Yet Another Toshiba A75 Issue.. Can anyone solve it ???

I have a A75 Satellite. The issue I'm having is that everytime I try and install Windows XP, when it's copying files, it totally shuts down. It can stay running at the bios screen all day long, but when it comes to installing an OS, it shuts off.. Any fix for this ? Thanks !

Try cleaning the air vents. When it's at the BIOS screeen the CPU, memory, and hard drive aren't doing anything so very little heat is generated, but when the OS is being loaded, the CPU, memory, hard drive, and DVD drive are running and generating a lot of heat. If the vents are clogged with dust the fan won't be able to cool the unit down enough and the unit shuts down.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

    Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

    Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

  • [Solved]Yet Another HAL / Mounting issue....

    My issue can be avoided by manually mounting a device, just to get that out there.
    Whenever I transfer a larger file ( > 200mb) onto a removable USB device formated in either FAT or any non-journaled filesystem, Thunar will *pretend* like its unmounting the device but after about 20 seconds it states:
    Failed to unmount "<device name>".
    Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
    the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired,
    or the network connection was broken.
    On top of the message, my data written is mostly corrupt.
    What I know:
    ** Thunar uses exo-unmount to unmount devices given a HAL uuid. Maybe this is failing? Any clue how to debug this?
    ** 20-storage-methods.fdi states that all vfat mounted devices have 'flush' and 'async' mount options... could this be an issue?
    ** I'm part of the 'storage' and 'power' groups.
    ** i start XFCE using ck-launch-session startxfce4
    I've made sure that the device has no other handles and is not open in any window. My system(s) all have new and updated HAL and DBUS, as well as every other package. Running 'sync' after writing the files sometimes fixes the issue. Does anyone have a fix for why removable drives aren't "sending a reply" ? Thanks!

    Alright ... well. I managed to solve this kind of. As per my last post regarding the same exact issue, I must've missed a reply from Inxsible telling me to use the FIRST suggest UDEV rule from the arch udev wiki.
    The result of this is basically...
    *Device inserted
    *Mounted in /media/<device name> automatically
    *(No access via Thunar sidepane since it gets mounted with `mount`)
    *No need to manually unmount
    *just unplug or power off the device and it gets "lazy" unmounted via `unmount`
    Downside:
    *Mounting a drive via TrueCrypt creates a directory in /media that doesn't get automatically deleted.
    *Not a solution to Thunar having response issues with unmounting.

  • [SOLVED, sort of] Yet another UEFI boot issue

    Hello everyone,
    Let me start by saying sorry for the long (first) post.
    I've ended up with a UEFI boot problem I can't solve. I've searched the forum and internet and I realize I'm not the only one who ran into problems with UEFI. Unfortunately, the problems other have had seem not similar to mine. I've spent almost 2 days now trying to figure this out, and I'm getting nowhere (though I've learnt some more about UEFI, which I guess is good). I was hoping someone here can give me some hints on how to proceed.
    So lets start with the background. I recently bought a new computer (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 with Windows 8) and of course I want to run ArchLinux on it (been using ArchLinux for almost 7 years now and no plans on switching). Installation went ok with only a few problems during installation that I managed to solve (or so I thought). I must admit I didn't follow the guide fully. I didn't want to remove the Restore and Windows partitions, so I figured it would be safe to reuse the existing UEFI System Partition, as long as there was enough room, which there was. Anyway, I now have a computer I can boot into ArchLinux and also Windows 8, just the way I want it, almost. There is this one final issue I haven't been able to figure out how to solve.
    The problem
    Whenever I reset/power on the computer, I must press Enter during the initial screen (showing a Lenovo logo, and a message about pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup). If I don't press Enter before the timeout (a second or so), the screen will go white and that's it. No beep, no message, no nothing but a white screen. A power cycle is the only way to leave this state. Occasionally the screen will be a white bar at the top and random colours below, but I'm guessing this only represents what is in graphics memory at the time (0x00, 0xFF or any other random value).
    If i do press Enter however, then I'm presented with a menu where I can select what to boot; rEFInd (which is preselected) along with Windows 8 and some restore and diagnostic entries. Pressing enter will take me to the preselected rEFInd, pressing enter again (or wait for timeout) will boot linux, and I'm in. Nothing weird there. And if I select Windows in rEFInd, then windows boot, just as expected.
    There is no difference whether I'm switching from Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows or just reboot the same OS I was using again. The result is the same whatever I choose to boot.
    So the question is: Why do I have to select rEFInd manually and go through all these menus? Should I not be able to just power it on and let it boot the preselected rEFInd entry and continue from there, without me helping it?
    Trying to solve it
    Searching here and on the internet gave me some ideas on what to try, so here is a list of my attempts:
    efibootmgr show me there is a rEFInd entry, and that it is the first one in boot order
    I copied refindx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (replacing an existing entry)
    I've updated the EFI firmware (from Lenovo) to the latest and greatest
    One other guy had almost the same issue, but with a single boot of Windows. He solved it with Microsoft Boot Manager (there is an Automatic Repair, or something). I even dared trying this, though I must admit I was a bit hesitant about letting some Microsoft program trying to repair my computer. Anyway, it said it couldn't repair my problem, nor did it say I had one, so I am none the wiser.
    None of the above gave anything.
    So, that's it. I guess I can live with having to press Enter on every power up/reset, but it is very annoying having to do so, and even more so when I forget it because then I'm forced to power cycle it. I hope someone reading this can figure out what's going on, because I am clueless.

    WonderWoofy wrote:@srs5694, have you thought about filing a bug report/feature request about the naming scheme here?  I would imagine that something coming directly from the upstream developer would be something that they should take into consideration.  Also, I imagine that renaming it to refindx64.efi kind of goes against the whole "vanilla packages" thing we tout around here... so it really makes me wonder why it is done in the first place.
    I've just done that:
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33326
    It's not been very important until recently; but I've been putting a lot of effort into the ancillary support scripts (install.sh and mvrefind.sh). They necessarily rely on the files having certain names, so installing them under other names robs users of functionality.

    Good luck with that!
    FWIW, it seems that the number of EFI-related bug reports on Linux forums has gone way up recently. No doubt this is because EFI is now pretty much universal on new computers, so problems that used to affect one or two people now affect dozens or hundreds, and some of those post about them.

  • Yet Another P7N Diamond Issue

    Apart from the ongoing problem I am still having in this thread I now have yet another dilemma. I bought a BFG 9800 GT OC2 as a upgrade and installed it the usual way ensuring I connected the 6 pin connector too and the pc does not boot up even after several attempts
    Instead I am getting a strange beeping pattern one long beep then some shorts 
    Please if someone could shed some light I would greatly appreciate it even if its regarding my previous issue.

    I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

  • Can anyone solve this query requirement

    Would like to know if anyone solved this situation in the query before. If yes, or If you have any ideas, could you please share it with me.
    Below is the scenario.
    Cube data: We have a number of 'FACILIIES'. 'Surveys' are conducted for each facility once in every six to 18 months. No fixed time intervals though. And surveys are numbered sequencially, always in the increasing order with respect to time. each survey has a 'survey date'. and a keyfigure 'Count'.                                                  
    DATA IN THE CUBE AS OF 4/30/2005               
    FACILITY...SURVEYID...SURVEYDATE...COUNTKEYFIGURE     
    525...         121...  1/6/2004...         6

    624...         245...  4/15/2005...    6     
    If the query is run for the above data, is shouls be displayed like this.               
    REPORT AS OF 04/30/2005

    525... 157... 8... 138... 5
    624... 245... 6... 140... 4
    Once the data is updated further, this is the data in the Cube as of 10/30/2005

    Dynamically, the latest survey and previous survey has to be determined. Any ideas on how to solve... We alrady thought of making changes to the Survey Master data. Any thing that can be done in the query itself?
    thanks

    (I could not improve the display format, so I used '...' to separate the fields. may be SDN should look into improving the display format)

    Hi Gova..
    We too had a similar requirement..to get the previous records..
    We had to end up having to populate the Previous record in a seperate field on the same line..
    I think you are on the right path to modify the master data and have the previous survey and previous count populated on every line..
    Good Luck
