Creative and the Trade Descriptions

I bought a Creative Zen Micro about 2 months ago. of the reasons i bought it as opposed to the Ipod was so i could synch my Outlook contacts / calendar with the device.
With the latest firmware for MTP support 2.002 and an XPsp2 machine running outlook 2003 with all the recommended patches from microsoft, the synch doesn't work.
What say you creative ?
When is a suitable firmware relase coming out for this product that allows it to DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN.
I wouldn't be surprised if a class action lawsuit was filed against you for selling goods under false pretences.

Thats not the release that i am running. You said Zen Micro (2..02)
like i said i am running 2.00.2.
If i do a software autoupdate i am informed that Zen Micro (2..02) is available however
IMPORTANT: This is a beta (unfinished) version of this update. Before installing beta firmware, you should understand that a beta release does not have the stability of released Creative firmware. You could experience problems while using it.
Beta releases are meant for testing and validation, so you may encounter problems with a beta release that could possibly result in loss or corruption of data, require a reformat of the device, or, in extremely rare cases, may render the device inoperable.
So - what are Creatives recommendations

Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1.

Hi,
If you read the disclaimer?(placed at the top of each forum boards), you will realize that this is not a?support?forum. Customer Support does not monitor these?threads. If we have?information on the drivers release, we will post it up here. Posting the same message across?multple boards?won't?make a difference. Please refer to the rules & regulations.

Creative in the dock over driver issues for older cards and upsetting consumers please read!

To Who this may concern at TOP LEVEL AT Creative's Board It's come to my attention to a very serious issue From Creative,and the story starts from here.
I have just required the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card so looking to install the latest drivers from CREATIVE'S UK WEBSITE. So I look into the date which is 9/4/200 on Creative's website. However I did abit more investigating into the issues from other consumer's from passed half soaked drivers that Creative are supposed to put right with their half asleep development team(what a joke!!).
AS I did more research? on this issue on the forums and hardware websites, it came across to my attention on a Brazilian I. T. Expert called Daniel Kawakami (surprisesurprise and I don't suppose Creative know anything about him other than trying to kick him the balls for his work to help others with their sound cards very good PR work Creative well done!!!!).So armed with all this information and believe me I have gone into alot of reading in the forums about the issues,and yes Creative Board Of Directors you are entitled to your Copy Rights,for now !!!
So I find out more about this super hero Daniel Kawakami? to Creative's miss givings to put right the Drivers for Consumers let down by Creative, I came across one of the driver updates for the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card done by Daniel Kawakami, and Bingo most consumer's now have a working drivers by him.
So for all the hard work and precious time this Daniel Kawakami has done for Creative Consumers(including me) YOU SELFISH CREATIVE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S go and kick him the face, so I will say this to you what about his rights as a creative product consumer? ,his driver copy rights and on top that his right to put things right that your team cannot put right in the first place. This is the EXACT PEOPLE WE NEED IN THIS HIGHLY COMPLICATED IT INDUSTRY, so what do you do you try and do, you bin him.
So Creative I am going to ask some questions and I EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER THEM with me as a CONSUMER OF YOUR PRODUCTS(customer is King not you!!)
1. The drivers you realised on the 9th April 200 are working drivers for the Audigy 2 zs for windows 7 ultimate.
2. So how can you convince me that they are working?
3. At the moment I can only trust Daniel Kawakami's? working drivers, since he has had over whelming praise for his work.What makes me think I can trust you with your drivers.
4. Your Drivers came out on the 9/4/200, Daniel Kawakami's Drivers came out on 9/4/200 its too close a call,since your development Team are too lazy to put things right, how can you convince me that you did not copy his Drivers into your download Driver website(I would not be surprised if you did, as it would certainly be a cost cutting exercise ,and taking away his copy rights for all the work he has done for nothing!!!)
5. Are you going to treat customer and consumers better service and support? in the Future,and that includes me,and 3rd party developers like Daniel Kawakami .
The concussion to all of this, there are lessons to be learned by you Creative for your mis givings and the treatment of customers passed and present and especially the appalling treatment of Daniel Kawakami ,this guy deserves far better for his talent. I Have one message for the President Of Creative ,don't you EVER think you can scare me as a customer and also as Registered? disabled deaf person ,and for that reason I have far more powers you will ever have. For what I have read I am so angry and dismayed when someone like Daniel Kawakami is only trying help others ,but to be treated in this way.
It is only right for me to post this ,because You Creative have hurt? alot people and that includes me. I look forward to the comments and p.m.(if I get any) And Daniel Kawakami? I hope you do read this and all the best for the future ,keep doing what you do ,and once again Creative you should be holding your heads in Shame.
Regards Jonoace U.k.

!!! Creative jamais vai responder.
At seria justo se Creative viesse a publico falar de sua incapacidade e que at onde as placas Audigy funcionariam em Vista e ?7.
Mas por?incompet?ncia, pois nem suas novas placas funcionam direito, se era para vender est? mal.
Problemas de memoria superior a 4 gb e tantos outros que Creative no tem respostas;
Drivers de Daniel e Pax so alternativas, mas que tambm tem muitas limitaes.
Sinceramente acho que esta na hora de Creative vir a publico fazer um relato srio, e descrever claramente as limitaes de sua placas colocando um ponto final emexpectativas frustraes eeng dos.
Chega a ser vergonhoso que placas onboard como realtek funcionem melhor que placas Creative;
Realmente, antes era um sonho e orgulho possuir um produto CREATIVE, tornou-se um pesadelo e uma vergonha.
Mas enfim o que fazer, apenas esperar um momento de honestidade por parte de Creative.
Flavio Kern - Audigy 2 ZS
Creative will never respond. So it would be fair if Creative would publish his inability to speak and that even where the plates Audigy would work in Vista and 7. But by incompetence, since neither her new adapter works right, if it was to sell is poorly. Problems of memory above 4 gb, and so many others that Creative does not have answers; Daniel and Pax Drivers are alternati'ves, but which also has many limitations. I honestly think this time Creative come publico do a serious story, and describe clearly the limitations of your cards by putting an end-point on expectations, frustrations and forgeries. It is shameful that onboard realtek cards like that boards Creative work better; Actually, before it was a dream and pride have a CREATIVE product, became a nightmare and a shame. But anyway what to do, just wait a moment of honesty from Creative.

How do I modify the Long Description of video files, so that it shows up when on the iPad or using Home Sharing?

The content manually inserted into the Description field in iTunes does not display in either the iPad Video App nor when using Home Sharing. I then used MetaX to populate the Long Description field, which one cannot modify directly in iTunes. However, the descriptions still do not show up on either the iPad or when using Home Sharing. The problem is only with TV shows that I ripped from legitimate DVDs; items bought from iTunes seem to work fine. So I opened up a file bought on iTunes with MetaX, and the Long Description field is not even populated leading me to believe Apple had that information stored elsewhere. This is getting so frustrating, and Apple customer care does not seem to care.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Where has Apple hidden the long descriptions for TV shows that do show up on Home Sharing? Is there other 3rd party software that may fix the problem? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

But you can listen to the hard disk running. I can use it like an USB device but I can`t listen to music. i tried with the upgrade from firmware but appears:
Device detection failed! Please power off it to generate system file.
Device upgrade failed!What happen is`t death?

Have you tried anything in the recovery mode on the player. If not i would go to creative knowledge base and lookup "recoverymode." I would try the clean-up and format first.

Hi Bernhard,
Answer to your Question:
The original setting :
ANLB-PERFY = 12.
T090NA-XDAILY= " "
some one changed the Dep Key with
T090NA-XDAILY= X
I made the below change:
T090NA-XDAILY= " ".
then there is no error for the Asset.
Please let me know how to identify all the assets that have this error. You have mentioned RAAFAR00 'Recalculate depreciation'.
so my understanding is if i run the program the warning for all the assets appear.
Does calculation of Depreciation AFAB report the assets with errors.
Thanks,
Raja.

A message to Creative from the Linux and geek users commun

Please pardon the possible misspellings/syntax errors in this post, as English is not my nati've language. I am still confident that you will grasp the essence of my message. Thank you.
I have been following the downfall of Creative in the last few days, and all I can say is : You had it coming. I am another customer who was decei'ved by buying one of your expensi've product. I spent 450$ on your X-Fi Elite pro, only to wait endlessly for stable vista drivers, which are still unstable and crippled. Yes, I know you had problems with how Microsoft changed completely its audio API a few months before launching, but the fact is that this is stuff that can happen, and you had to allocate more budget in order to develop drivers quickly to satisfy your customers. Instead, you just ignored us. And now you're paying for it.
It's kind of sad that your stock price is falling, but at the same time, it's about time the consumers could unite and get their revenge, and you are actually paying for laughing in our faces for so long. I have been waiting and waiting for a driver for Linux, since you would not provide stable drivers for Vista. Your website dedicated to open source drivers looks like it was coded in 995, with crappy graphics, just to show us that you don't care. And after waiting for over a year for drivers, you gave us a non-working driver, and you won't post any updates at all. ?
I shell out 450$ for an X-FI Elite Pro, and you laugh into my face, not once (with sub-par drivers for Vista and a long wait), but twice with your non-working Linux drivers ? I'm disgusted.
I wish your corporate people would understand what just happened, and listen to us, the geeky consumers, who buy, recommend, and install your products for themselves, customers, friends, and family. ? But I know that it does not work that way. Your marketing people, your legal department, your finance departement and all your corporate structure don't CARE about the end-user, but you have made a big mistake by ignoring us all these years. If you want to save your company, you really, really need to open up and develop a totally different relationship with your customer base. But knowing how this works, I'm sure that :?
. Nobody important in the company structure will take time to read this thread, hoping it will go away, and thinking that the new product lines will make us forget all of this;
2. You will not take this Public Relations Disaster seriously and think it will simply disapear
Well let me tell you what's gonna happen : Don't underestimate us, your customers. We will remember what happened in the past few days, but also how you treated us in the past few years. Unless you radically change your practices, and really show good faith, you are certainly going down. I, for one, am considering selling my X-Fi Elite Pro and rely only on onboard sound because at least the drivers work on all available platforms. But if you only knew how I wished to have decent support under Linux or Vista ! But you don't even talk with us, you provide crappy drivers and then forget us !? That's not the way to treat us !? So, unless you provide more than your little PR stunt of april st, where you don't even apologize and recognize your lack of support, I will never buy any of your products again, and I will tell everybody I know to stay away from your products.
Be aware : This is not a feeling that will go away in a few weeks/few months. I have been using Creative Cards since 996, and have always been a loyal customer, but I implore you to change, and to do it fast. I really hope you do.
Thank you for your time. ?

Thank you Igor, your article is very interesting indeed, and thanks for the other responses as well, it is really appreciated.
I recently tried OSS on Linux, which offers partial support for the X-FI, but with no success. I fear that without any proper documentation provided to ALSA, the complexity of the X-Fi hardware won't allow the development of acceptable drivers for Linux anytime soon. As for Creative development for Linux, well, just go and check out their support page : http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html.
It is beyond my comprehension as to why Creative simply refuses to document its hardware. I mean, I know about IP considerations and such, but the reality is that Creative has a very large part of the market for high-end audio products, and they do not have yet any serious competitors for the gaming/music enthusiast market who don't want to rely on onboard audio. (I know about M-Audio and a few others, but they mainly appeal to profesionals). So, to document their hardware for the open source community has more benefits than risks, since they don't have to pay for driver development, and since they almost sued daniel_K, I'm not afraid that their legal department would track anyone who would try to breach any IP rights by developing some hardware with the documentation they would release. So WHY ? WHY Creative, won't you release proper documentation? Why won't you help us help you ? Is it just by ideology ? That opening your code is bad ? Well, you're wrong. ?
But it may not be too late, should you *AT LEAST* provide us communication about what's going on at Creative regarding open source. Is it that hard for a Multinational Firm to hire a few developers to develop a driver for Linux ? Why won't you put up a blog for your developer, who can talk about what they're doing, what are the limitations, the hurdles, but at least show a little transparency and stop pretending you really care. ?

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW. However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW. How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?

Adobe Functional Content and the Creative Cloud

Hello All
To any Adobe Employee who may read this, can you please get someone at Adobe to take control of this issue and see that the library, templates and all other functional content gets packaged correctly and enabled as a download and "sub-install" for the parent product inside the Adobe Application Manager.
I think as subscribing users we should get better service and direction from Adobe in regards to this functional content. As I type this I have more than 10 tabs open, each one leading to a thread that has something to do with how to install and fix a problem with the Functional Content for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Encore.
See if you can in less than 30 minutes figure out exactly what to do to activate this content by reading these threads:

I have been very reluctant to do anything because I am reading a lot of conflicting and incomplete information. This link in particular, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html, is really unhelpful because there are 3 methods to do something but reading it I am not sure if each method does the same thing or if each does one part of the 3 sets of missing Functional Content. Additionally "solution" 3 presents a place to put the content but then leaves out the path we are to do it to.
Most disappointing is the fact that the first "solution" did not get me the menu buttons I am looking for in Encore and I don't know if I screwed up or if the install was incomplete for some reason.
Do I now need to install one of the other "solutions"? Those of you in the community that are about to hit reply, please don't. Do not answer that question.
Here is why...
Adobe is responsible for delivering us customers a product. It is Adobe's responsibility to fix the mess that a number of paying customers are having regarding this Functional Content.
TO ADOBE:
Here is what I and I think a lot of other subscribers want you to do:
You already have a Solution in place. One that doesn't require a lot of user intervention and doesn't require anyone to pick a "solution" and screw it up, search for more help and spend hours of their time fixing a mess.
Adobe Application Manager. Create the proper installation packages. Put them on the servers, tell the AAM how to clean up the mess any users who have tried these "solutions" have made. Then have it install the proper packages as a "Sub-Installation" for each of the parent software that it is for.
This solution will not only make things better for us end users, but you will also make the manageability of the Functional Content easier for your teams as well. And if your teams wanted to add additional Functional Content to any program that is part of the creative cloud or that the Adobe Application Manager manages, then it would be a simple matter of creating an installation package and adding it to the AAM's list of installable programs.
You just did this exact thing with Lightroom 4.1! Why can you not do this for the Functional Content?!?
Back to the Community Members that want to answer my post. Don't. Instead if you agree with me or even if you don't, sign off on this thread or indicate your virtual thumbs down. Either way I don't want an answer, I want an action from Adobe, the only ones who can fix the mess.
I really believe that the Application Manager is the most elegant solution. If any of you have ever used Steam, you know what a great feeling it is when you can download a game demo, try it, buy it and just have everything take care of itself. I don't even have to worry about updates; Steam takes care of my games. And the thing that makes it really valuable? I DON'T PAY $50 A MONTH TO USE STEAM AND HAVE IT JUST WORK, IT IS FREE!
All I want at this point is Functional Content that I don't have to read a 50+ page manual to install. I know that is an exaggeration, but honestly if it is 1 badly written set of instructions or 50 what does it matter? I don't pay Adobe so I can read up on how to install their software; I just want to use it.
I guess I should also point out that this is now the second large hold up to my project that I started subscribing for. The first was a problem that I again had to figure out the solution to by working around it, when again Adobe seems to be unable to correct the problem, here, here, here and here.
And now here I am again at a slight stand still because I can't use my DVD authoring software to create a button on a Wedding DVD menu.
Okay, you can go ahead and reply... but I would still prefer no answers, just /agree or /disagree.

Did you even read the post?

For now though please reference Library, title templates, template projects missing: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore CS5 - CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-mi ssing.html for information on how to obtain the additional content.
Have you read the page in your link?
Can you correctly install from the instructions on that page?
And I quote:
Additional Solution: Install the Resource Central library content
Download the extra library content
Choose your language to begin the download:
English French German Japanese Italian Spanish Korean
Extract the Library content to the Library folder
Extract the zip file that you just downloaded. This will create a .7z file, eg. en-US.7z.
Extract the .7z file to any convenient location, eg. Desktop. This will create a folder based on the language you selected.
Copy the contents of the language folder (eg. en-US) to the following location:
Keywords: cpsid_85388
Where? Copy the contents to where? I don't see a path written there... is it a secret? Do I have to highlight the hidden text? Nooo... that didn't work...
Honestly I must appologize for my brashness and sarcastic attitude. I find it questionable to expect the paid subscribing creative but not technically inclined customers to do the work of fixing this problem when Adobe has the means and the tools to fix it for us.

Ok. Fair enough, I will admit that last night in my anger and frustration I was being a little childish.
But as a Community Professional don't you believe that you would be better served by Adobe if they were to make one easy simple Adobe Application Manager download for the content that should have been published right at the launch of the new version? Wouldn't your time be better spent actually working on your projects rather than fixing Adobe's mess and responding to people in 10 different forums trying to help them?
All of this also makes me wonder how Adobe prioitizes the "bugs" that people are dealing with. Wouldn't it be quick to put a someone or a couple of people on the problem of gathering the functional content and getting them to package it and ready it for publishing through the AAM? The process of adding it to the list of installs might be more complicated but a package that knows where to put the content? I would think that something like this could be give a get it done now priority as it would aleviate a lot of the forum posts and something like the missing export choices in Media Encoder or Premiere Multicamera Issues would take more time due to investigation and so you put them on a priority based on the number of users affected.
It just seems to me that a month after launching a new version is an awfull long time for the publishing of an update to add functional content that was in all the previous versions.
I guess I will stop "ranting" now. Thanks for responding Jeff AW, at least I have official word that there will be some sort of update on this issue.

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems! I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way! So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE! That isn't including the other apps that have had issues! I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging! It is costing me more than just this monthly fee! And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues. Really Adobe?

Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu.
