List of problems I'm having with Zen (2/4/8/16/32GB) after firmware update (12/

Anyone else having these problems? Just out of curiousity.
1. Jumpy main menu. When scrolling through, the menu will lag, and then jump.
2. Bad playback in standard WMVs. Unless the video is encoded with DivX or maybe XviD (untested), the sound is crackly and the video is a bit jumpy.
3. Song timer is skippy.

  • Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

    Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem: 
    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

    Hi,
    If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD.  Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
    Windows 7 32bit
    Windows 7 64bit
    You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, or if you already have this, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the Rescue CD.  Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
    When loaded, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt.  When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
    Bootrec.exe
    bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
    c:
    cd boot
    attrib bcd -s -h -r
    ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
    bootrec /RebuildBcd
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.

  • Problems I'm having with Adobe digital editions

    Hi.
    I hope that you can help me sort out the problems I’m having with Adobe digital editions. I installed it when I bought an e-book reader, and it worked just fine.
    I think the problems started after I downloaded some updates, and I can still download books from my public library onto my laptop, but can’t transfer them to my e-book reader.
    It says that my laptop is not authorised, and when I try to authorise it I get the following statement which is printed in red on my screen.
    Activation server error.
    Code:  e_auth_not_ready
    Digital edidtions encountered an error on the activation server
    I hope that the above will give you some insight into what my problem might be, and that you can suggest a fix for it.
    Thank you so much for any help you are able to give me.
    Regards, ron.

  • Sleep problems (even after firmware update)

    Hello
    Previously I was having problems where I would put my Macbook to sleep only to find it an hour later in my bag blazing hot with the fan working overtime.
    The recent firmware update seems to have fixed that problem but it's been replaced by another. What happens now is when I get home and retrieve the Macbook from my bag and open the lid the hard disk makes it's familiar waking up sound but the screen doesn't come back on - and I'm not really sure if the computer has woken up or not - sounds like things are happening inside the metal but no beeps or burps when I randomly press keys / try to make things happen.
    In the end I'm forced to hold down the start up button and force a shut down.
    Anyone else having this? This doesn't seem to happen when I wake from sleep at any other time than when I take the computer from work to home which makes me think it's something to do with maybe my Bluetooth mouse or wireless network?
    This is really frustrating and I'm sure forcing a shut down isn't doing my HD any favors.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers
    Dom

    I forgot to mention, DenverEagle, some more details.
    My iMac would do the same thing: if it went to sleep, it either just shut down, or restarted, instead. If I turned off sleep, all was OK (for awhile. Eventually it had an episode where I turned it off and it would not start back up. Eventually, it did start back up [after about a day's rest]. That was when I took it in).
    So it might be the same problem I had.
    The software steps I was told to do, in attempt to resolve it, were:
    1) Delete my power settings preferences file, and;
    2) Reset the SMU, and;
    3) Reset the PRAM/NVRAM.
    None helped, but they're easy, so you might try them. I don't think I they have any nasty side effects, but buyer beware.
    I'm a little hazy on #1, and I can't find the tip online, but I think it just involved deleting the file:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    Number 2 is outlined here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
    Number 3 is outlined here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    I took my iMac to the Cherry Creek Apple store, and they fixed it really fast (it was 4 days, including a weekend, IIRC).

  • I keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

    i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

    I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
    that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
    hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
    try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
    does iTunes launch properly?

  • Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

    Hi,
    I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
    But now I have following problems:
    I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
    The Radio app. is gone
    Does anyone has a solution for this?
    Iwan

    It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????

    Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????  AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router.  Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro.  Does this sound right?

    If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
    Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
    One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
    One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
    You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
    Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
    Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
    Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
    You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
    Good luck.

  • Major problems I am having with the K8N neo platinum:(:(

    Hiya all,
    I bought this K8N motherboard two weeks ago and at first I seemed very happy with it, but when fulfilling the final steps in the installation of my PC(being installing of all my important games, voice over IP software, firewalls, security etc)I started noticing some very very disturbing things.
    First of all, my onboard sound is totally unusable for online gaming, my microphone cannot be set up no matter what combinations of options I use. The sound is just messed up. When i and my friend enter our ventrilo server and he starts speaking he hears himself 10 times in an echo, and its not him thats causing this its me. When another friend joins and i leave all is just fine(hence i am the cause). Also to try and fix this problem i bought a soundblaster live 5.1. I can install it under windows XP but for the life of me I cannot get my microphone to lit up my ventrilo voicechat thus my voice is not recognized and not processed, so this then also does not work, 2 methods to get voice over IP working and none of them work??? I will award MSI the nobel price of irony for that.
    Secondly, all punkbuster related online games have become totally unplayable. At first I got very annoying freezes every 2-3 minutes, it lasts a few secs and then i can play on for 2-3 more minutes until it happens again, and again and again....... Now I fixed that particular problem by downloading specially modified Call of Duty 3.9 ATI catalyst drivers but the fun doesn't stop there. Now when I play games I get strokes of extreme choppyness in an online game like Enemy Territory. When setting my fps to a steady 76fps and seeing it stay that way and knowing it can easily stay stable even at 100fps is what I find very very weird. So my comp runs very smooth, but lo and behold there is still choppy performance, other players struttling ahead as if all of them have major lag(while all sport pings of ~20-40).
    When I then start shooting its even more difficult to get a good aim cuz they lag and one time they are here, the next they are in an entirely diff spot and my shooting certainly doesn't help to decrease the choppyness:) Its not allways this bad but every game I play has these bad spells, sometimes the entire game, sometimes only half the time depending on whats happening onscreen I guess.
    Now with my Pentium 4 2.8Ghz and my exact same radeon I did not have any of these problems, its a slower comp but it still runs these online games 10x smoother??? I have noticed however that it is indeed mainly related to punkbuster or opengl related games. And as far as I can tell, only ATI suffers from it, since my friend who has exactly the same setup as me runs supersmooth with no lag whatsoever. All he has diff from me is his graphics card, which is nvidia???
    Am I now forced to shell out another 300$ for an nvidia based card that matches the speed of my 9800 pro?? This whole buying of the MSI has grown into quite the ordeal.
    Thirdly, I am also noticing some strange temps on my CPU, i have a zalman CPS7000A-alcu and it should cool better than stock, but after 4 reseats and applying of AS5(applied according to their instructions on site)it still gives me temps of 59°C at full load????? I find this really really high, and I do know i applied the paste very very good. I can tell cuz after I reseated it a few times each time you can clearly see how good it has spread towards all the edges. And its a fine thin layer, so no probs on my end. I am doing all this by the book and with greatest care.
    As I am a clanbase player, and a very good one at that, I am seriously hampered in my gaming experience. While I used to get killed/deaths ratios of on average K:60-90+ /D:11-20 on my P4 for Enemy Territory I now have a very hard time even getting on K:50 D:32 each level. This is a serious dent in my budget as well since now for sanctioned events I will have to buy a new comp just to be able to play to my old standards:(:(:(
    I have reached a point where I cannot do anything anymore, I have asked many questions already(ATI, Punkbuster, Nvidia, MSI), and all i get is standard set up mailing lists with what I could do. If this is customer support then plz crown me Sultan of Brunei, cuz I can do it like this too. Is this adressing a problem, eeerm I think mr Spock after looking at it logically would not even deem this worthy to an answer, since its that obvious.
    So basically noone is willing to help, they are very willing to grab your money but when it comes to support all you get is a cheap script saying, when mail sent to [email protected] send "Standard mailing list A" back, when mail sent to [email protected] reply with "standard mailing list Ç", etc etc.
    Sad very sad how they treat us poor dumb customers these days,
    Regards,
    A disgruntled MSI buyer
    PS : I said above this problem is mainly related to ATI based cards but when you try to tell me i should try new drivers then plz don't go there cuz I tried everything from omega to iota and nothing works, the only thing that even stops the freezing is the specially modded drivers some dude fixed up. But it still leave me with crappy performance.

    If you would like to submit a list, numbered (1, 2, 3, 4) with problems and your complete configuration, I'd be happy (along with others) to go through and find the problems for you.
    If you just want to post a rant with "MSI Sucks" and admit your a chump for doing a stupid thing like buying an MSI boar: Then just return it please. Save others the trouble and get your money back.
    That way you are happy, and don't have such a high stress level.

  • Problems with iTunes syncing iPhotos on Time Capsule after Mavericks update?

    Hello all,
    I currently have all my Music/Movies/TV Shows/Photos stored on my Time Capsule and have been using iTunes and iPhoto to retreive files from it with no problems until I recently upgraded to Mavericks.
    Couple of days ago, I updated to Mavericks, downloaded the latest version of iPhoto and iTunes. Yet once I've done so I could no longer sync photos to my iPhone, iPad or even see my photos on my Apple TV. I could however see the Music other Media. It took iTunes abnormally longer time to retrieve the data from the network and once it did and tried to sync them with the phone it just hung and crashed.
    I tried doing the following:
    Deleting the iPod, Apple TV cache from the iPhoto library.
    Fixed iPhoto Permissions and rebuilt the whole of the iPhoto library.
    Deleted my iTunes library and rebuilt it from scratch.
    All that did not work. The only thing that did however, was taking the photos from the Time Capsule and back to my computer. That seemed to fix things and I was able to make everything work again.
    What I am asking is: Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this an OS bug that will be addressed? or is there anyway I could fix this on my own? I only own a Macbook Air and the 15GB of photos I have already take a huge chunk out of the 59GB I have available on my laptop. Thanks.

    I have a new Time Capsule (the tall version), but no Mavericks yet (I have OSX 10.8.5) and latest iTunes and Time Capsule sw. I have pictures and iTunes library on the Time Capsule.
    iTunes messes a lot with synching pictures and music.
    I have tried to delete the picture cache on the Capsule, but that only helped once. Next time it looked over the pictures for a long time, but synched none. With music I get an error message that it's wrong format (it isn't, the file is fine, I can see it) - and since next time that song will/might come in, but some next song won't. Then it could gray out some music on iPad (running iOS 6.1.3), some times it actually plays grayed out music, some times it doesn't.
    But on my Mac Mini (which runs iTunes, all year long), all is fine, so the music exists fine! Synching looks very broken to me! This happened when my wide Time Capule's disk broke and I had to recover the iTunes library from a backup.
    I'd rather not move all of this onto the MacBook, as I want anyone to be able to synch and play music wouthot having to relate to some laptop.

    I have a Linksys WRT54G version 1.1. I also have AT&T SBC Yahoo! DSL with the SpeedStream 5100 DSL modem.
    It previously had the original firmware, as I never updated it. Last night I updated the firmware. It was successful. However ever since I have not been able to successfully connect to my SBC DSL.
    I set it to PPPOE and used my SBC username and password to connect but it would not connect. Router name, domain name, host name and the new field called "service name" were all left blank previously....so I do not think anything changed there. I talked to the SBC technical support and the lady had no information to give me regarding any of those fields because the router was 3rd party....she gave me the Linksys number but how are they supposed to know any of SBC's specific information?  Anyway I figured I mind as well post here instead of waiting in line for an on-line Linksys technical advisor.
    There were also new added options in the updated firmware version like "advanced settings" I believe it is called....since the firmware update the "router" was set to be a hub instead of a router....so I changed it to router. Then I was able to go to status and finally be able to connect. Prior to that it was giving me an error saying it was not able to obtain an IP address from the server.
    Although I was able to connect to the SBC DSL service through the router I am still unable to actually get an internet connection. Cannot receive weather through weatherbug or access websites through IE7. For the time being I disconnected the router and have the modem hooked directly to my desktop. This works OK temporarily but I'd love to get the router up and running again so I could use my wireless laptop as well as the increased security that the router provides.
    If you can think of something I am forgetting or doing wrong with this new firmware update let me know. There are a bunch more options and settings than the original firmware that I am not really familiar with. Thank you in advance!

    With most AT&T systems, the modem does your PPPoE login.  The Linksys router should not repeat this login.  Instead, in the WRT54G, the "Internet Connection Type" should be set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).  This is the factory default setting.
    Additionally, after a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    So, to fix your system, do the following:
    First, reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, then power down your network, then wire the ethernet port on the 5100 to the Internet port on the WRT54G.  Leave one computer wired to a LAN port on the WRT54G.  Power up your network.  It should work.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router might be dead.  Report back with this problem.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Problems with waking after firmware update ...

    Hi ya'll - quick question.
    Did the latest firmware update last night and have noticed that waking the computer from sleep has become a problem, maybe once every three times I try to wake it? The backlight visibly turns on and illuminates the black screen, but the password box dosen't ever pop up, leaving me with a plain cursor. I'll try to hit random buttons (not that I think it'll help, but you know) and the 'Funk' sound plays, so I know the computer is working and is on. I have to hold the power button and restart it everytime. Any reason this might be happening now, after the update? It used to every now and then, and had sllooow wake times before the update, the latter of which has been fixed. The update was performed right and completed itself, etc.
    Thanks for any help!

    i also have problems waking it up since the efi firmware update! i primarily use the macbook only with an exernal display and wake it up by plugging in the power, lan, display and usb connectors, i.e. quite often, i don't even open the lid. since the firmware update, i regularly get a light blue screen and nothing happens. i then have to restart it through the power button as well.

  • Intel Mini has problem with Mail/internet after firmware update (0.1)

    Hello there.
    I'm not sure, but I think my Intel Mini has gone bonkers after a firmware update (Mac mini-SMC-firmware-updater (1.0)
    What happend is, that connecting to (both of) my two Gmail and Tiscali accounts is not working anymore. (no connection through gate 995)
    I did not change anything in the accountsetup.
    But now I notice that even my torrents (oops) can't connect anymore.
    I think this all took place after the firmware update.
    On Dutch sites I do not seem to get any useable answers, so I thought it be wise to go a bit more international.
    Could anyone help me out on this one?
    Cheers.
    Marco

    Wizzard,
    Having the same problem here.  After updating the firmware the wireless connection to the network is unstable.  After rebooting the laptop most of the time I get "Low or no connectivity" message.  Sometimes it connects and dies after a few minutes.  And sometimes it connects and stays connected until shut down.
    What do you mean by "u have to reset it for 30 seconds and then reconfigure it"?  Do you mean you actually have to reset the router to default settings and reconfigure, or just power down and bring it back up?
    Thanks,
    Stas
