Creative Mods PLZ READ T

Ok I know you probably read this alot but what is happening with the zen touch firmware. It was ment to be out Q. then you said Q2 and its now Q3 and its still not here. What are you playing at if u can reel out micro firmware just like that then im sure in 7 months you can make a bug free zen touch firmware packed with features. (You've more than enough time for that). I have created this topic so other zen touch owners can see the progress of the release of this firmware. Any constucti've reply is welcomed.

I too do NOT wish to be associated with any 'bashing or flaming' but would also really like to know a little more please.... why? well this is why..
I joined Napster to go and now pay my ?5 a month in the UK. I joinded To Go so I could down load and refill my MP3 player as many times as I wished too LEGALLY which is a really good way to enjoy lots of music LEGALLY.
I saw their list of players that were ok to use and then more than would be ok soon after a software upgrade.
Great I thought, I wanted to go for one of Creative best players the 20 gig Touch which will be upgradeable soon so I can use it with Napster to go, no point in getting a small 5 gig player, we all know how fast space gets used up these days! so I'll get the 20 gig Touch. I eagerly rushed out and bought myself a Zen Touch for a fairly large amount of money.
When I got it I came here to pick up any firmware upgrades etc to make sure I was ready to go. That's when I picked up on this topic on the forum (boy I wished I read it before) I am really down hearted to read all the 'problems' about the firmware upgrade with the Touch, especially as there is no information forth coming really... and more so beacuse I'm now paying for a Napster service I cannot use....
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.... I just hope that we can get this upgrade soon, please Creative, thanks guys.

  • KDE 4 suddenly doesn't like theming anymore :S [solved, mods plz read]

    Moderators, please move this thread to the packaging section since it'd probably go better there now.
    So I installed KDE a while ago, slowly. First all I needed was Kolourpaint, then after KDE 4 came out, the whole of KDE. And I've slowly been warming to the desktop as time has gone on, and will likely extract bits of it out, eg the desktop manager, and stuff them into my own highly customized desktop when I get my new box.
    At first, everything worked just fine - happy user here (I use Openbox, but having KDE there was just... nice. I think KDE is very high quality, etc, blah blah KDE vs. GNOME etc etc ).
    Then one day KDE randomly decided to, like, go all icky. Well, maybe not entirely randomly - while updating KDE (for whatever reason, I can't exactly remember why I upgraded, except that I noticed I was installing KDE 4.1.2 or something when I did start the upgrade), I did a quick df -h to make sure I'd have enough space and discovered that my home folder had about 250MB or something like that left in it. (I'm really low on diskspace in my home folder, but I have a spare 18GB partition on my box at /storage with 12GB free, I plan to move a fair chunk of data across sometime) so I decided to ^C the upgrade to move a few hundred MBs of stuff over onto /storage, enough for me to get KDE installed. Then I continued the upgrade, and it got me here. Note that I CTRL+C'd the upgrade while pacman was downloading, not installing, and that's why the following makes no sense.
    Some other things I've done:
    - Tried to 'startkde' in an Xnest window too many times to count, with it failing 88% of the time (I was aiming for the other 22% success rate to continue what I was doing )
    - Tried to figure out how to make KDE 3 apps look nice / use my KDE 4 theme (I discovered qtconfig in this period)
    It used to have the awesome KDE 4 theme, the first time it happened it started up with the icky, horrible CDE theme.
    I was like "AGH MAJOR EW" and ran to systemsettings to try and change my theme back... only to discover that approximately 100.1% of the themes available had disappeared, leaving only 5 very icky ones in their place, CDE, Cleanlooks, Win9x, Motif and Plastique. That last one suggests that KDE 3 has somehow taken over my system.
    I've reinstalled the kde group.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled KDE. Twice.
    I'm thinking it's something in my home folder.
    What do I do next?

    have you tried 
    rm -r ~/.kde4?
    I know I've had some upgrade trouble at some points with kde4 and removing all kde4 settings and starting over is a usually a good place to start.
    FWIW, I have all the themes you mentioned for qt4 as well, so not necessarily any indicator of kde3 at work.

    I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?

    When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

  • Strong named DLL cannot be detected in Protect Mode of Reader X

    Hi, all
    I have a DLL created by C# 2.0. I used it as COM object in my plug-in of reader to communicate with 3rd-party application which is used as a host.
    Now, I have issue about "strong named DLL cannot be detected in Protect Mode of Reader X".
    If I don't make it as strong named DLL, it can be loaded in plug-in with help of white-list.
    But there will be a "Class not registered" COM error thrown if it's a strong named DLL.
    How to solve this issue? Thanks very much~
    By the way, it works fine if I disable Protect Mode. But it's not good solution to disable Protect Mode always. I am painful of this issue

  • Is energy saved if in airplane mode while reading iBooks?

    Is energy saved in airplane mode while reading iBook?

    Your iPad's wifi circuity (and cellular circuitry, if it has any) draw some power whether you're connected to a network or not and whether you're actively transferring data or not. Swithcing to Airplane Mode will save a bit of power in situations where you do not need a network connection.

  • When are Creative going to release NEW Audigy 2 ZS drivers? (CAT/ADMINS plz read last pos

    <SPAN>Hi
    <SPAN>First and foremost I would like to emphasise this post is by no means a flame against the hardworking staff at Creative Labs, but more of a curious question.
    <SPAN>I am a relati'vely happy owner of an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum PRO. Apart from a few niggling teething problems which were sorted out extremely well by Technical Support (they even shipped me a newer revision of the driver installation CD free of charge) I have had no problems!!!
    <SPAN>HOWEVER, Doom3 version .3 added OpenAL and EAX 4 support, which as you might have guessed is good news for us Audigy2/ZS/4 owners.
    <SPAN>Unfortunately to get the best out of Doom3 I had to download BETA drivers, this was not really a problem since they are relati'vely stable, but these drivers do have a few niggling problems.
    <SPAN>For Example, the THX Setup console does not remember the speaker position settings. AND Half-Life 2 requires the speakers to be set each time I enter the game.
    <SPAN>E.g each time I load Half-Life 2 I have to set the speakers to 7. surround (pre BETA drivers did not have this problem)
    <SPAN>It would be nice if somebody from Creative was to either release an updated version of the BETA driver (preferably non-BETA), an updated THX setup console, OR to inform us when a new Driver and applications will arri've.
    <SPAN>Not meaning to sound rude, but FOUR MONTHS is rather a long time for a Driver to stay in Beta status.
    <SPAN>Thanks for your time
    <SPAN class=time_text>
    <SPAN>Cat top day to you!
    <SPAN>I have a suggestion, or rather proposition that Im sure allot of folks here will agree with. <IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif" width=6 border=0>
    <SPAN>How about instead of the preview site http://preview.creativelabs.com being used exclusi'vely for releasing beta <SPAN>64Bit drivers for public testing (which next to nobody uses). How about you (Creative) extend public beta testing to <SPAN>32Bit drivers and applications for release on the http://preview.creativelabs.com website ?.
    <SPAN>Imho it will make the official drivers much more stable and worthwhile for the average user. It is just a thought and suggestion .<IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif" width=6 border=0>
    Message Edited by JohnZS on 08-25-2005 :42 PM

    That would be fantastic CAT if you could fill us in on driver update. 4mths is a bit much.
    I use the beta's ATM jut to test em out and give feed back on how they work.
    Still no EAX in BF2, However I get better performance and no more sound drop out, YAH. TOP JOB TEAM !!!!
    Seem stable and all console apps work fine.
    Though I still get NO eax ( reverb, occlusion ) in the following games.
    Soldier of fortune 2
    Starwars BattleFront
    Call of duty and Call of Duty UO
    Painkiller
    BattleField Vietnam
    GTA SA
    UT 2004.
    Hmm, thats alot of games that STATE EAX that I dont get it with. Even with other drivers I still get no EAX.
    I do get AWESOME EAX in these games though.
    Rainbow SIX raven sheild
    Theif 2 DS
    V8 supercars 2
    Colin MCrea rally 4
    So my card is fine and working perfectly.
    Hope the next set fixes everything up EAX wise.

  • Help! is itunes 6 worth downloading? plz read

    I was wondering if ne of u have downloaded the recent upgrade to itunes the itunes 6 and if it was worth downloading because i read a bunch of problem ppl were having with itunes 5.01 and i dont wanna download this and then get screwed because i jsut loaded all 60 of my cds on here and that took like 3 days so plz write back

    Don't Do it. Stay with wat you got, it works.
    iTunes 6 has messed up more windows computers than can be easily counted, the outraged posts on these discussion boards are only the tip of the iceberg so to speak.
    I had the older iTunes, it worked great!
    But now, on my laptop iTunes 6 acts like some trojan program, trying to make connections to the internet when it's not supposed to do that. When it can't connect, it hangs, and you can not even end-task the dead zombie program.
    Nothing else was changed, so it's not a Windows issue.
    iTunes 6 will not allow Windows XP Home Ed. to even reboot properly, and no, the combatability mode (Windows 2000) didn't fix it.
    I don't know what they did, but iTunes 6 does not seem as stable as the older iTunes.
    So, my advice is if you can, Wait for iTunes 6.1 when they have had time to clean up all the problems. And you might wait on getting a video iPod, too. Being first is not always good!
    I look forward to Apple's updates.
    I've enjoyed iTunes from the start, and it seems each major revision runs into some bugs that need working out, before they get it running smoothly.
    Maybe the programmers were forced to rush delivery of the new iTunes with Video? Meeting short deadlines can be very stressful.
    I bet everybody has been working very hard to make the major changes to iTunes and the iPod. I know writing software isn't easy, everything has to be perfect!
    I just wish Apple would post a small link to download the older versions, so all the people who have now have damaged windows computers could roll-back to the older iTunes and enjoy their music and shop at the music store again.
    Good luck to all the programmers, debuggers and QA guys, thank you for making iTunes even better!

  • Creative cloud/acrobat/Reader

    I am unable to open any of my PDF files. This problem started today, 12/30/14.  Every time time I click on a PDF files, it prompts me to Renew my subscription to Creative Cloud. Whatever happened to the free version of reader/acrobat?  I cancelled my Creative Cloud membership, I just cannot afford the $19.99 monthly payment. I just don't understand why I am having this problem. Shouldn't these programs run independent of each other?  Oh , I went to the tech support site and follow the step to repair reader/acrobat, but nothing is working.  HELP!
    Thank you,
    Maria

    Hi Maquenca,
    I believe Acrobat is still installed on your machine and is trying to open the PDF.
    As the subscription is cancelled Acrobat is getting launched in trial mode and is asking you to renew the subscription.
    To avoid this, you can uninstall Acrobat or make Adobe Reader the default PDF viewer.
    Right click on any PDF file and select 'Open with-Choose default program'. Select Adobe Reader and click OK.
    Also check the box 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.
    Now the PDFs should get opened in Adobe Reader.
    Regards,
    Anand

  • STUCK IN DFU MODE   PLZ HELP ME

    RECENTLY GOT A GIFT PACKED IPHONE 4S. LAST NIGHT MY PHONE WAS IN DFU MODE. IJUST WANTED TO UPDATE NEW FIRMWARE. BUT WHEN I CONNECTED TO LAPTOP AFTER PRESSED RECOVERY IT TOOK TIME AND SHOWD AN ERROR 1611 . WHATS THE MATTER . ITRIED ON ANOTHER PC BUT SAME PROB IM STILL IN DFU   PLZ HELP ME 

    From another post:
    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

    As specified, you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is Creative Alchemy Supported on Vista 64 bit? Attention Creative Mod p

    Ok I'm confused.
    I've had a creative X-Fi Fatalty card for a couple of years that came with a Mesh pc I bought.
    So I buy all the kit for a new pc and think I can just move the card across. I install Vista 64, install service pack and all is peachy apart form my Razer mouse that needs a new driver.
    I install a load of old games and they work fine. Some fine tuning for allowing games to run as admin, but considering my new pc is so much faster, and the greater security (i've been told, and call me sad?but i believe it) I'm thinking its worth it.
    Wow I think, this vista malaky's great!
    Pop in my creative?soundcard?download the drivers and think here we go.
    So I install Half life 2. A fairly old game. And it all starts going wrong. I load up the first level and I suddenly only have 2.0 sound.
    open up the console and notice all kinda errors (on screen node graph out of date, A. I.disabled, and a load more in the console when i look).
    Are they caused by Vista or Creative? I dunno, i didn't load half life prior to installing the card so it could be either to be fair.
    So I read up more to try to work it out and I come across a funny thing. If in Creatives download manger pages you tell it you have a creative Fatalty soundcard,and you have a vista 64bit operating system then there are no downloads.
    But if you put in Vista 32 bit then you get offered the Alchamey drivers. Which state that they are for 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista.
    Now i've been looking at these forums for the last 2 days and I'm begining to feel a little worried. I'm not a sound Guru and I don't understand alot of whats been discussed. I don't feel i'm in a place to pass judgemnt on Creative cos the only contact I've had with their support staff was with a Zen Micro that was out of warrenty and they fixed that for free. Didn't even charge me P&P to send it back!
    So I'm really not sure where I stand. I'm about to download the alchemy software that may/may not work with vista 64 by admission of their own website, and can't help but feel that support isn't quite what I was hoping for, and used to. Is the MP3 part of Creative effectivly a seperate company or something?
    Now I don't want to start yet another bash creative post.
    What I'd really like is a comment from Creative as to why their driver page does/doesn't offer you the right downloads and a solution to my problem.
    Call me selfish but I kinda dcame to the Creative Help forums for some, well, Help.
    I'd really appreciate if all the pro and anti forum trolls could stay off this topic and give creative a chance to show they can do good support.

    JohnZS, thanx very much for the prompt response. I really do appreciate it.
    But let me get this straight.
    I've had to download a software package from a page I shouldn't have been at.
    I have to add values to a software package that I have to rely on good natured people on a forum to supply.
    And no offence, but even then I don't have the whole answer. I have to search manually for the registry or game path for the ?.exe? I assume (I'm doing this whilst tring to solve my prob, so I could well be wrong about this) tomake the **bleep** think work.
    And this thing is Vista stickered?
    Ok still going with the no bandwagon jumping plse people, I'm just an honest guy with no agenda apart from blowing **bleep** up on my poota as a stress release, so I'd like to see from Creative where I'm going wrong here.
    Oh I seriously forgot the no swearing policy, and on forums like this I do agree with it, its just its late, i'm a bit annoyed, and to be frank, slightly drunk.

  • Protected Mode of Reader X does not work if explorer.exe is not a parent process [2008R2 RDS/TS]

    We are running IE8 as a RemoteApp on Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services "Terminal Server". It has Reader X installed.
    When opening linked PDF document, it shows the protected mode "fail" dialog.
    If, instead, explorer.exe is launched as remote app, and ie8 is started from explorer,
    opening PDF files in protected mode works.
    This is regardless of settings, 32/64 bitness, whether iexplore is launched as remote app or
    in full RDP session using "alternate shell:". If explorer is not parent of the process subtree,
    protected mode doesn't work.
    What might be the issue, and is there a workaround that does not involve starting explorer.exe?

    This problem is fixed in the latest Reader X update 10.1.
