Zen vision:M-doesnt turn on for more than a second, second brand new player that isnt worki

Hello hello.
Just bought a Zen vision:M and I just cant get it working. After troubleshooting for countless hours I finally came to the conclusion that the thing just wasnt charging properly, took it to my retailer, and instantly got a new one. Now this one is exibiting the exact same problem!
Only thing I have done is charge the player overnight with a usb power adaptor (the kind that plugs into a wall socket), then plugging it into my computer, which has all the nessecarry software properly installed already. I get a message saying windows found my new player and would like to install a driver, but it cannot find a driver on the CD or wherever windows normally finds its drivers...
Now i've had it charging in the computers front and back usb ports for hours, and when I attemt to switch it on, I get the creative logo for about 2 seconds, and then nothing, the player just turns off and starts blinking the charging sign in the upper right corner again. ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer doesnt find the player either.]
What could I be doing wrong? It seems so hugely improbable that I got 2 faulty players in a row!
p.s. Im using japanese windows xp media center edition with sp2.

Anybody?

IPod not turning on for more than a few seconds or recognized by computer.

Hey, if anyone could help that would be great. I have an IPod 2G with 3.0 software. The problem started that when I plugged my IPod into the computer it would charge, but ITunes would detect it and Itunes would lock up. As soon as I unplugged the Touch Itunes started working again.
So, I went into the Touch settings and hit reset. The thing got about 75% done erasing files and the battery died. Now when I turn it on it shuts down after a few seconds and Itunes still doesn't recognize it.
Any ideas?

you're welcome

Every time my lg g pad 8.3 lte tablet is turned off it reverts the saving email attachment back to internal storage. Every time I turn on, I change it back to save to SD card. It stays that way until it is turned off for more than a minute. If I do a restart, it holds the setting, but loses it when it is shut down for any period of time. Does anyone else have this issue? The setting holds for photos taken with camera storing to SD card. Only the email attachment setting does not hold.

I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

Zen Vision M 30GB - How to edit more than one tag at once

Hello,
I?m looking for a comfortable way to edit the tags on my player. I?ve installed ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer, but I can only add one file at once. I?ve tried a normal tageditor, but I can't see the player in the device list.
Does anyone know a tool for editing more than one file at once ?
Thanks
Michel

I do it in winamp, and then i copy songs back to player .)

MSI GX630 - My turbo will not stay on for more than a few seconds

I have the laptop plugged in to AC and when I enable the turbo , it says turbo on then almost immediatly it says turbo off and turns back off. Some times it will stay on for up to about a min, but it never will just stay on. Do I have a bum cpu that can't handle the over clocking, overheats, and then it automatically reverts back to normal cpu speed or what? Anyone else have this problem? It is not that big of a deal, but if they are going to sell a laptop with a turbo option, I think they should test it to make sure that it works with something that taxes the cpu and can handle it.

Macbook won't charge or run off mains for more than a few seconds

Last week my Macbook power adapter seemed to fail - the light had disappeared and my battery slowly ran out of power. I tried using a different power cable into the adapter to see if the fuse had gone, but this made no difference. After trying several plugs and trying to use it with the battery removed, I decided to purchase a new adapter.
This worked instantly - the light came on and my Macbook was no longer dead. However, this only lasted for a few seconds or minutes, when the light on the Magsafe plug went out and the Macbook powered off again.
After trying several things I realised that the problem wasn't really with the adapter - it seems to be with the Macbook itself. If I disconnect the power cable from the adapter and reconnect, the light comes on and it charges again. This happens when the battery is in the Macbook, but also when there is no battery and I run just from the adapter. I can run the laptop pretty much indefinitely as long as I'm happy with 0-10% power in the battery and continually disconnecting and reconnecting the adapter, literally every 30 seconds or so!
Any ideas whether this is likely to be the logic board or just the power connector inside the laptop? I've tried resetting the SMC already (by disconnecting battery and adapter then holding down the power button for 5 seconds) but that has zero effect..

I too have problems charging. The macbook and macbook pro adapters seem flawed; if one looks into the problem on any of the many forums, you can see that this problem is widespread. The dang adapter works intermittently. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind when it 'decides to work or not,' I think it is somewhere in the vicinity of 65% off and approximately, 35% on; in other words, it works properly only about one out of three times. When I first got the macbook it might have been a bit better but this problem of intermittent charging might be getting worse. All I know is several times lately, I have had to wait until randomly retrying it got it to function and by then my battery will have exhausted down to below 10%. Has anyone discovered any tricks which help kick this adapter in? I have heard rumors of a recall but that is all it is, I believe . . .

MacBook Pro won't sleep for more than a few seconds

For a few months now my late '08 MBP has been intermittently refusing to sleep. When I close the lid, the system will power down to sleep mode, the Apple on the top goes out and the power light will fade off and on as expected. But after a few seconds, the cd drive whirrs and the system powers up again and I have to choose Apple Menu > Sleep, because closing the lid doesn't work.
It's an intermittent issue: sometimes it'll sleep first time, other times it needs to be told to sleep from the Apple menu three or four times to persuade it to get some rest.
I've tried the usual suspects: Turning off Bluetooth, PRAM, SMC...anyone else have this problem?

Certain settings, e.g. printer sharing, can prevent sleep. There are other possibilities as well. See this kbase article:

TS3274 how come i cant hold something on my ipad for more than 5-10 second

i need help figurng out why my screen isn working. I mean it works, but it just doesnt work if i hold a button or something for long

If you're a new user, then you just have to get accustomed to the touch interface. Everything you touch on your iPad can be interpreted by your device as a command.
If you're an experienced user, perhaps you could elaborate on the problem.

TP Unable to See Wifi networks for more than a few seconds

I've read a bunch of wifi related posts on these forums but none seem to be the same problem as mine.
My touchpad rarely, if at all, sees any networks. If it sees my network it usually loses it before I have a chance to finish typing in the password. I can wait, sometimes up to 20 minutes for it to finally see any networks again and try to login again only to have it lose it and start searching for networks. Manually typing in the network tells me no network with that name can be found. I managed to set my android phone up as a hotspot (without any security) and connected to it long enough to get through the setup and reboot, then it was back to not seeing any networks, not even my phone.
Things I've tried:
- Sitting 2-3 feet from the router
- New router (bought it the same day I got my TP)
- Disabled all security
- Tried setting router to 802.11b only, g only, mixed, different channels, rebooting router
- MAC filtering is not enabled
- Resetting the TP (power + home) sometimes gets me a connection for a few seconds.
- I have 2 android phones, 2 laptops, a home theatre, and a wireless printer that can see my network and my neighbors networks all the time and have no problems getting and staying connected.
- Did the 3.02 upgrade by usb to my computer
- Toggled wifi, toggled airplane mode
I called support and had my TP sent in for warranty. I received a new one (serial number and MAC addresses are different so it is a different device), but it's doing the same thing.
I called support again and did all the usual troubleshooting and the guy felt like I do, very confused how it's losing ALL networks so often. I'm taking it to work where there's an open wifi network I can test it with and do the 3.02 upgrade (new TP came with 3.0 installed).
Has anyone else run into this? Is there a bad batch of TPs with faulty wifi chips or antennas? Is the TP just not compatible with my Cisco E1200 router (and causes it to stop seeing all networks?)? Does anyone else have any ideas? I'm at a loss and find it hard to believe having this one exchanged as well will be any different.
Thanks,
Brad
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Are you broadcasting your SSID? Sometimes this can cause a problem connecting. Is this Cisco router running any turbo modes or special preparatory protocols.
There are no know issues with Wi-Fi connectivity except on first connection; and the chance of 2 devices having the exact same issue is very unlikely. This sounds like something to do with your wireless router.
Have you tried to connect to another Wi-Fi hotspot elsewhere?
Do you have any 2.4 GHz wireless phones or security system that could interfere with connection?

I have an Iphone 4s that won't stay paired to the Mercedes phone cradle for more than about a second or 2. How do I get it to stay connected please?

I have an Iphone 4s that I am trying to link with a Mercedes-Benz (the car has COMAND) cradle. It stays connected for a second or two and then disconnects. Any help or advice please?

Are you having problems connecting to other devices? If not, have you contacted your Mercedes dealership to discuss the issue? Have to checked to see if there's a firmware available for your Comand system? Have you deleted the pairing with your car and then re-paired?
What have you done to troubleshoot so far?

HT203167 What happens when you pay for a movie rental on iTunes that does not play for more than a few seconds?

I rented a movie but it only played for a couple of seconds and then it stopped and kicked me back to the iTunes rental page again. This is after I rented the movie earlier in the day on my iPad and discovered I could not play it back through my Apple TV. What do I do now? Do I keep trying to rent it again and again, each time incurring a new rental fee?
