Wish i had bought an i

having had this creative zen x-fi 8GB? now for 3 months i can safely say that i wish i had never bothered.
the player itself is brillaint.....it's the usless pathetic horrendous piece of absolute rubbish software that goes along with it that is the problem. as i sit here writing this i've been waiting now more than 5 minutes for this software to load up. there's nothing wrong with my laptop as every other program/software works fine. i have a toshiba laptop running windows xp.
if and when it does load up it then most of the time tells me it has ecountered a problem and must close. then if this doesn't happen it then sometimes just freezes anyway.......and if i do get it to work, if i then try to delete or edit a track absolutly nothing happens.
as you can imagine this is becoming a real royal pain in the ass....and i've just about had enough of this garbage piece of c**p.
does anyone else have any of these problems and in this day and age should this be happening, don't they test their software in the real world before they release it.
and as i sit here the software STILL hasn't loaded up.

I have Creative Zen 6gb. Other than having Windows Media Player installed, I did not install any single software from Creative and thus I do not have any single problem on my XP caused by Creative Software. Creative Zen device it self is not problem free and I just hope it has not yet reach its EOL. However there is one strong factor that made me bought Creative ZEN at the first place, which is AVI XviD support and expandable SD card. As I think that XviD compression is more flexible, I have been able to produce .AVI video files in XviD that has a smaller file size than .MP4 (MPEG4) and .M4V (H.264) that is used for any iPod when using 320*240 resolution. The AVI Xvid filesize could be up to half the size of any of the .MP4 and .M4V. This means that I can store twice the amount of videos into Zen 6gb when compared to iPod Nano 6gb, and even storing more videos from using another 6gb or even 32gb SD card if supported. Please don't throw your Zen X-Fi away if you don't want it any longer. You may want to send it to me as pre-Christmas gift

  • I just bought the ipad 2 16gig and wish I had bought the 32...is there anyway to exchange it?

    I just bought the iPad2 16gig and I wish I had gotten the 32 gig.  Is it possible for me to exchange it?

    If you purchased the iPad directly from Apple, either online or from a retail Apple Store, you have fourteen calendar days from date of purchase to return it. You can then get the higher-capacity model. If you purchased the iPad from a dealer, then that dealer's return/exchange policy, if any, would apply.

  • Have just bought an Ipad 16gb but now wish I had got the 32gb. Can I do anything to increase it

    Have just bought an Ipad retina 16gb and wish I had got the 32gb as once I put 3 or 4 films on to it I have no memory left. Any suggestions to increase memory or do I have to put up with it or bite the bullet and buy a 32 gb and try and sell the 16 gb.

    If it has not been damaged, you have had it less than 14 days, and you purchased it from Apple, you shold be able to.

  • Wish I had not bought MacBook Pro

    I may be missing something but I am wishing I had never bought the MacBook Pro. Finding similar products used on a PC for a Mac is not easy. Setting up iCloud email account not easy. iTunes I just cannot get to grips with the importing function. I paid £1500 for the MacBook and I sweat when I turn it on. It's been sat on my desk at home for a week without me switching it on. I am not complaining about the device - it is probably wonderful but I am not wonderful around the Mac, I am hopeless. I really do wish I had purchased a Windows PC.

    Start using it. After couple of weeks experiencing the usability of it, you will enjoy it.
    Switching is hard at first and that is nothing to worry about it.

  • I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

    I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    I had bought a Mac PRE 13 in,  in 7th Sep in the online Apple Store,
    but it is 15th Sep today,how doesn't my computer come to me yet?
    So,how can I check where the computer is at this moment?

    Call the online Apple Store.  You should have received an email with a FedEx tracking # if you are in the US.

  • I need help! i am trying to update iphoto on my macbook pro that i had bought from someone else. although i am signed into my account when trying to update it is asking me for the previous owners account details and it wont let me change it to my details

    That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

  • HT5129 I have 30+ iPhoto Libraries, so every time I open one, iphoto wants to copy the 3 events I had out there when MobileMe shut down. Those 3 events are saved in the appropriate iPhoto libraries. Wish I had deleted them on MobileMe! How do I turn this

    I have 30+ iPhoto Libraries, so every time I open one, iPhoto wants to copy the 3 events I had out there when MobileMe shut down. Those 3 events are already saved in the appropriate iPhoto libraries. Wish I had deleted them on MobileMe! How do I turn this process off?

    As Larry mentioned I use a different DAM (digital asset management) appliclation, Media Pro 1. For other possible DAM apps visit  The DAM Forum which is for professional photographers.  There the various apps are discussed along with workflows.  If nothing else you'll get some good information on managing digital "negatives".
    Media Pro lets you manage the folder organization of your photos and write metadata, keywords, titles, and other metadata directly back to the files.  No matter what app you go with have a backup plan in place to keep current backups of your source photos on separate hard drives.

  • HT1391 My pc crashed and when I accessed my ITUNES account from another pc, none of the songs I had bought are anywhere to be seen. How do I get them back?

    The computer/pc which stored all the songs I had bought from the ITUNE store some, crashed a few years back.
    Since then, I only accessed my ITUNES account sporadically and, and however hard I tried, I have not managed to find the way which will help me retrieve my song list.  How do I get my songs to show again on my ITUNES account? 

    The iTunes account is nothing more than the users login details, payment information, and purchase history.
    Media is only where the user put it.
    Copy the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
    There is absolutely no logical reason why anyone would expect that media would magically appear on a new computer simply because they signed in with their Apple ID.

  • I had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?

    i had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?

    The warranty is not international and only available in the Country of purchase .If the iPhone is out of warranty  Apple or their Agents will also only give service in the country of original purchase.
    So if you want Apple help you will have to return it to Singapore or find a 3rd party to repair it if they can in India  as long as it is out of warranty and you understand that Apple would never help with that device in future if it has been opened by a 3rd party
