I've got a Mega Stick 128, i got it about 2months ago, i can't return it coz it was a present from my aunty in malaysia and i live in australia. now i recently formated by mistake with the windows formatting program, now it says media error. I went to the MSI website and then updated my firmware on it with the program, it now says LOCKED on the LCD when i turn it on. this then shuts down, i've tried updating the firmware even with both versions. i really annoying, i can't find an answer for this can you?

You need to give MSI support 24-92 hours for email replies and maybe longer if support in your country is currently overworked. also please check you have got the right email address at MSI- you need Tech Support not Sales.

HT1414 my daughter has iphone 3gs and it required an update , so i connected the iphone to itunes for update and the iphone locked up, I had to reset back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , what can i do

My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

SELECT FOR UPDATE with the SKIP LOCK clause

Hi,
I have a query regarding the SELECT FOR UPDATE with the SKIP LOCK clause.
Whether this will be really good for parallel processing.
Also if we are selecting a set of records in a cursor whether the lock will be done at the records level once we fetch the records?
Also do we have any known issues with this one?
We are trying to figure out whether this will fit for business requirement, we are trying to do a implement a threading kind of thing for our stored procedure invocation in background using shell script.
Any suggestion or feedback on this will be helpful for us.
Thanks a lot for the support given....
Regards,
Basil Abraham.

Mega Stick 128

Hi!
Last week i bought Mega stick128 MP3 and now I have a few problems with the connection to usb of my computer.
I have Windows XP Professional service Pack 1 with driver USB 2.0 but when I put the stick in the USB and I try to explore my folder all system stop and I to turn off the pen from usb port. I try also with my notebook with Windows2000 and I have not any problem, all is fantastic.
So I decide to install the driver for windows XP from your internet site, but nothing is change. The firmware of the stick is the last one 2.5 European.
Can you help me, I need a special patch or there is a no compatibility between the stick and windows XP professional.
I don’t think that is a problem of the stick because with windows 2000 I haven’t problem, but I don’t think also that is a problem of USB port of my computer because I use another flash stick without a problem.
Last information ,when the stick stop the message on the display in reading!
Please Help me
Thank you.

look, when you make these replies saying "nothing changed" will not help. what did you do, step by step, and what happened when you tried it? so you went to a comp in which the mega stick didn't hang windows. you right click formatted the mega stick "x" drive using fat or fat 16 (i used fat) and not fat 32. did you uncheck the quick format, or did you leave it checked? please explain yourself. how do i know if you understood what i was asking or if i even explained it well enough? either one has to be the case as you are the only one in which this technique has not worked for.

Backlight died on MSI Mega Stick 128

My backlight stops working!!!!!!! =\
Does anyone else has this problem ???????
i tried formatting it using the ulitlity software which came along, but it doesn't help.

Hi, I have the same problem, I am using the MSI Mega Stick 256 4 months, everything worked fine so far. Suddenly the backlight died, and it cannot be re-enabled. Could it be just a software problem (Is there a firmware upgrade available?) or should I return the product and require replacement?
Thanks.

Why after the new 5.1 update when the iPhone locks and sleeps the wifi goes what appears to be off and it 3G comes on?

After the new update 5.1 whenever the iPhone locks and sleeps it changes from wifi to 3G. Before the update whenever even in the lock screen the wifi bars were strong and seemed as if it's working even when the phones asleep. Now with the new 5.1 update in lock screen after the phones been asleep for a minute or two it shows 3G then like after 5 seconds or so the wifi comes on.

For some reason, today whenever I wake my phone from sleep the wifi seems to be running. A few days ago when I first posted the 3G would be on then a few seconds later it would change to wifi. Does this mean it's transferring data in my pocket all morning so far?

Mega Stick 1 - files present but no music

I'm using a mega stick 128 with windows 98 SE. Its been working fine but now, suddenly, when I format the stick and load it up with new music, the files appear in the device window and they will play from the mega stick on the computer but 'writing' does not appear when I transfer the files and 'no file' appears on the display. Anyone got any ideas?

Mega Stick version?

This may be a stupid question, but how do I check the version of my Mega Stick 128?
I need to know this so that I can check for Firmware upgrades

turn the stick on and press the black tuner button on the side of the stick (where you would normally rotate to change songs/stations). after you see the word "music" then slide that same knob to the left or right until you see "about". press it (not turn or rotate) and that will give you the firmware number and memory availible...

Zen is frozen, Reset doess nothing, recovery tool only updates firmware,

When I power up my zen it is frozen at the beginning of a song.
The only button that works is the power button.
reset does nothing
Downloading the rcovery tool, only updates firmware
the internal tool does not work, when I hold down Play/pause during boot, then release,
the zen goes straight to the frozen song.
I had tried to install and Audible.com book
Is that what did me in?
how do I fix this.
PS
Not pleased that the only support is email,
I sent 2 emails yesterday, and have yet to hear anything.
Thanks for helping!

I do not think that the Audible book download is to blame, because I use my ZENs also for Audible books.
When I first started to use my ZEN I also found that it froze on me, but then I took to carrying a paper clip with me and whenever the ZEN froze I just pushed the end of the paper clip into the little hole and the player would work again. Have you tried that yet?
I must say that my player seems to have recovered from this little hiccup and is not freezing up any more so that I do not have to use a paper clip.

Open jpegs from Premier CS3 in PhotoshopCS3 says locked file will not save to jpeg

When I open a jpeg or tiff, from Premiere to photoshop, and make some modifications (like simply mode to grayscale) and try to save it back to the jpeg it refuses, saying the file is locked and I should go to Explorer, properties and unlock. However the files are not locked in the properties, so my only choice is to save as another file, re-load it itno Premiere, and put it on the timeline. I used to be able to edit directly from Premier to Photoshop, and save - on CS3!
I have no clue what I might have done to cause this, except it is a fresh install of Master Suite on a fresh install of Vista Ultimate.
Any help appreciated.
Jack

I also realize that my saying, "that is the way it works for me," doesn't help you, since it doesn't work for you. Did it EVER work for you? YES IT DID, THAT IS WHAT IS PUZZLING, AND IN CS3 ALSO.
Couple of thoughts/questions:
Are you networked? YES, 2 WSIDE BY SIDE AND A THECUS RAID5 5 TERABYTE DATA BOS WHERE I KEEP MANY VIDEO AND STILLS. Are you logged in as an Administrator? I AM THE ONLY ADMINISTRATOR AND LOGGED IN AS SUCH. Are the Assets on internal (non-mapped) HDDs? IN FACT THE THECUS ACTS JUST LIKE ANOTHER INTERNAL HARD DRIVE, NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE. I'M NOT MUCH OF A COMPUTER PERSON, SO NOT EVEN SURE WHAT MAPPED MEANS, BUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO EDIT FROM PREMIERE BY SIMPLY CLICKING ON EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP, AND THE ASSETS WERE STORED ON THE THECUS, FIXES CAME BACK DIRECTLY TO PREMIERE. NOW THE SAY 'LOCKED' Any on external, or mapped-network HDDs? Are the Assets coming off of some media like CD, or DVD, and not first being transferred to internal HDDs? ALL ASSETS ARE ON INTERNAL DRIVES. I'VE TRANSFERRED SOME MEDIA TO THE SCRATCH DISC INTERNAL DRIVE AND GET THE SAME RESULT. If they originate FROM CD/DVD, are you making sure that they are not listed as Read Only, after copying? ALL I HAVE CHECKED HAVE NO CHECK ON READ ONLY. NONE ARE RECENTLY BROUGHT IN, I HAVE NEARLY 30,000 PHOTOS SEVERAL TERABYTES OF VIDEO. Windows likes to flag them that way, and it can bite you later. Anyone else on your network using these Assets? Are you using them in AE, AI, InDesign, etc., while also using them in Premiere/PS? I ONLY HAVE PREMIERE AND PHOTOSHOP OPEN, I EVEN CLOSED DOWN BRIDGE. Last, do you have Indexing turned on for any of your HDDs, as Windows loves to "lock" files, while it does its indexing. I turn this off for ALL HDDs, especially for my large externals. (Sometimes, when I move the external HDDs from workstation to workstation, XP will turn Indexing back on, and I have to disable this - happens about 10% of the time.) I HAVE RECENTLY INSTALLED COPERNIC TO DO SEARCHING, VISTA IS NOT FINDING THINGS WELL ENOUGH, IT MIGHT BE THE INDEXING, I'LL TRY THAT WHEN I GET BACK THIS AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR THE TIPS AND 20 QUESTIONS. THIS IS THE KIND OF HELP THAT THEY MEAN ABOUT RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS, THANKS
AND PARDON THE CAPS
JACK
"Locking" is usually tied into permissions. That's why I ask about the networking aspects.
Wish I had a quick fix for you.

MEGA STICK 520 Firmware update?

Hi, well I´been searching and reading this forum for quite some time and I haven´t found answers to this questions and I though that maybe someone did, so here it is:
I own a MEGA STICK 520 and I found a firmware update MS5520v0.2.0_FW.zip (2005-8-17) but I want to know exactly what does it changes, so if someone did the update, what does it do? And did you have any problems installing it? because I´ve read too many threads about players dying or allmost.
Is it the first firmware update? cause aparently for what i´ve read a lot of firmware with problems were solved with new versions.
Thanks in advance,
Bherno
Ps: sorry for my english, i´m from argentina. and please don´t answer me "just do it man!", because it cost me a lot of money and i can´t afford to kill it. I have two good reasons for doing the update, it´s really annoying that the player starts reproducing an album in the middle when it is prefectly organiced (in fact if you go manually to the first track it will play perfectly fine), and that the volume increases exponentialy.

The latest firmware feature is more little bug, thus please update the latest F/W (v0.2.0)!!
Update items is as follows:
1. Fixed bug: When manage “playlist” and power off, after power on “playlist” will be disorder.
2. Fixed bug: The file name will be cut under “playlist” mode.
3. Fixed bug: When didn’t use a long time, the screen wasn’t display.
Please do according to firmware update procedure of the following:
Mega stick firmware update process:
1. Please download and install the latest firmware and driver!!(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/ia/ia/pro_ia_detail.php?UID=605)
2. After firmware unzipping, it will show some files, please replace driver installation files (C:\Program Files\MSI\MS-5520)
3. Please press sustained “play key” first (While mega stick can't be recognized by PC please add this procedure), then plug your mega stick 520 in your PC.
4. Please go to "start" (below left corner) and enter "programs" and choose "MSI MS-5520" update now!!!
5. As you update firmware that you can select "format data area" and after update success, you can release of your finger. (While mega stick can't be recognized by PC please add this procedure)
Please note: While mega player can't be recognized by PC, please don’t put battery with update firmware.
Hope to solve your doubt!!

Sometimes it's better to read the entries here first, before posting *g*.
Solution is very easy. Remove battery from Mega-Stick. Connect to USB while holding the PLAY-Button. Windows will find now a device called like recoverybla. Install the driver from the original MSI-CD. Now you can do a upgrade with a new firmware ... And ... it works ...
