How to stop zen micro firmware from changing ID3 ta

Hello
I use itunes to organise my music and whenever i use creative software to put music on my creative zen micro it doesn't understand the tagging, so i edit it again before i upload it onto my player.
My problem is that when i edit it in creatives program it changes the tagging of the file on my pc and i don't want it to do that as it's allready organised the way i want it.
Also there is a little box where you do the editing for creative which says save id3 tags. I always leave that unchecked and it still goes and saves the information. Am I missing something? How do i stop it from doing that?
Cheers,
Kel

    How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
    I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
    Thanks for your help.

    With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
    automatic tool switching
    The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

  • How to stop an unauthorized user from changing my password.

    How do I block an unauthorized user from constantly changing my password?
    I had an old iPod Gen 4 stolen and someone from China is downloading Apps (I get email alerts when they download something and the last message said the computer used is registered in China).  I have changed the account password many times.  However, days later, I will get an alert email that my password was changed (not by me), or I will try to purchase something and my password will not work.  How else can I block this person from changing my password so he/she can use my account?  Will changing my user email address work?  Should I deactiviate all authorized computers to wipe them out?  I do not have any credit cards tied to my account, so they are only downloading free apps.

  • How to stop size of JTextField from changing when I change font to bold

    I'm working on a Sudoku solver for a CS project. I've got JTextFields for the input. I want to bold the entries of the begining puzzle, like they are in the magazines. When I set the font to bold, it changes the size of the text field. I'm using the gridbaglayout and have tried everything to set in stone the size of a text field, but nothing seems to work. I've set the maximum, minimum size, the setSize method, as well as setting the prefered size. But no matter, when I change the font from plain to bold, the box grows in size. How do I prevent this from happening. I can post my gui code if it would help.
    Here is a link to my grid, with the upper left square having bold text:
    http://12.227.129.113/CS486/Project4/Project4.html

  • [Zen Micro] Firmware upgrade has bloc

    Hi,
    I'm upgrading my Zen Micro firmware from ..0 to 2.2.02 version right now, but it looks like the process has stuck. My processor seems not to be working, the progress bar is no more advancing and the arrows on my player are white. There's a message on the window that says "Rebooting your player. Please wait." But nothing actually happens. What should I do? If I plugged off my player, can I cause it any damage? Should I restart the upgrade? As the 'Close' button is available for clicking, I can assume the process is stoppable and its terminating shouldn't cause damages... can't I?
    Please, help me.
    Thank you for your suggestions.
    haunted

    And no software will acknowledge mine since I stupidly upgrade to the 2 level firmware. I've been on a three-week merry go round with email customer service...they've even had me go into the registry of my computer (yikes!) but no solution.

  • ZEN MICRO : firmware history (in

    I'm offering here an overview of the Zen Micro firmware history, as it's impossible to get a full release history from the Creative download website
    Please do NOT use this thread to ask for firmware features (etc). Only to clarify what's IN the existing firmware versions, and what the relations are.
    Each version contains all improvements from the version it is based on. Note that I'm only mentioning the most interesting novelties per release (IMO). Check the actual release notes on the Creative download site, for official info.
    ps: I had this originally in a nice table, but then I discovered that the forum blocks html table tags :-(
    Generally speaking :
    v line of firmware works with all recent Windows versions, and requires you to install Micro-specific drivers on the pc before connecting the Micro. </LI>
    v2 line is so-called "PlaysForSure" (download + subscription) and works only on pc with Windows XP + Windows Media Player 0. You don't need to install any other driver.</LI>

    Also, was there any need to quote the entire first post? I can understand you're trying to emphasise a point but...
    Well, I quoted the entire first post in a rage of fury, so I did not think, I guess. Sorry!
    If you look at the Micro firmware in detail we mostly have two different firmware version, the MTP firmware that was promised, and some bug fixes. That's about all it amounts to.
    Yeah, I know - but it is so typical... The ratio between Micro/Touch updates is like ten to one... bloody ridiculous is what it is, anyway.

  • Next Zen Micro Firmware Suggesti

    I thought it would be a good idea to have a section where people can put in their ideas for new zen micro firmware updates, as for myself i have 2
    . when you select "random play all" from the DJ section it sets your micro to play in shuffle mode, then afterwards when u play music it shuffles the songs you had selected yourself. I think it would be a good idea to add to the next update when "random play all" is off, and one has selected the music on their own it resets to normal mode.
    2. the Creative Jukebox Zen had some EQ features that the Micro does not have. It was able to speed up and slow down songs by 2x. as well it had some EQ settings to make songs sound like they were being played in different enviroments, such as bathroom, concert hall, living room and such. I think the next firmware update should have these features included.
    Anyone else got some ideas? :P

    mikerules,
    No, that's not true.
    Where exactly did you read that? Do you have a link?

  • Zen Micro Firmware Ha

    Hi there!
    Does anyone knows if there is any Zen Micro Firmware Hack avaliable out there. Not that I dislike the original one, bot I love hack around. I used to have Podzilla (a linux distro) on my IPod and would be nice if there was something similar for my ZM.
    Anyway, as a software developer, I could start coding something intereseting (what about a firmware that always use deep sleep? ), but to start, I really need some technical papers about zen's hardware and memory system, since reverse engenering the firmware would take much of my (:sigh busy time...
    See ya!
    Rafael

    It's illegal and probably not a good idea to discuss this here. You can however visit nomadness and see if there is anything on it. I have read people hacking their Zen Jukebox or Zens (not micro) but the hacks aren't that great, most of them only managed to change their menu screens but nothing major.

  • How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing

    I have been trying to stop the SP farm account, spfarm, from password changing.  SharePoint Central Administration is used and I go to Central Security -> Configure managed accounts.  I set spfarm not to change but it makes no difference. 
    It still changes.  When that happens it screws up the SharePoint VSS Writer service account and backups fail (the password synch script has to run to fix).  When the setting in SP CA is changed to allow password changes, the SharePoint VSS Writer
    service account still has a problem and backups fail.
    Additionally, I have run the two below scripts when necessary to try to correct the problem and it works until the password changes again.  It seems as though the password changes whenever the server restarts or at least once every week or so. 
    Can anyone help me with this?  I don't care if the password changes on a schedule as long as it doesn't cause the SharePoint VSS Writer service to fail during backup.
    Repair-SPManagedAccountDeployment (This checks synch of passwords)
    set-spmanagedAccount -UseExistingPassword
    This is on a Windows Small Business Server 2011, which runs SharePoint 2010.
    Tony

    Hi Tony,
    In SBS 2011, use 3 different accounts to run Windows SharePoint Foundation. The accounts are spfarm (SharePoint
    Farm Account), spsearch, and spwebapp. For security reasons the passwords on these accounts are periodically reset. The password for spfarm is reset every 7 days that the Windows SBS Manager service is running.
    à
    How to Prevent SharePoint Farm Password from Changing
    I will suggest that set the password expiry to be longer (such as: a month or 365 days or even more) and apply
    it. Maybe a workaround.
    By the way, the Windows SBS Manager service manages the spfarm account. This spfarm account will be found under
    MyBusiness-> Users-> SBS Users in ADUC. If you navigate to the spfarm account in ADUC and open the Properties of it, then select
    “Password never expires” under Account options in Account tab. Please check if this can help you to achieve target.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Zen Micro Firmware 1.10.02 to 1.11.01 (issue with instructio

    This may seem a little picky. I had previously updated my Zen Micro to firmware .0.02. Now Creative has issues firmware ..0. All fine but my question is:
    The applicability instructions for ..0 state:<FONT face=Verdana size=>
    align=left>You can upgrade from Creative Zen Micro firmware .02.05 or earlier, or Zen Micro
    align=left>PlaysForSure? firmware 2.00.2 or later.
    So technically I cannot update from .0 to .. Does anyone know if there is a technical reasion or just an oversite in the instructions?
    Regards
    JoRoFo

    It's a bit of an oversight. Creative had actually removed .0.02 from the website just days after it was released because we, the users, found it to be severely flawed. Those instructions were written as though it was never released.
    You can update to ..0 from .0.02 without a problem.Message Edited by dingus on 08-8-2005 06:08 AM

  • Zen Micro Firmware 2.20.05 with Audible suppo

    So I was checking out Audible.com to see what devices are listed and I noticed the Zen Micro was there. It was weird because non of the firmwares listed on Creative.com showed Audible Support. So I e-mailed Audible asking what firmware they tested out for the Zen Micro that supports Audible. So they e-mailed me back saying go to this website: <a href='http://www.audible.com/muvo_upgrade.html' target=_blank>www.audible.com/muvo_upgrade.html[/url] (yes it says muvo but that doesn't mean anything). Click on Creative Zen Micro or scroll all the way down. The link they gave was a download from their website as a file named: ZenMicroP4SAudible_2_20_05.zip Now it doesn't take a smart guy to notice that 2_20_05 is the firmware version of the file. And any firmware beginning with 2 is considered the PlaysForSure firmware if going by Creative's convention of firmware numbering.
    Only one problem. I dont have a Zen Micro to try it out. And its not even listed on Creative's support pages as a download.
    I'm curious and I'm sure many others here are as well, does this firmware fix the battery drain issue? Also does it have any new features or does it fix anything else?

  • Zen Micro firmware update prob

    Hi everyone,
    I've got a problem trying to upgrading my Zen Micro Firmware. When it says that I have to wait while it's rebooting the player, nothing happens. When I do it manually, the firmware is still the old one. Does anyone know what I have to do?

    I too have exactly the same problem. Micro reboots once, then just sits there doing nothing. I have tried the on/off method ,as you said, it goes back to the old firmware. Having tried to load the update offline with no background programs running I still got the same fault (even leaving it for half an hour.) I have now given up as i am worried that it may corrupt the existing firmware. I have turned of the snooper setting as requested . I think that it shows signs that after the first reboot the computer is not recognizing the players USB. So it may be that after the st reboot the usb may need to be removed/reconnected. But i'm not going to take that chance as you will be losing power when trying to upgrade. Best way to corrupt a download on any item plugged to the USB is to remove it will been accessed.
    Still waiting for a reply from Creative.
    Having read threads about the new firmware upgrade I think were best to stay with the old one for a little while longer.

    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!
