Creative Zen's clock gets reset after being plugged into the w

I bought the wall recharger for my Creative Zen 8 GB, as I had another MP3 player (SanDisk Sansa e260) die mysteriously after being plugged into the computer's USB port.
The only complaint I have is that if I leave the Zen plugged in, after it finishes recharging, the screen goes blank and when I unplug it and turn it on, the clock and calendar are reset to their default (March 7, 2008).
I am on a Vista Home Premium computer (no service pack). I have the latest the firmware on the player and use the latest version of Media Explorer.
Does this happen to anyone else who uses the wall charger?

Hello, I read your post & am replying to it because I too am having a clock syncronization issue but mine is not related to plugging it into a wall charger. My date AND time resets too to April 7, 2008 for some reason. I reset it yesterday to the correct date and time for yesterday (May 8, 2008) and now it is reset back to the previous date I mentioned. It couldn't even keep the time/date accurate for 24 hours! My battery was already charged however several days ago and is no where near being finished (it says half full). My firmware version is .2.0.
Anyhow I know this doesn't help you at all, but at least you're not alone on this issue...mine doesn't originate with charging it though...maybe that will help you at the very least.

Headphones no longer work after being plugged into speaker

Hi i purchased a ipod touch 5th generation 32 gb bundle from target just over a week ago which came with the iCoustic 20 in 1 Accessory kit Model No : IC184. After plugging the ipod into the supplied speaker this morning trying to listen to music it kept making stacic like noises and changing volume it was alwful to try and listen so gave up and went back to taking it off speaker and playing it back through apple headphones but now after being plugged into the speaker the headphones wont work its just a buzzing sound if you turn the volume up all the way loud the music will come back through headphones then when turning it down it cuts out again or if you manage to get the music it will stop after a couple of seconds. I have done a factory reset but it has made no difference.Please help have a very upset daughter it is frustrating do we take this back for a refund and get a new one if so how do we keep the music and photos etc she has on this one? Thankyou.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes

BTW, this is the iPod touch forum

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer. What do I do?

Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

AX loses connection after being plugged into new modem

Our Internet connection had become real slow. (HN9000 Modem through HUGHES net satellite service). Our provider did some diagnostics and determined we needed a new modem and our satelitte was out of alignment. Hooked up the new modem. All was fine for about 2 days. Internet connection lost and yellow light appeared on the AX. I have to unplug the modem and or the AX and then re establish the network connection and the AX connection. This has now been going on for about 3 weeks. I have made numerous calls to my provider and they claim it's the AX. (version 802.11N). The AX is only about 2 feet from my MAC. I have a brand new ethernet cord. ALL connections are tight! HELP?? (If I connect the modem directly to the MAC, No issues) Thank you

External hard rive showing no information after being plugged into mac

plugged a external hardrive into my mac it had information from another format on it windows now its showing theres nothing on there when converting format to run with windows, i have ran a iskysoft data recovery program it seems like its found a lot of the files lost, when its says do you wish to recover them i obviously have to pay them for the full program. before i do this can any one help me out as dint want to waste the money if its not going to work. the files are not mac format so not sure if it will get them back????

osx is unable to read data from a different format. so your only option is to get to your data using windows or yes, pay heavily for third party software to retrieve.

My ipod Video won't switch on and always displays the message, "Please Wait Very Little Battery" despite being plugged into the charger.

Dear Apple Support Communities,
I am writing to inform you I have had my iPod for about 6 years now and it has slowly got to the stage where it no longer turns on. My iPod began freezing every now and then (for a few seconds now) and then this problem escalated to the stage where it began to freeze for days. I am now at the stage where it doesn't switch on at all, in fact everytime I try to switch on my iPod the following message appears on the screen, 'Please Wait, Very Little Battery' despite the fact that the iPod is currently being charged. I haven't used my iPod for months and was wondering if this promblem can be fixed or am I entitled to any upgrades.

Did you try to let it connected to USB for charging for a while before asking it anything. When the battery is deeply drained, it can occur that the iPod displays nothing for half an hour, just charging.
Also, make sure your PC gives sufficient power to the iPod for charging, I let mine once for six hours charging on my work's pc, and it didn't display "charged" message even after the 6H charge.
When an USB device is requiring more power than it can receive from the plug it is in, MacOSX advices it to user, It seems that Windows doesn't.

Back panel audio jack is not disabled after I plug into the front

The speakers go on playing even with the headphones plugged in on the front panel
I tried all of the combinations of checkmarks in the Realtek HD Audio utility
I got MSI P965 Neo-F
current driver is 1.71, I'm going to update to the latest, but don't think this will remedy the situation
Please help! This is not really disastrous, but I'm so annoyed when something does not work the way it was designed!

Are you trying to suggest I should include detailed computer specs?
Because the moan guide does not list any problems similar to mine
I don't think it will help me get relevant help, but I'll try:

Creative zen V+ still not working after coming back from assistance for the second ti

hallo, what thje hell is happening with creative Zen V+ I got it back from assistance for the second time and it's still not working!!!!!!!!!!! I want my money back now, I'm gonna spam the whole of the internet with this unfunny joke, what the hell I'm suppoised to do I really fed up, since I bought the unit it worked for less than one month and for another one it's been back to the assistance for two times!!!! And still it's not working!!!! Now let me tell you this creative zen V + is a worthless, costly, cheap piece of crap, and I mean crap, what the hell am I supposed to do now Send it back for the third time 249 euros for this crappy piece of cheapo plastic Please is it allowed me to send it back and having in change some olther player I don't mean it to be trendy or flashy or all of the usual marketing **bleep** coming with these, I just want a player that actually play my music, a player I can load all my music without the application to freeze, the player to freeze and me having to format and reboot again and again. Is it creative capable to accomplish such task, do they still know how to build an mp3 player that actually work without me having to buy and install windows vista Or they don't Do creative have some old player still in stock zen touch wasn't stilish but worked well until the HD dyied, zen V plus isn't working as it is supposed to do, plain and simple. What do I have to do now in case you are wondering the malfunction is still the same.

For the Zen V, as it states on the box, you need Windows XP Service Pack or 2, or Windows Vista. You also need Windows Media Player 0 or . As long as you have that, you should be fine there.
You may also have a corrupted file that is causing the problem. Try not transferring them all at once, transfer it in blocks instead. If one block fails to transfer, try and narrow it down and see if it's a specific file in that block causing the problem.
When you try it on another PC, do be sure that PC meets the system requirements, especially the Service Pack if it's Windows XP. You'd be shocked how many times people try it on a 2nd computer, get angry when it doesn't work, call tech support, and find out the 2nd PC doesn't even have SP on it.
All else failing of course contact Support. They can't help you if you don't let them know what's going on, and if you don't yell at them they'll do their absolute best, trust me.
Good luck,
Dale

[XFCE]Keyboard layout config sometimes gets reset after suspend/resume

After I got suspend/resume working thanks to the help here, I have still another little problem with it: After suspend/resume the keyboard layout configuration in the corresponding xfce-panel plugin is sometimes reset to US. The keyboard layout should be Russian/German with switching the layouts with LCtrl+LShift. In the xorg.conf everything is fine, but it seems to be disregarded:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
EndSection
The settings that I make in the panel-applet via its configuration dialogue work though, but they sometimes get reset after a suspend/resume.
The XFCE session is started via following command in ~/.xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch xfce4-session
Thanks for any hint,
PhotonX

I see. Then you should maybe add debug output to check whether the script is run at all and if yes, where it fails. Like
button/lid)
echo "lid action caught" >> /home/lid.log
case "$3" in
close)
logger 'LID closed'
# Suspend and lock the screen
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend &
DISPLAY=:0.0 su -c - miki /usr/bin/slimlock
echo "lid closed" >> /home/lid.log
open)
logger 'LID opened'
# Set the keyboard layout again on IT
setxkbmap it
echo "lid opened" >> /home/lid.log
logger "ACPI action undefined: $3"
echo "something wrong happened" >> /home/lid.log
esac
and then check /home/lid.log after lid close&open.

I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My iPod classis is not recognized by my Macbook and self-ejects immediately after being plugged in?

Hello,
I have an iPod classic and I am using a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Since the last iTunes update i have not been able to connect my iPod to iTunes. I have tried both USB ports and it still won't work. The iPod ejects itself immediately after being plugged in. The usb ports are working, I've tried an iPod touch and an iPhone 4s, so that doesn't seem to be the issue either. Appreciate any help!

Hi luisxjim,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps that may help if your iPod classic isn't being recognized by your computer:
