Official Satellite A660 cant get and iTunes-64 updates moved

Hello

I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
It's a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the options of support authorized toshiba - tempro, health bulletin board etc.

Problem 1:
The chips toshiba Board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, display drivers, wireless drivers etc.
The only update (seems... it did not freeze at least) worked was the update of the broadcom wireless driver.
So, for the update of the display, I download the file, unzip it and nothing is passes - I have tried to run the tinstallwb.exe.
I am asked if I want the program to change the hard drive, I say Yes... and that's the last I've heard of it... tried for hours to make it work, but I look at a desktop computer without activity. In the folder to archive, if I try and run the setup.exe (the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.

Problem 2:
I tried the bios update, Bulletin Board asked me to install... it didn't, didn't want to install.

Problem 3:
I spend most of the time the laptop turned off, because it freezes on the screen of closing...

Problem 4:
Prob not a toshiba problem - but I can not install Quicktime or iTunes... the installer just freezes (it goes in not responing well) - I left runningn elaptop th for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64-bit until I had to kill the task (and turn it off, like shutdown does not work)

Any ideas, I've given up trying to update the updates that the toshiba Council services told me to put up-to-date?
I tried the update obvious everything I can, but the toshiba updates do not update :(
Other software: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.

Thanks for any help,

Andy

Hello

(1) you can download all the drivers directly from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
If you really need an update, then you must download the file, should save on the HARD drive should unzip the package and must be run setup.exe or should update the driver from Device Manager.

(2) this is a HowTo doc on update of the BIOS:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=60
If this is not possible, then your Windows operating system might be confused to the top and maybe you should get the phone before performing a BIOS update.

(3) as suggested above; all these questions could be linked to the damaged operating system and maybe you need to reinstall the operating system to make it work again.

(4) see point 3

  • Satellite A660-18 suspended and needs hard reboot

    My Satellite A660-18 crashes every two days about 2/3 times. I can't press ctrl + alt + del and the mouse does not move. I pressed the power button to restart manually. It started about two weeks after I got it in September. I watch a lot of videos online (and offline) and usually after the screen freezes / crashes, audio continues and extends. I thought that it was a problem with IE8, so I switched to Google Chrome, but it still continues. This occurs also in offline mode. Also, after my laptop crashes, the fan speeds up so I thought it was an overheating issue. I bought a carpet of cooling a few days ago, and the system still hangs. I don't know what to do now, can anyone help?

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what causes this but you should check different things;

    (1) reinstall the OS. Dirty registry entries affect the OS eth feature
    (2) clean OS using CCleaner
    (3) check the bars of memory. Run the test using a tool like memtest86 + or similar
    (4) check the HARD disk. You can use Drive Fitness Test, which is free.
    (5) update BIOS and other pilots like graphics card driver

  • Satellite A660 - Tempro alerts and the status of the guarantee

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660. Windows 7 64-bit.
    First Tempro worked but I have not had an update since October 6 and my warranty status now says
    'Standard Standard warranty Toshiba unregistered'?
    Think this should happen when Tempro advised me on a Tempro itsself update: update around 6 October?
    I registered my guarantee that some moths back, I can not re - save that I am already registered, I can confirm that my warranty is until August 2011 on the toshiba support site.
    I can browse and then install updates from toshiba but not by Tempro. Infact today I downloaded Tempro 3.3.4 and installed.
    TEMPRO is activated and shows my correct series and number of model, but always said that my warranty is not registered.

    Under condition of the guarantee: guarantee offers, help and register buttons all work, but clicking on the button "Refresh" seems to do nothing. If I disconnect my internet and press "update" button there is no percievable difference?

    I'm sure theres no firewall problem, but put exceptions in TemproSvc.exe and TemproTray.exe to be sure.

    I know that Toshiba say wait 5 days for the warranty to show registered but surely that does not mention when you click on the update button, but since time of your registration?
    Which for me was long August/September.

    Hey Buddy,

    Where to check the details of the warranty for your laptop?
    For European laptops, you can check the warranty here: http://www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails

    If it s are not correct, you should ask a service provider authorized in your country or contact Toshiba people under [email protected] and explain your situation.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A660-155 freezes and needs of startup repair or does not start

    Hello, in the middle of the month of August, I bought a satellite a660-155, PSAW0E-00U00DEN S/N 5A214647K.
    It is registered under warranty until the Aug2011.
    After less than a week, it refused to start.
    I rang support and they recommended that I use the recovery discs to restore to factory condition. I did and spent the next 3 nights reload software and my backup disk data.

    Since then he refuses sometimes to start the hard drive with a relative error that it cannot rfind and then ask which drive to boot from. If I select the hard drive, it starts later. Sometimes when running he crashes and then restarts.

    Last night, after that it had not been used for a few days, I woke up he "sleep" mode. I logged on okay, but then the blue logo 'circly' comes on, spinning away happily, and nothing else (just for logging on the text). After 30 minutes, I pressed the power button to turn off because the cell phone was totally insensitive.
    On commissioning, I got a white screen for 30 minutes, then the Startup Repair option.
    I launched it and check start lasted almost an hour and an hour, then he said, trying to repair. After a few hours, I left and went to bed. This morning, he showed the guest of logon and connected properly, as if nothing had ever happened.

    I lost confidence in Toshiba laptops, (I am responsible for computer SCIENCE) and I've never seen this problem before on a so-called quality machine. I only ise it fot simple e-mail/internet/word documents.

    All I can conclude is that there is little material defective (hard drive) that stops responding intermittently.

    I sent support at 07:00 this morning, but have not had a response.

    Can you help me? This machine needs ideally replace or repair collection, back in working condition 100% reliable. Could someone please contact me to see where I go from here?
    Under the law of consumption, you have a duty to rectify my sad situation, that the flaw exists again.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the info!
    Seems to replace the HARD drive would solve!

  • Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
    It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
    As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

    Kind regards
    Claudiu.

    Claudiu salvation,

    That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
    No problem at all!

    Have you tested different USB devices?

    In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M and fan speed controller

    Hello

    Is there anyway to reduce the speed of the fan on the A66011m Satellite?
    The fan operates at 67% and makes too much noise for use in an office environment. Is it possible to reduce this?

    Thank you

    Adam

    Hello Adam

    There is a single way to do this. Go to power management and open the advanced power settings for the management of the power supply you use.
    You will find Toshiba Power Saver options and parameters for the method of cooling. Open it and put them in optimized battery.

    This should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

  • Satellite A660: no light and no beep touchpad keys

    Hello world

    first of all, I apologize for my English, I'm Italian.

    I am panic with my laptop, yesterday I reinstalled everything using the recovery DVD and has already had some problems with the touch buttons.

    Sometimes their light turns on, and they never do the "beep" when I touch them, work of the beep only during startup.
    Here are the main problems: I have already install the latest firmware of fingerprints buttons from Toshiba Web site.
    How can I solve it?

    Last question: the echo utility button light should be turned off when you and just be green when the echo is active, isn t it?

    Thank you very much

    Post edited by: keivan92

    Hello

    The beep occurs during startup as the POST (power self test) was transmitted correctly.
    Usually, the system beep can be changed in the BIOS in Advanced tab.
    In my case there are different levels of sound summer: Off, low, medium and high.
    In my case I put in the Middle, but even if the system beep is activated, the button multimedia don t beep. I guess they should not beep.

    With regard to the light on the button:
    It is called illumination.
    As far as I know in some cases, the BIOS contains this option and you can enable and disable the lighting in the BIOS.
    If the lighting is not available in the BIOS, check this:
    Go to the Program Files/Toshiba/TBS

    You will find the application called dimmer.
    This allows the key light.

  • Satellite A660 - 12 fall down during the update of the BIOS, start again

    Hi all

    I bought my laptop A660-12th in June 2010, and a few months I've been encountering frequent problems of freezing of the screens, stops unsollicitated... so I decided to clean up my computer and update programs the computer base (including the BIOS) with the latest versions available on the Toshiba site, hoping it would be more correctly.

    Then, when it came to upgrading the BIOS. I wanted to do it slowly because I know this is the most delicate point in the update, but I don't know what is happening during this step: program launched barely (and it was the only program running) that it has been already updated my BIOS, and in this special moment my laptop automatically go restarted... obviously I don't have BIOS more because my computer does not start still, the screen does not display anything AT ALL. There is just the noise of the fan and the lights when I turn it on, but that's all.

    I am so very angry to the Toshiba BIOS update program (and also Toshiba), because I feel that I have everything done correctly, but nevertheless this update bricked just my computer.

    Is it possible to get it back, or do you also think it bricked and lost?

    I'm afraid BIOS is dead now and what you need now is a professional help from m.
    I highly recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.

    Since then I've seen on the forums of toshiba how its so complicated to do.

    So I'm wonering if its worth the practice, what can I expect? What will get better after update?

    THX in advance :)

    Hi mate

    Don t expect anything if you have no problems with your laptop.
    BIOS update is the very delicate process and if you have no problem with the laptop, you shouldn't have to date.

    You know you would need assistance from service provider authorized if something goes wrong with the update of the BIOS.

    Therefore, never change a running system
