Two questions with Siri on macOS Sierra (voice quality and call sheet)
I am having several problems with Siri on macOS Sierra...
(1) the voice is of poor quality. I know that when you upgrade first, you get low quality voice until he had the opportunity to download the high quality voices, but I waited a week and even re-installed Mac OS several times, and I always get low quality voice. Even if I change voice in system preferences. I have macOS Sierra installed on my Macbook w/retina, and the voice quality is infinitely superior. Apple sugarcoat it on older Mac? I don't know that my 4-core i7 is well able to use the voice of the highest quality.
(2) when I ask him to show my business address, or ask who my brother or finance is, she is confused, as if he can't read my card contact properly. The exact same contact card works fine on iOS 10. I tried turning off the Contacts in iCloud parameters and reactivated so he would be re - download, but it continues to provide partial information of the card. For example, for addresses, they go up like OTHER and display only the city and State, even though I have a full home address listed. I disconnected and connected as my fiancee, and his works fine.
Thank you
Dave

Just a quick update - after deleting my contacts, reassignment to a new contact using "Make my contact" (which seems buggy btw - seems not stick) reinstall macOS Sierra twice, disabling iCloud, tilting and contacted him and Siri, etc. etc., it turns out that he was using a contact to my account (?) card, even if I didn't 'Calendar' selected in my Google account. I removed Google in my list of Internet accounts in Preferences system (along with a few others), and now it's using the new map that I created in iCloud. It's weird that it would give priority to my Google account on my iCloud account so much, especially since I have not yet activated contacts?
Still need to understand why the high quality voices will not download.

Siri on MacOS Sierra calls me by name different Contact form
This problem, for me, therefore, with my installation of Siri in MacOS Sierra. He is referring to me, not by my details, but by the coordinates of my wife, which is the entry is the Contacts application above me.
I was not able to get Siri to recognize my contact card as the official user, in spite that enforcement Contacts shows my entry as being "my card". Change the default contact, even to another person, makes no difference to what see Siri.
Any idea what's going on?
ICloud log and check.

reactivate the icloud and check

Hello, I know that macOS Sierra had a big problem with PDF / scanning due to an update to the pdf engine. Here we have Dell printers / scanners Dell C3765dnf Color MFP. We usually scan with Preview app (import of the device). But with macOS Sierra, the scanner scans all pages but the first page is available after the scanning process. Maybe can someone help?

Question of WebGL on macOS Sierra
I upgraded to macOs Sierra and since then, I've noticed a degradation in performance of Webgl.
I have a 13-inch early 2015 rMBP and any program I write (or open on the internet) is able to go beyond 40 fps.
I don't know if it affects OpenGL too... Am I the only one that has this problem?
I have this problem as well. I also have a 2015 13 "Macbook Pro and I can use is more TinkerCad, because it's useless now."
This should probably be posted in the Group of Sierra of macOS.

Two questions with Satellite A300-18
Well, I have a Toshiba A300-18 and when I use it for a long time, about five hours, for example, the programs seem to "freeze" and I can't work on it or open up new. Another problem is when I try to stop the laptop because the screen turns off but the lights remain and the computer didn't stop and rest as it until what I stopped it manually with the button WORKS. I tried to recover the factory values, but it stills equal.
(Sorry for my English, I'm Portuguese)
> when I use it for a long time, about five hours, for example, the programs seem to "freeze" and I can't work on it or open new ones.
It sounds like the laptop could freezes due to a higher internal temperature.
The high temperature could affect the functionality of memory and it would lead to this issue.
Please check if the vents are free of charge and ensure that there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.Conversely, the temperature can arise at a critical level if n t cooling modules work as it should in this case the technician must check the laptop!
The second questions (the screen became black) could be resolved by the BIOS updated.
So check to see if a BIOS update is available and if it is possibleBest regards and good luck

Hello Andrew
Before starting the discussion on these two issues, it will be interesting to know if your laptop is preinstalled with image of recovery provided by Toshiba. It is very important because image is put to the test and everything should work fine.

Two questions with Satellite A660-12th
Hello
I'm afraid that my English isn't the best but I think in English I get more answers, the German replies are alo ok.
I have two problems, perhaps they are connected somehow.
The first problem is that my laptop heats verry. In Windows 7 there are three options of different energies (maybe you still know) one is performance-based, so it is very hot. The second is called balanced and the third is energy saving and heat not verry, but the performance is bad. The heat is not the main problem.
The main problem is a blue screen error that happens all by working or playing sometimes :) with graphics intensive programs of verry / games. This error is much more often in the first mentioned that in the energy saving mode. I thought that it is overheating, but would then a blue screen and after blue screen the system starts new imidiately and works as ever for the next 10 minutes, if I closed the laptop and let it cool down work much more time or sometimes gets not even blue screen crash.

I use win 7 64 bitThank you.
I tried to send a German response, but the forum stopped me to do. It's the same answer in German: http://pastebin.com/3tLgyi0E
English: your problem certainly seems to be overheating of the device due to stress on the graphic chipset. Go through the basic troubleshooting steps first. Make sure you have all available Windows updates installed and the latest drivers for your hardware, you can find. If the laptop still has a valid warranty, consider contacting Toshiba to make it fixed.
Depending on how old your laptop is, you may have a problem of dust. Accumulation of dust and mud inside the laptop can prevent proper cooling, causing overheating you encounter. Consider to remove the bottom panel of the unit and spray compressed air into the radiators and fans to clean all the dirt. You can use software like SpeedFan to monitor indicators of temperature inside your laptop too.
Failing that, you can consider buying a laptop external cooler. It is a basic specialized laptop sits on to keep cool during periods of intensive treatment. Most have an extra fan that really helps to dissipate the heat.

Two questions with Equium P200-178
Hi all
I've owned my faithful * P200-178 * (PSPB2E-001002AV) for a few years now with no problems until recently. It has windows vista Home premium installed.
First of all the built-in wireless (PA3613U-1MPC) stopped working after that a "friend" he fell! The switch works ok, but the light no longer works. I reinstalled the driver and it did make a difference. A message appears saying that the wireless adapter was not installed during the installation of the software. I even tried a model from the same wireless adapter and it does not work. What is strange, it is when you use free configuration that he knows that the switch is either on or off, but can't find the adapter. The Device Manager also can not find.
Second, after that my children has uploaded an image to their homework the notebook had a nervous breakdown! I have all the latest antivirus software and check the system on a regular basis. The image has been printed and has now been removed. I used to put the laptop and turn it off with the power switch and not by windows, stop facilities. This no longer works. After lifting the lid, press the power button / nothing happens. However pressing the icon of music "in a box with 6 Sparks coming from it" (sorry for the pathetic description) the portable lights. Windows Vitsa appears and first seems to be ok. During boot a message saying:
Checking file system on \\?volume {ef *-long serial number not shown in the case its unique-806 *}
The type of file system is NTFS.
volume label is winRE.One of the drives should be checked for consistency. You
may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
that you continue
Windows will now check the disk.CHKDSK checks the files (etc, etc, etc.)
File segment 24,25,26 and 27 are unreadable, are repaired (I think that the info is too fast to read) and possibly boots. The laptop restarts now, too.
WHAT CAN I DO IF ANYTHING TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS / QUESTIONS?
Thanks in advance
Hello
In my opinion in the first case, there must be some physical damage and I do not think there is something you can do to fix it. I guess that laptop must be disassembled and port/switch WLAN must be controlled by technicians.
About second question I can not say much, but in my opinion you should back up all your important data and reinstall the OS using recovery media delivered. With clean OS preinstalled, you can test the WLAN functionality again and the functionality of the power button.
I know that this is a more radical method, but do what you will be able to test the functionality of the laptop with the State factory and without some strange files or entries in OS preinstalled.
What do you think of all this?

Two questions with new Inspiron 3847
Hello all,.
I saw some problems with our new 3847 Inspiron that I hope someone learned more I can offer some tips on. I bought the PC at Costco and it came with a keyboard and a mouse, I use the included keyboard and mouse Logitech Trackball existing. Here are the questions:
(1) the PC does not wake up mode 'sleep', when I select a key on the keyboard or click the mouse (I must have done something right that appears not to be a problem now!).
(2) when the monitor goes into sleep mode it appears that the PC is cutting the video signal to the screen but the screen is not extinguished, it displays a message 'no video Signal, check the cables.
On our old Dell, under Win XP PC, the monitor would switch to sleep mode and wake up with a combination of keys (he has been connected with a vga cable while I use a hdmi on the new PC). I checked all the settings and they seem to be well positioned and I have read the forums without success.
Mike
Always include the version of Windows in your messages.
Restart and immediately , press F2 to open the BIOS Setup. Looking for a Wake-up USB option (or something similar). This parameter must be set to "Enabled". Save changes before exiting the installer.
Depending on the version of Windows, you may need to adjust the power options in Windows to turn off the monitor after X minutes.

Satellite A200 (PSAE3E)Hello
First of all, it would be interesting to know if you have already tried to reinstall the operating system on this laptop.
I want to say that these two issues could be related to software problemsThe windows OS should receive and install Microsoft update without worries, and if this is not possible a software problem is possible.
I put t know if some important system files are confusing upward or if a register issues causes bother but I m sure that Vista should receive patches and updates correctly after reinstalling again.
Therefore, it would be desirable to test this! Before you start the recovery procedure to backup your important data!
Good luck

Two questions with Tecra S3 (strange sight and FN + F1, F2 functionality)
TECRA S3 / GeForce Go 6600 / WinXP
Hello
When you type in a document, I unintentionally hit a kind of keyboard shortcut (CTRL + FN +?, maybe CHANGE but really can not say it was). The effect was, that the resolution of 1280 x 1024 the position at 1024 x 768... no problem itself, but the Office now seems to be a little bit stretched horizontally and the fonts are very distorted - I almost can't read the text more. I changed the resolution to 1280 x 1024 in WinXP - but the "stretching" a distorted fonts are still there... Does anyone know or can tell me how this can be fixed?
Another problem - may be in contact with a solution to the duct Chassis view - is that the key shortcut [Fn] + [1] and [Fn] + [2] takes no effect when I try - just nothing happens.
Thank you very much for your ideas...
Sebastian
Hello
Have you checked the nVidia settings?
You can check the display properties > Advanced-> GeForce Go tabThere you should go into the options. I would recommend checking the Zoom option that appears in the slideshow menu on the left side
By the way; in the properties of display-> themes, you can set the background, icons and other elements to the standard settings of Windows XP. Check it!

Two questions with Satellite A60-201
I have this laptop from my uncle and he didn t gave me a cd or a book to him. Could someone help me please to find the drivers for it?
And I have another problem. Even I support with coolers under him, he still heat stopped himself.Could someone help me please?
Hello
Drivers, tools and utilities for this model mobile, you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.
It is important to choose an ARCHIVE under product type.Second problem (overheating) is specific to all the old models of laptops. You have to imagine that a lot of dust is absorbed in the notebook and all that dust will block the cooling rack. The cooling module will try to cool the material, and the result can be permanent and fast cooling fan running.
If the laptop cannot be cooled correctly the temperature of the material can reach the critical level and notebook will stop.This problem can be solved simply laptop must be disassembled and cleaned.

Hello
> The switch turns on only if I plug the laptop
What you plug in? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?
If so does that mean you can only start Notepad with AC/DC adapter?> When starting, I get a message. Insert the media. So what I do is insert a DVD into the CD drive. The movie will then play. I then turns off the computer and then open it again to windows xp start.
It's a bit confusing
When you get the message insert media?
And why you must restart the laptop to boot XP if you can play a movie before?Boyfriend sorry but it's really hard to understand. You should try to explain it in clear words and other phrases.
