Looking for user critique of Zen Ne

Hello everyone,
I'm considering purchasing a Zen Neeon, and I want the real user critique, not the perfect description the company feeds you. I know that some of Creative's products (like the Zen Micro) have a boatload of issues, and I want to make sure the Neeon isn't one of them before I buy it. So questions I would like addressed:
. Are there any major issues that plague this product? Freezing, headphone jack problems, hard dri've, OS compatibility and music/data transfer, etc.
2. How is the battery life? I know it's not going to be the marvelous 8 hours the site says (64kbps is practically unlistenable) but I will I get decent battery life if my stuff is 28-256 kbps?
3. Is this thing pretty durable? I don't want a product that'll shatter the first time I bump it or something.
4. Do the features work pretty well? I want an MP3 player with FM Radio and Voice Recorder, and I want to make sure these features work properly.
5. Is the audio quality pretty good? I know 90db isn't pristine audio, but I want to make sure it sounds relati'vely good before I buy.
Thanks a lot you all, I really appreciate anyone who answers my questions. I'm leaving my Mp3 player choice in your hands.

I have had the mp3 player for... a bit now, <2 months though.
Living in UK, i had it shipped from Singapore. Took like 3 weeks (couriers fault), but came in one piece.
It arri'ved fully charged (great), and with everything it needed...
Prepare yourself for its size.
If the iPod Nano is Impossibly Small, this is very Improbably Small..
I have no scratches or anything on it yet.
The back is good, no greasy prints, but the front is liable to them. however, keep it in a pouch, its all good.
Main problems : Turn on Time.
Seriously, i am praying for a firmware upgrade to better this, but it is its main drawback.
The other main fault is navigation. The thumbwheel is easy enough to get used to, but you have to sort all your folders yourself, i just went for A, B, C.... etc, with subfolders containing maybe 20ish songs each. (as more than that may be hard to scroll through)..
The firmware doesnt like it if you have too many subfolders deep, such as F:/A/Artist/Album/Song.mp3 It wont read past /Artist/
So, put song.mp3 into the /Artist/ folder...
Its a pain... Again, hopefully Firmware upgrade can fix it.
I havent used it enough to tell you about the batterylife...
Its almost always on charge, on my pc....
Again, no scratches or anything, only thing to worry about is Greasy fingerprints!
the radio is a bit touch and go, but maybe as my house is granite.
The SNR is actually quoted as 98dB, which is the highest i have EVER seen for an mp3 player, definately better than any Apple product i have seen.
Even the Audigy soundcard series (best consumer sound in the world) has a peak SNR of 04dB.
My tracks are all 28kb/s, to fit most on that i can. With stock headphones, the quality is very listenable. Obviously, at 28 i have reduced quality a lot, but unless your a serious audiophile, you wont have any problems.
If you have the time to make playlists and appropriate folders, as well as wait for it to boot, then it is a definate buy.
The cost from Singapore for 5GB model was roughly ?00, which is about ?40 cheaper than any mp3 player of a similar size/quality.
I'd recommend it to everyone.

Looking For Site Critique

Hello Everyone,
Been a bit of a lurker for awhile now, and decided to finally join the boards. I've recently re-done my company website using iWeb, and was looking for some critique. It is hosted on the .Mac servers, but is forwarded with my own domain name.
www.comicdoses.com
I'd appreciate any and all criticism!
Thanks,
Maverycke

Also, your page names contain "%20"s, e.g.
http://web.mac.com/maverycke/iWeb/Comic%20Doses/Home.html
This can cause problems, particularly if you add a Slideshow to your site; as iWeb's Help viewer states:
Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point , question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.

Looking for Users but Terminal says No such file or directory

Hi I'm trying to delete something out of my DVD Studio Pro cache but when I look for the Library it has gone. I've tried calling it up in Terminal with 'chflags nohidden ~/Library' and it comes back with No such file or directory. Has anyone lost their library completely?
Thanks,
Des

Are you entering that command with the quotes? If so remove them. Also, use Go to folder (Cmd-shift-g) and enter just ~/Library. I bet everything is still there.

CATS: Looking for user exit / badi for transaction code CAT4/CATS_APPR_LITE

Hi,
I have a task here that needs to send external email to the employee's manager whenever the approver set the status from 'released for approval' to 'approve'.
which is status 20 to 30 in CATSDB-STATUS thru transaction code CAT4 or
CATS_APPR_LITE.
Can anyone give some help here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there are mainly three ways to trigger a workflow:
- linked to a change document, because in standard function module to write change documents a trigger for a workflow is pre-designed. With workflow-customizing you can activate an active trigger.
- linked to output messages. There is a medium 9, which is the workflow trigger.
- linked to status changes. Maybe not all status change functions include a pre-designed workflow trigger, but at least for status in table JEST it should be possible to make workflow-customizing to activate a trigger.
- 'manually' with a function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
It's also possible to define filters (e.g. only status = approved), so your example was perfectly fitting workflow possibilities. If no other option is fitting, have a look at above mentioned exit.
Then you still have the question, should you try to define a workflow or just create a mail by FM. There I can't help you, this depends more on your skills and time.
Regards,
Christian

Looking for user exit in PO outbound process.

HI all,
I am trying to deploy ALE scenario between two SAP systems.
Application is PO to SO conversion .
I have this Message at receiver End.
Hope some one can help ,
1)how should i specify ? these values(in my case it can
be constant values).
If i am not wrong i should go the MM06E001.
But under this i found few other modules.
Can you tell me, which is the include or module to place these values.
Thanks in Advance

Diagnosis
No sales organization, distribution channel or division were sent to the IDOC. This data is necessary if a sales order is to be added automatically. If this data is unavailable, you cannot create a sales order document.
Procedure
If data on the sales organization, distribution channel and division have not been entered in the IDOC, it must be determined using a user exit defined in the program.

Thanks Elisabet ,
 Wow, it really helped me.
 But now i have the Status code of 62

 Not a serious error(i guess), but certainly idoc has

Michael,
Is there any information you can give for your request? It is unclear if you are looking for a TestStand programmer or those who need a TestStand programmer. Or, perhaps there are other categories.

Looking for Thunderbolt 2 RAID Array options that can match the new Mac Pro's quietness -- or at least come close!

Maybe it is too early to talk about anything beyond the Pegasus2 Series (http://www.promise.com/promotion_page/promotion_page.aspx?region=en-global&rsn=1 00) when it comes to Tunderbolt 2 storage options. Looking for something on the order of 8 to 12 usable TB of redundant storage or possibly a JBOD option of 4 bays. This is coming close but I do not think it is Thunderbolt 2 (http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid-thunderbolt).
Either way -- looking for users experience not only on usable Thunderbolt 2 solutions but more importantly noisiness. I want to upgrade my existing Mac Pro to one of the new ones and I have found the old one to be nearly unnoticable in a quiet desktop environment. Would love to find the same peace and quiet when migrating to the new form factor that is going to need external storage to match what I have been used to inside the old Mac Pro.

Not your quiet storage, but then I would put it in a cool closet or small room off to the side :-)
http://www.macgurus.com/store/Item/ARC8050 ( I was assuming but maybe not, that it would support RAID6 which is always preferable for larger arrays. Seems to have most features you want for 8 drives). MacGurus "Burly" are never quiet but they are rugged and well tested.
Migrating storage will be a concern. I don't like the noise from my older SATA OWC dual-drive metal enclosure though suppose to be 'acceptable' unless they have improved the fans they are out for me.
OWC for Thunderbolt products.
Helios enclosure (the new dual-slot Helios PCIe chassis)
… moving various hard drives into Thunderbolt cases
USB3 hard drive enclosure.
For those without eSATA enclosures, a simple eSATA to USB3 adapter might do the trick.
USB3 is plenty fast to house two hard drives.
OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual.
Available now starting at about $430.
review of the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual.
Some upcoming new TB2 enclosures:

F4 / Help restriction for user ?

I have checked all the threads, not having suitable solution
I am looking for user to be restricted F4/help option, how this is possible.
I want to give user only the transactional entries for given tcodes and the same user never to get F4/Help option display.
Please help
Thank you in advance
Srihari

Hi Srihari,
I think your request is quite peculiar. I don't know any customizing, nor user exit, to restrict all these helps. For F1/F4, you could do a modification of the standard HELP_START function module, but I don't advise it as it is a central basis tool. For listbox fields, I only see the solution below.
Probably your best chance would be to use GuiXT (via transaction and screen variants of the SHD0 transaction) to redesign these screens, you can attach the transaction variants to a group of users.
There are also 2 other input helps that you might like to disable: input field history and SET/GET parameters.
What for, by the way?

New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files: Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written) than what you left behind. But that's your call.
There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums
