Player/Software Freezes at 100% complete and locks up my compu
I'm writing here for the first time to try and get an answer to my issue. I have already dealt with the firmware upgrade issue and that was really frustrating and this is at the same point. I have a 60 GB Zen Xtra MP3 player. I never had issues copying files to my MP3 player before, but recently it's become an issue. No matter what program I use and I have used Creative MediaSource Organizer, Windows Media Player or Real Player, I can't get my files to transfer. What happens is that everything starts off okay, the transfer file status moves fairly quickly, but once it hits 00%, it just hangs and doesn't totally complete the transfer. It ends up freezing up the program and I have to unplug my USB port from my player, otherwise it freezes my computer up and I end up having to shut it off manually.
I don't want to waste my time emailing Creative's customer support as they didn't help me the last time with the firmware upgrade issue, just sent me some generic email response asking about my warranty. I actually found the solution digging through all the posts, so I hope someone else who has experienced the same issue and has a solution that works, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
David
Well, thanks again for your attempts. I keep track of what is loading on my computer, especially at startup. I use the CCleaner program which enables you to either delete or stop any programs you choose at start up. Trust me, I have nothing running in the background when I'm doing this. My computer locks up ONLY when I attempt to copy MP3s from my computer to the player. This ONLY happens once the files status is at 00% and then and ONLY then, it locks up everything, unless I unplug my MP3 from computer, so it has to do with either the player or the software, I don't think it's a computer issue. Like I said before I never had issues until I downloaded and installed the new firmware for my player. Ever since I did that, I can't copy MP3s over to my player.
I think reinstalling windows is a bit drastic. I think this issue will be resolved by doing something you wouldn't even think of. It reminds me of the firmware upgrade. A lot of people had the same issue of their computer not recognizing the player and it was finally discovered to be because of Windows Media Player version conflicting with the firmware upgrade. This new firmware upgrade has caused nothing but trouble since I've installed it. I'm afraid of what else it may do. I know Creative is supposed to put a patch out for the firmware problem, but I haven't seen it yet. That may resolve the problem, but who knows.
So, if anyone has the same problem as me and finds a solution, I would love to know about it.
Thanks,
David

Can you install the needed Flash Player software onto a thumb drive?
I have a large desktop that needs the new Flash Player. However, I am in the country with only dialup. I can take my laptop to the library for fast Internet. Is it possible to download the needed flash player software onto a thumb drive and then transfer that to the desktop. I've downloaded the install file but it gives me no location choice when it begins the install. Working with windows 7 on both machines.
ThanksHi Ellen,
Yes, you can save the offline version of Flash Player onto a thumb drive and then copy/move it to a computer to install it. The version downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer is what we refer to the online installer. It's a shim installer that then downloads and installs Flash Player silently. The offline installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section. There are various installers for various browsers. You'll want to download the file(s) corresponding with the browser(rs) you use.

My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?
1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.

6288 music Player freezes and locks phone
My Nokia 6288 when I start the music player freezes. I goes into the music player says "starting music player" then freezes in that screen. I can press cancel to un freez it but that makes all the phones applications fail and then the phone will then turn off and not turn back on. The only way to reset it is to remove the battery. everything will then work until you try to start the music player again..
Had a simular problem, it got stable after a few trips to the Nokia service centre....

I can attach Full events if want. Is this problem comes due to an hardware or OS error? Pls help.
Thanks.I own two of the dv4-1275mx laptops. Both machines were purchased around June of 2009 from Best Buy, and both machines are doing the same thing as what has been described here. It appears that this model has a flaw, or certain production runs have this flaw. I have done an exhaustive amount of research about this problem and know quite a bit about it.
But, good luck getting HP's Customer No-Service department to actually fix the problem. If you try to get them to fix it, you are about to be taken for quite a ride. They have been absolutely no help in diagnosing the problem, and I am still trying to get them to acknowledge and fix the problem with these laptops.
The problem is with the hard disk controller. It happens both with the built-in hard disk drive and with an external disk drive. It occurs whenever you place a significant load on the disk controller. When the problem occurs, the machine will lock up for 60 seconds at a time. Eventually, the driver times out, resets the disk, and drive activity continues until it happens again.
Normally, the problem is very intermittent because normal usage of the machine doesn't always trigger this problem. However, I have been able to replicate the problem consistently using a backup program called Macrium Reflect (free edition). If I use Macrium Reflect to back up or restore the hard disk image using an external disk drive plugged into the eSATA port, then the ATAPI errors in the log appear immediately after it begins copying data. Eventually, the backup will fail.
The worst part about this is the data corruption. If the lock-up condition occurs when a disk write is happening, then the data being written will get corrupted and you will lose data. I have had disks that have gradually gotten so corrupted that they won't boot anymore. I have spent a countless number of hours backing up, restoring, and attempting to use the machine despite these problems.
After doing further research and testing, it appears that this type of problem is not uncommon to the AMD M780G / ATI Radeon 3200 chipset that these laptops use. If you search the Internet for this type of error, you will find a number of HP and Non-HP customers complaining about this same issue with this chipset on different machines. This leads me to believe that the problem might be with the chipset itself.
I have attempted to find a software remedy to the problem with no success. This included trying all of the following:
- Trying Windows Vista 64 with various configurations of service packs and updates.
- Using the Microsoft AHCI driver and the ATI-supplied AHCI driver for the Radeon 3200 series
- Using different BIOS revisions
- Trying to find a magic combination of AHCI driver and BIOS revision that would work
- Trying various settings for disk write caching
- Turning of DMA on the controller
- Uninstalling every piece of HP-supplied software that I could think of that might have even the slightest possibility of interfering with the hard disk controller
None of this worked. Eventually, I concluded that this is a hardware problem that isn't going to get fixed through software.
Sadly, after doing all of this research, HP has not been helpful with getting this problem fixed. In the past, I have owned laptops from Dell and Toshiba, and while I know that no manufacturer is perfect, I have not had many issues getting prompt and reliable service from either of those two companies when I needed it. This is the first time I have purchased an HP laptop. And after the customer no-service experiences I have had, it is likely to be the last time I purchase an HP laptop.
HP's technical support seems to think that re-imaging the drive to reset the machine to factory defaults cures all problems. Over the phone, they have made me do this a couple of times, insisting that the problem is a result of a virus or something I installed on my machine.
Recently, I sent both of my laptops to them for service. To assist them, I included the details of all of the research that I had done. I gave them copies of this information both electronically, and included inside the box with the laptop. The information had details on the steps that I tried, and links to websites documenting problems with the M780G chipset. It also had details on how to replicate the problem with Macrium Reflect. I even re-imaged the machine back to the factory image, and installed Macrium Reflect for their convenience. And what did HP's service department do? They re-imaged the hard drive again and sent it back to me without even bothering to run my test! This is just absolutely moronic. Either the service technician can't read, or the service technician just doesn't care about fixing customer problems!
My complaints about HP's service are as follows:
There is no sense of urgency about fixing problems. I have been enduring this issue for 9 months now. But no one seems to care.
It takes forever for them to turn around machines in their service department. With Dell, I used to have a working laptop in my hands in 5 days, tops. What's worse is that they ship the packages via FedEx Ground with signature confirmation. (If you work a normal day job, good luck trying to get your package from FedEx Ground, which is only open when I am at work.)
The telephone and online support personnel often don't listen to you, and the details of problems don't ever seem to be recorded anywhere. I have had to explain this problem over and over for various people who seemed almost completely ignorant about the problems I have been experiencing.
The technicians are not competent, even when you tell them what needs to be fixed.
As far as I am concerned, HP has not been honoring the warranty on my machines. This is has been frustrating beyond words. I am at the point where I just want two new laptops without this chipset, but I seriously doubt I will ever get that. To all of you who are experiencing the same issue as I am, I wish you the best of luck in getting HP to resolve this problem--you are going to need it! -
MyBook freezes and locks up iMac
Hello. My external HD (MyBook connected via USB 2.0) is freezing and locks up my iMac. I get the pinwheel and it requires a hard reboot -- not ideal. It seems to happen after waking from sleep. Any reason why this is happening and ideas on how it can be fixed?

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete
Hi All,
I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is
100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!Not a reply but another plea for help.
There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
-Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
-Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
-Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
-Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
-Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
-Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
-Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
-Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
-Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
-Reinstalled HP software from disc.
Still didn't work.
-Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
[But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.
Hrumph
Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
Thanks,

Windows 2000 SP4, 1g RAM, Firefox 9.0.1
We keep IE6 and Firefox open simultaneously for 2 different mail accounts. Firefox was always much faster even with 3 or 4 tabs open, but for the past couple of weeks when trying to update a screen the CPU suddenly goes to 100% usage and of course nothing will move until the particular process is finished. Closing one or more tabs does not help. If I close Firefox completely with Task Manager CPU usage goes back down to nil. After restarting Firefox CPU usage may or may not go back up depending upon whether it tries to continue the previous task that was locking it up.
It did not do this with Firefox 3.6 but then again it didn't happen immediately after updating to 9.0.1 either.100% CPU usage occurred most often toward the end of the working day when busy trying to print on-line postage. We don't have any memory-consuming plugins but according to the knowledge base articles Firefox memory usage can gradually increase during the day even if you do nothing. It seems that may be the problem so we close and restart Firefox more often now as that usually fixes the problem. However, if we get stuck on a particular website update that causes the CPU to to go 100%, we can always start Firefox without previous tabs so the update will stop, or simply use a different browser until we have time to let the computer play games with itself.
So our workaround of restarting Firefox turns out to be the final solution (until we find something better - will post it if we do). Vic -

I have already swapped this phone out once for a new I phone 6. First one I was having same issues with.
Now I got the new one and it was good for about a month and now its doing it to but worse. It freezes completely.
Won't let any of my text messages get through to me. All my messages disappear completely and randomly come back when they feel like it.
This time its frozen where I can't even read any texts or get any texts and when I click on the messenger app it just goes to the NEW MESSAGE and won't let me get out of this screen. Should I once again take this back? or are all the iPhone 6's bad like this?It's not the iphones, it's more likely one or more of your programs causing this issue. It's not the iPhone 6's. The possibility of you getting 2 bad iphones from different batches is extremely remote or you have the worst luck on the planet. lol If one iPhone has it, then you get a new one and the same problem comes up again, it's most likely due to an issue with a program that you keep getting back from restoring an old backup. Restore the iphone again and set up as a new iphone. Then manually import your music and your photos. Once that's done, try to use your iphone to see if everything is ok. If it works good for a few days, then try to add some of the apps. At some point, you'll end up loading the malicious app and the problem may come back. Make sure that the apps are all updated. If you still have problems, call Apple so that they can run a diagnostic report and find out which app is causing this issue. Then you can simply delete it and/or update the app. More solutions are available but that's all I will post for now.

Aperture wont open and says "repairing library database" even when 100% complete it still wont open
my aperture won't open and says "repairing library database" even when it gets up to 100% complete it just suts there frozen and won't open to the aperture screen
How many Images? How much storage space does the Library occupy? Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive?
Ignore the progress bar — it's often stuck, and therefore unreliable.
Ignore Activity Monitor reporting Aperture "Not Responding". This is, imho, a bug Apple should have squashed years ago.
Repairing (or doing any operations an entire Library) a large Library can take hours or days. You did not report what you did to get past 79% — I'm going to guess you Force-quit Aperture. Force-quitting any database is always a bad idea and should only be done as a last resort. Each time you force quit, you are likely adding to your problem.
Restart the rebuild, and let it run, unmolested, for at least 40 hours. IME, at some point the progress bar with jump to 99%, then 100%, and then stay there for perhaps a few more hours, and then it finishes.
I have _never_ had a repair or a rebuild (I have not had to do many rebuilds) _not_ finish. One took about 82 hours, but it finished.
If your Library is small — say, fewer than 100,000 Images _and_ smaller than 100 GB — and you're seeing these very long rebuild times, you likely have an actual problem — but the only way I know to find out is to let the rebuild continue. (I don't store any but small video in Aperture, and very few of them, so my numbers may not correspond to Libraries that store videos.)
Did you notice any other problems before Aperture itself recommended rebuilding?
In short: let it run unmolested. -
I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Make a Genius Bar Reservation

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.
