Close to buying a RIO carbon and ditching my zen micr

Has anyone else had as many problems as I have had ? I am now sending off for my fourth! YES fourth zen micro !!! I have had two broken headphone jacks and a player die on me all within 6 months. I have barely used the players each time and have spent more time sending back the replacements Creative sent me than listening to them! I take good care of them and there seems to be some serious quality issues.
The question is do I get rid of micro number four and head straight towards the RIO carbon ?

SSR the sad thing is I'm not doing anything to the players at all! I had my original player for 6 months with no problems at all. Then the headphone jack started to go so I RMA'd it .
This is where the problems began. The replacement player Creative sent me was clearly refurbished and it actually had a broken jack when it arri'ved at my house ! I then sent that back and got another one which completely died on me in less than a week. I had actually used it twice walking to work!
So here I go again, waiting on player number four from the creative recycling bank!

    Use it as a paperweight unlesss you can get hold of him. Doesn't sound like much of a "friend" to me.

  • Carbon and Cocoa Integration

    I have read the Cocoa-Carbon Integration Guide several times, but still have one unanswered question. The guide explains how to call Carbon Functions in a Cocoa Objective-C Class File. However, does this also apply to data types? I made the logical connection that it would be hard to call carbon functions without carbon data types, but i don't know if they have to be called in a special way of if a prefix needs to be added to the data types before they can be used. Could someone explain or elaborate on how to use Carbon in Cocoa Classes?
    thx

    Orangekay is right. You can learn it, but don't be in a hurry. If you are familiar with object-oriented Javascript, you should be able to figure it out. Cocoa is a pure object-oriented library where you send messages to receivers.
    [receiver message: argument]
    Carbon is also an object-oriented library, but it is written in C. In Carbon, you would do the above as:
    message(receiver, argument)
    Javascript looks closer to Java or C++ syntax-wise than either Cocoa or Carbon. For an example, compare the interfaces of CFString with NSString. They do the same things and are, in fact, the same objects using Carbon and Cocoa interfaces, respectively.
    There are only a few objects that exist in both Carbon and Cocoa. Most things are either one or the other. Still, all Cocoa objects and methods will look similar. The same is true for Carbon.
    Unfortunately, there are some low level details, like memory management, that you don't have to deal with in Javascript. You may have to step back and work on some simple C or Cocoa projects just to learn before you can apply that to something real.

  • Best Buy is about to and Elite Plus customer

    I've been an extremely loyal Best Buy customer for over 20 years.  I've been an Elite rewards member for 6 years, and Elite Plus since the new tier was created.  I've already re-qualified for Elite Plus for next year.  Needless to say, I shop at BBY several times per week.
    That may all change unless they can fix this colossal f$#k-up that is placing several of my pre-orders in jeopardy.
    Long story short: I've placed 6 orders that consist of video game pre-orders for limited edition versions, which are now fully reserved at all retailers, as well as several other pre-orders for pretty much every A-list release coming in Q4/Q1.  Some of these orders were placed as far back as February, right when the items became available for pre-order.
    My BBY credit card was recently updated from the in-store card to the BBY Platinum Mastercard.  The old card--which I used for all of those orders--has now been deactivated.  I've updated my account to include my new card as primary payment, but there is no self-help option to specifically update your payment on existing orders.
    I hit a snag when two of my orders that released yesterday went to process, and were denied payment, since they tried to ping the old card.  These orders were then cancelled for invalid payment before I had a chance to respond to the email regarding a payment problem.
    I called support today, to see if they could manually update the payment information on my outstanding orders, and we found in a conference call with Citibank support that even though my new card is valid, since the process of updating existing orders doesn't provide a way to enter the CVV code of my new card (since it's not required by .com's systems), when they go to enter the order, it registers as a CVV mismatch and the payment is denied.  After a few tries with one of my orders for a common-stock item, the order hit enough denied payments to be automatically cancelled.
    After being on the phone with them for 3 HOURS, I was essentially told that they had no way of fixing this.  The problem is, that when these limited-edition pre-orders hit their release date, they will encounter the same payment error and then be automatically cancelled.  But, if that happens, or if we cancel the existing orders and I attempt to re-order them, THEY WILL BE OUT OF STOCK AND UNAVAILABLE!!  Essentially, unless this error is fixed, I will lose all of my limited-edition pre-orders and since I can't order them anywhere else, I won't be able to replace the order anywhere, unless I shell out a ton of money on the secondary market.
    Obviously, I don't find this satisfactory.  I've entrusted Best Buy with thousands of dollars of pre-orders, and because of a stupid glitch in their system, they have now essentially told me that this is an inevitable problem that even their top tier of support cannot correct, and they offered nothing to fix the situation to ensure that I will receive the items that I had ordered several months in advance.
    This is absolutely outrageous, and it's the last straw.  If someone from Best Buy is reading this and can help fix the situation before my first LE pre-order of Q4 enters processing on 11/3/14, I would ask that they please contact me.  Otherwise, this screw-up is enough to finally end my two decades of loyalty at Best Buy.
    I am very serious about this.  If no solution is found, and my orders continue to get auto-cancelled, I intend to cancel all remaining pre-orders (over 15 pending items), cash out my $500 worth of banked points, then cancel my Best Buy accounts and never set foot in a store or visit them online again.  
    I know people often make these claims of "never again" to be hyperbolic and blow off steam, but this is not just idle talk or grandstanding.  With Amazon Prime giving me release-day delivery and competitive prices, and 3 GameStops and 2 Apple stores within a 10 mile radius, I could very easily get by without ever giving Best Buy my business again, and I am fully prepared to do so if these orders cannot be rectified.
    I would figure that Best Buy would go the extra mile to take care of their most loyal customers.  Heck, with how the customer base has eroded, I would figure they'd bend over backwards for ANY customer.  I can't imagine Best Buy can afford to lose too many more customers like me, but they're about to, unless something gets fixed and fast.
    Ball is in your court, Best Buy.  

    Good afternoon zsciaeount,
    Thank you for being a loyal Elite Plus customer. I am terribly disappointed to read about all the wasted time and frustration you have been through regarding your pre-orders. Updating your credit card information on these orders should not be so difficult, and I am truly very sorry for all the inconvenience and frustration you have encountered. 
    According to our records, I see you are working with our Executive Resolution team. I encourage you to continue to work with them to get this resolved immediately to avoid any more pre-orders from being impacted. Should you still need my assistance please do not hesitate to let me know. I assure you it is my goal to help our loyal customers in any way I can. I will also be documenting your experience for further review.
    Once again, I am truly very sorry for any disappointment this has caused, and I hope we are fortunate to continue to have you as a loyal Best Buy customer. 
    Sincerely,

  • Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

    Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

    There is no way around the activation lock. You apparently decided to use the phone with someone else's ID set up for an iCloud (and find my iPhone) account before updating. Since Find My iPhone was active, updating to iOS 7 has automatically turned on the activation lock. If you do not have the Apple ID and password that were previously used, then the phone is now useless. You can't activate it without that informaion.
    Talk to whoever you bought the phone from if you can. If you can't, buy a new phone.

  • My Itunes won't let me buy apps or songs, and I can't even download the free ones

    Hello.  I have an iphone 5.  Iv'e had it scince May of 2013 (this year).  I really haven't had any problems before with Itunes, but I can't buy songs or apps, and I cannot even download the free apps!  I have recently got an Itunes gift card for Christmas, and I put it into my Iphone, and Itunes says I have the money from the gift card.  I started to notice this when I was my grandparent's house a few days ago for Christmas, and it wouldn't let me get an app, even though it was free.  I thought it was because of a diffent type of WiFi or because I was at a different place, but when I got home, it still wasn't working.  Whenever I try to buy or download something, it says, "Verification Info."  I click continue, and it says that I need to buy money with a credt card, even though I have money in my account!  This has also happend to my sister (she has an iphone 4).  Please help!

    Hi there,
    The current file type is a VLC media file (.flac) (.flac), 34MB. I have never had any trouble adding music before, I have always been able to simply drag them into itunes and they have transferred perfectly so I don't have any idea what has changed.
    iTunes does not support FLAC. The formats supported by iTunes are -
    AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
    In addition it is possible to import unprotected WMA files and during the import iTunes will make a new converted version (usually in AAC format).
    If you are using iTunes on a Mac there is a complicated unofficial method that will let you add FLAC files in to iTunes but this is not possible with iTunes for Windows.
    It is possible to use Apple Lossless in iTunes (as listed above this is officially supported) and use the same Apple Lossless files in Windows Media Player, Microsoft MediaCenter, foobar, WinAmp, dbPoweramp, VLC, and many others. Some of these need free plugins to add support for Apple Lossless but to illustrate it is possible, I have all my music in Apple Lossless (in iTunes), and share the same files with WMP and Microsoft MediaCenter.

  • I cannot found iLife app on my macbook pro and when i want to buying it i cannot and i have this massage (These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's P)

If you don't have access to that AppleID and want to receive future updates, you will needto purchase the applications ) what i want to do now ? please tell me

    Either use the Apple ID you used when you originally purchased the applications or you will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. If you did not have the other Apple ID, then you have the applications illegally or they were improperly included with a computer you purchased from someone else.

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
    Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)

    I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

    I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
    Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
    I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
    Any guidance would be great.

  • Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

    Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy  a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
