Toshiba laptop
Besides my complaint, here's a query. A friend of mine purchased a Toshiba laptop from Toshiba and its battery life is close to 2 hours. I purchased mine from Best buy and my battery life prior issues was close to 45 minutes fully charged. Why would this be?

hi justine.
what Lex was referring to was more of wired versus wireless connection; you two could both me using the same source, but using the wireless adapter will drain the battery faster.
purchasing from toshiba direct more than likely allowed your friend to be able to upgrade to a larger battery (regardless of whether or not they actually selected it). with best buy, the models that you see aren't able to be customized with different batteries or memory configurations in-store.
but, as lex mentioned, different laptop configurations will have varying battery life results. things like processing power, integrated versus discrete graphics, and how large of a battery all contribute to total battery life resuls.

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!
Go to Solution.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.

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.
View Solution.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!

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). 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.
== This happened ==
A few times a week

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 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.

we transferred purchases and synced from a iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, after it updated and synced again we have been unable to put the files back onto the ipod. the computer will not let us drag or copy paste files, and when we tried to " export" the library to the documents folder, it only showed up in code. we have books and music we would like to reload to the ipod.
Hello Jean164,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to manually put your content back on your iPod Touch.
It seems like you may need to re enable Manually Manage Music now that the device has been updated, and this article should help with that.

While trying to download the latest Apple Itunes update to my Toshiba laptop I got the following
message: APSDaemon.exe system error.
I uninstalled Itunes and tried again, but got the same message.
Help, pleaseGo to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

How to connect a HP LaserJet Printer P1102w to my Toshiba Laptop
I have just bought a LaserJet P1102w printer, but i cant seem to install it on my Toshiba laptop (or a HP laptop). I have tried the instruction that came with the product, the disc, the HP website, HP help support in Sydney (Who couldnt even install it when he logged into my computer). I have tried 2 different cables. but as soon as it get to the bit saying "waiting for you to connect the device", thats where it stops. (on both computers). The guy at HP told me to take the printer back and get another one as it might be a hardware problem. But this new one still does the same. I have however been able to print a test page by holding down the X button. I am starting to get really frustrated now. Could anyone help me ?? Thanks
Thanks for the reply . I have been only plugging in the cable when asked for and not at the beginning. However just tried again (for the millionth time lol) and still not happening

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!
Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck… -
Making a Windows 7 Toshiba laptop a dual boot system (w/ XP)
I am looking to probably get a Toshiba laptop here in the next month. Most likely it will be one that will include WIndows 7. While I have another desktop with Windows 7 installed on it and like it for the most part, there are a few pieces of hardware I have that aren't running correctly right now under W7 due to drivers not being availble for it. Therefore, I made this custom desktop a dual boot system with XP & W7 on it.This way I have XP on it for when I might have to use these pieces of hardware.
I would like to possibly do the same thing for this new Toshiba laptop as well. Have XP on it in case I need it for incompatible hardware & compatibility issues that may arise. Can I easily put XP on a Toshiba laptop with W7 already installed? I would have to create a separate partition to possibly put XP on as this is the way I prefer to have it when making a dual boot system. However, I have several concerns if trying to do this. They include the following:
If I create/add another hard drive partition for XP, will I essentially make the recovery partition/software useless?
When I have made dual boot systems in the past, I usually have to start with the older OS. Then add the newer OS and it will do it automatically. Take care of everything for the dual boot menu. I have experienced problems when going backwards (like this) though. Will that happen as well & I'll then have problems getting back into W7?
If this is the case for both, do most Toshiba Laptops come with recovery software on CDs? This way I can maybe wipe the drive out, install XP and then install W7 (w/ the CDs) in order to make a correct dual boot system. Or does the recovery software/CDs need to be speically ordered directly from Toshiba & that is generally why they just put it on a recovery partition instead?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Wise of you to investigate in advance.
Your best bet by far nowadays is to get a laptop with hardware virtualization and either the Professional or Ultimate versions of Windows 7 installed. That way, you can use XP Mode.
Windows XP Mode (Toshiba)
Windows XP Mode (Microsoft)
You can even open an XP program directly from a shortcut in Windows 7.
For current models suitable to run XP Mode, I suggest you call ToshibaDirect at 888-520-3926.
