Need help with using Zen V Plus in a

I have a Zen V plus 2GB and I'd like to use it in my car with a FM transmitter/charger combination. The one I bought says it works with Creative zen MP3 players, but will not charge the player even though it has a USB with 5 VDC as output. It does play the player through the FM reciever just fine. I also noticed that I can only charge the player through the very same USB port on my computer where I first connected it when I was setting it up. Any other of the USB ports will not charge the player. Does this have something to do with this problem?

Hello al9spike,
Welcome to Creative forums!
I'm not sure when you said "reset and play while plugged in" is the same as resetting the device by inserting a paper clip in the reset hole while plugged in. If not, then you can try this. There is a also a similar thread here with the same problem your experiencing right now. Maybe this could help you. Otherwise, if the unit is still not turning on, I suggest you contact support for further assistance.
Best of luck,

Need Help with my ZEN MX

Need Help with my ZEN MX9<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans">Hi folks. On my computer I have about 9G of different music, or 52 albums. I can't figure out how to get that music on to the player. To correct myself, I mean I know how to physically/logically copy it over to my player. All of that music is also?on the player in "Music" folder. I have this "Creative Centrale" installed and working. I need step-by-step instructions on how to create a PLAYLIST (I'm guessing), and have the?player play song after song in an album, not randomize the play. I think that is why I created that playlist. Thank You folks For Your Help?
<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3"><font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3">?

I guess you have a problem with the inability of mx to play folders. i have used folders as playlists since i got my first computer since i just want to throw the folder with the files over to another media for playing. Not to be able to play tis is truly annoying.

Need help with using Solaris FLAR across disparate platforms

All,
I need help with what needs to be done to use solaris Flash for disaster recovery between the disparate Server platforms listed below.
I am concerned about the platform specific files that would be missing?

jds2n,
Is it possible to get around installing the Entire Distribution + OEM and include only the platform specific files?
Just a thought
Example:
I would like to create a Flash Archive of a E2900 server which i plan to use to recover a 6900.
The 2900 was installed with a developer cluster.
When creating the Flash archive of the 2900 is it possible to add the 6900 platform specific files and drivers
from the Solaris CD?
Thanks

I need help with my Zen Vision M.. PLEASE HELP

Hey, I'm having sooo much trouble with my Zen Vision M... so i was wondering if anyone could help me out.. i hav a couple of ?s that i desperately need answered. . All of my album art is the same and its driving me crazy. How do i change the album art?2. Is the battery in the Vision M removable?3. Can Zen Vision M shuffle songs?4. I used to have an Ipod.. i was wondering if?i could directly transfer songs from itunes to Zen MediaSource?~~~~~~~~~?Any help will be really helpful! Especially if?someone can help me with the album art!! THANKS GUYS!!

. All of my album art is the same and its driving me crazy. How do i change the album art???Not an easy answer for this one without knowing more about how you are setting the album art.
There are two types of album art embedding.
One is where the album art is embedded directly in the tags of every Mp3 file. (a bit waste of space)? The second option (which is the more common method) is where each file has embeded information pointing to an external image for the album art. This is more efficient on space, and is often the one that end up with people having the same art on every song.
Usually what happens is people put the songs in a common directory and not in subdirectories such as Artist/Album/mysong.mp3. With all the files in one flat directory often the album art (depending on software) gets saved with the same filename such at album.jpg.
And he album.jpg file gets overwritten, and since all the songs think "their" album art is in the album.jpg file they all end up with the same art being displayed.
Easiest solution is to copy the files into folders to organize them by album, and then reapply the album art.
Since doing that on my ZVM I haven't had any problems with art getting lost or duplicated in ways I did not want. ?2. Is the battery in the Vision M removable???Unfortunatly it isn't.
?3. Can Zen Vision M shuffle songs???There are several random play options for music.
In my opinion doesn't really feal that "random" though. 4. I used to have an Ipod.. i was wondering if?i could directly transfer songs from itunes to Zen MediaSource??You will need to export them to MP3 from itunes. Checkout the Creative KB on how to do it. Its solution ID 4653.

I Need Help With My Zen Vision M 30GB Player ASAP

Tonight i had started deleting of my music folders on my creative zen vision m 30gb player and as it was doing that i accidently disconnected the usb cable from the player. After that the player was froze on the docking mode and i hit the reset button with a paper clip. Then after that for some strange reason my computer does not detect my zen vision m player as being connected to the computer. the docked screen appears on my player but the arrows keep spinning and my pc keeps saying found new hardware mtp device and does nothing but repeat that over and over again. I run windows xp pro service pack 2 with windows media player installed. I really need help asap to resolve this issue and have my pc reconize it normal again where i can access my music folders and playlists again.

The core problem is related to Microsoft Windows Media . To resolve the issue, you need to uninstall MWM v from the Add/Remove Programs. Then it will rollback to MWM v9. Unplug the player from the USB port. Reinstall the supplied software from Creative if you need too. Reboot, plug the device into the USB port. Reinstall the device driver for the MP3 player. Reload the latest firmware. The file can be downloaded at

Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Windows XP on the PC

Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

NEED HELP WITH USING STATIC METHOD - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

I am trying to set a value on a class using a static method. I have defined a servlet attribute (let's call it myAttribute) on my webserver. I have a serlvet (let's call it myServlet) that has an init() method. I have modified this init() method to retrieve the attribute value (myAttribute). I need to make this attribute value accessible in another class (let's call it myOtherClass), so my question revolves around not knowing how to set this attribute value on my other class using a static method (let's call it setMyStuff()). I want to be able to make a call to the static method setMyStuff() with the value of my servlet attribute. I dont know enough about static member variables and methods. I need to know what to do in my init() method. I need to know what else I need to do in myServlet and also what all I need in the other class as well. I feel like a lot of my problems revolve around not knowing the proper syntax as well.
Please reply soon!!! Thanks in advance.

class a
private static String aa = "";
public static setVar (String var)
aa = var;
class b
public void init()
a.aa = "try";
public static void main(String b[])
b myB = new b ();
b.init();
hope this help;

Need help with using cd templates

I'm very new to Photoshop and trying to figure out how to use and edit templates for a 2 panel cd insert and the Tray Card template (back cover of the cd). I want to just use pictures for the 2 panel but the Tray card needs to just have a color or design background with text. I seem to have gotten a project started using the tray card template but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get going with it and add a color background and I'm assuming I'll need to use the layers function? If anyone has any advice or can help me get started, I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!

I need help with using Tags in mavericks.

When i tag a file(for example i tag it RED) than i go to the Finder and click on RED, i will not be shown any of the files or stuff i tag.
How do i solve this issue.
Your help would be gratefully appreaciated.

Hello Alfred. Thanks for reaching out. Yes, all the individual files are created -- whether 1 or 50. Here is the gist of my workflow
1. Find Finder items
This searches a specific folder for a PDF file (I previously placed the multi-page file I needed split into this folder)
I verified this step works
2. Rename Finder Items
This renames the PDF file from Step 1 to a specific name
I verified this step works
3. Get Specified Finder Items
This gets the file from Step 2.
I verified this step works
4. Split PDF
This splits the file from Step 3 to single-page files and places them on the desktop.
It replaces any similar named files on the Desktop.
I verified this step works
5. Launch Application
This step launch the Mail app
I verified this step works
6. Open Finder Items
This step should attach each file created in Step 4 in a separate email.
This is where a few emails are created and the workflow stops.
The original PDF file I am using has 9 sheets. I verified all 9 single-page files were created and placed on the Desktop. I also verified each file was a valid PDF file. The workflow created 6 emails with the first 6 single-page PDF files then stopped.
The error message I receive in Automator is:
Open finder items failed - 1 error
Mail.app Application can not open file /Users/myname/Desktop/filename-page7.pdf
After these steps, I get each file and move them to the trash. I haven't verified these steps as the workflow stops at Step 6.
This all worked fine in Mavericks but not in Yosemite.
Please let me know if you need any further info.
Best,
Aram

Need help with using graphics in swing components

Hi. I'm new to Java and trying to learn it while also developing an application for class this semester. I've been following online tutorials for about 2 months now, though, and so I'm not sure my question counts as a "new to Java" question any more as the code is quite long.
Here is the basic problem. I started coding the application as a basic awt Applet (starting at "Hello World") and about a month in realized that Swing components offer better buttons, panels, layouts, etc. So I converted the application, called BsfAp, to a new JApplet and started adding JPanels and JComponents with layout managers. My problem is, none of the buffered graphics run in any kind of JPanel, only the buttons do. I assume the buffered graphics are written straight to the JApplet top level container instead but I'm not entirely sure.
So as to not inundate the forum with code, the JApplet runs online at:
http://mason.gmu.edu/~dho2/files/sensor.html
The source code is also online at:
http://mason.gmu.edu/~dho2/files/BsfAp.java
What I would like to do is this - take everything in the GUI left of the tabbed button pane and put it into a JScrollPane so that I can use a larger grid size with map display I can scroll around. The grid size I would like to use is more like 700x1000 pixels, but I only want to display about 400x400 pixels of it at a time in the JScrollPane. Then I could also move this JScrollPane around with layout manager. I think this is possible, but I don't know how to do it.
I'm sure the code is not organized or optimized appropriately to those of you who use Java every day, but again I'm trying to learn it. ;-)
Thanks for any help or insight you could provide in this.
Matt

Couple of recs:
* Don't override paint and paint directly on the JApplet. Paint on a JPanel and override paintComponent.
* The simplest way to display a graphic is to put an image into an ImageIcon and show this in a JLabel. This can then easily go inside of the JScrollPane.
* You can also create a graphics JPanel that overrides the paintComponent, draw the image in that and show that inside of the JScrollPane.
* don't call paint() directly. Call repaint if you want the graphic to repaint.
Here's a trivial example quickly put together:
