For those who complain about no Stop but

If you haven't figured it out already, pressing the Pause button then the Next button is the equivalent of a stop button. It returns the current song to the beginning. I guess Creative ran out of buttons for a stop button and had to use that instead to keep the design streamlined.

Basically there's no need for a stop button, although it does make people feel comfortable and it does have its own unique operation. More here on this in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

  • Open Question: question to those who comment about the lack of apps for Windows Phone 8

    We have read every Lumia review and we are listening. An open question to those who comment about the lack of apps for Windows Phone 8.Tell us which apps you miss? Nokia/MSFT Customer Care

    The major apps that are missing are Banking Apps.  There are a few, but major banks like Regions Bank, Capital One Bank, are nowhere to be found for Windows Phone.  Microsoft should be pursuing these banks to develop apps for the platform.  Maybe bribe them with free software or tech support or something.  Also some of the dating apps like Grindr for the gay community, Blender for the straight community, are lacking as well.  Perhaps Microsoft could assist them in developing the "unified" app for both Windows and Windows Phone?
    In fact, Microsoft would do well to begin a "Developer Assistance Program" where developers could (for a small fee) contact the DAP Center and get assistance with issues creating apps for the Windows Platform.  If developers know they have a source to go for assistance, they may be more inclinded to develop better apps.

  • Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

    Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:

    If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

    Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
    Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
    I think you should be fine.
    I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

    For those who have problems RE: My iPhone 4 connecting to my pc shows my friends name in the DIGITAL camera Drive..It dsiplays my correct name when I`m on iTunes..PLEASE HELP ME HOW DO I CHANGE THE NAME IN THE DIGITAL CAMERA DRIVE??
    SOLUTION:
    Iam pointing t0 windows7 os.
    1) go to control panel
    2) open hardware and sound
    3) In that open Devices and printers
    4)In that u can find Apple Iphone.
    5) now right click on this --> Hardware --> Properties --> General --> Uninstall --> ok.
    6) now unplug and plug in ur iphone again.There u go u iphone name changes to its original name.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • IPod Info for those who need it

    Just thought I'd give some help to those who need it.
    - For those who are having trouble with their ipods accepting some videos and not others, try shortening the names of the video files. As long as the video files are in the proper format, this should clear up that issue.
    - For those who want to get the songs off of your ipod without having to worry about the iTunes one-way syncing issue the following programs will help you with that:
    PodPlus
    iPod Agent
    - For those who are just curious, here are the size incriments for data:

    Byte
    Kilobyte
    Megabyte

    What is an ideal average setting for my homemade iMovies?
    Settings for your iMovie for what? If your are talking about conversion to an iPod compatible format, which format? Are you more concerned with quality or quantity?
    First, what's the best, fastest and easiest way to convert these iMovies to the H.264 (is that done through iMovie or QT Pro or both) and what other settings (audio for one) should I be using besides the standard 30 fps ?
    Your are using the same QT tools whether you convert directly from iMovie or indirectly via QT Pro using a reference file. (I.e., the only time you save is the time it takes to write the reference file itself.)
    Define what you mean by best.
    The "Movie to iPod (320x240)" option is the fastest in terms of programming your conversion but the slowest in terms of time it take for processing. The "Movie to MPEG4" option is slower/harder to program for a single pass H.264 encode, but takes half the time to process as the dedicated H.264 option. MPEG4 video options (single pass and 2-pass modes) are faster than H.264 codec. Audio options are the same for both H.264 and MPEG4 formats -- AAC LC. I personally would stick with the 44.1 kbps sampling rate and 128 kbps data rate for audio but you could take it up to 48 kbps at 160 kbps if you want. As to frame rate, I would stick with the current (original) setting of your source. 30 (29.97) fps provides the smoothest flow of motion. You could, of course, try 24 or even 15 fps in some cases to see if it is acceptable. Dropping below 12 fps would probably be unacceptable to most people. But you're the producer and director here, so you have to make up your own mind.

  • Important News For Those Who Use Hulu And Other Flash Video Websites.

    Adobe will release the next update to the Adobe Flash software in the next few weeks and that update will bring better GPU video decoding acceleration for Windows if you have recent graphics hardware from ATI, Nvidia, or Intel. This update is VERY important for those who use laptops which have less powerful processors and hardware than desktops usually do. In order to take advantage of this update when it comes out, you MUST have the latest graphics cards drivers for your hardware. ATI, Nvidia, and Intel will all be releasing new drivers  specifically for the updated Flash software so keep an eye on the respective websites for your graphics hardware maker. Of those companies, only Intel and Nvidia have drivers available for testing at the moment, but ATI is not far behind.

    You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

  • I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
    Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

  • Future Music good for those who have not yet learned all

    Future Music Magazine, which I get on the magazine rack at my WalMart, has some good stuff in November-December issues for those who need to learn more. I am talking about a two-part article, "The A to Z of digital music". or something like that. A through M is covered in the November issue. N through Z is planned for December. Topics A-Z are explained in a paragraph or more. EQ is covered for example. November also has a tutorial sort of thing on Reverb.
    Future Music has not always been so helpful. I did not find much in the October issue akin to what I have mentioned above.
    I think these two issues of Future Music will be quite helpful to me and perhaps to others among us also.
    LuckyMan

    Correction. Various topics, beginning with A through Z, are EACH explained in a paragraph or more. Sometimes there is a little essay on a topic. Good for newbies and sometimes good for non-newbies who must do not know it all yet.

  • For Those Who Can't Boot After Upgrading To 10.5.6

    For Those Who Can't Boot After Upgrading To 10.5.6
    (and i am one of those)
    how is Apple supposed to make them able to install future fixes and updates
    once they finally acknowledge and address this horrible bug?
    will they send free bootable CDs with the updates to 10.5.6?

    What "Boot ROM version" do you have (check in the system profiler under "Hardware")? If it's not MBP31.0070.B07 or MBP21.00A5.B08, then you will need to update your MacBook Pro's firmware. To do this, you might need to connect an external display and mouse/keyboard, and then run the computer with the lid closed to bypass the laptop's monitor. Then apply the firmware patch and reboot the system. This might also be doable via "Screen Sharing" if you have that enabled and have another mac handy.
    The firmware update is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/macbookproefifirmw areupdate151.html

  • For those who are interested in buying a W520: flaw summary

    Hey,
    I´m still indecisive whether I want to get my own W520 or not. Part of it of course is the number of issues people have been unveiling in this forum. For all those who are considering too, and for my self I'd like to summarize the bugs and flaws that are still present and those that had been fixed by Lenovo since the launch of the W520 back in march.
    No question, the W520 is a nice and impressive machine and no laptop out there comes with really no problems at all.
    I guess it's just looking like Lenovos are quite flawed these days because everyone expects those to be 100% fine, since they are thinkpads and thinkpads are as a matter of a fact flawless.
    Quick list of things that should (hopefully) sooner or later be fixed:
    Software bugs and flaws:
    power management regulation that's supposed to keep the battery alive by limiting the CPU to 800 MHz does get confused by changing the power supply while sleeping, resulting in a throttled machine with AC power supply or a unthrottled machine running on battery, unless you plug-out and plug-in your power supply again while running
    troublesome bluetooth driver wiped some harddrives (fixed now, or at least that particular driver is no longer downloadable)
    fancontrol goes crazy and pulses every 5 or 30 seconds (for many people)
    fan is too active (too loud) while having no or low load on the system
    warmboot issues with an SSD as main drive delays startup because of an unnecessary check
    some driver seems to constantly write something onto your main drive while the ODD is mounted (which would lead to wearing out a SSD, not confirmed by others yet)
    Hardware bugs and flaws:
    fan creates a high frequent noise starting at 2nd level of speed (?)
    many accessory products like the docking station and the ultra bay HDD carrier were advertised as fitting for the W520 as well as for the W510, but obviously don't fit
    (two people in this forum had dieing speakers that would do nothing but make a clicking noise)
    Is this pretty much what I'll run into when I order my own W520 or did I miss something?
    For the time being:
    using TPFC
    always restart manually with "shutdown" while using a ssd
    double checking if it's the right docking and ultra bay for the w520
    and plugging the power supply just after turning the machine on
    solves all the issues reportet here, except for the high pitched noise of the fan, that many people complain about,
    or doesn't it?
    (not listed abone for beeing more a feature than a bug or something like that:
    ultra nav issues caused by manufacturers settings
    network issues caused by manufacturers setting
    problems with unsupported ram)
    so long,
    and thanks for all the fish

    The issue that is most annoying for me is"
    - warmboot issues with an SSD as main drive delays startup (by 40 seconds) because of an unnecessary check
    (I have the Intel 510 SSD).
    Otherwise, the W520 is the best laptop I have ever owned and very FAST!!!
    W520 4270CTO i7-2820QM Quadro2000M 1920x1080 Display 16GB RAM 2x240GB Intel 510 SSDs (RAID 0) - BIOS 1.42 - PCMark7:4,568

  • A Few Quick Tips For Those Who Are New To Fios Quantum and the New Quantum Update

    Most of those who have quantum received the new update early this morning (8/12/14)
    There are a lot of people that are new to fios who never had anything prior to quantum so I thought I'd make this post to help.
    Those who had the older boxes prior to quantum should already know about all of this.
    The new update now reflects what the older stb/dr's have and have had for awhile now. There are now more menu settings you will want to go through.
    The ad banner guide at the bottom can be disabled. Go to menu > Notifications > Guide Banner > set to disable
    The banner will still be there, but will show Verizon rather then ads.
    The home screen can be turned off. There is an option to turn it off within the home screen or you can go to menu > Notifications > Promotions > set to disable
    The led on the boxes have been changed. If you want to change it go to menu > System > Media Server Settings > LED Brightness.
    The Auto Power Off option is set to 4 hours by default. If you don't want the box to turn off automatically you will want to disable this. Menu > System > Media Server Settings > Auto Power Off > set to none
    There is now the option to change the guides banners times outs. Menu > Settings > System > Television > Info Bar Time Out (also Channel Bar Timeout)
    Some on other forums mentioned the video formats have been changed so its a good idea to check the option out to see if it reflects what you want. Menu > Settings > Audio & Video > Video Settings > Video Format
    The aspect # button now works so any SD channels that are boxed can now be stretched using the # button. 
    I'm happy to see this option back.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the info regarding the latest update. I like some of the new/improved options, however I am highly disappointed that the update discontinued the reminder option. I would think that setting a program reminder is a highly used feature and many will be unhappy now that it is gone. I know I surely am!

  • For those who's Vision:M's battery won't char

    I bought myself the 30GB Zen vision:M last week for my birthday and after the annoying dead battery issue/no communication via USB cordproblem?many of us are facing, I broke down and shelled out the extra money on a wall charger. :angry: When I plugged it in that way it would turn on and if I kept it plugged into the wall at the same time I had the USB connected on my PC, I could move music and photos onto it etc. BUT, after 24 hours of charging I still had no battery icon and only a plug icon AND?no charge on the battery. I contacted customer service?and go an automated answer only and several useless links for issues I am not having with mine.
    Finally, I found a posting about "jump starting" the battery and it worked for me!? So, I am passing it on. With your Vision plugged into the wall via the adapter,?use a wall outlet that can be turned off and on using the wall switch. Turn the switch on, let the screen light up and then turn the switch off and on two or three times, each time letting the blue lights and screen come on before flipping the switch back off. To my surprise, when I went back over to my player, I was looking at the charging battery icon for the first time since this thing arri'ved last Friday!? I had already contacted the place I ordered it from intending to ship it back and get an iPod instead but it looks like this saved me some headache and solved the problem!? Just wanted to pass it on!? Vanessa? :smileyvery-happy:

    Hi There,? I would have to say that I was in the position of getting a new one and when I looked into that I read several posts about people who went through several exchanges and found they had the same problem with each. Basically, the units sit in warehouses so long that the battery is completely dead by the time it gets to you. Some people can somply buy a plug in charger and that works for them. For me, I never got a battery icom at all until I did the kick-start.
    No, I haven't had any issues with my player since I got the battery to jump start. Everything is awesome!
    As far as the person who has the battery icon but it isn't charging fast. With mine it took several hours after the jump start but I had also had it plugged in for days before I had the icon so it wasn't completely dead when I finally got the icon. I would say to the person who has the icon to be patient and let it charge for an entire day or overnight. If that doesn't work then definately it is a battery issue and you should exchange your player. :-)? Vanessa
