Can't launch Mixer, Speaker Settings, etc with Audigy 2

I wanted to use headphones with my card, but found that I had no sound at all. Checking the speaker settings, I discovered that the dropdown wasn't populated. (I discovered a thread on Tom's Hardware forum mentioning this problem, but no-one seems to have a fix.)
I tried?resetting to defaults, but got an error message saying that not all settings could be restored. I also tried the "Repair" option in Add/Remove Programs without success.
I tried doing a complete removal (using the KB instructions)?and re-installation. Apart from getting an error message about PlxCore.plx missing (which I fixed by copying the file manually), the re-installation completed.
However, I find that I can't launch many of the utilities, such as the mixer, EAX console, speaker settings. If I right-click on the volume control icon, nothing happens.
There is a grey square at the top of my desktop that looks like it might be a partially-rendered toolbar.
I also can't see an uninstall option in Add/Remove Programs for MediaSource. None of the MediaSource programs will launch either, but I can't uninstall them.
I do have sound, but I have to use the windows volume control.
I don't know what else to do. I have been through the re-installation procedure half-a-dozen times.

Thanks, but it looks like I'm out of luck.
I used the utility, but it didn''t help. (It also seems to have messed up my FireFox installation, for some reason).
After booting into safe mode and running the utility, I tried installing again (and got the plxCore.plx error again). Results were even worse than before - I still don't have a working installation, and now I can't even uninstall the drivers - I get an error saying "an event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers."

Latest versions of Speaker Settings/Calibration for Audigy 2

Hi all,
I've got an issue with my Creative Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro, im currently using the most up to date drivers and additional software from the provided Install CD/Creative Update service, however im unable to calibrate my speakers from within the Speaker Settings tool, clicking the "Calicration Wizard" button results in nothing happening.
As such, i was wondering if an update to the Speaker Settings/Speaker Calibration software would help remedy this issue, i can find no such updates specifically for the Audigy 2 ZS range, however i was wondering if any of the other Install CD's for other Soundblaster Cards may hold an update version of these items, that would be copmpatible with my Audigy 2ZS Plat Pro, and hopefully help remedy this problem.
Cheers in advance.

Can I use my current dock, etc. with my new Nano?

Question, I just received my 4GB Nano, I already own a 10GB 3rd Generation Ipod with a Dock (currently plugged into a belkin firewire card, but also has a USB 2.0 connector) I also have a Apple Ipod travel charger (apple model # A1004)which seems to plug right into the charging/transfer port perfectly. Can I use these accessories with my new Nano? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

OK,
so your choices are
1) see if you have a firewire to dock connector cable ("Apple iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable " $19 from Apple online store). If not, buy one from Apple or third party (Griffin Technology makes these cables, maybe a little less expensive). This will let you charge your nano with your existing firewire wall charger, BUT you won't be able to sync your nano with this cable (no big deal if all you do is use this cable to charge)
2) purchase Apples USB wall charger "iPod USB Power Adapter ", $29. Advantage is you use the cable that came with your nano (less cable clutter).

Moved from PC to Mac can I go back & bring bookmarks etc with me?

I am giving Mac a try & want to use my PC bookmarks etc. Ibelieve I could have done this when I opened the Firefox account in Mac, but by passed download apps from Internet Explorer. Can I rectify that omission?

You should be able to easily move your Firefox bookmarks to a new computer if you follow these instructions for [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks Backing up and restoring bookmarks].

Can't launch application on iOS simulator with Flash Pro CC

Hi! What am I doing wrong?
I have installed:
MacOS 10.9.2,
Xcode Version 5.1 (5B130a),
Adobe AIR 13.0.0.64 for iOS,
iPhoneSimulator7.1.sdk,
Adobe Flash Professional 13.1.0.226
I set the path to iPhone simulator sdk in application settings:
"Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator7.1.sdk"
I set the path to productStore.ane file in ActionScript settings, but I dont use it in the project.
I have locked buttons 'Debug>Debug movie>On iOS Simulator' and 'Controll>Test movie>On iOS Simulator'
After publishing I have the following message "The application has been successfully published.", but iOS simulator does not start.
I hope very much for your help.
Thanks!

Thanks for helping Preran
Same problem here. I even reinstalled Xcode and the iOS SDK (now 8).
If I change the path from what I think it must be to:
.....Xcode > Contents > Applications > iOS Simulator.app
I get an ERROR message telling: SDK is missing GPL component
The provided path points to llvm-gcc

Can't get the software to work with Audigy 2

Hi, I have had my Audigy 2 ZS going on a year now and haven't had any problems. I recently made a clean install of Windows XP and upgraded to SP2 and all that. Now, I can get sound out of the card but can't get the software to work at all; cannot get the volume slider bar to appear when I click the icon (it appears in the task bar though and I get a small gray square where the slider should appear), the surround mixer does not show when I double click the volume icon, EAX conxole is a no go, get an empty error box when I try to start the Equaliser.
I have tried everything from simple re-install to clean sweep to praying to the pagan gods. I have alsoo tried updating the drivers of course.
I run XP on an Intel MoBo (on-boeard sound deactivated), 52RAM, ATI 9700 ALL-IN-WONDER.
DOES THE CREATIVE SOFTWARE DEPEND ON ANY WEIRD LITTLE WINDOWS SERVICE OR SETTING THAT I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED DURING SETUP?
This is quite infuriating as any idea I come up with takes up a lot of time in installation, uninstallation and clean up. It worked before, why not now?
Thanks in advance. dentore

Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

[Cinnamon] Can't launch cinnamon-settings from menu.

Hi all,
I've just put together a fresh install with gdm and cinnamon, but I can't launch the cinnamon-settings widget from the settings button (on the bottom left)
From what I've gathered in my forum / wiki / google searches, this isn't too uncommon. However, unlike in those cases, I can launch the settings widget from the console. I can also navigate through it, except it doesn't actually *do* anything when I change settings. This is somewhat annoying, as I want to theme the desktop / set up my multi-head configuration properly / change the background.. you get the picture.
This is what I have installed:
[wfaithfull@mjolnir ~]$ pacman -Ss | grep cinnamon
community/cinnamon 2.4.8-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-control-center 2.4.2-3 [installed]
community/cinnamon-desktop 2.4.2-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-menus 2.4.1-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-screensaver 2.4.2-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-session 2.4.3-2 [installed]
community/cinnamon-settings-daemon 2.4.3-1 [installed]
community/cinnamon-translations 2.4.4-1 [installed]
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Wow, this was stupid. I hadn't used cinnamon before - I thought it looked a lot like GNOME.. and guess what, it IS GNOME. that's why the settings don't work. My problem is that GDM picked the wrong session. Jesus.

Check the mute switch. It is located just above the volume controls. If it is displaying orange, it is on, flip it in the other direction to turn it off.

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind" the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message. I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread". I think that will make each message show individually.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?

Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.

Issues with mixer etc for Audigy SE in Windows 7 64bit

My system is currently Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and I have just installed the SB Audigy SE PCI card.
I have uninstalled the onboard sound software and disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS.
I have disabled all audio devices showing in the sound/playback devices.
I am hearing audio fine on the system but there are issues I would like to try and resolve. When I attempt to launch the applet to control the mixer, select speaker config etc I receive an error stating that the hardware that the application supports is not found.
I have downloaded the latest software and run the auto update to be sure that this is the case. I have attempted to run the applets from the installed folders to see if that would help. I have set admin privledges for the applets and even attempted to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3. None of this hel
ps.
I have searched the forums and found several threads that list the error, but the posts I found were either not for this card/windows version or not answered. All of the threads found were at least several months old. I am familiar with working in the BIOS, working in the registry and with hardware troubleshooting.
I would like to get these working as the sounds are not quite to my liking with the current config. I do not do any audio editing, but I use my system extensi'vely for audio playback and for gaming.
Thank you in advance.

here, it's the application which i boxed in green;
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2382/unledign.jpg?
please note the requirements which tells that application(BasicAudio Suite) doesnt supports win7 either 32/64bit.
trust me, i tried that with my XP SP3 and it game me troubles either. by reverting my XP SP2 made it work cuz it tells supports only XP SP2.
we need that application so that we can tweak more with the audio like; equalizer, diffrent soundfields etc... yeah, there was a big difference when we can tweak it more specially with the equalizers. better bass, treble and everything.
so there's no way we can fix/access that when we are into win 7, Alchemy has nothing to do with it btw... i have it either.
for now our tweaking would be limited with this; ( Creative Audio Control Panel which you could find at the Start menu button)

adjust that slider according to your liking, mostly it just adds/reduce the echoes with the audio as far i had observed.

I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
Many thanks for your help.

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

HT1689 In a household with one email address but 3 or more devices, we have trouble playing games like Gems, Draw Free etc. with other people. How can we solve this easily?

In a household with multiple devices but one email address, we have problems playing games such as Draw Free, Gems, etc with others. What is the easiest solution?

Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
