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)

bump?

Ow do I keep the slideshow settings window from popping up?

every time I start a slideshow in iPhoto 7.1.1, the slideshow settings window keeps on popping up, even if I save the display and music settings.
This is useless and annoying. Where do I change the settings such that I am not asked about the slideshow settings every time anew?
thanks for any help!

2.2 GHz Intel C...:
If your using an album and playing a slideshow with the play button at the bottom of the page hold down the Option key and hit the play button. That will bypass the setting window if you have saved the settings. Those settings will be linked to that album so if you remove the photos and put new ones in the same settings will still be valid.
Barry:
If the slideshow button is not in the toolbar at the bottom go to the View->Show in Toolbar menu and select Slideshow.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I keep the "conformsetting cookies" box from popping up all the time?

Every time I try to pull up a page this stuip box called "Confirm Setting Cookies" pops up and won't let me do anything. I'm about to remove Firefox because of the frustration. I have other issues with your program but since I can't even get into my mail 1/2 the time or go to a page when I want to this is the biggest issue right now. And why, OH why is there no0 phone number for those of us that can't get an answer on you help pages? The dame thing just popped up again.

That entry in your keychain may be damaged. In the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Keychain Access. At the left, the upper item selected should be login, and the lower on Passwords. At the right, locate (if it's obviously named), the item for X509Anchors and remove it. Close Keychain Access. Then next time you visit the site this is for, it will ask for your login information as if it were your first visit. Enter your info and a new keychain link will be created.

Got Zen Xtra back from Creat

I just got back a Zen Xtra 30gb from Creative. I had sent it in last month for them to repair the headphone jack problem. I must have gotten either a new or refurbished Zen Xtra because it looked brand new and the serial number was different from what I had submitted. Either way, it works great. Thanks Creative.

No, nothing on the Zen Xtra except the tutorial stuff they have on it. No big deal though. I'm giving it to my girlfriend who doesn't have an MP3 player and keeps stealing my Micro from me. She actually asked me if she could keep the Micro and have me take the Zen Xtra. I laughed and said no. Still, she's happy she has an MP3 player now.

How can I add a line but keep the number I have from tmobile

How can I add a line but keep the number I have from Tmobile

Hi, Janice!
I'm just guessing, but I imagine you'd get your question answered faster in the AE forum.

How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

Use only formatting that is supported (in the same manner) in both applications. You'll need to find which that is through trial and error. Beyond those formatting options, you'll need to do some corrections, as Fruhulda suggests.

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.

Many questions about the Zen Xtra 30

I have 4 questions: . Do you have to use EAX to have your songs play at the same sound level?
I was reading somewhere(dont remember, I think the online product manual) and it said if you use the EAX technology, then your songs will all play at the same sound on the Zen, rather than depend on how the sound level was at when the song was recorded. I dont have the right sound card, so I cant use EAX.
2. Does the Zen make any sounds when you push any of the buttons?
I plan on using this during study hall and i dont want some beep to get me caught.
3. Can you delete songs off the Zen without loading them back onto a computer?
3.5 If you can delete a song without a computer, does the Zen recycle the space into free space?
4.Where do you get your music from online?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

.) The EAX function on the Xtra has an option to limit sound volume for all songs when enabled. I found this to be useful when listening late at night (so loud drum clashes aren't louder than everything else, for example)... I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I hope that answered it.
2.) It does not make any noise when clicking the buttons. It's pretty silent; you can only notice light "clicks" from button pushing if the room is completely silent and you listen very closely. The clicks from depressing the buttons surely won't disturb anyone around you, though.
3.) Yes.
3.5.) When it's deleted, it's erased... so you'll have the amount of free space as if the song wasn't there in the first place.
4.) I have my methods... Mostly a technique of getting MP3's from my Real Rhapsody subscription, though

Zen xtra recording from line

hi,I have been loading my new
nomad Zen Xtra with my CD collection,going great once I got the hang of it {novice here} now I would like to load onto the `Zen` my old tape collection,this is where I am having a big problem,I make connection as follows

--does any one know what I am doing wrong ?
--has any one had same probs?
I am using Creative Media sorce organizer to do the transfer
frustrated Ron...................

hi every body, thanks for all the advice:--------------
the problem was the player that I was using to send to pc did not have a strong enough signal for the pc to reconise,athough I could hear it ok on the head phones,and also on the pc speakers,the recorder could not "hear it "tried other leads no good
then I used my large radio cassett player and it worked,
so I`m happily transfering my cassett music to the Zen,what a task the tagging is.
This will be repeated when I do my old L.P collection,we don`t know how lucky we are with the CD with all the info on.
regards Ron

Not able to Remove the ZEN 20GB Safely from compu

Hi All
When i connect my Zen 20Gb to my comp win xp sp2, it gets detected and i am able to get a new icon under removable dri've and am able to save data's in the Zen's dri've but when i want to disconnect it from the comp, i right click on the usb icon on system tray and click on safely remove the device, i select usb mass storage ZEN ( F: ) and click on stop, now it comes with an error msg that some application is still in use, i am sure i have closed all application and none are running, it happened y'dsday also, and i get the icon on the zen which says do not disconnect, finally i have to shut down the pc to remove the device why so, what could be the reason

It's important to shut down every program at least. There are tasks like Explorer though that shouldn't be shutdown ideally, and of course Explorer is one of those programs that might well have its hooks into the player. Again though, as long as you're not actually using it then you can most likely disconnect safely.
If the worst comes to the worst then just shut down the PC. You know it's not using it then!

Does MediaSource and the zen xtra support secure WMA fil

I bought a CD that uses some encryption utilities from a company called sunncomm (real blockheads @ that company, from the tech support to the VP by the way) It would seem that I'm able to download the "digital keys" from their web site however I get the message "license required" when I try to copy the songs to my zen extra using mediasource.
Anyone ever had experience with this?
....and for the record I would not recommend buying any CD's that are using this company's (sunncomm)system, or anything from RCA records. In their effort to thwart illegal distribution the two have decided to punish those of us who legally purchase their products and simply want to listen to it in our preferred format and on our preferred players. I really don't listen to anything on CD anymore, as my CD's just get loaded onto my player, in fact I'd taken the CD player out of my car all together and the zen is the only thing that gets played there. Without the ability to transfer the songs from CD to my player what I wind up with is a fifteen dollar coaster

The CD is Contraband from Velvet Revolver. It's released on the RCA label under BMG music. The name of the company that delevloped and runs the protection software is SunnComm. I'm working on a list of other titles and artists that have this installed on their releases well. CL product users may find that useful as a list of titles to avoid.
The thing that is really bothersome is that nowhere on the CD did it indicate this protection was there when I bought it. Only when I popped it into my PC did it become evident. This as it turns out would have been a bit different if I owned an ipod, as since ipod has it's issues with WMA files to begin with they don't even pretend to support anything related to ipod. While that's a move that I'm sure CL thinks is just fine, it's seems like a bit of a bonehead move for the record company. What really irks me about sunn comm it they are quite frankly lying about what their product does, it does NOT allow someone who has legally bought a music release to listen to that release on a digital player like they it does ... which as a consumer is a right I expect to have when I purchase music in any format. I've spoke with several people at sunn comm and they are of no help and obviously do not care about any issues a consumer has with their product. I'm also in contact with RCA and BMG about this mistake they are making in not properly informing consumers about what their product actually is. I'm not a music pirate, I bought their release intending it only for my own personal use, but they have turned the simple act of buying music in to a week long Odyssey and headache. No one at Sunn Comm or BMG seems to understand that which does not bode well for for either company or industry.

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.
