VERY dissapointed by lack of Mac support

Hi,
well I've read a lot of posts on the web now about this and they all say the same thing: Why doesn't Creative make Mac drivers? And I've yet to see a reply! I've bought a Vista IM and of course it won't work on my iMac G5. I think this will put me off buying anything from Creative again.

Same here. I looked all over for a mac-compatible USB webcam, and found very little support out there. Macam is good, but due to Creative's lack of support (which amounts to simply giving the Macam people documentation, takes practically no effort on Creative's part) none of their recent webcams are supported. I went with a competitor for a couple of webcams instead, including the Philips SPC900NC (works well with Macam).
If Creative can't be bothered to support Macs, the least they could do is have some open dialog with the Macam people or send them a bit of documentation. But as it stands, Mac users will simply have to ignore creative.

  • Lack of Mac Support Disappointments

    I was very disappointed that the iPhone doesn't allow a Mac (MacBook Pro in my case) to use it's EDGE internet connection via Bluetooth. I would like to be able to use the iPhone's internet connection for my MacBook Pro when there's no WiFi available.
    Also, Bluetooth dialing support and SMS Messages in MacOS X's Address Book application isn't supported as well. This is really bad when other cell phones provide more integrated support for features in MacOS X than the iPhone.

    On the first point, I completely agree. Why the iPhone folks decided not to allow it to become a hotspot is beyond me - other than the low bandwidth, and resulting poor impressions from average users. I would like to be able to sign something that says "I UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM DOING THANKS" and have access to things like this that might displease "average" folks.
    On the second point, I don't think I agree. The iPhone has its own screen - the address book is duplicated. I don't see any reason to use the Mac address book to deal with the phone, when the phone can display everything the machine can....

  • VERY DISSAPOINTED at the lack of accessori

    Very, very, very dissapointed at the complete lack of accessories for the Creative line. I own a creative micro photo 8 gb which I purchased two days ago. I started out with the Sleek photo, but was very dissapointed in the sound quality. I used 4 different set's of headphones, and they all sounded like garbage. I exchanged it for the creative zen microphoto, and what a world of difference in sound quality, using those same headphones I had used before.
    Now, I want to listen in my car. The creative site advertises the belkin tunecast fm transmitter. The store I bought it from had it, so i bought it too. This too, was a dissapointment, as 88. was a dead station in my area and my sirius unit broadcasts crystal clear to this station. With my sirius unit off, and unplugged, i attached the belkin tunecast to the creative and heard a lot of static and garbage. I didn't matter where I moved the tunecast and the player too, it was not clear, had a lot of static, and was again, another dissapointment.
    I guess I'm done with creative. Sadly, I love the X-fi line of sound cards, as I have the the extreme music version. However, the lack of support for any sort of car dock, to hardwire the player into the stereo, or any sort of decent fm transmitter that fits on the creative player (like the i trip) is going to make me *dry heaves* buy an IPOD.
    I REALLY like the player itself. I am dissapointed that none of the creative accessories (what few there are) were carried in ANY retail store. Wal-mart, Best Buy, Circuit city, none of those had ANYTHING. No cases, no speakers, nothing. Come on Creative, get it together. You came halfway and made a great player, now follow through and offer supporting accessories. -
    Someone, please enlighten me as to other resources I can use to hardware my player, or at least a decent fm transmitter.

    JK23 no offense, but I am not lugging around a huge set of speakers that requires AC Power. What I am referring too is a powered speaker system that has a built in dock. One simple piece of equipment that I can stick in a suit case that requires no AC power, but runs on batteries. Yeah I know about the travel speakers and I also could go out and buy a boombox that has an aux-input. But guess what JK, if I had an iPod I wouldn't have to do either of those because there are dozens of companies that make power speakers systems with a built in dock. Creative made a nice one for the Zen Micro, but you'd think with the ZV:M being their Cadillac they would have been smart enough to realize they needed to make one for it.
    The fact is there is no powered speaker system with dock for the ZV:M because creative doesn't make one and apparently no one else in the industry has any incenti've to do so. I won't except excuses and I darn sure won't make any for them, nor will I suggest that someone buy something else, when clearly that isn't what they want.
    I could buy a set of computer speakers anywhere, but that isn't what I want and if I had an iPod that isn't what I'd have to settle for, so I hope this clears that up. I know I am being rather blunt, so don't get offended, just setting the record straight.

  • Lack of Mac & Linux Support Hurting Javafx 2.0 Early Adoption and traction.

    Lack of Mac & Linux Support Hurting Javafx 2.0 Early Adoption and traction.
    Oracle needs to come out with a Mac & Linux Beta built, or let developers know the real story behind Mac OS and Javafx 2.0.

    I too would like to at least be able to try the Mac/Linux ports, even knowing that they are behind the Windows version. But just knowing that Oracle is committed to them is enough to ease any nervous feeling that I'm choosing the wrong tech.
    I have no problems with the fact that Oracle is concentrating on Windows first. It makes sense. If you have to pick one platform to focus on while you are getting the kinks out, it makes sense for it to be the most popular platform. That's Windows. But there mustn't be too long of a wait for the others. (E.g. if they were in a public beta stage when the Windows version is at final release, that would help boost confidence in the platform.)
    So long as they don't make the same mistakes that were made with Swing, where there are too many assumptions that all platforms work the same - so things like Mac's screen menu bar had to be fit in after the fact by Apple using awkward hacks. (I notice that now even popular Linux distros (Ubuntu) are using the screen menu bar concept, though they have managed to fit that into the window manager in such a way that it didn't seem to cause much problems.)

  • Lack of Migration support for 6.0 & 10g users

    Hi,
    One of the 1st things we wanted to do with the beta as an existing customer is to validate migrating a project from our existing Production version (6.0) to 11g.
    While the import appears to work, opening any imported diagram throws an XML parsing exception.
    After raising an SR, it turns out that migrating from previous versions is unsupported until 11gR2.
    This puts me in a tricky spot as one of the main business drivers to adopt 11g is product upgrade.
    I am very surprised to see existing customers nt being catered for in the new version, as running multiple versions in Prod is not a realistic option for most.
    Backwards compatability is therefore very important to the existing user base!
    So, questions for Oracle:
    1. Can you please reconsider the lack of migration support for R1?
    2. if this feature cannot be working for R1, what is the expected release date (even if its just a quarter) for R2?
    3. To save my time, is there a list of what other features are not for going to be available in the Beta / R1 release?
    As a Beta tester my time is precious, and I need to know what I can expect to work, rather than report issues only to then find out that its not supported...
    Thanks,
    Ian
    .

    Hi Ian,
    You are right in the sense that upgrade will be supported in BPM 11gR2. More specifically, the upgrade will support OBPM 10gR3 to BPM 11gR2. Customers in older versions of OBPM and ALBPM will need to upgrade to OBPM 10gR3 before attempting the upgrade to BPM 11gR2. To upgrade to OBPM 10gR3, there are a series of pointers in our documentation on how to do this. I can explicitly provide links if you are interested in this mandatory upgrade before moving to BPM 11g.
    As per the reason for not being able to support upgrade in this first version of BPM 11g, it simply boils down to time to create the new unified BPM platform which in itself is a major undertake from an Engineering perspective. Once the foundation is complete (this is the objective for BPM 11gR1), we will start working on completing the delta to upgrade OBPM 10gR3 projects to BPM 11gR2 as best as possible. There is a document we have been sharing with customers with Best Practices for implementing OBPM 10gR3 projects with idea of an upgrade to BPM 11g. We do have significant knowledge on some pieces that we will be able to automate from a migration perspective and some others that will be hard to upgrade. If you are interested in this document, we can provide this to you.
    If you have any other questions, please let me know. I would be more than happy to assist with migration questions with the most up to date knowledge I have on this front.
    Regards,
    eduardoc.

  • I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or Flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching it and replacing it with a competitors product

    I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching an expensive toy for a competitors product that offers full business functionallity. Is there any way round this ? It seems extremely bad form on apples part not to support this or make it very clear of the products limitations at the time of purchase.

    Well, my bank has an app but the website does not use Flash or Java.  While my credit union doesn't have an app, their website doesn't require Flash or Java either.
    I pay all my bills online, bank, and access my brokerage accounts.  None of the sites I have encountered require Flash or Java.  Some government sites do require Flash so I use Photon, it's a browser that does Flash content very well.  So you might check out some alternatives browsers.
    Otherwise I suppose you will either dump you bank, your iPad, or just not do online banking.

    I have been the IT field for 8+ years, I deal with customers on a daily basis. I have never in my life seen this kind of business practice, of A) a company not standing behind their products & work and B) supporting the customers issues after the fact. I understand I am a lowly MP3 owner, but I have always purchased creative products, I've got 2 sound cards running in my pc's here at home. I've purchased speakers, this mp3 player, referred my father in law to purchase a similar mp3 player from creative, bought my brother the same mp3 player. This whole exprience has put a bad taste in my mouth and to see that there are quite a few others are having the same issue makes me sick...
    P.S. sorry for being so long winded in this, I know its alot to read, I tried to cut out the non-essential stuff in the emails I posted but I still can't believe my player is junk now after a failed firmware update.

    A quick question: When you try to reset the unit, is it connected to the charger? If yes, OK you say it's dead, so no screen display, BUT, can you hear if the hard dri've is spinning? I think it's very unlikely that a firmware upgrade process would have any chance of physically killing a unit altogether.
    Another thing to check - is the battery firmly located in place? You can remove the front cover to access the battery compartment.
    Hibbs
    Yes - that is correct, I have been trying to reset the unit with it connected to AC power via the charger...No you cannot hear the harddri've spinning. Yes the firmware can kill the unit, not "physically" but it has logically shut down the unit to where it will not power up. The battery is firmly seated...Just as a side note, when I tried the original firmware upgrade the unit was plugged into the charger as well, so I know there were no power outages etc during the attempted upgrade.

  • Lack of Tech Support and inferior product

    So tired of this lack of tech support for the G2. I'm on my second one. First one had a headphone jack issue that caused the mic to stop working, now this one is doing that, and to top it off I've had to do 3 factory resets in order to send picture messages. Fed up with this.

    Headphone jack is basically shorting out the phone. This is a refurbished "like new" one and I've only had it a month maybe.  The first phone I had replaced on the warranty. If you barely moved it, it would register as you having unplugged the headphones. Eventually it got to the point where the microphone wouldn't work either. So people could talk to me, but I couldn't talk to them. I've tried multiple headphones and auxiliary cords, they all do the same thing. I've googled the problem and it's a known issue with this phone, at least know by the customers, perhaps not acknowledged by LG.
    Picture messaging is working for now, after my second or 3rd factory reset, this is also a known issue, I've gather from perusing the forums. Supposedly a glitch in the new OS. Hear there is talk of a fix in September or August.....I only use the native app to text pictures. I tried sending with data turned off and wi fi on, with data on and wifi off, and with both data and wifi on, and it refuse to compress the picture.

  • New Mac Mini, Not so new LCD HDTV Monitor, no mac support

    I have been attempting to set up a Mac Mini with a Maxent LCD 26" HD TV I can't get either the RGB or DVI-D input to accept signal. I have purchased DisplayConfigX and SwitchResX_X.

But still only am able to see the screen until gear starts spinning with apple logo, resolution changes spontaneously to one that I suppose is unsupported and I get the unsupported display and a beautiful blank blue screen. I tried manually inputting the resolutions the monitor manual lists, while connected with an lcd pc monitor. But I can't get the Maxent LCD TV monitor to stay on. It appears that if I could get the Mac Mini to send this resolution signal to the Maxent I would be able to delete any unneeded settings and that would be it.
    Perhaps Tom Fussy can help me.I have been at this for over two weeks now. So I have become super frustrated. Of course Maxentusa.com offers no Mac support. But state that if Mac mini is supposed to work with PC that it should work with my Mac Mini. My LCD TV is about 6 months old I could still return it for maybe a Sharp Aquos, if that $300 dollar more TV would work. I am happy with the Maxent otherwise. Keeping it, and having it work with Mac Mini Is my choice. Of course Apple offers no support for the Maxent monitor and directed me here. This is my first discussion group post. School me if I have not followed the rules completely.

    I was able to get the settings for Maxent using Gregory's software to force 640x480. Here are my settings

  • Non existent mac support

    I have three major problems - i have to restart safari twice a day cos it slows to a crawl, i have to reboot my mac at least once a day, and snow leopard defaults to mac email but i use gmail. i have set up support calls with mac support, which i pay for, and get the callback which says calls are answered in the order received and then tell me i am on hold for ten minutes. Is Apple becoming Microsoft? And since Apple no longer provides support, how do I stop the ongoing "callbacks" which always put me on hold. I run a business. Should I go back to Microsoft and Dell for non existent support?
    Safari = memory leak? not enough cache? problems with snow?

    mhh.. when i phone apple care, i wait my 10 minutes and have someone on the line who will try to help me. don't see where the problem is, as i'm not the only person who calls them.
    you could try to delete safari's cache, if the browser gets slower. it's an option in the safari menu. also, if safari's generally to slow for you, you can easily try other browsers like chrome, opera or firefox.
    why do you have to reboot your mac once a day? does it freeze? or kernel panic?
    as for SL defaulting to mac email instead of gmail... i don't get it. Sl has it's own mail client. there you can setup your gmail account as POP3 or IMAP account and the mail client will send and load mails only from this account. but the same here as for safari. if you don't like apples mail client, install another one like thunderbird.

    It's the default sort order. You can choose chronological order( ascending or descending) or by Import batch or by filename. Contrary to older versions, those sort orders are available not only in thumbnail view, but also in Folders view and albums. In albums you can sort as you like 'custom order'. No difference in Mac or Win.
