What's your setup with the Zen Tou

I've had my Zen Touch for a couple of months and so far so good - only two freezes and thats all.
I've been using WMP0 to organise my music and rip tracks from CD's, but have used Creative mediasource to transfer everthing over to the touch.
Big problem is that my library in WMP0, which is up to date and complete, is way ahead of my library in Mediasource. Before i added more music i made sure that media sniffer was enabled, and pointing towards my music folder. It picked up some artists that i added a few days ago, but anything within the last two days is yet to appear. About 0GB of CD ripped mp3's were added, so im wondering if its the volume of music which mediasource has to add in to its library which is the problem.
I eventually got this problem sorted, by creating a playlist in WMP0 of all tracks and loading it into the library in mediasource. (The import tracks function kept freezing in mediasource) This new playlist was imported into a new/clean library in mediasource.
Basically i have a pretty much updated lib in mediasource now, but i have some questions;
a) I could have sworn that i got the touch to appear in the sync part of WMP0, but everytime i plug the touch into the cable wmp0 freezes while trying to search for devices. I've tried a couple of different techniquees to get this to work;
. Load mediasource-> Plug in Touch (Loads lib)-> Load WMP0-> Searches but then freezes
2. Load WMP0-> Plug in Touch-> Searches but then freezes
3. Plug in touch first with no programs running-> Touch doesn't dock
I'm pretty sure i used the st technique before, which worked ok but doesn't seem to anymore.
b)Until i created a new library in mediasource, the program was duplicating entries of around a /4 of my entire music collection. I've always used WMP0 to rip tracks, rather than mediasource so im clueless to why these tracks became duplicated.
Thats about it, these problems are temporaly sorted for now - i have all my music on the touch, but after hours of battling with WMP0 and mediasource in particular. Hopefully with new firmware i can stick to WMP0, but im curious to how other zen touch users connect, organise and transfer their music libraries.

Correct on the MP3gain.
RealPlayer 0.5 (free version) works great with the Touch. You'll need to install a plug-in. Very simple to setup.

Creative, Is it worth it? (i.e. whats your experience with the Zen 16gb) and Firmware questi

After doing a sizable amount of research on the Creative Zen 6gb MP3 player, I was relati'vely comfortable with the product and decided to purchase it.
However, after browsing this forum for a few hours, I see quite a few things that trouble me about Creative in general:
"Real person" my (CENSORED) -horrible customer support
Creative Expects 3rd Quarter Loss, Sells HQ Building?
Message to Daniel_K -lack of product support/customer relations
and a countless number of other posts about hardware and software issues with the Zen
I really like the features built into the MP3 player (FM transmitter, voice recorder, Equalizer) and do not want to sell my soul to Ipod.
That being said, I wanted to see if there was anyone on this forum that actually liked their Zen and did not have issues with it.
I would greatly appreciate your positi've feedback as I hope that I will not have to spend countless more hours searching for and then researching a different MP3 player that fits my needs.
In addition, I was curious about the user interface on the Zen. I know that it uses ID3 tagging and that a folder directory cannot be used to view mp3s on the player (unless this has been added in a firmware update?, however I checked the site and did not see anything about this addition). How impeding is this ID3 tagging reliance if about 00 to 500 of my mp3s have incorrect tagging? as in, will I go crazy trying to retag everything because all I see if "Unknown" for all the data?
Yeah, that's about it for my long winded post...
Thanks,
Joe?

Just return from Mexico and found my Zen 4 GB player missing from a light finger baggage handler. I would not even consider, in a thousand years, of purchasing from the "fruit company" their overprice Ipod without a FM receiver. The Creative Zen rocks. Need I say more.

What Model EarPhones come with the Zen Micro Limited & "Lite" Edition(

http://creative.com/products/welcome.asp?category=437
can anyone please identify them for me?
limited edition (one that comes with wall charger, case, etc.)?
second edition (one that comes with only the player and min. accesories)?

I bought the limited edition Zen Micro back in december, which came with:
- Zen Micro with Battery
- The standard white earphones
- usb cable
- wall adapter
- hard case (with belt clip and desk stand)
- Extra battery
- Pouch
- Installation CD-Rom
The new Zen Micro's (4GB and 6 GB, 5GB still has extra accesoiries) come with:
- Zen Micro with Battery
-The standard white earphones
- usb cable
- Installation CD-Rom
If you buy a 5GB new Zen Micro, it will still come with:
- Zen Micro with Battery
-The standard white earphones
- usb cable
- wall adapter
- hard case (with belt clip and desk stand)
- Pouch
- Installation CD-Rom
(so there is no extra battery or remote)Message Edited by gijsdvm on 0-02-2005 :04 PM

What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?

What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?
Are these the same as software product keys, or just some pieces of paper the company needs to have on hand?
In which case, when we install SQL Server 2014, (and when looked for videos) - there is only 1 product key value to be put in, is there some other screen in the setup to input the License bought ( in our case will be Core licenses).
So in addition to the Core Licenses do will a Product key be needed? Would product key from an msdn work, as it is the licenses that we will buy to indicate that we bought to run the software on server X?
Thanks for any indications.

I will answer your question point wise
1. Keeping license key is good idea it helps you during audit and you have proof that you are using a valid Microsoft License. Plus in scenario of disaster where whole box gets damanged you might need to install SQL Server again in that case during
reinstallation on setup page where you need to enter key you might need need it. If you are missing your paper then you are in trouble.
2. Only on product key page license key is required and it is not required anywhere else during installation. Unless you enter valid product key installation will not proceed further.
3 License makes you a valid owner of Microsoft product with restrictions on how much hardware resource you can use how much max connections you can make etc. Key lets you install it on Windows machine making sure that you are using valid Microsoft product.
This was just a general idea please speak to your licensing specialist for more details. This is technical forum and we generally ask user to speak to licensing expert for such queries.

I've decided to go with the Zen Touch. Any advi

hey guys, through all the research, i've decided to go with the zen touch 20gb (unless i find out what price the 40 will be sold at). Anyway, I'm planning on getting one by the end of the week. Anyone have any advice on first things to do? are there any upgrades or downloads i should get right off the bat? by any chance are there any nuances that the player has that it would be important to know? any common problems that there is a way of avoiding? any information would be great. im getting it from amazon.com for 99, well that is unless i can find an actual store that actually carries it, which im sure i wont. im excited...thanks guys.

Since the player is very new, there havn't been any updates for the firmware, if that's what you're wondering. I personally don't own a Touch, rather, I have an Xtra, but basically just follow the instructions on the installation manual (usually tells you to charge the device for x amount of hours, how to connect the device to your computer, install the included software, etc).
The only thing that is notable about the Touch is that when you first get it, the touchpad takes a while to get used to... or so I've heard.
Oh, and someone found the 40GB version at http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/...asp?dpno=65048
Dunno if this is for real or not though

Any perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro?

I'm still not sure if to go for the new Macbook Pro 2.8 ghz, or the 6 months earlier 2.5 ghz model (march 2008).
I love to go for the new Macbook Pro, but I'm not sure about my setup. Now I have:
- extern 7200 rpm bus powered LaCie firewire 800 hard drive
- Saffire with firewire 400 (thinking about moving to Apogee Duet)
Will the express card really help? I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400? Also that a bus powered hard drive doesn't work, and that it needs it's own power to run with the express card?
Bottom line:
What would be the perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro? I gladly invest in a different audio interface (or anything else) if it really fits and works as pro audio setup!

I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400?
I don't think this is right. As I understand it, the advantage of having one of your devices on an express card slot is specifically so it is on its own bus.
Then both devices will operate on their own speed.
However, this is true for the older model Macbook Pros when you use both FW ports that are built in, because even though the machine has two ports, they each feed one firewire bus. So if you have a device plugged into each port, the one plugged into the 800 will only run at 400 speed because they're both on the same bus. Using an express card means both devices can operate at their own speed.
If you want the newer machine I think you should get it. Then you can buy a firewire 400 express card, plug your interface into that, and plug your FW 800 drive into the main firewire port. This will give you better performance from your peripherals than an older machine with both devices plugged into the built in FW ports.
Good Luck!

What can be done with the fingerprint reader?

I am trying to figure out simply what I can do with the fingerprint reader on the T400. I understand how to use it to log into the computer. My main question is whether or not I can use the fingerprint reader in the following contexts, and if so how.
1a) To log into internet password protected websites. When I use IE, the password manager pops up and prompts me to save a password. If I save it, I can return to that website and it automatically will enter the login information and password for me. I want to know whether you can have password manager (or another program) prompt the user for the fingerprint and then submit the login information. That way the information is protected each time I log in, but I do not need to enter log in information each time, only a fingerprint.
1b) If this is possible in IE8, I would like to know if it is possible in Firefox 3, in which password manager does not pop up.
2) Can it be used to log into MS Outlook.
3) Can it be used to lock documents in MS Word.
I much appreciate any information letting me know if these can be done, and if so, how to do them. Thank you very much for your help!

After playing with it for a while I figured out at least questions 1a) and 1b). For anyone else who has the same questions:
1a) Have your browser save the password using Lenovo's Password Manager. Then open password manager and open that item. Click the advanced tab and change the security level to custom. Click "Customize Security Policy" and select "Protect with a Fingerprint."
1b) Lenovo has a patch to synch Password Manager with firefox 3. It can be found here and is much easier than the manual fixes found on this forum.

from : OS X Beta Seed Program FAQ
How do I get a shipping version of OS X back on my Mac?
To get a shipping release of OS X on your Mac, you can simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update.
How do I leave the OS X Beta Seed Program?
To leave the program, visit the Leave Program page and follow the instructions to remove your Apple ID and your computers from the OS X Beta Seed Program. This will stop pre-release updates from appearing in the Mac App Store on your computers.
You only need to do more than you already have, if you'd rather not see future pre-release updates.

Java update (3 days ago) won't let me play yahoo games anymore. I've tried moving java security to Medium and adding web address as "permissive use". Still nothing. I'd really like a fix. Really, apple? What's your beef with yahoo games?

Installed Java update three days ago. Now, can't play yahoo games as it's now blocked by security settings. Already have tried moving Java security to Medium and adding yahoo.games.com (including web address of game) as a "Permissive exception". Also tried removing java and installing older version. Still nothing. Really Apple?!? What's your beef with yahoo games?

csnorth,
all of the older update versions of Java SE 7 can be found here. If 7u45 also didn’t work with your Yahoo! games, you can choose from any of the even older versions there as well.

What's your opinion on the search function on the NI website?

Hi all NI web goers:
I give 1.5 of 5 stars to NI's search function. Most of the times I got very frustrated when searhing NI's website. It returns a lot of entries for my search, but either none of them are relevant, or there are about 10 duplicate links to the same page, and multiply that by the # of unique links you get, well, you get the idea.
So, what's your opinion on the search function offered by the NI website?

With the camera connection kit you're able to plug in regular SD cards with one adapter, while the second adapter does include a USB port to plug your camera in. I just remember reading that "most cameras" are compatible.

If you did not receive a returns bag with your new Brightbox you will get one in the post in the next week or so. You just need to put the old livebox in the bag and pop it in the post.

I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR. I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the WB as it is importing photos. I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB. Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB. Your advise is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you.

Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

What is going on with the SPAM filtering?

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
What is going on with the SPAM filtering? Works fine for a couple of weeks then suddenly I got slammed with tons of SPAM for a few hours then suddenly the filtering kicks in again. Usually happens late at night and clears up in the morning. Never had this problem until just a couple months ago. It's gotten so bad that I'm about to move everything over to gmail and just stop using Verizon, would rather not do that as I've had the same e-mail address since the Bell Atlantic days.
