Satellite Pro L20 -can anyone tell me whether I have a problem with screen?

Hi,
I have a Pro L20 - PSL25E and i have recently been having problems with the screen, it has been intermittently flickering/losing colour and almost whiting out (when the colour fades white vertical lines start to appear).
This seemed to become worse after i dropped it (only from about 2 feet off the ground not a big drop).
I thought the sceen may be going, but the perfomance of the laptop seems to be affected when this is happening, the laptop has started to run very slow (the mouse tracks slow, programs I've clicked take ages to run and it sometimes freezes until it stops flickering) which had me thinking it might be a virus or perfomance issue.
My screen drivers are up to date, i ran a full scan with McAfee, ran a system clear-up and a defrag.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether this seemed like a problem with the screen connections and would need replacing or whether it could be repaired, or whether it was a perfomance issue?
Any help would be much appreciate thanks!
Rebecca.

Sounds like the Graphics chip has a problem, which I think is a Mainboard replacement.
You can get a quote for the repair at an Authorized Service Provider. There is an ASP list on the Toshiba website.

Can anyone tell me how to fix the problem with downloading music? Now with the new iOS5

Ever since the new iOS5, and now 5.1, whenever I download music, and play it on my iPad2, the album cover will "flash" white between each song, whereas before the picture would hold steady for the duration of the album play! I have to admit I find this REALLY annoying! Even syncing with my MacBook doesn't fix the problem...any ideas?

Hi Jane,
First, regarding the virus issue, although I cannot promote any specific 3rd party software, there are plenty of FREE and very good anti-virus apps out there. You can Google 'free antivirus" and a good list will come up. You may want to look at a few reviews before you try. I don't know if you use Mac or Windows so you may have to do a little research on which is best for your computer platform. You can run the software and it will help clean off your system if there's a virus.
Second, regarding your Elements sync to Revel, you may need to disable and then re-enable the Revel sync agent from within Elements, which you find in Preferences. In addition you may try signing out and then back into Revel via Elements.
Let me know how that goes. If the disable/re-enable doesn't help, I'll get an Elements team member to see if they can help.
Best of luck on the virus software!

I figured it out. Copy the picture from where you have it stored on your computer, and paste into the text line of the iMessage. Simple!

Hi ravelvanto,
mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...

When I am downloading a free application (foursquare) in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

I am currently using iPhone 3GS and when I am going to download foursquare which is a FREE application in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? For further informations, I am currently using Windows running Vista. Special thanks to those who replied.

Your iTunes account sounds like it does not have a credit card or payment attached to it. Even free apps require that you have entered payment information even though you won't be charged for the app.

Can anyone please help me, I'm having problems with sound while watching video clips using flash player using Internet Explorer\

There's a good chance that this is a known issue. We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

My ipad is no longer syncing automatically when I connect to my macbook pro. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

I've had an ipad since late December 2010.
In the past, it has always automatically synced when I connect it to my macbook pro.
Now, when i connect it...nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

The first thing to do is to launch iTunes on your Mac. Go to Preferences - under the iTunes heading in the menu at the top. Click on Devices. Make sure that you uncheck the box next to - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the Devices heading on the left side of iTunes. Then click on the Summary Tab at the top right side of the iTunes window. Put a checkmark (select) in the box next to - Open iTunes when this iPad is Connected. Make sure that all of the other boxes are checked as you desire according to what you want to sync. Click - Apply - in the lower right corner to sync.
Disconnect your iPad after syncing. Quit iTunes. Then connect your iPad again and iTunes should launch and sync automatically.

I can't select Photos to back up in iCloud from my MacBook Pro. Can anyone tell me why? I have 17 GB of available data that I'm paying for.

My MacBook Pro data is backed up in iCloud (I pay monthly for 20 GB) but apparently my photos are not backed up and it won't allow me to select Photos from the list for back up. Can anyone tell me why?

The current iCloud isn't meant for backing up Macs. It's only for mobile devices.
The beta iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8 will store photos in the iCloud for access from other mobile devices for from iCloud.com. The new Photos app under development for OS X on Macs will not be released until sometime this spring. It will have the capability of storing and accessing photos from iCloud.
iCloud Drive is for sharing documents between multiple devices signed in to the same iCloud ID. When the new Photos application is released the space purchased for iCloud will be available for the photo storage system.

Satellite Pro L20 - Can't get WLAN to work

Hi,
I'm having problems with my Satellite Pro L20 after a reinstall. The wlan wont work.
I installed the correct driver but have had no luck.
Any body have the same issue?
Any help would be great

Did you reinstall your notebook with the recovery disk or Microsoft disk?
Which driver did you install?
You should use the driver from the Toshiba website. Check it again:

Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.

I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem

I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem

By your use of "still", did this problem exist before OS X Server was installed? OS X Server itself has no particular linkages to video processing, beyond what OS X client provides.
Some details on the configuration might be useful. Are these videos you're having issues with stored locally in files, or are these videos received over the network and played? If the videos are local, have you tried playing the videos from a different disk? If the video files are remote, can you download the videos and play them as a test?
What software are you using to play the videos? QuickTime? QuickTime X? Does using VLC or another player work better? There are some discussions of choppy videos around the forums, too.

Can someone tell me if there's a problem with my recursive file search?

I've been trying to get a recursive file search working. I wanted to go through each directory and add every file to a database so I can use extremely fast, advanced file searches through my program. I wrote up this code
<CODE>
package myrecursive;
import java.io.*;
public class MyRecursive {
public static void main(String[] args) {
recursiveSearch("D:/");
private static void recursiveSearch(String x) {
String tempFile="";
File dir = new File(x);
File[] curDir = dir.listFiles();
for (int a=0;a<curDir.length;a++) {
if (curDir[a].isDirectory()==false) System.out.println(curDir[a]);
else {
tempFile=curDir[a].toString();
recursiveSearch(tempFile);
</CODE>
The code was simple but I didn't think I could write it like this without killing my resources or getting a buffer overload. I ran it and it worked. However, I am running a high end box with 512MB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz processor so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machine. I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true? How would I avoid it? Should I keep it this way? Any recommendations?
NOTE: I ran the code through JBuilder. JBuilder has a console built into the IDE and will return a noise and the error code whenever it hits an error. Although my app kept shooting out files it found out I heard a noise a few times. Does this mean anything?

First the formatting tags should be "[ ]" not "< >".
I was told you should avoid calling a method from itself is this true?Recursion is a valid programming technique and in fact makes many algorithms much easier to code.
so I don't know if what worked for me will work on a lower end machineIt may be a little slower but it will still work. Recursion only causes a problem with resources when you have many levels of recursion. On my system I have:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
In this case there is only 4 levels of recursion. This is not going to cause a problem. You would generally only have problems if your recusion routine is not working correctly and you get in an infinite loop which will lead to resource problems and an abend.
In your particular case you aren't even using many resources at all since all you are doing is printing the file name.
This [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=435487&start=3&range=1]post shows a recursive routine that list all files for a directory and displays them in a table. In this cause you might have a problem with resources depending on the number of files in the directory. But the resource problem is because of the memory to hold the filenames in the table, not because a recursive routine was used to get the filename.

Macbook Pro issues - can anyone tell if 'normal' or faults

I have some issues with my new 15" 2.66 unibody (non-removable batery) MBP. I'm told by the retailer that they are all normal/common - i'd like see if this is actually the case or they fobbing me off.
1.) Something 'lose' inside the case around hard drive area - ie if i move the mac around (vertically is worst - ie imagine holding it with two hands with hinge sitting downwards, closed) i can hear something fairly hefty clunking back and forth against the inside of the shell (hard drive moving about?)
2.) When i opn the lid for the first time after a period of the mac being closed, i get a reasonable creak/crack from the left side of the screen hinge.
3.) When i run the battery down and it goes to sleep 'to preserve the contents of memory' it doesn't take long at all before battery so low it goes into deep sleep (ie state where all RAM contents are written to disk - and then takes a min or so to come to life again when you open the lid - my old macbook pro could last a good few hours in sleep mode before dying completely and deep sleeping
I'd really like to know if anyone has noticed similar issues with their machines - or if indeed these are isolated issues to a few, aka faults.
Thanks in advance

The sudden motion sensor may make the appearance of something bouncing in there as it may activate while the drive is being moved around suddenly. However, if this does not appear to be the case, I'd ask an authorized service center.
2.) When i opn the lid for the first time after a period of the mac being closed, i get a reasonable creak/crack from the left side of the screen hinge.
Is the opening range different from other ones in the store?
3.) When i run the battery down and it goes to sleep 'to preserve the contents of memory' it doesn't take long at all before battery so low it goes into deep sleep (ie state where all RAM contents are written to disk - and then takes a min or so to come to life again when you open the lid - my old macbook pro could last a good few hours in sleep mode before dying completely and deep sleeping
The battery may need calibration at first:

If it is calibrated, and you aren't getting the life expected by that link for rudimentary usage, have the power manager looked at.
