Creative Zen overheating error, and now just a white screen?

<C CHi, My Creative Zen mp3 player, 8Gb, 2 years old recently decided not to work properly, it's the first time in 2 years of loyal service it finally failed on me It happened like this: I turned it on, and first it began to execute commands without me pressing any buttons, like skipping to next song, or pausing, in a wild frenzy of quick actions, and strange colours. Then a error message, "overheating, shutting down" appeared, and then the player shut down, but the player did not feel hot, there were no sounds coming from the player, and i have never left it in a hot place, ever I left it alone overnight, the next morning, i turned it on again, the error message came up again one more time, and then i turned it off again, the third time i turned it on, no more error message, now simply it turn on to a white screen, which fades into a lighter white, or like a grey, and after 20 seconds, goes to black (off again, by itself). I tried to connect via usb to my laptop, and at first it appeared in my computer, but i wasn't able to keep the connection, and now it doesn't connect at all What do i DO?

Have you tried resetting the player with the little button on the side?

    I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

    recently updated iPad 2nd gen and wooden bookcase is gone form iBook app now just a white screen

    Yes, if you updated to iOS 7 you also got a new version of iBooks.  The new iBooks app does not have the wooden shelf theme at all.  The library has been re-styled for iOS 7 to be a plain white area listing your book or pdfs.

  • This has been dropped and now has a white screen

    My daughter dropped her 4th generation i pod touch and now half the screen is white, what should be the fix for this?

    The $99 is the exchange price for an 8, 16 or 32 GB 4G iPod. It is $199 for a 64 GB one.
    Some users have posted here that sometime the white screen from dropping is due to a lose connection. Try Googling.
    Yu can send it to Apple. See:

    My screen was cracked and I replaced it but now when I turn it on al i get is a white screen.  Even when i reboot it.  I have checked the cables and connectors but they all look good and are cnnected properly.  any thoughts?

    Could be a bad backlight, poor connection to the backlight or the circuits on the logic board that control the backlight are bad.

  • Recently bought a used iphine 4s whiped it clean started fresh but ever sin e i got it the mail app reads that i have 98 messages i open it and it just shows white screen amd wont do anythingo

    why cant i read my mail in the mail app? It shows i have 98 messages but ehen opened just shows a white screen

    Try quitting the Mail app and reset your device. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

    You are allowed to have two activted installations, so if the first machine is the only machine with an activated installation there is nothing prohibiting you from installing and activating on the new machine.
    You can contact Adobe Support thru chat to have the old installation deactivation.

  • My I Mac showed an error while updating the OS and now just hangs. What should I do?

    I Mac asked me to update the OS from 10.7.3. It showed an error and now the computer just hangs. Its become excuriatingly slow. Takes about 15-20 minutes to boot up and takes hours to perform any function. I tried to update the OS again but it keeps showing an error in connecting to the server. What do I do.?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD to check/repair your disk. Restart holding Command+R - once booted select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk' If it fixes anything click repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Whilst in Disk Utility you could also 'repair disk permissions' With Macintosh HD still selected click on 'repair disk permissions'. Once done, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    Then try updating again using the 'combo', available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
    If you still have problems you could try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the shift key until you see the grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

    I prepaid the creative cloud last year and now its time to update, but I notice that i only use about 5 of the apps, is there anyway and I can just purchased those.

    No.
    Cloud apps are only available via subscription via a Cloud plan.
    If you need 3 or more apps then a Cloud Complete membership is the way to go.

    Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done.  And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
    If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out. 
    Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

  • IPod Nano 7th gen - software update error and now not functioning

    Hello,
    I recently plugged an older 7th gen iPod Nano that I hadn't used in a while into my computer (Windows 7 operating system) and iTunes wanted me to let it update its software. I said 'yes,' not really thining anything of it, and as the software update was taking place, an 'unexpected error' occurred. Now my iPod will not turn on or respond or anything. It shut off while plugged into the computer and has stayed off and I am unable to get it to turn back on. It is totally dead, like the failed update somehow ruined my iPod.
    The iPod itself was a little damaged - the LCD touchscreen was nonfunctioning due to water damage, and only displayed a white screen when on, but I could still 'shake to shuffle' and it would play all of my music just fine. Now the iPod will not work at all.
    Is there anything that can be done or am I just out of luck here? Did the fact that the iPod was damaged have something to do with the failed update?
    I'm kind of bummed 'cause the iPod still played my music perfectly....
    Thanks for any help or insights anybody can give.

    I should add 2 important points: 1) I have no trouble syncing with my PC, just in updating the nano software, and (2) Buried in some Apple reference I found mention of problems if the nano isn't formatted for a PC vs. Mac. It gives info on how to tell what the format is, but it's outdated (the menu choices are different). I believe it is already formatted for a PC because of an entry under Settings/About which says the Version is "1.0 PC". Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it would help me if I knew the destination of the software download. Does it download directly to the Nano or to a temporary folder on my PC?
