• Firefox running slow, even after the reset AND reinstalled

  For the last several days that Firefox has worked really slow. When I open a new window it takes about 20-30 seconds to open an or if I try to load a site with flash (say for example of youtube) it takes time to load the site and you can not click anything, like back, address bar or even the X to close the window.

  I have scanned for viruses and found nothing. I thought it was my computer when Firefox started to slow down, but I opened Opera and Saferi to see what it looked like and they are fine. Works very well. If I restart the computer, Firefox works fine for say 2 hours before you start to slow down slowly again over time (about 5 hours later it is uber slow!). I also reset Firefox that again gave the same result as the computer restarts, very well for a few hours before starting to slow down again. Reinstalled Firefox, but again it's very well for a few hours.

  I don't know what to do. Firefox is my main browser, but I can't continue to use it like that because it takes forever to do anything.

• Qosmio G50 - 10J: how to replace the optical disc drive (ODD)?

  Hello

  the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 does not work properly, it reads only some movie-DVD, but unfortunately not videogameDVDs at all, so I can't install any games.
  The guarantee is also outdated. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the disk myself, if it is then how I had to do and if by the laptop would be in
  risk to get damaged?

  I would be very grateful for each tip and all the help guys can give me!

  Best regards

  Hello

  In various cases the ODD replacement is very delicate.

  If you wish, you can consult this forum category.
  Here you will find some videos how to replace the ODD on the different laptop models:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/Forums/Forum.jspa?forumid=115

  This is also a nice Youtube Channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:

  But the ODD laser lens may be dirty. In my case I could solve similar problem, cleaning the lens of the laser by using a cotton ball and alcohol tip.
  But make sure that this!

• MacBook Pro running slow even after upgrade

  I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch model mid 2012, which had 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, processor i5 2.5 Ghz, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB and running on OSX El Capitan version 10.11.5. I upgraded my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB, still my Mac is slow. Apps for open at the usual time, he used to take when I had 4 GB of RAM. I bought the RAM correct as required by the specification of the laptop from the apple Web site. I tried all possible measures to increase my speed of laptop by Google but there was a lot of difference.  Help, please!

  There are 2 things you can try to improve the speed of your MacBook Pro.

  1 backup all your data, then on boot hold down CMD + R, then open disk utility and format your hard drive. You go to install a new copy of Mac OS x.

  2. follow the same steps as above but swap your hard drive outside with a SSD before doing the CMD + R reset tactical.

  MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST

  I have the same machine and had the same problem, my MacBook Pro is faster than ever.

• Computer running slow even after the factory restore

  OK I'll try to summarize the best that I can about it.

  I own a Toshiba U405D 1 1/2 years, delivered with a pre-installed version of Vista Home Premium. Not a SINGLE PROBLEM NEVER, until some time late last week.

  All of a sudden (and I mean that), Windows Explorer, Windows update, and essentially the main components of my OS has become unstable. Does not not for no reason, going slowly like a dinosaur... I mean it was bad.

  Virus scan; nothing wrong. Spyware; Nada. Check disk; It froze on me twice. Safe mode; error messages like "CCC.exe unresponsive", etc. I uninstalled MANY programs; process of elimination of obviously. Always problems. So, after that it froze several several times, finally got behave long enough to create recovery disks and wiping my HD.

  After finally getting back to factory settings and starting over with my files and other, begins to have the same problems again, but now a new problem. Sometimes when the fan is, I hear a click or sound like something is stuck in the fan itself. Never had this happen before, ever.

  I don't have IE8 or any software to download. Regarding the programs installed personally, I have Norton (usually I do not use it, but I did not have time to change my Anti-vir antivirus), iTunes, lots of music from my CD collection (about 8 GB) and school of working files.

  I need to know if his time in the trash this thing and get a new, upgraded to 7 machine or can I retrieve this piece of ____?

  ~ Thank you ~

  If the same issues are produced after a recovery, it seems that it may be hardware problems.

  And the click could be a hard failure.

  See you soon.

• Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

  Hello
  I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
  So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

  And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
  Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

  Thank you for your answer

  Hello

  It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

  I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
  More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
  I think that this is not supported
  Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

  If a MacBook Pro RAM and drvie hard can be modified/improved depends on the submodel and we do not know yours. There are dozens of variations of the MacBook Pro issued since 2006, and you do not want guessing us!

  Please do "about this Mac" in your Apple menu to get this:

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman).

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

  By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

  Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

  But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

  Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

  Hope this makes things clearer.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
  But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

  Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported

  If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  10. restart once again & test.

  NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.
