Zen V after battery death..

Just got a Zen V gb. Never had a player before with built in battery. Was curious if after a year or two or three, however long, after the battery li'ves its life, if I could at least still use my player with an adapter. Thank you.

Nevermind. Third day of ownership the power slider switch broke off. Have to use a small pen or something to turn on or off, so took it back, and I have been ultra careful with this thing.

ok, I will tkae that under consideration. Now I have another battery issue, after fully charging the MP3 player I noticed that the battery life drain rather quickly while it is off. I lost 9% of it's charge from taking it off the charger at midnight and then plugging it into the usb port of my computer the next morning at 10:00am. The clock is turned off so it should not be doing anything for those 0 hours.

Hello Andyoneill9,
It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
Resolution
Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
Check your "hosts" file
After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
Open Terminal.
Enter this command and then press Return:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
Restart your computer.
Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Zen Micro Photo Battery? Where to

Hey guys. I'm a bit confused now because I can't find an original Zen Micro Photo battery in germany. It seems like it isn*t released till now. Now I would like to if and if yes when it will be released in germany. It can*t just be true that creative wants us to use the old zen micro battery which is weaker.

Why wouldn't they take responsibility? Read through the forums, you're not the first one with battery problems. I'd say try a new battery if you can, otherwise send Creative Support an email about the problem. You'll probably have to send in your player and will get a replacement.

Problems after Battery Update 1.4

Has anyone noticed that since installing the Battery Update 1.4, their battery life has been reduced significantly? Prior to the patch I was getting a good several hours from a full charge, now I am lucky to get 1.5 hours.
Also, while the patch was meant to improve the Macs ability to +'maintain its charge when shut down and not used for an extended period'+, I immediately noticed the first night that I shut down with 3/4 battery and woke up the next morning with 1/4.
I have read of several people having issues with the battery not charging or taking a long time to charge - I haven't noticed if I am having this trouble as well.
Anyone??

My battery was great I never had to take my charger with me, but after Battery Update 1.4 my battery only lasts half as long now, and if I didn't use it for a week my battery was still 80%-90% now if I don't use it for a week I only get half an hour before I have to plug it in.
THIS UPDATE HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS MEANT TO FIX!
I only installed this update to be a good little consumer and have now ruined the performance of my macbook, I have tried to uninstall it and rollback to the previous version with out success.

Iphone 3GS shuts down now after Battery goes to 50%(On 5.0.1) Help

My Phone will now shut down after battery life goes to around 50%, I can get back on but then it goes off again..
New since I upgraded to 5.0.1....
Any ideas ???

I have exactly the same issue with iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3 getting empty battery shutdowns at 20% then at more than 20 % seems to be poor calibration but I don't know how to reach 0% if it keeps shutting at 20% anyways charging to 100% then restoring appears to solve the problem but it's only a matter of time then the problem comes back ... Any ideas

Need entering BIOS to setup date after battery empty

Hi, I'm new here.
I worked as technical support where I should maintain many T400.
I have to deal with this issue for T400 type 2767 CTO
The T400 should entering BIOS first and re set date format to actual date after battery empty
Without re set date and time T400 can't be use.
I have checked whether there's damaged in internal BIOS battery,and find no issue in there.
In previous purchase where I got same T400 but different type ( TYPE 2767 RR4) we've never seen an issue like this.
Any solution about my problem
Many thanks.
Regards,
Doni

Thanks, it was very messy I tried to make it simple and installed Win 8.1 OS on the SSD, with up to 1GB/sec r/w transfer rate when all performance functions in Magician were enabled, and the HDD from Seagate has up to 170MB/sec r/w transfer rate, ok, don't want to touch the bios before I have to

MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart

Hi, as mentioned in the header : MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart
After the battery drains to 0% the computer switches off.... *Makes sense*
Once I put the charger power chord back in for an extended period of time I hit the power button and then see the login screen.... *Makes sense*
However it won't let me type into the login box therefore having to force a restart and lose any saved data or data open when it died of battery. *WEIRD*
This happens every time my computer runs out of battery. I understand that obviously not letting the laptop die is a good idea, however it seems like there is something wrong as it allows me to login yet won't let me type anything...
Any solutions? Anyone else experience this?
I have an early 2012 MacBook Pro - 15 Inch Screen.

Hi s4mboy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd start with resetting the SMC and PRAM on the MacBook Pro:

How to recover file after battery exhaustion

How do I recover unsaved files after battery exhaustion? Before my snow leopard installation, when I replug power after battery exhaustion, the system would restart and resume the desktop with my working files. After I installed snow leopard, the system simply went for a complete reboot every time I replug power after battery died, and thus I couldn't find the files I worked on unless I saved them. How do I find/recover the unsaved files?
I use macbook and snow leopard. Any advice would be highly appreciated!

I think you are seriously confused about terminology, as your post doesn't make a lot of sense. Rebooting refers to the act of restarting the Mac, just as if you turned off the machine and then turned it back on again. It restarts the system from scratch (ie, with a "fresh desktop").
Sleep is a completely different thing. It allows the machine to stay on while cutting power to as many components as possible. This allows the machine to look like it's turned off, but it retains its state and wakes up with all the same apps/windows open.
If you are putting your machine to sleep and finding later that it has not retained the state, as you seem to be saying, that means the battery has died and the machine shut down. Not a nice, gentle shut down, like when you choose Apple -> Shut Down, but an abrupt, kick-in-the-head sort of shut down that has the potential to do damage to your system software. Not to mention that you'll lose unsaved changes to open documents. This is a problem, and you need to address it.

MBP 2010 13'' completely freezing when loading from sleep after battery drain

Hi all,
Ever since upgrading do Mountain Lion, everytime my MBP 2010 13'' goes to sleep after battery drainage, it freezes in the last "dash" of the waking up process. Furthermore I noticed that the background during wake up is not my dimmed desktop anymore as it used to be on Lion, it is the Apple logo on a white background (similar to Power up screen). I experience no other freezing stated by the community that are attributed to ML, iTunes or Safari, only this one when recovering from sleep. This last time I waited a couple of hours before power down, only resulting in abnormal heating. Already tried fully charge, fully recharge, reboot, cmd+opt+p+r, ... Anyone has this? Is it a known problem being somehow addressed by Apple? Thanks in advance!

So can anyone tell me how can I open an issue on this for Apple? Thanks.

Zen Micro: Poor Battery Performance Even with Firmware Upgr

The Zen Micro's battery life is advertised to last up to 2 hours, but I am only getting approximately 7.5 hours. I have installed the latest firmware v.0.03 upgrade, and fully charged and discharged both batteries at least fi've times each (using the USB and AC adaptors before plutting into outlet). Before the firmware upgrade I was getting just under six hours of battery life. For testing purposes I am using 28kbps MP3 files, volume level 8, no EQ setting, no backlighting, and the headphones that came with the product. Since I have the player sitting on my desk, without being listened to, there's no skipping or forwarding of music tracks. Gi'ven the non-demanding settings, the battery performance is disappointing.
I have contacted tech support and they want me to send in my player for repair or replacement. It seems this issue is prevalent for all Zen Micros and I don't want to send mine in to have it returned all scuffed and scratched and not fixed (or get some grimy second-hand, refurbished model instead).
So I want to confirm that others are experiencing this same problem before I decide what to do. It seems it would be best to get another one from Amazon instead of going through the hassle of repair.

I notified Amazon of the problem on Friday and got a brand new replacement on Monday. Talk about great service.
Unfortunately the replacement is a crapper also. My second Zen Micro immediately and completely locks up when plugging in the USB cable. Since I didn't return my original unit yet, I was able to try another cable but got the same results. I fully charged the batteries, tried all of the various recovery mode options, and still had the Creative drivers/software previously installed on my computer from before. I'm running WinXP SP2 with up-to-date patches, and no other software installed since. My PC's motherboard has built-in USB 2.0 support (with power mgmt turned off) and updated drivers and BIOS, but these things shouldn't be an issue anyway since it worked fine with the first Zen Micro. I'm not able to upgrade the firmware, let alone transfer music, because of the lockup problem. I build and fix PCs for friends and coworkers all the time so I'm confident in my trouble-shooting abilities.
The second Micro makes the first one seem perfect. I really wanted to like this MP3 player, but two defecti've products in a row is totally unacceptable to me. What a waste of my time. I should have been more suspicious about Creative products since my Muvo TX FM player was buggy as well (i.e. player would immediately shut down when powering on). I will check out the Rio Carbon or iRi'ver products instead.

IPhone 5 keeps turning off after battery replacement

iPhone 5 keeps turning off after battery replacement. After 10 minutes or so, the phone freezes and shuts off, can't even use it anymore.

Hi there Luke811813,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1.Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2.Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
3.Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4.After at least 15 minutes, if:
•The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
•The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
•Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5.If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
•If the display turns on, go to step 4.
•If the display remains black, go to next step.
6.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7.If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Help! My iPhone 5 wont turn on after battery died. iPhone is not reponding to charger or anything I have tried... Hard reset is not in option beacuse iPhone is turned off.

Your only chance is letting it charge for about 10min, then connecting it in recovery mode, explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If it does not charge at all, you'll have to get it serviced by Apple.
