Plz put this on Future ZEN Firmware Update!!!! (an invitation to make our ZEN the best it can
Quote: As I recall though, it's just a matter of putting the paper clip in and holding it until it comes on...right
Answer: No, not exactly .... it brings up a special boot-up menu screen.
To clean up your player's memory
Turn off your player. Press and hold play/pause key Continue to hold play/pause key until you perform Steps 3 and 4.
If you accidentally release the button, start the procedure again. Gently push the end of a thin object (like a pin or straightened paperclip) into the Reset hole. Slide the On/Off/Lock switch towards (the bottom) and hold until the display lights up. The Recovery Mode screen appears, and four menu items are shown: Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware and Reboot. To clean up your player's memory, select Clean Up. When the cleanup is complete, select Reboot. Your player restarts and starts rebuilding its music library. Caution! Selecting Reload Firmware erases your player's firmware. DO NOT select Reload Firmware unless you have downloaded a newer firmware version for your player, or have been advised to do so by Creative Customer Support
I cannot cut/paste the instructions exactly - see the user manual
I really like my ZEN 4Gb player the sound is really good compared with other players i had, the only weak points I see are these:
1.-When an mp3 without album, artist, title, etc, is synct to the ZEN it won't show up if it has no ID info, for an example if I sync a file with title and artist but no album, it will show up un the all songs menu and artist, but no in album menu. why can't you guys put a function for this, if there is no info on that particular slot in the IDtag can't the ZEN put that this info like unknow by default
example:
the file will have this info in the IDtag
Artist: Nine Days
Album:
Title: Absolutely
The ZEN will Displayed like this
Artist: Nine Days
Album: Unknown
Title: Absolutely
2.-Fix the issue when the file names get changed or cutted cause this cause to have multiple files of the same song, video, etc, and is relly anoying.
3.-bookmarks on video, would be really nice.
4.-audiobook section on music menu.
5.-audiobook exclude from all music list.
6.-audio config option on now playing screen menu
Don't think many people know this but WMP doesn't embed album art into your MP3s. So, that's likely the reason why some people have problems getting album art to show up on their ZEN. I use MediaMonkey to embed album art into my MP3s. So, even if you play your MP3s in another PC or transfer it to another player, you will always be able to see the album art. This brings up another feature I think other people would like to be included:
#2) A software to allow album art to be embedded into MP3s (to be included with the software pack).

Is anyone else having this issue? I would very much like to download the update because it address the issues I have been having with my iMac.
Don't shoot the messenger . From what I've seen on various forums you're not alone, so hopefully it will be addressed, hopefully sooner rather than later.
When I got my iMac at the end of 2009 I was affected by the dreaded flickering screen issue - took two firmware updates before it was finally sorted for the majority. -
After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit wait a bit and plug it back in? (basically a reboot)
I updated the firmware on the 2nd of this month. Everything was fine. About a week later internet speed began to be slow. I rebooted the modem and the speed was okay for awhile, then slow again. I'm wondering if it's the airport express. It didn't tell me to reboot at the end of the installation.

I'm getting this problem when trying to update my iphone 3gs it says that the iphone software could not be contacted and I went on youtube got some advise to go into my hard drive to fix the error I have nothing in my host file please help me if you can this is all new to me.
Read this: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
... oh I think it is a 3gs or a 3
This makes a difference. What does it say in Settings > General > About? -
We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth? If I run over the 10 mgs, the service either slows way down until it is reset on the first of the next month or I have to purchase additional bandwidth and it can get expensive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.If you only have a 10MB limit on the Internet connection you might as well not have Internet access and certainly should not attempt to stream anything.
If the limit is 10GB, then you will need to be careful with streaming as most video is 1-3GB for a one hour show. -

I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help
You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so. -
Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text. I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard. What is the remedy for this. If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.
I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
If you must go to an image format, try PNG. -
Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!
This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account. -
I have a Zen.
I've applied no updates to applications or firmware. I'm updating firmware today.
I read FAQ, it mention firmware update download newest version. Do newest version include previous firmware updates?
On another website I saw someone advise updating firmware with each version instead of only applying latest version. If I skip a version, only applying latest firmware version, would this not include previous features in past updates?
Any negati'ves from not updating firmware?
Should update only if bugs encountered?
Does new firmware disable player from turning off completely and instead go into a sleep mode which may wear down the battery more?Hi johnhezvig
Welcome to the forum
Whilst I appreciate what coachop94 says about firmware
I can tell you that I have always updated my three different
creative players without difficulty.
Quite often there are improvements made to the player as
a result.
I li've in Europe and recently upgraded my Zen 6gb player
to the new .2.03e firmware which definitely made the FM
radio better but more than anything the sound quality of all
music files was improved too.
Guess you make your choice!
Cheers

Attempted firmware update didn't work on Nomad Zen X
Hello everyone,
I'm writing because I attempted to update the firmware of my mp3 player so that it will work with windows xp. I saw two firmware updates available for my particular model so I downloaded the oldest first and started the process of upgrading. After runing the update it said it was going to restart the player. It restarted in Rescure Mode version .3 and whatever operating system WAS on the player is now gone. I'm not worried about the music that was on there because i have it backed up elsewhere. I am just looking to get the unit operational again. It does has full connectivity and when I plug it in to my system it gets recognized as just "storage media." When I try to run the firmware updates now again it says the player isn't connected. Any ideas on where to begin reconstructing my player and furthermore getting to a situation where media player doesn't go crazy every time the player is installed ?Not that anybody took the time to respond but I figured out that media player was the problem and when I attempted to install the drivers on a pc that had media player 0.

Dear Support Team,
I agreed to the Time Capsule 7.6.4 update today, but as it was completing, I received an error. It said to close the page and try again.
I use my Time Capsule as my Airport wireless router and now can't access the Time Capsule to re-upload the Firmware update.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Is there a way to resolve the problem?
Do I need to hardwire the Time Capsule? Then what?
Would really appreciate some help!!
Thanks everyone.Factory reset the TC and it should come back to life.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
As a rule .. wireless is not reliable enough for mission critical work like firmware upgrades.. (Heck I don't think it is reliable enough for backups).
Apple doesn't insist on wired connections.. some other manufacturers do.. and post warnings not to attempt it over wireless. Warnings inevitably read after the failed firmware update btw.. so perhaps Apple have decided to just save themselves the hassle.
I believe it is just good practice to use ethernet for any time that sitting on a branch.. whilst sawing it off (ie failure will kill any future access).. means you always use ethernet for any setting up of a wireless router.. but you see I am old.. with grey/white hair.. and too many dead modems and routers around me. -
I am sure most of you know how terrible the 7.6.3 firmware for the airpot express/extreme is. I was on the phone with Apple technical support and they had admitted there are issues with this lastest firmware and confirmed they are working on it. I know how well Apple fixes their issues however it has been over 6 months and nothing. Because of all these issues, I have had to roll back all my airport equipment to 7.6.1 mainly to use the Airplay feature. Is there any projection for a new update or is Apple just ignoring this issue!?
What problem are you having exactly? I have updated to 7.6.3 and AirPlay works just fine in fact better especially with iTunes. All my wireless devices show up as soon as they are turned on or in range.
Not trying to predict anything here, but if the firmware update IS defective software, Apple probably would've fixed it by now. -
I am having difficulties with my Time Capsule continually dropping.
Just wireless?
Do other devices stay up? Is it only the PC's that fail.. or anything else that can help us.
Has this always been a problem since you got the TC? Or was it only on the previous firmware and this latest one, 7.6.4?
How long have you owned the Gen4 TC?
Are you using SMB compatible names for wireless.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Different name for 5ghz...
And manually fixing the wireless channels. Just to see if those things help?? -
EFI firmware updated. Now fans on full all the time.
I updated the EFI firmware since Apple suggested it.
I have done the troubleshooting (turn off and unhook all the cables {for a week!}, open it up and reset the button) and have had no luck.
I called Apple and of course since I'm just out of warranty, I have to pay to have them tell me the same troubleshooting thing again.
I wish I could go back to the 'bad' firmware I had before, but cannot.
<Edited by Moderator>Glad it works now. Maybe firmware updates should be done with system stripped down, some voodoo there.
I had and saw a lot of problems with 10.5.1 and would never touch it, very flaky and unstable with some things and needed a dose of Disk Warrior even. I wouldn't even give it the dignity of calling it beta let alone release candidate, I'd go all the way back to 10.4.11. But still not certified for 10.5.4+ seems odd (10.5.4 is what the current retail DVD carries).
