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?
-Joe

Not sure what this has to do with LabVIEW. I suspect the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums might be as good as place as any. This has been brought up before:

A Creative Zen MP3 Player which can work on Windows 2

Hi,
I am wanting to get a Creative Zen MP3 player (or two) which can work with Microsoft Windows 2000. I want to put a number of podcasts on it as well as some music. Unfortunately my PCs are all Windows 2000 and it is not worth my while upgrading.
Now I think that some of the Creative Zen Micro units used to work on 2000. But later versions after firmware upgrades only work on XP. How can I get the right working units?

You can try to get some old Zen players.All new Zen players need at least Windows XP to work and sometimes even the last service pack. If you know that the Zen Micro works on Windows 2000 with a previous firmware, I think that you can find easily on the web this firmware or simply ask to Creative.

I forgot to charge my Creative Zen mp3 player fully before first using it

I forgot to charge my Creative Zen mp3 player fully before first using it, and started syncing music onto it while it was charging for the first time. How much damage do you think this would have caused, and is there anything I can do to correct my mistake?Thanks.

I didn't fully charge my player the first time I used it and it works fine. The battery life seems to be on par with everyone else's. Also if you just plugged it into the computer and started syncing music you don't have anything to worry about. Even though you were syncing music you were still charging and not depleting the battery. I think the recommendation means that you don't "use" the player meaning unplug it from your computer with only a half charge and then run the battery out. Anyways, your player will be just fine.

Downloads for Creative Zen mp3 player Vision: M (30

My new Zen 6GB freezes up in mid-40 degree temperatures and won't reset. It just gets stuck, then the battery goes dead, and it wont restart until fully charged again. When it's cold I can't even reboot it with a paper clip. If I leave it in the car for more than an hour the same thing happens. Is this a known problem I never had these problems with the godawful iPod. I can't imagine it's "normal" for it to be unusable outdoors whenI bought the black Creative Zen mp3 player Vision: M (30 GB) back in August 2007, and both discs that came with product are lost, and I need to desperately replace them. I know where the download section on the Creative website is, the problem is that I do not know which two programs came with my player initially, thus I do not know what to download. Can anyone tell me the names of the discs that come with this model so I would be able to download the correct two programs Thank you kindly. John it's 5 degrees above freezing. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that won't work on a Mac.
Check the install disk, it might say what systems are supported. If not, look at the files on the disk. If they're all named like PC files they're likely for a PC. If the disk has a Mac partition the files will look like they have Mac-style icons and names.
I also note that Macs don't use an 'autoplay wizard'; that's a PC thing.

Use Creative Zen mp3 player

Hi! Is is possible to connect Creative Zen mp3 player to the I tunes and import the mp3 music over to the Creative?

Jonas, probably not. See this link from Scott Patrie & Hudgie for a further explanation.

Best Free MP3 Player App?

What's the best free MP3 Player / organizer app out there? Would like to create play lists, organize files on my computer and then just upload to my Incredible.

Hi. I will be happy to give you information regarding the mp3 players. Did you search the marketplace? The best thing to do is search the marketplace for one but make sure you read the reviews for the applications so you will know what issues other customers are having with the same application.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

Display lyrics on Zen MP3 player

I am a musician and using a Zen player to play backing tracks when busking. I have read in the help files that you can add lyrics to MP3 WAV files using the lyrics editor and then put them on the Zen that should show them when the tune is played. I have used the Lyrics editor successfully and the lyrics/chords show in Windows Media Player now playing screeen, but when transferred to the ZEN MP3 player they do not show. The help files for the transfer software say you can turn on this feature but reading the ZEN help file I cannot find any reference to this. I have tried transferring the files using Creative sofware and Windows Media Player without success. How can I display lyrics on the MP3 player. Any help very much [email protected]

The only player I was aware of that could display lyrics was the MuVo V00 & 200. I could be wrong about others not having that feature. If you get it worked out please post a "HowTo" on this.

Your opinion on the best web server (for JSP) running on a NT or IIS

HI,
Just a question : in your opinion what's the best way for work with JSP (which needjdbc 2.0) on a NT computer (or IIS) ?
Is it Tomcat, JWSDK,...
Thanks for replying.

I already install Tomcat 3.2, but it give me (when I load my JSP pages) different error as JWSDK1.0.1 and , for sure, my code is correct : the only thing which convinced me to change my JAVA server is that I need to use the Resulset.first method (implemented in JDBC 2.0).
Why ?
Or have we got other JAVA web server

My Creative Zen MP3 player won't sta

Hi. I just got my mp3 player and now I'm having problems with turning it on. I've done everything that the usermanual says, but everytime I plug it out from the charger, it won't start. I charged it for 2 hours, like the book says, but it still won't start. Is there someting I can do that the manual doesn't say anything about?

I had the similar experience and this is what I wrote in the previous post._______________________________I purchased my Zen Vison M last night and plugged into a computer USB port to start charging (after installing the software, of course). The charging was very very slow - after 3 hours of charging the unit still won't turn on. I then went to RadioShack and purchased an A/C adapter, set it to 5V (2A capacity) and used it to charge the unit. Within 2-3 hours, the Vision M was almost fully charged. I then updated the firmware. The unit is fully charged now. I am so pleased with this purchase. Hope this experience helps you. Good luck.

Zen MP3 Player DAP-HD0

Ive just purchased a Zen DAP-HD005 20gb mp3 player and I cant get it to work.
I turned it on and it stayed on the creative screen for a while and then went into recovery mode. I cant do anything with it, when I reboot, it goes straight back into recovery mode and and when I choose the other options in recovery mode it just brings up a message saying hard disk problem.
I cant even turn it off, it just reboots and goes straight into recovery mode.
Is it faulty or is there something I'm not doing correctly. Is there a way to get out of recovery mode?
It just seems broken to me.
Thanks
Justin

Thanks!

What are your opinion on the new mac pro

I feel while radical its too limiting thereby loosing fuctionality. But I also knw how the iSheeps would follow their iSheperd blindly. There making this kind of thunderbolt for everything the norm. I also know that the PC companies brought this on themselves they failed to innovate followed intel and nvidia to blindly with there xeons and quadro. The 3 major pc makers market professional workstations that you would probaly sell ur kidney to get one we have the z820 while very powerful its just 2 xpensive. Let's take for example the imac is the best bang for d buck most beautiful all in one if hp had used say a normal 3770k and a gtx 680m 4gb dat would have brought the price of the z1 down drastically. Let's say d average joe wants to be an editor, compositor, colorist. if u goole pc workstations hp z820 and dell T7600 would pop up but they are dam so xpensive hp consumer PCs are garbage. If there is onething apple knows the average pro does not want to be bothered with specs. I think the pc industry brought this on themselves. Wat of the smaller custom builder they focused so much on gaming big megatron design like cases with all the talk of FPS is every thing. My only prayer is that asus, msi gigabyte should stand up aganist apple and start releasing sexier designs, unless I fear even adobe is not safe cos most editors would gradually drfit back to FCPX sad wen inferior products triumphs a superior one. Pls drop ur thoughts also ur opnions as editors in your location the general trend. I hate to be locked in a garden where I am told this is what I need. I love choices.

The 2 biggest problems with the new Mac Pro are the complete reliance on Thunderbolt for expansion and the Proprietary GPU modules. What happens when those Fire Pro cards are EOL and new GPU's are available. Will Apple go to any of the GPU manufacturers and get newer modules manufactured. Considering the applications that are moving to GPU processing, that was really a very bad idea simply because of the Minimum order quantity Apple will have to make to run another module. Apple will not be able to pull from the general video card supply which means they will be solely responsible for any production numbers required to manufacture to begin with. I personally expect this to be a major limitation as time goes on.
The complete reliance on Thunderbolt for expansion really was bad idea and not ready for prime time. TB2 has the total bandwidth of a PCI-E Gen 2 5x. That is the entire pipe available to pump any video output data, high performance storage, I/O devices, and any number of devices available as time goes on especially video cards. Those trying to GPU process through that pipe are going to find that latency is way to much a problem to get that done. If Lightpeak was out and had the bandwidth of PCi-E Gen 2 or Gen 3 16X then I would say great. There is just to small a pipe and to much device moderation at the TB controller to do this now. The major problem that will develop from this later is when Lightpeak is out for the PC and devices start moving there. Where will Apple be with the Mac Pro when it's entire expansion is legacy in 1 to 2 years. As a final note Thunderbolt 2 is just Thunderbolt 1 with 1 bidirectional channel in stead of 2 unidirectional. This is not a major improvement over the original.
The final consideration though not a major problem yet is the limit to 6 Core Xeons. This is likely due to the heat the 8 Core Xeons generate combined with a centralized cooling design. One of the major reasons to get a Dual Xeon is the 8 Core CPU options. Without that then there really is far less reason to get a Dual Xeon over a single 6 core and eventually 8 core workstation. This is a sacrifice that will reveal more later than now.
Considering the Mac Pro is meant to be the flagship platform for Apple's Pro market, there are really way to many limitations on this one to compete with the PC equivalents. There is only so much OSX will add to any system.

I need help finding the best Creative MP3 player for

I've been searching through the product literature and not finding the information I need to make my decision. I'm hoping the people here might be able to help.
I need one that does MOST if not all of the following:
) Audible audio book support.
This is mandatory since 75% of my usage is books on the commute. If the player will have support "soon" as in the next month, then that is OK. I can limp along with my current player.
2) Bookmarks.
Since I mostly listen to books I need to be able to resume play at any point. It would be great if the player supported a bookmark per file, but I could handle one that only remembered the current position.
3) In-Car use.
By this I mean that it can receive power from a car adapter and will auto shut off and remember the playing position when the power is turned off. I was thinking of using a USB power adapter for the MuVo Tx FM, but I don't know if it will actually play when powered that way. I dri've 2hrs a day and that eats batteries too fast to not use the car power.
Thanks for the help =)

Altair,
The Zen Xtra is the player you want. It currently has all three of the features you want available.
) It supports Audible with the latest firmware.
2) It has a bookmark feature that lets you set multiple bookmarks and recall the position.
3) It has a car mode that makes it shutdown when you turn off your car (assuming that your car outlet turns off when the keys are removed) and restart at where it was when you turn the car back on.

Did anyone else order a Zen MP3 Player from Dell and not receive key piec

I ordered my Creative Zen Vision M on Monday from Dell and received it today sans the power adapter and Quick Start Guide. Has this happened to anyone else? I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with Dell only to have them send me here.

I've just looked at the US Dell site and it lists a power adaptor there so I would say it's down to them to provide one. In the UK we have a Sale of Goods Act we can call on in these situations.
I would get a copy of the Dell web page for the Vision: M you bought and then phone them up to see what they will do about it.
I still reckon it's Dell's problem, not Creative's. After all, it's Dell who said the power adaptor should be included not Creative as there web site doesn't list it. The reason it's in the manual is the one I gave above about Creative reducing the package contents after a while to cut the cost and make it more competiti've.
I had a similar problem with a V200 I bought in the UK but from a French-owned retailer. The website said it would have a case and armband and it didn't - when I went back to the website the description had been changed so I didn't get anywhere.
Good luck
PB
