Creative X-Fi2 A/V cable problems

I received the cable in the post today, when I tried it out on the TV, the audio & video was distorted beyond the point of watchable, I tried switching the playback between PAL, NTSC & NTSC-J but with no progress, I've tried it on different TVs with the same results,using the latest firmware, any ideas?

Right today i've tried to watch creatve zen's video on my Samsung TV and i've experienced the same problem! I thought it was cable's fault because it's not creative original one...
I did the switching between PAL, NTSC etc.. too but nothing changed.
Audio is quite ok (a bit of distortion) but video signal is totally scrambled...
Any ideas? or, even better, any solution?
ps.
I've tried out many different cables: a simple one with 3,5mm jack, the one provided with my nokia handyphone and another one provided with my camera...always the same useless results.

My iPhone 4 is no longer recognised by my laptop, and no longer registers being plugged in to charge, even though it will charge slowly if plugged in and turned off. It's not a cable problem or a computer problem, as I've checked these.

Hey, over the past couple of days my iPhone 4 (GMS, Model A1332, EMC 380B - running on iOS 7.1.2) has begun inexplicably intermittently not recognizing being plugged in to charge or being connected to my laptop. As of today, it has complete stopped recognizing being plugged in to charge or connected to the laptop.
If I plug it in to charge, whilst it is on, nothing happens and the battery drains.
If I plug it in to charge and turn in off, it will charge very very slowly - though it will charge fully after a long time.
When I connect it to my laptop, nothing happens - it doesn't appear in iTunes, and it doesn't charge or recognize being connected to the laptop (there is no charging symbol, no noise from either phone or computer registering the connection as it usual did, or another sign of any connection between the devices, though, again, it will charge very slowly if turned off).
I've ruled out the possibility of it being a cable problem, by using a friend's cable and finding that didn't allow it to recognize being plugged into the wall to be charged either, or being plugged into the computer.
My friend's cable does work on their own iPhone (ie, when plugged into the wall with their cable, their iPhone acknowledges this and charges properly, and when plugged into my computer with their cable both my computer and their iPhone recognize the connection).
So, it's definitely a problem with my iPhone itself, but I don't know what.
As I say, it will charge very slowly, if it's switched off whilst it's plugged in, but it won't acknowledge being plugged in, and will only drain if it is turned on whilst being plugged in - and it will not recognize being connect to my computer.
Please help me figure out what is wrong with it, as this is beyond annoying and I'm literally banging my head against the wall - the iPhone is little over a year old.
Cheers.

You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond

try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

Hi, I stopped using this MP3 for about 2 or so years because I bought a new one. I decided to start using it again and downloaded all the required software but as soon as I unplugged the MP3 from the power outlet, the player died. I can't get it to start up without plugging it into a power outlet. I think it has rechargable battery? Why didn't it recharge itself?
My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
Thanks in advance!
The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage. You can find instructions to open here ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Drkr...e=channel_page & ? the battery here(very easy to do) http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Creative-ZEN-Vision-M-30gb-Battery-LPCS285385_W0QQitemZ400028645679QQcmdZViewItemQQpt ZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item40002864567 9&_trksid=p39.c0.m4&_trkparms=72%3A205|66%3A4|65%3 A2|39%3A|240%3A38|30%3A0|293%3A|294%3A200

Thunderbolt display video died-Cable problem??

My TD (paired with a Retina) video seems to have lost its video. Audio working fine. Could this be a cable problem?

I can confirm that the Thunderbolt Display will work when plugged in to the 2011 MacBook Pro 15" and a 2011 Mac Mini Server connected via Apple's Thunderbolt cable. When both systems are connected to the monitor, the display will always prefer the system connected to its display port, when it sleeps or is powered down, the other system detects the available display and connects to it automatically. I can't imagine a more ideal sinerio!
Thank you Apple!

Solaris 8 says: "Link down, Cable Problem?"

I have these on my home LAN:
1. Sun Ultra 5 Solaris 8
2. Win 2000 PC
3. Win NT laptop
They are all hooked into a LinkSys Router.
The Router is hooked into my Motorala Cable Modem.
Here's the problem:
The PC and the laptop can see each other on the LAN.
The Solaris 8 is only visible on the Lan INTERMITTENTLY.
The lights on the Router for the PC and laptop are always ON.
When I reboot the Solaris box, the lights on the Router sometimes come ON, and sometimes they stay OFF. When they stay OFF, I see the message: "Link down, Cable Problem?" during reboot.
I have tried different cables, and tried various combinations of the 4 avalable ports on the back of my Router.
If I plug in the Sun box DIRECTLY into my cable modem, then I don't see the above message. (but then I don't have a LAN anymore)
Please help, I've been struggling with this for a while now.
Thanks,
Irshad Ahmed (I am relatively new to Sun)

Hi
You have not indicated if you have the router ethernet ports working
at 100Mbps or 10Mbps. Depending on this sometimes, Sun systems may
not be correctly auto-negotiating their ethernet port settings.
You may set these parameters to force Sun Ultra 5 to a 100Mbps mode or a 10Mbps mode.
For forcing it to 100Mbps, Full Duplex mode and disabling the auto-negotiation, put these entries in /etc/system:
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
Conversely, if you want to force your Sun to work on 10Mbps, Full
duplex mode, (if your router does not support 100Mbps) in the same
/etc/system file, put the following entries :
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
One of these should solve your problem. You need to reboot the system
after putting these entries.
You can also check the port at the OK prompt using the command
"watch-net". This test the onboard ethernet interface.
You may also apply the hme patch released by Sun that fixes many
known problems with hme ethernet driver. The patch id is 108981-03.

Hme0: Link Down - cable problem?

i've a problem i've buyed an ultra 10 (used)
i've reinstalled solaris 10 01/06
when it boot the o.s. it give this error message "hme0: Link Down - cable problem?"
and network don't work.
i cannot ping my router but i've gave to my sun an ip of the same netmask (sun ip 192.168.1.88 router ip 192.168.1.1)
i've checked the cable and it's good (it work with a normal pc)
the led on the switch is on (it's green)
maybe i need some patch
how can i do?

gio,
You didn't necesarily do anything wrong.
You do not necessarily have any broken equipment.
There may just be somthing that is incomplete in the setup.
Begin by checking if your network settings were set up correctly by running:
# ifconfig -a
(it's usually best to troubleshoot while you are root user)
If the output from the ifconfig command seem to be complete, you could always think about reconfiguring the NIC all over again.
If you are not sure, then just paste the entire output results back here.
Also, use the forum search function, using keyword sys-unconfig.
Next, read the Solaris man pages for sys-unconfig.
That command will force you to repeat the setup of the connection.

Howto Link Down-Cable problem?

Hi,
I am having a Ultra Sparc 5 with a hme interface and a quad card. When the machine boots it checks at boot prom level all 5 interface and reports for all qfe interfaces "Link Down-Cable problem?". All qfe interfaces do not have a ethernet connx but I also do not want to deinstall the quad card. Is there any possibility to turn thoose "interface checks" off.
Thanks Marcus

Never mind I just figured out that thoose checks just run after the boot cdrom command.

Is this just a LVDS cable problem? Help please

http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/1/3/1/9/0/5/webimg/371736702_o.jpg
I was told that this could just be a LVDS cable problem, but I've also read it could be a logic board problem. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, the above was the report after the MacBook had been plugged in for a few days. I decided to see what came up when I started on the battery, but the first time I tried it, as soon as Safari launched (it's a login item) it went down. So I let the battery get back up to 100%, and restarted, bypassing login items. System Info reported this:
Battery Information:
Model Information:
Manufacturer: DP
Device Name: ASMB013
Pack Lot Code: 1
PCB Lot Code: 0
Firmware Version: 102
Hardware Revision: 300
Cell Revision: 200
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh): 4120
Fully Charged: Yes
Charging: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4273
Health Information:
Cycle Count: 37
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -2054
Voltage (mV): 10705
I note that those last two items are quite different, and indeed, the voltage had been reduced to < 11V. Dunno if that's significant.
I then tried launching Safari and it promptly went down. It occurred to me that the issue might involve Safari specifically in some way, so I let the battery charge back up again, de-logined Safari, and restarted. I was able to launch a few smaller applications; then I launched Backup, so far so good, but when I tried actually starting a backup, poof.
It's too bad I can't either find a MacBook to borrow to try with my battery or borrow a battery; no one I know has an appropriate model MacBook.

CA-42 SOLVED USB CAble Problem !

Here is the answer to many CA-42 Cable problems people are having.
First, Nokia says you must use their cable. NOT! The problem with the Chinese cables I found is the pins are not even. With a file, file down the pins so they are all the same length. With 1 or 2 pins longer than the others, the remaining pins do not make contact. Do not file down the longer ones any farther than the short ones. It will work !
It works. I have been trying to get this resolved for 3 days. Filed the pins so

Try uninstalling PC Suite, and also the Nokia Connectivity Cable drivers from Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs).
Then download and install the latest version of PC Suite with the latest cable drivers from:

Audigy 2 value. Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to clo

At last I installed the audigy 2v software but I get this error when I try to open creative smart recorder."Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to close." My mic functions but my speakers don't. So I have switched to my on board card now. I am using Windows Xp, service pack 2. Everything functioned perfectly until I got the last updates using autoupdate. Any suggestions?

Thanks PeeBee! For some reason WMP burned those songs as write-protected (although at some point in the past I had turned it off). I reburned those songs and they uploaded just fine. Now if only I can figure out this video thing. Thnaks again. - Chris

White screen on my 3gs, i would like to spot the problem if it is a cable problem or an LCD problem?

after dismantling the iphone 3gs and reassmble it again i got a white screen, i would like to spot the problem if it is a cable problem or an LCD problem?

Steps for iPhone white screen, #1 Reset. If fixed done. If the screen becomes normal, but then again goes back to white screen, fix is new LCD Display. If remains continuous white screen after Reset, then the problem could be Logic Board or LCD Display, in this situation try a new LCD Display hoping it will fix issue, but will not if problem is Logic Board fault.
Before opening and during all repair of iPhone 3GS make sure it is OFF. This is why you now have a White Screen, try not to make that mistake again.

X-FI2 Random Play All Problem

HI All,
I've spotted another prob with X-FI2 whichI think may be linked to it not recognising all albums on the player. Has anyone else noticed that if you go to the DJ option and choose Random Play All, it chooses only 00 tracks (the same tracks every time) and just cycles through them. Its driving me mad, I have 4300 tracks on uploaded but its just cjhoosing those 00 to play. Its also annoying because 99.9% of the time I have my mp3 player on this play mode.
Anyone spotted this too, and can it be fixed without firmware update?
Just thought, also, does anyone know of a proper user guide for the X-FI2. I've downloaded Creative Centrale but can't find any doc with more thorough instructions in than are in the quickstart guide?
Thanks in antcipation of any assistance

Having sorted these problems, I thought I'd reply to my own posting so other Zen newbies can share.
If you update with the .0 firmware, that fixes the problem of the random play all choice only cycling through 00 tracks.
To get user manual for the X-FI2, you need to install the Creative Centrale software. This then creates a folder in your program files called Creative (C:/program files/creative). The user manual is in there.
These are probably dead basic answers to dead basic questions, but if you didn't know the answer, then it might as well be the hardest answer in the world.

Creative T7700 and DTS-100 Decoder (PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP)

Hi
I purchased a Creative T7700 Speaker system and DTS-100 Decoder the other week but so far have had no luck getting it to work. I use a Gigabyte GA-K8NS ULTRA motherboard which came with an audio combo kit that supports 7.1. I did everything the logical way, Connecting the black wire to black socket in speaker and red tabbed wire to the red socket in speaker, I then connected each speaker to the sockets at the back of subwoofer. Then I connected the audio cables (grey, blue, orange, black) from sub to the Decoder switch, then connected the other wires from switch to the audio jacks at the back of the PC(blue plug to blue socket, black plug to black socket, orange plug to orange socket), The I connected the hardwired plugs in decoder switch to the decoder. Finally, I plugged the mains power to the decoder and subwoofer but got no sound at all. I checked the 7.1 was set up on computer and it was.
HAS ANYONE ANY IDEAS WHY I GET NO SOUND? :smileyindifferent:
1. I know I have power cause the circular green light on volume and bass controller is on.
2. I have the decoder set to analogue and tried 1,2 and 3.
3. I have tried changing the decoder switch between decoder and PC.
4. I checked I have the decoder and subwoofer set to 7.1
5. I know it isnt a problem with computer or decoder because when I plug earphones into the green audio jack in either the PC or Decoder I get sound (Although I have the decoder switch set to "PC"meaning the decoder just sits there with its little green lights making no difference at all).
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.
Thanks

I also am having this issue. Where I have installed the software for the M and after doing so I plug it in and get the Driver installation that fails to find drivers. If I try to open the creative explorer or the firmware upgrade released yesterday both say no device attached.

Going from DVI to DVI cable from VGA to DVI cable problem

Got a mini with the VGA adapter to DVI working with no problem. When I decided to hook up a DVI to DVI cable, I got no picture. I had to reach behind the mini, press the power button to put it to sleep, then press the power button again to wake up the mini again to get a picture. The monitor is a 20.1 inch AOC monitor. The picture is sharp in both cases. The DVI to DVI setup is slightly smoother.

After I reboot I still get no picture. I have to reach behind the mini, press the power button to put it to sleep, then press the power button again to wake up the mini again to get a picture.

CReative Zen Vision M: AV cable alternative

Hi guys,?I'm new to this forum so may I start with a big hello and an understandingly proud pat on the back to any of you lucky people like myself who are the recent acquirers of the faulicious Zen Vision M! As tech toys go, it's the b****cks!!?But... That ****ed ugly, hateful, and dare i say, expensi've white AV cable has left me greatly upset. Not only did Creative extort ?360 of my very precious euros for a shot at audio- visual heaven in the palm of my hand, but now they want to stick me for an extra score so I can enjoy the experience on a full- size television! Standard store bought AV cables are not compatible with the Zen Vision M, and to me this is insulting! For shame, Creative! I believed you stood for the more deviant side of the digital music industry, but alas you're another Apple in sheeps clothing!! (I'm gonna start a poll - how many minutes until this thread is removed?..)?Soooo... coming back to my original reason for posting this - is there some way of splicing and rearranging the pins on a standard AV cable to make it compatible with my new toy or will I be forced to shell out for the ungloriously white original?These little beauties are selling like hot cakes at a hot cake festival. I refuse to believe that?no-one hasn't at least contemplated this issue and any information leading to a successful result is not only welcome but greatly appreciated. Kudos to Creative for coming out with the coolest little 'look what I've got! Na na na na naa!' doohickey since God knows when but I'm beyond disgusted with this arm foced behing my back style approach to accessories!?A 95% satisfied customer,Adrian.

Thanks you guys. It would seem I have very littl eoption but to get out my credit card and buy the ugly white s.o.b. Creative should give you loyalty points, man!! I mean, we're being forced to buy the bloody gear against our will, so why not show some sympathy? Fat chance, methinks!
With regard to the length of thew cables reaching the tv, you can buy AV extension kits in any good TV/electrical store if you're feeling too mean to splurge on the RC kit. Also only?available in nappy white!! What gives?
Thanks again?for the feedback you guys.
One last question - the new updated drivers?- what do they do?
