X-fi music and software autoupdate probl
I keep getting 'some components are corrupted' when I try autoupdate! I've reinstalled the Acti'veX components several times but keep getting it. Is there anything else I might try?
I don't need to update drivers or anything since those on the CD is the latest but it would be nice if autoupdate would work in the future...
WinXP SP2 with the latest patches.
X-fi with drivers and app from the CD
LOL, I was right. Its much cheaper to buy a plat or better in the st place. If the UK price is in pounds, think thats the L symbol, then the cost for bay later is running about $20 for just the dri've so figure 30 for card and 20 for the dri've = Approx $250 and if had just bought plat for $99 would of saved $50 or so. I learned my lesson back when I bought an A2 without dri've thinking would be affordable later. If your card isnt past return date maybe cheapest thing would be to exchange upgrade to plat or better.

Retrieving Creative System Information and Software Autoupdate Iss
Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few things in my X-Fi Platinum software.
First when I attempt to retrieve the System Information using the Creative tool, I get an MS error report stating a problem with ctsi.exe and as such I've been unable to send proper information to tech support, so I'm attempting here.
Second whenever I attempt the Software Autoupdate I get another MS error report and the program closes down stating a problem with iexplore.exe . I get as far as installing the Acti've X controls, but shortly after installation the error report pops up and my browser closes down. I've attempted to remove the Acti've X controls and reinstall it but to no avail. I've un then reinstalled the software and drivers but with no hope towards this issue. I have reinstalled IE
These features were working for me on my last configuration, however after changing motherboards when the previous died, it has come to an abrupt end. The previous motherboard was an older version from the newly installed. I am unable to determine if this is a mobo issue as the only problem I have with this system is certain aspects of the sound cards' software, and the mobo is the only change that has been made.
My relevant system specs are as follows:
Motherboard: Asus P4P800 SE
CPU: 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium Prescott
RAM: Gb Kingston
Chipset: Intel 865PE, ICH5R
OS: Windows Media Center 2005 Edition
I have attempted a clean install of the operating system itself, installed all Windows updates aside from .NET Framework 2.0, and also reintalled Direct X.
I looked into other trouble threads with no solution found although there may seem to be Asus issues, the only difference is a slightly different model, (previous motherboard was an Asus P4P800X and everything ran fine with the Creative software). These are the only two features that are not working for me, every other aspect runs perfectly fine. On my previous configuration, there were a few critical updates installed, however when searching the downloads section, those same updates are not available there. MCE and XP I understand are almost hand in hand, but would rather not use the wrong firmware or drivers by any means.
I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated including any relevant threads I may have overlooked. If any other information is needed to troubleshoot the issue, please let me know.
ThanksYou might just try reinstalling the drivers & software first, see this http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=23573#M23573

The piracy of music and software
I have to say that I don't normally use iTunes. I use it on occassion when there is just one song that I want that I can't find elsewhere. Recently I purchased one and realized how restricted it is. First off, you have to authorize your computer to play these files. Since I've done a couple re-installs of Windows on my computer, I have done that a couple times. Well, Apple realizes these as activations, even though you have to activate your computer all over again upon a clean re-install. So, now it says that I have authorized 3 computers of my 5 allowed. ********!!!
We all hear that the music industry, corporate conglomerates and the government alike are putting all these measures in place to discourage piracy, but I tell you the truth. When I purchase something and I am not allowed to do anything with that thing except to use it with a given software, that encourages me to pirate it. After all, they are saying you don't own it, even though you paid for the **** thing. This logic is pure retardation pure and simple. It is no different than purchasing a $75,000 mercedez and being restricted to certain streets and times of the day which you can drive it. Why would a consumer buy a song that they don't own? That is the reason for piracy. A person will not buy something they can't own. What is the purpose in that?
People, we must take a stand against all this anti-piracy radicalism. The rate we are going, it won't be long before my car example is a reality. How about books and magazines? I can see them regulated in much the same way. Their goal is to eliminate the actual physical products such as CDs, magazines and books and have them only available in digital format. This is convenient for sure. However think of books and magazines in the same way. They will be available for purchase online only. You will not be able to print them, hang them on your wall or use them for your own purposes. You will only be able to view them using a special software that they make for you. As also with the music, you will run into problems when Microsoft's OS bugs make you re-install it a dozen times.
Recently, in the Kazaa lawsuit fiasco, over 400 million were paid out to record labels and various parties involved. That is way more than this is all worth. Further, who do you think recieved those funds? The corporate conglomerates, record labels and billionaires. I guarentee you that they low level struggling artist did not recieve a penny of this money. We cannot allow the wealthy who are already ripping off consumers and pick pocketing their hard earned wages to pledge with one hand that they are protecting us and with the other rule with an iron fist over us like slaves. Stand up for your rights as a consumer and your freedoms.Once you activate 5 computers (or 5 times), iTunes will show a new option "Deactivate all computers" Then you start at 1 again.
Or rather, Deauthorize your iTunes before you re-install Windows, That would work best, then you won't be limited to 5 times a year.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/687.html
You can authorize or deauthorize a computer at any time.
Tip: If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, you can deauthorize all of your authorized computers at once. Choose Store > View My Account. You can use this method once a year.

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!
Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back. I did not remove my phone from the computer until it had said it had finsihed.
Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

i have an old mini running os x 10.4 . i'm about to upgrade to 10.6 but have a ton of music and recording software installed and need to know if it will affect any thing i have installed . does newer garageband work with older gband files ?please help ??
Sorry about that, yes, 10.5 and 10.6 on Intel can run Firefox 4.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
You could install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 4 (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself! -
A good equipment and software for making music
Hello!
This is the situation: I´m using Garageband ´08 for making (good?) music, a USB-powered keyboard and the laptop stated below.
How would you suggest I'd do to get more instruments and better performance when editing music and playing it in realtime? I´ve sometimes thought about a Mac Pro, but as far as I discovered it didn´t improve music producing performance actually. What about those pro apps and jam packs?
Another problem is that my HDD is getting short of free space now.
I´m ready to hear your thoughts about this situation.
Kind regards
pink_snowWell iMovie is probably the most basic editing software. This comes installed on your Mac. You should have no trouble learning how to use it after exploring the software a little.
If you want a lot more options for effects and tools and overall capabilities, Final Cut Pro X would be what you want. It's a bit more complex of a system than iMovie and can take some time to get used and learn everything the system has to offer. It might be a little pricy ($299) if your just looking to edit videos from your iPad and iPhone.
I would suggest just using iMovie first and if that doesn't do it for you, you could consider purchasing Final Cut Pro X.
*Also, there is Final Cut Express for around ~$160. This would be the simpler version of Final Cut Pro, however, this software discontinued so there would be no updates. -
I just updated my itune on my PC and now it doesn't start. There was no error in installing/upgrading the software but once I rebut the computer the icon appeared but it wouldn't start the program. Did I loose all my music and data? How can I fix the problem? Thanks
Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear. -
Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos to iMac. After several hours it was "successful" but I can't locate it on the iMac. Any ideas for the rookie?
The music should be in iTunes and your photos should be in iPhoto. What happens if you launch those applications?
Best of luck. -
Software Autoupdate and Creative Zen Xtra 30GB Mp3 Pla
Hi,
I recieved a replacement for my Zen Xtra which broke under warranty (very unimpressed with Creative at the moment) and since the scroll wheel wasn't working properly I installed the latest firmware and now that's OK.
However while using the Software Autoupdate to do this I also installed the latest of all the other software for the mp3 player. Since this I haven't been able to use my DVD player at all (It's still installed but doesn't notice any disks) - the two are DEFINATELY related since it stopped working virtually as the software installed. Everything I could download there (Mediasource etc) installed except for the Jukebox drivers which give an error.
The other problem is that although I've been able to uninstall all the other stuff Mediasource is still installed and is stuck that way - "An installation support file could not be installed. The system could not find the file specified." - looks like Creative haven't updated their uninstall program for the new version of Mediasource to me.
I've emailed Creative technical support but I wondered if anyone here'd had the same problem and is there any way to fix it without formatting? (It'll be impossible to format and reinstall XP without a working DVD dri've...).
Could anyone link me some sort of iso/bin/etc of the CD that comes with the player itself? I might be able to install that with Daemon Tools and then see if I can persuade it to uninstall itself then.
Any ideas?Anecdotally they will honour the warranty of the country you purchased in, so 90 days parts and labour for the USA, and you might get another 9 months parts only...

Music and videos no longer upload after ipod software updated
I recently updated the software on my ipod to the latest version (1.2.2). I just clicked yes when the pop up asked whether I wanted to or not. Next thing I know, my music and videos no longer upload onto the ipod. They appear to be syncing because itunes shows syncing progress and stuff. It actually says the music is uploading on itunes but when i go onto my ipod there's no music or videos on it at all. The pictures however do upload. What could be the problem?

This is an iPod Classic you have because the latest firmware version is 1.0.2.
