Toshiba Satellite R15 - Help! Pen calibration goes crazy after hibernating and resuming the PC.

I have a Toshiba Satellite R15 laptop that I got off of ebay. This laptop is the kind with a flip-around screen so that you can use it in pen/tablet/stylus mode. When I got it, I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP SP3 on it, and installed all the necessary drivers from the Toshiba web site. Also I made sure to get the latest Wacom pen driver from the Wacom web site. Also, I got all the windows updates.
I can normally calibrate the display and the pen just fine using the Wacom tool in the windows control panel. I have the computer configured so that, when I flip the screen into tablet mode, the screen goes into a portrait-aspect configuration (tall instead of wide). This works fine and I can also calibrate the screen fine in this mode.
But if I hibernate and resume the machine (in "tablet" mode with the screen flipped around), after resume, everything has gone wonky with the pen. First of all, the pen moves as if the machine were in landscape mode still: An X motion of the pen produces a Y motion of the cursor, for example. If, then, I flip the screen back to regular-laptop mode, the X/Y direction is correct again, but, the calibration is way off, the cursor is two inches to the right of the pen. If I try to calibrate again when it's in this state, the pen is still off by two inches.
I did a google search, but, the only results I see are for people encountering this problem under Linux. I don't see any solutions for Windows XP users.
I emailed Wacom and they said to ask Toshiba. I can't email toshiba (no support email in their contact page), so I'm asking here. Can anyone help?

I ended up fixing this, by formatting the computer from scratch and installing Windows 7 instead of Windows XP. :-)
This works but there is a limitation: There are no updated Win7 video drivers from Intel for the Toshiba Sattellite R15. So you have to hack the XP drivers to work. Here are the instructions on how to hack the XP drivers to work on the Toshiba Satellite R15 running Windows 7:

But after that, everything is fine on the tablet.

POWER MAC GOES CRAZY ON FONTS AND CRASHED THE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE

I was working on my mac, and my illustrator program crashed. When i relaunched my finder, the entire desktop
was changed with a garamon font and my dock was missing.
Each time I opened a app it crashed automaticly. I had no more drop down menus in my tool bar the whole computer was crazy.
So I decided to reinstal my Mac OS X instal discs.
The problem is, It's panter not Tiger. Anyways...I have Panter on my machine now which seems to work fine but I can't open Safari anymore. I bounces in my dock once and that's it it doesn't even open. Do you know why my computer went Crazy and how can I solve my safari problem.
P.S. I might find some other problems but I haven,t opened all my apps yet.

Christian, it sounds like an incompatible font. Also, please refrain from posting in all upper case letters since it is like yelling and considered rude on the internet. Thanks.

For outlook or hotmail emails they use a pop server technology that you can't sync your computer and your iPhone with. You have to unfortunately delete the emails from both devices. It is super frustrating but that is the only way.
Hope this helps.

WRT54G3G: Going crazy after a day

Hello,
my WRT54G3G is going crazy after about a day. Ping times to it vary from 1ms to 30s with lots of packet losses. With kismet and wireshark I found that the device invents clients (only Cisco clients! ) and sends them "IEEE 802.11 Null function (No data)" frames. What's going on?
IEEE 802.11 Null function (No data), Flags: ....R.FT I could provide the wireshark dump, if needed.
Thanks,

Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...It should resolve the problem.

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

iPhones do not have an international warranty. Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase. This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models. Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

you can't add or mofidy partition numbers. especially not if and once you have windows installed.
boot from Windows 7 DVD afterwards
but first you have to tell us and Christopher what and how you partitioned your system.
Successful setup of OS X Lion + Data Partition + Bootcamp Win7 Ult
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3293948
So after many, many hours I think I've finally figured out how to successfully setup Mac OS X Lion on one partition, a seperate data partition, and Windows 7 Ultimate on a Bootcamp partition . Here is a screenshot of my setup on my 13" MacBook Pro
Thread with suggestions on Windows backup methods:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3798090
Paragon CampTune
Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.
Securing Dual-System Configuration
Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
GParted Live
GParted Live is similar to CampTune as it is also distributed as a bootable image that needs to be copied to a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. As free and open source software, distributed under the GPL, it will always be available free. Since it has more functions than CampTune, it may be harder for folks who are not as experienced with partitioning hard drives. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
iPartition
Coriolis Systems' iPartition is a £29.95 ($44.95 US) utility that runs in Mac OS X and allows resizing of all of the relevant partition formats, including HFS+, FAT32, and NTFS. It provides a Mac-oriented user interface that may be easier to manage than some of the free utilities. As it is not capable of resizing the boot disk, it requires a bootable external disk or a boot DVD. (A tool to create a boot DVD is included.)
Paragon Partition Manager
From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
Winclone/Disk Utility
Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
The full process would be:
Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
(if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
Delete old Windows partition
Resize current Mac Partition
Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
(If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section
Native OS utilities
MR user Kazyua reports that you can use the disk management utilities provided with the current operating systems if you want to do it manually. Windows 7 and OS X both have partition resizing functions built in. In OS X, open Disk Utility and manually shrink the mac HFS+ partition by dragging the lower right corner. Then in windows go to the start menu and type "disk management" into the search box then hit enter. You should get an overview of the drives you have and the individual partitions. Right-clicking on the partition gives an "Extend Volume" option. The Windows NTFS volume should then be extended into the free space you created with Disk Utility. This method has not worked for other users, so try at your own risk.

Toshiba satellite l305 HELP!!!!

Well I've had a toshiba satellite l305 and for some reason, the USB and disc tray only work every now and then. If I try to open the disc tray it just flashes an orange light, and the USB ports 70% of the time just don't work, like they're not there. I'll plug in a USB, the actual thing will let me know it's plugged into something (for example I'll plug in my Zune and it'll light up and charge) but the laptop wont recognize that it's there. No noise, and it's wont connect....any help?
the USB one is more important to me then the disc one btw.

First off we need to know the complete model number. There are a lot of different L305 models.
In the meantime have you checked the Download Site to see if there are any Service Bulletins for your model, updated drivers, or bios files that need to be installed?
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Help I'm Going Crazy

I recently purchased a G4 Titanium 1ghz with 1gb ram and all the other standard options. I was working fine, but the person I purchased it off of installed it with using the Spanish language. I decided to wipe the hard drive and put a fresh install on. After booting from the DVD with the original disc. I was able to erase the drive and create a new partition using the disk utility. What happens next is what has me perplexed. It boots to where it asked for the language, I select English. The I small window pops up with the various icons then disappears and a drop down window appears with the error saying This software cannot be installed on this system. That's as far as it ever gets. I was able to copy an image to the hard drive and when I try to install from that image I get the same exact error. Any one have any suggestions.

The disks I have a supposed to be the original disks they say G4 Powerbook. Is the an actual command for formatting the hard drive? I a have erased and partitioned, but nothing that actually said format. I have it set for MacOS extended journaled. I even tried is just MacOS extended. I'm not sure what is going on.

Toshiba-Satellite Laptop Model C655-55225 stopped working after 90 days

I purchased a Toshiba - Satellite Laptop on 9/30/2011, it completely stopped working on 1/5/12. The laptop was not even used until 12/25/11, as it was a Christmas present for my husband. I called Customer Service at Best Buy because Toshiba Customer Service has been of no help, only to be told to call Toshiba. When I called Toshiba the first time they had us run some diagnostics on the laptop, which did not help at all. The computer will not even power up. Please keep in mind this laptop was gently used and well taken care of for the two weeks it was in use. There were no bumps, drops, virus or spills. I have spent a small fortune on products at Best Buy this holiday season and this is how they treat their customers? They offered no suggestions or help at all with a product they sold or offered to intercede with Toshiba. I can tell you with all certainty I will never buy another Toshiba product nor darken a BestBuy entryway. The customer service is equally awful with both companies.

Did they give you any other reason why they wouldn't send it out? It is a pretty common procedure to send it out under manufacturers warranty and I am surprised they would shoot you down. Did you talk to geeksquad or just customer service?

MS Word spellcheck goes crazy after export from Pages

I exported two long documents (250 pages each) from Pages 5.0 to Word (.docx) format. When I open the documents in Word for Mac 2011 everything seems fine – until the spellcheck runs. It comes up with hundreds of false positives.
For instance, the following words are all marked as misspelled: if, understanding, wasn't, isn't, student, – and so on and so on, throughout the whole document. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Previous to export I had checked spelling in Pages. So there shouldn't have been any misspelled words at all, let alone all these crazy false positives.
Has anybody experienced this? Has anyone got any advice on how to fix this? I know I can just turn off spellchecking in the Word documents, but I'd like to keep it on.
I'm running OS X Mavericks (10.9) on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
Thanks.

I know what you mean, fruhulda. But MS Word is working just fine with all my other documents that weren't exported from Pages.
It makes me wonder if there is something underying the text when the files are exported, something that is throwing off the MS Word spell checker.
My next test will be to export to text then open in Word. (My documents have very little formatting.) If spellcheck works fine then, I'm forced to wonder whether something about the export process from Pages to Word is problemmatic, or at least problemmatic for Word. But exporting to Word is the whole point, so there shoulnd't be these issues.
In other words, how can you have a feature that claims to export to Word that can't handle something as basic as spell check?
My documents (books) ultimately need to reside in Word so the publisher can work with them. I like working in Pages. It feels cleaner than Word. So I work in Pages and then export. But with this problem I'm seriously considering whether I shouldn't just write in Word from the start and avoid the problems that can come with exports. Somehow I feel like there are bound to be more.

Time Machine going crazy after restore of a volume - UUIDs keep mismatching

HELP!
Background:
I have a MacPro (2006) with SnowLeopard.
I use TM to backup most of the files from the system volume and 2 more disks called Enterprise1, 2 and 3 (yessss, I love StarTrek ).
I have lots of data (pics, movies) spread out over these 3 disks (1 TB rough estimate).
For TM I use a FireWire connected external "WD my book studio II" with 4TB. It has 2 years of history and is half used half free now.
Problem:
A few days ago one of my data disks crashed and I had to replace it with a new one. I installed the new disk and -maybe naive- named it like the crashed one.
I successfully restored all data from TimeMachine to the new disk (TANK YOU APPLE).
After that TM started to re-backup 360GB. Initially I was confused and cancelled the backup. I went to the Internet and found this to be the normal (but silly!) behavior. So I resumed TM backup. But now it wanted to backup more than 700 GB....?!?!
I cancelled again, went to the Internet again, found lots of issues but no clear explanation, and so I decided to suffer through the pain and let things go their way.
However, after the 700GB backup was done, it started another 360GB backup and after that one was done it continued with yet another 360GB backup....
I installed the TM widget and found messages
"Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Enterprise1"
"Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Enterprise2"
on all the events later than the restore. The strange thing is that I replaced only the volume Enterprise3. I did not touch Enterprise1 and Enterprise2.
I did a TM reset as described in the trouble shooting guides, but without any success.
How can I find out more about these UUIDs?
Why could the ones that I didn't touch start to mismatch?
Why does the mismatch not go away after successful(?) backup?
Any help is highly appreciated (I really want to keep my backup history. It has been a extremely helpful quite a few times in the past)....

Hm... Many people read my post, but nobody came up with any suggestions so far
So I decided to fully erase my time machine drive by re-formatting it. I also did the full time machine reset (as described in the trouble shooting topic) and I re-started time machine.
The first run went as expected: Full backup of everything I didn't exclude:

Of course I canceled the last one because there in no use to continue: Fully erasing the time machine volume and doing a full reset obviously didn't fix the problem.
Any idea what could be the cause of this situation or what should be the next thing to try???

Satellite M30-801 - display will not work after hibernation

Hello everybody,
I hope you will help me with this issue. I have a Toshiba Satellite M30-801 and my warranty has finished.
A few days ago, my computer had stayed some hours in standby mode. When I restarted the system, the screen continued on black. No images.
I connected an external monitor to check the video card and that test was ok. Now I'm writing this letters using my laptop connected to the external monitor.
Also, i noticed that there was blacklight on the screen.
I had checked the power management for the universal serial bus controllers on the control panel.
I downloaded and installed the last bios update.
But the display is still black.
Could you help me? any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Stalker99ES

Hello Sascha,
++When you start your notebook without external monitor can you see anything?+
