Zen xtra 30gb battery issue and question about headpho

frist thing is that my zen xtra 30gb is having a minor problem concerning its battery. when i charge it, the meter doesnt fill up, however when i unplug it, the correct amout on the power meter is there. what can i do about this.
second, im supposed to be getting the sony fontopia ex7 within the next few weeks, what would be the best recommendation for eq settings.
if anyone can help, it would be gladly appreciated.

Whenever you get strange behaviour run a disk cleanup. To run a Disk Cleanup you need to access the Rescue Mode. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
If that doesn't help, you might also want to download and install the latest firmware update from Nomadworld.com downloads. Make sure to follow the instructions on the download page about how to upgrade.
If that doesn't help, then flatten the battery through normal use and recharge it fully before using it again (a full recharge takes at most about 4 hours). Do this a couple of times. Sometimes the indicators get "uneducated" and this is supposed to re-educate them.

Some issues and questions about StorE TV

Hi there! I bought stor.e tv a week ago and there are number of issues, in order of personal importance:
1. It slows down audio playback. It happens when playing standard mp.3s on my home stereo through the analogue outlet - my music sounds bizarre, slowed-down and with lowered frequency. I have to go back change, settings to HDMI output (normal speed play, no problem), then change again to analog, scroll through the folders to find the song I want to play and play it again - voila, it works normally. Quite a complex way to play a song properly, don't you think?!
2. When there are ID tags (especially album art) to the songs it takes ages to shift from one song to the next.
3. Audio settings are often forgotten after the unit has been shut down normally from the remote control only - you switch it on again and it's not how I left it but back to HDMI. So, I have to remember any time checking the settings before playing a song?! Even though, in a crooked way, that^s helpful having in mind problem 1.
4. Does not display correctly Cyrillic subtitles.
5. Heats quite a lot.
There are other things too (no playlists, slow, lagging, etc). I am actually writing that just before going back to the shop and ask for my money back.
Cheers, guys!

Hi
> 4. Does not display correctly Cyrillic subtitles.
Yes, this was mentioned in other threads seems that not all subtitles are supported.

Regarding the other issues;
I think you should try to reset the E Store TV to default again and should check how it works.
In many cases this helps to solve such annoying issues.

WRT54G Overnight Issue and Question about warranty

Well I haven't been around here since I first got my router and it wouldnt work...which was only 4 months ago.
I have a WRT54G that I use for my pc and Xbox Live and over the past 4 months it has been working fine, not great but good enough to make me happy. I was playing xbox live yesterday up until 10 pm, then I went to bed. I woke up today at 6am and went to check my email...my internet connection is gone so I look at my router and NO LIGHTs are on. I unplug it and plug it back in and nothing, try it a few more times and it powers up but won't acknowledge my ethernet card and ALL the lights on it are on, no matter what I plug into which port.
So I'll probably have to return it as it seems dead? How long are the warranties on these products? I bought it at Best Buy, can I just bring it straight back to them?
thanks

Anyone know if there's a no return policy on electronics at Best Buy? I'm going there tommorrow anyways but just wondering if anyone knows in advance so I can prepare myself for battle

Zen Xtra 30GB freezes up on

I have a Zen Xtra 30GB that is just about 2 weeks old, and it just froze on me this morning. I mean completely froze, I could not even turn it off, I had to remove the battery to shut it off. What gives?

Could be a number of things. Is it working now? If so, take note of which file it froze on (if you remember) and try playing that again to see if it works. If it hangs again, it could be a problem with that particular file.
Try running the Clean Up in Rescue Mode.

NOMAD ZEN XTRA 30GB & WINDOWS VISTA & D/L SOFTWARE ISS

I was hoping someone can please help me out here in Forum Land ?I just bought a new computer with WINDOWS VISTA and my Installation disk is not compatible. I have tried d/l from this site with no luck. It will go to the WIZARD part but won't finish the installation. I need to get the Software on my new puter for my NOMAD ZEN XTRA 30GB MP3 Player.Namely I guess the Creative MediaSource and it's amazing Organizer.Any links or steps in how too would be most appreciated I have emailed the Creative team but I keep get stuck at what to do next. They said something about installing and completing the firmware update, your player will be using the PlaysForSure software, but on the same sentence he/she says "However you will need to do this on an XP system".. and I have Vista so I am totally confused. I also checked out the site he/she suggested about installing this FirmWare and that site says "Back up all audio, video, image or data files stored in the player to a secure location before changing the firmware. All contents in the player will be lost when you install a new firmware"? -- How can I back up when I can't access it's And surely, I don't want to lose my over 2,500 songs ! Yikes... This was under <span class="majorheader">Solution ID # 4789?I am hoping I can get your help out there as I dearly love my MP3 player and want to continue importing songs ?thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me ?cheers Lisa

Hey Lissa,Did you find any solution in your problem because i have the same problem and i dont know what to do.Plz let me know if u downloaded any thing in your Vista Computer. Thanks alotSuzy

Nomad Zen Xtra - 60G - Major Issues

I bought the Zen Xtra for my husband for his b-day last April (2004). Over the summer the Zen Xtra worked well and transfer of 307 tracks of songs was successful. Then, in the fall we decided to try setting up playlists through the Creative MediaSource software. Since then we have had numerous problems with the machine. First of all, when trying to create a playlist, the Xtra froze. We've since gone through the motions of (a) upgrading all the software/firmware we could and (b) rebooted and done a disk cleanup.
Unfortunately this has NOT solved our problem. Yes - we are now able to use the Zen Xtra for listening to the tracks we already have on the machine, but everytime we connect it to the computer and try to either add new tracks, (We aren't even able to do an AudioSync! The error we get is :"Unable to read file. File may be in use, missing or corrupted". Of course this is not the case because we are able to listen to the song from the Zen Xtra.) listen to a track (through the xtra on the computer), (the error we get here is : "Unable to playback current track. The audo device may not be available or the file may be missing or corruped.") or try to create a playlist (The error here is: The operation failed. Ensure player is properly connected before trying again.")
In each of these cases, the Zen Xtra freezes up and we have to go through the whole process again just to get the stupid thing to play songs so we can listen to them. We are very disappointed that we are not able to use the Zen Xtra to its full capablities. What are we missing? How can we get it to work as it's is supposed to through the software on the computer?

Thanks Cat for the info. I've managed to get all my files from the Xtra over to my PC.
I am still experiencing the following by the Zen Xtra:
A) if the machine is shut off for longer than a day, it takes from 25-30mins to turn on. It gets "stuck" at the EAX screen
B) I am still unable to create a playlist on through the Media Centre. Everytime I try, it says that the Zen Xtra is not connected and then my Zen gets "stuck" forcing me to do a manual reboot of it.
I believe this to be a software problem, but that's not to say that I'm not totally disappointed that I'm unable to use my Zen to its full potential. (And manually rebooting and/or waiting for 25-30min to listen to my Zen isn't fun either.) Does this SOUND like a simple software issue or is it more? (Remember my warranty will run out soon)
If it IS a software issue is there any OTHER software out there that I would be able to use to appreciate my Zen to its fullest?
Thanks again.J

How do I download from icloud to phone? Had battery issue and bought new one

How do I download my contacts, apps and all info from iphone to my phone? I had a battery issue and was told that buying a battery and resetting phone to original state may resolve it. It seems okay now, but I need to understand how to restore the info that I backed up on last night. Thanks.

If you want to restore from and iCloud backup you have to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase the phone. You then go through the activation screens again and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). (Connect your phone to and external charger and wi-fi as this sometimes takes a while to finish.)

* Buying Vado HD - 1st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *

Hi.
I want to buy the Vado HD. I'm deliberating between the st and the 2nd gen. Can you help me with that?
Second question, how come the 2nd gen (that supposed to be better and newer) costs less than the st gen?! (99$ for the 2nd gen and 229$ for the st gen).
Thanks,
Adam

CRe: * Buying Vado HD - st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *# To me the Vado Rev3 seems to be trying to get the same feature set as a digial Camera with HD recording capabilty....except the cameras take better stills. I have the below Canon and the Vado HD Rev.
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD780IS2--Stabilized-Black/dp/B00SER47Y
We don't use the vado anymore since the camera is always with us.
Factor into the price of the Canon also purchasing a highspeed 6GB sd card.
if you are really sold on a Vado...look at the comparison here:
http://www.myvado.com/products/comparison.aspx
Note how they reduced the recording time of the new models to only 4gb instead of 8gb.....however, the newer units nati'vely record to MP4 which is a little easier on some software programs than the AVI container.

Issues with Zen Xtra (30GB) PlaysForSure firmw

Apologies if this subject has been covered, but I haven't found any coverage of the particular problems I have with the firmware upgrade (2.0.03).
My main beef is to do with the compatibility with the firmware upgrade and Creative MediaSource. Before I installed the firmware upgrade, along with the drivers and necessary software updates, I was extremely happy with the way MediaSource worked with my Zen Xtra. When I wanted to listen to music through my computer (often), I would simply plug in my player, and using MediaSource, I could navigate through my player's library with ease. It meant it wasn't necessary for me to store music on my computer's hard dri've. Now, while it is still possible to listen to the music on my player using MediaSource, the music library window doesn't feature the Artist/Album/Genre windows for easy navigation (Added to this, due to the way I backed my music up when installing the new firmware, my music is all in Artist/Album folders, making it even more of a nuisance to use).
I know it is the firmware making it do this, because with my friend's Zen Xtra which doesn't have the firmware upgrade, the old style navigation still applied. As it does with my PC Music Library (a function I don't use).
Also, the firmware seems to have made my player much slower and less responsi've, and (this may just be paranoia) the shuffle mode seems much less effecti've.
I wish I could just go back to the way things were, but of course, I can't, because for some reason Creative have made it impossible to revert to the previous firmware!
Can anyone help?

Sounds like an incompatibility with the card, which is surprising as NEC cards are usually no problem. There are various things to try as mentioned in the FAQ post (search on "connection problems") but I think you need to focus on making sure you have the latest drivers for the card, as well as the player itself.

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...

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 30GB mp3 player - Windows Vista

I no longer have the disc that came with my player and can't seem to find drivers to get my PC to recognize the player. Downloads seem to be for older operating systems maybe because the player is so old. When I try to downlod them I get errors. Not sure if I have the right drivers. Can anyone find them? Model # DAP-HDOO

I'm trying to find a way to make sure my Zen still works if I upgrade my OS to W7 (I've got the 60Gb version). You don't say which OS you are using, but I think it is relevant. Everyone seems to have a problem with Vista, and I've only found one place where they said they can get it to work with W7, using Compatibility Mode.
There is also a lot of stuff about a conflict with Windows Media Player v. I don't know if that was ever resolved, but people were advised to roll WMP back to v0.
Creative have pulled the plug on support for these machines, although you can still get the latest firmware from there. I'm reluctant to try it in case my machine crashes halfway through.
This is the text of the posting I found about W7. Good luck!
Creative Zen Xtra
Microsoft have certainly made the compatibility mode powerful in Windows 7!
I could only get basic use from my Zen Xtra in Vista, using Real Media Player
to play tracks from the Zen Xtra, but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly.
Basically the driver for the Zen Xtra is incompatible with Windows 7. However,
if you download the XP driver and right click the installation file and select
the Troubleshoot Compatibility heading and use the recommended settings to
install the driver, then install the Creative Mediascource 5 for Vista, then
the plugin for the Zen Xtra for Mediascource (both install without compatibility
mode), you will get a warning that the driver is incompatible but ignore this and
restart the computer. I then started Mediascource software, noticed the Zen
Xtra listed, clicked on 'Playlist', and it loaded, no problem! Playback, no
problems, transfer to player, no problems!
I am NOT using the 'Play 4 Sure' firmware update either!
Also for those with the Audigy 2 or 4 sound cards, Creative have issued a
beta driver for Windows 7, I am using this without the previous distortion
that the default Windows driver gives. Everything is cool! This was my main
reason for not replacing XP as my main OS.

Creative Zen Xtra 30gb

Hi,
I'm wondering if any techie guys can help me out here. I bought a 30gb Creative Zen Xtra about 4 years ago. I used to regualy syncronize it with my pc at home. Then one day my hard disk on my PC decided to give up the ghost and died. I carried on using my mp3 player as it was for a while without actually resetting the connection up with my PC. Then one day went about sorting it out but whilst i was in the process, which I would start and often come back to whilst trying to get all the correct drivers etc, it was plugged in via USB and must have fallen off my computer desk and unfortunatly ripped the USB connection component from the mp3 players board. As it was quite an old player anyway I thought i'd have a go at repairing it myself, rather than spend money on what is esentially a bulky 4 year old mp3 player, but I have since given up trying to repair it. Although now I would like to try and transfer the mp3's, which are on the fujitsu 2 /2 inch IDE, dri've to my PC. I have tried using an IDE to USB converter to try and connect it as an additional dri've on my PC which it detects but won't bring it up as an additional dri've (i assume because it's not NTFS or FAT32 formatted). I have also tried using Linux based Fedora to try and mount the dri've, also without any luck (although i'm not overly familiar with using fedora). Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the information off my dri've, as I would like to buy a new Creative mp3 player and just transfer all these mp3's from my computer rather than have to re-record the hundreds of cd's I had uploaded over time to my Zen Xtra. Also if I have posted this in the wrong section please let me know and I will move the post. Cheers, Gary.Message Edited by hirsty on 09-27-200704:42 PM

I don't know but I certainly hope so!!! It really sucks that my Zen Xtra was bought 2 months too soon and doesn't work with Napster to go!!! I am reallllly hoping that Creative and Napster will work together so that all the creative models will work with Napster to Go!
