Help !!!!!! How do you save a copy of your Zen player's content before formatti

How do you Save a copy of your Zen player's content before formatting? I have no clue how? I don't want to go through the trouble of re-downloading everything back to my player? Someone Please Help me!!!

If you reformat the player you'll be erasing all the flash memory. There is no way to avoid re-downloading your content since it isn't going to reappear by magic.
Normally the PC you use as your primary media library has a copy of all your ripped/downloaded stuff already. I don't see why you're opposed to syncing it back to the player after you reformatting. ?Regardless, if the player isn't frozen or otherwise misbehaving you should be able to drag-and-drop copy to contents to a handy PC with enough space. If you have DRM-controlled content at minimum you'll have to re-sync the associated licenses to make them play again once you copy them back since you can't retrieve the DRM keys off the player. It probably won't prevent you from copying the encrypted files themselves although it may; DRM systems almost uni'versally support a "No Copy" flag for content on the player to prevent copying it back the rights holder chooses to flag the content that way.
If you're just updating the firmware of the player the contents are unlikely to be damaged in the process (but it is always good to have a backup just in case).
If your player isn't misbehaving one is left wondering why are you want to reformat it's Doing a "clean up" will often fix most issues of corrupted files and mangled metadata.

  • HELP - how do you save pictures through the recovery mode?

    How do you save pictures through the recovery mode.  I have the black screen with cursor and despite trying all the tips noted here nothing seems to fix the issue.  These have included using Utility disk to re-install OS-X, repairing the disks.  Also tried the holding shift on start up and entering username and password.  Also tried internet recovery and then repair and re-install.  Nothing works!
    Happy to restore from a back up, but I have been rubbish and not backed up for a long time.  Also happy to delete and re-install completely but don't want to loose pics.
    Please let me know any suggestions!!

    That requires that you can boot the MBP. 
    Or to boot the mac using the time machine back up?
    You can try using startup manager:

    But you still need a working volume where you can install the backed up data.
    The good news is that since you have a Time machine backup, you can transfer that data to another Mac or clone:

  • How do you save homemade DVD to your hard drive?

    I just had a friend give me a burned DVD of video he took of an event.  I want to share it on facebook, but I have to find a way to get it saved on my lap top first.  I downloaded Xilisoft to do this, but it's still not working (even though the program said my info was successfully copied).  What am I doing wrong?  Help!

    Hi,
    The best option is to pull the card out and plug to your computer UNLESS your computer does not have a card reader. If your computer did not have a card reader, you need to map the cardreader on your printer to your network using the following method:

  • How do you save a sound to your computer?

    I can get as far as actually getting it on the computer, but then it comes up in a weird qcp format or something which isn't readable by ANYTHING. I've tried converting it but the file type can't be read by any program or anything. I have the Samsung Intensity III. Please help, I need these sounds.

    I have not used a basic phone in many years. However if the file is on your computer as you state in Windows Explorer, select file, and check the box to show the full file extension. (View hidden files and folders) Have not done this in awhile either.
    Now go to where the music file resides, right click it and where you see the file extension change it to .wav or .mp3 or .WMA
    And then click the file and select play. On cell phones there is also a file type of .w4a ( I have seen this for iphones but it may be a universal file type extension)
    Try it and see if any of them work. There is also a Real Player extension of .ra again it is trial and error.
    Another trick is to Google the music extension and see what can open and play it. Please remember I don't remember all file types. Google is your best bet.
    Good Luck

    I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
    But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
    know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
    You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
    How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
    Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
    From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
    Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
    But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
    Is all of the above correct so far?
    If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
    a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
    b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
    Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
    c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
    setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
    I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
    your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
    so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
    Thanks.

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    sarah

    and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.
    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • How do you save a transformed image?

    Windows Store App 8.1.
    I have an image that the user has rotated, scaled and clipped etc.  How do you save the transformed image?
    There are solutions of the forums but these use the System.Media.Imaging library that isn't available, classes like the TransformedBitmap etc. are not available. 
    I'm playing around with this approach but the decoder throws a "The image format is unknown"; 
    imageManipulation is UIElement.Image.
    Any ideas on how to achieve the saving of a Transformed image in a 4.5.1 8.1 store app?
    RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap();
    await rtb.RenderAsync(imageManipulation, (int)imageManipulation.ActualWidth, (int)imageManipulation.ActualHeight);
    IBuffer buffer = await rtb.GetPixelsAsync();
    using (InMemoryRandomAccessStream ras = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream())
    await ras.WriteAsync(buffer);
    await ras.FlushAsync();
    BitmapDecoder dec = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(BitmapDecoder.BmpDecoderId, ras);

    Hi,
    You can use BitmapEncoder to apply transforms such as scaling and cropping, set metadata and properties, and edit pixels while preserving any unedited
    data. After transform the data, you can copy the contents from the in-memory stream to the original file’s stream and close all of the streams. That make you can save the encoded image to the file:
    memStream.Seek(0);
    fileStream.Seek(0);
    fileStream.Size = 0;
    await RandomAccessStream.CopyAsync(memStream, fileStream);
    fileStream.Dispose();
    memStream.Dispose();

  • How can you save an app's data?

    Hi, how can you save an app's data? For example, if I want to switch some applications on my iPod with those were on my iTunes Apps Library, iTunes will force to remove the apps that was on my device and sync the apps that I want onto my iPod. But once the app is removed from my iPod, its data will be erased too, so, for example months later, I want to put them back onto my iPod, I will lose all the apps data and games progress. So, I just want to know the way that people save their apps data.

    Yo can't. apps are locked to the account thatpurchased them and in-app purchases can only be mad with the account that originally purchased the app.

  • How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ?

    How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ? 
    Can't seem to find an option to do this  ...  Lost message typed half way  when I got out of the editor to check the calendar.
    Am I missing something or has Nokians obsoleted this function on the latest S40 platform ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi all,
    Like sudude here pointed out that's one way of leaving text as "draft" to message editor. Or you can also select Options > More > Exit editor to do the same. And, next time when you select Create message that previous text should be there as it was left.
    But there is also another option to start writing SMS's - with Notes application. Select Menu > Apps > Notes. Write a note and save it. Then for that note select Options > Send note > Send as message. Now your note is copied to message editor and you can send it or further edit and then send. Neat thing here is that when you use Notes application, text can be saved for later editing or use.

  • How do you save a report from VB?

    Post Author: calvin
    CA Forum: .NET
    How do you save an updated Crystal Report (CRXI) from a VB.Net (2005) program?
    We're using the ReportDocument object model, not the CrystalViewer
    & it appears there's a SaveAs method but not Save.Worse, the SaveAs doesn't seem to work. I get a convoluted error message that essentially says the file is in use, even when I'm saving it to a new filename. (The file it's referring to is the copy of the original file in the Temp directory.) I can post a screen capture of the entire error message if anyone thinks it will be useful.
    Thanks.

    "Curiouser and curiouser. said Alice." I feel like I'm in Wonderland-the SaveAs works for some reports, but not for others. The task is to create an application consisting of a VB.Net program and a set of reports. The reports must be able to be run 'stand-alone' in Crystal Reports XI, and also to be run under control of the VB program. The report output is to go to PDF, not to be viewed online. It's absolutely amazing, to me, how little support there is for this type of thing. Why? Possibly it's considered simple-and it seems like it should be, except that some reports won't run under control of the VB program. When I got involved there had been a database change so the problem initially appeared to be running the VerifyDatabase command. (The reports being tested ran fine after they'd been fixed up in Crystal-but this wasn't expected to be the last database change so there was still a need for a programmatic fixup.) After running the VerifyDatabase command in the VB program the 'fixed' report couldn't be saved to verify that the report had been fixed-and it still wouldn't run. Now, I'm leaning towards the idea that the database change was a red herring. We've found some reports that have been fixed up but still won't run. Mostly they just 'hang'. If we get any output at all (usually after killing the application) it's the same record reported over and over. Anybody got any ideas?

  • IMovie crashed, lost project. How do you SAVE in iMovie? Where's the file?

    Just spent 4-5 hours building a complicated movie from a year's worth of footage. At some point, iMovie crashed. I think I lost all those hours of creative decision making, since I cannot see the file when I reopen iMovie.
    There is no "open" command in the file menu. There is no "save" command in the file menu.
    This would imply that Apple was autosaving for me to save me trouble. Hmm. I can save in almost every program I use, and revert, and save versions.
    How do you save a project in iMovie? I don't see save in the file menu, as has been the steadfast tradition of Apple applications since I purchased my first Mac in 1984. What in the blazes have you done with SAVE? It is so basic.
    Along the same line, where is the project file located on my hard drive? I would like to open it. Since I assume you have been autosaving to somewhere, could you please let me know where my file is saved.
    <Edited by Host>

    This just appeared to happen to me too.  I tried clicking on the file in Movies/iMovie Projects.  That didn't work.
    Then, I made a copy of the  file in a safe place.  I noticed it was 2.2 MB, so something had to be in there.  Next, I started iMovie and clicked the Project Library arrow.  The project was listed there.  I opened it and got back most but not all of the work.  It lost a lot of my audio changes.  Here's the thing.  I worked until about midnight, and then left iMovie up and running til noon.  You would think it would have autosaved the changes by the time I came back.  I suggest making your own copy of the file now and then, just in case.
