This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

< This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

  • Two separate questions about the new s3 update

    Okay, so I just recently updated my s3 and so far I love everything about it, very nice job. Just two things bother me about it (not sure if the second one has to do with the update or not)
    Firstly, when you receive a text message it pops up on your lock screen with about the first sentence of the message. Now that's a big problem for me, I enjoy my privacy, so if I'm texting someone, get up and leave me phone wherever I am at the time, someone could pick up my phone and instantly see who I'm talking to and what about without any type of security (I have the pin lock). If there is a way to disable it I cannot find it anywhere, maybe I'm not looking hard enough, any help would be appreciated.
    Secondly, when sent a picture message instead of the message itself from the person sending it I get a message from "Me" or my own phone number saying "You've got a new PIX or FLIX message! To see it, visit *insert the vzw site here*. When going to the site it asks me to sign up and sync my phone to the cloud, which I do not want at all. Is this something with my service or the new update? It's quite infuriating to be honest. If either of these is true, is there a way to disable this feature and continue receiving pictures/video messages "normally"? PS: Picture/Video messaging worked all normal before I updated.
    Thank you so much for any insight or help you can provide.

    If you are using the stock Text messaging App. Open the app (while on the screen that shows all your people you have text, (not an individual person) click on your menu icon, the go to Settings> scroll down to >Notification settings>Notifications  The box should be unchecked, or if it is checked there is a "Preview message" option that you can uncheck. That will take it off of the lock screen. Hth.
    ***Sorry, did not see the link that Tikibar posted ref the first question. If you leave the "Notifications" box checked, you can customize the rest of your notifications...and just uncheck the "Preview message" box.

    Computerguy,
    In order to use the iTunes WiFi Store on the iPhone you need to sync the account information to the iPhone as discussed in this article:

  • Two quick questions about the new iMacs...

    I work at a church, and this summer, we are breaking ground on a new building. I am hoping to get a new iMac to go in the new sound booth to run the Power Point. Two questions:
    Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
    Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?
    Thanks!
    Matthew

    <<Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
    Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?>>
    I know Apple offers education and government discounts... I'm not aware of discounts for church organizations.
    Yes, the iMac CD offers support for dual monitors, mirrored and extended.

  • Two quick questions about the project and timing panes

    1) Is there a hotkey for toggling between the project and timing panes?
    I can't seem to find this anywhere. I know F5 and F6 open and close them, but I'd like to be able to simply activate then without having to click on them. I'd like to be able to simply toggle between them and navigate using the arrow keys
    2) Is there a way to lock together the project and timing views so that when you open a group in one that group is also opened in the other?

    Sure, play/stop SHOULD work, but it doesn't always. And the up/down arrows only work to move layers in some instances. Try this. In a normal project, select a layer in either the layers pane or the canvas. Use the up/down arrows and you'll find Motion cycles between layers. Now close the layers pane (F5) and open it again. Now try to use the up/down arrows. It no longer cycles on my machine (and probably yours).
    In fact, Motion 4 broke a LOT of the keyboard shortcuts that used to work seemlessly in Motion 3.
    For example: I create a text object and start typing my text. About 30 percent of the time hitting the spacebar while typing text will cause playback to start. Pure annoyance.
    I used to be able to Hit HOME and END to go to the start and end of the project when the layer's pane is active, now I can't.
    About 25 percent of the time when I'm in the layers pane and I hit spacebar, instead of playing the project, I turn off the layer that was currently selected.
    Those are just a few of my pet peeves. There are definitely some real issues with shortcuts in Motion 4.

  • Lots of Questions about the Creative MuVo Slim 256MB MP3 Pla

    <SPAN>Hello, I'm thinking of buying it...but I got lots of questions that i want it answered first before I buy it.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>. How long does the battery last? Like would I even need to replace the rechargeable li-ion battery every year? month? never?
    <SPAN>2. I know I can only charge the battery via <SPAN>USB<SPAN> cable, so a<SPAN>pproximately how long is the wait time until it has fully recharged?<SPAN>
    <SPAN>3. Is it possible to recharge using an adapter instead of the <SPAN>USB<SPAN>? Because I found it easily.<SPAN>
    <SPAN>4. Do you think this is worth buying? Or should I wait on a future release? <SPAN>
    <SPAN>5. Is the voice recording clear? And can you record 5-0 feet away?<SPAN>
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Thank you very much for your time in answering my questions.

    . Lithium Ion batteries last at peak performance for about 3 years, or 300-500 charges, whatever comes first. They will still work after this for several years, but at reducing performance.
    2. Sorry, not sure...
    3. Again, not sure. You're taking a risk that the adapter is compatible.
    4. Only you can make that decision. Just look at this and the other players and compare the features and price.
    5. The in-built microphones are not great quality, and really only good for recording interviews and meetings, that type of thing.

  • QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 4 GB ZEN MI

    hi,
    I just purchased a 4 gb zen micro. I was wondering, on some of the pages it says pre order now, but when you check for availability, it says it is now available, so which one is right? I was going to just wait until it said buy now, but since I saw the now available page i went ahead and bought it. It said it will take 3-8 days. If it isn't out yet, when?
    thanks!

    It would be better to address this to the Online Store directly.

  • 4 questions about the Creative Suite Design Standard Student and Teacher Edition

    1) Can I also buy the 5.5 version from adobe or is only the 6 version available? Because online I could not get the former version into the shopping basket.
    2) If I buy the version 6, i can only download the suite and get no CDs. What will happen, if my computer will be broken - can I install the suite again at another pc?
    3) Can I use the student version also in a commercial way - so that the products, I create with it, can use commercial?
    4) Can I use that also if I am not a student in several months?
    Thanks for answers.

    1) Can I also buy the 5.5 version from adobe or is only the 6 version available? Because online I could not get the former version into the shopping basket.
    only cs6, cc and cc 2014 are available via adobe.
    2) If I buy the version 6, i can only download the suite and get no CDs. What will happen, if my computer will be broken - can I install the suite again at another pc?
    you can download and save the installation files (and your serial number) so you can reinstall. (though adobe currently allows even users of very old software to continue to download installation files.)

    yes
    4) Can I use that also if I am not a student in several months?

  • Two questions about the E1000 and Xbox 360

    Okay this is going to be a two part questions. ( both my friend and I have the E1000 )
    1st
    My friend and his brother are having issues with their Xbox 360's. My friend has his xbox set to dmz mode and his brother is just using I guess we'll say the default way. And when my friend is playing any game his brother tries to play call of duty black ops and the nat says strict or moderate. Now I was reading about port range triggering and how to set it up but there are different ways some people are doing it. I've seen a few videos that the people had different settings. Whats the correct way that my friend and his brother can both play xbox 360 and not have any nat issues?
    ( BTW their both hook-up wired )
    2nd
    I'm currently using dmz settings as-well ( wireless ) My home users only uses a few devices like laptops, ipods, kindle, and just one Xbox. Now I want the optimal performance I can get. I'm currently downloading mass effect ( games on demand xbox 360 ) The game size is 6.83gb and taking awhile to download. I say I've been downloading it for over 40 minutes and I'm currently at 77%, is this normal speed? Or can I boost my speed a bit? My Internet Provider is Cablevision in NJ "Optimum Online" download is 15mbps download is 5mbps.

    Xbox live will only let you connect 1 xbox for every WAN IP address. Your ISP gives you only 1 dynamic public IP which will be pass down from the modem to the router. The router gives your other devices private ip addresses.
    Strictly speaking, only 1 xbox will be allowed by xbox live to connect because of the reason you only have 1 public ip. You will be lucky if you can connect two.
    Anyway, you can try the steps below:
    Access the page of your router
    Click Admin Tab, disable UpNP.
    Then trigger ports: 3074/53/88/22728/33233
    2869/10280-10284/1900/1024
    Click Applications and Gaming Center Tab
    Click Port Range Trigger
    Ex:
    Application name: xbox1, xbox2
    xbox1--enter port 3074 on all 4 boxes and click enable
    xbox2--enter 10280 on start box and 10284 on end box, same for the other 2 boxes and click enable.
    Enter all number and on the applications boxes and save

  • Two questions about the new iWeb

    Hi
    I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
    1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
    2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
    thanks

    Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

    It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system.  The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.

  • I want to question about the official service at the service center of Sony.

    I want to question about the official service at the service center of Sony.
    long since I like the models and items sony. from start playstation, cameras, camcorders up, I've ever had. and a new camera that I bought two years ie compact cameras Sony Cybershot DSC H200. as of a month ago, a camera was having problems in lenses that would not close. and setting the automatic mode to move by itself. I came to the Sony Service Center in Makassar, precisely on Jl. Shop Pengayomann A5 / 05 (0411) 442340.
    operator initially said only two weeks to work on my camera. but this week has been more dau even want to go in a month tomorrow, dated July 9, no news from the service center. and I kept the call to the office service. as well as assorted reasons. there are no spare parts or technical constraints, and the last one I call to his office, he said the factory spare part is damaged. imported directly from Singapore. I think, ko new spare part it can be damaged before using that? how the quality of this Sony spare part? ugly? not good? why?
    I was disappointed with this situation, where soon it will Eid, want to return home as well to Java. but the camera has not been settled workmanship?
    nah, roughly what is the solution of the Sony plagued with this problem? please help, because he did not know to whom to complain. operator had just said: it's up to the father alone.
    once again I asked for his help. solution. if you can before Eid arrived.
    Thank you,
