Tecra 9100 - hooking up TV - Please help

guys
trying to hook my tecra upto my 42" plasma, via the video cable. Trouble is the picture is very grainy , to the point where you cannot read any text or clearly see the picture. Ive tried changing resolution but to no avail.
Would really appreciate any help or tips

ps I seem to be using the s3`graphics card

Hello Steven
I really dont believe that you will be able to make it better. I use my 32" LCD TV and the picture quality is not much better. The quality during playing games and watching DVD movies is perfect but writing something is not possible. The symbols are too small and blurred.

TECRA 8100 BIOS update problem - PLEASE HELP!

Hi.
I have Windows XP and I try to update bios with win-BIOS-250.exe. But when I run this file it appears a window with communicate: TOSHIBA Common Modules is not installed. I don't have floppy drive - maybe it is the reason. Is there any possibility to update bios without floppy drive?

Hi
If You cannot or do not want to install the Common Modules, there is another trick to try.
Sure it's a lot more complicated, but it will enhance the cool image you already have :) Your friends will be highly impressed!
It will also demand some tech knowledge on how to handle diskette images and create bootable CD's.
You can download the BIOS-diskette intended for traditional BIOS updates to another PC - one that has a diskette drive.
Create the diskette there.
Start a CD burning software and choose to create a bootable CD. Normally the burning software will ask you to provide the bootable diskette - point to the one You just created. Burn the CD.
Done!
Now you can boot the 8100 on the CD and it will upgrade the BIOS.
Maybe a waste of CD-media...but if you really need it...

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

How to hook up a Linksys WRT54G to Motorola NVG589. PLEASE HELP!

Hello, I have recently switched over to AT&T Uverse and I am loving it. One thing I miss is having extra ethernet ports to plug in my desktop computer and my Xbox 360. When the Uverse technician came in, he installed a Motorola NVG589 modem that also has a built in wireless router. He also installed a VAP2500 as a receiver for 2 wireless TV boxes. The VAP2500 plugs into the back of the Motorola NVG589. 3 other TV boxes are plugged into the back as well. My dilemma is the fact that all of the ports are being taken up. I need at least 2 more ethernet ports free so I can hook up my Xbox 360 (my model doesn't have built in wifi) and my desktop computer as well. I told the technician this when he installed the system and he told me to go on ebay and buy 2 cheap splitters and split 2 TV boxes that are coming into the NVG589. I did so. It didn't work out. I called up AT&T and the guy over the phone said that was the worst thing I could've done. He told be I should buy an ethernet switch. I had my Linksys WRT54G (Version 6) router laying around at the time and realized that it had a built in ethernet switch. I want to get this to also function as another Wifi hotspot because I have an old PowerMac G4 downstairs that won't connect to the NVG589 for some reason (it says connection timeout). I am guessing that the wifi card in the system may be too old to connect to the modern NVG589. So, I need the 2 extra ethernet ports and another Wifi hotspot from this setup. I have tried multiple things to get this to work. The closest way I could get it to work was when I plugged an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the WRT54G to port on the back of the NVG589. I then plugged the TV box ethernet cable I had to disconnect into the second LAN port on the WRT54G as well as plugging my Xbox 360 into the 3rd LAN port and my computer into the 4th LAN port. This worked great for the TV box and the Xbox 360. However, the computer's ethernet connection ran very slow and the WIfi from the WRT54G was very slow as well. The Wifi from the NVG589 was slow too. I unhooked that setup and put it back to what it was beforehand. Is there anyone that knows of a flawless way of setting this up? Any articles someone can link me to? I've heard of bridging the NVG589...would that help me? How exactly would I do that? Please HELP. I have attached pics. On the back of the NVG589 - green ethernet is the DSL cable, both white ethernet cables along with the black one are TV boxes and the yellow ethernet cable is the VAP 2500. Thanks!

Ya, the install tech must have been sleeping or texting or something during training.... or it's possible he misunderstood you and thought your were talking about needing extra phone ports, which could be accomplished with simple splitters. You were almost where you needed to be with your setup, you just missed some steps. Connect your wired computer only to one of the Linksys' LAN port. With the Linksys powered up press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds (will need toothpick or unfolded paperclip). This will perform a "factory" reset. When the Linksys is fully rebooted, log in to the Linksys. Do not configure the "Internet Connection Type" on the Linksys. Navigate to the "Wireless" section on the Linksys and configure the wireless. Do not use the same SSID (wireless network name) that the NVG589 uses. Save changes. Navigate to the "LAN" configuration on the Linksys and set the routers address to 192.168.1.1 and disable the DHCP Server. Save changes. This step will kick you out of the router. Power down your computer and the Linksys, run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the NVG589 to a LAN port on the Linksys, then power up the Linksys, and when it's fully rebooted, power up your computer. You should be good to go at this point. You will want to individually configure your wireless devices to use either the wireless network from the NVG or the wireless network from the Linksys. Otherwise they make keep jumping back and forth between the two, which will degrade performance for that device. You may still notice a slight to moderate performance drop for the wireless on both the NVG and the Linksys because they will be competing for the same wireless airspace along with the VAP2500.

My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!!

My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!! The imac is a 21.5" and they also already bought an HD 21.5 ASUS LCD monitor to attach to it. I'm really trying to make this setup work but this is becoming a nightmare. Any suggestions? I looked up different VGA adapters but the only options for this would be a usb-vga connection which doesn't work on macs. Can anyone tell me if this new Thunderbolt connection will work in some way? Thanks

Using the Thunderbolt port attach a Mini-display to DVI so long as the Asus display is equipped and capable, otherwise Mini-display to VGA will also work. The Thunderbolt port is ahead devices which are not yet available to take advantage of the increased capacity in speed. Until the devices and connection cables are available, just use the port as a Mini-display port.

I drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones

i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

I just hooked up a airport express as my new router and now I cant play videos on my imac or ipad. PLEASE HELP.

I just hooked a new airport express and now I cant play videos on my imac or ipad. I do have a sprint airave hooked up to the system. I dont know if i have all the cables hooked up right but everything works except playing videos on either device. PLEASE HELP. Thank you

Yea rudegar its weird. I dont have sound either. I have read to put airave behind router but I cant find anywhere how to hook all the wires up. I have 2 ports in the back of the airport express(1 wan and 1 ethernet), 1 port on my modem and 3 ports on the airave(wan and 2 lan). I dont know which cable goes where, wan ,lan, ethernet, back of computer etc. Im an idiot when it comes to all this stuff but Im sure its simple fix but obviously not for me. I read people put modem to router to airave but dont say which port to put them in.

Please Help!!! My daughters birthday is tomorrow and cannot hook up camera

Hello,
This is the first time that we have tried to hook our Sony Handycam (mini dv) up to our imac instead of our Sony Vaio computer. I am trying to burn a DVD off of the DV Rewritable disc I have and use it again tomorrow for my daughters birthday but it is not working with the mac? Anything I can do, please help. Thank you in advance!

Can you insert the DVD and just drag the files off?
Please be careful! The iMac is NOT compatible with 3 inch DVD, like the ones used by this sony handicam!
If you insert this kind of DVD into your iMac, you will have a broken superdrive, in addition to a video problem!
Please tell us exactly what model of camera you have, and we can better assist you.

IThe first time it went through the whole process and it seemed like it worked but it still showed the Screen that has a iPod power cord that has an arrow pointing to the iTunes thumbnail. And now i thought well maybe it is restored i just need to sync it to Itunes but no my computer said that i encountered a problem my iPod and that i need to restore it so I tried. And at the end of the first step, the Verifying Software step, it said that the device "iPod" could not be found, so Itried it again and again but it still came up with the same results so I'm screwed so if you can could you please help me i really need after a disabled iPod for about 2 to 3 months now. So if you could please help i would appreciate it alot. THANK YOU.

- Reboot the computer, try another USB port and try anohter cable.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restore.

HP Photosmart C4780: Can't hook up wireless..Please Help

I just bought a brand new IMAC and a brand new HP Photosmart C4780 wireless printer and a new Linksys WRT160N wireless-NBroadband Router. I go thru all the steps to set up and than get the error message the configuration failed and the software was unable to configure my device. The error message says :
Ip Address: Failed to retrieve IP
Subnet Mask : Failed to retrieve IP
Default Gateway : Failed to retrieve IP
Preferred DNS Server: Failed to retrieve IP
Alternate DNS Server: Failed to retrieveIP
I am clueless where to go from here. Can someone please help.
Thank You
Joe

The Linksys WRT160N has WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). If you are using WPA-PSK encryption (recommended), then you can easily connect the C4780 to your wireless network using WPS:
1) On the Linksys router, press the WPS button that is top of the case just under the Cisco label. When the LED on the button starts to blink, then the WPS process has started.
2) On the C4780 printer:
press the Scan Button
select Wireless Menu
select WPS
select Push Button
The printer should connect.
Since you have a new iMac running Snow Leopard, then all that is left to do is to install the SW. Open the Print & Fax applet under System Preferences and press the [+] button. Highlight your printer and press Add.

Tecra 9100 - Loss of sound after Windows Update.

I have just got hold of a 9100 second hand, and have been re-installing XP Pro. I have been going well, and had all but the SD Card working after downloading all the relevant drivers off Toshiba's site.
Micorsofts update site decided to download new drivers for the Yamaha sound card, and now it says NO Device.
I re-installed the drivers from the toshiba site, but despite everything I do it still shows no device.
Ive tried re-installing the Synth software as well, but this says I need to run the synth re-installer. But there is no directory on the drive for anything Yamaha, and no entry in the add/remove window for yamaha synth or on the start menu.
I am at a loss where to go next, short of starting yet again, and re-installing from the OS up, and thats a good days work.
Does a clean up utility exist so I can just do the sound card part again?
Help Please. :-(

No sound? The only solution I've found is to get a USB headset like the Logitech USB Headset 20. I have had this same problem with my Tecra 9100 for almost 6 months. I tried on a pair of USB Headset and it works! because it bypasses your internal soundcard. The downside is that if you have a great pair of speakers on your laptop, then it's kind of a waste that you can never use it. But at least, with this, you can now listen to CDs and chat on the internet

My Tecra 9100 doesn`t start properly

Hello everyone,
please give me some advise.
Last time i used my tecra 9100 it was working just fine. Then yesterday I turned it on, it seem to boot up properly for the first few seconds (light blinking showing Hard disk is doing something) and then i heard a beep and although power was on, hard disk light went off.
Also during all that time, my screen was completely black as when the laptop is off and didnt change at all.
What is going on? i cant figure out if there is a problem with my screen or the actual hard disk (??)
i of course rebooted and rebooted and no change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Hans,
Do you see the Toshiba 'splash' screen when you first power on your notebook ? If you do then the display is obviously not faulty and the problem will be with your hard drive. If your screen remains blank from the moment that you power on then it is more likely that you display is at fault.
There could, of course also be problems with other components which are causing the symptoms that you describe, such as a failed mainboard.
