Oh dear god..something terrible has happened to my zen sleek photo 2

i was downloading cds onto my, usually well behaved,?mp3 player (zen sleek photo 20gb) and something popped up saying it had to stop ripping. i took the cd out and put it back in and it still wouldnt work, i looked at my player and the docking symbol had dissapeared..its now just a blank screen, as if it was off, but the power button on the top is glowing blue?i keep being told that 'one of the usb devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows doesnt recognise it'..the zen media centre thingy doesnt?recognise it and?it deosnt show up on 'my compter' either...i've restarted the computer (didnt work), unplugged the usb, replugged it in (doesnt work), tried recharging it (doesnt work either!)?so i've basically?got an mp3 with blank screen that my pc doesnt recognise in anyway, but has a blue glowing button!?argh!?is it dead?has this ever happened to anyone elses? if?anyone has any ideas how to make it work again ill be the gratefullest thing ever!?

ok...i think i've fixed it! maybe... i cant work out how to delete this message though?technology is not my friend

  • Zen Sleek photo is great but has terrible softwa

    Ok, Im posting this for one reason. The software to edit,transfer, compile playlists, or do anything for the Zen Sleek Photo is horrible. It is very long and tedious to do one simple change. Don't get me wrong I love my Sleek Photo. its great. But editing songs and making playlists in the creative mediasource is really horrible. I had a Zen Micro and it had Creative Mediasource as well, but It was different. It allowed me to veiw all the tracks at once, or all the albums, or all the artists and showed them to me AS THE WOULD APPER IN THE PLAYER. The Sleek Photo has the folders of the music and it is really hard to keep track of your newly transfered music and maybe not yet correctly labeled stuff if you don't know it doesnt have an artist or something. I was hoping someone could help me out? tell me that im stupid and say there is a preference you can choose, or hey here is some third party software, it works great.
    That would be wonderful
    thanks

    No one at all?

  • Something bad has happened

    argh, well, I was just using epiphany, then all of a sudden it crashed, no worries I thought. So I tried to boot up Neverwinter Nights for a game, said it couldn't unpack module...hmmm. Rebooted and then gnome wouldn't come up properly. So I tried to edit my .xinitrc and it said couldn't write to swap file. But...everything works fine with root? I'm in gnome now as root :-s. So what has happened to my user? Any ideas?
    Can't do anything with my normal user now. Dunno how this happened.
    I had just installed flightgear as well....

  • If something were to happen to my Zen Micro

    well, was wondering if anything should happen to my zen micro that allows me to get it replaced by Creative(under warrenty), would Creative replace my Zen Micro with a Zen Micro Photo?
    Also, if they just replaced it with a regular zen micro, would they allow me to pick the color of my choice? I really want to get a Red or Silver one. The dark blue one i have is okay, but not the color i wanted in the first place, i just got it cuz all the other colors were sold out.

    From what others have said you can change the colour, but you need to check first with Support of course. I doubt they'll change it for a Photo.

  • Help!  Something freakish has happened to my audio output

    I have no clue what I've done, but suddenly I am only getting audio output from odd numbered tracks on my timeline.
    There is no problem with the source audio, it's fine, I checked it.
    What should be happening is that Track 1 (and all subsequent odd numbered tracks) come out of my left speaker, and Track 2 (and all even tracks) out of my right speaker. ie dual mono.
    Suddenly I'm getting Track 1/odd tracks out of both speakers, and Track 2/even tracks out of none.
    This is probably something hyper simple and obvious but I have no clue what it is. I even tried trashing the Prefs and fiddling with user settings. Changing User Prefs: Audio Output: Default Stereo Prefs (it's normally on a custom dal mono setting) makes no difference at all.
    Please please someone help because it is going to be an absolute nightmare only working from alternate tracks.
    Dual 2.5ghz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   4gb RAM, 250gb HD

    Thank you - I did check that - but it wasn't that. After rebooting and preferences trashing multiple times and even buying new speakers, I finally found out what it was.
    In the Apple System Preferences: Hardware: Sound: Output the Balance was set to left. I have absolutely no idea how this occurred, I didn't even know this setting existed and I hadn't accessed any system preferences for days. The sound "vanishing" happened mid-edit - one moment I was working on the timeline, the next half the sound had gone. I do have some memories of the speakers crackling, but I don't know if it was around the same time or not. The (old) speakers are working absolutely fine now the Balance is set back to the middle.
    So I can only assume there is some very very obscure key combination that I inadvertently pressed that changes the system audio output balance. Or another application such as iTunes messed with it. It remains a mystery, but thankfully things are back to normal!

  • I am afraid there is a phony site looking exactly like Mozilla. It keeps telling me to update. Each time something bad has happened. I could not get to Google.

    Over a period of several weeks I have been getting Fire Fox updates download requests. The first time looked strange, wanted me to download 3 extra things, 1 toolbar, other 2 I forgot. My computer developed so many problems, I had to spend TWELVE HOURS deleting 6 Trojans and 1 worm from the Registry. Next time I could not get to Google, spent hours reinstalling IE. Last time ruined G-Mail, IE spinning round and round, again reinstalling & System Restore. I have been clicking on what should show origin of update and a very authentic website looking like Mozilla comes up. What I don't like is it is insisting my default search engine be changed, among many other things. I tried to contact Support and ask questions thru it but could not get blank to submit. I am afraid to download anymore Fire Fox updates. I have had to spend hours on reinstalling, cleaning, etc. I finally got a blank to submit a question and typed basically what I have here. When I submitted it, it vanished and next page said "Service Unavailable." The pages look very detailed and authentic but I am afraid somebody has been able to duplicate a Mozilla web page. To get here this time I went to Programs in Control Panel and clicked on the hyperlink for Support. The page looks very much the same as the other but the text in the several windows (PC windows, etc,) is darker and smaller. I think I might have to uninstall FireFox but am not sure if I will be able to download it from the authentic website to reinstall it.

    Recalling, it definitely was a fake update notification because it had 3 things to install and Mozilla never sends that. The toolbar and some search engine and I don't recall the third, but that was the start of it all. Ever since I have been getting these update notifications. I took you guys advice and used a link provided and went to Fire Fox and downloaded an upgrade. I bookmarked that link and to be safe from now on I will only download it manually from there. It is too bad because for years Fire Fox has been automatically updating but it seems like these phony installers link to a computer and harass them. There was a Google redirect and even a G-mail interference. Next thing I have to do is use those malware and virus cleaners and try and remove any tag links that might be calling these fake update notices. Another one that I think caused trouble is an Adobe Flash Player update. Same thing, Adobe always updated automatically, then it started trying to add these things same as Fire Fox. Thanks everybody, at least I know better what to look out for.

  • Something Strange Has Happened

    Hello Forum
    Over the past few days and without (I believe) any help from a novice like myself, I have found that I cannot use Bold, Underlining and Spell Check in BT Yahoo Mail.  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium and version 11 of IE.
    Can anyone help an old codger get out of this annoying problem in easy to understand jargon?
    Any help will be gtreatly appreciated

    Hello IanSally -  I think without doubt that I qualify as an "old codger" so it is with considerable trepidation that I offer you my own experience.  I am not a novice user but I am no expert either and have only found out some things by long hours of triak and error.   Anyway, I too use Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11 and was having the exact same problem as you.  The solution in my case was to add yahoo.com to list of websites in the "Compatibility View" setting.  To do this, select TOOLS in the menu bar, then select "Compatibility View Settings" from the sub menu.  In the pop up box type in Yahoo.com where it says "add this website"  and click on the Addd button to the right.   Close the box and refresh your browser (press the F5 key)  and try creating a new email.  Hopefully like me you will find that Bold, italic, Underline , strikeout  and all the rest of the formatting thingys work. 
    I do hope you find this useful - if not please accept my apologies for wasting your time.
    If you have time maybe you would be good enough to let us know if it worked for you.
    Kind regards
    Gerry

  • What has happened to the export from Photo Stream option in iPhoto?

    Until very recently I was able to export items from Photo Stream in iPhoto my Mac. Abruptly this option seems to have disappeared, and is now greyed out. Anyone got any idea why? Thanks in anticipation?

    The borders and themes have been discontinued.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules

  • My apps will not download to ipad2 this is something that has just recently happened.Have switched the pad on and off holding buttons down but it makes no difference.Has anyone got the solution to this problem Thank you.

    My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
    Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.

    If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync.
