EZ100 16gb what's with this thing????

%[ Okay, bought one of these the other day to replace my iPod 4gb nano, not that there was anything wrong with it, I just want a new player with bigger storage capacity and I went for the Mozaic EZ00 because Argos were selling it for ?69. So, I get it home, charged it up, updated it to the latest firmware and then piled on the music. This is were it seems to go so wrong!!! I'm not impressed at all with the sound quality of this thing, and I was using my expensi've in ear earphones, also the quality of photos and album art is just atrocious, and this is the killer punch...it just keeps on sticking and skipping during playback of every single track!!! I went into recovery mode, did a disc clean up, even reformatted it and again put the music on only this time it only plays the tracks fine when the unit is locked!!!! So, what's with this thing?? This is my first experience of a Creative product and I fear it may be the last, not impressed, will be taking it back to Argos. Anyone else had similar problems?

(seasons) greetings all!
so out of the blue I get a nano for Christmas (it's blue ;-)) and the person who bought it is in windows but new I ran mac.
unfortunataly he did not know i needed a mac newer than my 3 year old ibook. after years of hearing my boasts of superior macs i hesitate to tell him i cannot use my new gift until i buy a new ibook/macbook... whatever.
i don't really have a question for this post but just wanted to add my comments. what a scam that to get the latest in a music listening gadget your get sucked into the itunes 7 mandantory hence osx.3 mandantory hence your 3 year old still viable and beloved ibook is impotent.
can't believe this may force me to buy a new laptop when there is no other reason. mac products should not have a lifetime of just a few years.

  • What's with this thing?

    I got an ipod nano for christmas. I put it in my macintosh thinking "My computer should be compatible for once." A message came up saying that it would not work because I needed itunes 7. I went to the site and downloaded itunes. I started itunes installation. It got all the way through til the very last window and told me that itunes would not work and required 10.3.9 So I went to the mac site again looking for another download and found nothing. I came to the conclusion that my mac must be too old. But I could've sworn that the comp had told me something about ipods before so I checked the help centre and sure enough, it had an ipod section. Why is my ipod incompatible with my mac?! I don't understand. Someone help me

  • What is the deal with this thing?

    My computer no longer recognizes my ipod mini, won't charge it, or anything. It isn't responding to anything. I have tried resetting it so many times. All it does is show the "Do not disconnect." screen, and the backlight turns on when I press a button on the click wheel. My computer does not acknowledge that the ipod is connected to it at all, so I just diconnected it. However, the screen still says the same thing! I cannot find anyway to get some help off the Apple site. There are e-mail addresses or anything, which is completely annoying. My ipod mini is 13 months old and cost way too much money for this to be happening. Is it lost for good? What is the deal with this thing? Seriously, please help.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Zen Vision M Firmware Problem!!! Can't deal with this thing any more...

    Can't deal with this thing any more...3 Hello friends I'm new in the forum
    Well as the title mentions, I'm about to throw this thing oute of the window!!!
    It's a 30 GB Zen Vision M, I own it ,5 years now...
    I have read all the relevant posts in the forum about this player, I tried my best, nothing really worked.....
    So now I have a Zen which only boots in the recovery mode!!
    I have Cleaned it Up, Formated it, and tried to reload its firmware BUT when I connect it and try to reload it, in the end it always says Firmware Upgrade Failed!!Really can't understand it!!!!!
    I've communicated with Creative, i wasn't at all satisfied with their responses... I think what they're trying to do is to avoid me, and earn some time with really useless suggestions which I had already told them won't work!!!So in the end they wanted me to send my Zen in Italy and pay more than 100 Euros for what an ,5 year old mp3 player?No I prefer buying a new Cowon with that amount of money!!!
    Anyways I'm pretty mad now, so I'll move to the subject..
    I have Service Pack 3 Windows XP in my computer, and I did roll back on the Media Player 0 from the I had, using the instructions from a previous post. The truth is that it rolled back with less steps than it showed, and I say that because it mentions in a step that in the add-remove programms, in the Windows XP-Software Updates section, I should find a Windows Media player thing which really doesnt exist and I suspect it's the Service Pack 3 because I have done the same in a SP2 and worked exactly as the steps said..Anyway the fact is I have Windows Media Player 0 now!!!
    Please someone tell why can't I upgrade my firmware... I can't deal with this anymore!!!!

    So you say that I actually have the Windows Media Player 0, because my Zen is being recognised..
    I have rebooted it several times but its just the same thing...it shows firmware problem!!
    Why isn't this player working?I've seen many people, not only from here, who have the same exact problem and they gave up on their mp3... I dont have this kind of luxury to buy a new one!!I don't know whether Creative has put on this a "time bomb" or is just faulty, but I really wish it could be saved..
    I'm saying it is WMP0 because the firmware file sees the player. The computer can recognize it but with WMP components that firmware file would be grayed-out..So when you reloaded the firmware did you choose "reload firmware" Before you connected it's?(That is what erases the firmware prior to uploading the firmware. If you did not do that it could cause it to fail.Do these ste

  • First day with this thing and I give up...

    I have to say I was really excited to get this Time Capsule today, but I can't get it connected to the internet for the life of me.  I've tried everything...and I'm starting to regret the purchase.  I have Optimum online and currently use a NetGear router, with no issues.  I've gone through the set up process 20 times now with the Time Capsule, I tried using any setup I can imagine, but I still cannot get connected to the internet with this thing.  If anyone has any info they can lend I would appreciate it.  I'm ready to return this thing.

    I have no problems running TC with windows computers. but it needs to be setup correctly.
    I want you to go about this in a different way.. cable modems normally register the MAC address of the router and do not readily give it up.
    Please unplug the TC from power.. press in the reset button.. power on, still holding in reset.. wait until front led flashes rapidly. Release the reset.. and allow it to finish booting. That is full factory reset btw.
    Please turn off the cable modem and leave it off for 15min.. to allow the lease to expire from the old router.
    Then power on the cable modem.. wait 2min.. power on the TC.. plugged in by ethernet to wan port, ie the port next to USB, with sunburst symbol.
    Start up the computer plugged by ethernet into the LAN port of the TC.. ie any of the three ports marked <--->
    Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup.. on the main summary page check what the IP address of the wan port is. It has to be a public ip.
    Now check the PC ethernet address by opening a command prompt and typing ipconfig /all
    Please note the full ip address, gateway and dns address you are given.
    Please ping a website.. and see if there is a response..
    You can start with the public address of the TC and the dns address of the ISP. If they fail the issue is maybe the firewall on the computer.. or computer has switch to different setting, work or public location instead of home.
    Turn off ipv6 in both the TC and the windows .. that only makes it harder.
    If you get some progress.. remember SMB names are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.. by default apple names have spaces.. please change both the name of the TC and the wireless to SMB compatible.

  • What wrong with this?

    I have a video that has sound, I brought it into afteraffects, made a composition and made some changes. I exported the composition (rendered it) for quick time to edit in photoshop - the video is about 7 minutes.
    Playing the video there is no sound....why?
    Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
    also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames? can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?

    What wrong with this?
    Everything! Sorry, it's simply the most ill-conceived workflow I could imagine.

    Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
    Yes. All video editing in PS is limited to 500 or 1000 frames, repsectively. There is no way to extend that range. Read the PS help!
    also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames?
    You don't. What you have in mind won't work, anyways. Content Aware Fill only works per frame and has no temporal stabilization, so each frame will have a different pattern and the resulting animation would flicker and wobble.
    can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?
    That's what use File --> Reload Footage for or simply close and reopen the project.

    First...Stop screaming. It's rude.
    Next...there are some minor problems with your feed. "Drum n Bass" is not a iTunes category. Stick with <itunes:category text="Music" /> remove the others.
    Not required, but recommend to add an <itunes:explicit> tag with a Y or N depending on what suits your podcast. The iTunes staff will remove your feed if it isn't tagged properly.
    MP3 audio files should have a type="audio/mpeg".
    Keep the Podcast spec handy...the categories and other info listed in the spec.
    Test your feed with http://www.feedvalidator.org it will point out problems with your feed.
    The bigger problems stem from your podcast enclosure, specifically the URL.
    The URL you have listed to the podcast mp3 apparently has changed so iTunes can't download the file. It also appears that you are using a "free download" kind of service that uses web page based downloads, which might account for why the URL keeps changing. Don't think that iTunes will be able to properly download the file.

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • What is wrong with this thing?

    Well, I was a very happy iMac user until late May when I suddenly started to get kernel panics every 15 minutes (without any added hardware/software), since then it's been repaired twice, first they swapped the RAM stick and since that didn't fix anything, the next time they swapped the motherboard. All was perfectly fine for few days, until this thing started to freeze with a very loud fan noise, it happens pretty much every day very randomly.
    Things I've tried: reset PRAM, reset SMU, repair permissions, run the CRON scripts, update prebinding, resetting stuff in Open Firmware, run fsck, repair disk... then finally I tried re-installing Tiger using the Erase and Install-option, but my machine froze during the installation as well. Hardware Test has frozen a couple of times too, but when it finally did make through all the tests, it found nothing wrong.
    Only thing I have plugged into it are the Apple keyboard and Mighty Mouse.
    Is there anything I could do? I'm asking just in case since it was a such a hassle getting this machine repaired twice in few weeks since I have no car LOL How many times do I need to get it repaired until I get a replacement? Frankly, I'm getting fed up with this machine. I paid nearly 2000 euros for it, I expect it to last a bit longer than 6 months...
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   20" iSight - 1 gb RAM - 250 gb HD

    There are a couple of things that could be wrong old kaka,
    your replaced motherboard might be failing (it happens more than you think)or your Power Supply Unit could be on its way out (even more likely). Since you are clearly still under warranty, call Apple and make loud, but polite noises. In the long run, they should probably swop your machine out for a new one, but they will probably try for one last repair. In the meantime, please make sure that you have backed up and made a bootable clone of your HD, I use SuperDuper!, it's easy and accurate.
    By the way, when you repaired permissions, was your S.M.A.R.T. status verified?
    One more thing, buy AppleCare now, before your first year of ownership runs out.
    Do post back with results,
    Miriam
