Touchscreen works differently upon restart

I have a Toshiba all in one computer. When I restart my computer sometimes the touchscreen works on the left side, sometimes the right side, sometimes it doesn't work on either, and sometimes it works on both. I recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 and I have had this problem on both systems with this computer. I will give information below please let me know if you require more info to answer my question.

I tend to agree with Peter that it is a hardware issue.
To confirm, you could restore the computer to it's out-of-box state and if it is still behaving the same then it is almost certainly a hardware issue. If not, then it is likely some software conflict or the like.

Mac randomly crashes, screen turns green and white, and it works fine upon restart. What causes this and how can I fix it?

My MacBook Pro 13 inch (I've had it for about a year and a half) has started crashing randomly. It happens about once a week and it will happen when I'm in the middle of either watching a video, typing a paper, playing a game, etc. The computer clicks loudly and the screen becomes a series of green and white lines. It works fine upon restart, but it's still annoying whenever it happens. What causes this? Is it fixable?

The image suggests an issue with the graphics board.
The issue may happen more when your machine is generating additional heat, as when you're watching or processing video, or gaming. I can't say for certain, of course, but certain things will reduce the chance of the problem recurring:
1. Keep your machine as cool as possible. When there's additional heat, turn up the fan, or use an app like HD Fan Control to reduce the heat. Use your computer the way you see fit, but be conscious of heat.
2. Back up on a regular basis. Logic board problems can lead to more serious issues down the line, so backing up is a good way of safeguarding your data.
3. Look up "Logic Board Woes" on Google for a comprehensive discussion of the issue.

Update to Firefox 4 has frozen. Computer still indicates CPU and memory usuage but it never finishes. Previous Firefox no longer works. Upon restart and clicking Firefox, updater just goes into same frozen state. Updater appears to be defective.

CPU usuage is at 13%, memory for Firefox updater is 28,348K. Have tried shutting down and restarting. Everything looks normal except that the start menu shows Firefox twice. At this point there is no CPU usuage and Firefox is not running. Clicking on Firefox seems to start up the updater (same CPU and memory as during original update), but there is no window. Only taskmanager indicates anything is running. The other Firefox icon in the start menu has no effect other than to list Firefox twice in the taskmanager, but the new one has no CPU or memory.

Ive downgraded from FF4 to 3.6 at this point. The CPU usage is out of control on OS X.

Interclue fails to initalise upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time.

Interclue fails to initialize upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time. What would cause this situation. Never had problems with this add-on with Firefox until I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I can disable, re-start, enable,re-start, and it works fine. The same scenario holds true if I uninstall and then re-install add-on.

Just a guess, but I wonder if you have some application or process hanging up that's stopping it from shutting down? You might try closing each application individually and see if this helps.
Good luck!

Prompted to install Yahoo Messenger upon restart even though already installed

I have Yahoo Messenger (3.0.1 beta) installed on my MacBook Air (Lion OS X 10.7.2). It is working fine, however every time I restart my computer and access the Flash Drive (Go - Computer) or the Applications Folder (Go - Applications) I'm prompted to install Yahoo again. I get a Yahoo Messenger installation dialog box asking me to install it. The only way to get rid of this dialog box is to accept the Yahoo agreement and go to the next step for installation - dragging the Yahoo icon into the applications folder. At this stage I can either drag the icon and replace the current one, or just close the drag dialog window. Either way my Yahoo Messenger works fine. If I click the "decline" button the installation dialog box just reappears until I click the "accept" button.
I like to have Yahoo Messenger installed because it allows me to chat with 2 different Yahoo ID's simultaneously - one in iChat and one in Yahoo Messenger.
I contacted Yahoo, but was give this info:
"As of November 15, 2011 Yahoo! Customer Care will no longer provide agent support for Yahoo! Messenger for Mac. If you continue to use this product and have questions or concerns about it, please use the self-service help pages".
This is a brand new computer (and my very first Mac) and Yahoo Messenger was the very first program I installed. Despite the annoyance upon restart I can use both programs (iChat and Yahoo Messenger) together without problems.
I have tried removing all traces of the Yahoo Messenger program using "Appcleaner" and downloaded it again and reinstalled it from scratch, but to no avail.
I would really appreciate some help with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Ok so the Internal "Drive" on your Mac is a Solid State one ?
You say you put an Shortcut/Alias of it on the Desktop.
Was this by going to the Finder's Own Menu > Preferences > General section and ticking the Box to Show Hard Drives/Disks ?
If I "Open" (double Click) an .dmg to Install something I get an icon on the Desktop that looks like Drive icon (Similar to the USB stick ones) AND I get the item listed as a "Device" (in this case GoogleEarth)
I tend to Drag these to the trash when Finished with them as it "Unmounts"/"ejects" the item. (I used the quotes to show it is a similar action to removing a USB Drive - obviously a CD or DVD would also pop out of the Optical Drive)
Based on the way you describe using the Finder > Go Menu > Computer It get this view
As I Unmount mine I can't really say what happens if I shut the computer down.
As technically it is a Window (the OS sees icons on the Desktop as windows) then I can imagine Lion is Opening it up again if it was there at Shutdown. (See Message at Shutdown about restating open Windows on next boot and also the System Preferences > General Section).
I will try shutting down and will post after I have done that

How do I get windows to stay open upon restart?

I keep my desktop very orgainized. I want my 2 windows to stay open at all times - my HD and my General folder. All files are in one of these and I have thousands of files (graphic designer). The box is checked to reopen all windows upon restart but they never do. And when I double click the HD icon I have to resize it and put it where I want it on the desktop and then I open my General folder and resize and reposition that. I want them to stay as I set them up, like they always did in 10.8. Any help??

You posted to the older PPC macs that were built before 2006.
You could write an applescript app and put it in your login items.
tell application "Finder"
        open folder "Applications" of startup disk
        select Finder window 1
        set bounds of Finder window 1 to {-3, 44, 691, 545}
        --set position of Finder window 1 to {33, 44}
        set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
        activate
end tell

The first thing that you need to do is to make the text into an AppleScript program.
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.<br><br>
To debug, run the script within the Applescript Editor. Click on the event log tab at the bottom of the window. Click on the run icon. The results from the log statement will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

Will the Display Menu app hold mirrored settings upon restart?

I work at a College and manage over 100 classroom computers. In each classroom the computer is connected to a projector. When we moved to Mavericks we lost the majority of display resolutions formerly available to us and unfortunately, none of the remaining resolutions match the native resolution of our projectors. We primarily set up our computers and projectors in mirrored mode.
I've been testing a couple apps that help uncover the hidden resolutions. These are: Display Menu, Display Maestro and Switch ResX. All the apps give me the resolution variety I've been looking for but only Switch ResX holds the settings I choose upon restarting the machine. Display Menu and Display Maestro are much cheaper so, I was hoping to use those if possible. Does anyone know how to get either to hold their settings upon restarting? Does anyone recommend Switch ResX ? Any other display apps I should try?
Thank you.

Try rebooting the STB and then change the clock setting and change it back. That worked for me when i had this issue. I have seen this reported a couple of times and most of the time if this fix didnt work, the issue resolved itself within a couple of days.
Also, it should be noted that with the 1.7IMG release they changed the way the front display functioned. It now changes to show the channel number at every program change and then reverts back to showing the clock after about 2 minutes.

Iphone 4s touchscreen stops responding after a minute or so, I then have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen works again but soon after it stops responding. I have tried hard reset, turning it off over night, etc

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

My apple TV stalls daily while streaming, works fine after restart.

"unable to access itunes" or "netflix" or whatever. It's connected via etherent as well, and has the latest software. Always works great if I restart, but seems like I shouldn't have to do this every day. any recommendations?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Upon restart system folder can not be found

No problems with machine since last Oct. when I had to replace a stick of ram.
Run down of what has been happening now:
Last week - machine was up and running. Went to start Mail (had it open earlier in day) and got spinning ball of death. Could not force quit. Upon restart system folder could not be found. Restarted again, started up fine.
Yesterday - went to log on in log in screen and once again spinning ball. Upon restart could not find system folder. This time had to restart 4 times and after cutting power and restarting then system folder was found.
I have repaired premissions, verified disk (ok), ran scripts, made sure software was updated, made sure right startup disk was selected. Found 1 bad font, removed this, re-ran everything, rechecked fonts. CS3/safari/mail seem to be running fine. Although I have not done a lot with them as I'm slow with work this week. Hard drive does not sound like it's making any extra noise. Thought this problem might be fixed. As machine was fine this a.m. shut down machine about an hour ago thinking I wasn't going to use for a day, remembered I had to do something and upon restart again, no system folder. Had to cut power again and then starts up. What could be going on?
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Disk utility shows disk being verified & ok.
One thing I didn't think of was resetting the PRAM.... which I found this advice under: Recent User Contributed Tips: a brody - Myths of required versus not required maintenance for Mac OS X (Oct 30, 2008)
3. Repairing the directory. Partially false. Only required if your data is backed up, and access to your files suddenly is limited even after Spotlight indexing is complete. More true if you get a flashing ? disk, though zapping the PRAM sometimes fixes this issue as well.
after doing this so far no problems.

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

Touchscreen Works, Monitor Doesn't

I have a Sattilite L15W-B1302. Running Windows 8.1.
At first, I thought my issue was the computer was not leaving sleep mode. In fact, many people with the same laptop seem to think this is happening. The computer turns on, but the screen does literally nothing.
However, on a hunch I hooked in my HDMI cord, and lo and behold, the computer is actually on! Not only that, but when I touch the (completely black) touchscreen monitor, it actually receives the input!
So, the touchscreen works, but the screen is completely black. I have tried installing updated drivers, nothing seems to work. Before, I would disable and re-enable the Monitor driver, and that worked once. Now it doesn't. The only thing that seems to work is to let the battery deplete completely and then turn it on, but that takes several hours. I have used the "reset" button and that does nothing.
WHY WOULD THE TOUCHSCREEN WORK BUT THE MONITOR BE BLANK!
Sorry, I had to get some frustration out with all caps Any help would be appreciated.

Satellite Radius L15W-B1302
the support site here is missing the computer specs. Maybe Peter can get that fixed.
I've noticed that when new models are introduced, Toshiba puts the spec on the web first and then after a few days (or weeks) adds them to this site. So you need to look in a different place sometimes.

Crippled from loss of displays upon restarting from alt boot drive

HI,
I Selected for restart an alt internal drive startup disk (previously tested and confirmed working) that I had cloned for a backup.
upon restarting my dual displays do not respond at all under any circumstances so I find myself crippled. They don't even flash anything. Same if I try just running one display.
I've tried every startup key command in the book including holding option, shift, C with snow leopard DVD inserted, and still nothing. I reset PRAM and my startup sound is now louder so I know that worked, also at one point I ejected a. DVD with command E, so it seems it's booting, but where did the graphics card/displays go, and how to get them back?
2008 Mac Pro, OS 10.9.2.
thanks

Update from jeebs 2:
Next morning I try just plain old booting again for the heck of it, and it......worked...(?!). HAPPY.
It went ahead and booted from the original drive I had been using before the crisis (YAY), and now I'm very hesitant to try booting again from the backup (which is sporting an OS version I was considering reverting back to), although that backup drive has mounted and is looking fine......

Is there any way to make Firefox 4 display the web sites originally pinned in each tab upon restart of Firefox instead of the last web site viewed before ending Firefox?

After pinning a particular web site in each tab that I want to use in Firefox 4, the tabs work as expected for the initial session. However, after ending and later restarting Firefox 4, each tab starts with whatever page was displayed upon the previous close of Firefox. Upon restarting, I would like for Firefox to display the original pinned web page. Any suggestions?

You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.

Inspiron 3847 losing video output to HP w2207h via HDMI and Analog upon Restart

I recently purchased an Inspiron 3847 and hooked it up to an HP w2207h monitor by VGA and HDMI. Twice I have installed new software and upon restart I lose all video output. The computer is running, but I am unable to get video to my monitor to use it.
I am not sure where to go from here, as I have hooked up my laptop to the monitor also by VGA and HDMI and the monitor works fine?

* Turn the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H off
* Disconnect the VGA cable from both the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H
* This leaves only the HDMI cable connecting the Inspiron 3847 to the W2207H
* Turn the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H on. Does anything appear on the W2207H? If yes, allow it to boot all the way into windows
* When done, restart the Inspiron 3847. What happens?
