Portege M500: Game "Sims 3" disc authentication error is displayed

Hello

I have a laptop Portege M500, which meets all the conditions for the new Sims 3 game.

I was able to install the game without a problem, but when I try to play a 'disc authentication error' message appears.

It seems that there is a problem with this game on Toshiba laptops, especially those with Mat * one material.

My laptop has a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ-842.

Please can someone help?

Hello

I doubt that there is something wrong with s for laptop hardware.
I goggled for the message: authentication failure drive and in most cases, the error appears in the Sims 3 game.

You use an original Sims 3 game? Or it s just a copy?

I read a few details on the various pages and looks like the error appears with a pirate copy of movies or games...

    You can try to install in compatibility mode and see if this will help; about the only other thing is you go on the game manufacturer and see if they have nothing else, you can try. It's perhaps the game just won't work in windows 8. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • Portege M500 - how to create recovery DVDs?

    Hi there :)

    I bought Toshiba Portege M500. Anyone know how to create a CD/DVD of recovery on this model?

    I installed the "recovery CD creator" but - I just can't create it. The only thing that came on the screen is: Qosmio Player recovery CD.

    On the help page - there are instructions to create the disk - but the options were not available to me. (i.e. the system recovery disc option)

    Help, please! I would really appreciate it!

    Sophie

    Hello

    Portege M500 was equipped with HARD drive recovery option?
    Did you find the information you need to create a recovery disk in the user's manual?

    Where did you find the "Toshiba recovery CD creator"?
    This tool has been pre-installed?

    I guess that there is no image on the HARD drive files that are needed to create the recovery disk Toshiba and so you can't create it.

  • Portege M500 - cannot read overburned DVD + r

    Hi all

    running a Toshiba Portege M500, WXP SP2, the v3.30 BIOS Home
    Matsu * a DVD-RAM UJ-842 drive with firmware 1.01.

    My problem is that the drive will not read overburned DVD + r - reports "disk may be corrupted or using a format that is not compatible with windows."

    Discs read fine on desktop (Sony DRU-810 has, 1.0E firmware), IBM Thinkpad Combo drive, and sweep good PIE/PIF graphics. So I think it's a compatibility issue with the player on the Toshiba firmware. I rarely overburn by more than 30 MB, so there is a lot of writing on the left surface.

    Any chance there is an updated firmware that improves compatibility of the player on the Toshiba?

    See you soon,.
    C.

    Hello

    I put t know if the firmware update will help you but generally it s not the best idea to burn on the media.
    Drive hard internal don t support each CD or DVD and in my experience the reader on the portable internal lens is more sensitive than on external drives.

    In my opinion, you should try to burn data to DVD + R properly and not overburn

  • Portege M500 - electric shock on the front left corner

    Hello

    I use my Portege M500 more than 10 hours a day to write and read.

    What bothers me from time to time is a wake-up call that I get when my left wrist touch the corner front left.
    So, I feel the shock that is minor, though only in a very sensitive part. Bothers me.

    You give me an advise how to fix it?

    Thank you very much!!

    Hello

    I put t know what could cause this problem but I highly recommend contact the ASP in your country.
    I mean something like that should not happen and I think that the ASP technician must check the hardware

    Perhaps these small electric shocks are associated with the charge of static electricity... who knows?  :|

    In any case, you should get in touch with your local service partner in order to clarify this issue!

  • Portege M500 - hard drive 320 GB expandable

    Hello. could advise you. I have a portege M500 with 80 GB HARD drive.
    It is expandable to 320GB SATA? Thank you.

    Hello

    Given that the SATA controller has no real limit on the size of HARD drive, I'd say it's possible.
    As far as I know the laptop supports version 2.5 (S - ATA) (ATA - 6) 5 400 tr/min. 9.5 mm hard drives
    You can also use hard drives with different speeds.

    This should be ok.

  • Can what iCloud password I use to configure my e-mail client?  I get an authentication error.

    While trying to set up my email client (non-Apple) to receive and send an email to my iCloud account, I get an authentication error when using my AppleID password.

    I tried to reset my AppleID password, but the password is always a failure when you try to configure my e-mail client.  I even called Apple Support today where they told me that the iCloud email password should be in sync with the AppleID password since the iCloud email is simply an alias for it.  After 25 minutes, they told me that I must use just the Apple Mail client instead.

    I finally found the solution tonight when looking through the manage your site Apple ID.  You must create a password App specific to your e-mail client:

    1. go to https://appleid.apple.com/account/home
    2. Sign in with your ID AppleID and password
    3. Once the page is loaded, click on the link 'Edit' in the Security section
    4. You should now see a section for App specific passwords
    5. Click the "generate Password... »
    6. Enter a name (I used my name to email client - Unibox)
    7. Click on create

    Apple will generate a password you will use when you set up your email client.  Use this new password instead of your AppleID password.

    Hello

    Ended in vain.

    It would be nice that you can share your ideas to connect the USB into the laptop.

    Thank you.
