0Zen MX - planning to buy - MSD - AC - Organizing]Hello there,
and thanks for your interest.
I am acutely planning to buy a Zen MX. I've been looking after it for months, and finally my old player broke completely. So this is my chance to get my Zen.
But beforehand I have to know some little things about it.
First of all, is it possible to bind it in to win7 as a simple mass storage device?
Then, I'd like to use the player semi-stationary as a source for my HiFi-Components at home, without straining the battery unneccesarily. Will the player play if plugged in to a computer or a dedicated USB-Charger which provides only currency but no data line?
I could not find information about this during my researches through the web.
Thanks a lot for reading and your understanding.

Before you buy an MX, read the customer reviews. Creative used to put out a pretty good product. But over the years they've taken obama sized steps backwards.
As much as I dislike Apple, I'm going to have to make the switch.
I'm on my 3rd crati've zen mx now. They last about a month then fail. My original was a Crati've Zen (Without the MX) and it lasted one or two days past the warranty period. I really wish I had just sent that one in for repair rather than buying an MX.
My music is important to me when I travel and I need something reliable. The Creative Zen MX is not.

Planning to buy an Asha 503. Any feedback?

The Nokia Asha 503 is on sale in some markets already and you might make a bargain. However, I do not know for whom this model was made for, especially when I compare it to Nokia 700 (Symbian), Nokia 311 (Nokia Series 40), and Nokia Lumia 720 (Windows Phone) available on second-hand market – just look at the screen resolution. I guess you ask, because Google Android is no option. Is a Mozilla Firefox OS v1.3 device available in your country?

Planning To buy MSI K9N Platinum + AMD X2 3800+

Hello everyone,
as the title as Iam planning to buy a MSI K9N Platinum board with an AMD X2 3800+ for a new system build. Ive been out of the game for a while, the last time I was really up to date on computer technology is when the AMD XP 2500+ Barton was the hottest thing on the market, some what of a new comer to dual core technology. I have a few questions, mainly about the board it self. I did a little searching and that answered some of my question but I have a few more.
Ive read a lot about the shutdown problems from the board when transferring large files or burning DVDs. I have a few questions about that.
From what I see so far, this is a very informative forum and I appreciate any and all information. So here goes:
1) It says on the MSI website that the ram slot for this motherboard is at 1.8 volts. The ram Iam planning to get is OCZ Platinum EL XTC PC2-6400 1GB 2X512 DDR2 CL4-5-4-15 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit. On the OCZ website it says that the ram modules run at 2.1 volts. My Question is if I stick this ram in the mother board will it boot long enough for me to go into the bios and change the ram voltage to 2.1 volts?
2) Now Ive read about the shutdown problems with this board. Ive seen a lot of people up the VCore to 1.35V. If I do this along with a bios flash, will this take care of the problems?
3) Now the dealer that Iam buying my PC from didn't have this board in stock for the last week. He just got them in 2 days ago this week. Therefore Iam assuming he has the lastest version of these boards. Now are these problems taken care of on the new version of these boards? If not what can I do to get rid of them?
4) Is there anything else I should know about this motherboard?
Thanks for the the help.

Yes, you could set up manually the voltage to 2.1v perfectly I've got one k9nsli p, with an amdx2 3800+ whit 2gb ddr2 (512x4 twins pack corsair xms2 ddr2 800) that works at 1,9v
2) Now Ive read about the shutdown problems with this board. Ive seen a lot of people up the VCore to 1.35V. If I do this along with a bios flash, will this take care of the problems?
My shutdowns problems was resolved by unnistallin' nvidia IDE controller, nothing about vcore or flashin bios... I keep original bios version 1.0 & Core center shows vcore at 1.33v
3) Now the dealer that Iam buying my PC from didn't have this board in stock for the last week. He just got them in 2 days ago this week. Therefore Iam assuming he has the lastest version of these boards. Now are these problems taken care of on the new version of these boards? If not what can I do to get rid of them?
Good question... 2morrow I'll check on the box of my k9 the part number and will post it
4) Is there anything else I should know about this motherboard?
The first week, I was desire burn my k9 shutdowns... shutdowns.... shutdowns... after I find the cause of that ShiX$/#(! (nvidi IDesuxs controller) my life is happy!
good luck
Thanks for the the help.

I am planning to buy an iPad 2 WiFi 3 G from USA , will it work in Egypt?

HI ,
I am planning to buy a new iPad 2 WiFi + 3 G from USA ,,,, and i will use it in Egypt.. will it be unlocked for AT&T in Egypt ?
thanks ,

Make sure you buy the WiFi+3G AT&T (3G) model.
You won't be able to order it online unless you have a US credit card tied to a US address and a US shipping address, so I am assuming you are coming here to purchase it. If so, call ahead before you go buy it to make sure they have one in stock.

I live in india. I am planning to buy an iPad from US. Will an iPad from US work in India?

Hello everyone
I am new to this Community and have a query.
I am planning to buy an iPad from US.
As I live in India , will my iPad work in INDIA?
Will I have to choose any specific carrier for that and why.
Thanks & Regards
Sushil Raisinghani

Well, first you have to come to the US to do that. When you do you will pay US sales tax in the state where you purchase it. Understand that once your return to India your warranty will not likely be honored, so you will have to return it to the US for any warranty repair. If you have it repaired in India by a non-Apple certified shop, then any further warranty will be voided.
Keep that all in mind before doing what you plan to do. You may find it is wiser to purchase it in India from an Apple certified reseller or retailer.

I am planning to buy an iMac 21.5 inch with Fusion drive and 16 GB RAM while i visit USA for a conference. My country of origin is India. Once i am back to India, will my iMac be covered by the Apple's Protection Plan?

I am planning to buy an iMac 21.5 inch with Fusion drive and 16 GB RAM while i visit USA for a conference. My country of origin is India and the option of configuring to my need is not avaialble here in India. My concern is once i am back to India, will my iMac be covered by the Apple's Protection Plan if something goes wrong here in India?
I recently came across some posts regarding International warranty related issues for iPhone and iPad....hence this crossed my mind...
Waiting for response from the support group members...

Thanks Ralph
This essentially means that if my iMac develops some problem (both software and hardware) in my country (India), it will be completeley attended (even the whole system requires replacement) by the AASP in India...is that what you say?

Can I use my IMac OS 10.4 (old) to set up a wifi router, such as Airport Base, so I can have a wifi connection for the iPhone I plan to buy? My IMac is not wifi capable.

Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy. My IMac is not wife capable.

Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.

I plan on buying a new I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi co

Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. The price of a new MacBook Pro is much less in the US, and is where I plan to buy one. However, I have read that a US machine will not play UK DVD's. Is this true and if so is it possible to change the codes?

I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. I plan to buy a MacBookPro in the US but have read that it will not play UK DVD's. Is this so? If so, is it possible to change the codes?

All modern & new Macs can play both PAL and NTSC DVDs. I do it all the time and it works perfectly.
The DVD drive is set to its first region code when you first play a DVD in it. So when you buy a Mac, whatever type of DVD you play first will determine the initial region code that is set. If it's a PAL/Region 2 DVD it will set the DVD drive to region 2.
The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have a collection of DVDs that have different region codes. In those cases you may be faced with changing the region code in the DVD drive in order to play one or more of the DVDs; and as others have noted there is a limit to the number of times you can change the region code (most modern DVD drives allow up to 5 changes; the 5th change becomes the permanent change). This is due to industry licensing practices.
If you have DVDs that are Region 0 or All Regions you don't have to worry about region codes.

Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

If you are going to use Mac OS X and its associated applications, and a BootCamp partition with Windows 8, and MS Office and all of the work created there, you will more than likely run out of space on a 128 GB SSD pretty quickly...especially if you put any music, photos or videos on it. Those things take a lot of space so you will have to be very, very careful about what you want to put on a 128 GB storage space. You would be better off going for 512 GB with what you plan on doing with it.

I am planning to buy mac mini 2.5Gzh. I will be using it mainly for video editing and I am planning to upgrade up to 8GB. Is it a good buy or should I try some other alternative.

I am planning to buy my next desktop. I will be using this mainly for video editing. I am not a professional video editor, I normally do home made videos for youtube, like tutorial, DIY project etc. I use Nikon D3100 camera and some basic green screen techniques as part of recording. So my basic video editing would be just syncing audio, editing videos to cut un-necessary frames etc and some basic effects. I am also planning to buy final cut pro.
So my question is should I buy the mac mini or Imac?

Great advice from RRFS!
For video editing, do go for 16 GB of RAM ffrom OWC & consider the twice as fast i7 2.6 model, see Geekbench scores here..

For the user who plan to buy HyperX PC3200/DDR 400

as the topic said, plse be aware of the HyperX Ram module
model name is
KHX 3200A 256/512MB
KHX 3200 256/512MB
the model name with an 'A' at the back will not perform at CL 2, unless you run it at DDR 333. even the Kingston website it say that the 3200A can run at CL 2, but it cant. because the ram got 2 Highest Cas Latency.
Highest CAS Latency 2.5 @ 200 MHz
2nd Highest CAS Latency 2.0 @ 166 MHz
the model name without an 'A' at the back will perform at CL 2. which is only have one Highest CAS Latency = 2.0 @ 200 MHz
so be aware of it when you plan to buy the memory module
P.S, i have try more than 5 pcs of the KHX 3200A in MSI 875 Neo motherboard, all is CL 2.5

I've got 2x512MB of the Hyper-X "A" RAM
I agree with what PoRsChE has said above. I am also unable to run my RAM at cas-2 with RAM set to 400. Like many other people here, my cas is stuck and if I change it, it just reverts to 2.5 in the OS. This is true even if I try to go up to cas 3! I can't think of any reason why this is.
Strange though, if I set the RAM to 333, and crank the FSB to 250(which brings the RAM back to it's original 200Mhz(400DDR) I can run it at cas-2. This would be great except I'm not interested in running my CPU so far out of spec. so soon after buying it.
If anyone is able to run their HyperX3200 "A" RAM at cas 2 and 400DDR in 1:1, let me know how.
If anyone had trouble with being unable to change their cas latency and found a fix, let me know how.

Possibly if your company has an agreement with Apple and the machine is purchased through the company. Otherwise, no.

I own an iPod Touch 4g. Now i'm planning to buy iPod Touch 5g. Is it possible for me to register the new one with existing Apple ID so that i can transfer the apps from my existing account to my new Ipod 5g?

I own an iPod Touch 4g. Now i'm planning to buy iPod Touch 5g. Is it possible for me to register the new iPod with existing Apple ID so that i can transfer the apps from my existing account to my new Ipod 5g?

There should definitely be no issue. You can register more than one Apple device with the same Apple ID and get the same apps on both devices without having to pay for the apps again.
Alternatively, if you want all your settings to say the same, do a backup of your old iPod Touch and then whe you receive the new iPod, restore the backup on it and it'll save you the trouble from having to redownload everything.
Cheers.
