Any way of turning the Zen Vision:M screen backlight off

I've just bought a Zen Vision:m, which is fantastic apart from one thing. The backlight for the main screen doesn't turn off after a few seconds, only the lights behind the buttons do. You can reduce the brightness of the screen, but that's about all.
I just wondered if there's a way to get it to turn off after a few seconds, or if there's an option that I've missed somewhere?

Once the player is playing slide the power switch to lock position and the display turns off.

  • Is there any way to get a Zen Vision:M on a M

    I'm switching over to a Mac, and although i'll still have my PC, it will just be easier to use my Zen on my Mac. Is there any way to get the Zen Vision:M to work on a Mac? 3rd party software maybe? Any suggestions?

    I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

    The light cannot be turned off, but if you stop by at the office supply store and get a sheet of small 1/2" white routnd labels, you can place a few over the light to dim it significantly. Add more labels as needed to adjust for the brightness level you want to achieve.
    Of course, you could use a piece of tape, but the white labels look much nicer and won't be noticeable once you get 4-5 feet away from the device.

  • TS4006 My kid misplaced her iPad, we can't find it for almost three months already. It is connected to our other iDevices by 'Find My iPhone/ Mac' and the iPad show still offline until now. Is there any way to find the last location before it was off ?

    Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.

  • Is there any way to turn the low battery warnings off for my Mighty Mouse?

    I noticed a pop-up warning on start-up when my battery life reached two bars for my new wireless Mighty Mouse. Also the battery sign kept on flashing in my menu bar.
    I was wondering if there was a way of turning these warnings off, save uninstalling the Apple software, or should I just change batteries and not worry about getting as much use as I can out of my current pair.
    I've also turned off "show bluetooth status in menu bar" in mouse preferences but it keeps on turning on at startup and it doesn't seem to get rid of the low battery indicator flashing on and off in the menu anyway.
    (And would turning off system events as a login item disable the startup warning?).
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hello Paul:
    My own experience is that when the warning pops up (regardless of the yellow bars), you need to change the batteries. In my case I use rechargeable 2500 mAh batteries and an Energizer recharger that charges AA and AAA batteries in 15 minutes.

  • Any way to dock the ZEN without it charging every ti

    I wish I could make the player not charge itself everytime I connect it to the PC. This will kill the battery in the long run. Most of the time at least, it is good for such batteries to completely use them up and then fully charge them. Partial charging all the time is really bad, and I am uploading new songs to the ZEN all the time. So does anybody know a way to upload songs without charging the player?

    The memory problem issue is not relevant in today's time and age although it is not a bad idea to fully discharge the battery at least once a month.
    As to your issue, I believe the player is made to charge each time you plug in the player provided it is not already fully charged. Since the advise was to plug the Zen directly to the USB port or through a self-powered hub, you might want to go against that and if you have a non-self powered USB hub to try plugging the Zen through there. This way, the non-self powered hub would probably not supply enough current to charge the Zen but probably just enough to recognize it. I have not tried that but it is worth the experiment if you have one of those usb hub lying around.

  • Is there any way to turn the phone back to firmware 4.2 or can anyone help with my problem of no sound

    Ever since I downloaded update 4.3, I don't have any external sound from the speakers.  The phone rings fine and some sounds like the clock alarm works,
    However I don't have any sound from any game app or apps like Pandora, I-Heart Radio etc.  All apps work fine, when an external headset is plugged in.
    I keep getting a message that says "THIS ACCESSORY IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR THIS IPHONE.   YOU MAY EXPERIENCE NOISE CAUSED BY CELLULAR INTERFERANCE AND A DECREASED IN CELLULAR SIGNAL STRENGTH.
    I took the phone to the local Apple store and they said that it was the external phone jack.  However when I took the phone in for repair, the technican said that it was a software problem.
    I tried restoring my phone and it did not help.  The repair tech said that I need to restore the software to a PRE 4.3 to verify that this will fix the problem.
    The sound works fine when I plug in an external headset.  The sound bars show up on the front screen.  However when I remove the headphone, The sound bars no longer show up on the screen.

    I have a similar issue. Sound works okay but keep getting the app not optimized, you may experience a decrease in celluar strength. Verizon says it is a software issue. Apple says it is a hardware. Phone will niot synch to itunes to do any kind of reset.

  • Any way to change the ZEN (not Zen) background images to my o

    title says it all. the player has six choices, it would be nice to know how to change them to my own pictures if that is possible.

    Upload your pictures to your ZEN, find the picture you want to use as background in the Photos menu, hit the menu button (top right)?while that picture is displayed on the screen, then scroll down the options until you see 'Set as Wallpaper' and make that selection. That's all there is to it.

  • Is unplugging TV-out adapter the only way to turn the second display off

    When the video out adaper is plugged in the iMacs resolution resets to what the TV-out can handle, I.e. 1024x768.
    I hate to have to plug/unplug the connecter to turn the TV-out off and thereby regain normal resolution on the iMac.
    Is that the only way? I was hoping that there is a way to disable the video-out and get the iMac back to normal through software rather than physically pull the plug out to turn it off nd then have to plug it back in when I want TV.
    Same goes for audio out. Any way to turn the external off while it's plugged in?
    TIA

    Try using ScreenSpanningDoctor. It'll let you have different resolutions for the TV out and the iMac, stopping that insane behavior. Also check out the Griffin iMic for your audio out. Using VLC you can select the second screen for video playback and the iMic for audio. Hope this helps. (works great here)

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

    Hello David.
    Go into ''Tools > Options > General > Startup:When Firefox starts:'' and configure it as you want (probably to show your home page?). This is the very first option that appears in the options screen, but I understand that it may not be very easy to find. Firefox 4 will not include any redesign to the options screen (except possibly it appearing in a tab, rather than in a popup), but you may interested to know that there are plans to redesign the options screen for versions after Firefox 4, to make it easier to use. If you want to know more about the redesign, just ask.
    Anyway, if that doesn't help (it probably does, but just in case), it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
