Another problem with soundworks 740 cd radio.Speakers this t

Hi all,I experienced the problem already listed about this unit accepting a second cd when it already has one. Initially I was told to turn the unit upside down on my knee and bounce it up and down whilst pressing the eject button :smileyvery-happy:-This DID work!! at least for a couple of occasions then I finally had to send it off and had a replacement sent. My problem at the moment is that this replacement(which worked fine for 8 months,outside warranty now)has suddenly stopped producing any sound.Nothing with either cd or radio,no hiss or crackle or faint sound-nothing.Has anyone had this problem and did anyone fix it themselves or get someone local to do it'sI contacted creative labs and because it was out of warranty their only offer was to send it back for a service at a cost of ?94! +postage.You can pick one up for roughly that amount new off e-bay at the moment. I think I'm going to stop buying STUFF because it always breaks down-I'm going to li've in the woods in a tent with just the dawn chorus as a musical background,but?knowing my luck?they'll probably all get bird flu!

Hi Muskrat,
Sadly ?I am experiencing the same problem with the speakers of my two and a half year old Radio CD740?as you had. Almost overnight the sound completely disappeared and I found the only way to hear anything was to use ear phones, which defeated the object - good stereo sound,?supposedly to compete with Bose. The unit has had little use and I do not believe the fault?has been caused by misuse or even normal wear and tear, it is obviously some weakness in the design.
I have contacted Creative and they just don't want to know, in fact they sent me a link to a reconditioned Radio CD 745 on their web site. :angry:
Just wondering if you ever found a solution to the problem (apart from binning it!), and if you did, can you help?

    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?

  • Another problem with SOAP sender

    I have another problem with SOAP scenario in a different environment (PI 7.0) from my earlier post.
    Scenario:
    Soap Sender -> PI -> Soap Receiver
    Following steps from GoogleSearch SOAP scenario in the SAP How-to Guide for SAP NetWeaver '04 entitled: "How To... Use the XI 3.0 SOAP Adapter" version 1.00 - March 2006.
    I have loaded in the api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl file as an External definition and created the SOAP receiver as described in the How-to guide.  It takes a doGoogleSearch as input and sends back a doGoogleSearchResponse (Sync Call). 
    Note that the GoogleSearch.wsdl contains a complex type ResultElementArray that refers to ResultElement\[\], and a DirectoryCategoryArray that refers to DirectoryCategory\[\].  The ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types are defined in the GoogleSearch.wsdl file.
    Problem One:
    The generated WSDL for the SOAP sender contains the ResultElementArray and DirectoryCategoryArray types but it DOES NOT contain the required ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types.  XML Spy complains that this WSDL is not valid because the type ResultElement\[\] is not defined.
    Problem Two:
    I generate a SOAP message in XML Spy, provide values for the doGoogleSearch fields, and send.  In SXMB_MONI, the SOAP sender payload contains only the <key> value from the doGoogleSearch message body, i.e. <part name="key" type="xsd:string" />
    The other doGoogleSearch fields seem to be missing, i.e.
      <part name="q" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="start" type="xsd:int" />
      <part name="maxResults" type="xsd:int" />
      <part name="filter" type="xsd:boolean" />
      <part name="restrict" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="safeSearch" type="xsd:boolean" />
      <part name="lr" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="ie" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="oe" type="xsd:string" />
    Does anyone know why:
    (1) PI/XI seems to leave out the ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types from the SOAP sender service WSDL file?
    (2) The doGoogleSearch message seen in SXMB_MONI contains only the first <key> field, and not the other fields?
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Problems with Photoshop CS2
    I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
    This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
    when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
    When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
    Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

    Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • Problem with External 2.1 digital speakers

    Anybody have any problems with external digital speakers connected to the SPDIF connection?  I have a 1215-600XT, and I tried connecting my old DELL Boston Acoustic 2.1 speakers.  They worked, but any time a "sound" played, a loud pop would follow the end of the sound track.  If its multiuple sounds (i.e. an application that is making numerous alert sounds) I get multiple pops.  It even happens at the endf of music tracks.  It was so annoying, I stopped using the speakers.  before I invest in another set of speakers, want to know I am not wasting my time.
    Also, anyway of getting the soundcard to support digital 2.1 or other sound?  The set-up screen only shows stereo for external speakers and no way of adding more.
    Sincerely
    Scott

    pmoney,
    If you need a RMA, you will need to contact Customer Support either via email or phone. Also, it may be a fault with the sub and not just the cable alone, anyway contact Customer Support and they will be able to assist further.

  • Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

    Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

    Hi Emlou,
    If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
    It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
    Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
    Thanks!
    Paul

  • (Another) Problem with HP Photosmart - reinstallation

    I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One and a MacBook Pro, with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    Scenario this morning:
    The printer will photocopy, but there is no connection between the printer and the computer, it is not a problem with the usb cable connection. The computer will not send anything to the printer to print, and the scanner will not end anything to the computer.
    I repaired permissions using disk utility at least three times this morning. (I do it fairly often anyway).
    Scenario now:
    I have now uninstalled the software, using the HP uninstall programme, but then deleted the remaining items manually as instructed in the section on the HP site for Macs and uninstallation. I have also emptied the trash.
    Sadly however, it has made absolutely no difference. Whenever I put the installation disk into the CD drive, I can only get as far as identifying the printer. There are no printers listed, and when I tick the box, it comes up with Photosmart C5200 Series, which is correct. But the next continue box is then greyed out. (I'm wondering if following the HP instructions was such a good idea now).
    I am now stuck. I have uninstalled and can not reinstall. I have used these two together for the past year (or more) without any problems. When I initially installed, it worked fine. No problems at all. I have not recently changed any software or upgraded anything on the OS. The two were communicating last week, when I did some scanning and printing.
    Confession: I had the first problem (no scanning/printing) a couple of weeks ago, and decided to look in trash to see if I had mistakenly got rid of something and found an hp file in there. Pulled it back out. All worked fine again. But today, total blip, and no hp files in trash.
    I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution. I'm capable of following instructions. Oh, I have mailed Hp, but I've had no response so far. I have also looked through the stuff on here, but haven't found a similar problem, ie the connection just disappears into the ether.

    I had a response from HP:
    1) Was the printer powered on? It needs to be turned on.
    2) Was the USB plugged directly from the back on the printer to the Mac? You are not using a hub, airport or a USB cable more than 10 feet long?
    3) Power cycle the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 10-15 seconds and reconnect the cord. Power on the printer. Was it found?
    4) If not, restart the Mac. Once you are back up, if the HP setup Assistant does not automatically launch you can launch it by clicking on Hard Drive > Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Utilities or Device Utilities > HP Setup Assistant. Double click to launch. Was it found?
    5) If not, plug the USB cable into a different port on the computer. Was it found?
    6) If the printer is still not found, check the system profiler for the device. Click on the Blue Apple in the upper left corner, then About this Mac. On the next screen click on More Info. On the System Profiler screen, click on USB under Hardware. On the right is the printer found under USB device tree?
    7) Another thing we need to check is when you installed the software did you select the correct device. The newer printer software may contain multiple products. If you did not select the correct device during the install, the computer is looking for a different device and not finding it. To check this, run the HP uninstaller. Open Hard Drive> Applications > Hewlett-Packard > HP Uninstaller. When you get to uninstall selected device, what printer is listed. If it is not you model series, run the uninstaller. Quit the uninstaller when complete, disconnect the USB cable and restart. When you back to the desktop, empty the trash, and reinstall the software. Wait for the option to select your device!
    I want to be sure the troubleshooting steps I provided resolve the issue. If the issue continues, please reply to this message with the results. We will be glad to assist you further.
    It was not unreasonable, but I had checked the box that said Intermediate (level of computer knowledge) - so I thought asking me if the printer was turned on/checking the ports/ etc etc was a little basic.
    However on browsing this forum for similar probs I noticed a reference to Printer Setup Repair (it may have been one of your suggestions BDAqua to a different problem) so downloaded it for a free trial. Although I regularly verify and repair permissions with disk utility, I tried with Printer Setup Repair, and got this message:
    Monday, December 15, 2008 12:16:04

    Done.
    Verification complete.
    837 files examined. No problems were found.
    11 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
    That message would explain why, the last time I had a problem, it was resolved with reinstalling OS X. What I don't understand is why a file suddenly disappears? Perhaps I need to move my queries to one about OS X? (I have OS X on my other Apple and no probs there.)
    Anyway, thank you for your responses and if you have any further advice or suggestions, I would be happy to hear.
