When is creative labs going to get to work on a new driv

This sh|t is insane. All these complaints with xfi and vista 64, no new driver, not even a beta.
Time to take the donuts out of your mouths and get to work. chop chop!

Well there is one good thing that has come from all this and that is that almost every review you read of the new cards from other brands highlight everyones complaints about the total crap drivers and lack of communication from Creative. They are one step away from losing the total monopoly on PC sound. Without that, they would be out of business. Logitech kicks their ass in speakers/mice and now we just need someone to hit a homerun on the sound opportunity that Creative has given them. It's not like EAX 5.0 is worth a **bleep** anyway - only a few games support it and those are only ones where Creative has gone in and written it for the game, and paid for they splash logo. I turn off EAX in every game for stability. Gee, wonder why that's unstable too?

When is this phone going to get fixed?

What is going to be done for us customers who have bought this phone? When is it going to get fixed?
This phone has had issues since day one for a lot of us. Many of us are outside the 14-day return period so many of us are up a creek when it comes to returning the phone for another phone. Including myself.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. The phone is a great phone, I love the featureset and I love the LTE network. Many of us wouldn't want to go back to a non-LTE phone including myself.
We know that Gingerbread is coming soon and that with it comes a promised fix for all these issues, including a fix for the dropping signal issue which has to be the biggest issue that all of us Droid Charge users are having. All we ask is when we can expect this to be released to us. A lot of the older phones are getting Gingerbread before this phone. Why? This phone is new, shouldn't we expect it to be the first phone on the block to get Gingerbread? It only makes sense to have this phone get Gingerbread before every other phone.
It is after all, Verizon's "flagship" phone. The one that Verizon is marketing the heck out of on television and the Internet with their "Rule the Air" commercials.
Some say that Gingerbread is being held up by Samsung because of issues with the new TouchWiz. Personally, I don't care about the new TouchWiz. Release the update without the new TouchWiz and get these immediate issues fixed then release a point-1 upgrade with the new TouchWiz when it's ready for release.

Dear trparky,
I can understand your frustration, although I am one of the seeming lucky minority of Charge owners that have relatively few problems with the phone. I live in a 3G only area, but occasionally travel into 4G-NYC for meetings and have not experienced the switching/dropping problems that many others complain of. Based on your location, I am guessing you have 4G in your area, but can't take full advantage because of the switching/dropping problem.
I would not count too heavily on the next iteration of the OS to solve the problem. As far as I know, no one has definitively identified the source of the issue; it could be software, but it could also be the hardware in the phone, most possibly the radios or the antenna (remember the iPhone "death grip" problem?).
I hope Android 2.3.x is released soon and that it solves the problem. But I would not count on either of those things too much.

What is the best way to hook up my Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 sound system to my new iMac?

We recently purchased a 27" iMac and want to use our Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 sound system with it. How do we make this connection to get the most out of the sound system?

If I am not mistaken, your 5.1 came with 3 plugs that are meant to go into a regular PC. If that's the case, you should have received a Y like cable, that connects any none channeled sound source, like an iMac, and helps distribute it as 5.1. But they also make a curious USB device to help connect it.

An outboard audio device, if you really want to get the max out of your 5.1.
Unfortunately that is a Windows only device:
System Requirements
Minimum System Requirements
Microsoft ® Windows ® 7, Windows Vista ®, Windows XP (Professional x64 Edition, Service Pack 2 or above)
So it won't work.

Help! Can't get to restore on a new drive

I used Time Machine to make a complete backup of my MacBook on an external hard drive and everything went very smoothly. I only had about 32GB of used space when I did the backup. I then removed the 120GB hard drive and installed a 320GB drive as the DIY manual said to and it was very easy to get it swapped out.
I then turned on my computer with the Install DVD and used the Utilities menu to restore my system from a backup. It recognized my external drive I had put my backup on, recognized my backup just fine from earlier today, and then I went to the next screen and it calculated the amount of space it would need. Once it finished with that, it sat at the screen trying to search for the drive to restore to and didn't do anything. Could I have not pressed the drive in all the way? The bracket went on just fine and I didn't have any problems with it. I suppose it could be a bad drive but I don't think it is. Does it just take a really long time to recognize which drive (the internal one) to restore to?
Any ideas as to what is wrong here? I really need to get this restored and then partitioned to install Windows on it as well to get some research done on it tomorrow.

I waited for 30 minutes and then said forget it. I went through disk utility, created 1 partition and named it Macintosh HD, and now I'm waiting for it to erase with one pass of writing 0's as this was suggested in another thread for a new drive. I have another hour until that finishes and then I'll see if I can get it to restore completely and recognize the drive. If it doesn't show up after that, then I'll definitely do the normal install and then restore my data from the time machine backup.
This has been a bigger hassle than I would have liked but hopefully it will get me what I need. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help in both threads V.K.

How to get things working after External Hard Drive Died

I had all of my iMovie videos (about 800 GB) on an external drive that died. Fortunately it was backed up to another external drive using Time Machine. I bought a new drive and couldn't figure out how to restore using Time Machine so i transfered the files manually using Finder. The transfer was successful, but now the movies do not appear in the iMovie event library. How do I get iMovie to work with the new external hard drive. The drive itself appears in the Event Library window, but none of the movies do. Then I also need to figure out how to back up the movies again to Time Machine. When it looks to do it now, it wants to duplicate the moveis which exceeds the Time Machine hard drive capacity (2TB). Thanks!!

For you to see them in iMovie, the Events need to be in a folder called iMovie Events. This folder must be at the top level of the drive.
Move it there and restart iMovie, and you should see them.

I can´t get @ to work at my new Mac mini

Hi
I just bought and installed everything on my new Mac Mini 2012 from my old iMac and I chose Swedish as my language.
My OS is Mavericks
I also connected my apple keyboard and everything works OK.
Except that when I try to write a e-mail.
I can´t write @ instead a get "TM" from holding down the alt-key and the other key (nr 2 key)
The keyboard works perfect with my old iMac.
Does anybody have a clue what I should do to get @ to work.
Maybe a Swede will know what happened ?
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Hans
Ps. This was not written from my Mac mini :-)

You need go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and use the plus and add buttons to activate the Swedish Pro keyboard and then select that one in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen. Apple keyboards are printed with the Swedish Pro layout (and not the "Swedish" one).

Cannot get OS X installed on new drive!

I have totally exhausted my bag of tricks. My MacBook slowed to a crawl suddenly and has become completely unusable. It's symptoms fit that of a bad hard drive. I have bought a new WD Blue 1TB and tried to do internet recovery several times. A few times it has hung up on the partitioning process. The times I had been able to successfully partition, I start the reinstallation process and leave it running. After a few days or so it makes no progress and the remaining time keeps growing. Okay.... So I come up with an OS X lion bootable DVD (It is a mid 2012 MacBook Pro and lion is what internet recovery tries to reinstall). I boot to it and I get a symbol with a strikethrough and the laptop turns off. I have came up with a couple different bootable mountain lion DVDs and it isn't detected as bootable media! What do I do next? I mean the laptop is 3 years old and I just can't believe this is all I am going to get out of it.... Any and all help/suggestions is very welcome and appreciated.

The MBP Retina 13" (which is what I assume you have) comes with a special build of OS X 10.8.1 installed. At the moment, an update to 10.8.2 is not available. Supposedly, Apple is working on one. Until it's released, you can't install FCP.
Can't update from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2: Apple Support Communities

When will creative labs become compatible with AAC fil

I've been using itunes to upload music and I wanted to know when creativelabs will be compatible with the itune friendly AAC files.

Time to rip this post apart.
<<I'll hand it to you for persistence, although I don't know why you CONTINUALLY try to disrupt a tech forum for Creative with pro-Apple BS.>>
Pro-Apple BS? How was pointing out that AAC is an open format pro-Apple? It's not. Don't make up things. All I did was point out that AAC is open and that it can be played on any OS, or any MPEG-4 compatible software or hardware.
<<AAC is a proprietary format. It is, as you should know, based on the audio specification for MPG4, which came out over 6 years ago. Dolby Labs controls the licensing of this format, the codec and the chips to decode and encode it. The fees are substantially higher than those for WMA, and of course, than MP3.>>
Stop getting your information from that post on Napster that I debunked MONTHS ago. I proved that wrong and you know very well that it's wrong. Anyway, Dolby does control the licensing for MPEG-4 AAC, yes. However, licensing fees are not anything like you or that Napster post said. I provided information back then, so you can go back and look for yourself, if you're still choosing to throw your money away on Napster. If licensing fees are so bad, then why are there so many freeware players that play AAC files? MPEG-4 AAC files! Why? Why can I download a FREE operating system (Linux), and use completely free software to rip and play AAC files? Exactly. iTunes is freeware you know. Why can I download it for free and rip and play AAC files? Surely Apple isn't going to front the bill for millions of people to use iTunes to just rip, organize, and play their music.
<<AAC is not the logical successor to MP3. If only WMA or AAC are considered, then WMA is the clear winner in that race. >>
How is WMA the clear winner? Besides the fact that WMA sounds noticably inferior at any bitrate.... Even HE-AAC mops the floor with WMA9 Pro at low bitrates. Anyway, how is WMA the clear winner? AAC compatible digital audio players control *90%* of the hard dri've market, 43% of the flash market, and a combined total of over *70%* of the entire market. Let's not forget that the number one online music store, which controls over 70% of the market, uses AAC as it's format of choice, and the next biggest online store behind very distant number 2 Napster is using AAC as well. Soon Napster will be launching a "music to go" rental service that targets ALL platforms. Can you guess the file format of choice? AAC
<<In fact, WMA9 Pro is under consideration for the next generation "CD" compression. This, along with DVD-A and SACD. Note there is nothing from Dolby under consideration at all. >>
hahahaha says who? Actually, since MPEG-4 is part of the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray specs, AAC is already part of the deal And, right now, SACD has the same market penetration that CD at the same point in it's lifetime. So SACD is well on it's way to becoming the "next CD". As it looks right now, SACD will become the CD format of "tomorrow", while the iTunes Music Store is handling the current "CD quality" music business just fine. As it stands though, honestly, it will be a combination of two things. SACDs for audiophiles, and iTunes-like downloads for everyone else.
Also, Dolby only handles the licensing portion of AAC. AAC was developed by a number of companies, including Sony. Sony has a stake in SACD, blu-ray, and any optical disc technology that comes out. So I can guarantee you that they will not let AAC die, even if it kills their precious atrac3/atrac3plus format.
And another thing to consider is that the recording industry wants a standard across all platforms for digtial music downloads. And considering 70% of the market is AAC compatible, and by the end of this year, a certain online music store will have passed over $b in total revenue, you can imagine which format will win.
<<Even assuming the original poster meant he wants to load non-DRM ("Fairplay") tracks on his Creative player, it will not likely happen so long as Apple is intent on blocking 3rd parties from using purchased iTunes songs on any other player.>>
What does iTunes purchased songs have to do with AAC files ripped from anyother source? Exactly. Using Apple is an excuse for companies to not support AAC. It's their loss though. If Creative would support AAC, they would have opened themselves up to the market of millions of people who do use iTunes and Real Player 0+ to rip their CDs.
<<It is unlikely Creative will spend the license money for a purpose so limited as self-ripped AAC files when there are other free alternati'ves to somebody ripping their own CD's.>>
How are AAC files limited? AAC files can be played and ripped on any platform. If you want to talk about limited, you have to look at WMA. It only works under one OS and only certain players can play it. And what free alternati'ves are there? MP3 licensing isn't free. WMA licensing isn't free. If you're selling a player for profit, you HAVE to pay for WMA and MP3 decoding capabilities.
<<AAC is a good-sounding compressed format, but for mass acceptance it will always remain a niche unless Apple opens things up and Dolby lightens up on their expesi've licensing.>>
Mass acceptance? AAC has already been accepted by the masses. Over 350 million songs sold in AAC, and 70% of the digital audio player market is AAC compatible. I think players that DON'T support AAC are currently in the niche market
<<Something good like Oog Voorbis has a better chance of becoming the successor to MP3, I think, and even that remains a niche at this point. >>
Ogg Vorbis will never replace MP3s. First off, the sound quality isn't as good as AAC. Secondly, Ogg Vorbis requires a processor with a FPU. FPU require more battery power, so battery life is affected significantly. And most importantly, there are no CONVENIENT Ogg Vorbis encoders. Not to mention Ogg Vorbis still has a lot of bugs that need worked out. They only recently worked out a bug that was causing significant high end distortion that greatly affected the sound quality of the files. Plus Ogg Vorbis has no DRM container.
Also, transcoding a file degrades the sound quality significantly.

When is Photoshop Elements going to get a pen tool added? Give us something useful instead all that Fancy Dan change.

The change from PSE 12 to 13 is not worth the bother. Give us something really good like a much needed "Pen Tool."

First let me tell you: I don't like it when people are?talking about Creative in such?an uncivil manner. So, I understand why you closed the first thread: 'Get a clue creative'?But I can't understand why you closed the second one as the author just quotet the frist one and transcribed his points into a somewhat more civil manner. You wrote: 'dsikic: When a thread is locked, it's not open for further discussion, including new threads. If you want to discuss a thread being locked, private message the moderator in question'?That's kind of unlogical, because the thread was closed because of the author beeing rude and attacking your company. But the points he wanted to discuss should be open for discussion in another thread if they are discussed without attacks or blames. As you often say: [color="#ff0000"]These forums are primarily intended for user interaction?So where's the problem with just letting the community react to such posts? By just closing these threads you won't make these people feel better or stop them from posting insults or other things like that against your company and your mod-team. Thanks for reading,?Stormblade?P.S.: I know beeing a mod isn't easy. I'm one myself

When is iMovie 08 going to get some new "add-on's?"

I am wondering when Apple is going to release more "add-ons" for iMovie 08. Some of us who are not "Savvy" to use the more complicated Final Cut Express/Pro or other programs, or have a nice wide wallet, would certainly appreciate more things to do in iMovie08. New transitions for one. I think they can elect to support something that they put in to their packages and not force their customers to go to a higher priced and more complicated program. That is my "two-cents" worth! Thank you! COME ON APPLE!

Have you tried iMovie HD6, the much better precursor to the lame iMovie 08? It is a free download to iLife 08 owners, you know. Then you can go and buy third party software from GeeThree (Slick) and have hundreds of different transitions, titles and effects.
You will never look back (or is it forward) to iMovie 08.

When is Creative Cloud going to be avaliable on the Domincan Republic?

I've been waiting to update to adobe CC almost a year an still nothing. Is there anything stopping Adobe from giving support on the country?

Hi IndustriasVyP,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA when Creative Cloud would be available in Colombia. I know we are working to make it available in more locations over time but don't have any kind of timeline or info about specific countries. For Muse we do have subscriptions for by itself already, so hopefully when Creative Cloud is available for you Muse would be too.

When are we (15") going to get the double click like the 17" and MacBook?

Thew new 17" and the MacBook have an option to double click by using two fingers on the trackpad. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if they used a new piece of trackpad for this. Where's our software update?
Completely unacceptable if us 15" owners are left in the dark.

Just got back from the store because this issue is
important to me.
Bitttch pleeezzzz.....
You mean to tell me that you actually went to the store because having a right click feature is "important" to you?
Now, I've seen a fair share of pathetic quotes here in these posts....but I'm not sure I've seen a more anal retentive, spoiled stoopid, "I can't get laid so I'll look for small issues to bittch about"-lame *** quote!
It used to be a pleasure to get on these posts to pick up a tip or two. Too bad people like you are bringing the content of these post down to the point where I no longer feel like reading any posts. I mean, if you have a problem, then post and someone will gladly help you. But taking the time to show the world just what kind of bittch you are only makes it harder to read posts without feeling like pile driving something to the ground. Jesus, it's not even 9am and I already feel like kicking your a s s.
If your goal was to irritate and **** off people, then you've succeded! Good job A-hole, now why don't you just die.
Love,
SX

Nano -- Can't Get it Working on a New Computer

My wife's Nano worked fine on my old computer, but I got a new computer and it's been a nightmare. I set up the new computer, and set up a new Ipod, which works great. I then tried to get my wife's Nano working...Iinstalled the old software on the computer, I entered the serial number, and said yes when it asked whether I wanted to associate this ipod with this machine. For a few minutes, I saw my wife's nano appear in iTunes. But then it told me that my library was too big to put all the songs on the Nano...when I hit cancel (intending to go back and check certain songs), things went downhill.
Now, the Nano just flashes "Do Not Disconnect" over and over, but the computer never recognizes it...the Nano doesn't appear in iTunes anymore, so I can't eject it. I've tried resetting the nano, restoring the software, turning off the computer, pressing "menu" and select for 10 seconds, this just resets the nano briefly but then it goes back to flashing "Do Not Disconnect" again.
I'd sure appreciate some help if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you!!!!

Never mind, I pressed Menu and Select and held them for 10 seconds, and this reset somehow worked...the computer recognized the nano and began to synch properly

Best way of going about re-installing arch on a new Drive?

I'm moving from a magnetic Hard-Drive installation of Arch, to installing Arch on an SSD.
What I'm mainly concerned about, is about the best way of re-installing everything from scratch.
Regarding home directory I can just copy it.
But regarding installed packages from official repositories and AUR -
Is it advisable to find a way to list all packages to a text file, then use that text file as in input to pacman and yaourt on the new installation in order to install everything?
Did anybody here already faced this problem? I'm afraid of reinventing the wheel.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Generaly, this list contains everything that you want to keep and more.
After that, you can script something to pipe every line to pacman and adding --needed to avoid reinstalling anything.
Explicitly installed packages which are dependencies of others will not appear in that list and thus lead to a different set of install reasons. The command should be pacman -Qqe instead. The safest way to do this is as follows:
old system
pacman -Qqen > explicit_native_pkgs.txt
pacman -Qqem > explicit_foreign_pkgs.txt
new system
pacman -Syu - < explicit_native_pkgs.txt
random_aur_helper ... $(cat explicit_foreign_pkgs.txt)
