Toshiba Satellite S855D-S5148 15.6-Inch not loading anything.

Just got this 4/15/13. Was very happy with it, but the past 2-3 days it started out running very slow, than glacier slow. NOW I can boot up, pull up desktop in Windows 8, but that is it.
Will not load anything, can't run virus scan, look task manager, nothing. It just sits, circling forever. I shut down, and reboot. At one point it was just totally locked up, and I removed the battery and reinstalled. Then go back to cursor circling forever.
Where do I start? Or where do I go from here?

A refresh will restore the system files and most of the registry while leaving all your data files and Metro apps alone. But you will need to reinstall desktop applications.
Settings > Change PC settings > General tab > Refresh your PC without affecting your files
Or..
Settings > Power > Shift + Restart > Troubleshoot > Refresh your PC

HT4623 I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store and Safari keeps crashing

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

Appstore app not loading anything

My Appstore.app is not loading anything - by itself, through Software Update or even when I click a Mac Appstore weblink. Running Mavericks 10.9.2 on late 2011 h/w. Already tried 10.9.2 update and restore from backup - behaviour did not change. When the Appstore app opens, the screen is blank, all tabs (Featured...) give blank pages.

Hello NG2014,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Mac App Store. I recommend the following article for the issue you described (the title of this article references an error that you didn’t mention, but the steps are relevant for the issue you described):

My phone says i am hooked up to wireless. but will not load anything.

Do you have a seperate AP providing your wireless or are you using the wireless built into the AT&T router? If seperate, you will need to re-configure the AP to the new equipment AT&T sent you.

Got a new modem today and now my phones will not load anything. Says i am hooked up to wireless. But cant load games,Facebook and well everything.please help.

My ipad 2 did its own update as normal except this time it will not load anything to do with game center I cant even open that app is there something I can do

my ipad 2 did its own update as usual ( 7.0 to 7.1) except this time it will not load anything to do with game center even its own app............is there anything I can do?

Try closing all of the apps on your iPad and then reset the device.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close every app this way.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Have just loaded Safari 5.1. 4 times. It presents a blank page but will not load anything from the web. What do I have to do to get it to work. It worked fine until the update was offered.

Funny thing, even this page was loaded and then quickly turned blank for me (I'm writing from Chrome).
Hope they fix it soon!

Toshiba Satellite E45t-B4300 built in microphone not working

Greetings,
Today I bought the Toshiba Satellite E45t-B4300. I was trying to use the built in microphone and it is not functioning. The video recorder appears to work fine. After searching around, I decided to download the most recent drivers from toshiba. I uninstalled the old audio device and installed the new drivers. After this process, the microphone still does not function. (Yes, I rebooted, and all standard good practices ) It appears to be listed in the recording devices and enabled. When I try to set it up, it does not detect any audio. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh it also runs Windows 8.1.
Thank you.

These are Toshiba's instructions (last updated July 06 so is the P10 covered?)
How to boot your Toshiba PC from CD-ROM, LAN, or diskette

Document ID: 98080545

Use of any software made available for download from this system constitutes your acceptance of the Export Control Terms and the terms in the Toshiba end-user license agreement both of which you can view before downloading any such software.
Information:
Many Toshiba PCs can boot (start Windows, or another operating system) from devices other than the built-in hard disk (HDD) or built-in diskette drive (FDD). These devices include USB diskette drives, CD-ROM discs, a local area network (LAN), and PC Card (PCMCIA) hard disk drives.
Toshiba PCs that offer alternate boot devices allow you to specify which device to boot from (the 'boot priority') by three methods:
From BIOS Setup (semi-permanent setting)
Boot priority specifies the order in which the computer searches for a bootable operating system. For example, if you set your system to boot from devices in this order: CD-ROM > HDD > LAN, the computer first checks for a bootable CD, then for a bootable HDD, then for a bootable LAN, and loads the operating system from the first one it finds.
Different models offer different options for setting boot priority. For information about how to access the BIOS/CMOS settings on your Toshiba PC, please see the Support Bulletin entitled "How to access the BIOS Settings on your Toshiba Portable PC" that is applicable to your model. By setting the boot priority in this manner, the boot selected priority setting will be retained for all future restarts, until it is changed again.
From the Boot Device Menu (temporary setting)
When the TOSHIBA splash screen is displayed when you first turn on your computer, a boot menu prompt may be displayed for a few seconds near the bottom of the screen, indicating that a key (F2 or F12, for example) can be pressed to display a menu of boot options. The time allowed for detecting the keypress is very brief, so you'll need to be both prepared and quick.
On some models this prompt reads Press F12 for boot menu. On others, it may say Press C to boot from CD-ROM. On still others, there may be a row of colored icons representing the various boot devices (HDD, FDD, CD, LAN, PCMCIA, etc.) Press F12 while these icons are displayed, and then use the arrow keys to move the cursor from one to another. As new models are released, the wording of these prompts may change.
On models that offer a text boot device menu, simply press the key corresponding to the desired boot device from the list of available devices.
The selection of a boot device from any of these boot device menus affects only the current startup operation; the next time the computer is started it will follow the boot priority setting established in BIOS Setup (see the BIOS Setup method, above).
From the Boot Device Hotkeys (temporary setting)
Immediately after pressing the power-on button, press the hotkey for the device from which you wish to boot:
Hotkey Boots from device
C IDE CD-ROM1
F ISA FDD2
U USB FDD3
N internal LAN adapter4
The computer will boot from the selected device if it finds a bootable operating system, otherwise it will search for a bootable device, following the boot priority set in BIOS Setup.
"IDE CD-ROM" refers to the computer's internal CD-ROM drive (built-in, SelectBay, or built-in to a Toshiba docking device).
"ISA FDD" refers to an internal or SelectBay diskette drive, or an external diskette drive that connects to the PC through a special Toshiba-proprietary connector.
Not all models support booting from a USB-connected diskette drive.
Not all models support the hotkey for the internal LAN adapter, even though they may support booting from LAN.
The selection of a boot device from Boot Device Hotkeys affects only the current startup operation; the next time the computer is started it will follow the boot priority setting established in BIOS Setup (see the BIOS Setup method, above).
Notes:
Booting from a CD in a CD-ROM drive requires that the CD be made bootable when it is created ('burned'). Simply copying files to a CD does not make it bootable.
If a "PXE..." error is displayed when you start the computer, it indicates that the computer is attempting to boot from a network (LAN), but is not able to find a remote boot server. If this happens repeatedly, and you are not deliberately trying to boot from a network server, change the boot priority in BIOS Setup to make 'LAN' the last entry in the list of boot devices.

Satellite L655D - user profile service will not load

I have not been able to log in my partner on a new user account, keeps showing the message user profile service will not load -
I have previously tried to use Face Recognition, but was not able to configure this properly, and deleted the account.
The problem of the user accounts has been present since I deleted the Face Recognition account.
Any ideas how I can restore the User Account set up for another person on this computer.

I didn't update my phone 4s or my iPad 3 to iOS 8, so why are they not loading anything and telling me that i need a wi-fi connection even though it's connected

I didn't update my iPhone 4s or my iPad 3 to the iOS 8 and neither one will load anything, the iPad tells me I need a wi-fi connection even though it's connected. Why am I having this trouble? I can't update any apps, load Facebook or safari. Help

Hey ramonafromtuttle,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty with Wi-Fi. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network. Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Toshiba Satellite S855D-S5120 ( No bootable device -- Plese restart system)

Hello
I have recently tried to restore my laptop before selling to a family member & I wanted to restore the laptop back to out of box factory settings & I believe I did exactly what I shouldn't have done & wipped my whole hard dive in the process!
I tried to restore my system by holding the 0 down while powering off
I did so
Now I stuck with this everytime I power on the laptop.
Media (Failed)
Media (Failed)
No bootable device -- Please restart system
I've tried to hold 0 down while starting up but it does nothing
But I can get to the settings by holding f2 while starting up
By all means I am not good at computers...
My main concern is there any way I can bring back anything on my hard drive by using a back up disk or anything?
Or am I stuck with purchasing a new windows?
Could anyone help me out step by step if there is anyway I could recover my hard drive?
Please!
& Thankyou

I've tried to hold 0 down while starting up
Where did you find that? See the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 54 of the User's Guide (link above).
Hard to tell what you've done. Try this. First shut down the computer completely this way. With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the power button for 30 seconds.
Re-attach those. Restart the computer by pressing the power button and immediately start tapping the F12 key until a Boot Menu appears.
If you get that, use the arrow keys to select <HDD Recovery> and press Enter. On the next screen you are asked to confirm if you want to continue with recovery. Select Yes. The computer should bring you to the Advanced startup screen.
Can get there?

Satellite C55-A-1RG (PSCJGE) does not boot anything?

I've just bought this model today and it came win no OS installed and now I'm trying to install something on it so I can use it.
The issue is that it doesn't want to boot anything. I've tried Win7, Windows8 from DVD and USB and also downloaded Ubuntu and that did not worked either.
I did went to BIOS (or EFI I guess it's called now) and changed the boot order to DVD -> USB -> HDD but to no use.
Also secure boot is disabled. I even tried pressing F12 key and when prompted with the boot menu I've selected DVD and same no result. I just get no boot media recognized.
Any idea if there's anything that I can do to use my laptop?
Thanks.

In order to boot using UEFI from the Windows 7 installation media, try this procedure.
-Power on and press F2 while the Toshiba logo is displayed to enter the UEFI Setup Menu.
-Go to the Security tab and set the "Secure Boot" setting to "Disabled".
-Go to the Advanced tab, enter "System Configuration" and set the Boot Mode to "CSM Boot."

Toshiba Satelite A305-S6858 Reboots and could not load Vista Normally but can run Safemode only

Please help me... I love this Toshiba Satelite A305-S6858 and I keep getting this problem. I already tried to disable legacy support and the memory test says 4GB is working fine. Please help me.

Satellite A305-S6858
Let's start here.
Boot into Safe Mode and open System Properties (sysdm.cpl). On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button at the bottom (under Startup and Recovery).
What is the state of the Automatically restart check box? If it's checked, clear it.
What is the state of the two fields at the bottom? Set things for a mini-dump as shown below.
Does that give you a blue screen when you boot normally?
