about the grounding though..... i was a bit worried cos it looks like i have brass/copper 'risers' with my case. surley they conduct and shouldnt be mounted on?
That is not a problem unless there is something seriously wrong with your motherboard. (i.e. one or more of the solder points on the bottom of the board is shorting to the case)  In fact, those standoffs can actually improve the motherboards connection to ground, which is a good thing.  The little silver "pads" around the screw holes are connected to the earth or ground plane of the board.  So, "connecting" them to the case can actually improve the boards path to earth.

    It has already been stated that the Intel 805D CPU is NOT SUPPORTED and yet I just don't understand why there are still some who wants to try their luck and start pointing fingers for their own mistakes! Even for CPU that are listed under NONE, it is to say that end-users will have to try at their OWN RISK! Please read and research for your own good.

    Both ways.
    The reason for this thread is to serve as a warning as well as a Pre-Amp for those that wants to run this board with a 805D CPU.
    Let us all stop the finger pointing from this point on. No matter how much we trash on, things will still be what they are. Likewise an apple can't turn into a pineapple no matter what though both are fruits.
    If everyone does own research well, such will no happen today.

  • How Can I configure the 6024E board for reading the voltage from a source?

    Hi, I have a little problem, I want to use the 6024E board for reading voltage from a source and then display this on the monitor, and also I want to change the voltage from the output using the computer. I read the manual but I don't understand how to connect and configure the board. It is to proof that the board receive and send information.
    Thanks, sorry for my english, I'm from Mexico, if you don't understand something about my explanation tell me.

    Thank you, now I'm trying to do my project and I have another question, there are differents ways to connect the source and I choose the NRSE configuration because I'm going to use a grounded signal source... well in the manual says "The signal is then connected to the positive input of the PGIA, and the signal local ground reference is conenected to the negative input ot the PGIA. The ground point of the signal should, therefore, be connected to the AISENSE pin." I don't understand this because I only have two wires and here is talking about three connections, please help me, how do I connect the source to the board? I have the positive wire and the negative wire.... maybe is because I don't have a perfect english and I don't understand the sentence...

    I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

    Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

    First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
    HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
    But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
    If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

    Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
    Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
    Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).

    Please note this is a peer forum and Creative's Support staff do not guarantee a reply here. If your issue is urgent, you are within your warranty period and/or you do not get a fast reply here you should contact Creative Labs Technical Support.
    To contact support click the Support > Contact Customer Support link on this page.
    When contacting Creative Support by email it's important to note that you must reply to the autoresponse email you first receive, as detailed in the email itself. Also make sure to check any spam trap you have on your email system if you have not received a reply.
    It's also important if you feel that you have a bug or defect with your product to register that issue directly with support. Don't rely on the forum to raise awareness of an issue.
    2. Hot Topics
    This is dividied into 3 sections: General, Tag based players & USB mass storage players.
    Make sure to also look at Section 3, which covers some of the other General Issues.
    General
    Where do I get the latest software, drivers and firmware?
    Click the link Support > Downloads on this page.
    In general, when installing on a new PC you need to download the driver, and some software to communicate with the player e.g. MediaSource, Media Explorer. For players using the v2.xx MTP/PlayForsure firmware drivers are not necessary, but you must have Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0 (this provides the MTP driver).
    Important: Even though files are described as updates, none of the software requires a previous version to install. At worst they will prompt you to connect your player to verify you own a Creative product.
    Note if you are downloading MediaSource make sure to download and install the relevant MediaSource plugin for your player. If MediaSource can't detect your player this is the first thing to check. For the v.xx PDE firmware the plugin is called the Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin for Creative MediaSource , and for the v2 MTP/PlayForSure firmware it's called Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices .
    I am completely new to MP3 players, where should I start?
    Have a read of my Nomad Primer, so called as Creative's MP3 player range tend to be prefixed with the word Nomad.
    I think I have a bug, how can I check?
    There's a known bug list hosted at my site here. If you want to add a bug then please
    I have a wish request for the player, what can I do?
    You can post it here (see the petitions listed in Section of this FAQ), email it to support, and/or add it to the public wishlist I host here by
    I'm having connection problems with my player
    If you can, the best test is to try your player with another PC, to see if you still have the problem. This localises whether the problem is with the PC (most likely the USB) or the player. See the link below (search on "connection problems") for a lot more troubleshooting on this.
    What bit-rate should I encode my music at?
    Ultimately it's down to your ears what bit-rate you prefer, and you should listen for yourself to determine it. If you ask on the forum you'll get many different opinions.
    Make sure to look at the "MP3 vs. WMA" link below also.
    How long should my battery last?
    For the Zen and Nomad Jukebox players, to get some idea of how long your battery will last for a given bit-rate look at the battery curves thread. Ultimately battery life is dependent on how you use the player, make sure to follow the "why doesn't my battery last as long as expected?" link below.
    How long does an RMA take?
    Typically 2 weeks. But it might take a little longer, so don't start posting if it's 5 days.
    I want to know how people feel about their Zen Micro/Touch/MuVo etc.
    There's a long post titled Experience with your Creative player that has many posts from users about their players. Please search back for threads about specific players before starting a new thread.
    Where can I buy online music or get legal downloads for my player?
    See this thread.
    My tracks don't play at the correct speed e.g. they play too slowly, why?
    Chances are they are encoded in an unsupported sampling frequency. The tracks will need to be re-encoded at a supported bit-rate and/or frequency with something like Creative's MediaSource Audio Converter or dbPowerAmp.
    Can a Creative player work on an Apple Mac?
    It isn't officially supported, but some kind folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working with Macs. XNJB provides support for the Zen players, and requires OS X 0.3 or 0.4 (check the site for full details). MuVoHelper solves some problems with getting the MuVo to work optimally. The iTunes Zen plugin should support all Zen players. Note if the link to the plugin is broken just Google "iTunes Zen plugin" to find other sources. Also note there's no guarantee that these programs will work with the Mac, so if you have issues you should address your problems to the developer(s) of the relevant program.
    Can a Creative player work on Linux?
    Again it isn't officially supported, but again some kinds folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working. There's the Gnomad2 project. And don't forget the Linux forum at Nomadness.net if you are still having problems.
    Tag Based Players
    This section covers the players that use a hard disk and work using tags e.g. Zen Xtra, Touch, Micro, Sleek.
    My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?
    If the Zen is not starting properly or not behaving correctly, first try to reset it. To reset all players except for the Zen Micro there is a small switch on the side of the player typically, that you should press using something like a bent paper clip. Don't use anything sharp. To reset the Zen Micro simply remove the battery and replace it.
    If this doesn't work then access rescue mode, and try running a disk cleanup.
    Next you should try reloading the firmware/OS, but beware if you are having connection problems also with your PC you may end up with a player that has no firmware and cannot be reloaded.
    The last resort is to format the player. This will erase the contents from the player, including the content that ships with the player.
    If none of these resolve the problem and you are under warranty you should get in contact with support to arrange replacement of the player.
    If you aren't under warranty Creative will still repair the player, which you can arrange by contacting support.
    How do I do a Disk Cleanup and/or access Rescue/Recovery Mode?
    Refer to the sticky Rescue Mode thread. Disk Cleanup is accessed from this. Note that the MuVo players (with the exclusion of the MuVo? players) do not have Rescue Mode.
    How long should a Disk Cleanup take?
    It should only take a few minutes, and no longer than 30 minutes. Anything longer than this and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
    How long should a format take?
    Only a few seconds. Anything more than a minute and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
    Although I can get into Rescue Mode, I can't select any option, or the options don't work?
    If Rescue Mode is not working properly or commands can't be chosen the player is faulty. You need to contact Creative Support.
    When are the Zen 20Gb/Neeon going to be released outside of the Asia Pacific region?
    Due to popular request the Neeon is launched in the USA, but nowhere else for now. If you want the Neeon then contact your regions Customer Services to request it.
    The Zen 20Gb is available from some shops in the USA and Europe e.g. Cambridge Soundworks, and Amazon.co.uk.
    Is there a known issue with the Zen Micro headphone socket?
    Creative Support have neither confirmed nor denied it officially. Some users have posted purported emails from Creative on the forum saying that the socket has been reinforced, but these have not been confirmed by Creative Support either. The exact incidence of the problem is unknown, but newer players seem to suffer less from it.
    Should I buy the Zen Micro or Touch etc. and what colour should it be?
    We can't tell you what player to get, or what colour it should be. Look at your collection size and the features of the player (see Nomadworld.com for the product pages) and decide yourself based on this.
    Why does my Zen Micro battery drain so quickly?
    The standby time (24 hours from turn-off) for the Zen Micro seems to use a lot more power than previous Zens. Creative have released both v (..0+) and v2 (2.20.05+) firmware that reduces the standby time to 4 hours. Make sure to update to one of these if you have a draining problem.
    Also see JazzMC's detailed page on this problem.
    Why is my Zen Micro/Touch Touchpad so sensiti've and/or difficult to use?
    The Touchpads take some time to get used to.

  • Is it time for a new SSD? Please read my story, my battle with my M4 Crucial SSD

    This is whats been happening the past couple of days and what I have been doing to try and isolate what is causing my fresh win7 install to have so many issues running. IMO, i've narrowed it down to be an issue with my SSD, and not my RAM. Please read, and advise.  So I changed out my p8z68 MB and ivy bridge CPU for a new maximus VII hero and Devils Canyon Haswell cpu. After installing windows I noticed it was running sluggish and would not install updates successfully or without crashing.Over 3 attempts of reinstalling win7 64bit. The build kept crashing, failed to fix windows startup, MBR error 01 or getting the BSOD. I firt tested my RAM... I ran memtest86 with 100% pass and found and isolated that  1 of the 4 x4gb of my Black Vengeance Corsair ram had errors on it (ram is 3 years old in use). I ended up taking those out and replacing with brand new 2 x 4gb Gskill sniper sticks I had still in packaging. I re-ran Memtest86 on the new RAM just to be sure and ....no errors.  I want to emphasise that by now I've reinstalled window 3 times on this build upgrade....noticing a lot of lag, in windows after fresh install . Especially when opening programs like windows update windows  as well as other things like, device manager or even a Web browser. If I have more than one window open. My hard SSD LED on my front panel, lights up  like it's busy, browser and programs freeze or I get a program "not responding"  error, on top until I wait it out...then it disapears.  Finally I did another OS install..this time and after much research,  I made sure to run a Secure Clean All, on my Crucial M4 SSD (it too has been used for the past 3 year). I had already updated its firmware to 070H a long time ago.  I also made sure I had the most current Intel, SATA, VGA, LAN, and sound drivers were downloaded.  Durring Windows update it reached 140 of 149 updates before receiving a BSOD again even with the new ram!  After Reboot... I went in and this time before running Windows update...again, I made sure all my services were closed and did a "CLEAN" Boot to windows. Doing this finally made my system able to dowload all the updates successfuly.  Ok so now that Win7 is fully updated, I got my antivirus ..norton on. More updates, with little  issue. But I still notice while my SSD is writing, I say thats what its doing when my computers fornt panel LED is flashing, that the program / software/ game im installing freezes, until it has a chance to "Catch up" , Or install fails, or for instance dowloading patches, updated to games..they have been failing oh and just now for the second time...SKYPE has disconnected itself giving me a I/O error. So these are all my symptoms and what I've tried. To my knowlege the M4 SSD model doesnt have any kind of software to help aid in determining its health . And is why I am here now typing to you all .  Is it time to get a new SSD?? What else can I try? Thanks, Christopher.

    Hi cswann821,
    Is the system overclocked or with default clocks?
    Note that your motherboard has two SATA controllers, Intel Z97 with SATA6G_1-6 red connectors and ASMedia controller also with red connectors SATA6G_E1/2. Are you using Intel or ASMedia controlled port?
    What do you mean by 'Secure Clean All', what exactly did you do? It is probably not relevant to former issues but note that some tools do 'overwrite with zeroes'. It is not good for SSDs and works completely different than ATA command 'secure erase'.
    Check what SATA port is being used and if it is Intel make sure what driver version is in use. You can check it with Device manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers -> right click on the selected controller -> Properties -> Driver tab
    To check health of the SSD you can use CrystalDiskInfo. Please post SMART data of the drive - use 'Edit > Copy' option, just please remove drive's serial number.

    list is too huge and it's highly difficult to elaborate them here :-) 
    We understand that this scope and purpose can be a little confusing, we apologize for any confusion.
    If you might not know the scope or purpose of this forum, we'll redirect you to read this thread if we need
    to explain how this forum works.
    Out of Scope:
    Queries on following (but not limited to…) are Out of scope in this forum.
    Scripting

    We might (but do not claim to) answer some of the out of scope questions directly here. If we do,
    then it's just a Bonus ! and it's not the purpose or in the scope of what this forum provides.
    Moving Threads:
    It may happen that, your question might have been moved to this forum in an attempt by another moderator from
    a different forum to help you find the correct forum or we might move your threads to an appropriate forum as and when necessary.
    If a community member gave you the URL/link of a specific Technet forum, then you may request a move to that
    specified forum (If a link to the forum category is specified; you'll still need to pick a specific forum from that category) or thread will be moved to the appropriate forum if a Moderator is around.
    NOTE:
    We cannot move a thread to another Microsoft forum that's not in the TechNet Forum System such as ASP.net,
    IIS.net and Answers.Microsoft.com etc… So we can only provide links to those forums.
    Marking Answers:
    We propose a reply (such as a link about where to go ask your question) to a recent question as an answer,
    and then we will usually wait one week (~7 days) before we mark it as the answer. We prefer you (the Asker/OP - Original Poster) to mark the answer, but we do not require it if you abandon the thread for a long time.
    If you (the Asker/OP - Original Poster) refuse to let us propose and mark an answer (without telling us why
    and helping us figure out the alternatives/workarounds), then we might need to lock a thread or move it to the Off Topic forum.

  • How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

    Hi,
    I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
    For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
    I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
    folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
    [relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
    [absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.
