Does Creative think its a "favor" to fix broken produc

I noticed something very alarming in my correspondence with Creative over a malfunctioning Zen V. Never once were the words "sorry" used. I was instructed what I "would do" and "would not do" in order to receive an RMA. Do they realize that it is an inconvenience to the customer to have to go through these channels? To have a product less than a month and it break? Then have to pay shipping to Creative to get what we paid for in the beginning, a working product. Even when I received a working product back, the letter attached never once offered an apology for my inconvenience. Just thought this was interesting...

Whole heartedly agree. Jumping up from the unnamed to the named sections everytime you confirm or edit a name is infuriating. I had come to the forums to seek what I had hoped was an existing solution or preference box I had to check off.

This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone. If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

In my email all the messages from one person bunch together and I would like to separate them. I have done this before on my iPhone but just recently got an iPad and its doing it on this, so does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

Does creative have plans to update Nomad Explor

i think its a great simple piece of software.. except for one thing. its hard to transfer music from your play to the PC. you have to highlite every song in the album then drag and drop them onto your PC, in a folder you have to make yourself. and when you have to do artists then album folders for 40GB's worth of music it takes way to long.
I was wondering if they were planning some kind of new version or update? for those who have used it know that when you click on the data folder it has actualy visable folders and sub folders that you can move around as you would normaly in windows. if you had that feature for the music library then that program would be amazing. being able to highlight all the artists and just drag and drop the music onto your HDD, or wherever. or move it around. preferable in a Artist folder. then album folders within that folder setup.
I know this will never see the light of day, and almost totaly sure this will never happen. but i think Nomad Explorer has great potential. The other programs are weak at best. i used to love PlayCenter. but not it wont install without crashing during album transfers. But hey, if i don't say it, it can't happen. so i might aswell try.
Thanks.
Does anybody have anything to say to this? Disagree? Agree? etc?

There's a free but limited feature trial that should give you some idea. It's like Nomad Explorer with bells on, although it predates Nomad Explorer. There's other software as well, have a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
EDIT: I just saw this on the notmad website. whats the difference? I wasnt aware creative made two versions of the Xtra. or is this just a type on notmads site? " # Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (all capacities) # Creative Zen Xtra (all capacities) "
Strange. There is only the one version, probably just different names in different regions. I believe Europe don't use the Nomad prefix due to some other product clash.

I am unable to install apps as my iTunes states my computer is already authorised, then it tells me to authorise it? Does anybody out there know how to fix this. I am sorry if there is already a thread regarding this but there is 224,613 running atm.

I have an iMac that has iTunes on it.
My iPad is a first gen but its almost upto date, I haven't updated it for about a month.
If anyone out there has some information I would appreciate it a lot.
I am only doing this as iBooks isn't working
Thanks in advance.

Removing the SC Folder worked for me. But as an after thought and another potential problem although I do not think it is related, I had movies authorized thru my wifes Apple ID and she changed her ID a couple weeks ago. This, I think, could have had a contributing factor although not sure.
You have to delete the SC Folder and then reboot and then go into iTunes, re-authorize if it asks, then I was able to sync the movies. Hope this helps a little.

Not sure what Lame is??? does Creative media explorer & Creative mediaSource Oganizer use mp3 LA

I'm thinkin' about movin' over to Lame mp3 encoding, (right now i'm using wma 92) I'm not sure what lame is.
everyone is using mp3 format, so i said to my self "eeeh just forget about wma and join the croud".
so i wanna move over to mp3 format (Lame encoding what ever that is.)
What i wanted to know is, does creative media explorer have mp3 lame encoding?
does creative mediaSource Oganizer have lame encoding also?
what bit rate should i use for mp3 format? (I like it to be good sound quality)
thanks in advance

Collegeboy, you have several threads going on this same subject all of which together give a pretty good picture of lame vs other mp3 encoders vs wma. I know your posts in the past promote wma and that is your choice, but if you want to research this topic, visit HydrogenAudio or head-fi forums and enjoy the postings of the socalled audiophiles and true audio geeks :-)
I know that versions of lame are not all equal and that the latest version 3.96. with the right switches, is about 40% faster than previous versions and is as accurate in keeping as much of the original as it can in its encode.
Fraunhofer (Fraunhofer Institute in Erlangen Germany where they invented mp3 and hold patents) has a couple of major versions. The standard version that packages like Creative and MusicMatch use, is the FHIIs version. There is I think, a Professional Version too but that costs big bucks to license (as opposed I guess to little bucks for IIs) and note lame is free! FHIIS uses a noise reduction scheme to brickwall above 6kHz or something like that number. If you look at Lame encoded music in a frequency analysed mode, using the preset standard or preset extreme switches you can see the Lame encoding follows the original right up to 9kHz and higher and the FHIIs encoding drops off at 6KHz. That much difference is noticeable if you have the right playback equipment.
There was a comment in one of the threads you started on this, that this whole topic could be contentious. Well it is and is so subjecti've too as some folks could never tell the differences, some would never listen to their music so they could tell the difference, some would never listne to compressed music if their life depended on it and the story goes on.
OK with all this?

Why does Adobe think we want addons Chrome and McAfee added to a simple FLASH update???????????

Presenting an update with addons like Chrome and McAfee to be installed nefariously directly run from the site is not good. Downloading the file after unchecking the box that I don't want mcafee messing up my computer one can install the update without that garbage. I don't want Chrome either.. Sure I have used it in the past but I don't want it now. It is just about impossible to use the web these days without flash activated unless you are an people and don't get it anyway.   Trying to piggyback that unwanted software on top of a Flash update is not cool! Its bad enough 3rd party downloads come with things like that but whats next some adware?    Please rethink your update policies as getting that stuff installed is doing no one that doesn't want it any favors at all.

Adobe does not think that anyone wants these 3rd-party add-ons. However, they have to fund a development team for the free software they provide; that's why/how they try to recover some of that funding.
I can understand they need money for their product yet they are the ones that bought macromedia and supported it on the web for years. I can remember when pdf files were new so new it stopped BART from allowing it through the network I was on. Do they not make enough money off of Photoshop? I realize if a network wants to support flash on macs they need to buy a another server option to make it work. I just find it deplorable the way it is done. In fact the check box is somewhat skillfully camouflaged on the update page.
Updates should not come with trickery in the update choice to tick the correct switch off (check box) to not have 3rd party unwanted choices.   The difference between the save vs run update from their site makes a difference in which way it comes to you as the default run from the adobe site is it comes with mcafee and chrome browser not the OS. This is not useful for the average jo computer user that has no clue.
What is next Babylon toolbar?    Have you ever seen the video of John McAfee explaining how to uninstall mcafee av? Perhaps you would understand the frustration of the users that encounter this.

This is a user forum; it is not "our" policy!
It may be your forum but its at adobe.com and supposedly the place found to ask questions. Its the only place I could find without writing a letter to adobe.
At least a dozen times every day someone posts the links to the offline installers, which are not bundled with any 3rd-party software. Why not use these instead of complaining...?
You might put up some links too the offline installers, however why should I trust some offline installer that may have adware, malware, or some other chumpware silkroped to it?
On top of that its adobe's updater that is notifying the user of update needed.      It appears the updates can come two different ways from adobe and may depend on if it is updating for ie or mozilla too.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

HT204053 i want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded. I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is

I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded. I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid. I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account. But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID. How do i fix this?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

What does this mean and how do i fix it: "service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system."

What does this mean and how do i fix this so my ipod works again on my computer and itunes: "Service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I tried "retry", i tried "abort" and started over. I keep getting stuck in the same place.

I have a firefox update 27.0.1 that keeps popping up and I think its a fake and I need it removed please.

Im running vista here. A firefox 27.0.1 update notice keeps popping up by my toolbar on bottom right side of my screen.. and goes away. Moments later a big EMPTY firefox update box appears in the middle of my screen. All it lets me do is close it, but it always comes back about 2 hours later.
I think its an empty fake !!!
How do I get rid of it .... please help me.

Normally warnings are fakes but in your case I am not sure.
Your sytem info aside is indicating you are using Firefox 21, so either you are using an out of date and unsupported version of Firefox, or something is going wrong and Firefox is not reporting the correct information.
When you use the Firefox button and the help option you should get an option about firefox that confirms the version you are using.
Possibly you have security software preventing updates. Have a look at these articles then please post back and confirm what version you are using.
