Need new batteries installed on perfectly good non supported players.

Hello,
I loved my Creative Players with hard drives and have never been fond of Ipods. I was distressed that Ipods drove the Creative Hard Drive players out of existence and still love the ones I have.
When I logged into Creative Support to find an address to have new batteries installed -- I only got the message that these players were no longer supported.
Could someone suggest a reliable place to send my Zen Vision M and Zen Jukebox players to - to have new batteries installed.
I actually had purchased a battery online for the Jukebox but got cold feet when I started to take it apart to install it. I was afraid I was going to damage the player.
I see no reason to give up on these perfectly good MPs players just because the batterys are dead.
Thanks for reading. Hope someone can help

Hello again sdl,
Well, I can perfectly understand your frustration as I've had similar experiences with perfectly-good products that cannot be used for whatever reasons. Guess that's what happens to all electronics products.
Now even though the batteries may be replaced, these products have already been out in the market for a very long time. Providing support for such products does not make economical sense for both Creative as well as for customers like you as you end up paying even more for, either the repair/replacement or the battery itself. That cost usually ends up equal, if not more to a new player.
You are not alone in this dilemma, I assure you.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Need new batteries for BT Freestyle 2500.

I am looking new batteries for a BT Freestyle 2500 and was wondering if any rechargable AAA batteries would do for it or do I need specific batteries.

Any rechargeable AAA batteries with a capacity equal or greater than the originals.
So if they were 500ma/h then anything 500 or greater.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Which device needs new batteries

I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The bluetooth battery indicator is flashing. Which device needs a new battery? I haven't been able to figure this out.

Open up system preferences, click the Keyboard&Mouse icon, then click on Bluetooth.
That will give you a visual bar of each devices battery level so you can see which one is low. There may be other, possibly simpler ways of checking, but this will show you what you are looking for.

Installing Mavericks on a "non-supported" computer

I have a 2007 Mac Pro. I am stuck with 10.7.5.
Last month I downloaded GameAgent and ran it. According to the results, my Mac Pro will run Mavericks if I upgrade my video card.
Before I spend $250, does anyone know if it could possibly be this simple?
The Mac Pro meets the requirements for 64bit, available Ram, processor and speed, and # of cores (based on the Game Agent listed requirements.)
Does anyone have advice or opinion? Yeah, I can buy a new computer but would like to avoid that until I am out of school.
Thanks

I think you are probably right. I haven't seen any store that allows returns on boards, video or otherwise.
I am amazed at how well the computer runs now. I have had no issues with any apps I run (other than Safari!!!) and I update everything I use. Logic is the only app I use a lot that I have to run on my Macbook Pro only.

ITunes music for non-iTunes players?

hi, i see that this iTunes plus says that you can use the new type of music for other non-iTunes players? Basically I play a video game and that game has it where you can play MP3 files in the game. However it does not support traditional iTunes purchased files because of how they are incoded. Will the new iTunes plus files be able to be played in a regular MP3 player? or be converted so that they can be? buying from iTunes and not able to use the files in other programs besides iTunes is a huge turn off :/

If your player can play 256 kbps bitrate AAC files (which you can find out from the documentation that came with the player) then you will be able to listen to the new iTunes Plus tracks as-is.
If your player can handle AAC tracks but only up to 128 kbps (which is the case with my Blackberry phone, for instance) you can make a copy of the track with a reduced bitrate and listen to that on your player (and use the original higher-bitrate version on your computer or iPod, if you like).
And if your player can only handle mp3 files, you can create a copy in mp3 format that will work just fine.
These conversions to lower bitrate or to mp3 can be done very easily within iTunes.

TS1569 Having properly fitted new batteries to mouse and keyboard (wifi), the green led on both devices flash, however they do not match. What do I do? ( both were working perfectly until batteries needed replacing) Batteries replaced now they do not co

Having properly fitted new batteries to mouse and keyboard (wifi) and switched both devices on they do not match to either my computer or each other ( or both). I have had computer a couple of years and changed batteries before, this is the first time this has happened. Because the mouse does not connect, I cannot operate the computer. Any clues will be great fully received.

You are most welcome!
Sometimes a SMC reset fixes odd problems.

Wireless mouse does not work after installing new batteries

I have a PowerBook G4 and have been using a wireless mouse and keyboard. The batteries needed to be replaced in my mouse. I successfully installed new batteries. The mouse will turn on. The LED blinks. But the mouse is not functioning. I must use the finger pad on the machine. I double checked the battery installation and even set-up the mouse as a device again. When I turn the mouse off, I get a "connection" lost window on the screen. I have tried
clicking the mouse to re-establish connection with no luck.
Any suggestions?

I had the same problem today - go to the above URL and follw precisely the instructions - after you delete the current mouse settings from your bluetooth preferences - apparently you have to sometimes reinstall the mouse after changing batteries - however I changed them before and did not need to do this
hope this helps

First, ask in the forum for the program you are using
This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs
If you start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use

Second, do a complete scan with a good anti-virus program to be sure your computer is clean... I use Norton, there are others

I install 2 new batteries on 2 different Magic Mice, close the battery compartment securely but the indicator light does not even turn on.

I install 2 new batteries on 2 different Magic Mice, close the battery compartment securely but the indicator light does not even turn on.

If these are older mice, the battery compartment may be soiled by leakage from the previous batteries.
Remove the new batteries, thoroughly clean the terminal points inside the compartment, wipe over the new batteries, reinsert ... and try again. Note. Use only good quality batteries, Eneloop, Energiser, Apple or Duracell. Other batteries, particularly unbranded ones may be slightly too small in length.

Installed new batteries in my magic mouse. It tracks well but does not click.

MacBook Pro indicated that the batteries in the magic mouse needed to be replaced. New batteries were installed in the magic mouse. The pointer function works well, but the click function no longer works.

Hey in Sweden. I believe before you can install a new system on your new hd you will need to format it using Disk Utilities. You should be able to access the Disk Utilities program from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). You should now be able to install to your hearts content.

Hard Drive crash and replaced: need to re-install. License issue which we have all information demonstrating it is good. How to allow it???

We need to re-install and no matter how we try the message is buy a new one. We don't need a new one, just need to use our original one.

I think this probably needs a ticket submitted to support unless someone moderates here who can reset your license. I believe that your product was activated when your drive crashed and you obviously could not deactivate Adobe since the drive died. I have a similar but worse problem because mine is an upgrade and I do not have the original Adobe X license. Unless they have a way to take care of that type of situation, I may be out of luck. I am going to submit a request for help (probably be calling them on Monday to see if I am out of luck or not.
Good luck! I will be checking back to see if some kind person has a "for sure" solution to both of our woes.

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
You need much more RAM than that.

TS3048 My wireless keyboard does not turn on. Yes batteries are new and installed correctly

I don't know why my wireless keyboard is not working. I can't sign onto my computer. Installed new batteries and yes they are installed correctly. I'm wondering if maybe it doesn't work anymore. It's only a couple of years old!

Hi, Mike.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your keyboard is not functioning. Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this.
