• Incredibly slow to boot from Mavericks Dreamweaver

  Hello

  Since the update to the Mavericks (10.9.0 13A Build 603), Dreamweaver CC (13.1 Build 6443) has become incredibly slow to start.

  When I look at the newspaper, there is this line:

  23/10/2013 17:47:52.426 Dreamweaver [3276]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "Proxima Nova Semibold" and got fonts with PostScript "ProximaNova-Semibold" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

  Repeat with each font that I installed on my system. for example:

  23/10/2013 18:49:07.538 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name 'Libyan SC' ordinary and got fonts with PostScript 'STLibian-SC-Regular' name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

  23/10/2013 18:49:07.574 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "PT Serif Caption" and got fonts with PostScript "PTSerif-Caption" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

  23/10/2013 18:49:07.576 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "Helvetica Neue Medium Italic" and got fonts with PostScript "HelveticaNeue-MediumItalic" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

  After that he went through all the fonts on my system finally, Dreamweaver will then start.  Has anyone another considering somewhere else or have a fix?

  Thank you

  Hello dean_siteglide,

  We already have a bug connected to investigate performance related messages in the console for Dreamweaver.

  We could not reproduce the problem of slowness. Launch of Dreamweaver works without any performance degrade compared to the 10.8 same with these messages in the console.  Can you please provide more information on how long it takes to load Dreamweaver and what hardware you are running 10.9 in.

  Kind regards

• My iMac can boot from an external drive?

  Hello

  I have an iMac 21.5 "Mid 2010 which starts to show its age with slowness. However, I plan to upgrade the Basic 4 GB of Ram either 8 GB or 16 GB of Ram, depending on price... and my main question.  I know that the Mac came initially with a 500 GB hard drive and I would also like to upgrade to an SSD because they make a world of difference from what I've heard, but I don't have the level of skill tech to do the steps together 20-30. I wonder, as I have a 1 TB USB SSD externally, if I could install a new version of Mac OS X on the SSD USB and then set it as my boot drive and just keep still plugged. Would this work or startup disk must be internal rather than external via USB?

  Your iMac can be set to boot from an external drive. Just install OS X on the SSD and SSD drive as your boot disk in System-> startup disk Preferences.

• If I install 10.11.6 on my iMac I will be able to boot from an external hard drive with and OS earlier?

  If I install 10.11.6 on my iMac (model identifier: iMac12, 2 name of the processor: Intel Core i5 speed processor: 3.1 GHz)

  will I be able to boot from a drive external firewire with and the older operating system? Or El Capitan will not allow this as I said can occur. Can't risk a "pourrait".

  Thank you

  There should be no problem. Your iMac is come with Snow Leopard as well as or any subsequent OS should work. Note however, that once started from SL, your interior with El Capitan would be is no longer recognized as a boot device in the preferences > startup disk because Snow Leopard does not have logical volume by car Group organization. You need to restart with the Option key pressed down, calling the Boot Manager.

  If you have problems, you might consider to make the connection via the USB port.

• Booting from an external HHD

  I have an i5 3.2 GHz 27 "iMac Intel, 32 GB of memory with 1 TB HD running OS10.11.3, would I win anything by booting from a 240 GB HHD in El Capitan?

  Probably not.  Connections of external drives tend to be slower than for internal drives.  even if the outside was SSD you would probably lose any benefit from the higher speed of the drive.

• Cannot boot from CD - Pavilion 513n

  I try to put a new OS (Linux) on a Pavilion 11 year 513n with Windows XP, which has slowed to a crawl.

  I put the OS installation DVD (and CD other operating systems) in the DVD/CD drive. I set the BIOS to boot first from the CD and off to quick start. It always starts Windows XP on the hard drive.

  BIOS recogonizes model of CD/DVD drive, and windows can read files on CD and DVD. The boot on my laptop disks.

  Which setting I'm missing?

  F1 made me BIOS. F10 gets me to the Recovery Manager. Tried the keys "F" all12. The computer is so old, it does not seem a time Boot Manager.
  
  It turns out that the boot order lists CD first, but the secondary road captain has been set to NONE no CD. Oops. Once this setting has been fixed, it was possible to boot from the CD.
  
  Its odd that windows can read files off the drive the BIOS said has not been installed.
  
  Thanks for the help.

• Portege R500-12 s - problem of recovery (Boot from USB)

  Hello

  I tried several days reinstall this laptop (Toshiba PORTÉGÉ R500-12 s). I reinstall drive, but it has no CD-ROM included, so I'm fighting with booting from the USB port, with my external hard drive. Those that the BIOS loads even boot from USB? Because there is no alternative USB inside the boot priority. I noticed that I can choose from, what I think is alternative of different startup in start up, when I press the F12 key. When I press the F12 key and choose USB, I just pup up to a similar cmd command line.

  Reinstall is the only option because my laptop is super slow, and I have no restore file (CD) on my laptop

  Ultimately is it possible to reinstall windows via USB boot, or do I have to buy an external CD-ROM drive? Which is the last thing I want to do. Advice or assistance on how I'm going to do this?

  Thanks in advance :-)

  I put t know if this is possible, but if you can visit Toshiba service in your city, ask them for help. They have all the external devices and also external optical drive.
  Buy a coffee and ask if they can install just image recovery using your recovery DVDs. I m that they will help you with this.

  By the way: you can not install OS using the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. Laptop can't see it.
  What you need is the optical disk drive.
  Also, try to borrow a somewhere.

• Equium A100 - unable to boot from the bootable disc

  Equium A100-549

  My son s partner has a 2 year old Toshiba which has become slow over time. I had done a backup of the system with office installed etc using Acronis. Anyway, decided to rid running Acronis and recorded image. The program runs normally, and he falls down to a denial of service as the ready to restore screen. It is then with the cursor flashing as usual and then it crashes, and doesn't allow you to access the image.

  I am that it can be altered, so reinstalled Acronis. Make an Acronis boot disk to run the image, and he does not take into account the disk boots directly to the normal hard drive (IDE 0) still no joy. Then I tried the restore of laptops disc. In the BIOS, I said peripheral CD as everything first and also the restore disc says place in the drive and turn off.

  While it starts up press F12, which brings a menu allowing you to boot from the CD drive. I did, but it doesn t appear to look at the CD and just load windows from the HARD drive. I removed the CD for system devices and rebooted. He found and added the new device to herself and asked to reset. Still no joy!

  Scanned with Norton, but still not good. Norton removal. The result is the same. Able to read the CD and also write to it as well. Diagnosis Toshibas ran on the unit and everything seems ok with it.

  Tried to make a bootable flash stick on floppy, but it is ignored, well specified the amorçage using other devices.
  Basically, it seems that I can t get it to watch prior CD onto the HARD drive.

  Flashing the BIOS would heal it? -Registry error causes this?

  Y at - it everywhere where I can talk to someone from Toshiba about this?

  Any info / help much appreciated

  Hello Nick

  Put the delivered device DVD recovery DVD and turn on the laptop. Press the C button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the DVD, and I hope that you will be able to use the DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

  If possible, test it with some other bootable CD installations. Please post the results.

• Boot from CD on Tecra M2

  Hello!

  I have a big problem, I have recently purchased a 2nd hand Tecra M2 and now I can't boot from the CD. I had with installed "Windows XP Home Edition". Because it was full of craps (slow, full of pictures, documents... etc.) I wiped them immediately. To be more precise I reinstalled Windows XP. However! I do not have a restore CD with my laptop, so I used a CD of win we have at the office.

  To boot from the CD, I scored just good thing in 'Start' > 'Toshiba' > 'Tools' > 'control center (or something similar). However! There is no such thing now here!

  I don't know what to do. I downloaded all the drivers on the web, I installed it, but I don't know why I don't have this ability to change the boot device...

  I'm used to Linux (pants on the desktop) and I wanted to try it on my laptop, that's why I posted this message here.

  Help, please!

  Concerning
  Tom

  Sorry for my English, I'm not native.

  Sorry for my question but what you are looking for?
  You want to boot from the CD/DVD drive? If Yes, why you n t change the order of boot in the BIOS?
  You can also boot from the disc by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

  Ps: If you want to have an OS that works without any problem, you must install the drivers of Toshiba in the right order.
  Now you ask-> how the hell is a good order?

  On the Toshiba driver page I found an installation instruction. Just follow this guide line

• Satellite A200 - cannot boot from the recovery disc - code 1

  I have Vista business and my laptop is running slow and is full of rubbish.
  I have in the past used my drive recovery to completely re - install vista and start from a fresh version.

  However, I tried this once and it says that it cannot boot from cd - code 1.

  Can someone tell me what it is and how to reinstall vista?

  Hmm. strange.
  Are you sure you have the right recovery disk?
  Are you abele to boot using another drive as MS Win XP CD or Linux CD bootable?

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
  Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

  First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
  Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

  From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
  I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
  Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
  I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

  In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
  This means a failing drive?
  What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

  By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
  The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

  Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

  When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

  Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

  Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
  You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

  If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
  One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

  > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

  > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

  As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

  > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

  The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

• Not possible to boot from the CD after installing Win XP on Tecra A3

  Hi all

  I can't boot from the CD more? I tried following things:
  -J' used several CDs to boot from, such as Windows XP, other CD CD WinXP or UBCD (ultimate Boot CD) and others to boot from.
  -J' chose in the start menu and the Bios first, the CD player must be started from.
  -Disabled the HARD, the LAN and the FDD drive so that only the CD must be started from, nothing else.
  -Press F12 after start-up und selected CD to boot from.
  -removed the battery
  -removed the disk drive HARD that the CD is only peripheral to start.
  -No available recovery disk.
  * Result: Always at top left corner a cursor flashing on a black ecran.*

  My story to this problem/question.
  -J' reinstalled Windows XP after the system became slow, with SP2 and SP3.
  -During the installation of SP3 and at the same time other pilot the system crashed.
  -Pressing F8 after starting, I can choose the Options to win.
  -System running days, several days without any reaction.
  -Sometimes, it goes into "secure mode" and freezes, no entry or possible reaction.

  I want to install Windows XP again from the CD and a clean version to work on.
  That means no two were leaving to work on alone.

  Can someone tell me why the CD player is with any media ignored inside and no departure from them is possible?

  Thanks for your help

  A strange question what s
  I put t know, but you did an update of the BIOS? Try it!

  Moreover, what laptop Tecra A do you have?

• cannot boot from Recovery HD

  I asked a question before, but my description was not detailed enough. As part of an attempt to deal with the issues described below, I discovered that I couldn't boot from the HD Recovery. If I have to do a clean reinstall of the operating system, I don't want to take the risk by using fksk. Here are the details

  Slow performance

  (1) the starting time: 3 min (of gong at the end of the progress bar)

  (2) departure time for applications 1.5 to 4 min

  (a) Mathematica 01:22, 01:40, iTunes 01:48, Firefox mail, 03:57

  Disk utility is no problem to start normal b at startup

  Reset SMC improves the start time for applications, but not for the start

  Remaining problems

  (1) tent to boot from Recovery HD failed.

  Maintain command-R on startup until the Apple icon (2 min) after additional 2 min gong sounded and the computer started normally.

  (2) Once restarted, SystemProfile wouldn't start properly. Reported missing components. This has been fixed by several reboots of the system profile.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

• T430s: boot from an external USB DVD drive

  I wanted to change the boot sequence to boot from external DVD drive to install Win8. To access the BIOS I hit Enter (empty password I guess) but in the BIOS everything is grey: I can't make changes. What is going on?

  @kaja69...

  Rich said, you have a set supervisor password and Jin Li said, there is no default password.

  For more information on the different passwords at the BIOS level, please consult your T430s Hardware Maintenance Manual (manuals pages 36-38).

  By Community rules, discussion of passwords is a sensitive area and can risk one slows down, so please keep that in mind if/as this discussion progresses.
