise leave you with a fresh Mac OS X installation.
    Also, check with the application's developer for compatibility notes regarding the version of Mac OS X you are running, and revert to an earlier iteration if necessary.

  • Fixed spooler subsystem app stopped working

    Hi All,
    I had "spooler subsystem app stopped working..." and found solution that may help you to fix your case.
    I don't know some how vista turn off LDP port after installing new printer driver and leaves only Internet client port only. That why the printer spooler service failed to start. Solution is:
    1. Go to Programs and Features in Control panel > click Turn Windows features on or off
    2. click + sign of Print services
    3. Select LPD and LPR. You should remove Internet Printing Client. > restart your PC to ensure there is no error of spooler service.
    4. Add your printer driver again.
    It worked for me. Let try.
    Chan

    Usually the driver crashes and preempts the print spooler. the famous HP LJ 1020 made an expert on printing, because the driver is faulty. read on... IF you have the HP LaserJet 1020 then the fix is found all the way down on this reply.

  • Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

    Dear All,
    I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
    That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
    I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
    Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
    Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
    Thank you in advance!
    Olek

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Hi, I swapped from o2 to vodafone and my apps stopped working.

    Hi - can anyone help please? I swapped from O2 to vodafone and all my apps stopped working. Tried deleting and re-downloading a couple and also tried downloading a brand new one - all would not work. Started to open and then immediately closed.
    I Tried lots of things and eventually found a thread on here that advised de-authorizing and re-authorizing my pc. I did this and it worked to some extent as I can now download new apps and they work so this was obviously part of the problem.
    However a lot of apps that I want wont download from the app store as I have a iphone 3g which only goes to 4.2.1 and they require higer OS now. I have a backup copy of my old apps (.ipa files) which will work on 4.2.1 and thought I would be able to load these back on. They seem to go in to itunes OK and they sync on to my phone but they will not run. Start to open and then close again (just like the original problem). I think it is something to do with being authorised by apple but don't know how to fix. I have always had the same apple id throughout and my iphone was unlocked properly by 02 so no funny business. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

    ask your phone carrier.

  • Apps stopped working today

    my apps stopped working today. When I click one it shows the loading screen then goes back to the home screen it was on. I also have been able to get the home screen to be stuck between pages often today.
    The only thing I did today was install bubble wrap and play it once then when I went to play pandora for the way to work it started happening.
    Turning off and on didn't fix it. Any ideas?

    Sometimes other apps does not release memory properly. So when you try running another app, iPhone terminates it. For some, turning off the iPhone (pressing the Sleep/Wake button) frees the memory, for some you need to reset the phone (pressing the Sleep/Wake and the Home button for 18 sec). What I do, when I use a lot of apps and after I'm done, I just turn off/on the phone. I also recommend reading the reviews before downloading an app - if there are comments like "it crashes my iPhone" or "It hangs", then I don't download it or wait until the developer fixes the issue.

  • Apps Stopped Working and go back to the home page

    Today suddenly my apps stopped working. When i would press them it would come up for a few secs and then go back to the home page. So i deleted all my apps on my ipod and figured i can dl again from my itunes. When i tried syncing the apps i got the msg: Some apps(all of them) were not synced because this computer is not authorized blah blah. I can Sync my songs/photos/vids fine. Can anyone help?

    From the message you need to authorize the computer for the account that purchased the apps.  See:
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    ALso make sure the iPod is also sign into that account.
    You can also redownload the apps directly to the iPod if you have iOS 4.3 or later,  see:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • We can't use any of app in Myanmar ! If someone send me with Myanmar font, my phone stop working for a while . Can u help us ? Like .. Adding Myanmar font :)

    When I used iOS4.3.3 , my phone did not stop working for a while although I can't see in Myanmar font!

    Apple has not yet included a Myanmar font in iOS, and there is no way for users to add one.  You can search the app store for "myanmar" or "burmese" to see if there are some apps that may be useful for some purposes. 
    The best place to ask Apple to add new features is

  • All third party apps stopped working (crash at launch)

    Ok, so there's a BUNCH of people having the exact same problem as I do (search this forum or Google with the title of this post). And I'm posting this in iPad but it does happen on iPhone too. Summary :
    Often after an iOS update (but not always) third party apps stop working. When started, they flash open and then just quit.
    Apple built-in apps keep working fine.
    NOTHING solves the problem : hard reboot (home+power until reboot), deinstall+reinstall one/all apps, restore the iPhone/iPad, buy a new (free) app from the store to "reset" software authorization, de/reauthorize computer, reset password from app store account, deinstall app and then reinstall using the iPad directly (not via iTunes), etc.
    I have one iPhone 4 and one iPad with this issue.
    Oddly enough, on the iPad, only apps that have recently been UPDATED crash. Apps that were present and left alone on the device keep working. On the iPhone, there was an iOS update so everthing was reinstalled and therefore doesn't work anymore.
    Strangest thing : reset the device to make sure nithing is open in the background, launch an app, app crashes and returns to springboard, double click "home" and... tadaam, the crashed app is in the list of open apps. On the iPad, 4-finger slide does even go to that app's screen (which is pitch black).
    As I said, 30 minutes of googling revealed at least 50 identical cases. All seem related to iOS 5.1. My iPhone rune iOS 5.1.1 (that was the upgrade) and my iPad runs iOS 5.1 and I'm NOT doing the update until I can solve this crazy thing.
    Please, all, HELP !
    Thanks in advance.

    Please, Alan, I know my message might be a bit long, but do read it! I DID try that and absolutely everything else that was mentionned in the other posts about this subject. Nothing works. And it doesn't work for the others either, not just me.
    The only thing I can think of right now is to put the iDevice in DFU then make a clean install and configure it as a new iThingy. This looses all stored data and config so it's a pain in the a... and I won't try it unless I'm pretty sure nothing else can be done. And I'm not entirely sre it'll work, either…

  • All apps stop working at the same time?

    After getting those 'free apps' from the app-store (directly with my iPhone3G)... they all worked fine for 1-2 days. I ran them many times without problems.
    Now they all stopped working at the same time. (They attempt to load... their main screens appear... then they just exit back to HOME instead.) Web-apps and built-in Apple software, all works fine.
    I've tried powering the iphone up/down several times.
    I've also tried deleting 1-2 of the apps from the phone... and the re-syncing.
    Same problem.
    Are there 'fixes' better than:
    Drive 1,000 miles back home and re-sync all your apps.
    Restore the phone and lose all my settings.
    Search, find, download, and re-install all the apps over again. (What if I had >100????)
    I need a 100% reliable phone... all the time.
    At any time... all my apps might instantly stop working for unknown reasons???
    (Itunes=v7.7.1.11 iPhone3G=2.0-3A347 PC=Windows Xp Pro)

    same thing happened to me, I think it has something to do with itunes 7.7.1
    I'm beginning to think you are right... but is there another way to copy things
    from PC to iPhone... without ever using iTunes?
    or... maybe it's not iTunes:
    ... since I downloaded all my apps direct from iStore->iPhone... wouldn't
    sync'ing them only copy them from iPhone->PC? (So how could iTunes be the
    problem... since it shouldn't really be 'writing' any apps TO the iPhone.)
    Or would copying songs (I only did 1) and MP4 video (I only did 1)... from
    PC->iPhone... somehow affect all my apps?
    With all the powerful things iTune does... I would think a simple "copy command" from PC to iPhone... wouldn't run the risk of damaging all my apps on the iPhone. Or could it?
