Who recommends A300 or A500?

Hello, I am most recent

I have a toshiba satellite pro M70 about 4 years, and I never had any problems, but now I want to buy a new another toshiba. "" My screen is the typical 15.4 ", I see that the a300 its 15.4" and less powerful than the a500, it is 16 "and more powerful. Also, I see that the newset a500 have ddr3 memory.

I don't know if the a500 so big its like my 15.4 than i have, that this is the best option? A500 is newer than the a300 or a model 16 "only? What is recommended, money is not the problem for these 2 models, but I see a300 is more chepar. I want one laptop for others 4 years.

Thank you.

Hello

First of all that I have to say that I only have Satellite A300 and friend of me bought new A500 which is newer you already said.

Satellite A500 is the more recent model equipped with faster and more recent material. In addition, it has a 16 screen is a little bigger from the A300. The A500 has a new design, but there is no significant difference in physical size. The two models are similar, only check the technical data on the Toshiba page.

Of course, it of your choice what you buy, but I prefer the new A500. I love the new design and it is very new material.
But A300 is also good for laptop, but not the most recent. ;)

  • Can satellite L350-159 - I install a graphics card?

    Hello everyone, I have a friend to check what graphics card, I had the other day, I play the games and noticed that the graphics are not fantastic. He checked and then told me that I don't actually have a proper graphics card!

    I'd be happy to address them, but is possible to enter the laptop to install a graphics card? and if so, what type of graphics card would you recommend? Some are big enough, and I'm not sure that they could fit. I noticed a few panels on the bottom of my laptop which can be unscrewed - one of those which lead to a place to put a graphics card?

    Thanks for the help,
    Michael

    The problem is that the L-series is not designed for games.

    The graphics card is an Intel GMA X 3100, which means that the graphics chip is attached to the motherboard.
    There is no separate in this model graphics card, and the integrated graphic card cannot be replaced.

    The only solution would be to sell this laptop and buy a model to higher return with an ATI or nVidia graphics chip, for example the Satellite P300 or P500 or maybe series A300 or A500.

  • Does anyone have a CONCISE answer to the catastrophe of adobe_flash_setup?

    Unfortunately, I got caught by the Adobe_flash_setup disaster. At the beginning it was not too bad, but now, if I open Firefox with ANY web browser and then simply click on the window of the browser search I had up to nine windows or tabs pop up. I did everything what I found online. I have cleared things out of the registry, I ran all kinds of adware detectors. I finally bought reimage since Mozilla suggested that it was a way to fix it. I paid the money, the program lasted almost half a day and claims to have done a lot of things but, after reinstalled the reimage Windows removed 97 updates, I pulled to the top of Firefox and get always the same shit.

    Inernet Explorer works well on my machine, I have to use Firefox is totally impossible to use at this stage. I hope someone can come up with a REAL answer and send me an email. My next option is to clean the machine, reinstall Windows and start over.

    I'm not familiar with reimage. Who recommended only? Usually, we offer free software solutions here on the forum.

    It sounds as if your system is not clean. You could:

    Without launching Firefox:

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the surface elements undisclosed bundle which snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) supplement to your regular security with several scanning/cleaning tools software listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe by holding down SHIFT key when starting Firefox. A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not Refresh). Then:

    (3) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
      firefox.exe "about:addons"

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. So, if in doubt, remove, if possible, extensions not recognized and unwanted.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    (4) check your Firefox connection settings here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

    The default "Use system proxy settings" should follow the settings of IE, but you can also try the 'no proxy '.

    Any improvement?

  • Safari has slowed to a crawl.

    Not sure if it started with updates of Yosemite or the latest version of Flash Player, but it seems to be deteriorating. It is especially noticeable when I try to check my email (www.mail.com). It is designated as my opening page, but if you connect brings me to this page, access my email takes forever. The same is true if I type in the address of the server manually.

    Firefox also recognizes my login immediately, information while Safari makes me keep trying again and again.

    I don't know how long contributions to open later, because after what looks like a reasonable length of time, if I switch to Mozilla Firefox, access to my mail is immediate then, after a quick check for new messages, if I go back to Safari, it is finally open.

    I already started to remove items (such as cookies on the sites that I visit rarely... passwords that I use more... and the story that is more than a year, but none of this seems to help).

    I don't know if the current update of browser everything is better, but after my experience with Yosemite, I'm hesitant to try.

    I've been a Mac user for quite a long time to remember when you remove plists was an easy fix for most problems.  Had all but forgotten about it until I read an answer to a MacUser who recommended as a solution to a specific problem, but which have delayed looking for and removing Safari plist to what I don't know that it will not worsen.

    Restart Safari by holding down the SHIFT key. If you still have problems of Caches empty (Safari menu > Preferences > privacy > remove all data from the Web site.) (This will also remove the history) If the problem persists, download and run MalwareBytes.

  • Cannot turn on FileVault 2: "some disc formats do not support the recovery partition" version of the OS - 10.11.4

    Hello

    I went to turn on FileVault encryption for the first time, and when I click on restart (by FileVault guests) I got a error message that says "FileVault can not be enabled for the drive. Some disc formats do not support the required encryption recovery partition. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS x on a reformatted drive. »

    I found an article from apple support for this problem with El Capitan who recommended first aid running in disk utility.  I tried this but then received the same error message.

    a little history:

    -Mac OS 10.11.4 installed running on the brand/model ADATA SP 550 SSD

    -This SSD is a 250 GB drive partitioned into two, with one of these partitions being my OS

    -J' ran this BONE of a Bay external thunderbolt

    -ssd is formatted as HFS journaling +.

    I am really confused about this error message and couldn't find much online about it.  I use a fairly recent OS install.  I installed the operating system clean and made all my preferences and install so that I can encrypt and then back up this pristine OS environment in time machine so that I could always go back to it on the line in case where things are bunk too upward.  I'd have to install yet another OS to clean and do all my long software installs and system preferences settings... SIP.  I don't know if that makes a difference, but this version of the OS that I have been cloned by superduper to this SSD partition.

    What is the brand of SSD that I?  Might that matter?  I appreciate all the comments.  I'm really scratching my head...

    Thank you very much

    To enable FileVault, you need a recovery partition, which you don't have. You can create one by reinstalling OS X.

    If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

    Related support article refers to OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions.

    Hello

    I've never upgraded RAM before so I would just check that I have made the right choice please.

    According to this install memory in an iMac - Apple Support , I can get this 2 GB or 4 GB RAM SO-DIMM SDRAM DDR3 1333 MHz memory in each slot.

    I tried to find out who recommended to provide RAM and macsales.com seem to prevail. Can anyone recommend someone to the United Kingdom?

    Anyway, they say that I can go for that 16.0 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 PC3-10600 1333 MHz SO DIMM 204-pin SO-DIMM CL9 Memory Upgrade Kit

    Check with Crucial, they should be available in the United Kingdom and only get their certified Mac RAM.

  • TrueSuite Fingerprint Software me lock out of my files!

    Help!

    I use the TrueSuite Access Manager very happy five months for some of my files important protect from prying eyes. Suddenly, today, when I try to "unprotect" them, I get a message saying "Invalid"File Protection Key"". The fingerprint reader works fine and TrueSuite Access Manager accepts my footprint quite happy.

    I am using Windows XP Pro. The only things that have happened since I last accessed files successfully was a download Microsoft Tuesday last week and my Norton Internet Security 2008 installation.

    I really hope you guys can help ' cos I need to access these files.

    Steve

    PS, I tried to restore to a previous system restore point, but they all fail...

    Well, here is where I have to this day...

    The TrueSuite Access Manager is provided by AuthenTec, but is actually just a rebadged version of the Password of ABIG software. The site Web of TrueSuite disappeared off the internet (although you can find one or two references to the fact that there were once). AuthenTec or ABIG offer any support whatsoever. So the only source of help is Toshiba...

    I traced the beginning of my woes to an application error logged in the log of the events of Win XP - fingerprint software didn't. The description of the error says only: "prints notifier Application digital Suite has encountered a problem and needs to close." Large. The application error has somehow broken the link between fingerprints recorded and the key used to 'protect' all my files. Even having a back-up fingerprints was useless, because that was the link between the fingerprint identification system and the file system of Windows that was broken, not fingerprint information...

    I rang the Toshiba help line, who recommended to download and install the latest drivers. What I've done. It made no difference.

    I managed to roll back to Windows to a date earlier than the application error (the problem I had before which prevented me to restore the system to an earlier date was caused by Norton internet Security, a "known" feature). But even once it made no difference.

    So where am I today? TrueSuite has lost the connection between my fingerprints and the key that he used with the file system Windows to protect my files, I was in turn locked out of all files. I can't access, copy, move them or delete them, BACK or Win XP. Toshiba recommendation is to use the provided with the laptop recovery disks and to reinstall Windows XP from scratch. Of course this will not return me my information, but at least it will remove all unnecessary files and free up the space occupied by them!

    Lessons to be learned - if you use TrueSuite to protect your files, think twice. If you want to continue to do so, back up all your files before protecting them. Of course, the backup version of the file will not be protected fingerprint (bat rather the object of the exercise, is not...)

    Good luck.

  • Tecra A3X-112: Fn + F1... Touch pad to work stoppage

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Tecra A3X-112 on which Windows XP has been recently reinstalled.
    I installed Windows XP before with other different copies, but this is the first time that I've known a few misadjustments.

    My problem is that the combined with F1, F2... Fn keys stopped working, as well as Assist bottom on top of the keyboard.
    In addition, the touchpad works, but I cannot turn it off.

    I've been looking at the posts of some other users, and it seems that it is a problem to download the proper drivers from Toshiba Web page.

    My question is: what drivers for the keys?

    a. for * Fn + function keys * should I intalled * utilities * or * Hotkeys utility for display devices? * There are even some users who recommend to installed a BIOS update or a common Module driver, but I'm not sure about this. By installing the appropriate driver, are all combinations FN + function keys work, or only some of them?
    b. for * Touch Pad *, should I intalled only * Touch Pad on / off utility * or * Touch Pad Driver * is also necessary?
    c. for * help the bottoms? *

    Send me the answers, please.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    The features of FN keys depend on several different factors. As a first step, it is important to have installed common modules. She is named for the other Toshiba designed tools and utilities.
    Just for example: for the use of the keys FN + F2 (standby power options), you need to install modules common and tool watch.
    While the first step I recommend to install common modules again.
    When you are finished, check the functionality of the FN and post the result.

    For FN + F9, you need to install TOSHIBA Touch Pad on / off Utility. Before that, it must be installed ALPS Pointing - device Driver.
    You know, it's not easy to simply offer a solution to this. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in order to good facilities. After having done that, everything should work well.

    One thing, to help buttons try with TOSHIBA controls again.
