Zen Xtra shuts down after a few hours, loses pl

Before I updated my Nomad Zen Xtra to the 2.0.03 code, I could go up to 24 hours without it going into shutdown mode (ie. I could turn it on, and it was still on, at the same place I left off at). Now, it seems like I walk away from it for a few hours, and when I come back, it starts up like it was just first powered on, and I always lose my place. I use this thing primarily for audio books, and it sucks to lose your place when you're 3 hours into a file. The only way it doesn't lose the spot is if it's plugged into the AC adapter.
Is there any way to fix this, or change this? That is, aside from having to bookmark my spot every time I stop using the thing? That's annoying.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Frank

please help!
i've tried the method in the other topic with the guy/gal who was having the same problems as me and it didn't work.

Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know. Each time I was watching a video.

Apps shut down after a few seconds, apps shut down after a few seconds

Hi. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS5.1.1. Since the update, all of my apps, including messeges and email, close after a few seconds. I can't send messages, or use any of the apps. I have reformatted the device several times, and also done a fresh install as a new user. I still have the same problem. Can anyone give me suggestions?

Thanks. Tried this and still not working. I can't even send a lengthy sms or email, as EVERY app shuts down after a few seconds. Sometimes it even fails to launch. The battery life is less than 4 hours, even after turning off 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth and cellular data.
It must be a hardware problem, as the phone gets extremely hot as well.
Apple are far from helpful. Their customer service is dreadful, if you live outside of the States. No telephone or email support. Time to flush the phone and buy a Samsung Galaxy 3.

if you are subscribed to the Hardwell podcast... quickly open the Podcast app and delete the most recent Hardwell podcast from 3/22.
for some reason that's causing the crash. i've deleted and it works fine again.

When I start iPhoto it opens up but shut down after a few seconds. Any advice please?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. If that does the same or you can't create a new library try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Dv5t-1000 CTO Sound sputters and OS slows down after a few hours

I am running Vista 32bit SP1 on a DV5T-1000 CTO machine, 4gb ram 2.0ghz c2d
I've noticed that after a few hours of use, usually after I leave the machine on alone and coming back to it, the sound completely degrades and the OS response completely slows down to a crawl. It is especially prominent if I go to something like youtube and watch a video. the whole thing sputters and stutters and sounds horrible and the os slows to a crawl.
however, if I pause the video, until it's fully loaded, THEN play it, all is well, and my OS goes back to full speed...
but the longer I leave my PC on the WORSE it gets. if I leave it overnight, and come back in the morning, the result is horrible. I have an audio alert to notify me if I have email. normally it just does a quick 'beeep-booop, taking about a quarter of a second' as it flashes the message in the corner. If i leave the machine on over night, the next morning the message will go 'b-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-p-p-p-p-p-p b-b-b-b-o-o-o-o-o-o-p-p-p-p-' and takes about 5 seconds to complete the notification!
At this point, if I try to restart the computer, or shut it down from the start menu, it does nothing. I go to start select restart, nothing. I go to start, select shutdown, nothing. I have to physically hold down the power button and kill the computer!
I've updated to all the latest drivers for all my components straight of the h-p site. I even tried upgrading my nvidia drivers to the latest from nvidia.com. that didn't work so I reverted back to the h-p ones (from LAST YEAR by the way, can we get an UPDATE!)
so please, tell me WHAT GIVES! In addition to using my computer for daily activities, I also produce music on it. And if I use my pc for more than 2 hours, and I want to work on music, I have to reboot or suffer as my computer completely locks up.
PS. this thing says I cant make a word using the letters h and p... is this a JOKE?!?!?!?!?!?!

sorry about my tone, I don't realize how I sound when I'm typing, though I do think it's ridiculous that a forum about h-p doesn't allow you SAY h-p
anyway, I'm still at a loss for what to do, and it just occured to me that this may not be the place to get official help. are there h-p people here? or should I be contacting support? I have a feeling all they're going to tell me is to update the drivers...

Km3m mobo shut down after a few seconds

i have been playing with this new mobo for a while now trying to get it to work
it keeps shutting down after 15 or so seconds, so i tried every possible combination
with the power sw and reset sw and such. still had problem so i came on here to read up on similar problems. then i read some advice that cpu might be overheating or heating to quickly and is causing comptuer to shut off. so i took out the cpu and turned her on and she didnt not shut down so i am assuming that i have this problem. the advice given to the other guy was to make sure the hsf paste was on correctly. now is the paste that improtant or is the hsf defect any advice?

yeah i didnt put the paste on the die, didnt think it made such a difference, have to wait a little bit to go get some more paste. but now the original psu is not working,( it was an hour ago), i got another that is but i cant keep it. the fan works when you do the green wire black wire trick so i am really confused now. yes wires are connected properly
oh rates on psu non- working one +3 @ 28a, +5@40a, +12@17a
3+5 total max 220w, total 380w
working one +3@38a +5@28a +12@23a
3+5 total 240, total 380

MacBook Retina shuts down after a few seconds after every boot

Hi there
My retina macbook keeps shutting down after booting and rebooting by its own a minute later. No error message is displayed or anything like it, it just magically shuts down.
It had been working fine until now but it seems to be going crazy for whatever reason...
When it shuts down by itself, I can't turn it on myself. It does it on its own even if the lid is closed and then shuts down again after about 30 seconds.
This only happens when it's connected to a power source (it doesn't even start when it's not).
I have tried to reset the PRAM without success.
The only time the issue doesn't happen is when I do a Safe Boot.
Can anybody tell me what is up with my Macbook (I really need it for work AND school).
Thanks

Have you done a SMC reset?

IMac - Slowing Down After A Few Hours

After restart, the system is quick.
After a few hours, User Switching and Application launching is very slow.
Lots of spinning red wait time.
Cannot see any process names taking up CPU cycles.
Not sure about the memory situation. 3 hours after restart I'm seeing:
Wired 87
Active 277
Inactive 138
Used 501
Free 16
VM Size 7.6G
Page In 125446
Page Out 60662
Any ideas how to chase this problem?
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512K, 2G Dual Core

Number one is memory. I can tell you that the new Intel systems absolutely love memory, and judging by your pageouts you're way under what it needs. I've installed 2gb in mine, and on numerous occasions I've checked my Activity Monitor and it's been using nearly 1gb. I'd recommend upgrading the memory asap.
Number 2 is programs. How many are you trying to use at once? 512 won't support many. I don't mean to sound like I'm insulting you or anything... not sure if you've been using Mac long or not... but are you closing out programs after using them or just closing the windows?

Playbook shuts down after a few mintutes when streaming Video.. how can I fix this?

Hi There, new to this forum as I just purchased the Playbook 32GB. I really like this tablet and bought the micro HDMI cable so I could hook it up to my 1080p TV. Anyway, we're streaming video on the browser and after a few mintutes the Playbook screen starts to flicker and then turns black and disconnects from my wi-fi connection.
This is quite frustrating as we like the idea of streaming movies and dramas off the tablet to our TV and being able to enjoy it witout the tablet shutting down. I understand the shut down mode is to conserve the battery's power, but this even happens when the unit is plugged in. I understand this also happens when you download things for more than 5 mintutes as well as listen to music for longer then 5 mintutes the Playbook auto shutdowns.
Can this be resolved with an ap or software upgrade provided by BlackBerry? Any suggestions on how to fix this is much appreciated!
Thanks!!!

i have not tried to stream nor do i have an account to try. my vids on playbook do play for hours though.
send me a pm with login info and i could test for you on mine
