Soundblaster Wireless Music - Apple Mac Compatab
Quick question - I am thinking of buying the wireless music system and wondered if it is Apple Mac compatable?
Thanks in advance
Peter
I checked the lierature for system requirements and it only lists Win98 or newer, no mention of Mac. Maybe a CL person would comment on possible future plans. Typically they won't comment on unannounced products though.

Need help! (Simple question regarding Soundblaster Wireless Music)(I ho
Hey everyone, this might be a bit of a dumb n00b question but I'm having a problem with my soundblaster wireless music.
The problem is that it won't shuffle any tracks.
I have createdplaylists, populated them all very easily, but it will only play one track from each one. I have to select every single track it I want it to play manually on the remote. Using the 'Mode' button on the remote about all I can get it to do is repeat the same track over and over again.
The only way i've been able to get it to shuffle is by loading a bunch of tracks into the "Now Playing" secton of the console but that seems a little tedius and kind of what i created the playlists for in the firstplace.
Is this the way the software is supposed to function or am I missing something so simple that it will make me look dumb...When trying to play your play list with the remote are you going into the playlist before hitting play? You need to hit play at the playlist list level, not once you'e gone into a given playlist where the songs of the playlist are listed.

Cisco wireless and Apple Mac woes
Hello all,
I've been working with Cisco wireless and WLC's for a couple of years now but the recent onslaught of Apple Mac's is giving me heart burn. I've seen this at numerous sites now and need to throw it to eht community for guidance.
Basically we have had a number of instances where the Macs just fall off the wifi. Sometimes it's when they wake from sleep and other times when roaming between AP's (1131s with same SSID's). Our standard install is WPA2 and per ap local authentication. PC's work fine and never an issue.
We have completed a survey with a spectrum analyser and no RF interefence is present nor errors on the radio interface.
Questions:
- Is there a preferred Cisco config/setup for Mac's to work reliably? I've heard loads of rumors but nothing concrete and nor can I find anything specific.
- Should I be setting up WDS in case there is an authenticating issue.
- For those who are Mac gurus and happen to be reading. What Mac options we should look at?
This has all come to a head because the clients IT company who recommended the Macs (different from us doing the network infrastructure) are insisting that the problem is Cisco incompatibility and that we should rip out the Cisco kit and install airports (what tha!!!).
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
For those who like a config here it is .... Vanilla stuff really

Soundblaster Wireless Music - receiver is connected but no so
I have a SB Wireless music receiver (purchased in March '05).
It was working just fine for 3 months, then nothing. After several attempts reistalling, rebooting, etc (including several emails back and forth with Creative Americas Cusotmer Support, it was determined that my receiver might be defecti've. I was given an RMA#, I returned the receiver (under warranty), and got it back yesterday.
I am experiencing the SAME problem I was experiencing before I sent it in (see below).
My wireless receiver IS DEFINTITELY communicating through my wireless router, as I can clearly see my library, playlists, etc. on the RF remote display. When I try to play music, I can access my library, playlists, etc. I select a track and hit the play button. Everything shows up on the remote display, but the counter is not counting, e.g. 00:00:00 is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the RF, and consequently, I get no sound from my stereo, and yes, it IS connected correctly via the RCA cables.
Any suggestions? And thanks in advance,
ChrisDo you mean you entered 3 characters to generate your WEP key? A WEP 28 key is normally represented as a string of 26 hexadecimal digits (valid hexadecimal digits are 0 through F, where decimal is 0 through 9). You may enter a passphrase to generate your hex key, that's what I did on my Netgear router, but then the actual WEP key shows up in my Key field in the router setup as a string of 26 hex digits. If you just enter 3 regular characters this represents a string of 26 hex numbers. Here's some examples of ASCII character to hex conversions; the letter -lower case "g" is a hex "67", a space " " is a hex "20", a upper case "L" is a hex "4C". It is the string of 26 hex digits that must be entered into the wireless music setup for WEP 28.

Wireless Music playback interruption - High Bit R
I'm having a problem with sporadic playback interruption with my SoundBlaster Wireless Music player.
I have the current firmware and drivers. I'm using WMA files which I have ripped using a high bit rate.
Does anyone have any idea if this high bit rate can contribute to the playback interruption?
Thanks.If you registered with a good email address Jeremy (CL moderator) might be able to email you a patch that he has made available through email in the past to address the high bit rate issue. I also found if you're running on XP you can set the priority of SBWMsvr.exe to high using Windows Task manager and it seems to correct the problem.

Hi!
I am having some difficulties with the soundblaster wireless music. Specifically, I am finding that the included software cannot import my music collection all at once. I have ~2000 mp3 files (all properly tagged), and the import utility consistently hangs my machine. My music collection in on an external 60Gb usb HD (using a usb .0 port) and everything is on a PIII 500MHz machine with 384 Mb rab and windows XpSp. I can import at most, 50 songs at a time without the system hanging, but with 2000 songs, that would be quite a task! Do you have any suggestions?
I have applied all the relevant updates (software and firmware) as of 0/3/04.
Is it possible to use another piece of software to catalogue my collection?
Or, is my machine just not up to the task.
Thanks!
PaulMessage Edited by pdjones22 on 0-5-2004 06:2 PMI have over 7000 mp3's and have cataloged them all in one pass using the MediaSource software at 2.02.06. They reside on a internal SATA dri've so I'm wondering if the connection speed may be the problem. Are all your files in a single directory? I have very clean tags, but have also a directory tree structure that is like "dri've:\MP3\Artist\Album". I just said Import Tracks and went to the MP3 folder and said add folder. The import then runs in a 2 phase process, the st phase appears to grab all the tag info and the 2nd phase appears to do the actual cataloging. A Continue button is required to continue to the 2nd phase.

Wireless Music - Software updates or updated version?
I have two SoundBlaster Wireless Music receivers and I love the functionality, but I am seriously disappointed with the software/operation... It is not fast or user friendly!
Are there any plans for updates to the remote/software? or are there plans for a new product to replace this?
I am sure others have commented on the same problems/performance/lack of features:
- needs a page up/down feature for scrolling through long lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- needs alternate drill down paths (genre to artist to song, genere to album to song, etc)
- needs alternate sorting (by artist, song, etc... it is frustrating to see a list of songs sorted by artist when you are seeing the song name, not the artist name)
- needs to be able to save/export information such as playlists and song ratings (preferrably into the id3 tags) so they can be reinstalled and not have to be recreated when you get a new PC
- would be great to be able to select from different libraries... put my C/W into one library, Rock into another, etc... I know I can make a C/W playlist and such, but when you have been collecting CD's for 20 years, I have so many it would be nice to subset it from the start.
- browse songs on the remote by folder also...
- and I could go on and on...
I assume a lot of the lack of user friendly operation might be because it was not tested with large libraries... Making the remote's ability to navigate songs faster/easier would make it so much nicer!
Any word on the future of the software or new products to replace it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ray
[email][email protected]][email protected][/url]RayBowers,
Currently the most recent update that I have is firmware update that addresses difficulties with high bitrate files. That file is available through email currently and does update the remote software (but no changes to functionality that I know of). I have not received any information on updates for the wireless music but will pass your suggestion to our product developers (along with your request). I'll see if I can find anything out for you on this.

Wireless music from my Mac OSx Leopard
I have a newer MacBook Pro w/OSx 10.5. I'm trying to figure out if I can achieve wireless music from my Mac using Bluetooth or my wireless network? I don't want to plug anything into my usb ports or my network ports. I simply want to play music from my computer, the way it is. I know I'll have a unit to plug into my stereo, I just don't want to plug anything into my computer.
I was reading about Stereo Bluetooth Profile (A2DP) on Mac OS X Tiger with Jack Audio, but I don't really understand if that will work, to play music to my stereo from my Mac.
Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks,
GaryI'm thinking you've probably already considered this, but Apple's own AirPort router with AirTunes is an incredibly easy way to hook up your computer to your stereo with nothing but your wireless network (which, naturally, the router broadcasts).

I have had to have a new hard drive fitted and now I cannot sync my Iphone with my Apple Mac, thinks it's a new computer. Any ideas Please?
Alan CI keep this as a copy and paste. It's the same process for Mac as it is for a PC. Read it over and see what you think. Post back if you have questions.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

We recently bought an Apple Mac and now I cannot download music from ITunes to my Ipod Nano. Although the name of the Ipod comes up, I cannot load any music on it any more. Our last computer had Microsoft software and I was told this is the reason the Mac will not allow any downloading. Do I have to clear the music off my Ipod and start again? Please help.
- To change ID go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign in with the one you want. If you iPod has iOS 5 you may have to also go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the second account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -
How do I make my printer work wirelessly from my Apple Mac?
I have recently changed my router. I have an Apple Mac and a Canon Pixma MP620 printer. I can't seem to set it up so that the printer works wirelessly. The old router is still listed on the printer so I need to change that first. Can anyone help?
If you open System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, then the Canon Printer Options and Supplies, do you have a button for Open Printer Webpage? You should be able to do the setup of the printer, that is change the network settings, from there.

We have a newish apple mac and this morning all our files have vanished - all photo's, vidoes, music etc. How can we get it back? Thanks
First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.

I have got two questions: 1. Can I use a wireless Mouse with an I Pad? 2. Is there Nano-Technology in use in Apple / Mac - Computers, I Pads and or Phones?
Thanks RolandThere actually is a type of "pointer" native to iOS. it's part of the AssistiveTouch feature, used to replicate multitouch gestures with one finger. You just can't control it with a mouse.
Anyway, as far as I can discern the iPad does not use nanotechnology in any part of its construction. -
