Creative Vision M - Radio built into headphon

Hi There,
Thinking of purchasing a Creative Vision M and have a question about the radio. I plan to use my own headphones - I like my noise cancelling Sennheisers. Anyway I read that the radio is partly attached/embedded in the headphones - is this true and therefore if I change to other headphones, how can I receive a decent reception?
Many thanks,
Martin

FM Radio is built into the unit itself. You only need the headphones as an antenna and any headphone can serve as one.

When is the ipod touch going to have a radio built into it, like the new ipod nano

I was wondering when the ipod touch will come out and have radio inbuilt into it like the new ipod nano. I used to have an ipod touch, lost it and got the nano and one of the best things about the nano was the FM radio! So I decided that I wouldn't buy an ipod touch until it had a radio because I listen to the radio more than my music... So I wanted to know how lond I would have to wait.

Creative Vision:M Radio prob

In the US my vision:m had no problem picking up radio stations. But now in Ireland when i do an autoscan, it picks up nothing.
Anyone know why this is?
Thanks.

Sounds like a bad connection internally or something else going out. Your best bet would be to contact Customer Support about your warranty status. Also, just because I know CS is going to ask you to try this, you may want to update your firmware just to eliminate the possibility of a software issue, and because you can tell them you already did it.
Also, please leave the cursing off the forums. We try to be 'family friendly' around here.
Good luck!

Are there any ADA features for the visually impared built into SL?

Hi,
I am just about to buy a mac Mini for my Mother-in-law who suffer from macular degeneration. I was hoping that there might be some features built into Snow Leopard that were designed to assist the visually impared?

It's difficult to generalise for any individual user, as almost every partially sighed person has different preferences.
As V.K. pointed out, there are several features built into the Universal Access pane of System Preferences.
However, you can begin with the Desktop & Screen Saver pane in System Preferences. You can choose from a wide variety of backgrounds to give the appropriate glare reduction and/or contrast enhancement that might be necessary. Try first the Desktop Pictures folder itself, and the Nature folder (Ladybug and Tranquil Surface can be restful for stressed eyes). Wave, in the Black & White collection, can also be helpful, as can Pinstripe in the Patterns folder. Finally, it's worth exploring the Solid Colours, as icons and such show up most clearly against these.
You can also change the background colours of Finder windows (unfortunately only in Icon view), by using the View—>Show View Options menu command (shortcut Command-J), selecting the "Color" radio button and clicking on the white square. This opens the Colour Picker which enables the user to fine-tune the background to suit his or her vision. It can be very helpful to set the backgrounds of different folders to strongly contrasting colours, as they can be easily identified and selected without zooming in to see what they are. For example, if the Applications window is set to blue, the Utilities to a light brown, the Home folder to red, and the Documents folder to yellow, they are very easy to distinguish on the Desktop.
You can change the size of icons and the text identifying them, also in the Finder's View Options pane, and the Highlight colour (in the Appearance pane of System Preferences).
Moving on, in the Universal Access pane, of course there is VoiceOver itself, which enables even totally blind people to operate the Mac more or less comprehensively. However, learning this may be somewhat daunting to a person who is losing her sight, particularly someone new to the Mac. As A Brody indicated, this also provides Braille output, though again there might be a learning curve if the lady does not already know Braille. VoiceOver can be set to use Grade 1 (uncontracted) Braille, which is much easier than the contracted (Grade 2) forms.
Also in Universal Access, as Dire Wolf pointed out, there are several zoom options. The simplest is to hold down the Ctrl key and scroll with mouse or trackpad. There are also fixed zoom positions that may be more suitable, as they can be reached with a single keystroke. The zoom range is up to 20 times magnification. The zoom can be configured to follow the keyboard focus (though this works best in Apple applications, and some third-party apps do not work in this way), or to keep the cursor in the middle of the screen, or to move the image when the pointer reaches an edge of the screen.
The colours of the screen can be inverted, giving white on black instead of black on white, as referred to by Steven. Other colours may give a somewhat strange appearance—but it is worth experimenting with desktop and window backgrounds to give the most satisfactory solution. Alternatively, the whole display can be switched to greyscale, and the contrast tweaked to give maximum readability.
Finally, the third-party application VisioVoice provides a wide range of specialist contrast-enhancement and readability tools, as well as the ability to speak text or convert it to sound files for use in iTunes or on MP3 players and iPods. I know one person who uses the Text Enlarger window to show white text on a dark blue background, as this suits her eye condition best. Others prefer yellow text against muddy brown…
Hope this helps!

Creative Vision:M Driver Softw

Greetings,
I have recently purchased the Creative Vision:M mp3 player. Unfortunetly, I am unable to install the software as my CD-ROM dri've on my computer is not working. I am wondering if there is any other way I can get the software, perhaps through Creative's website by downloading. Or could any kind soul zip the software up and send it to me.
Thanks
Jason.Singapore

Just remember most people that post on forums only do so because they have a problem. There are a lot of folks out there that never have problems and so they never post. Don't read this forum as an indicator that everyone is having these problems because that would not be true.
I have had mine only a short time, but it has worked flawlessly and I suspect it will continue to do so.
In order to use the Zen to store files, you must turn it on via the menu. Extras, Removable Disk. You can set it for 52 KB, GB, .5 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB 8 GB or 6 GB. Anytime you wish to use this space, you simply turn on the Zen, Go to Extra and Removable Disk, then plug it into the computer. It will show up as a hard dri've.

Creative Vision M Probl

The other day the screen on my creative vision M froze so I hit the reset button on the bottom and continued to charge it by USB at my computer. However my mom used it the next day and told me that it seemed to not have charged at all so I decided to retry charging it so i plugged it into my computer again and the blue light by the power switch flashed slowly (which indicates that its charging i think) but nothing appeared on the screen and i can't even power on the mp3 player now... suggestions?

ah.... i guess my mom ran the battery too low, the screen has come up now after about an hour of charging... thanks
Case Solved.

Creative vision:m won't go past the 3rd screen on start

Hello, this is my first post and I just got the creative vision:m for xmas and it was working fine, it has never been dropped and spends most of its time in the pouch. But when I try and start it up no it gets the the 3rd screen and just stays their frozen with all the buttons lit up and the backlight on. I tried the recovery mode and did the clean up and that didn't work, my comp also doesn't recognize when it is plugged into it for some reason, I mean the comp will recognize it but the creative programs won't recognize it so I can't even upgrade the firmware and see if that is a problem.
If anyone can hel that would be amazing because this is very frustrating.
Todd
Edit: I just tried plugging it into my sisters computer and it didn't detect it either, so the problem is definatley with the play, THIS SUCKS!Message Edited by tmrathie on 0-4-200709:07 PM

Creative Vision:M Power Adap

I went to an electronic store to get a power adapter for my vision:m to plug into the wall since I don't always have a computer with me. They gave me a power adapter for a cell phone and said that any mini-USB power adapter should work. Well it didn't!
Has anybody gotten any mini-USB wall power adapters to work? I ordered one from the Creative site but it's on backorder.

Love the Vision but frustrated trying to get it to charge other than with USB connection to computer.
I have the mini USB wall charger from the Micro (and it meets all the specs for the Vision), but it does not work.. When I plug it into the wall it turns on the Vision but does not charge it.
Using the USB connection to the computer takes way too long and is no good when I am on the road - not going to lug around a computer just to charge the thing, so I am about ready to take it back.

Is there a way to disable the HSTS ( HTTP Strict Transport Security ) list built into Firefox or to allow exceptions?

HSTS is problematic in that it incorrectly assumes that all users trust the default list of CAs and makes the adding of exceptions impossible even by advanced users.
For example, torproject.org is inaccessible on Firefox unless I am willing to trust DigiCert to never sign a fake certificate either by negligence or by court order of any country in witch they operate, thereby making every https: site ( not just torproject.org ) vulnerable to a MITM attack.
A user disabling CAs in the browser is not unreasonable given the ever growing list of CAs built into Firefox ( each one a potential point of failure ), the number of CAs that have been recently compromised and the very low standards required to obtain a certificate.
While I understand the desire to protect the average user who doesn't understand how certificates work and will click past warnings without reading them, this protection should not come at the expense of more security conscious users.
I would recommend an about:config setting that would allow the creation of exceptions by users who explicitly choose to do so.
So far the only kludge I have been able to come up with is to modify c:\program files\mozilla firefox\xul.dll with a hex editor and replace the sites on the list ( this is far from an ideal solution ).

dumdidadida: Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't address the problem. HSTS is designed to FORCE the use of https, this is a good thing in most cases. However, HSTS is problematic in that it incorrectly assumes that all users trust the default list of CAs and makes the adding of exceptions impossible even by advanced users.
torprojec.org is just an example, this effects every HSTS site. You can reproduce this problem yourself in version 17 or later if you temporary disable "DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA" in your certificate store and then visit torproject.org. You will notice the ability to add exceptions has been removed and that the cert_override.txt file found in the user's profile is also ignored.

How to use the BD menu built into the player in Encore CS4

I cant get Encore to create a production that responds to the player Top Menu button (Panasonic Direct Navigator table). Cyberlink, which was bundled with the burner, does this by default. Place a number of videos into the production, dont create a menu, and OK!: Press the Top Menu button and the player's built in table pops up with a list of all titles.
In Encore, press the Top Menu button, and you get 'operation not allowed'. It appears that Encore requires a Title button action?, but opening the player table is not an option. There is no Title button on the remote; there is Top Menu and Popup Menu.
There's got to be a simple solution. Player menu tables have been around since DVDs.
thanks

I'm not aware of any method to access a menu system that is only built into hardware. My own Sony DVD does not have such a menu, and if there is none on the DVD, I get none during playback no matter which buttons I press.
The standard method is to add your own menu if you want a menu.

Creative Vision:M freezing repeate

I purchased a Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB back in August, it worked fine until about a week or so ago, when it started freezing repeatedly. Sometimes it freezes in mid-song, and I get an annoying machine gun sound. Sometimes it freezes at the Creative Logo, sometimes it freezes while rebuilding the library, sometimes it freezes when its in "lock" position. I notice that it really likes to freeze if I hit the back button and I want to listen to a song over. I've been resetting the device with a pin in the reset hole, maybe, 5+ times a day. I've reformatted the player from the reset menu, I've gone through the clean up from the reset menu, I've deleted all songs and reinstalled them twice now.
I've gone through the self-fix suggestions in the Knowledege Database. I haven't dropped it, there was no specific cause that started this problem. It is very annoying and difficult to deal with., as I use my mp3 player to jog and to work on my foreign language lessons.
Are there any other solutions to solve this problem, has anyone else had this incessant freezing of a Creative Vision:M, and/or is it time to get an RMA and return the product to Creative?
Thanks for any responses.

I should add that I've reinstalled the firmware, but I have not yet done it since my last reformat of the player. I notice that the firmware is not available for download at this time, correct?

How to update flash player built into CS5

Hi
Does anyone know how to go about getting the Flash Player(s) that's built into the CS5 IDE updated? According to System.capabilities.version, it's running v10.1.52.14 which, according to this page on the Adobe site, says was a pre-release version of Flash Player and should not be used! It also seems to have an annoying bug where HTML tags are frequently shown as raw HTML, rather than being rendered, which makes testing stuff in the IDE a real pain.

Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
Here is the situation:
My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
Thanks in advance...

The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
O.K. that should be enough for the moment...

I recently bought a new Imac. Do I have to set up a wireless router or can my other devices connect thru the WIFI built into the Imac??

For the Internet, you should set up a router on your modem, this router will route the packets to any device on the local area network.
If you use the iMac as a router, like if you connect the Ethernet cable from your modem to the iMac, then broadcast a Wifi signal, the iMac will have to remain on all the time, at full power. Thus drastically shortening it's lifespand.
A router is only about $100 or so, offers much better security as it's like a large guard, someone has to hack through router first to get your iMac or other devices.
If it breaks, you buy another 5 years later for another $100, so your not placing all that always on wear and tear on your expensive iMac.
Apple's airport routers are pretty good, easy to set up and have automatic firmware updates, plus music sharing etc.
Set up properly you will be very secure
