Help with update choices please

Hey there. I just recently (today, in fact) got a shiny new 20GB Zen Touch. I bought it due to some favorable reviews I read about it, but they mentioned updating the firmware and software/drivers before actually using it.
I had no problem finding the page for the downloads, but I am a bit confused as to which ones I should be downloading, and which ones I really need. Its sort of important to minimize my downloads, as unfortunately I am still in the dark ages of dial-up, and 40MB+ files tend to take a while. Like all day. :smileyvery-happy:
So, I could use some helpselecting the updates I need. There appear to be 2 Firmware updates (one for PlaysForSure and one without), several applications, some drivers, etc. I'm no noob to computers (I just built an Athalon-64 Venice core system myself), but I am a COMPLETE noob when it comes to MP3 players and software.
What I really want to do is to rip my CD library to this computer and put it on the Zen. Simple as that. I'm not terribly concerned about tons of additional features, or downloading music from the web (dial-up...). Then I want to hit "Random" and cram my headphones in my ears, and make the world vanish for hours on end. Particularly at work.
So...after I charge my Zen, and install the software that came with it, what is recommended for updates for useage such as mine? Would it be a good idea to get the PlayForSure Firmware update even if I am not getting music from the web (in case I decide to later)? Which of the applications will be most useful for me?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Lucky you checked first.
If you want to use subscription music e.g. Napster to Go, Real Rhapsody, Yahoo Unlimited, and/or you want driverless support with Windows XP, then you need to upgrade to the v2 firmware.
If you don't want this, then leave well alone and don't upgrade even to the v firmware. The v firmware upgrades have bugs with the equaliser.
You may want to get the latest drivers though, and the MediaSource software as follows. These are LARGE downloads though, so best done with broadband:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
Install . then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2. and 3. (the player must be connected for 2. to verify you have a Creative product).

Help with Update failure please

I have Adobe Photoshop CC running on win 7 64 bit. When doing the latest batch of updates one keeps failing with the error message "Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4 Installation Failed Error Code U44M1P7" Can anyone help with this?

Thanks Eshant
I had since been researching this on the web and it seems it is a very
common fault which has not always been fixed by the full re-install
advocated by Adobe in the link you kindly provided. I therefore decided
to keep trying for a couple of days before resorting to such a drastic
solution.
After several failures to get CSXS Infrastructure 4 to install, both via
the CC Desktop App and from the "Help" menu within Photoshop CC, I had
one more try this morning and this time it seems to have installed
without a hitch. I have no idea why, as I have made no system changes,
but for now I do seem to have solved the problem as my installation of
Photoshop CC is now reporting that it is fully up to date.
Thanks for your response.

MAC OS 10.6.8 Using Safari 5.1 Needing Help With Updating Adobe Flash

Hello-
Recently Adobe Flash installed an icon in my System Preferences and when I click the icon there are several tabs. One allows updates to check automatically. It says it will install the latest version of Flash without having to remove the previous version, but I have never been told that a newer version is available unless I clcik "check now." although "Check for updates automatically" is checked, I do not know where it tells me a newer version is available. Also, there has been 5 "newer versions" available since this icon was installed in System Prefeences, I have only found out about the newer versions when I clicked "Check Now." If I read that with this new way to install the latest Mac version of Flash does not require me to uninstall the previous version of Flash how do I install the most recent version of Flash? Does it come in an email?
Since it is not telling me that there is a more recent version of Flash unless I click "Check Now" should I still do it the way I used to install the latest version of flash? (The way before this icon was added to System Preferences)?
I would appreciate help with updating Flash to the most recent version. I used to uninstall the older version, restart the browser and download the most recent version and install it. It always worked find but this was before there was an Adobe icon in my system Preferences.

Hello,
The way you used to do this (uninstall, restart the browser, etc.) is still definitely valid and probably the "safest" way to get a new version installed. Uninstalling shouldn't be required, but it definitely doesn't hurt. If you feel comfortable doing it the old way, please feel free to continue using that process.
As for notifications, this is a bit trickier, but in general you should be notified within 30 days (or so) after a new player is released. This usually occurs when the browser loads swf content. Clicking the button will, like you mention, immediately check. Another alternative to finding out when a new player is released is to subscribe to our Flash Player Releases feed.
Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
Thanks,
Chris

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

HT201541 I need help with updating my browser.

I need help with updating my browser. Its telling me that Safari is outdated.

That is a very old version belonging to Snow Leopard. I take it you are not actually running Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).

I have rolled out bunch of updates across few hundred workstation systems.
Few of the desktops have failed to install SOME of the updates and just can't get my head around as to why?
Looking at one of the workstations, I can see 5 updates are pending download at 0%.
Some of these fail after a while and with in Software Centre, I can see 'Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).'. Not exactly sure what this means, but I have tried clearing the cache and
rebooting the workstations few times.
(I have also tried to use Windows Update and install one of these manually, which worked.)

Investigating this further, I have found the following in CAS.log:

I NEED SOME HELP WITH UPDATING MY IPOD TOUCH PLEASE

i need some help with my ipod the version is 3.1.3 and every time I'm trying to update it says it can not be restored then it says unknown error so i need some help updating my ipod to version 4.2

If you mean you're trying to update your ios go to settings/general/software update. then you should see the latest ios just tap it and it will automatically update your ipod. If you're trying to restore your ipod (as it's not quite clear in your query) try doing it through itunes instead of on the device itself

Help with photo albums Please

Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

Help with Updates

My son has a Droid Inc2 and has had multiple problems with updates. They always happen overnight and he gets a message telling him to do a battery pull to avoid further messages regarding the update. Each time we eventually have to do a hard reset so that we can restore the service to the phone. This has been happening for quite sometime now starting back in early August.
The current software running is 3.02.605.1. My wife messaged a VZW Support Rep on Twitter about it and was told it was an old software version and to keep trying to pull the update. We have stopped trying since having to do a reset this weekend. This is really aggravating and I need to know what we should do. Right now if you check for software update it acts like it's checking but then does nothing more. Then in a couple days the phone will try to update overnight.
Someone please tell me what needs to be done. I have looked thru the oter posts and couldn't find what I needed and got tired of looking at all the pages of posts regarding the updates.
Thx!

Help with Wireless thingy Please!!!

Hi, could someone please help with this? I am quite computer literate except when it comes to anything wireless or networking as it is something I've never used, so heres the problem - I bought ATV, and put a wireless card in the computer - do i need a seperate router to create a network? ATV searches for a network, and finds one, but I am not sure its mine!! ATV not coming up in itunes. Ive tried everything, but its just not happening. If I need a router, fine I'll get one, but if not could I have some instructions please?!!!! Like what on earth do I put in if adding network to atv manually? How do I know what my network name is? Tried with firewalls disabled, and added ports 3689 and 5353 to exceptions. Bearing in mind I need translations for things like DHCP etc! Its a Belkin Wireless G+ Network Card, compatible with ATV. Please help as this is the only thing standing between me and music heaven!!thankyou!

On a mac you could create an ad hoc network with a mac with wi-fi card only and internet sharing enabled, I've not done it and I don't know whether one has the choice to name the network or whether it will be identified as the mac's network name. I guess you will need advice from a PC guy as to whether this can be done on a PC, but my guess is that it can.

Help with update to 2.3

can anyone help with my x10 im unable to update to android 2.3 my phone just says you already have the latest softwere!!!! its driving me insane...

Unfortunately that generally means that the network/country that your handset was manufactured for has not yet passed approval on the 2.3 update. With this being the case there is little that I can advise you do to resolve this until acceptance has been passed on this update.
