"Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" - Satellite C660-108

Got a new laptop for Christmas yesterday and it worked fine yesterday, I came home this evening and it wanted me to click restore and then restart. I done that, now every time I go to turn the machine on it brings up the message "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" and a saying about having any external devices plugged in and to remove then (which I don't)...
Phoned "The Tech Guys" they said it was probably because when i started the laptop so many updates etc have happened and one of them have gone wrong and I need to phone back with the receipt and they will go through it with me.
So I plan to do so, but I would like it if people could give advise on how to fix this.
Thanks :)

Hi
As I understood the last message; the HDD recovery could be started properly but you are not able to log in the Windows. Is it right?
Did you try to repeat this procedure once again? If not, do this and try to recover the notebook using HDD recovery.
Before you would start the recovery again, please go to BIOS pressing F8 and set the BIOS to default settings. Save the changes and try the HDD recovery.

Can any one help? "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically."

I have a laptop satellite L455-S5000.
And when I try and trun on my computer a black screen comes on that says "windows is loading files..."
and after it loads a window pops up saying "startup repair is checking your computer for problems..."
and after that gets done it says "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" so I click "Send information about this problem (recommended)" and then I click "finish" then it shuts down. when I try turning it back on it does the same thing over. Please can any one help me fix it? Im really clueless about computers and I have know Idea what is wrong with it, or how to even go about fixing it. thanks.

Turn the laptop off, hold down F8, turn the laptop on and let go of F8 when you see the Advanced Boot Options.
In here, choose Repair Your Computer then press enter, follow the prompts, choose System Restore and restore your laptop to a point before the problems started.
If the laptop cant get you there, a system recovery starts the laptop from it's factory state but you loose your programs and files doing that. Holding the "0" beside "9" while you turn the laptop on boots the laptop from its recovery partition if you accept data loss.

Problems with Photoshop CS2
I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

CD/DVDW SN-S082D issue - Windows cannot start this hardware device Code 19

I've had my laptop for a little over a year now and it's had it's fair share of problems, most of which are fixable or there is a workaround.
Earlier today I inserted a disc into the drive and tried opening it up, went into "My Computer" and found the disc drive was not listed.
This has happened once or twice before and a simple restart fixes the problem.
I've restarted twice and this time the problem wasn't fixed, after going into "Device Manager" I found there was a problem with the device and it gave me the following error
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
As usual 'Check for soulutions' is useless and returned no results.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Some info that may help

First of all I wonder why you post this here in the Toshiba forum if you dont have a Toshiba notebook
This is a little bit strange for me... anyway I will try to help you.
It seems that the registry keys are corrupt and therefore your CD/DVD drive cannot work properly.
Try simply the solution proposal mentioned here in the Microsoft doc:

You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.

So i signed into my other itunes account to download some purchase i had made on that account, went to sign back into my new account and download purchases i had made on my iphone adn it tells me "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.". This is a shared family computer with multiple Apple IDs being used on it. Not cool apple. This needs to be figured out. Not acceptable for families that have more than one apple ID to have to wait 3 months to download old purchases. Get real. Any way i can 'override' this?

Can't play my library: "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID...you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days." Got a fix?

Since my daughter burned a CD from my computer using our shared libraries I cannot play my library. This pops up: "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days." I can get as far as viewing my library but listening is denied by this pop-up. Can anyone help, please? I just noticed my (this) computer is not showing as registered to my account. Hmmm....a clue perhaps?

Do you have a question?

You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.

I only have 1 Apple ID. I turned off iTunes Match on my iMac, and now I cannot turn it back on. I get this error when I try to just turn iTunes Match back on, on the same computer, with the same Apple ID that I used orginially to subscribe to iTunes Match:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.
I checked for iTunes updates. None are available since I am using the latest.
I stopped/started iTunes. I rebooted the iMac.
NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!
I have a Mac Mini and I use the same Apple ID on iTunes there. I was able to turn iTunes Match off and back on with no trouble at all but my iMac refuses to allow me to turn on iTunes Match.
Now what do I do?

Unless you really only have one AppleID that you use with the iTunes Store there's really nothing you can do. In the case of having only one AppleID you should contact iTunes Store support, since that would be a server-side problem.

HT4913 iTunes Match:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

I'm subscribed to iTunes Match but when I turn it on I get this message:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

I had this happen back in December/January. I sold my MBP that I used to subscribe to iTunes Match back in December. In January, I bought a used MB and tried to use iTunes Match on it. I was told I had to wait nearly two months to use it on the new computer. I waited and was finally able to use it in the new computer.\
Sadly, this has more to do with the content providers (Record lables / movie studios) than it has to do with Apple impsoing the restrictions.

HT201272 You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days.

I only have one, the iMac is only associated with this ID, yet i get this message after evry thing i try to download from the store......You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days.

You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 60 days. Why?

You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 60 days. How can I use more than one apple ID with one MacBook pro ?

Hi
No - that is the issue - both my husband and I use the same computer and want to be able to use our individual Apple IDs so can access our download content e.g. I-books that we have purchased through our other MAC devices such as I-Pad. In the past, we had four people using one computer with no problem regarding Apple ID. In the newer operating system, we are now restricted to one at a time - it means one of us is blocked out from accessing our content for a period of 90 days. Have you any suggestions on how we can both use our individual Apple IDs with the same lap-top? We have set up discrete accounts so we log on to the computer individually. Many thanks for any help.

You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 74 days.

Installing CS5.5, got an error window that says "windows cannot open this file"

I download the CS5.5 files. Clicked on the larger file to open it and received an error window stating that "windows cannot open this file". Any suggestions?

@caroline,
are both files in the same directory?
are you clicking the exe, not the 7z?
if yes to both, right click the exe and click 'run as administrator'.
if that fails, run the cleaner (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then click the exe.

TS1389 I have deauthorized 3 of the 5 computers and it still says I cannot authorize this computer?

I have gone through the steps listed to deauthorize 3 devices. My account now only shows the 2. Now i cannot authorize this computer as it stops me saying cannot because of 5 authorized.

As far as I'm aware, the only way to do it is to De-authorise All. You cannot simply de-authorise three without the other two.
Only once you have De-authorised All, can you then Authorise the two remaining computers that you are using.
Therefore this, combined with you "getting a message" saying that you have five authorised, suggests that you have not managed to achieve what you wish. Where - or rather how - did you "get this message"? If you look at your account information in the iTunes Store, what does it say under Computer Authorisations?

Battery is not charging on Satellite C660-108

I've just bought a new Satellite C660-108 as a Christmas present. The laptop worked fine for a while but then I noticed that the Windows 7 power icon stated that the battery wasn't charging (even though it was correctly inserted, both sliders were in the correct position, the power cable was plugged in and switched on). Sure enough when the battery ran down the computer died.
Current situation is that the computer will run fine with the power cable if the (now dead) battery is removed but it won't switch on with the battery inserted (whether the power cable is plugged in or not).
Is this a fault with the battery or the laptop?

Hi,
Follow Silas's advice. I have posted battery charge issue from toshiba technical support knowledge base
If you experience difficulty in charging the battery, or if the battery capacity has decreased over time, the following procedure might re-condition the battery:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
Remove the battery pack.
Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack.
Plug the computer into the AC adapter and check the wall outlet, making sure the connection is firm.
With the PC turned off, let the battery charge until the battery status light or icon glows green.
Unplug the AC adapter.
Remove the battery.
Wait 30 seconds and re-insert the battery.
Plug the AC adapter back in.
Let the battery recharge until the battery status light turns green or the icon displays 100%.
