Can Only Seem To Use 1/2 Of Zen Nano Memory..
Help... I have loaded a little over 25 mp3 tracks onto my Zen Nano Plus and cannot get any more to load. When viewed through the Creative MediaSource Organizer UI it shows I have over 475MB of available space left on the player. However, when I try to load additonal tracks I get a generic "Error Transferring File" message and cannot add a new track unless I first clear some space by deleting one or two existing tracks.
OK. So I just bought a MuVo GB. When I tried to load my music on it I encountered the same problem as others have posted i.e. it only seemed to allow me to use half the available capacity.
After playing around some more I found the solution to my problem. I reformatted the MuVo to FAT32 from its original format of FAT6. This resolved the problem, and I was then able to utilize the full capacity of the MuVo player (i.e. ~ GB).
I believe it has to do with the fact that in FAT6 the minimum cluster size (for a GB disk) is 32KB, whereas for FAT32 the minimum cluster size is 4KB. Thus since I was trying to transfer a large number of small music files (i.e. ~ .5KB in size), each of them in FAT6 would occupy the minimum cluster size of 32KB even though the actual data size was significantly less (.5 Kb). This used up the space very inefficiently (i.e. wasting ~30.5 Kb of space slack space?), and prevented me from using the full capacity of my player. The minimum cluster size in FAT32 is 4KB, that's /8th the size of FAT32 clusters, significantly more efficient for storing a large number of small files!
Under FAT32 I'm able to get very close to the full capacity, and haven't experienced problems with loading music or playing music. There is a limitation of 500 files per folder, but this is easily overcome, and after all 500 songs at ~ 2-3 minutes per song is
~ 25 hours of music. Plenty enough storage.
I'm not sure why Creative formats the dri've as FAT6. It is easily reformatted to FAT32 with their supplied software (Creative MuVo V00 Media Explorer).

Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window. Anyone else have this problem?
This doesn't seem right.
I paid for a rental and downloaded an HD movie, Avatar. I could start watching within about a minute, it played without skipping a beat.
My wife started watching the movie the next night and got about half way through.
The next day, she tried watching the rest, and selected the film and clicked on "resume watching".
But instead of streaming and playing like it should, we got the spinning wheel of death followed by a message "Ready to play in 1 minute" which soon became "Ready to play in 2351 minutes"!
Additional information that I can add is that it was Sunday afternoon which is peak time for internet usage and I'd just exhausted my data allowance before the speed limiting kicks in. Basic internet using browsers at that time was really slow.
So it was as though the movie we were going to resume watching was going to be downloaded from the iTunes Store again, and since my connection had been speed limited, it was going to take forever. I thought you downloaded a rental to your hard drive and it deleted itself after it expired? So any subsequent streaming to AppleTV would be coming direct from your hard drive. It shouldn't have been affected by the speed of my internet connection at that time, surely. Anyone else experienced this?
Actually, I just noticed this post, I'm sure it's related...:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12398832� -
You can only log in using your primary BigPond Broadband account
Hi I recently moved from QLD to WA and moved my bundle with me, I had foxtel on tbox over there but the box got left in the move so I bought another one today. I have tried to register it but it comes up with the following message ' You can only log in using your primary BigPond Broadband account , If you can’t remember your primary account username and password, you will need to speak to a Customer Service Representative on 1800 331 402 So after calling the first time the lady registered the tbox and I thought that would be me on my way so I hung up and tried to get foxtel on tbox. Ended up getting the same message and now my tbox does not appear to be registered at all. So after another call which lasted around 30mins of me being on hold and a 3 way conversation where both telstra members were trying to fob responsibility off to each other and one being quite rude I was told I would be called back.. After another half an hour the guy called back and said that I could not get foxtel on tbox at my address. To me this seems like Im being fobbed off as he didnt know what the problem was, I am in a unit and I checked my address on the telstra website which stated 'great news, foxtel on tbox is available in your area' and after being told I couldnt get it, I put a note on the notice board of the aparment block to see if anyone else had foxtel and they do so clearly that is not the problem. Can anyone advise what to do or who to speak too to try and clear this up? Thank you
There are times like this I wish I could log in to customers accounts and fix it however not allowed ESQ check which is a serviceability check and checks what services are available at your address. So if it says Foxtel Tbox is eligible then its all good to go then this wouldn't be the problem mate. What needs to happen is that your email address and serial number might be still on the admin portal of the tbox registration. However you said Tbox support have removed this from the account in saying that this can take a little while to be completely removed from our records which would then allow you to register a new device. Try the registration a little later on or again tomorrow and see how you go. Please let us know how you get along. Cheers bud.

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone? Can anyone help me?
Hi Jim,
We’ll be glad to help you.
Ecwid supports responsive layout, which means that the store pages can adapt to the visitor's screen width on the fly and keep the layout clean and nice. Your products and categories lists will be fit for any window's size, as Ecwid will calculate the most suitable number of products or categories in row automatically. In other words, Ecwid looks great on any mobile devices. You can check how your Ecwid store may look on smartphones and tablets, if you see your Starter Site (what it is).
However, if you want Ecwid reveals itself in all its glory, you should embed your Ecwid store into website, which also support responsive layout, because if the site doesn’t adapt to size screen, Ecwid is not able to determine how it should be changed since it’s just a part of the site.
We’ve checked your site and found that you used Adobe Muse for building your site. Using Adobe Muse, you can create alternate site layouts for web content to be displayed on desktop, smartphones, and tablets. Nonetheless, your site has a layout for desktops only, that’s why it looks the same on all devices. You can learn how to create those alternate layouts in Adobe Muse, by reading “Creating a Website for Mobile Devices” article.
I hope this helps! But if there are any questions, don’t hesitate to reach us out on Ecwid forums. -
When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures. I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?
Sorry for the long delay. I have Windows 8.1 and using Lightroom 5.7 I have organized my unedited RAW format photos in files on my hard drive in folders in My documents/pictures. Once I edit them I move them to another folders on a separate drive and discard the rejects.
When trying to access my documents by selecting .File - Import from another catalog- my documents/ pictures; I see the folders, however when I select it, it says No items to match your search When using the drop down menu on the lower right I can only see the images if I click on "all files" and when I click on the image I want to import, it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog; "The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog"
All of this happend when I loaded a Cannon Pro 100 printer plug-in. I tried to disable the plugin, but It is still happining and cannot access the images. -

[SOLVED] jack2dbus is running but I can't seem to use Qtractor/Ardour
Hello,
Earlier I had alsa installed together with jack2 and both worked fine - I could record my songs in Qtractor without any problems.
But I reecently bought GuitarPro software for Linux which needs a pulseaudio to work. So I installed the pulseaudio and It is
working fine by itself. I can start/stop it using commands:
pulseaudio --start
pulseaudio --kill
Now the problems begin. I had to uninstall jack2 and swap it for jack2dbus which works with pulseaudio (jack2 doesn't). I allso
wrote two scripts for starting the jack2dbus in two separate configurations
Hardware default audio (Nvidia) for playback and USB audio interface (Scarlet 2i4) for recording:
#!/bin/bash
jack_control start
jack_control eps realtime true
jack_control ds alsa
jack_control dps period 265
jack_control dps playback hw:0,0
jack_control dps capture hw:USB
USB audio interface (Scarlet 2i4) for playback and recording.
#!/bin/bash
jack_control start
jack_control eps realtime true
jack_control ds alsa
jack_control dps device hw:USB
jack_control dps period 265
THE START PROCEDURE
I first start the pulseaudio and check if it is running.
$ pulseaudio --start
$ ps aux | grep pulse
ziga 4171 48.0 0.2 520004 15328 ? S<l 14:22 0:00 pulseaudio --start
ziga 4176 0.0 0.0 76628 2552 ? S 14:22 0:00 /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
ziga 4179 0.0 0.0 10820 1076 pts/2 S+ 14:22 0:00 grep pulse
then I start the jack server using one of the scripts above and check if jack is running.
$ jack_control status
--- status
started
At this instance when everything seems to be running when I start Qtractor or Ardour I allways get the error.
The audio/MIDI engine could not be started! In the image check allso the console in the background.
I get some prompt about pulseaudio "module-jackdbus-detect" when I 1st shutdown jack, then kill pulseaudio
and restarting it using different command than before. Could this be the clue to what is wrong? Please help a bit.
$ jack_control stop
--- stop
$ pulseaudio --kill
$ pulseaudio
W: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
E: [pulseaudio] module-jackdbus-detect.c: Failed to parse channels= argument.

Quite impossible to guess what the issue could be from that error.
I suggest trying if you can get jack working using the legacy jackd. Even if that won't work you may get more useful error message.
Btw, if you install the jack2 package it includes both jackdbus and jackd, so it should be ok in your case, unless you absolutely want to get rid of the old jackd.
OK thank you for the sugestion. I did uninstall jack2-dbus and installed jack2 together with a python2-dbus dependancy. Then I killed pulseaudio and tried to start jack server.
It was unsucessfull but as you said I did get some more feedback. I saw that priority is only 10. IS it possible this is too low? Where can I set this parameter?

I can't seem to use the wireless connection to connect from my macpro to hp officejet 4500 g510g-m
Hi, I don't know how to connect my hp officejet 4500 g510g-m to my mac book pro. can anyone help me? i can't seem to find the ip address for the printer. this can be connected wireless right? it wasn't connected to the modem. it is okay?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
The Officejet 4500 support ethernet connection only, using wired network connection.
Only the 4500 Wireless model provide wireless connectivity.
Please make sure to connect the printer to your router, then it should become available from the Mac.
For any further issue, please clarify what router you are using.

2 sites and I can only seem to find one
I clicked "New Site" and then did some linking between the two sites. The problem is I can't seem to find the new site in "my stuff." I am using transmit and it only sees the original site (as far as I can tell).
When you have 2 Sites in iWeb and you publish to a folder, iWeb creates two folders with the Site names and an index.html file.
The OP apparently didn't notice the second Site folder when he used Transmit to upload his Sites to the server. -
Hard drive says its full but I can only find 44G used!
I knew the day would come when I filled my 80G hard drive. But when I look at the HD space occupied by each of the files in Finder I can only account for 44G used! - where is the missing 36?
Also how easy is it to use an external hard drive for music/photos etc?
Many thanks.You can relocate iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an
externally enclosed hard disk drive; there are some
rules and considerations, such as they go, so the
computer won't be making duplicates to its internal
hard disk drive, since you'd want to keep it slim.
A search online should yield a few fairly well founded
replies to relocating or archiving these libraries.
You may be able to view the Hard Disk Drive as a List
and see if you can find an entry for large blocks of items
that may not be otherwise noted; but this may not be a
way to go. There had been utilities to help find and fix
the issue of lost space on a hard drive.
Sometimes, a 'previous system' folder may be using some.
Or an older anti-virus program (norton) may waste space.
You may need to consider a really decent external HDD
enclosure that can support full clones of everything; be
sure the enclosed drive circuitry supports Mac OS X boot
capabilities. Then make a clone (carbon copy cloner) of
the entire contents to a prepared external drive, test it and
be sure tor repair disk permissions on the booted clone.
PPC Macs generally require FW400/800 external enclosure
devices to support OS X booting; later ones USB2.0.
And then use Disk Utility from the clone or booted install DVD
and use its Secure Erase to overwrite 7-passes of zeros over
the hard drive contents, then use the Partition Map tool to give
it a suitable partition map scheme for the hardware involved,
plus Format the drive to HFS+ Journaled, and either move the
clone back in, or reinstall a completely new system from scratch.
This may be a better way, and in the process, give the old HDD
a workout to see if it isn't just getting old and starting to fail. If so,
you could consider a larger external (partition into two, if big) and
run the computer from there, if you don't want to take apart the
iMac and replace the original hard drive with a larger/faster one.
Anyway, have fun.
Good luck & happy computing!
