What's up with the missing adapter in the new zen mi

I know that Creative is a corporation... and that they are in it mainly for profit... but you guys at Creative need to stop being cheap and put the ac adaptor back into the creative zen micro package... I know apple doesn't include one... but the hell with apple, your Creative... charging your computer with a USB port... especially on a device that has to be charged every night (If you wanna copy something from apple, copy the battery life) is extremely inconvenient... and to add insult to injury, you don't even have enough of a supply of adaptors to fill the increased demand for them.

Others would probably disagree. Now that the 5 gig micro is under $200 without the adapter, it seems much more popular than when it was at $250 with the adapter. There is no excuse for not having enough adapters to meet the demand though. I see that they are still unavailable.

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I hide old podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and What's Up with the New Podcast Pane?

    FIrst of all, I'm having fits with this "new" way of managing podcasts.
    For years, I have managed the podcasts on my iPod (and now my iPhone 5) by manually syncing the device with my subscribed podcasts in iTunes. I have iTunes set to download the most recent episode of each of my podcasts and to keep all episodes until I delete them. Some podcasts I listen to or view only my MacBook Pro and I don't sync these to my iPhone. This has worked fine for years.
    I moved to Apple's dedicated Podcasting app when I purchased my iPhone 5 earlier this year, but I maintained the manual syncing as I had done, using the app only to play the podcasts, not to subscribe to or download them.
    I upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 to iOS 7 on launch day and downloaded iTunes 11.1 to my MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. The iOS upgrades went flawlessly for both of my devices, but iTunes has been a problem. It was sluggish when I first opened it, with lots of spinning beach balls. When I opened it for the first time, I went to the Podcast section and to my list of podcasts. They all now had "Subscribe" buttons by each of them (I was already subscribed to the podcasts in iTunes before the update). I assumed that I had to click the buttons to activate subscriptions in iTunes, but low and behold I discovered that it subscribed my iPhone 5's podcast app to ALL of the podcasts in my list (even ones that I don't put on the iPhone). It also started DOWNLOADING all of the episodes of these podcasts to my iPhone which, had I let it continue, would have eaten all of my bandwidth on Verizon for the month (and then some), plus the iPhone would have been filled up long before it could finish downloading the episodes.
    I managed to get the iPhone's Podcast app to stop downloading these episodes, then I manually deleted all of the podcasts that didn't belong on the iPhone. I then had to go through all of the podcasts in the app and click a yellow box that said they hadn't been updated and wouldn't resum updating until I clicked the box.
    Then I went back to iTunes 11.1, where I discovered that ALL the podcast episodes for my subscriptions that are still available for download in their feeds were now listed (2,000+ episodes), with previously listened-to episodes now showing with a cloud download icon next to them. Even more frustrating, I can't delete these from iTunes even though I've already listened to them and, even more frustratingly, the "Subscribe" button remains by each podcast in the list.
    All I want to do is remove these previously-listened to podcasts from my lists, remove the subscribe buttons (since I'm already subscribed in iTunes), and continue to manually sync my iPhone's podcasts with iTunes as before. What do I have to do to make this happen? And if these are new "features" of the new iTunes, please share with your team that, while there are many who update wirelessly over their cell carrier's bandwidth, others of us don't have the capability (or desire) to do things this way and we want to switch this off and return to the "old" way of doing things.
    Any ideas on how to fix iTunes 11.1 to return to the old way of doing things would be greatly appreciated!

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • What's wrong with the New  iMac's AirPort?

    Hello
    Last night I spent 4 hours trying to connect with my brand new wireless router (Netgear DG834PN). The one time I did connect and tried to configure using Netgear's Wizard (using Safari) my Mac's AirPort Extreme dropped the connection, never to return. The next 3hrs 55mins were spent trying to to get the two devices to connect. Unsuccessfully. Very frustrating!
    I even tried connecting the two devices via ethernet, and still no joy. What should I do? Is my new Mac's Built-in AirPort Extreme faulty? Is my new wireless router faulty? Any other testing suggestions welcome.
    I've have read, on this forum, about possible problems with the new aluminium iMac's AirPort. Is this a known fact or just a batch issue?
    *Many Thanks* (Apologies if I haven't explained myself very well, first post)
    Mike

    *Hi it's me again*
    Still no joy trying to connect to my router wirelessly via AirPort.
    *+(Xiaofan & Benderissimo)+* - I can't even get as far as logging into the router via a browser. AirPort literally can't see anything even thought it's switched on. This means I have no chance to change the channel or anything else. I'm stuck.
    Could AirPort be locked out or something?
    On the plus side I have connected to the internet via ethernet. It was no problem at all. I basically connected a length on Cat. 5 cable from port 1 at the back of the router and into my Mac, and *hey presto!* (broadband at full speed). Happy.
    The thing is I eventually want to move my iMac upstairs, this is when I need AirPort wireless to start working. I don't want to trail 100ft of Cat. 5 cable all round the house.
    What else can I try to make my built-in AirPort Extreme work?
    _*I'm Flummoxed, Apple help me.*_

  • Upgrade from EDGE 3.0 -- EDGE 3.1: What to do with the new SAP transports?

    Hello together,
    we upgraded our EDGE 3.0 System to EDGE 3.1.
    Also we upgraded the SAP integration kit.
    Everything seems to work fine.
    With the EDGE 3.1 Integration pack there are also new SAP transports included.
    Now there are a few questions. Hope someone can help me with this
    Do we have to import them?
    Can we still use the "old" transports already imported in SAP?
    Can we just "override" the "old" transports?
    Is there an performance improvement (especially with WebI) with the new transports?
    Thanks very much in advance!
    With kind regards
    Sebastian

    Ingo,
    If I do a fresh install of BOXI 3.1 Edge SP2...do I have to import the original transports or can I go directly to the SP2 "version" of the transports?
    Thanks.

  • Problems with the new Zen Touch Firmw

    I'm getting the opposite of the problems other users I read about have with the new firmware: I DON'T want to use MediaSource further but my computer doesn't recognise my Zen Touch as an external hard disk (or Audio Player or anything else I can just drag and drop my music). MediaPlayer is recognising it and on my fathers computer it aso worked.
    What should also be said: Right after installing the new firmware it worked but one day later my computer denied doing the same thing as the day before...
    I'm quite desperate and I hope you can help me soon.

    somebody help me.....just doaloading the latest zen touch firmware and Bang....computer crashed, and the fimware that was on the zen deleted...now i can't update no kind of firmware...sys the there?s no device, but in my computer says that exists one zen...

  • What's wrong with the new forum design.

    Thought I'd kick off the list here.
    1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.
    2. Status stays hidden unless checked, making it hard on both newbies and those trying to help them
    3. No advanced search (that I can find) I've given up even trying to look, and users aren't even aware of it
    4. Difficult to see what you have or haven't replied to
    5. Can't see very far back in the threads
    6. Huge waste of space on useless quote bubbles
    7. Trying to edit your own settings takes you round in circles
    8. Where is the forum how-to and guide?
    9. Absurd to ask users to search without a suggested list to work from, the Pages iPad users are constantly landing in the wrong forum
    10. I hate the default of sending email advisories and Safari messages of answers in the forum. My Mail Inbox is inundated and I am getting constant pop-ups interrupting my work on my Mac.
    …many more but I'd like to let others add to the list
    BTW I give 2 thumbs up to the improved post formatting options, but that was a long overdue catch up to other forums.

    Don't have time to answer all of this, but here's a start...
    1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.
    Useful when they've come up with the correct answer themselves. (OPs can't award themselves points, though.)
    3. No advanced search (that I can find)

  • What's up with the new Safari? I've done all the "tips". Still slow!

    I've tried all these prophylactic measures and read an hour's worth of articles about the new Safari (Version 5.0, 5533.16 apparently). But it gets stuck on even the most basic of Internet pages.
    Safari used to load eBay, Associated Content, TED, YouTube, Craigslist, StumbleUpon, etc. in mere SECONDS. Now all I see is a loading bar that gets stuck about 1/16 (just past the www....) in the loading process.
    Yeah, I've cleared the cookies and cache and all the whatnots. I'm not a computer genius but I can tell something is going on. Is Apple keeping a secret record of everything I do or what? Seriously, this is frustrating!
    To summarize:
    I used to pop open Safari and get my homepage, www.google.com, in less than one second. Now I get a blank page that gets stuck, takes about thirty seconds, and then finally finds its way.
    What can I REALLY do to make my new Safari work like it used to?
    Or, how can I get the old version of Safari back?
    And I've tried Firefox and other browsers, but they're messy and not as clean as my ol' Safari used to be. What's happening here?
    I'm not impatient, I just can tell that something wrong is going on. And I'd like to fix it.

    Hi there!
    Thanks for heads up. My Macbook says I'm running 10.5.8 right now.
    The steps I've taken:
    I deleted the weird web icons document (I think it was a .dlb or .lb or something in the Library folder for Safrari in my hardrive) which didn't seem to do much, and I've went to my Safari preferences and deleted all ma' cookies, changes my cookie preferences to "only accept from sites I visit" and I've done the "delete cache" option from the Safari menu as well as the "reset Safari" option (which I regularly do anyway 'cause it seems to keep things moving quickly). I've also restarted my computer a couple of times, usually after completing one of these suggestions.
    I'm using my computer from home on a wireless router thing from Netgear with super-high-speed way-too-expensive broadband Internet from our local provider, Charter. It's called a Negear Wireless Rangemax Router. I've never had a problem with it before, and 3-4 people use the Internet here at my home, often simultaneously, without difficulty.
    I'm gonna' try pluggin' in the ethernet cable now. Thanks! I appreciate it!
    --- I will say, after climbing up on a wobbly chair and plugging my laptop into the cable directly, that it worked a bit faster, but it still got "stuck" (which is what I'm now officially calling this phenomenon). For example, Google loaded in about five seconds instead of ten, and Safari generally responded better to random clicking around on links, but this page got "stuck" at "http://disc..." for quite a while (well, longer than your average modern day computer, I'd say; it still felt like I was on my old Powerbook) and then diddled around a while, until I refreshed the page and it loaded almost instantly.
    I noticed, too, that the biggest problem it seems to have is loading new web pages that I don't visit frequently. For example, I'll search "Leo Tolstoy" on Google, click on the Wikipedia page, and it just stops! The blue loading bar gets to about "http://en.wiki..." and then it just plain stops. Just a few days ago, it would breeze along with super fast speed.
    Thanks again. I appreciate your feedback!
    Something fishy is going on, for sure.

  • What's up with the new pricing?

    Why isn't DVD Studio Pro being sold as a stand alone product? As an owner of DVD Studio Pro 3.0 I was looking forward to upgrading to the universal binary version of DVD Studio Pro 4.0 or 5.0 and now the only way I can do that is to pay for a $1300 box full of programs I don't need. What's up? Why would Apple price DVD Studio Pro out of reach?

    This is most certainly for real.
    Apple conducted a survey - many folks here got invitations to participate - and one of the conclusions from it was that most people who work with the Pro Apps use at least FCP and at least one other app. So Apple feels that it makes 'sense' to sell the apps as Final Cut Studio only since the user base is, predominantly, folks who are one-stop shops (in that they edit, do graphics, process audio, then author DVDs).
    You're apparently an exception, Lee, but I don't know anyone personally who uses DVD Studio Pro and who doesn't own at least FCP as well.
    That being said, I can understand your frustration, since there is no path from DVDSP3.

  • What's Up With the New iTunes Layout?

    Ok, so I have been having problems figuring out this new layout. I used to love browsing through all the various iTunes Essentials albums. But now I can't find where I can browse all of them, only the selected ones they put on the essentials homepage. So what am I missing? Is there some trick to browsing all of the albums or has this been removed? Thanks for the help. And Steve, please don't change iTunes again for awhile, I am too old to keep relearning all this.
    ~Rocky

    Yea, I get that but they only have like three sections. New and Newsworthy, and two others they change right now they are Mardi Gras and Old Friends. They used to list like a hundred or more essential albums. I remember seeing stuff like Black Metal Essentials and 60's Protest Essentials. Did they remove many of those albums?
