some information on el capitan

I am currently on Yosemite and want to update to El Capitan but preference 10.11.3 version. I did my research and found two installers, 10.11 GM Candidate (dunno what that is) and an another 10.11.3 Installer. But as some said, there is no such 10.11.3 specific installer. I am worried about the update via the App Store because it will update to latest 10.11.5 I found most buggy. This led to me asking these:

(1) is there such a thing as the specific version Installer?

(2) if I update 10.11 GM candidate, can I use the 10.11.3 regular combo update to upgrade or do I finally download the real official Installer?

(3) if I chose to upgrade via the App Store, is there another way to downgrade from 10.11.5 to 10.11.3 assuming that I'm updating directly from Yosemite to 10.11.5 (which means no backups Time Machine 10.11.3)? I can use the 10.11.3 combo update downgrade?

(4) what is the most stable version El Cap? 10.11.3 is? Just ask.

I'm pretty new to update operating systems, so any help is the big welcome.

Thanks a bunch

Make a backup before the upgrade is always advisable

Many of us use 10.11.5 without any problem

Not sure, you can choose to upgrade to 10.11.3

I would use only the Mac App Store - don't know what GM stuff are so can't recommend it but recommend that you stay away from him

  • Tool for Toshiba to write some information about Setup / pre boot OS

    long under XP, I used a kind of tool of Toshiba that I can write some 'information/text' on the boot process text that appears before the Bios password.

    Since Win7 can find this tool once again, (Toshiba Assist / another version of supervisor password?) I remember... help!

    Satellite A300
    Thank you

    To be honest I don't know what to say exactly. Check s manual and the list of preinstalled Toshiba tools and utilities. You may recall that what you used before the tool.

    I have the Satellite A300 with Windows XP Home edition, but I don't really know what you mean exactly.
    You can try to explain Hat you did exactly with this tool?

    I just bought my ASUS laptop (with no dvd player) 3 days ago. Today I turned on for the first time and was usually up to 1 hour later this bluescreen poped out: RECOVERY, your PC needs to be repaired. The boot configuration data file is missing some information required. File:\BCD error code: 0xc0000034. You will need to use the tools for restore on your installation media. If you don't have any media of the instalation (such as a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or the PC manufacturer... As I said before that my laptop came with Windows 8, and it is not a dvd player.

    Thank you.

  • Just bought Satellite C660 and need some information please

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 1 t 1 and have some important questions, I would like to meet you please. I have looked for answers, but could find nothing specific.

    The first question I have is that when I turned on my new laptop and installed Windows 7, I noticed he had partitioned my hard drive to 500 GB in two for a 232 GB C: Windows and a 232 GB data D:
    I was wondering if there was a setting that I had missed during my first installation of Windows 7 where I could change the size of the partition? As on a previous Samsung Netbook, I could choose how much space I wanted to a backup disk, but does not remember seeing a similar option on the Toshiba startup options? If someone could confirm it please that you can't change the size of the partition to installation of commissioning, it would be a relief, because I am worried, it was my fault the score is so great.

    The second I have is that when the driver updates are released to update my driver graphics and any other material, which is the best piece of software Toshiba I should use to find and update the material? As there seems to be a lot of them pre-installed and they seem to all updated software?

    The third question is: are there specific pieces of software toshiba which should start up when I start my PC? As I will try to stop programs unimportant all begin when starting my new laptop until reduced startup time.

    Finally (sorry for so many questions) someone could explain to me why its so important to create a "recovery disc" and why it seems that I must do this as soon as possible? I'm really not at all, or the importance to create one as soon as you get your new laptop.

    Thank you very much for all the help that I tried to find answers to these questions and noticed that everyone on these forums seems to be very competent and friendly :)

    Aaron Hello and welcome to Toshiba support forum

    At first, I must say that you are doing very good. It is best to ask first before you start to experiment and screw something up. A lot of people changing all implement and later wonder why some software stuff don t work anymore.

    I have a little experience with Toshiba and will try to help you. So let's go.
    > I was wondering if there was a setting that I had missed during my first installation of Windows 7 where I could change the size of the partition?
    When you start a laptop for the first time be preinstalled recovery image will install and you will have a laptop with factory settings. This HARD drive partitions are standard. After the first start the most important is to create recovery DVDs. After having done that, you can do with your computer laptop all you want. You can delete the partitions. Change the ability scores, install OS clean, but you will be able to install the original Toshiba recovery image using this disc. It is very important.

    Of course, you can install os using HDD Recovery mode - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    In general, you can change the structure of the partitions but it may happen that there will be problems to start HARD drive recovery after doing this, but if you create recovery DVDs there is no problem for you.

    > The second I have, is that when the driver updates...
    In General, you should not install updates, especially not for Toshiba tools and utilities. My advice to you is: don change well equipped with operating system. What can you possibly update is display driver, but please use driver Toshiba only.

    > are there specific pieces of software Toshiba which should start up when I start my PC?
    Much preinstalled stuff slow startup and notebooks in general performance. So that you can disable some startup applications (MSCONFIG > startup) or even to remove them from the system. For example, you can remove Tempro, information tool product Toshiba, remove an application preinstalled antivirus and install something better like Avira Antivir. At startup, you can turn off the zooming utility, application, Adobe Reader, Google update, check laptop Toshiba webcam and so on. I turn off even more things and leave just more important tools.

    > could someone explain to me why its so important to create a "recovery disc" and why it seems that I must do this as soon as possible?
    I hope that I have answered this already, but here is the content of the Toshiba Recovery callback:

    * Important INFORMATION *.

    * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly on the hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

    * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Need some information on the Satellite A100-474 screen refresh rate

    Hello.
    Good time of day.

    I try install asp linux on my laptop. To configure X Windows I have to configure horizontal and vertical refresh of the screen (Toshiba TruBrite WXGA TFT).
    Any ideas how I can find these values?

    With respect and graditude, Raven.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I found that the information the Satellite A100-474, which belongs to the PSAA9E series has been delivered with the 15.4 screen "and max. 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution.
    As far as I know it is developed by Samsung and it is a part number: LTN154X3-L06-H0A.

    Did you look in the user manual? I think that the manual provides some useful information under Schedule A; Technical characteristics.
    It should be for information about the video modes as the resolution of the CRT screen, color depth (bpp), and refresh rate (hz).

  • Some information are obscured by other text on the Web page

    A previous part of a hidden Web page. The owner of the Web page tells me its my browser and I have consulted the same webpage using Google and it was ok. It seems to be the fault of Firefox. How to fix it.
    I restarted in safe mode, but the site is the same.

    You are welcome.

    Web sites that use absolute dimensions, and then especially the height, for containers (text) are generally very sensitive to any change in the size of the font.
    Usually immediately, you notice that there are questions if you lean to recognize its effect and then you must undo the changes (temporarily) if it's really worse as in your case and content get lost.

    You use the zoom full page will not cause problems in most of the cases, but I have sen case when same zoom causes issues.
    If it's on the websites you visit every day, then you can invest some time to see if you can come up with a stylesheet with userContent.css or elegant code to disable specific height settings (i.e. apply height: auto! important ;) or set the font size settings.) Zoom has the disadvantage of content that is already great will get even bigger (this forum is an example: a text is extra large and some smaller than 100%).

  • Satellite A100-237: need some information and details

    All,

    While seeking to buy a new laptop, I was offered the Satellite A100-237. This laptop is T2400 / 80GB / 512MB with screen 15.4 "and ATI x 1600 video.

    I searched in the Toshiba Europe website but could not find any trace for this model. Only when I googled I found that this model is sold in South Africa.

    My questions are:
    -What is the similar model sold in Europe?
    -Is this model a new or will be interrupted?
    -Is this compatible Vista model?
    -Is this compatible Merom (Core 2 duo) model? I know that other manufacturers offer instructions and BIOS update to upgrade Yonah for Merom.
    I couldn't find this information on the Toshiba web site.

    Your help is very appreciated.

    This model is also sold in Europe (or at least in the South-Eastern and Central Europe).
    It's a new model - April or in May 2006, I think.
    He has a capable 'Vista' sticker on this subject, so I guess he can run Vista.
    In principle the Intel 945 chipset can support the Core 2 Duo with a simple update of the BIOS. The question is whether the laptop manufacturers that will provide a new BIOS.

    The build quality is very good, the only weak point in my opinion is that it comes with only 512MB. 1 GB of RAM would have been a much better companion for the T2400 and X 1600.

  • Need some information on line input/output

    Hello

    I was recording the last week of the music we played ourselves using the output of an amplifier.
    Someone noticed however, the output of this output is in the rank of milli-volts, while the line-in input of my poor laptop is more micro -v.
    Now, I'm looking for confirmation and if possible, a solution for the music of this release in my laptop.
    Also, I would like to know the technical characteristics of the line and microphone input.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I can't answer about the specifications of the ports unfortunately but I can share some experiences on the line-in input on a Toshiba computer.
    The model I have a "combined" Line-In / Mic in. Officially, it's only a mic in but works fine online.
    What needs to be taken care of, is that the sensitivity must be set almost to 0. It takes some fiddling to get the right level but finally I got it and now use it to record programs from radio for a couple of years.

    Hope this helps

  • Hello, I just need some information

    HY, I just have a few questions... First of all, I'm in a project for the creation of the Web site with streaming video. The connection to the host is bad and I need to know if the Flash media server can reconnect if the connection is lost during playback and second, is there some sort of plugin for subtitles, it is very important, if there is a positive response on these two issues, the third would be ' where I can buy it and how?

    I mean you'll need a server for broadcast in the first place - now its up to you, what your needs are. Second player with subtitle - I think as I said before that I'm not aware of anything (I'm not saying it isn't there at all or may not be developed). Third - what do you mean by reconnect - I guess say you that if the connection is lost in the customer environment must connect automatically - am I right?
