Between the two I doubt you would see much of a performance difference but technically the Toshiba is a faster computer.  The Toshiba also appears to be expandable to 8 gb of ram if necessary, which could com in handy if need be.   The HP does appear to have a little better battery life as well as an HDMI output that the Toshiba doesn't.  If you have been hearing problems with the HP though, go with the Toshiba.

    Delete what? The ID's? They cannot be deleted - you just quit using it.
    If you still have one old ID - that you have purchased content with - you are saying that the password no longer works with that ID? Did you try to reset the password for that ID?
    Read this - instructions if the ID was disabled for entering the wrong password.

  • My Laptop failed. Please help

    Hi guys, so 3 days ago My laptop "crashed". I can't really find any other word to describe but basically I was unable to boot up pass the grey screen. It just shut down.
    So I decided to go into the Recovery Mode to restore my Macbook from scratch, however, all I have done is failure. I cannot reinstall Mac OS Lion. I cannot install Mac Leopard from the disc. I only need a MAC OS X so I can get access to my encrypted WD Hard Drive and back it up from Time Machine.
    All details of my case can be found from this quote, which is a thread that I started on a different forum.
    Thanks for paying attention and please help me. I'm having exam in 2 days and now I'm stuck with this Safari-only brick.
    Hi guys, I'm a new member of this forum. Right now I am posting this in Recovery Mode on my Macbook Pro. I'm having an exam in 2 days and now I am stuck fixing my laptop
    My laptop is the early 2011 model 2.3 Ghz Macbook Pro. Since I bought it I haven't done any modification to the hardware. All I have been doing is surfing Internet and recently I have been playing Diablo.
    I take care of my laptop but it fails me.
    Recently I experienced terrible performance on my laptop. Starting with whatever that has to do with flash, anything, music from myspace, Youtube ..etc.. that is played on Safari, it just freezes safari and my Mac very often. Whenever I play Youtube, it normally plays smooth for 1 or 2 videos and then start freezing up, the video would be frozen but the sound still goes. It's very annoying.
    Until 3 days ago, my Mac just goes frozen, everything, Finder, VLC ..etc.. in a time interval. I could not even watch a movie on my laptop, VLC just got frozen every 2 minutes. Even when I use Finder to open through my files, it just freezes often. I had to restart before being able to watch a movie.
    Eventually, yesterday, everything goes back again. I thought the restart fixed my issue. Suddenly my whole macbook freezes. Let me say this again, MY WHOLE MACBOOK, everything. I have never experienced this, even my mouse, I could not do anything other than hitting the power button to force restart.
    After this, I can't get my Macbook to boot up. It would not go pass the grey screen. The first time it starts up, it took me 30 minutes to fully finish the loading bar at the grey Apple screen. It let it load, thinking it would take a while then everything will be back into places. Then it shuts down. After that, I tried like 10 times but nothing happens, after passing the grey screen the macbook just shuts down itself.
    So I went into a Hardware test. I tried several times but It always stucks at Pass Item 1, testing items. It would come to a phase when the mouse responsiveness is very slow and I could not stop it by Command + . like instructed but had to force shut down.
    I went into Recovery Mode, verify my HD, repair it. I believe my HD is fine, the S.M.A.R.T status says verified. I'm lucky my Hard Drive is not failed. So I erase my whole HD to restore it fresh.
    I have everything backed up on a WD Mybook 2 TB Hard drive. However I cannot use this by any chance because I foolishly encrypted my whole external hard drive. Normally everytime I plug it in I had to put my passcode through an application called "WD UNLOCKER". Now that I can't access to anything except the Recovery Mode. I could not unlock my HD to use the backup. I did try the Backing up from Time Machine option, however my Time Machine HD would not show up, simply because it is not unlocked yet. If anyone knows how to unlock this, or to access WD UNLOCKER from Terminal, please tell me.
    I tried reinstalling Mac Os Lion from the Recovery Mode. The first time I let it start and went to work. After 6 hours I came back and it was stuck at "Downloading additional components .. ". It would not change, it was stuck. My internet connection is VERY stable because during the whole time, i use my iPhone to access the Internet.
    I tried the second time reinstalling Mac Lion last night. It was going all right. It finished the first phase then got into "Downloading Additional Component" again, this time it was going VERY VERY slow. So I slept for 4 hours, I woke up this morning and saw my laptop screen on the Recover Mode with the 4 options shown, nothing has changed. I didn't know what happened but I don't think I will try downloading 4 GB of Lion again.
    Last night, I also try installing Mac Leopard from the startup disc. But it took very slow. Nothing froze but the ETA was stuck at 21 minutes remaining and it would not move. So I think I will try this again today and leave it while I go to work.
    I need to install some type of system on my Mac in order to get access to my Time Machine backup HD and restore it. If my Snow Leopard install is successful, I will upgrade it back to Lion by any mean.
    Update : Installing Mac leopard failed twice due to : " Could not copy necessary support files ".
    Thank you for paying attention to my post and read the whole thing. Please, please help me with this.

    Go rerun the Apple hardware test, run the extended test, and let it finish.  It can take anwhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.  Pass 1 is the memory pass and takes the longest time of the test to complete.
    I've downloaded Lion several times, and it usually takes 3.5 to 4 hours. If your internet connection wasn't a fast one, although stable, it could take longer.
    Everything you've described sounds like a failing hard drive. When you initialized it, did you do a security write of zero's to the hard drive? That also resets the bad sector table, and can help get a bit more life out of a failing drive. If not, boot up on the Leopard disk, bring up Disk Utility, and erase the hard drive, clicking on secruity options, and write zero's to the hard drive. This takes ahwile so let it complete. Then reinstall the operating system.
    When you get the system going again, I would download SMART Utility to get a better readout on your hard drive's health. The hard drive can be failing before it trips what Disk Utility reports for the one SMART status.

  • Purchased a Movie, which has just disappeared - PLEASE HELP!!!

    I really need some help here please,
    A few hours ago, I purchased a Movie from the iTunes store which took 3 hours to download to my iPod touch which cost £6.99. A soon as it finished, I took then plugged it into my PC to transfer the purchase to my iTunes library, for a backup.
    Whilst I was doing this, iTunes (as per usual) froze on me when it was syncing and did not respond at all when I moved and clicked an area of the open window. Because of this, I was forced to quit iTunes and re-open it again, to try and get the film onto my PC.
    When I connected my iPod to iTunes again, the Movie disappeared from my iPod and there was no sign of it anywhere on my PC either. Where is it?!
    Because of this and un-aware I had to pay £7 again to download the movie on my iPod, I repeated the whole process and as before, the file just went missing on both my iPod and PC.
    You may ask "Why didn't you purchase it through iTunes on your PC?" and the reason why is because the iTunes Store doesn't work on the PC any more. I've tried hundreds of new and old solutions to fix this and none of them seem to work. I've disabled EVERY type of firewall that could potentially be blocking me using the store, disabled all spyware programs and it still won't work.
    I feel very angry and annoyed here, as I've spent £14 on 1 film I've tried to get twice and attempting to find a missing file that never appeared on my PC.
    So how do I resolve this constant freezing probelm with iTunes, how do I get the iTunes Store working again, and most importantly, is there any way of me getting my £14 back? Please help!
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
    Martin.

    I'm a begineer in labview. I want to evaluate an equation which has complex numbers through text code.. 
    Are you saying you don't want to use LabVIEW to evaluate this? In which case I suggest asking on a different forum.
    for(f=0;f<=2560;f=f+0.3125)
         R=((H12-e^(-i*k))/(e^(i*k)-H12))*e^(i*k);
    There is no 'f' in the loop, I don't understand what the loop would evaluate, unless k is a constant in which case the loop is redundant.
                k         function of frequency
                f          frequency 
    If k is a function of frequency you need to say what that function is. For example if you are evaluating 'k' for changing 'f' and applying it to the equation for R. I don't know what the best procedure would be but my first port of call would be nested loops: 'R' for each 'k' for each 'f' ?
    In the absence of a function for k this vi would evaluate you formula for k=f, I don't know if this wil help any.

  • HP Pavilion G6 (G6-2313AX) automatically stops music when I put the laptop lid down, please help?

    Hi,
    My Laptop is a Pavilion G6-2313AX (AMD A10-4600M with 7660G+7670M Dual Graphics) with genuine Windows 8. I use this laptop a lot in the school bus, while going in cars etc to listen to music. Problem is whenever I put my laptop screen down (It is set NOT to go to sleep mode), the track pauses on Windows Media Player, iTunes, any program. Someone please help me on what I should do to prevent this from happening!

    I understand that the music pauses when the notebook is closed.  When the notebook is closed, this is usually to move it from one place to another.  This may be triggering HP ProtectSmart which physically stops the HDD from spinning causing everything to pause until the HDD is stable.  Newser systems are more sensitive to protect the HDD and the data on it.
    This sounds like it's more in relation to ProtectSmart more so than a power plan.  Review this thread as it looks similar to your issue.  Disabling HP ProtectSmart is what fixed it for them.
    Let me know if this answered your question.

    Without that Password you will not be able to re-activate it.

    There is No workaround.

  • Which laptop is best?

    Have started to shoot with a Canon 7D and now needs a good laptop. Which Macbook is best for video editing in HD? Must have a laptop because I travel a lot. Also want to use Final Cut Studio. This whole Mac bite is new to me ... used the PC before.

    Well, for starters, you're going to be transcoding all the files that come out of your 7D to ProRes, which means you'll need a beefy external drive, which means you'll want a FireWire 800 port, which automatically disqualifies the regular Macbook. To decide which Macbook Pro you want, I'd use this chart:
    http://store.apple.com/us/tab?node=home/shopmac/family/macbook_pro&tcid=tgtabcontroller&tab=2
    ...and weigh your own needs against it. All of them will run FCP. If you're interested in Color and Motion as well, the lowest end 13" model may not be the best choice.

  • Acer Laptop Screen Replacement (Please Help)

    I accidentally cracked my Acer laptop screen and I need to know how much a replacement would cost.
    Can I take the laptop to Best Buy to get it fixed? If so how long would it take?
    The screen is not large, its a fairly small laptop.
    Would it be cheaper just to buy another inexpensive laptop?

    You most certainly can bring the laptop to best buy to have it fixed - based on the estimate, you can decide which is more cost efficient.
