CREATIVE PUT A CHARGER WITH THE PLAYER

Hello,
I have been a great fan of creative products the great price and function of every product made me happy, but recently I bought a Zen Micro and a Zen MicroPhoto. Two great players with only one flaw, THE USB CABLE IS NO CHARGER. If you are trying to beat the best selling player out there (Ipod) you should put the one thing that matters. A CHARGER it is so simple you come home you go and charge it ANYWHERE where you have electricity. This is like not giving the earphones with the player it limits the buyer, and if this is a money saving trick then maybe it should be saved on the package but put charger. To charge the player it must be connected to a running computer (mostly at night when you are a sleep) and that is not exactly a comfortable thing when you comp. gets fried because of lightling including you player and everything else... I think that Creative is a good company but saving money on a basic and needed thing like a charger is just not the way to go...
SO PLEASE READ THIS, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND MAYBE CREATIVE WILL READ IT ALSO AND CHANGE ITS FLAWS... THANK YOU

True Maybe So, But the MicroPhoto Cost me $320 with tax and if I want a charger Il need to add another $60 to have something that should be there... Might as well buy an Ipod or an Iri'ver
$320 and $60 in what currency? or did you mean $230? I don't understand your #s. The Microphoto has an MSRP of US $229.99, the charger an MSRP of US $29.99. Granted, IMO $260 is still too much cash for a Microphoto w/charger. But again, we chose to buy these products knowing fully well that an AC charger would not be included in the package. Creative didn't force us to buy their mp3 players, and they are not the only mp3 manufacturer on the block. While I agree that the lack of 'accessories' provided with the unit is a bit annoying, I'm more upset with the battery life. If I'd ask Creative to do anything, I'd request they do real tests on the batteries they provide with their units to give a more appropriate hour rating than 'up to 2 hours continuous play' with several caveats on how to get the 2 hours (including, but not limited to, not using basic functions like scanning through tracks,?shuffle mode, using the touchpad or?EQ, etc.). IMO, the lack of real information regarding battery life?is a far more eggregious omission than an AC charger.

  • Creative Zen Vision M no longer charges with the wall char

    I have had a zen vision M for about 5 months and have never had a problem with it til now. I was listening to it this morning and realised it needed charging so i plugged in the charger as well and all was fine. It seemed to charge for awhile and then it stopped and the charge went backwards. Now every time i plug in the wall charger (that came with the player when i bought it in July 2006) it just shows as being on AC power unless i hold it in a specific position. I have it plugged into my computer at the moment and it seems to be charging. the blue light is on and the battery is showing as charging.How do i know if its a problem with my charger or not - i tried my PSP charger as i had seen that in some posts on here and the same thing happened. I think its something internal. I don't want to send it anywhere as of course its out of warranty and i don't want to pay for anything.Anyone have any ideas. I read something about firmware fixing battery charging ability but then it wipes out FM recording - not that i use it that much but i still use it.Anyway im wondering if anyone has any ideas or if anyone else has had the same problem. I searched high and low but i could only find people with charging problems when they first bought the units.Any help would be appreciated as i like to listen to it at work and my work computer won't accept my player as im not an administrator so i can't install it etc. I need to be able to charge it either at home or at work so i can listen to it. Thanks for your time in advance, i really hope someone can help me as i love this groovy player and i just lectured my sister the other day on how much better than an ipod it is and now it goes and does this. Thanks again

    It seems to have fully charged. I left it on while i went out and it now says it has full battery although it still seems to be charging. Does that mean there could be a problem with the AC charger slot on the adapter? Is there any way to buy a new adapter? if that seems to be the problem. If i upgrade to the latest firmware can i go back to the original if necessary?

    Use this configurator, and use the same code it generates with your strobemediaplayback.swf
    Also make sure the domain where strobemediaplayback.swf is being called from and resides, is in your /webroot/crossdomain.xml  file, or it will not work.

  • Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

    Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation.  I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem.  Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes.  Why is this?  How can I or IT fix this?
    Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

    Hi Gveo,
    Please follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager which will help you to get your issue fixed.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen. Won't charge with a enercell charger that I've used since December. It will only charge with the apple USB cord that came with it. And even the takes it about 6 sec. To realize its charging. Help me fix this?

    My iPod touch 4th gen. Won't charge with a enercell charger that I've used since December. It will only charge with the apple USB cord that came with it. And even the takes it about 6 sec. To realize its charging. Help me fix this?

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

  • Ipad 4 not charging with the ORIGINAL Power adapter that came in the box. Can't charge my iPad. I plugged in on PC all night and has been charged to 7%

    Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
    I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
    so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
    I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?
    What can I do? Ay recommendation?
    Please, HELP ME!

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.  You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
    If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out.

  • How to put two files with the same name into the same folder?

    How can I put two files with the same name and the same extention into the same directory?
    Is this even possible?
    Thanks in advance. 

    Are you sure? I would be very surprised if that was the case.
    How does the computer/filing system differentiate the files, if not by their names?
    How do you tell the computer which one you want? (On the command line.)

  • How to put a check with the date

    Hi,
    I have created a ztable with 3 fields .
    clientcode(3),
    date,--date geneated
    version--- fileversion
    i need to update this table everytime i execute the data. Every time version shd get incremented when i execute the program.  When i excute the program next day version shd be updated by '1'.
    i wrote the code for version updated i'm not getting the logic how to put a check with the date.
      SELECT *
       FROM zfi_enetflver
       INTO TABLE gt_flver.
      SORT gt_flver DESCENDING.
      CLEAR: gv_dt, v_file.
      CONCATENATE sy-datum6(2) sy-datum4(2) INTO gv_dt.
      READ TABLE gt_flver WITH KEY client_code = gv_clcd.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        idx = sy-tabix.
        IF gt_flver-zdate = ' '.
          gt_flver-zdate = sy-datum.
        ENDIF.
        IF gt_flver-version = ' '.
          gt_flver-version = '001'.
          gv_filever = gt_flver-version.
          MODIFY gt_flver INDEX idx TRANSPORTING zdate version.
          MODIFY zfi_enetflver FROM TABLE gt_flver. "TRANSPORTING version.
          CONCATENATE 'E:\' 'ENET\' gv_clcd gv_dt '.' gt_flver-version INTO v_file.
        ELSE.
          gt_flver-version = gt_flver-version + 1.
          gv_filever = gt_flver-version.
          MODIFY gt_flver INDEX idx TRANSPORTING version.
          MODIFY zfi_enetflver FROM TABLE gt_flver .
          CONCATENATE 'E:\' 'ENET\' gv_clcd gv_dt '.' gt_flver-version INTO v_file.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    clientcode is the key field in ztable do i need to make date field key ??
    please help me with the logic

    You need to implement below logic:
    1. check if field_date = sy-datum. in this case do nothing.
    2. else . move sy-datum to field_date .
    3. modify your internal table with field_date .
    4. populate final table to database table .
    hope you get it.

    Can iPod classic be charged with the iPhone's or iPad's charger?

    There shouldn't be any issue using one of those chargers.  When I need to charge something, I just connect to any 30-pin connector/charger that's closest.

  • My 3 month old iPad is suddenly not charging with the adapter

    Hi, this feels like a dumb question but when i plug my iPad into the 10W adapter directly into a wall outlet, the message 'not charging' appears next to the battery percentage. What am I doing wrong? It's charged with the adapter before but now all i get is that message. thanks for any help you can provide! Jeannie

    Thanks everyone! I decided to leave it plugged in and it seems to be charging but it still says 'not charging' in the top right corner next to the battery percentage. It seems to be charging slower than usual though. It was at 44% around 10am and at 2 pm it's at 66%. I don't see the lightning bolt through the battery icon like I normally would. what would cause that? I really appreciate all of your help! Jeannie
