Making the most of the Zen Micro sound qual

Recently got a Zen Micro, first thing i realise - AMAZING sound quality!
If you want to make the most of this great little player, use WMA (If possible Version 9 or 0) @ 92 Kbps (however this does has a large effect on battery life), configure the custom EQ and perhaps buy some new earphones (I own some Sennheiser Mx500's - FANTASTIC sound quality).
Hope this has been of some help!!

Even better, use LAME encoded VBR MP3s and some Sony EX5/7 canal phones

Grab the plug-in posted here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
That should get everything working as expected on Yosemite.

Is there a head-to-head comparision of MF and IE, the most recent the better.

I need a head-to-head feature-by-feature comparison of Firefox and MS IE. The most recent the better, but I can take an older Firefox and IE10. I need this by Wed 04/30, so please help!!!!

The most of the application doesn't work in yosemite

Hi,
Since yesterday i have problem for open the most of the Applications in Yosemite...only someone of them still working.....
They only jump...and jump...and jump....but nothing....
Was already happen one time and especially when i switch off completely my Laptop....but after i couple of reset everything was coming another time normal....

The system is heavily modified by third-party software. Each such configuration is unique and unpredictable. I can only guess which of the many modifications may be contributing to the problem. As a start toward solving it, I suggest the following steps.
A
The battery is due for replacement, and there may be other hardware problems.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
B
Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
C
Back up all data.
Run the following command in the same way as before. It moves to the Trash "semaphore" files that have not been cleaned up by the system and may be interfering with normal operation. The files are empty; they contain no data. There will be no output this time.
find L*/{Con*/*/Data/L*/,}Pref* -type f -size 0c -name *.plist.??????? -exec mv {} .Trash/ \; 2>&-
Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash.
D
This procedure will delete certain temporary and cache files. The files are automatically generated and don't contain any of your data. Occasionally they can become corrupt and cause problems such as yours.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/var/folders/96
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with a subfolder named "96" selected. Move that subfolder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
E
None of the following system modifications serves any real purpose, and any or all could be contributing to the problem:
    WD SmartWare
I suggest you remove them unconditionally.
These system modifications may do something useful to you, but could be causing instability or poor performance:
    Arturia Software Center
    Boom
    ControllerMate
    PACE Eden
    VirtualBox
If you want to keep them, do a trial removal to find out whether they're at fault, and refer to the developers for support if they are.
F
The symbol cache file is very large. It stores data used in logs and crash reports, and it may have grown because there have been a lot of crashes. The file is created automatically, and if deleted, it should be recreated when you restart the computer. Initially, at least, it will be a lot smaller.
I've seen one unverified report that a system became unbootable when the cache was deleted. That would have been due to a corrupt installation of OS X, but you should be prepared to reinstall if necessary. There is no reason to panic as long as you have good backups, which you should already have if you got this far.
Enter the following command in the same way as before:
sudo mv /S*/*/Caches/com.apple.coresymbolicationd /tmp/
Restart the computer.
G
Please back up all data, then open the iCloud pane in System Preferences. If the box marked iCloud Drive is checked, uncheck it and confirm. Your iCloud documents should be preserved on Apple's servers.
Test to see whether there's an improvement, then re-check the box and test again. It may take a noticeable amount of time for your iCloud Drive documents to resynchronize.

Question about the new battery for zen micro/ zen microph

i just reacently noticed that creative has a new bettery the?Li-Ion Battery (830mAh) for ZEN MICROPHOTO/ ZEN MICR0 on there website they say it gives longer battery lifeand i was wondering how true this could be because i would like to get more than 6 to 8 hours out of my zen micro

The Zen MicroPhoto uses more power than the Zen Micro would, so it has a better battery. But you can use this battery with the Zen Micro and it should last longer than your original battery.

Can I use the battery from 4gb Zen Micro Photo in the 8gb Zen Micro Pho

Can I use the 3.7V Li-ion Polymer Battery 680mAh in my 8gb Zen Microphoto? The 8gb came with a 3.7V Lithium Ion Battery 830mAh.

rrochlis,
The mAh is a measure of a battery's total capacity. The higher the number (ex. 600 mAh, ,500 mAh) the more charge the battery can hold and usually, the longer a battery will last under a certain load. If you're going to use a lower mAh battery, you will get shorter playback time.

Where can I buy the best skin for Zen Micro with armba

Most of the skins I see on ebay that are brand names do not have cutouts for an armband
all the ones that do look like cheap ones
I already bought one from Radioshack by "Soundkase", the silicon material was crap: ripped in the first 0 minutes, attracts dust like crazy, and doesnt fit the player snugly
thanks for any help

esr26,
You should still be within the warranty for parts(that's 2 months if you bought the player in the US.) but you may need to pay for some labour charges if I'm not wrong. Perhaps you should contact Customer Support first and see if they can assist you further.

Since my last softwareupdate the most of the funktions of the JBL remote control from the micro docking station doesn't work

have you ever heard about the problem, that the remote control auf the JBL micro docking station doesn't work since the softwareupdate from ipod touch 4. gerneration?

Have you went to the manufacturer's support site or contacted the manufacturer?

Making the most of the JSF lifecycle

I have read through some documenation for the JSF lifecycle, I am wondering though how you would really take advantage of it?
One of the purposes of JSF was to insulate the developer from having too know much about HTTP. However, how much do they really need to know about JSF lifecycle and what cool things are there that really show the usefullness of this lifecycle being exposed?
Thanks.

The phases of the lifecycle are just how JSF ticks; they are not there to make your life easier, they are a design choice you have to know about and have to know how to design around. Not knowing about them is eventually going to lead to unexpected behavior caused by wrong assumptions.
One of the purposes of JSF was to insulate the developer from having too know much about HTTP. Utter nonsense, IMO. To use JSF, you should be incredibly familiar with HTTP, HTML and Javascript. Sticking your head in the sand and not taking the time to know the very foundation you are working on is going to make you step in a pothole and hurt yourself badly sooner rather than later.
Of course, that does not stop people from trying. If you want to meet them, they regularly post "how do I do this", "why does this happen" and "bug in JSF?" questions right here in this forum.
However, how much do they really need to know about JSF lifecycleKnow what each phase of the lifecycle does and in which order they are executed. Know when a phase will be skipped. That is in my opinion what you should know to avoid the gotchas.
and what cool things are there that really show the usefullness of this lifecycle being exposed?See previous statements.

[Zen Micro] Sounds Very Fu

I recently upgraded the firmware of my new Zen Micro to the most recent version (can't recall it at the moment.) Before I upgraded, everything was fine -- perfect sound, perfect everything. But after I upgraded, I noticed that the sound isn't clear at all. It sounds EXTREMELY fuzzy -- to the point where you can just barely hear the artist.
Is it possible this has to do with the upgrade? Or is it a hardware issue, and this is a complete coincidence?
Something (the battery, or headphone jack) is extremely sensiti've. I can't touch my MP3 player at times without having it screw up...
Thanks in advance!
AuveeMessage Edited by auveeb on -09-2005 03:45 AM

Sounds like the headphone socket has failed. It's not unknown for this to happen with the older Zen Micros. Assuming you're under warranty contact support to get a replacement (click the Support > Contact Customer Support link on this page).

Zen Micro sound quality (vs i-riv

I noticed that the equalizer setting of my zen micro pales incomparison with my i-ri'ver flash mp3. from what i read on the internet, creative should have better technical audio qualities vs i-ri'ver, but the i-ri'ver's sound settings seems to beat my micro big time. i hope people from creative do something about the sound options on the next firmware (THIS should have been a priority when Creative released the new firmware, together with the issues of the BACK BUTTON. anyways...
. can someone tell me whats the best custom equalizer settings you can make? im currently using new age with smart volume turned off
2. whats the smart volume suppose to do? turning it on seems to make the sound coming out from my micro like the sound just jame from a hallow plastic container
peace out

. Well at least the Micro has a custom EQ setting. Many other players only offer presets. I don't think anyone else can tell you what the "best" EQ is for you. You'll have to experiment. My personal feeling is that you shouldn't need any EQ if you have good enough headphones.
2. The smart volume makes it so all your files play at the same volume level. If you don't need this, it's best to leave it off as it will consume more power from your battery.

Zen micro - sound quality/dodgy connect

I'm on my second Zen micro since xmas (first one didn't work the first time I used it) and having only had it for month, I'm now having problems with the headphone connection. The sound is crackly, and often the only comes through one earpiece. When you touch the connection point, it affects the sound. It's NOT a problem with the headphones, as i've tried different pairs - so it must be the socket. My friend who also got a new one at xmas, is having exactly the same probs (she's on her 2nd one too!).
Is anyone having similar problems, and has anyone got any solutions? Please?!!! I'm really don't want to have to exchange it again...
thanks

Yeah this happened to me too. I'm on my third and the fourth will be on it's way. I know Creative has had problems with headphone jack connections on other players before. I guess they didn't learn their lesson. :smileyindifferent: Sucks for us

Zen Micro Sound Cut

I was listening to my Zen Micro and got the headphone cord caught on something and walked away. My sound quality is now not clear and the vocals cut in and out.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I purchased my Zen in the middle of July, but I don't believe the warrenty would cover this.
Please let me know what I should do! Thank you

yes, i'll tell you what happened, the headphone jack broke, its ok though this "wear and tear" is normal on the Zen Micro. When Creative designed the Micro they failed to properly reinforce the headphone jack In case you you haven't noticed theres a huge topic on the headphone jack problem located somewhere in the Forum. i suggest that you exchange your micro for a new one before your 90day warranty runs out.
good luck

Zen Micro Sound Def

I have a black zen micro I purchased about a month and a half back and whenever I plays songs the volume changes by itself(The hold button is on) and the singers voice on the track doesn't play at times and all I hear is the instrumentals. Is there anyway to get around this problem, how can I fix it's

Pulkman: Have you tried wiggling the headphone plug, albeit do it gently. Also try rotating the headphone plug in the socket. If it distorts when doing this it sounds like the headphone socket is faulty.
You should also make sure the EQ and Smart Volume are turned off.

Zen Micro sound prob

I bought a zen micro 5gb for my son for xmas and returned it because the sound keeps cutting out on the headphones. They replaced it and I am sending this one back with the same problem. Have tried different headphones but it must be the insert on the machine itself. I sure would like to know how many complaints they have had on this because they told me this is doesn't seem to be a problem. I will get my money back if the next one doesn't last.

Yeah, Tech Support number is a toll call no matter what ( probably to discourage too many people from calling) If you wanna try and use other sets of headphones to make sure it's the headphone jack and not just the phones themselves. If the problem persists I'd then contact Creative Support. I know in the US the support e-mail takes about -2 business days to respond to an email. The whole process of getting an RMA can take up to a week.
