Satellite P50t-B-108 - BD-RW Firmware and Software

In the device-manager the CD-DVD-Drive is found as Pioneer BD-RW BDR-UD02D
I can't find any software to burn CDs, DVDs or Blu-Ray-Disks.
I can't find any driver/software in the download-area of Toshiba for my Notebook
Satellite P50t-B-108 for this BD-RW.
Can anybody help me please
R.Buchholz

According notebook specification your machine has BD optical disc drive inside and can read BD but it can write CDs and DVDs media only.
On many notebooks original recovery image contains some additional burning software. On my machine I got Nero burning ROM but I don't know what contains recovery image installed on your machine.
Fact is that this additional software cannot be downloaded additionally so I recommend you to obtain some third part software that you can use with your machine. Of course, as mentioned by Francesco, you can also use Windows options.

CURRENT Bluetooth Firmware and Software Version Listings

OK, I'm hoping there is someone out there that can provide me with what should be a relatively simple answer. My current machine is an iMac G5 1.8GHz. (Non-iSight), 2GB RAM, and 1TB hard disk running OS X 10.4.11
I'm curious to know what the current, up--to-date version listings should be for both the bluetooth software as well as the bluetooth firmware as displayed under "Bluetooth" in the System Profiler when selecting "About This Mac".
I've been experiencing some bluetooth "weirdness" lately and before I provide any additional information as to the exact problem, I'd like to know if the firmware and software versions are up-to-date first.
Apple doesn't seem to provide a chart to check against (unless I missed it), and other's on the forum have explained that those specs are "model-specific", making it a bit tricky. to determine. So that's why I listed my machine in hopes that someone can tell me what versions should be appearing.
Thanks in advance!

Modern firmware and software version not matching

Hi...I upgraded my software version to 5.0.1 and didn't upgrade the baseband. My current baseband is 2.10.04. Would this cause problems? I didn't update the firmware due to turbo issues.
Recently I'm having some problems of 'NO SIM CARD INSTALLED'. Does unmatching of firmware and software version have to do with this ?

Please rework the ZEN SDHC functionality with a firmware and software upda

ZEN owners would be very appreciati've if you guys over there at creative would rework the ZEN's SDHC functionality. It would be nice if the SDHC media was displayed in the same gorgeous user interface that the internal memory boasts. One way to accomplish this would be to integrate the SDHC media into the main library. But that would probably require a lot of coding i suppose. Another possibility would be if the SDHC cards file structure and interface to the player was formatted just like its internal counterpart. that way you could access the SDHC media using the same user interface as the internals, and it probably wouldn't be so much work to implement through firmware and software updates.
just some thoughts,
dave

I'm almost convinced they won't do it, they would have already told us that they are working on this. Instead of that Creative says nothing.
Some of us think that they do not integrade the SD crad in Zen library, because they will loose money. They believe that if Creative does that, then nobody will buy the 6 or 32 Gb versions, because everybody will buy the chepaer one and pout a high capacity card in it, which will be cheaper.
I do not believe this is correct. Everybody buys somethnig based on his needs. The biggest card available right know I thnik is 6Gb. My music is,let's say, 25GB. I need a 6Gb card plus 9GB of internal memory. The 8GB version won't do for me, so I have to buy the 6Gb version. Creative doesn't loose money. I really can't understand why they don't do it.
I'm fed up waiting for creative to do something about it.Message Edited by Voodooman on 2-6-200704:7 AM

Satellite C855-S5194 Windows 8 Recovery OS and software

Hi,
I just bought a Satellite C855-S5194 with Win8 and already created system recovery disks. Now I bought an Office and installed it through Microsoft website (no disk). I would like to create an image for the case the hard drive is broken and not accessible, which includes both the OS and the Office that I installed.
I read from the User Guide that the system recovery disks can restore the OS and preinstalled software, but how about the software that I bought from MS?
Please let me know if there is any way to recover both OS and software. Thank you in advance!

I am not a computer expert,..
So please pay attention, read things carefully, follow any links, think about it, and don't jump to hasty conclusions. Better to do more reading instead of typing a vague message to me.
I'll be repeating myself now, but I'll try to put more words in..
My No. 1 item explains that Windows 8 contains Windows 7's backup. You can google that and learn all about it. In particular, you'll learn that it enables you to create an image of the entire disk on external media. I'll save you some trouble and give you places to do your reading.
   Learn more about system image backup
   Back up your programs, system settings, and files
   Restore your computer from a system image backup
Notice that when you create a system image of the hard drive, you can restore it either to the existing disk or to a brand new disk.
We create one of these images (with third-party tools) every single day for every computer and retain ten generations. Backup is our most important application.
My No. 2 item talks about a repair disk. That's the one you need when you are restoring to a new hard drive. Since Windows is not running, you need a way to begin the restore process. That's one of the functions of the repair disk.
You'll see a link in the Windows 7 File Recovery area like this.
   Create a system repair disc
My No. 3 item talks about fixing things on your existing drive. Feel free to ignore it if you like. Maybe other viewers will find it of interest. When/if you find that Windows is broken, you'll begin to appreciate the various ways of recovering. Refresh is new in Windows 8.

Intermittent touchscreen support on Satellite P50T-A-10U

I purchased the above laptop Satellite P50t-A-10U at the weekend, and I have managed to see the touch screen work twice, once it works it'll work perfectly until shutdown/restart, but 90% of the time it doesn't respond to touch input (I must have restarted it around 20-30 times).
Windows acknowledges it's touch capable, but the setup/calibrate options in "Tablet PC settings" don't respond to input most of the time.
The only thing in the event log says "A multi-touch device reported inconsistent contact information".
I've updated all the drivers I can find, currently running Windows 8.1 but it didn't work out of the box either (with Windows 8.0).
Is this a hardware issue or just dodgy drivers?

It seems that you are the first who has shared such issue here in the community.
Because Im not quite sure if its software or hardware related problem, I would recommend you to reset the system back to factory settings.
How?
Take a look onto this doc:
[Windows 8 Recovery & Repair|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm]
By the way: What BIOS version is available on your notebook?
I found on Toshiba EU driver page new BIOS (v1.30) ready for download.

Satellite P50t-B-104: - WiFi doesen't work well

My new Satellite P50T-B-104 has an Intel dual band wireless-ac 3160 adapter.
Wi-Fi and also Bluetooth is supported by this adapter.
Bluetooth is running well.
On the Wi-Fi side there is no network in the connection list, although in our neighbourhood area there are a lot of private networks.
So first I updated the adapter (now driver 17.0.5.8 from the Intel homepage) but nothing change.
Then I tested it with my smartphone as a mobile Wi-Fi-Hotspot. I only receive a Wi-Fi signal, if the Wi-Fi sender is direct (max 10 cm) near the notebook.
It`s more a NFC than a Wi-Fi functionality.
If I placed the Wi-Fi-Router on the keyboard of the notebook Wi-Fi is running well.
I suppose the Wi-Fi antenna has a failure or does a controller exist to regulate the Wi-Fi sensitivity?

Hi xaver,
there is no difference with or without AC power suply. There is no problem to connect to my router, the problem is the poor possible distance between notebook and my WLAN router.
When you start your WiFi functionality of your notebook for the first time your WiFi adapter present a list with all the possible WLAN networks in your neighbourhood. In my case normaly there must be six oder seven WLAN networks and one of this WLAN networks is my network.
I also tested WLAN functionality with a USB WLAN stick. The stick was automaticly installed and recognize 6 different networks. The integrated WLAN adapter only one, my router and only by a distance of 10cm or closer.
Now I placed the notebook in a distance of 1 meter from my WLAN router. The integrated WLAN adapter doesn't receive any network, the list of the possible WLAN networks for the integrated WLAN adapter is empty, while the wlan usb stick notify all networks.
So I contact Toshiba service to get help.
Gerd
PS: I wrote the reply with the poor wlan connection.

Satellite P50T-A-115 after Win8.1 upgrade does not play sound over HDMI

I have a newly acquired Satellite P50T-A-115, upgraded to win 8.1, all drivers and upodates suggested are installed.
I get no sound on my home movie system, playing from my laptop, while the video is good.
The sound comes from the laptop internal speakers.
There is no other options than my internal loud speakers in the control panel.
I have seen similar questions for other laptops, but have not found suggestions useful.
Does anyone get this to work on a P50T-A-115 ?

Please check this thread
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=74149
There was a similar discussion and issue could be solved by installing and updating the drivers in the right order and uninstalling the Intel WiDi as suggested by Toshiba.
Feedback would be appreciated.

Satellite P50T-A - Bluetooth not working in Win 8.1

Since I bought my Toshiba Satellite P50t-A-125 laptop 2 weeks ago I have had problems with the bluetooth. My mouse kept disconnecting and I had to unpair and pair again over and over again to get it to work. The bluetooth device itself in the laptop kept disappearing from the device manager and somehow I managed to get it back again by re-installing the drivers.
However, now whatever I do I cannot get the bluetooth device to appear again in Device Manager. I have searched for new devices but it doesn't find it. There is now an Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) showing under USB controllers. I update the drivers but it says they are up to date.
I have tried searching online and seen lots of people having this issue with Windows 8.1 and all the solutions I've tried don't make a difference. My laptop came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed so I would have thought that Toshiba would have made sure that bluetooth would work under Windows 8.1 before making them available for sale but obviously not.
Any idea on how to add bluetooth back into device manager?

Despite restarting my laptop over and over again yesterday and downloading drivers and updates nothing fixed it. I gave up and found an old USB mouse and ignored the bluetooth problem.
Today, seemingly at random the bluetooth is back in the device manager again even though I did nothing different today than I had already tried yesterday.
Now that it is back I was able to untick the power management settings of allow the computer to turn off this device to save power(as has been suggested online) and so far (fingers crossed) it has remained stable except for once it stopped working briefly.
I still don't understand why it vanished from the device manager in the first place or why it has reappeared without doing anything.
There is clearly something seriously wrong with bluetooth under Windows 8.1

How to create new partition on a brand-new Satellite P50T-A0EE?

Hi,
I bought a Toshiba, Satellite P50T-A0EE SLV laptop yesterday with installed Win 8, in Adelaide. First, I realised that only one C:/ partition is available and no additional partition is created for data and for some reason, already 150 GB is used on the C:/ by the factory installed software.
Moreover, checking the disk management, it came up that four primary partitions exist.
One is the C:/, two others are called Healthy (Recovery Partition), and one is the Healthy (EFI System Partition).
As I read up about it, a fifth primary partition is questionable to create, maybe even not supported.
When I just started to launch on C:/ the 'shrink volume' command, much less space was offered to use than it was displayed as free under file manager.
Could someone help, please how to create a separate partition with a reasonable size (600 GB at least from the 1Tb) for data? I would not like to keep my data files on a same partition with windows.
Thanks,
Gerti

Hi dude,
Before you would start to modify the HDD partitions table, I recommend strongly to create an Toshiba Recovery Medium using the preinstall software/tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
This software creates either the recovery disks (DVDs) or Recovery USB flash memory.
Its very important to create such medium in case you would like to go back to the factory state.
After that you could use an open source software like Gparted tool to create the partitions and to modify the HDD partitions table.
http://gparted.org/liveusb.php
Note: the partitions which are already available on the HDD contain the Toshiba recovery image which allows you to recover the notebook from HDD. But this is possible only in case the HDD partitions table has not been modified in the past.

Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

Hello,
I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
Why is edge switpes still enabled?
How to disable edge swipes?
Regards
Graham

> I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
> Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
> When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
Thats right and this is how it works
> However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

Satellite P50t-A - Forced hibernation even with power connected

Hello,
I have a Satellite P50t-A where the battery appears to be failing. It is reading 0% and the charger is periodically charger is turning on and off. When it stops charging (about every 5 mins), the computer run for a period then enters forcefully enters hiberation. This hiberation occurs eveen when the power is connected. Why is it entering hiberation even when the power is connected? Why does battery status has precedence over a stable power?
I have ordered a new battery and waiting for its arrival. In the interim, how to force the laptop to run on power (ignore the battery status)? If I open up the laptop and remove the battery, will it run with the power connected and the battery removed?
Regards
Graham

Update. Disassmebled laptop and disconnected the battery. It now powers up now and the battery monitor reports "no battery detected". After running it for a period, the forced hiberation no longer occurs.

Satellite P50T-A016 DVD turns on perioically when computer is idle

Hello,
When the computer is idle, I have noticed that my new Satellite P50T-A016 laptop is DVD drive turns on and checks for a disc is present. I want to prevent this behaviour, however I am unsure if it is OS (windows 8.1) or an installed program. What is triggering this DVD drive activation? How can I identify what is causing this behaviour?
Regards
Graham

Yes, when the TPCH service is disabled/stop, the periodic activation of the DVD drive stops.
When the "PC Health monitor" application is started, the TPCH service is automatically restarted. Looking at the application, it gives no information about the "health" of DVD drive, yet it checks the DVD drive. Strange. It would be nice for the "PC Health monitor" application to have a setting that can disable the DVD checking.
Thanks for the information.

Satellite P50T-A-125 - Wi-Fi Connectivity issues

I am having major issues connecting to WiFi with a Satellite P50t-A-125 laptop.
We have 3 of these laptops in the house, but only having WiFi connectivity problems with one of them.
It doesn't matter where the laptop is located (i.e. house, hotel, overseas etc ), the problem is the same.
It will connect to the WiFi local 'hot spot' / hub, but will not connect to the internet and the "limited connectivity" message comes up.
This is a very annoying and time consuming problem, any help or advice in resolving it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards - SSG.

Hi
I think you should start with WLan driver update.
Mostly such limited connection issues could be solved by Wlan driver updates.
From my knowledge the notebook was equipped with Intel Wireless-N 7260 Plus Bluetooth Wlan card
The newest driver for this Intel page could be downloaded from Intel website:
[Intel Wireless-N 7260|https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+ Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+Wi-Fi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless-N+7260&ProdId=3713&LineId=1784&FamilyId=1783]
