Help! Zen no longer shows up in media player or playcent

Help! I've had my zen for a couple years now (its the old 0GB version) and never had any problems..until today. Tried to upload some new mp3s onto the player, hooked player up to laptop via USB, I can still hear the little sound it makes when its connected but when opening creative playcenter and pressing refresh..all I get is "Preparing library" and then it just freezes until it comes up with "player is busy" or "No device is connected." I tried restarting both player and laptop..no change.. what should I do?
I went to the website and read that it should be started in recovery mode.. but I can't get the player to enter that mode! I followed the instructions but nothing.. player still runs normally otherwise.
Should I reinstall playcenter and drivers?
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful

look in the boot camp forums, there's a huge post about 80 pages long about people who make partition changes, see if someone there will help you
if not, the only other solution is you have to reinstall Windows, OSX or both to properly reclaim all space
officially, you cannot have more than 2 partitions when you boot camp, so having a joint place to store files will not work

  • All songs not showing up in media player

    I loaded songs onto my 8gb microsd card. I can see that the songs are on the card (on the computer and in the phone) but all of them do not show up under media player. When I explore the memory card, I can play the songs that are not on the media player when I go through the folders so I know they are not DRM protected. How can I get the songs to show up in the media player?

    Hi,
    If you are able to see the songs on the media card and they play as well, I wouldn't
    think the method to move the media is the issue. The issue seems to be the
    indexing of the catalogue.
    On the Blackberry go to the main media home screen.
    Menu key, explore, media card. Find the music folder, menu key show hidden.
    Delete the BBthumbs.dat file. Do a battery pull and return to the media screen
    and let the phone fully re-index the files. See if you have all files listed.
    Thanks,

    Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

  • Zen VW not showing up in Media Sou

    I have a one year old Zen VW. I recently reformatted my pc, it had been two years on that install and needed it. Anyway when I reinstalled everything back my Zen is not recognized by Creative Media Source. When I connected it via USB, Windows sees the device and asks what I want to open it with. I select Creative Media Explorer. Everything works fine here. I can see files on my Zen and everything else. It just does not show up in CMS. I am asking for help, because I prefer to drag and drop playlists in CMS with my Zen attached.
    Other info:
    I am running Windows XP Pro with all the updates. I downloaded the software for my creative sound card and Zen from the web two weeks ago when I reformatted. So its all new drivers and ap
    ps.
    Thanks for any help.

    There is another possible cause - which I found from this board - if you ever had an Iomega driver loaded on your PC e.g. from a Zip dri've, but there are other Iomega drivers around too, this can causes this problem. (Don't ask why............). If you can find a Iomega driver on your PC, you need to delete it. This worked for me - and I had a similar problem to you before I deleted the Zen driver. Honeyrose

  • Songs not showing up in Media Player

    I copied song files (mp3) from my computer to the BB Curve 8330 using the Roxio Media Manager.  The song files show up on the phone through the Media Manager, but when I launch the Media Player on the phone, several bands/albums do not show up in the list of available music.  Anyone know why this might be happening?  Thanks!

  • Zen Micro not recognised after installing Media Player 11 Bet

    Can anyone help?
    I've updated Windows Media Player 0 to version Beta 2 and now my Zen Micro (Firmware 2.2.02 Playforsure) isn't recognised anyway on my system.
    I've tried to re-install the CD but this doesn't do anything. I've download all the updates I can find on Creative's website and that does nothing.
    I can't even use the Zen Micro MTP exlorer as this has disappeared off my system.
    I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    HELP!

    The problem will be the same I would think because the issue is that the player is an older one, so WMP does not recognise it. Unless they change it in te full version, which is probably only a slim chance, you will still need to download the hotfix and the other update.
    But if i were you i wait for the full version anyway, the Beta 2 is better but still far from perfect...

  • Zen Touch sync problem with Windows Media Player

    Please can someone tell me how to get my zen touch to sync with WMP it worked fine until i was advised to install an update to it and it has stopped recognising it! I'm using windows Xp home and have the latest "plays for sure" firmware on the player, Also another problem i cannot install the creative mediasource software to the pc as its wants the player connected and it doesn't recognise the player either!!! the player is recognised in the device manager though can anyone help me please thanks in advance.

    I am having a similar problem. I've upgraded firmware(2..0), mediasource(5.0.38), drivers(plays for sure), and Media player(), in that order. After each update, I checked how things worked. That's how I discovered I needed the next. With WMP 0, things were working fine, but I wanted WMP back on my computer. Since then, in CMS5 it takes about 7 minutes to load the player, at least 0 minutes (or sometimes not at all) to edit anything (tag info or playlist) and WMP hangs completely. I've seen that other people have gotten this combination to work with their Zen touch players. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Use of Zen Vision M with in car media player functionali

    I have an Alfa Romeo car which has the "Blue & me" option. This supports media players syncronised via Windows Media player to play music back via the in car entertainment system (plugged in via a USB port in the car).
    I have successfully used an Apple ipod(syncronised with MP3 files) and a NOMAD MUVO player but cannot get my new Zen Vision M to be recognised by the system in the car. Does anyone have experience of this and any possible soltuions?
    Many thanks
    Paul

    I have just bought an Alfa with Blue & Me media player and would like to know how to get around the problem of my Zen not being recognised by the system. I have used a friends ipod?and it worked so I know that the actual car system works. I have contacted Alfa but they have just turned it around and asked me to contact Creative for a solution, (and let them know the outcome!!)? which I have done and are still awaiting a reply. I would be grateful if anybody has come up with a solution to this problem if they could let me know. Hoping for an answer . GW

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • Why do burnt tracks not show in Windows Media Player?

    Just managed to get CD burn to work on Vista (see below)
    But the list of tracks does not display if I play the burnt CD under Windoes media Player.
    What is going on - I have enabled "write CD text"
    For some reason iTunes is able to show artist/title for each track
    Just to confirm: iTunes under Vista only works after I loaded updated GEAR software from http://disc-tools.com/download/sptdbeta

    Hi,
    If you're using Windows 7, it may be worth trying to reset Windows Media Player as follows.
    Click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and untick Windows Media Player.  Click Yes then OK and then restart the notebook.
    When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and tick Windows Media Player.  Click Yes then OK and when WMP has finished installing, restart the notebook again. 
    Launch WMP and go through the initial set-up, then check if the tracks now play Ok.

  • (Zen Xtra) Files opening in Windows Media Player instead of Mediasou

    I just updated the Firmware, and now when I plug my player in, Windows Media player opens it and Creative Mediasource will not recognize my player. I tried uninstalling Mediasource, then reinstalling, but still didn't help. Anyone else have this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions?

    If you have update the player using the PlayForSure firmware, make sure you have download and install the PlayForSure plugin file too for MediaSource.

  • My imovies no longer show up in media options when i am trying to make a DVD from iDVD.

    it says "to se imovie projects here, use imovie 3 or later..." but i have not changed anything. even more odd, when i tell it to look at an external drive where i store old imovies it sees only a few of the many i have there. it's like the extensions of some movies got changed or something. help please and thanks.

    Where do I find the idvd icon so I can burn a dvd?
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra stops working with XP following Windows Media Player 11 Beta Installat

    Yesterday I was very pleased to find that my Creative Zen Xtra (model DAP-HD00) portable media player is a PlaysForSure capable device. Creative Labs, on November 9, 2005, released the Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware v2.0.03. I installed this firmware (I had to install the Creative ZenJukebox Driver v.30.03 first to get Windows to recognize the device). Once the firmware was upgraded, Windows began recognizing the Zen Xtra as a MTP device and life was good. I was able to synchronize it with both Napster To Go and Windows Media Player 0.
    After this, I went ahead and installed Windows Media Player Beta, which I just downloaded yesterday as well.
    From a functional standpoint, WMP seems to run just fine. However, when I connected the Creative Zen Xtra (with its PlaysForSure firmware), Windows redetected the hardware. It first showed "Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra" in the tooltip, followed by "MTP Device" in the new hardware tooltip. Finally, Windows announced that there was a problem installing my new hardware and that it may not work properly.
    Sure enough, when I went into Device Manager, my Zen Xtra was showing as an MTP Device with an exclamation point on it. More specifically, it specified the status of, "This device cannot start (Code 0)."
    Prior to the installation of Windows Media Player, the Creative Zen Xtra showed in device manager with the following characteristics under the heading "Windows Portable Devices":
    Name: NOMAD Jukebox Zen XtraDriver Version: 5.2.0.0 dated 8/30/2004Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
    Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.3802.3802 built by dnsrv(bld4act)
    Windows Media Player changed this to the following (the device now shows up under "Portable Devices"):
    Name: MTP DeviceDriver Version: 5.2.5326.4762 dated 2/22/2006Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
    Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.5358.4827 (WMP_.060509-2009)C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys - v6.0.5348.0(winmain(wmbla).0604-339)
    The file wudfrd.sys is NOT digitally signed in this case.
    As of now, my Zen Xtra is completely unusable on this system, and I need to sync it with my laptop for the time being, which still has WMP 0 installed on it.
    Is this a bug with WMP beta? Is it a problem with my firmware? Since this is PlaysForSure compliant firmware, and it worked flawlessly with Napster and WMP 0 (before the MTP driver was updated), it would seem to be a WMP beta issue. I'd like to hear more official confirmation on the subject, however.
    Some general details about my system are:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2Verified GENUINE Microsoft operating system using Genuine Advantage ValidationIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, Hyper-Threaded processor2.00 GB RAM
    Windows Media Player Version: .0.5358.4827Napster Version: 3.6.0.7 (US)
    Any recommendations? Fixes? Some have suggested rolling back the WMP installation, but I would like to consider this option only as an absolute last resort.
    Best regards,Matt

    Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
    I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
    After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
    Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
    Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
    Thanks.

  • Windows Media Player 11 not recognizing files on Creative Zen X-Fi?

    I recently made an attempt to synchronize the files on my Creative Zen X-Fi to my Windows Media Player library to transfer them to my other MP3 player, however I receive this message when I attempt to view the files and sync them: "There are no files on this device. To begin, sync files to the device." The files are definitely existent as I can listen to and view them on the device and WMP has recognized there is only 8 MB of space remaining. Could you help me resolve this problem? Thank you
