Did Creative pull the plug entirely on E-mu? (sure looks that way)

I just purchased a 22M PCIe ~ week ago. The E-Mu site is no longer available and the phone #'s disconnected.
Is this how E-Mu's parent company operates? No redirect, no canned message at the listed E-mu #'s. But sure as the summer is hot, you can still see E-Mu product for sale on the Creative website along with links (that don't work) to the E-Mu website(s).
Really?
Hopefully an official rep can answer.

2: No new product announcements
3: The 0404USB is discontinued and no replacement in sight or announced
4. Call the corporate office phone # listed for EMU. Let everyone know what recording you get
It was, at that point in time, a fair question (and still is to a good degree) to ask.
There is a buzz about E-Mu's solvency with nary a word in 8 months. Troubling to say the least. There are a bunch of people waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Maybe you should just 'think'. Never mind 'think st'.
Haha ... as I said earlier, think st.

I pulled the plug, did i damage my iMac?

After installing the latest security update 1.1 from my software update it seemed to go well until the restart. The screen went grey and the circle kept spinning and spinning. I tried to shut down using the button on rear but nothing, it just kept spinning. Finally I pulled the plug. I started it up again using the back button and it started fine. Installer log says the update is installed. I checked HD with disc utility from the install disc and repaired permissions which was OK except for the usual Suid warnings. My question is, did I do any damage to my machine by pulling the plug? Do I need to do any other maintenance to make sure all is well.

It all depends on what it was doing while the spinning was occurring.
There are a few issues that could come up.
Data in buffers may not have been sync'd to the disk. So depending on what that data was (update files, documents, etc.) it could be lost.
Permissions or access controls that were being applied could be missing or corrupted - but your repair of permissions should have taken care of that.
Files that were being uncompressed at the time may never have been uncompressed and you could end up with mixed up versions of files.
My recommendation would be to:
- Hold down 'command-v' when you boot this next time from right after the chime to when you start getting data on the screen. This will take away the screen masks when the system starts and stops.
- Re-apply the security update and let it finish. You'll be able to see what it's doing as it shuts down, so it should make things a little more comfortable than just watching the icon spin.
- If you are always impatient with updates, you may want to make verbose booting permanent. You can do this by editing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and adding a -v between the two string tags under the kernel flags key.

MX922 hangs, power switch won't turn it off. Can I get it going without just pulling the plug?

The printer seems to do this to me about once a month. If I pull the plug and then reconnect it, that resets everything and gets the printer going again, but I get a nasty error message that I'm not supposed to do that. But what else can I do when absolutely none of the front panel buttons do anything at all? And the printer doesn't respond to any computer commands either.

Hi williamauer,
If it appears that none of the buttons are stuck on the printer and an error message is not displaying and you are unable to turn off the printer normally, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Pulled the Plug on Time Capsule

First, I've been using Macs since 1987. Consider myself a bleeding edge adopter and semi-guru to friends and family. However, after a rocky start, a somewhat smooth few weeks, and now complete failure in the last few days I've pulled the plug on Time Capsule.
I had been backing up three laptops (Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook) with varying degrees of success (many TC re-sets, ethernet set-ups to start) until this evening when the dreaded "Preparing" hang eventually took its toll on my patience and my confidence in Apple's backup strategy.
Has anyone had success using TC with several laptops? Is TC set up for this? Is there some special order of events or sequence in setting this up that anyone has had consistent success with? For now I'm going back to SuperDuper.

I don't trust wireless TM 100% as well. I have turn off TM and only initiate the backup manually on my request. If I know the incremental back up is going to be huge, I will run a ethernet cable to the TC before I start.

When I try to eject my IPod I get a message telling me I cannot eject because another app is using it. Nothing else is running, so I just have to pull the plug

When I try to eject my IPod after synching I get an error message that I cannot eject it because files are in use by another application. Nothing else's running so I just have to pull the plug. Why is this ??

Since I upgraded to OS 10.6.8 from 10.5.x my 2x3GHz quad-core Intel Xeon desktop spontaneously turns off as if I pulled the plug. Mostly it happens when there is no open software and it's in the sleep mode, but it has happened while I'm working.

Since I upgraded to OS 10.6.8 from 10.5.x my 2x3GHz quad-core Intel Xeon desktop spontaneously turns off as if I pulled the plug. Mostly it happens when there is no open software and it's in the sleep mode (because it spends more time like that), but it has happened while I'm working. It just suddenly quits.

This is a suspicious sign of power supply failure. I would have that checked into. Others who have had similar problems have had the power supplies replaced which fixed the issue.

Help! My iPhone keeps discontinuing its charge without me pulling the plug

Ok so just now, I was talking to my friend on kik while my phone was charging (and it's an iPhone 5 if you needed to know)and it kept making the sound when you plug the charger in and telling you it has successfully been plugged in. It was really irritating so I was watching the battery carefully, and usually when it's charging it has that "electric" symbol on the battery. For me, it kept re-appearing and disappearing, so I was thinking maybe I am pulling the plug but found out I wasn't. I have turned my phone off after that to avoid annoyance. If anybody knows how to fix this please respond!
(Oh and note that I've checked my cables and wires and chargers and it is perfectly fine, unless I didn't check right..)
Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Not raging or being rude or anything, but this is kind of serious to me if you have something off-topic to say, please say it somewhere else as it ain't gonna help my problem.

That sound when you plugged in to charge is normal.

Pulling the plug on dbms_job

Hi there
I was wondering what would happen to the jobs which were "running" under dbms_job should someone pull the plug out of the machine.
Would they be restarted once the database went up again? I am uncertain since I figured that the jobs table would not be updated following a sudden power failure.
Thanks in advance

Laurence, I believe that dbms_jobs includes a retry feature. What Oracle would do on restart with failed jobs would depend in part on what was set via dbms_job to do on job failure for each job.
See the Supplied PL/SQL Packages and Types manual for your version for details.

Did you buy your machine second-hand? That's really the only way you would have to purchase OS X 10.8.x from the App Store... but, yes, if you have a USB thumb drive with a bootable installer (such as made with Lion DiskMaker) you can boot from that and reinstall OS X.

I lost all of my calender info and did not have the cloud activated. Any ideas on why that happened? Any idea if I can get that back?

I lost all of my calender info and did not have the cloud activated. Any ideas on why that happened? Any idea if I can get that back?

Not sure why this happened, but are you syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer?
If not, calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since this data went missing, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Do not sync with iTunes before doing so, and do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so when prompted.

Your earlier phone must have been originally intended for sale in another country and must have been purchased from somewhere other than an authorized Apple retailer. Phones that are intended to be sold in the UAE have FaceTime permanently disabled. The option is not there and cannot be made to work.

You keep using the word insurance. Do you pay extra for insurance from Asurian or is your iPhone being replaced under the manufacturer warranty ? This second option is not insurance so you would have to contact Asurian directly. With this insurance there is a paid premium each month on your cell invoice, you have to pay a deductible to get your replacement device which can run up to $200
Verizon cannot assist you at the store under insurance, only manufacturers warranty and they can give you the phone number and web site address to start your claim process.
In the future get your iPhone insurance through Apple Care, its only $99 for the two years and you just walk into the Apple Store near you and get service.
Good Luck

Why won't my iPhone rotate 90 degrees in ios7? It will go to landscape only. I have to place my phone upside down to charge in a stNd I have; I could read the screen in iOS 6 as it rotated that way. Now I can't do this???

It will go to landscape and then back to right-side-up portrait. I have to place my phone upside down to charge in a stand I have; I could read the screen in iOS 6 as it rotated that way. Now I can't do this. What happened?

Start with contacting AT&T to see if they can fix it.
If not, restoring your phone, first from a backup, then as new, would be the next steps.

Arch refuses to shutdown, need to pull the plug!

I've been on Arch since 3days now. When installed for the first time I installed SLiM, so that I can have a graphical user interface on the log on screen. But I uninstalled it. I've Xfce. The computer shut down properly for a few times. Since yesterday when I press the shut down button in the upper right corner in Xfce some coded screen comes up it says,
> POWER OFF
after this it would shut off automatically.
But now it says,
> POWER OFF
[ 45656.5984714] Power down.
And it stays there forever. I have to physically pull the power plug or shut off the main power button. I've ACPI turned ON and is in S1 State.
Please suggest how do I resolve this problem. Help would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Regards,

I tried this. But no luck. Still the same problem.
btw, my rc.conf reads,
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus networkmanager netfs crond)
One more thing. This problem not only occurs when I'm running Xfce. The system wont shutdown even when I login and then try to shut it down with sudo poweroff command, on the command line.

Did Creative pull the plug entirely on E-mu? (sure looks that way)
