V2.18.0004 driver..DD/DTS input decode option is missing, why is that? (Vista 64bit + X-FI Eli

EDIT: Mistery is solved....read second post to see answer!
Read about the added hardware DD/DTS decoding in Vista with latest driver v2.8.0004!
But I seem to be missing the SPDIF option in the audio consol. Only the "default" and "passthrough" option are available. It doesn't say in the driver description that it's only for 32bit windows(like the DVD-Audio option)so I guess something else most be wrong.
I used the Creative auto opdate tool twice to update. First time, it found the new drivers plus, I think, an update to the Creative mediaplayer. After discovering the missing DD/DTS decode option, I tried for fun, running it'sagain. And this time, it found like 3/4 more updates, like a newer audio consol version...yeah, perhaps it worked now, I thought! But no, unfortunately that was not it! :-(
I don't have any DD/DTS receiver nearby my PC, so I can't test if at least the passthrough option works, but I'm considering if a re-install of all Creative software is the way to go, but would like to hear from others first.....parhaps there's an easier way and again, I don't really now if others got it to work under Vista 64 and on a Elite edition X-FI....
Haven't noticed anything else, didn't notice any errors during updating or after, so I'm merely just curious to know if the "new" Vista decode option is accesible to me
Anyone with any experience/input :-)
Cheers!

Ok, nevermind, I have found out why!
My Elite Pro card, to my BIG surprise, apparently is not supported according to this list http://www.soundblaster.com/X-FiList/
This was a BIG BIG surprise to me, as I wasn't aware of Creative removing features in newer revisions of the model.
Bought a new Elite Pro about half a year ago or so(after having used an former Elite Pro card for little over 2 years) because the other card had it's analog pre-outs failing.
Migrating to Vista I didn't think of the feature missing, as I thought it to only be a software problem due to Vista's new hardware restrictions....well, learning again.
However, I now can't help but feeling dissapointed and a little let down by this move!

Creative T7700 and DTS-100 Decoder (PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP)

Hi
I purchased a Creative T7700 Speaker system and DTS-100 Decoder the other week but so far have had no luck getting it to work. I use a Gigabyte GA-K8NS ULTRA motherboard which came with an audio combo kit that supports 7.1. I did everything the logical way, Connecting the black wire to black socket in speaker and red tabbed wire to the red socket in speaker, I then connected each speaker to the sockets at the back of subwoofer. Then I connected the audio cables (grey, blue, orange, black) from sub to the Decoder switch, then connected the other wires from switch to the audio jacks at the back of the PC(blue plug to blue socket, black plug to black socket, orange plug to orange socket), The I connected the hardwired plugs in decoder switch to the decoder. Finally, I plugged the mains power to the decoder and subwoofer but got no sound at all. I checked the 7.1 was set up on computer and it was.
HAS ANYONE ANY IDEAS WHY I GET NO SOUND? :smileyindifferent:
1. I know I have power cause the circular green light on volume and bass controller is on.
2. I have the decoder set to analogue and tried 1,2 and 3.
3. I have tried changing the decoder switch between decoder and PC.
4. I checked I have the decoder and subwoofer set to 7.1
5. I know it isnt a problem with computer or decoder because when I plug earphones into the green audio jack in either the PC or Decoder I get sound (Although I have the decoder switch set to "PC"meaning the decoder just sits there with its little green lights making no difference at all).
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.
Thanks

I also am having this issue. Where I have installed the software for the M and after doing so I plug it in and get the Driver installation that fails to find drivers. If I try to open the creative explorer or the firmware upgrade released yesterday both say no device attached.

DD/DTS decoder on X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista x64

Running X-Fi Xtreme Music in Windows Vista Business 64 Bit, connected to 7. speakers (analog, no external decoder).
The most recent driver 2_8_0008 enabled the decoder tab in the soundblaster control panel. So I switched to internal decoder. Played a DVD in PowerDVD, setting output to S/PDIF. Everything like I did in Windows XP, but no sound in Vista. Help please!

The rest of the system is 8800GTX, Corsair 580w PSU, Intel Core 2 Duo 4300 @ .8GHz.
As I said I have tried pretty much everything I can think of, I bought the card brand new from eBuyer. Basically am i missing some files somewhere that I should delete before attempting a re-installation of the drivers?
Thanks for the reply CLKillerWanted.

No Language and Input Support option in my OS 6 Applications list - need to add second language

I have a Curve 9300 bought a few weeks ago in the Caribbean (Digicel carrier). I'm now in Germany and was able to switch between english and german languages for the past few weeks; however this evening I synced the device with my Macbook for the first time, which prompted an upgrade in software.
Now I have OS version 6, but my language selection is only English and portuguese. When I select Applications on the desktop software, it does not give me the Language and Input Support option to re-add german.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the offiste RIM link,(where people can choose their international carriers), but the download is an unreadable Text Edit format. I've tried un- and re-installing on my mac, but that doesn't do anything, and i don't know how to uninstall from the device itself (plus am scared i'll lose all my info).
Can anyone help? I've exhausted every option and I need to write in both languages for work...
Thanks in advance!

Please remember as this section of forums is for Mac so the below mentioned steps can only be performed on a PC only not Mac. If you want to install Korean language support on your device you can try this :
1.Download and Install on your PC an OS pack having All Language from here Indosat or Device Software Download Sites for BlackBerry
( Make sure you are downloading for the same device model )
2.. Download and install the latest BlackBerry desktop software for Windows from here BlackBerry desktop software
3.Search your C: drive for Vendor.xml and delete them, there may be one or two vendor.xml ( On your Pc change your folders option to show hidden files/folders ) :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\Windows UserName\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Once completed Open BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows > Select Applications. > In the Language and Input Support section, select the language to be added to the BlackBerry smartphone (a + will appear next to the language to install) > Click Apply.

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

This is most probably because the Periodicity input value has been configured as "Required" and no value has been input for it.
Please enter a value and try to re-run Quick Pay.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
Thank you so much for any answers posted.
Best,
Eloise15.

If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

Vista 64bit can't find driver for networked Laserjet 3390.

I originally posted the following in the wrong section so I posted a retraction there and am reposting in this networking section. ===== I have an all-in-one Laserjet 3390 printer. It's connected to my WinXP Pro PC via USB and works fine as a printer. I don't use the scanner since I have a Canonon scanner that I use. I bought a Dell Studio 1537 laptop that came with Vista Home Premium 64bit installed. I networked the laptop to the WinXP PC via ethernet cables and a Belkin router. I can transfer files between both PCs with no problems. Now I'm trying to print on the 3390 from the Laptop. When using the Vista laptop, I can see the 3390 on the network. But when I try to connect to it, a window pops up saying: ***** The server for the 'HP LaserJet 3390 Series PCL6' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver.***** So I selected Vista 64bit on the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver HPUPD47PCL664.exe. Unzipped that file in a folder on the Vista laptop. Then connected to the 3390 printer again from the Vista laptop as I did before and when the pop up occured, I browsed to the folder that contains the unzipped UPD driver. I see several .inf files which is what the install program wants but when I click OK, a pop up says: ***** Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver. Contact your administrator for help locating and installing a suitable driver. ***** Any ideas?
This question was solved.

mrlaw10, You do not need the HP software since your printer is already on the network.
First, do a Windows Update. Next,
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices and Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
7. Select HP or Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

How have you been backing up the data on your computer and the external drive up until now?
I assume that you want to use the Time Capsule to back up your Mac and the external drive. Is that correct?

You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.
