  • PLEASE HELP - Serious problem with my Creative Zen Touch firmware

    Ok, so I finally decided that I would upgrade to the latest firmware version for my Creative Zen Touch. I knew that doing so would erase everything on it, so I backed up everything onto my computer's hard dri've. So from that standpoint, I'm in the clear.
    HOWEVER, during the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my precious MP3 player without ANY firmware. This then drove it into "recovery" mode, where I can either clean up, format, or reload firmware. I've gone through each of these options, but when I go to "reload firmware" my computer will no longer detect my Zen! I've tried reinstalling different driver versions, different firmware versions, etc. The bottom line now is that my mp3 player has no firmware, and my computer won't detect it.
    I feel like I probably need to go back to the basics. Unfortuantely, I don't have my installation CD with me. Can anyone post the initial installation file please? Thanks in advance!
    I really hope I can work this out, I don't know if I've gone a day without my Zen in the past two years!

    Simon, this is actually a common problem with the touch. Mine did it about a year after purchase, so I was safe to open it up and fix it. It is actually a really simple fix and is due to a loose connector. I know alot of other people on nomadness.net were having this problem, so I posted a solution here. Hope this helps!

  • PLEASE, PLEASE HELP: Big problems with my Zen Touch. (Firmware/driver issu

    So here's the deal:
    Last night I thought I'd finally take the time to upgrade my Zen Touch to 2. from .3 or something like that. I noticed that there was a warning saying that this was no small upgrade, and that I should back up everything I have on it.
    I'm glad I did, because now my MP3 player situation is seriously screwed up, big time. During the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my Zen Touch without firmware (ok, so firmware version 0.0.0). Upon turning the device on, it boots up in recovery mode. This allows me to either format, clean up, or "reupload" firmware. I've tried all of these options, but the fact is clear that my computer simply will no longer recognize my MP3 player.
    It does, however, recognize it at as a generic storage device. However, this isn't enough for me to reinstall the player's firmware unfortunately.
    So basically, I can't update driver or firmware right now, because my computer won't acknowlege my Zen Touch!
    Somebody please, please help.
    I've already tried using the setup file from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm.
    Seriously, please help!

    Sort of success!
    I now finally have firmware 2. installed on my Zen Touch! Yeah! I'm not entirely sure how I did it, and I'm not bothering to find out, I'm just glad I finally got it on there.
    But some problems still remain. After all this fiddling with my driver and firmware and whatnot, my computer just doesn't see my MP3 the same way as it used to. Before, it was great, all I had to do was plug her in and I could bring up Zen Explorer in Windows Explorer, or organize my stuff in Creative MediaSource.
    Now that's not the case. The only way I can sort of add stuff to my player now is by going into Windows Explorer, which is still more or less acknowleging my player as a "portable device". Granted, there is a dri've called "My Zen", but it doesn't bring up Zen Explorer like it used to when I click on it. Furthermore, when I go into MediaSource, I can't select it as a location, there just isn't anything there.
    It almost seems as if my computer thinks I'm just using a portable hard dri've. Is there anyway I can tell it that it's an MP3 player, too?
    Thanks!

  • Having a serious problem with my Zen Xtr

    Okay, today I turned on my Zen, hoping to actually enjoy the device, when I'm greeted with the Creative logo, and then the EAX logo. After that, the Recovery Screen pops up, telling me I need to do a clean up, format, or reinstall the OS. I try to clean up, and it just doesn't do anything at all. Formatting and OS reinstall both came out with the same results, a screen that said there was a Harddri've problem.
    I've already tried updating the firmware and drivers, but it just freezes during the update.
    Any help would be glady appreciated...hoping I'm not about to throw 300 bucks away.

    You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net at your OWN RISK. If you don't want to try this or are under warranty then contact Creative Support.
    If you aren't under warranty you can contact Creative Support to see if they will repair it. If you want to try repairing it yourself, taking the risk the hard disk is at fault, then you can follow Rudi Cheow's excellent guide. There's also a thread here at the Zen Nomadness.net forum on compatible dri'ves, and the last page of Rudi's guide also has information on this.

  • Serious Problem with my Zen To

    This started happening a couple of weeks ago. My Zen Touch 40G mp3 player started making a sort of scraping noise on the inside and would lock up and not play on certain tracks. I thought this could be a software problem, so I loaded all of my tracks from the mp3 player to my PC Music Library, formatted the mp3 player and loaded the songs. Again, the problem persisted. Finally, I installed the latest Firmware and Software updates for the player, and the problem went away for a couple of days, but again today, the problem started AGAIN. I have no doubt in my mind now that this is a hardware problem. The noise almost sounds as if the hard dri've can't find what it's looking for, and if you hold the player to your ear, you can hear a "beep" that goes along with the noise. Can anyone please help me with this problem?

    Ok how long have you had this mp3 player. If under a year send it to creative with anote and explain what is happening.
    as Madwie said you should really send it back for either repair or replacement, is the Zen Touch still under warrenty? because that seems like the Hard disk is well kinda broken to put it blintly.

  • Help Me, problems with my Zen Micro. (please see inside for scenar

    I turned on my Zen Micro
    then it is stucked at the CREATIVE LOGO
    so I did the Recovery Mode
    I chose Clean Up
    So a window came out that says something like are you sure you want to clean up so I chose YES.
    then a window came out that says "Scan Disk or Scanning Disk"
    I thought that my problem is already over
    but, Oh My God! I've already been waiting for like 8 hours and the window saying "Scan Disk" is still not finish. waaaaaa!
    then I thought, probably Clean Up is not the solution
    I tried Format All
    then a window came out saying "Formatting"
    What the! I did it like in the evening and I slept for like 0 hours to check in the morning, but still, it is still not finished.
    What is this?
    I also have a problem, my computer doesn't recognize my Zen, and just to double my bad luck I lost my warranty receipt.
    Oh my Lord, please help me.

    So -
    I have received a message from support, stating that the player most certainly is irreparable - and instructions on how to return it to have it replaced.
    It seems to me that the player harddisk is broken/damaged. This may be a result of using it while jogging/running... (in my view) It is dissapointing that the player can't handle this - which of course must be considered a fairly normal usage. I have experienced some skipping earlier, but never thought this would affect the player to such an extent.
    Hopefully - this is not a fault that applies to every Zen Micro out there, although your posts may indicate that this may be an issue with several players.
    regards,
    BjOlav

  • Help! Problems with my Zen Mi

    Hi,
    I own an orange Zen Micro, 5gb and it worked fine, until suddenly, when i turned it on, it gets stuck with the CREATIVE logo on the screen i entered the recovery mode but nothing happened, also my computer does not recognize it when plugged in, can somebody tell me how to reset it or what can I do?
    Thank you in advance

    Mine is doing the same thing. Is it recommended to let the battery run out , then try to recharge it again fully before attempting to go into Recovery Mode? I managed to get it to Recovery Mode and selected 'Scan Disk" and it brought up the scan disk screen and never did anything. I left it, because the online support said that it might take a while depending on how much you have on the player and how much useage. So i left it overnight on Scan Disk and it ran itself out of battery.

  • Help me please : Serious problems with collection-mapping, list-mapping and map-mappi

    Hi everybody;
    I have serious problems with list-mapping, collection-mapping and map-mapping.
    Acording to specifications and requirements in a system I am working on it is needed to
    get a "list" of values or an indivudual value.I am working with ORACLE 9i Database,
    ORACLE 9i AS and ORACLE 9i JDEVELOPER.
    I tried to map a master-detail relationship in an entity-bean, using list-mapping.
    And this was very useful in order to get a "list" of details, ...but, when I wanted
    to get a single value I have some problems with persistence, something about "saving a state"
    despite I just want to get the value of a single detail.
    I decided to change it to map-mapping and the problem related with a single detail
    worked successfully, but I can get access to the whole bunch of details.
    May anyone of you help me with that?
    I am very confused I do not know what to do.
    Have any of you a solution for that problem?
    Thank you very much.

  • VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY ZEN MICRO AND MEDIASOURCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE RESPOND

    Ok so a while back I had to give up my computer because it wasn't working.
    I thought that with my new computer I'd be able to transfer all of my music from my zen micro onto my new computer.
    Now my new computer is set up and I have installed creative mediasource and everything. I started to transfer my music from my zen onto my computer. My first 2 songs transfered successfully onto my computer. On the third song, I get this message:
    "Unable to read file, file may be in use, missing, or corrupted."
    I thought that maybe it was just that one song so I shrugged it off. But then it says the same thing for every single other song that i have! Only my first 2 songs out of my entire music library on my zen will transfer!!!
    Please i really need your help!!!
    And say that there is no hope in getting the rest of my songs to transfer and i have to download 094 songs from limewire? I'll surely be arrested for downloading that much! What should i do if i must download all of them?
    And one more problem with my zen: Some of my Jump Little Children songs are doing something weird. The song will be fine and then a clip from another song will play during it! And then press next and it just keeps playing all of my Jump songs in order even though my player is on shuffle and they do the same thing with the clip from another song interupting it. Whats going on?
    Most importantly though, i really need the questions answered about transfering from my zen to my computer because i'll be getting a new player soon. But this is my entire music library at stake!! PLEASE RESPOND!!!

  • Problems with my Zen V P

    Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me sort out a problem with the Zen V Plus that I bought a couple of months ago. Today the battery ran out so I plugged it into my laptop and left it to charge. After?a few hours I checked how it was going, and it was nearly full, so I decided to leave it for a bit longer so it could top?up completely. However, when I came to stop the charging, I discovered that the device no longer responds to any button that I press. Also, it isn't detected by my computer when its plugged in. I have charged it'sbefore with no problems.

  • Apple Have Serious Problems With 10.7.5

    Apple have very serious problems with their software and they do not have the courage to openly admit this to their customers. My company has been dedicated to Apple and all that is good. We have 2 Imacs, I macbook Pro, 1 mac Mini, 1 mac mini server, 1 ipad, 4 iphones and peripheries. I am on the verge of placing them all on a heap and putting a sledgehammer to them all because I am certain that 10.7.5 is such a corrupted release that even Apple technicians cannot help. My company has been on more and more get around fixes that are becoming more and more complicated by the minute. For the last 4 weeks I have been working 8 to 8 daily including some of the weekends to try and fix things. I have had the pleasure (genuinely) of working for two days following a knowledgeable Apple Technicians instructions to resolve a cloud issue and as of today I sit with one imac completely unusable with all sorts of errors and malfunctions - all software based. Other symptoms on other hardware include error messages saying the computer restarted due to a problem with the computer - even though we are carrying out clean shutdowns or restarts; inconsistent acceptance of passwords to i cloud on most equipment but in particular as highlighted above; nearly all applications opening on restart (I do know how to shut that off - in theory!!!!!!!); frequent and very lengthy beachballs; keychain is an absolute mess, slowdowns to the extent that I have to work on three machines to get the minimum of work done; and other random malfunctions or error messages. Apple's positive attitude to its customers used to be second to none. It seems to me that software (and hardware) releases are now too rushed and Apple do not care about software failures but rely on customers to troubleshoot the glitches for them and do so under warranty or more likely care plan support at further cost to the customer.
    Just look at all the questions being asked by customers via web searches on the above issues and more. Lots of questions, no reliable fixes, and certainly no interest shown by apple to resolve the issues - in fact Apple have adopted the say and do nothing approach.
    I love the products and have been a loyal ambassador to Apple but now my stress level, and the inability of my company to engage its business put me on the verge of taking every item my company owns with an Apple logo and at least gaining some satisfaction by placing them all in a heap and smashing the lots with a sledgehammer (deliberate repeat as this is now a realistic option)
    It used to be a pleasure to use the products, and efficient. I am not looking for help on these matters as an Apple technician is working very hard with us but I feel he is as frustrated as us. We are nowhere nearer resolving our problems and almost daily there are other glitches emerging.
    Apple are losing their way. They must listen to the directions given them by their customers frustrations.

  • My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget

    My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
    I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
    When I look at  'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed?  If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field.  My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
    Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.

    Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form.  You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
    If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan.  This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents".  Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
    There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues.  On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
    Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
    I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get.  You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later.
