Safest way to update the Zen Xtra's firmwa

I am running a Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra (earlier, non-PFS firmware) on an XP machine with Windows Media Player .
What is the safest way to update my player's firmware so that I can use PFS?

uynless you realy realy want the palys for sure firmware, or you need ti to work with vista you would be better off leaving it as it is.
if you must update the firmware do this:
back up everything on your player ( you should have a back up anyway ) going to the PFS 2.x.x firmware will completly wipe ( format) the hard disk.
go to control panel, then add/remove programmes, remove windows media player and windows media player runtime, it will 'rollback' to windows media player 0, re-boot your p.c.
check the add/remove porgammes again just to be sure that WMP and WMP runtime are not lurking..
Charge your Zen xtra, and leave it conected to the charger.
Download the firmware, and follow the on screen prompts, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

What is the safest way to update to ios8

Hey guys,
Just a quick one, What would be the safest way to update to ios8? connect it ti itunes and just hit restore? or connect it and click restore whole device and start from scratch.
Cheers.

They are both the same. But first I would make a backup to your computer before you click on that upgrade button. And, I would wait another day or two for the line to subside so you don't wait 10 hours for the download to complete.

FOTA remains the safer alternative as being incremental instead of replacing entire software when a period with no functioning OS upon device.

Is there a way to update the itunes match to reflect changes that i have made on my computer

Every time i update itunes match it looses my alterations to my playlists and undoes any alterations to any albums i have made. Is there a way to update the itunes match to reflect changes that i have made on my computer?(Only copies new playlists and reverts old playlists to the way they were the first time I uploaded them) Any star ratings for albums are lost too if I put a star rating on them AFTER I first upload them to ITunes match.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and Merry Christmas you guys!

HI
You don't need to select update iTunes match. It does not do what you expect!! You only need to make the changes and they will filter through to match naturally.

Strategies to keep the Zen Xtra cover from popping o

OK - I had heard that the Zen Xtra cover pops off easy before I bought it and thought it couldn't be all that bad
But it seems like all I have to do is touch my player sometimes and the cover pops off
I put a piece of tape on the latch on the bottom so I couldn't jostle it just as soon as I got it and saw what a hair trigger it was - but it seems like sometimes I just pick it up (maybe squeezing the sides a bit) and the cover pops off?
My refurbished Zen Xtra didn't come with a case - maybe that helps prevent the cover from popping?
Any other strategies or fixes from folks who have dealt with this irritating feature? (Sound quality wise I'm VERY happy with it... but I can see where this might continue to be a major annoyance over time)

Is there no way to update the "Default Lables" on all slides once I've changed it under the Preferences?

Is there no way to update the "Default Lables" on all slides once I've changed it under the Preferences?
I really don't want to recreate the slides from scratch again.

What about File, Export, Text Captions...? You'll have a Word document with two columns. Translate the second column (much easier in Word) and import again. That is the normal work flow for translation. Same is possible with XML instead of Word.

What is the safest way to browse the internet using iPhone 4s?

iPhone 4s
OK I love to use my iPhone to search the internet. I would say at least 50% of my time on the iPhone is doing just that.
When I search the internet using my iPhone, I like to use Google as my search engine.
I downloaded the Google app to use. I guess I always thought the Google app ran through the safari browser. My understanding is that safari is a safe browser particularly on the iPhone. But now I learn that by using the Google app, I am NOT going through the safari browser. My understanding is that the Google app goes directly to the Google servers. Ok
So when I look at my safari settings on the phone, I see that Google is the default browser.
So I guess story short, what is the safest way to browse the internet on my iPhone?
Using the Google app?
Using safari browser with Google as the search engine?

I'm not trying to be unkind but I think you're way overthinking the whole notion of safety on your iPhone. Unless you jailbreak it, you're not going to get viruses or malware, regardless of what browser you use. I generally use Chrome. If you use the Google search app (which I like very much, by the way), you're using its internal browser which, I suspect, is based on Chrome.
I remain unclear about what you're afraid is going to happen when you use the internet from you iPhone. Can the NSA track you? Sure. So does your mobile carrier. But they can both do that without you accesing the web. Can you stumble on a nefarious website that tries to trick you into giving up sensitive information? Sure. Again, you just have to use good judgement about who you give information to, just a you would in person. Browser doesn't matter. Can you still find really icky "adult' sites? Yup. But most of them require Flash to view the videos.
Relax, enjoy your phone. I suspect you're in more danger from Candy Crush (the average player spends almost $3 a DAY playing!!!) than anything you find through your browser.
Best of luck.

Is there a way to update the iOS on my Childs iPod touch without connecting to a pc? She has version 4.2.1

Is there a way to update the iOS on my Childs iPod touch without connecting to a pc? She has version 4.2.1

No.
Also, do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
If you have a 3G or later iPod:

Is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?

Hi,
with reference to the below link i have some queries
Re: is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?
i din understand the below point mentioned in the thread
You see this option is changes sales order(VA02), item pricing, update tab at the bottom.
can u pls explain ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First of all it is not at all possible that you have added something to user exit for sales order and that is affecting billing.
While billing try
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP
instead of USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK.
Also, you need to sit with the SD functional person to check and decide upon what config is to be adopted in copy controls for pricing type. In case you wish to do everything through the user exit then std controls need to be set in a way that whatever is in sales order should come up in billing, inclusive of manual conditions unchanged.
In case of short dump issues, the code is not written at the right place. Before your code write
break-point
which will give you an idea of what is happening at runtime while creating billing document in debugging mode.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Amit

What is the best way to update the delivery time?

Hi All,
One of the tasks I have in my job is to updste purchase orders with information found in the orderconfirmation we receive. In the order screen, ME22N, you can change the date in the item, where you have all positions listed. But you can also change it in the tab classifications.
What is the best way to update the delivery time?
Best Regards
Praveen

Hi
It may userfull to you
If you change the delivery date after you have send the PO, then the statistical delivery date is still containing the old delivery date., as long the order is not send this date is changed together with the delivery date.
Vendor evaluation is performed based on statistical delivery date.
So if you are responsible for a date change, then you change both dates, that the vendor does not get bad points. but if the vendor cannot deliver at the wished dates, then you change the delivery date only, that all people in your company and MRP run can rely on the new delivery date, but your vendor is evaluated against the old date, because of his fault.

Safest Way to Clean the Vents

Hi,
Just curious, whats the safest way to clean the vent on the Macbook 13".
I've been told to just use compressed air, but is there a certain method to do it?
Is there a danger of "overspin", in regards to the fan on the inside (being that we can't hold the fan down while we're cleaning it)?
I've also been told to use a static free vacuum.
Which way is the safest, or most recommended?

I use canned air because it allows the dust to be blown back out the vent. I start a† one side with the extension tube that comes with the can and then run it across the length of the vent. I ave never had a problem with the fan. I don't do it for a long period on the fans area.
A vacuum will not yield the same results. You will clean the vent and a small area inside the vent. A vacuum works best when you can get inside and do it properly.

How Come on the zen xtra

How come on the zen xtra there is no "top 25 played" playslit or anything like that. i was recently playing around with a micro and i saw that there were playlist like that on the player. Can anyone answer that question for me?

I have been experiencing some extraordinary behavior with my Xtra. It seems to be deliberately choosing music for me based on genre, title info, even subject matter, when I randomize all tracks. This is no joke! The **bleep** thing knows my music better than I do, and some of the time it seems to be making fun, or even historical points, with some of my musical tracks. This could be a coincidence but with 5000 tracks representing every musical genre known it isn't likely. Could the firmware be capable of making these decisions based on track-tagging? I don't know. But it has made for some very interesting listening sessions.

Cases for the Zen Xtra and which online servi

I just bought a Zen Xtra 30 GB and would like to get some safe way of carrying it when I jog. Either a fanny pack or arm band. Has anyone seen these. If so where? Also what online services work with this device. I saw Napster works directly with the micro.

I've not seen either specifically for the Zen, but I'm sure you can get a generic belt based case from something like a camera shop. Or use a case e.g. Vaja, that has a belt connector.
Currently the Xtra will support any service that uses normal WMA DRM (or of course the very few that use MP3). It won't support PlayForSure (and Janus DRM) yet, but a new firmware is supposed to bring this. See the FAQ.

Installing the Zen Xtra (30

I installed the Creative Media Source before plugging my Zen XTRA and my computer says it has found new hardware, I am then prompted to install the new hardware, I accept and it searches but then says it cannot find the necessary software. I installed all updates to my OS but it still can't install.

You mentioned that you installed MediaSource, but did you install the drivers too? (Found on the installation cd OR from nomadworld.com for newest version)

Play for Sure for the Zen Xtra slow song transf

Since I updated the firmware for the Zen 60gig xtra to support the Play For Sure encryption, it has very slow song transfers. I am trying to transfer about 4500 songs. It does the first 000 normal then it is like 5 mins for each one after that. So it takes like 4 days to transfer. Is there some kind of patch or driver change I need to make?

Just an update, transfer is still goin good, so all of you that are having those hangs and slow downs this 3 hot fixes posted in this forum under the MTP Thread seem to work for me. However, being a Regional IT Manager I know that what works for one computer doesnt always apply. I remember seeing the IMPORTANT Note just before I downloaded the firmware and I thought, naw... I dont need any updates, I do my Microsoft Updates so im cool, but the hotfixes mentioned are not CRITICAL updates so you have to manually apply them. In my opinion this is not really a Creative issue since they are depending on the files from the Play For Sure protocal and those are coming from Microsoft, so they have to kind of rely on whats out there and unfortunately for us poor *******s to update. I am wondering if they can include the hotfixes in their install? SOmething that would detect to see if the hotfix is present and if not, install? Just a thought, or at least prompt you to go get the hotfix first then install.
