Toshiba laptop question

Last year I bought a new Toshiba Qosmio x875-Q7290 that gave me daily blue screen problems from day 1. I posted my issues here and could not find a solution. Best Buy( where I bought the computer and extended warranty) were completely useless in resolving my issue, that kept my computer several times, for weeks on end only to restore the computer to factory setting. Finally I took my laptop to a computer repair store near my home and they said I had problems with my C drive and that one of my memory sticks was bad. I Havent had a single BSOD since then. However since they installed a new hard drive I can no longer control my vlume via the keyboard, and how can I get the automatic toshiba updates for my computer now, and what if I have to resore my computer to factory settings sometime in the future. will the original recovery discs (4) still work? So, I need to know how to het all my recommended uodates and drivers and info on doing a system restore to factort settings (if an emergency happens)
Thankd

Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
The original recovery discs should work just fine. If not, you can obtain them from Toshiba at Get Recovery Media here.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 68 of the User's Guide.

Toshiba Laptop Battery Question

I found a laptop battery called AGPtek - Laptop Battery for TOSHIBA C600D L750 L700 PA3816U-1BRS - Black - Black
Can anyone please tell me if it's compatible with my Toshiba Laptop? It's a Satellite C675D-S7101, which uses a PA3817U-1BRS Battery.

While I don't know if it would work with your computer or not I would strongly research the risks of buying third party batteries from brand names that are not widely known. Your laptop could have permanent damage to it if the battery is not the right voltage or something else funky goes on where a battery is not properly forumlated inside.
Currently one of the more reliable battery vendors that are on the market is Lenmar they have good warranties on their batteries.

My toshiba laptop won't connect to my HP Envy 4500 printer

I have recently attempted connecting my Toshiba laptop, which runs Windows 8, wirelessly to my HP Envy 4500 printer. I'm trying to scan something onto my laptop, which I have done with the printer before. I have the remote app, and I have connected to the printer's wireless network that pops up in the wifi section of my computer. However, when attempting to get the printer to scan, using the option on the printer's screen, it said that no device was connected, and to make sure the software was installed and that scan to pc was enabled. I opened the app on my laptop, hoping to get better results using it that was, but it told me that the printer was offline, though it was clearly on. I am not entirely sure why the printer is not recognizing my laptop, even though my laptop recognizes it. I spent nearly two hours disconnecting and reconnecting, as well as turning the printer off about three times. I am about to uninstall the app and try reinstalling it, but I am doubting the results will be any better.
I see no other way to fix this problem, as there is no USB port in which to connect a USB cable, like myprevious printer, and am wondering if it is my latop, not the printer, that is faulty. It works for printing when it comes to the other devices in my household, but I have had problems even printing with my Toshiba before. I have only attempted scanning with one other device: a HP Pavillion Media Center TV PC desktop. I am starting to think that the scanner is defaulting to only reognizing other HP products, and request any and all advice in fixing this issue.
This question was solved.

Hi AMakkei,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 4500 to your Windows 8 laptop, and I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know following information:
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try going through this guide. A 'Computer Not Found' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you, and have a good day!

I own toshiba laptops. Both computers have the latest itunes software. However the 'show menu' does not appear on the screen?

Thanks for the response diesel. I dont think I clarified my question very well. I'm trying to do home sharing between mine and my wifes computers. The intructions say:
Log in as the same user on each computer.
Ensure both are current version.
Choose the correct list in sharing ie Music
Then in the 'show menu' at the bottom of the screen, choose items not in my library.
I do not have the show menu to select any songs.
Any help appreciated.

Uninstalling Toshiba Laptop Checkup & Security Dashboard?

Hello,
I have a new Satellite S855-S5268 and I'm uninstalling Norton so that I can install my AV of choice (Kaspersky Internet Security)
On the official Kaspersky forum and help files, it says that you have to uninstall Norton thoroughly in order for Kaspersky to work properly ("Norton remnants are often a source of problems when installing Kaspersky").
Four programs by Norton/Symantec came pre-installed with my computer:
* Norton Internet Security (I have already uninstalled this)
* Norton Anti-Theft (same)
* Toshiba Security Dashboard
* Toshiba Laptop Checkup
It's the last two that I have questions about. In Programs and Features, it shows that those two are NOT by Toshiba Corporation, but, rather, from Symantec Corporation. In fact, when I click on the Security Dashboard icon on my taskbar, what it does is it shows me a summary of the Norton products on my machine.
When I run a Get System Info report (GSI is a run-on-demand Kasperky tool) after having uninstalled NIS and Norton Anti-Theft, it still lists Toshiba Laptop Checkup and Toshiba Security Dashboard as "Possibly Incompatible Software" (NIS 2012 and Norton Anti-Theft were also listed here before I uninstalled them). See attached screencap
Can I uninstall Toshiba Laptop Checkup and Toshiba Security Dashboard and my computer will still work properly?
Thanks in advance!

Toshiba Laptop - Need Further Help

So, after much troubles and going to the apple store to get them to restore my video ipod (it wouldn't do it for me)...we've tried everything to get it to sync to my itunes on my toshiba satellite laptop. it finally after about 45 minutes started downloading songs from my itunes but stopped midway to only give me an error and stop. we have followed MANY of the support articles including this one:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836
but it's not helping. plugged it in to my brothers Dell XPS desktop and not only connected but downloaded like MAD! So, is there something I can do with my laptop to make this work? I hate to think that in order to get my favorite tv shows, songs, etc...I have to network to his computer and do it that way. Makes $400 seem like a complete waste. Tell me it isn't so! If you have a Toshiba (which appears to be a known problem - lucky me) then PLEASE respond if you've figured out how I can fix. If it means upgrading and doing whatever to the laptop I will!!!

I've been having similar issues on my Toshiba... I found that the best thing to do is disable the high speed USB interface (sounds like you've already done that if you followed the instructions in "iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop") and then restore the iPod with the latest updater. After that, I found that if I disconnect the iPod, and re-enable the high speed USB and restart the computer, I can connect my iPod and iTunes sees it and syncs it without any issues. It just takes iTunes a while to open up when the iPod is connected. It sounds like the issue with Toshiba laptops varies from computer to computer, you may need to play around with your settings until you find out what works best for you.
I'm still working that out for myself
But feel free to let me know if you have any more problems or questions. Whatever it is, I'm sure I've been there.
best wishes

Xtreme Audio Notebook - Toshiba Laptop

&Xtreme Audio Notebook - Toshiba Laptop? Here is my request for help :-)
I am running Vista Home sp2
I am using this CL sound card for some minor audio for band functions (where my midi keyboard doesnt cut it).
In Sonar - the software will NOT see this device as an ASIO device. If I run Asio4all, it will but thats very limited.
This whole process started by me trying to get less latency out of the laptop for a midi function and within Sonar - its only recognizing the device as an MME device. While that is "ok" its far from optimal, and if I put any kind of a load on it the latency grows to the absurd side.
My first question - am I mistaken or is this device supposed to suport ASIO mode?
Next - if it is - how can I find out why its not working as expected? I am not looking for folks to do the work for me, just hoping someone may have seen this in the past and had any suggestions
I have used the latest drivers I could find from the CL support site to replace the default windows vista drivers, and I have tweaked all the settings I can find, but still having some large latency issues and using MME is certainly not helping.
Any thoughts or pointss are certainly appreciated!

Please disregard and close/archi've this thread.
I missed the part about the Xtreme Audio Notebook NOT having asio drivers.
I purchased a new X-Fi surround and while I am having some smaller issues, I am certainly seeing a marked improvement.

Hey i dont have a mobile phone i have toshiba "laptop" to say this way and i cannot install firefox becuase this laptop runs android and cannot install linux version...can u help me?Also i cant install adobe flash player...Any advices??

Hey I have a toshiba laptop and I cannot install firefox because the laptop runs android and there's only version for linux...and if u can tell me how to install adobe flash player too...Any advices??

This is a known problem, but we don't have a solution for it. If your device has the Toshiba Market app, you might be able to download a (possibly outdated) version of Firefox from there.

Toshiba laptop (C55-B5302) has "network cable unplugged" error message repeatedly. Why?

I recent purchased Toshiba Laptop running Windows 8.1 at local Best buy. The models number is C55-B5302.
When connected via ethernet cable, I keep seeing an error message in network adapter settings saying "network cable unplugged".
However, this "unplugged" message switches back and forth repeadedly from "connected" when I am not doing anything to the cable.
My internet is very sporadic because of this. I replaced the cable but still same error.
Any idea on how I can resolve the issue?
Please help. Thanks.
Solved!

Try downloading and installing the latest LAN driver:
RealTek LAN Driver File: tc40213700b.exe DOWNLOAD Version: 8.024.1218.2013 Posted Date: 2014-03-13
If that doesn't fix it, it could be faulty. You might want to exchange it.

I am trying to download icloud control panel via icloudsetup.exe to windows Toshiba laptop and get a message" \icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Can anyone help? I am new to Apple stuff.

Need help for icloud photo stream, have activated ps on iphone 4 and set up icloud back up for email, contacts, iwork, and find my ihone. Need to find photos that we thought were being saved/shared as well but evidently not. Found on another search that I may need the icloud control panel so tried to download it but when try to install i get, C:\Users\Downloads\icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I am using a Toshiba laptop with windows 7, which the system requirements are met. I am new to Apple stuff, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

It suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

I just had to have my toshiba laptop hard drive replaced and I am unable to move my itunes library from my ipad back to the laptop. It says it is linked to another library and I can only transfer purchased music etc and not the rest of the library.Help!

I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost. I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so. The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else. Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

My iPad doesn't connect to my home WiFi; but my Toshiba Laptop does?

can any one help with my WiFi problem. My iPad doesn't connect to my home WiFi; but my Toshiba Laptop does? and my iPad works in other places but not at home????

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Persistent blue screen of death problems on Toshiba laptop pc; need help

hey, guys,
I was hoping you could help me out here. I have been experiencing persistent blue screen of death problems on my Toshiba laptop since December 21 of 2014. The first two times I started having theses persistent issues, I downloaded a bunch of redundant programs and games onto my computer, some of which were virus infected. I had these programs on my computer for a while before my laptop was taken in for repairs. I eventually uninstalled some unnecesssary programs from my pc, hoping it would have fixed these issues, even tried windows update. I didn't have a clue that my problems were due to virus infections/malware until the two most recent times my computer was taken in for repairs; I had always been thinking it was a defective driver. My laptop has already been in for repairs at least twice due to these perpetual BSOD problems; I had Norton Internet Security installed on my pc before the Geek Squad team (who repaired my computer and found 312 traces of malware in my system during the virus test; I was told by them that I had mistakenly downloaded infected web browsers onto my pc) switched me to Webroot SecureAnywhere (they said it was better at detecting viruses/malware than my NIS), but even after my pc has been through repairs twice in a row, I am still experiencing blue screens (this only seems to have happened once each week, and on one occasion, I went through almost two weeks without it occurring). I am pretty sure, that I haven't downloaded anything onto my computer infected with viruses/malware (each of the scans done by my Webroot antivirus have found nothing), I have only a few games/apps installed on my pc, and what I downloaded all came from Microsoft's official website. I can't afford to be wasting any more money on repairs, and I am desperately searching for any possible way to fix this myself. Any help would be appreciated. I have a copy of two of the memory dumps from my most recent crashes (I also have the dump reports from my most recent crashes dating back to March 6; I got these from an app from NirSort called Blue Screen View, if you need those) I also have my system specs:
http://1drv.ms/1I6AsaE
http://1drv.ms/1Qdsb7T
Note that many of these earler dump reports (the ones from March) came from viruses. The ones from most recently as last month, I am not sure about.

Thrashing about this way gets us nowhere.
Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents.
Settings > Change PC settings > Update and recovery tab > Recovery tab > Remove everything and reinstall Windows
Use the freshly restored machine for a day or so before any installations of hardware, software, or updates of any kind. If you get no crashes, the problem is not likely due to hardware.
Then add updates and other things slowly, keeping track of them. If you get crashes after that, give us the corresponding dmp files.
