  • Satellite A30 seems to be overheating

    Hello. I just read the previous posts about the A30 overheating and stop. Mine did the same thing. If someone could clarify, where are the vents for me to try vaccing - they are at the back by the power cable - these look quite clean. I need to open to ACCESS them?
    If that doesn't work can not someone tell where I can go for repair, IE is there a list on the internet of the Toshiba certified service engineers?
    Thank you very much

    Hi Alison,.

    The aspiration air on the A30 grids are in the bottom of the unit just behind the battery. There are two racks, and you use the hose of vacuum cleaner on each grid.

    Kind regards

  • Test for iMac late 2009 10.11.4 IOS equipment?

    My iMac seems to be overheating (can feel the heat coming off it)... and the fans work hard constantly. I tried (unsuccessfully) to figure this on my own... but'm so over my head. Someone please guide me how to run a hardware test

    ? I have the original if necessary disks. TIA

    For older Mac, you have the installation discs (I think the AHT is on disc 2, if I remember correctly).

    Here are the instructions:

  • IMac, by default, the keyboard

    I use an APPLE Wired Digital keyboard, when I press the key "a" I am me "az", even for the 'q' = 'qs' and 'w' = 'xw', 't' and 'y' (even in the capital) lost. I check again with the new keyboard with the same problem. I checked keyboard settings.

    I launched "Applejack", active disk and permissions (no problem).

    My iMac seems OK, but the only problem with keyboard?

    Reset the SMC 2 or 3 times, if the problem persists after reset then try another USB keyboard and test. If the problem disappeared with the 2nd keyboard then you know the original is defective and must be replaced. Keyboards can and wear out or can be damaged because of the abuse of the owner.

  • iMac restarts no menu

    End of 2013 iMac, El Capitan 10.11.5, does not restart in the main menu and not the login screen restart. When selected restart, the screen becomes black for a little, then the cursor happens and things stop there. I let this sit for 5 minutes without change. I run disk first aid utility, reset the SMC, PRAM. I haver started in SafeMode with success but restarting then gives the same result. I don't think I can update to 10.11.6 since a reboot is required, and I doubt that the update can do the restart.

    In all other aspects, the iMac seems to work fine.

    Ideas/suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

  • can I connect a mac mini to existing imac?

    I have an iMac with a perfectly fine display 10.4, but I'm not able to upgrade more. I wonder if I can connect a mac mini and upgrade using my keyboard and screen of the iMac.

    Hi readingteacher,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand that you want to use your older iMac as a display of your Mac Mini. I am pleased to provide you with some information about this process.

    This article has some good information on what is needed to turn your iMac in a view:

    Use your iMac as a display with the target Display Mode

    As you can see, it takes an iMac compatible with 10.6.1 or later. Since your iMac seems to be a G5 with 10.4.8, I'm afraid that it is not compatible with this feature.

    I hope this helps clear of the things up. See you soon!

  • Slow performance of a 2011 iMac troubleshooting

    Hello

    The performance of my iMac seems to slow down.

    How would I go about troubleshooting the problem?

    I'm running 10.11.5 with 16 GB of RAM installed.

    I use Basic applications.

    In my view, that the system is slow to react to the switching of already open applications, especially from Safari, mail, but not limited to these two.

    I'm not a gamer nor do I stream videos.

    Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information.

  • iMac intermittent Internet connection... a little

    Good evening to all!

    I have an iMac mid-2011 running on OS X 10.10.5. A few weeks ago it started giving me *. Most of the time, it works very well. However, from time to time (it can vary from once in a weekend several times a day), he abandoned the Internet connection... a little. It is quite complicated to explain, and English is not my native language so patient with me. Randomly, some Web sites and right areas will become inaccessible. Reloading Web pages does not get me anywhere. Does that change the error message in my browser that will come to me. I can also access most video games require an online connection while my iMac is upward. I can quite strangely, still receive and send emails and use applications such as Skype or uTorrent. Some sites Web will always also. Most of the time, YouTube is completely functional. Is the same for the Google search function, although I can not load search results when I click on them. Facebook tends to load with an extremely messed up display. I say 'more' and ' tend to "because it happened a few times that even these sites Web would not load. Applications like Skype and Mail have never failed me up to this point. Homepage of Skype app comes down with the drops, however.

    I use mostly Chrome, but the problem is also present on Safari. I've not installed on one of these two browsers of extensions. The problem is not limited to my user. Other iMacs on the network experiment not these drops. Restarted my iMac seems to fix it temporarily. I tried to use other DNS. The issue is extremely intermittent and the 'drops' length varies from a few seconds to an hour. Here are the screenshots of the various errors that Chrome gives me (there is no reason, reload and another one pops up). I know they are in French, but it's the best I can do. I'm really desperate for help because I'm taking courses online soon.

    Thanks in advance,

    uTorrent is your problem.  Relying on software illicet means that may have installed something that hurts your connection to the network.  Sorry, but you really need to remove all software obtained torrent.  Get software only directly from the developers and the Mac App Store.  MacUpdate is good also, but never get Mackeeper.

    Hi guys,.

    First post, new to all this.

    I bought a Toshiba 3 to Stor.E Canvio external hard drive to get a load of movies and music out of my iMac.

    I plugged it in, the iMac seems to recognize, so I tried to drag and drop in the folder on the hard drive, but it leaves nothing.

    Can someone give me some advice on how to move things from my iMac to the new hard disk?

    Thank you very much, looking forward to hear from you.

    Hello

    As far as I know the HARD and the NTFS file format disc media.
    If you want to use it in Mac, you must re-formatted the system filesystem HFS + for Mac compatibility.

  • Toshiba laptops and overheating with Linux

    If you have a Toshiba laptop that seems to be overheating in Linux (like Ubuntu Linux), it is likely that this is due to bad "DSDT tables" (which refers to such things as energy saving) in the laptop.

    Each computer has a description of material data that are used by the operating system. In many cases, the DSDT tables have errors that does not allow for Linux make use of powersaving. In addition, some devices may not work because of the bad DSDT. You can check if your DSDT is OK or now by following the instructions at
    http://UbuntuForums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051

    You can perform this task even in Windows (extracted from the DSDT from your computer, recompile it and seewhether there are a of errors.) With help, you can easily fix most of the errors and 'install' back the fixed DSDT).

    You can google for "toshiba dsdt" and 'toshiba dsdt overheating' case, for example.

    Hi tarafog

    Thanks for this useful article. I m watching carefully what you write here, and I'm happy here is someone with a very good knowledge of Linux.

    MacBook seems to be overheating.  The hot spot is in the rear right corner.  The fan seems to be running and reacts to changes in rpm.  I downloaded the fan control smc reported the temperature either 172 * F.  I fell speed of 3200 RPM fan and the temperature dropped to 162 *.  Then I ran at 4000 RPM fan speed and the temperature dropped to 142 *.  It all started a couple of days without heavy use.  I have used only to check e-mail or browse the internet and similar, no game.  Any thoughts?
