Best way of using my zen xtra 60gb with speake

Bearing in mind i'm not very technical , but learning!
Can i use my zen xtra with amp and speakers system to act as a stereo system? when i connect it up the volume is really low and have to turn amp up too the max to get a loud enough sound?
What do i need to do/get/install to make my player into a decent enough stereo system?
Am i right using jack to twin phono leads in2 the amp.
Can I download anything/upgrade my player to increase its volume level?
Any help would be top!
Cheers
Jon

I was trying to do something similar, but whenever I turn the volume up past about 20% the sound starts popping and cutting out horribly; it sounds like it's clipping, but that doesn't make much sense, because it's so freaking quiet! The *only* two possibilities I can figure are, a) for some reason the Dynamic Range is phenomenal compared to CD players, thus causing even slight increases in volume to clip out, or b) there's noise in the track somewhere at a frequency that you can't hear but the stereo can reproduce, and it's loud enough to cause it to overload.
Neither of these seems very plausible though. What do you think?

  • Best way to use Airport Extreme dual band with Netgear FR114P?

    Years ago a friend connected via ethernet our G4 (10.4.11) and an old Blueberry iMac (10.4.11) to a Netgear FR114P Router(?) which is connected to a modem from TimeWarner Cable on our second floor. We also have an ethernet connection downstairs for a Windows XP laptop. We can all get on the internet easily, but we have never been able to connect wirelessly or to let one printer serve everyone in the house. My grandchildren now all have these wonderful Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods, Macbooks), and I would like them to be able to connect wirelessly, and I would like to have a real network so we can all use the printer and scanner, but still preserving the integrity of our hard drives. We just bought 2 refurbished iMacs, an Apple Extreme Base Station (dual), and an Apple Express access point. How best to proceed to achieve the desired outcome? If the language is not too technical, I think I’ll be able to follow the directions.
    I am reluctant to mess with the Netgear connection which is working. I am hoping I can remove the hard-wired G4 and put the 27” iMac in its place. Then, I am hoping I can connect the AEBS to the Netgear router and somehow magically create a situation wherein all the computers & some of the devices can talk to each other and to the peripherals wirelessly? Is that possible? I’ve read some of the discussions, even one about a Netgear FR114P, but it was dated 2007 so I’m not sure it applies to my situation. Should I just get rid of the Netgear? I don’t want to spend 20 hours without any kind of internet connection and get into a frustrating situation as one of the previous writers did. I am happy to proceed methodically and get it right the first time. Thanks so much for reading this long-winded thing. If this problem is already recently addressed in this forum, perhaps you will be kind enough to give me the link.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB not playing correctly anymore, help!!

    Thanks. I keep getting directed to that knowledge base page, but it is not addressing my problem. My computer immediately tells me that the device has "malfunctioned" and the computer does not recognize it. I only have the usb cord that came with the zen, so I don't have another one to try. I love my zen and have staunchly defended it over the years vs. an i-pod. However, this is my 2nd onI've had my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB for over 5+ years. It has worked great, with minimal problems. I had a firmware update issue quite a while back. I'm not sure how to resolve this problem. Here is the situation:
    Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB is fully charged and ready to use.
    I tried loading a set playlist but it won't load. So I tried another, and it doesn't load. Not sure what to do, I go to the menu. This time I choose an artist/band. The music loads, but it doesn't play. I try again, then it starts to play. So I load a few other artists that way. It seems like I had a issue to work out later. Being away from my computer that was going to have to wait. After some time the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB started to start N stop diferent songs. A few times it froze while playing a song. Then would unfreeze to play another, then suddenly start playing the previous one. After about 0-5 minutes of this I decided I had enough. So I planned to empty the playlist, and turn it off. It took me atleast three attempts to empty the playlist and turn it off.
    Are these problems fixable What are they hardware or software
    Would an OS or firmware update fix these problems Is my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB hard dri've going Can I get a replacement Or do I need to buy a new player
    Please help me get my player working. I really like this model, I'd hate to have to replace it.
    in 5 years. (The first one fried itself, but fortunately was still under warrantly.) Sadly, I, too, am considering moving on. I onlyreceived generic help fromthe Creative SupportTeam (who ultimately told me my zen is "unrepairable" when their one-size-fits-all solutions didn't work).Since there seems to be an overwhelming # of people experiencing similar problems, maybe the time is right to make the change, especially since an iPod classic 60 GB (7th Generation) is quite affordable these days.
    [/B]

    Formatting will erase all the files on the player,Cleanup scans the disc & corrects file system errors,broken links (from when you delete things)ect. but does NOT repair bad sectors,Reboot then rebuilds the file system. I'd do the Cleanup>Reboot first to see if that solves the problem.here you will find how to open the player to see what dri've is in there. You can then search Ebay or Google the model number to find another one.

  • ZEN XTRA 60GB DISPLAY CRAC

    I have a cracked display on the ZEN XTRA 60GB and would like to know if the parts (display/motherboard) from lower memory ZENs are compatible? Also, can the display and/or mother board (to which the display is mounted) be purchased for the repair to be done locally? WIth a estimated $40 diagnostic and an $8.00 part from Creative Tech Services, I'm looking for options. The unit is fully functional other than the display crystal layer being cracked. The unit is out of warranty.

    The Xtra has a specific sized display, hence you can only use the display from another Xtra. The idea of transplanting a display sounds a little unlikely to be honest, you would really need to transplant a mainboard, and even that will be extremely difficult to find.
    You could try and find a unit with a broken hard disk for sale on eBay, at your own risk of course.

    You mean the center pin, inside the players socket? If this has come off/snapped you are a bit stuck for recharging the player via the AC adapter. You say that the Male plug (from the adapter) has the pin stuck in it's If it has then you need to contact Creative, If your player is still in warrentey you should be able to claim off it, especially if "it just broke"...
    Contact them anyway and see what they can do, you cant repair the problem yourself without taking the player apart and replacing the entire socket. And you dont particually want to do that.
    Tell me, did the pin just snap off, or did it come off another way?

  • What's is the best way to use iPhoto? I need to understand.

    What's is the best way to use iPhoto? I need to understand.
    I guess the iPhoto is only for people with 5,000 of personal photos.
    Or even 200,000, but they can't use this app everyday.
    I'm not talk about working as a photographer. They use Aperture.
    They may use iPhoto like a family album that you take a look sometimes.
    And don't care about putting photos from the camera or from internet everyday.
    I have tons of music and I love iTunes 8, works great. So I tried but I can't stand iPhoto anymore.
    I have over 173,000 photos. My goal is organize, have total control, crop in Preview and delete them fast as I can.
    The iPhoto is too slow. And is not only about performance, more RAM... but the whole concept.
    Finder is much better/richer/flexible to organize than iPhoto.
    I'm not talking about the photographer workflow.
    And I'm not talking about editing and all these great photo features, the search, and all the iLife environment. They are amazing.
    When I'm iPhoto, I feel like a prisioner.
    I can't open an album/folder/event alone just to take a look, without do lanch the iPhoto app with the all thousand photos together. And it's slow.
    I can't use Quick Look there.
    So, I'll use Finder for manage/crop/etc. But what's the best way to use iPhoto in my case? Put the best/key ones there to use in iLife/MobileMe? To do a more serious editing? I like the features: keywords/ratings/hidden photos/events... It would be cool this features in Finder.
    For example:
    iMovie: Manage movies? NO. It's editng only.
    iTunes: Manage music/small video/podcast...? OK. Editing the song? OK for tags/convert/artwork/equalizer... For music there's a GarageBand of course.
    iPhoto: Manage photos? Yes and No.
    I think Finder would kill iPhoto incoporating all the editing features in Preview and the rich manage in Finder.
    Jobs said that no one care about iDVD anymore. They care about the web.
    Using iMovie to export to MobileMe.
    Maybe iPhoto become less important in a near future. With a better Finder+Preview Right?
    Sorry for this long text with a short question.
    Thanks.

    Your post demonstrates exactly why I keep saying that iPhoto is not the application for you.
    It would be better an iPhoto organizing photos by words like when iTunes browse his music.
    Why on earth would anyone want to organise photos by words? A list mode is entirely pointless in a Photo application. That's like having an old photo album organised with the photos facing inwards so you can read the back of the picture.
    Again, this is a characteristic of a File browser. You don't want a Photo organiser, you want a file organiser.
    And, in iPhoto, you can search by tags, effortlessly in either the search box or by using a Smart Album.
    iPhoto always loads all that events and all the thumbs library to scroll, and I think it's overkill.
    So, how is iPhoto to know which ones you want to work with today? Open a library, get the Library.
    Would be better a Cover Flow option to browsing in Events.
    You've obviously never tried scrubbing along the Event icon.
    Imagine iTunes using Cover Flow mode all the time. It won't be too useful.
    Many, many people do, including myself on a library of 20k tracks totalling more that 100 gigs, and find it very useful. Same with the Finder.
    And if when iTunes Store starts to sell photos?
    Why on earth would the iTunes store start to sell photos?
    My photos are not junk,
    I didn't say there were. Read my post again.
    When I said Finder to crop photos I mean Preview. But I feel in Finder. Because what's in Preview? A photo opened with a Preview's menubar and some cocoa APIs like adjustments. Not?
    Oh, so you don't count Preview as an application. Fine. It is an application but you don't feel it. As you wish.
    My point to you is very simple: Because of the way you want to organise your pics - using lists views and so on - iPhoto is not the application for you. Don't use it. But you keep writing things about the application that are untrue, and I'm aware that other folks search these forums and I don't want them to have inaccurate information about iPhoto.

  • Best way to use an external drive

    Hello all,
    I have several photos.
    I also have three computers that I regularly use: my Windows PC, my Macbook Pro, and a very new iMac.
    Rather than place all my photos on each computer... I thought I could place them on a Western Digital Passport portable ext. drive. Then somehow use the drive from computer to computer to edit/play with my photos.
    How do I best use iPhoto 08 to do that? I'm not sure... do the photos have to be on the computer in order to make albums, libraries, folders, etc? Or are those things more of thumbnails that POINT to certain files?
    Please help a newbie understand the best way to use his external drive.
    Thanks for any and all help!

    Hello, and welcome, Theodore!
    I must first say that I don't yet have iPhoto 8.
    I do, however, have a lot of experience with external drives (I have two). I have a huge amount of music in iTunes, so I keep a copy of it on each external drive. Then, when I need to access my music , I turn on either external drive, up comes the External Drive symbol on my display, then I go over to my dock, and select iTunes. I must remember to first open up the External Drive BEFORE I open iTunes (or iPhoto). I then add or subtract music (or photos), edit, and work on my collection. When I'm finished, I just close the application, then select the Hard Drive symbol, and choose File/ Exit Hard Drive. Reach over and turn off my Hard Drive, and it's all good. I just always remember to open the Hard Drive FIRST, before opening the application.
    The same would work for iPhoto. If you place iPhoto onto your external drive, you could probably use any of your computers to connect to it. I would suggest you think about backing up your external drive's contents with either another external drive (which was my choice), or other alternate storage methods.
    I only have one PowerBook, not multiple computers, but, other than that, the situation's the same. You want to keep your iPhoto collection off your computers, and onto one external drive. I hope this information can be of some help to you.
    All best wishes... Cea

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

    Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

    driddy61,
    As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Adobe Reader for Android
    Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
    In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
    The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers).  Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
    Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example.  You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
    Tablets
    However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
    (a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
    Example: Surface Pro 3
    You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
    (b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
    Example: Surface 2
    You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
    In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets.  However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
    Processor: Intel
    Operating system:  Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
    Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department.  Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

  • What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks?

    What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks? I'm about to start a BSN program and have heard of using your iPad for textbooks instead of buying and carrying around 8 different books. Is there an app for that? Or do you buy or rent the books? What's the best solution?

    Or, if you're like me and you want to do a lot of heavy reading, use the iPad because the low contrast on a Kindle is extremely fatiguing.  
    Seriously, though "screen glare will cause eye strain" is often taken as an article of faith, there's not a lot of good scientific evidence for it. "Eye strain" can be caused by concentrating on any close work for long periods of time. Looking up and focusing on something distant periodically is very helpful. Older CRT screens that flicker also can be aggravting. I'm not denying that some people find reading backlit screens uncomfortable. However, it's not dangerous. And, then, there are other people who find the higher contrast a backlit screen affords to be much less wearying over long periods of time.

  • Repost-Best way of using connection pooling

    I am reposting this, seems best suitable in this category.

    Definitely I am doing it wrong but exactly where? I am having very strong doubt the way i am using connections is not the correct way. Pls help me.

    I am in a search of best way to use connection pooling. Initially was using simple JDBC call, then modified to JNDI, afterwards tried to have common class. Later came accross the idea of Singleton/Static. I wanted to have a common class which will handle all connection related issues and at the same time give good performance.
    With due respect to all Java Gurus: i got all from web articles/tutorials/java forum etc. There is a long discussion regarding Singlet vs static in this forum. But finally got confused and could not figure out in my case which method shall i make use of, so tried both.
    What I want is somebody pointing out flwas inside my 2 code snippets and guide me about which method shall i adopt in future.
    Static way:
    package common;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import javax.sql.DataSource;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import javax.naming.NamingException;
    public final class ConnectionManager_Static {
         private static InitialContext ctx = null;
         private static DataSource ds = null;
         public ConnectionManager_Static(){     }
         //as the staic method is updating static var i am synchonizing it
         private static synchronized void getDatasource () throws NamingException, SQLException
              if (ds == null){
                   ctx = new InitialContext();
                   ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySql");
         //making getConnection() also static as it is not instance specific     
         public static Connection getConnection () throws NamingException, SQLException, Exception
              Connection conn = null;
              try{     
                   if (ds == null) {getDatasource ();}
                   if (ds != null) {
                        conn = ds.getConnection();                 
              }catch (Exception e){
                   throw new Exception("From ConnectionManager_Static",e);
              return conn;
           }//getConnection
    }Singleton:
    package common;
    import java.sql.*;
    import javax.sql.*;
    import javax.naming.*;
    public final class ConnectionManager_Singleton {
             private static ConnectionManager_Singleton INSTANCE = null;
              private DataSource datasource = null;
              // Private constructor for singleton pattern
             private ConnectionManager_Singleton() throws NamingException{
                   Context ctx = new InitialContext();
                   datasource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySql");
             //synchronized creator for  multi-threading issues
             //another if check to avoid multiple instantiation
             private synchronized static void createInstance() throws NamingException{
                 if (INSTANCE == null) {
                     INSTANCE = new ConnectionManager_Singleton();
             public static ConnectionManager_Singleton getInstance() throws NamingException {
                 if (INSTANCE == null) createInstance();
                 return INSTANCE;
              public Connection getConnection() throws Exception
                   Connection con = null;
                   try{
                        con = datasource.getConnection();
                   }catch(Exception e){
                        throw new Exception("From connection manager singleton ", e);
                   return con;
    }Sorry, It's becoming long.
    Thanaks in advance,
