Satellite P870-026 Win 8.1 - no mirror screen to TV using Intel WiDi

I have followed the Windows procedures to mirror my Satellite P870-026 screen to a new Samsun TV with mirroring capability.
The process is under the Charms menu and then to select Devices, Project, Add a Wireless Display. The first few times I tried, it found the TV but it usually came up with the message "No devices found".
If it did find the TV it didn't project the laptop's screen and the connection would drop out quickly. Now, it never finds the TV.
My Galaxy S3 phone connects and mirrors its screen very quickly and is a stable connection, so the TV is working fine. The TV is the current model Samsung UA60H7000AW.
As I understand the issue might stem from the graphics drivers, I've updated the Intel HD Graphics 4000 drivers but that did nothing.
I downloaded "Intel(R) WiDi Update Tool.exe" but it won't run. An error message says "Failed to launch due to network connectivity issue". I have no idea what his means as I never have trouble with WiFi.
I did find one suggestion on the internet, but relating to a different computer, and was to delete and reinstall the graphics drivers but it also warned of the need to be very careful.
Am I even going down the right path looking as the graphics drivers?
Any suggestions please.
Hans

Thanks for the Toshiba notice. Working through the Resolution section, my laptop doesn't have "Intel Wireless Display" in its programs listing so there is noting to delete. The method to then connect a wireless display is the procedure I've been following but results in "No Devices Found".
According to:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-8/project-wireless-screen-miracast
my laptop does have Miracast as I do get the Add Device option so it should work. I seem to be back to square 1.

  • Cannot use Intel widi with my Satellite L50-A-11T

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite L50-A-11T and i've tried to use Intel widi with Windows 8.1 and doesn't work, it says that the system is not compatible.
    With Windows 8 it was ok and worked fine, but in the instruccions for upgrading it said to remove Intel widi.
    Why is that?
    Thanks in advance.

    You misunderstood this info.
    Intel WiDi isnt supported in Win 8.1 on Toshiba notebooks BUT instead of Intel WiDi you can use Miracast.
    But Intel WiDi is not Miracast.
    Intel WiDi was developed by Intel.
    Miracast is an standard supported by developed by WiFi Allianz and Intel is a part of this Allianz
    Windows 8.1 as well as Android 4.2 support the Miracast standard.
    But this does not mean that you can use it always you need the compatible hardware parts.
    In case your TV would not support Miracast standard, you will not be able to use it

  • Firefox 7 does Win XP into a blue screen, when I use FF7 with Ubuntu on the same pc the pc does not crash. So it seems to be a problem of win XP and not my pc ....

    FF 7 opens and then after a few minutes the pc goes to a blue screen.
    the blue screen advices a bios upgrade, but with Ubuntu (most recent version) I can use FF endlessly without any problem.

  • Toshiba Satellite P870 upgraded to Win 8.1 does not boot

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P870 with Win 8 preinstalled. Soon after upgrade to Win 8.1 and basically successful removal of “watermark error” (secure boot activated) the machine stopped booting completely: after pressing the power button ventilator sound
    is heard with periodically changing loudness as well as clicking sound from the speakers. The screen stays black. Attempts to start the PC through pressing F2 or zero buttons did not produce any result. Neither did I succeed with recovery discs I created before:
    the system simply does not boot from the disk. It looks like I tried all options offered by Microsoft and Toshiba. I would be happy to roll back to factory settings.
    Could someone give me hint what to do next?

    Hi,
    For the issue, let us know how to remove the “watermark error".
    Meanwhile, I would like to confirm if you could access the BIOS.
    I suggest you update the BIOS version to test it.
    If you want to repair the startup issue, you should use windows 8.1 recovery discs or installation discs.
    Meanwhile, if you cannot access the BIOS, it may be caused by hardware, I suggest you contact the Toshiba manufacturer for further help.

  • Using Apple TV to mirror from a pc using Widi possible?

    Can I use Apple TV as an adapter to mirror the video from my pc using Intel Widi?  I heard the 3rd generation Apple TV supports Widi but I can't figure out how to connect.  When Intel Widi scans for available adapters it does not see the Apple TV.  The Intel Widi help utility says that the TV should be displaying the "To Get Started" screen, but I don't know how to get the TV to do that.  I'm trying to run Intel Widi from a PC running Windows 8.0 and I've heard that Windows 8.1 is required, but if so I'm not sure why the Intel Widi program would be pre-installed on my 8.0 machine and running at all up to the stage where it is scanning for available adaptors.

    No. But you can use a 3rd party program like Airparrot to mirror your display.

  • Windows 8.1 upgrade issues on Satellite P870 - PSPLFA

    Hi there,
    For better or worse over the weekend I have downloaded windows 8.1 onto a toshiba laptop (p870 PSPLFA model) that was running windows 8. Video card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 2GB with Optimus + Intel HD Graphics 4000
    http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p870/psplfa-019001/specifications
    couple of issues:
    (a) I am having a few problems getting windows 8.1 to work properly on this laptop and can't get/find new drivers from the toshiba website to sort out the video card properly.
    Any ideas of how or when I can download video drivers that are suitable for this laptop?
    Not overly keen on uninstalling and rolling back to windows 8 now that I have gone this far...
    I have a call in yesterday with microsoft yesterday that seems to be going nowhere to fix a couple of other things following this upgrade.
    (b) On the windows 8.1 machine my internet connection when running IE11
    now seems a bit flaky and suspect this is a internet explorer 11/windows 8.1 issue (other laptops on my wireless network running windows 7 and XP are working fine and not dropping out as well as can access all the info I can't on the win 8.1 machine) which seems to be a bit of a common issues looking at some other forums and
    (c) I can't download or open files from google docs (screen just freezes most of the way through the download) on the upgraded windows 8.1 machine.
    Any help appreciated,
    Ken

    Hi
    Your notebook belongs to the PSPLFA series. This series was released in Australian
    The same notebook series PSPLFE is available in Europe.
    On the Toshiba EU driver page you will find all Win 8.1 update drivers
    http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    _Importnat:_ the Win 8.1 drivers have to be installed in the right order!
    Check the installation instruction which is available in the driver list too and follow exact this order!

  • Satellite P870 - simple image backup & restore software required

    Does anyone know of simple disk imaging software to back up and restore C: drive including the OS and every file.
    I used to use BartPE which had the shell of Windows XP on the CD and booted from the CD and allowed an image to be made or restored. It didn't matter if the PC's OS was broken was a simple OS on the CD plus Norton Ghost 8.
    My Satellite P870 can only boot from a USB (selected in the BIOS) and I've been unsuccessful getting my BartPE to boot from a USB. Similarly I installed Odin Imaging software but it doesn't boot from the USB either, though I can run it from Explorer (but relies on Windows 8 loading properly).
    I also downloaded Paragon Free Data Recovery but it wants to install the program on the laptop. I want a purely portable drive/image copying program.

    > Message was edited by: peterk_1
    Firstly, I have to correct where I said the P870 does not boot from the optical drive. Both USB and ODD are options. In the process I managed to create a bootable USB with EaseUS and a bootable CD with Paragon Backup & Data Recovery 2013 (free version). However the laptop would not boot from the USB or CD despite setting USB or ODD at the number 1 position in the BIOS.
    The following changes to the BIOS (version 2.30) does cause the laptop to boot from the USB or CD as the case may be, however it is not a permanent solution as the laptop will not boot into Windows even if there is no USB device attached or a CD/DVD in the ODD.
    Set Secure Boot to disable. Set Advanced System Configuration Boot Mode to CSM Boot.
    When the job is done Boot Mode will need to be put back to UEFI Boot. If there is a better way whereby the settings do not have to constantly be changed, Id be interested but its not important for my needs.
    On using EaseUS to back up C: drive, I could not see the 2 partitions I had created from splitting C drive so I put it aside and tried Paragon Backup & Data Recovery 2013 (free version). I had to download the install the program on the laptop and from there, create a bootable CD (or USB).
    That all worked smoothly as did running the program.
    There is no need to keep the program on the laptop once the bootable USB/CD is created though I have not reviewed it for other useful operations.
    The commands are relatively intuitive and the help answered one question I had along the way.
    The only confusing thing I found was when restoring the data and being confronted with a string of drives to copy the data back to. Following the process of elimination I chose F drive in my case based on the drive size. The only odd thing was the cursor; each time I touched the track pad with a second finger, the cursor flew to the left or right.
    That might be peculiar to the P870 and Windows 8 its pretty much straight out of the box with virtually no software installed by myself (yet).
    As for my old BartPE, it caused the blue screen of death twice in succession so it is relegated to use only with my old XP laptop.

    Games aren't jagged they just aren't crisp.
    The webcam video quality is shocking. It's probably a setting that can fix this, if so can you point me in the right direction to fix this please as it's annoying me

  • Satellite A500-026 - Can't do anything that involes networking

    I bought a Satellite A500-026 and just took it out of box.
    Cannot do anything that involves networking, they all freeze or load up blank, internet explorer does not open up at all. I cannot turn my firewalls on or antivirus on.
    Not to mention for a new machine with a P8800 processor its pretty slow (my 5yo laptop is faster).
    Stuck

    Hello
    I really don't know what do you do with your notebook and believe me it would be nice to see how the first start looks like.
    In my opinion you should start HDD recovery installation again and start your notebook again with clean preinstalled OS.
    When installation is finished and all processes are running the first thing you should do is to connect LAN cable to your notebook and start internet explorer.
    I am 100% sure you will get LAN signal and be able to see start page.
    We don't know what you do exactly. Maybe you have installed some third part software or changed OS settings. Fact is that clean preinstalled OS will not have such problems.

  • Satellite P870: Game The Hunter won't launch - No appropriate display modes

    Hi there,
    I have a Satellite P870 that I just just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and now a game that I play called theHunter won't launch.
    When I run the launcher it comes up with an error saying 'No Appropriate Display Modes'.
    It was working fine on Windows 8.
    The support at theHunter hasn't been very helpful and despite trying a number of different things I can't seem to solve this issue. I've also contacted Microsoft but am waiting for a call back as they were very busy!
    Any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem and how to solve it?
    Thanks.

    I dont play this game and cannot say what the problem can be. To be honest such message is not clear to me. I use Win8.1 too but until now I didnt see it on my notebook.
    Try to ask this Question on hunter forum http://forum.thehunter.com/index.php
    Maybe someone there will be able to help you.

  • Satellite A505-S6025: Win 7 64bit - driver ACPI\TOS1901 fails

    If anyone knows what it is and how i can fix it.
    thanks!!!
    the driver\driver\fwlnk failed to load for the device ACPI\TOS1901\2&daba3ff&2

    Hi
    Install the Toshiba Value Added Package for Win 7 64bit and check if it will solve your problem.
    The driver for ACPI\TOS1901 seems to belongs to Value Added Package
    As Im not mistaken the Satellite A505-S6025 was released in USA. Therefore you should use the Toshiba US driver page to get the package.

  • How to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012

    how to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012.  The airplay is not displayed anywhere except I Tunes which only plays what is on I Tunes.

    Howdy there nell a-7,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the Airplay icon in the menu bar on your Mac but you do see it in iTunes. I would use these steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Try these steps first
    Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
    Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    All AirPlay-enabled devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a Guest Network. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General >Network and ensure that you're connecting to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device. On your iOS device, tap Setting > Wi-Fi and confirm that this matches your Apple TV.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

  • Case Question -- iSkin Solo FX Mirrored Screen Protector

    I'm considering the iSkin solo FX case for my new iPhone (http://www.iskin.com/solo/). It comes with a mirrored screen protector. I'm assuming the mirrored faceplate is like a two-way mirror, allowing light to emit from behind. Anybody tried this case? Does the mirrored face cut down on the brightness of the iPhone's screen?

    The case is real cool ( i have the burnt orange one.) Real sleek, and grips nicely on hard surfaces. 2 BUTS: the mirror face always looks grimy, because it shows every single fingerprint, (especially if you have lotion on your hand or face.) And some dirt accumulates along the side edges. But the look is nice (definitely a two-way mirror effect) and only cuts down on the brightness of the screen about 5%.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

    Hi.
    Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
    bios-20070709111839.zip
    After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
    I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
    What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
    Thanks in advance
    MAT

    > Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
    What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
    You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
    Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
    But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
    Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
    Good luck
