When is it done chargi

Hello everyone,
I just took home my new Creative Zen 8GB today, and I plugged it in to my computer (Vista Home Basic) via USB and put music on it etc. I upgraded the firmware as well, and I'm just wondering how to tell when it's finished charging. All it says anywhere online is between 3 and 4 hours, but with my old iPod, I found that overcharging it ruins the battery and it has a severely limited life that way. At least with the iPod, the icon on the player changed to tell you that it was finished charging... is there anything like that for the Zen, or am I stuck trying to guess when it's done?

Well, there is quite an easy way of telling this, as the backlight keeps being turned on while the player is charged, and switches off when it is done*. And how long it takes to charge depends on the source of power. If I use a USB port to charge my player, it sometimes take like 6 hours or more, but using my AC charger will turn the batterybar fully green in about an hour. Overcharging shouldn't be a problem unless you leave the player plugged in for charge, for a few days... In other cases you can (turn on the player if needed and) check the battery bar and see if there's a plug-icon superposed on the battery-icon. In that case it's done. *When you charge your player while PC is turned off, otherwise the player will be on all the time indicating that it is "Docked" to the PC.Message Edited by de_zwaluw on 0-26-200803:30 AM

So I plugged my iPhone 4s into my computer to charge it and when it was done charging I fallowed all the steps to unplug it. However when I went into my music all my music was gone except for my purchased music and all of my ringtones were were gone too?

I have it set on manually manage music and videos. So there is no automatic syncing going on or anything like that. Yes iTunes was open and when i plugged in my phone i could see all the music and everything on my phone, everything was working like it was supposed to, I didn't have a problem until I unplugged the phone.

Shouldn't my iPod tell me when it's done charging?

When I usually see pictures it seems to indicate this but on mine it just keeps going Do not disconnect then when I dissconnect it goes to the regular screen when it's done will it tell me that it's sone? there's a little lightning bolt on the power bar.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How Do You Know When The Zen Touch Is Done Chargi

I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything on this topic.
I want to make sure that I don't overcharge my player, while still filling it to its enormous capacity. How will I know when it's done charging?

On my touch there is a little icon in the upper left corner of the screen showing my battery symbol with a power volt thing over it to show it is charging. This changes back and forth until the charging is done, then there is nothing on the screen at all.

When is my ipod done charging?

the 30gig version, how do i know when it's done charging (via usb)? what does the screen/battery look like? thanks

there is not a fully charged screen...wen the player is done charging it will be a full green bar at the meter....or if you let it sit on the charger for awhile then look at the screen it will say charging or charged (if complete)...This is normal behavior for the iPods...
One more thing....dont really go by the meter in the corner...after watching just a little bit of video it goes down...it is really still a good charged but the meter is all at a wack so just dont even trust it...

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board. Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices. There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I was updating my Ipad2 and when it was done it went to the apple logo and wont leave that screen it also will not charge. Ive tried resetting and it turns off for a second then come right back to the Apple screen.

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Recently when I want to charge my Macbook Pro, ok Pro 13" with my Magsafe adapter, it charges for a few seconds and then it stops as soon as my MBP found the remaining charging time.. I haven't done anything to my adapter.

Hi all
The last couple of days when I wanted to charge my Macbook Pro 13", my magsafe adapter stopped working when my MBP found the remaining charging time.
When I charge my MBP with another adapter, it works fine.
What can I do? Do I have to go back to the store? It is only four months old.

sounds like a funky charger, go to the store and try anoher if it messes up have it replaced. They've been having issuses wuth the new charger

Charging with iPod cord. Seems to be charging even when it says not charging in the upper right corner. Is this what happens when I don't use it's charger? And is that ok?

Charging iPad 2 with IPod cord. Seems to be charging even when it say not charging in the upper right corner. Is it because I'm not using the cord it came with, and is it ok to use an iPod cord.

The dock connector to USB cables are interchangeable on the iPod and iPad. That's not a problem. You must be trying to charge using a USB port on your Computer. If the port supplies enough power, the iPd will charge albeit very very slowly - as long as the Computer is turned on and it is awake.
You should really use the power adapter that comes with the iPad and it will charge much faster. Using the iPod cord is fine - switch to the supplied power adapter for the best results.

HT4061 My iPhone 4 does will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position I only get "pinging". Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?

My iPhone 4 does not/will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position, the screen remains black and I only get continuous pinging tones. Has anyone had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

What is iMovie doing after update? How can I tell when it's done?

"Updating" a whole lot of old iMovie events to the new iMovie 10 library.
When I tried to trash the old events the OS warned that they were "still in use". No problem, I thought. Shut down iMovie, and then trash the old events.
Well, when you try to shut down iMovie it tells you there are still "tasks being completed in the background" and that if you shut down they won't ever be completed.
so......
What are these tasks? (iMovie 10, after a big import, is using about 20-25% of a CPU continuously, according to Activity Monitor)
If I do shut down despite the warning what are the consequences?
How can I tell when it's done and I can safely shut down iMovie? (I guess I sould wait and see if it ever stops warning me).

Did you read the manual? It's usually explained on what does all this stuff mean on the screen. I don't think the manual that comes with the Micro isn't the player's guide but if you install the software I think, you can look it up by going through Start>Program Files>Creative>Creative Zen Micro>User Guide. This is the default directory.
Anyway, yes your Micro is charging and if you want to play your music on your MP3 player while it's charging you can use Nomad Explorer to play the music on your computer or use Creative Mediasource to play the music and hear it from your MP3 player. You can't control your MP3 player so just use your computer. It's not that hard to learn.
