THX Supp

With the first Vista drivers for the Audigy 2 ZS everything seemed to work. I was getting all 5. channels to work correctly and was able to set my speaker distances in the THX setup console. Starting with the second set of beta drivers that were released in mid-January I've had no such luck.
I'm currently running Vista Home Premium 32 bit and the most up-to-date drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS. When I set the soundcard to function in 5. the rear two channels are repeated over the front two, i.e. rear left plays over my front left speaker.
When I attempt to open the THX control panel an error message pops up "Error obtaining THX Interface! Please install and register CTTHXCAL.DLL."
The EAX Console simply will not start.
Any clues for how to fix this?

I am having exactly the same problem. The .dll file is definately there in my system 32 folder, but still this messgae comes up & I'm unable to access the TXX console.Any ideas?TIA.

Creative and Vista supp

Recently I upgraded (clean install actually) to Windows Vista.
I have a Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic, which I bought about an year ago. I have Creative Inspire T7700 speakers hooked up to the X-Fi.
I'm really frustrated with the Vista support. I should have never upgraded if I knew there is such a lack of support.
Of course I installed the latest drivers, I installed ALCHEMY, Mediasource and etc.
What really disappointed me is that I made a serious downgrade instead of a proper upgrade once I tried adjusting my X-Fi. All my favorite functions were gone:
1. The Volume Panel icon in the tray is gone.
2. The new Volume Panel is extremely slow.
3. The THX Console is not working. (what is the point of having a THX logo on the volume panel if you can't actually calibrate your speakers !) e.g. Clicking on the rear right speaker in the THX console activates the front right speaker (in the volume panel it works correctly). Calibration doesn't work at all. The only thing that works in the console is the Bass Management.
4. The setting for adjusting DD and DTS output to 7. speakers is now gone.
5. There is NO DTS Neo plugin for creative MediaSource.
6. The nice DOLBY Digital / DTS logo that used to appear on the lower right corner when playing such content is gone.
7. Applying EAX effects requires to restart all the applications currently using the sound card (Otherwise sound just disappears)
8. No DVD-Audio. I have only album, though this really angers me.
and many others... such as emulation of SPDIF out and etc.. and not to mention all the applications such as Vienna SoundFont Studio, the Karaoke Player... all gone.
When is Creative going to release proper drivers and applications for Vista I mean whats the point in having an $50 X-Fi card when you can do all the things with an ordinary $0 7. sound card It has been more than an year now since Microsoft released Vista. People will start upgrading to Vista, and yes, customers won't be pleased with the so-called "upgrade".
And yes, I have the latest drivers, I have the latest software from Creative, Windows is configured to use 7. Speakers. It was all working fine under XP.
This is NOT the sound card I bought.

HI GUYS, HOW CAN I REGISTER THE ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD ON MY MACBOOK AFTER REGISTERING IT ON MY IMAC THX TO ALL

HI GUYS, HOW CAN I REGISTER THE ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD ON MY MACBOOK AFTER REGISTERING IT ON MY IMAC THX TO ALL

I am not clear on what you mean by "register" but if you mean you want to install it on another machine then you just need to install it the same way you did for the first machine.

How can I see the whole screen on my original iPad, without having to scroll up or down. Something changed and I don't know how to get it back. I don't have a computer to hook it up to. Thx!

My front screen seems to zoom in when I start it now. AND, now I can not see the page fit the screen. It makes me scroll on the borders to move parts of the screen into view. Something changed and I don't know what happened or how to get it back to normal. Please HELP!!! Thx!

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps

I'd like to copy and paste a few Gigs worth of photos residing in iPhoto (ver. 5?) to a flash card - is there a simple way to do this w/o the issue of "duplicate" image numbers (when they are in fact unique images, but the translation is lost)... thx

Tried doing this a few yrs ago and it was maddening, the receiving flashcard (or desktop) kept flagging duplicate image numbers and my only choice to was to delete one or replace, when - because they are unique images - I wanted all of them to be saved on disk (is there a way to auto rename to prevent this)??? Thx.

Just tried to export photos and kept getting messages that a certain photo was corrupt or some such thing and then it stopped and did not continue with export. Frustrating as I spent hours moving ~1200 photos into 2 folders on desktop. Tried doing a few at a time and one always stopped the entire export. Is there a way around this? I.e., program so it exports photos that work, does not export those that are damaged? Would be nice to know before the fact (in moving to folder) that photos have issues. Thanks for any help - again!

Creative Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX: How can I find a new remote control & spare satellite(s)?

Hi all,
For years, we have owned and used one remarkable speaker set from Creative:
The Creative Megaworks (Cambridge Soundworks) 250D 2.1 THX-certified speakers!
I have no complaints. The sound this small 2.1 set produces is amazing! The 300 watts (RMS) power can shake the whole house - x50W + 2x75W are more than enough! Movies, music, games, everything sounds great - bass is deep and clear, mid-range is good, high frequences are clear! There's no noise and no distortion (I have connected the system to an SPDIF digital connector on my sound card), the Signal-to-Noise ratio is 99 dB, and the frequency response of the set is extremely good, too!
But I have a problem, now. We have broken, by accident, one of the satellites. Now I have only one satellite, and the bass/amplifier with the remote control... Looks like a . system... ;-)
This system was a present for us. Maybe we were lucky, but I am very happy with the build quality of this Creative spaker set. Until we have broken one of the satellites ourselves, yesterday, everything was OK, and the sound it produced was amazing all these years...
I tried to contact a Creative representative, asking if we can maybe order one (or two) spare satellites fot this set, but the only reply (up to now) was:
"You are out of warranty period. Buy a new speaker set."
Well, we could, I guess...
But:
First: Creative does not have (at present) a similar model, 2.1, THX certified, with digital (SPDIF input), 300W+ RMS, 99 dB Signal-to-Noise.
Second, to throw away such an amazing set just because there's one satellite broken? That would be such pity! :-(
I'd like to buy one (or two) new 250D satellites. I was thinking even that, in the worst case, I can maybe try to order 2 satellites from a Creative Gigaworks S750 set. They have very similar characteristics, 70W rms power, 8 ohms, so maybe this'll work. I was trying to check today if two satellites can be ordered, but with no luck up to now... :-(
Does anyone have any similar experience? What do you do if you accidentally have broken up one satellite from a 2./5./7. expensi've speaker set? Should you throw away the whole set? Try to find similar satellites?
I hope Creative support will help, but I don't have much hope, at present...
Does anyone have experience connecting an S750 satellite to a 250D system? Can I expect any problems? Or it'll work?
Finally, just one more question:
The remote control.
Currently, the remote control unit on our 250D model works OK. But I am a bit worried, if anything happens, that the speaker set can become useless. So I'd like to order one spare new remote control for this model, just in case. Can someone help?
Maybe, even if this speaker set is not produced anymore, a new remote control can be ordered from Creative?
I'd really like to make these 250D speakers produce great sound again!? I am a big Creative fan and Creative 250D 2.1 THX is one of the best sound systems I have ever owned (or heard) and I'd like to do everyting to fix things up...
Thanks for all the help!
Cheers! :-)
PS The satellites of the 250D look very much like these. But these Cambridge Soundworks satellites are more powerful (20W RMS); I was even thinking to order a pair of them, but not sure if they'll fit well. Maybe a pair of S750 satellites (70W RMS) is a better idea? But in any case, if I can find a new pair of satellites, what to do with the remote control?... Please, help!

After exchanging several messages with official Creative Support, I feel a bit disappointed... For years, I have believed that Creative is a company that makes amazing audio products. They probably still do, but now that I am a customer who owns an expensive product of theirs, but with expired warranty, they don't want even to suggest a solution that can work for both parties!
Why is Creative Support so un-supportive? :-( I am still a Creative customer, after all, right?
My communication with Support went nowhere. After it was established that our 250D system is out of warranty period (it is only 2 years, btw), they refused to sell me a replacement satellite (even if they still may have some left in stock, for such cases)!
Finally, I found S700 satellites on ebay and I hope that 2 of them will fit well with the 250D system. Impedance of 250D satellites is 8 ohms (S700 satellites are 8 ohms, too), power is almost the same (250D satellites are 75W rms, and S700 are 70W rms), Signal-to-Noise of both systems is 99 dB, and frequency response is similar, too (250D satellites should be around 50Hz - 8 kHz, I think, and S700 should be around 50Hz - 20 kHz).
Well, my final 'point of worry' was that if anything happens with the remote control, we won't be able to switch on/off the system, even if the sub/amplifier works. So, I tried to ask Support just to sell me one new remote control, if they can. To sell, not to give for free, mind this! ;-)
They refused!
My e-mails are either left un-answered, or the only kind of reply I get is 'We can offer you 10% off our new products'. Well, I don't want to buy a whole new expensi've system, if I can just get 1-2 replacement parts for my old one, and have it working for years! :-)
(Imagine you buy an expensive DSLR camera, you break the LCD screen, and imagine how Canon or Nikon refuse to sell you a replacement LCD, because you're out of warranty! I can't imagine that!)
Well, with Creative it looks like this works only this way: Buy a new system. While speaker system is within its warranty period, Creative may replace defecti've and/or broken parts. Once system is out of warranty period, you can simply throw the system away, as Creative will not sell you replacement parts, no matter how politely you ask (and no matter if such parts are available at Creative or not)!
I hope I will be able to use our 250D system for some more time (after the satellites arrive). I don't know how I can find a new remote control, just to be on the safe side.
And I am not sure I will buy Creative product next time. I will carefully look around and maybe will pick up a product from a company which will offer me not only warranty support, but out-of-warranty support, too. That would be wise.
I like how the high-end Creative speaker systems sound. I simply cannot understand how this company can be successful, if they make such great products, but then refuse to help its customers, when they have problems... :-(

Creative Audigy 2 ZS platinum Vista Supp

Guys
i've a Audigy 2 ZS platinum
I bought a New Windows Vista Ultimate 32BIT
I try installing the drivers from the Driver CD its not supporting
I downloaded the vista drivers from web
and its the most lousiest driver pack i ever saw in my life
Is there any way to enable the full audio console(like THX,EAX,Graphic EQ and speaker settings) for Vista?
Why creative is not up to date with the market...
why no Vista support is available for creative.. weird...
any brilliant ideas from anywhere?

Exactly how I feel. It borders on the absurd that 5 months after Vista release Nvidia has nothing but garbage drivers and applications for Audigy2.

I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children.

Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.

Unable to download iTunes 10.7 on my Macbook, hence, cannot use my iphone 5. How could I upgrade my OSX?( apart from buying a new Macbook, thx)

You need OSX 10.6.8 at least. Read the link below on getting 10.6 at least, then update online to 10.6.8. Depending upon your model computer you might be able to go beyond 10.6.

Question about Audigy 4 and bug report regarding the THX-cons

Will there be a non-pro version of the Audigy 4 and when?
The THX-console doesn't remember its settings when I switch from one speaker config to another. This is pretty annoying since I use both a hi-fi system and headphones.
Could you fix this please?
Thanks!

thanks for info. Sorry I didn't post this earlier but the slider has corrected itself. Also the is probably being used by the os

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
