Where is Toshiba's concern for the lack of quality in their product?

There are too many similar complaints here which lend to the fact that Toshiba is ignoring the fact that they are manufacturing and selling a severely flawed product where they fail to "fix" the ongoing problems. If your company knows that this is the case, why are they in this business at all? I find hundreds of postings, not only here, but on the web with general failure problems all the way from certain features such as the webcam (hundreds of complaints, maybe more), to the general failure of the machine altogether even when brand new out of the box. And yet I don't see where Toshiba is stepping up to the plate to correct these issues and making sure their customers are getting what they paid for, myself included. So far, it appears to be total junk and Toshiba seems to be okay with that. I will NOT buy another one, that's for sure!

Toshiba and most other makers except Asus and perhaps Apple don't manufacture their laptops.  You can Google and find more information.    I wasn't too sure about the quality of the new Toshibas that were avaialble in Jul/Aug 2012.  So, I bought used ones, Toshiba Satellites.    Otherwise, I would probalby have gotten a Leovo of the former IBM ThinkPad class.

    My system is Mac OS X v.10.6.8.
    I used to work on my 3000 photos with GIMP on a P.C, but since I had a breakdown, I would like to carry on on my Mac as soon as possible.
    Figuring out unaided a new OS after a breakdown is the best prescription for another breakdown.
    Before going back to editing your photos, I suggest you need to familiarise yourself with your new OS. Get a book (eg, David Pogue's "Missing Manual…") -- now, that Lion's been out and about for some time, you can probably get the Snow Leopard (aka Mac OS X v10.6) edition at a discount. Take the time to read it and understand it, and you'll spare yourself a mountain of frustration. There are enough similarities between Mac OS X and Windows to fool you into believing almost everything works the same way, when, of course, it doesn't -- many similarities are only skin-deep.
    Once you've done that, you'll be in a better position to install and use GIMP or look for alternatives.
    where do I find the exact version (in french)
    For French issues, you are probably better off checking the forums on MacBidouille or MacGeneration.

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

    I have had to reinstall my Adobe creative suite 6 Standard but when I key in the serial number it asked for the serial number of a qualifying product?

    It's asking you or prompting you to input the old serial number of the version that you used to upgrade to your new version.

  • Where can I buy Morrowind for the MAC?

    Does anyone know where I can buy Morrowind for OS X because I have heard of it being played on the Mac, but I clearly don't know if it will work.

    While I don't play it, did some searches for you, and didn't find a native mac version anywhere for OS X. Might run under Microsofts VirtualPC on OS X, or on under Boot Camp on an Intel-based mac.

  • Toshiba 46TL938G hangs for the 20 sec hanging channel volume or input

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Toshiba 46TL938G. When it I turn it on and try to do something the system hangs for about 20 seconds, a large rotating circular icon appears in the top right hand corner of the screen (As if it's performing a start up and informing me I have to wait) then everything works fine.
    It's very frustrating as it only seems to happen when you try to do something like change the channel/volume/AV input. For example if I turn on my TV and leave it for 5 minutes it will just sit idle on the programme that's on.
    But the second I try to change the channel/Volume/Input/go into menu it hangs for the 20 seconds and then does it's thing and lets me get on with my life.
    Has anyone else experienced this and know of a fix? The firmware on my TV says it's up to date.

    Did you try to reset the TV?

  • Where can I find documentation for the HSP* Custom Functions

    I can see a number of HSP functions are registered in Essbase but cannot find any documentation for them. I am reluctant to use them for client development without some proper documentation. Does anyone know where it can be found?
    The functions are :
    @HspNthMbr
    @HspNumToString
    @HspDateToString
    @HspConcat
    @HspMbrIndex
    @HspMessage
    @HspGetMbrCount
    @HspCreateCDFSession
    @HspRemoveCDFSession
    @HspAddPageCombination
    @HspCreateEssbaseServerFile
    @HspWritePageCombinations
    @HspGetFileName
    Many of these look interesting. Some of them seem obvious, others might have a number of paramenters and options.
    Any help appreciated.

    Here is the contents of essfunc.xml.  A little bit more information than what is available than in EAS; for example regarding function @HspGetMbrCount, it has a limited function prototype "@HspGetMbrCount(StringArray)" and purpose "Returns the member count of the range provided".  I got this from Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/essbase1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/java.  You can view it more easily in Internet Explorer or vim.

  • Where can I leave suggestion for the manufacturers???

    Anybody knows where can suggestions can be posted for the future improvements for the software to our Ipods??
    Some things that I'd love to see in the next Ipods or software are:
    - Scrolling of the whole album name, Artist name on the screen of the Ipod
    - During the mode sleep would be nice to set the volume low level for sleep and for "alarm" mode it would be perfect wake up with a louder volume.
    - For the clock settings moving the digits each one 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 independently instead to go around the clock for 12 hours everytime when a new alarm is set.
    - Timer for sleep if could be "open" to everybody own time it would be great other than 15 mins 30 mins 60 mins etc there 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc much better in this case for sleep.
    I wish that the people that is involved with the development and manufacturing of our favorite player could do something about it otherwise who else???
    Share this message all around if there something can be done it is here and is with apple.
    Any ideas around???
    Thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm!!!

  • Where do I find documentation for the WinRT / Windows Universal versions of CloudBlockBlob?

    I am developing a Windows Universal app in which I need to upload a FileItemThumbnail to Azure blob storage. One thing that is making this tricky is that I cannot find the correct documentation for CloudBlockBlob. For example in the documentation I can find
    (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/microsoft.windowsazure.storage.blob.cloudblockblob.aspx) the method
    UploadFromFileAsync has a number of overloads each including a System.IO.FileMode parameter. But System.IO.FileMode is not available under Windows Universal. Using the metadata in Visual Studio I see that the two overloads of UploadFromFileAsync available
    to me are:
    public IAsyncAction UploadFromFileAsync(StorageFile source);
    public IAsyncAction UploadFromFileAsync(StorageFile source, AccessCondition accessCondition, BlobRequestOptions options, OperationContext operationContext);
    Where do I find the documentation for the WinRT / Windows Universal version of CloudBlockBlob?

    Hi,
    You could refer the following links for documentation on uploading and downloading files from Azure Storage with Windows Universal App.

  • Creative do stand for the lacking support of their produc

    I can't see anybody on this forum who hasn't got problem with cracking/noise sounds - it's a known problem. But the thing that do surprice me is the way Creative tackle the problem... by doing nothing, try to bring the motherboard manufactors to wear the blame for not making Nforce-4 motherboards and aged chipsets anymore to stay ali've with the ancient X-fi testing boards. Creative, how creative that now might be, just get a hang of it. We payed for a working product, not for a product potentially working on a fi've year old chipset and motherboard design. Manufactors like MSI, Asus, etc. does not stand for the problem with the X-fi support, it's up to you guys at creative to keep the things running by corporating with these companies and solve the problem if you cannot do that on your own - don't be so blind and hardass. If I got a cup and it just matched the volume my bottle of soda, I find that to be good. But if that bottle of soda volume is increased while my cup?remains in the same?volume then it will drip over the sides. It's not the cups fault things tip over. That's exactly what Creative has been doing, they found a good match between their new product and a old chipset, but once there's a new and better chipset, Creative just didn't catch up, the rest of the industries improvements dripped over the sides of their companys. That's exactly why Creative needs to solve this problem RIGHT NOW or you'll drown in your own unability to take actions. This thread is highly relevant as it gives a more realistic idea of what Creative is doing... Nothing. We got one or to admins on the forum and a few people on the Support, but their words are not actions are does not mean anything if they do not make things change, and they will not. Therefor this forum and their effort is not worth the time - the time should be spent by Creative fixing this problem, but they don't, becuase they don't want to spend money on us who foolishly bought their products in the hope they might actually work. Thanks Creative for ruining my gaming Experience. X-fi is a big Xtreme-FU.

    Hard to disagree with the man. If these were budget cards it'd be one thing, but the fact so many of us are getting lumbered with such a horribly anti-atmospheric bug after paying a relati'vely premium price for a sound card is quite another.
    It's not even just this forum. Look at product reviews for the cards on shopping sites and the buyer comments have plentiful complaints about the crackling. And if you do a Google search for words that contain 'X-Fi' and 'cracking'? A good 28,600 results. Change 'cracking' to 'crackling' and you get another 6,900. 'Popping' brings up 9,800. Some of those results may overlap, but whatever the case we're in the region of many thousands.
    This is not an isolated problem. It may affect a minority, but a minority can by definition be anything up to and including 49%.
    Of course, when you're the leader in a market with hardly any competition, why spend the resources, right? :/
