A really annoying problem regarding the Zen Vision M 30 g

When I go to the creative media?program it says that I don't have a player plugged in. I've done the system registry editing for the USB that was on the support page, but that doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have Windows Media player 0 installed at the moment but I'm going to try to get the th version installed when I get home. Last time I tried to get it to install it wouldn't for some reason,?but I'm going to?look into that problem. I don't think this is related to the Windows Media player though.

  • Problems with the Zen Vision:M 6

    I'm experiencing a lot hangs and lockups with my Zen Vision:M 60GB,
    the newest firmware that is viable for the Zen Vision:M 60GB already
    on my Zen Vision:M 60GB, firmware version .2.02e, sometimes the
    clean up in the service mode works fine, had also a situation
    that everything went so bad that it lockedup when I turned my Zen on,
    had then to refresh the firmware and lost all my music on its hard dri've,
    costed me hours to get everything back on it.
    Please, Creative do something about these lockups bring new firmware out
    that solves these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please start supporting the Zen Vision:M 60GB again.

    I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
    I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
    problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
    I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
    till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
    the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
    the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
    with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
    somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
    asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
    They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.

  • Problem with the Zen Vision

    So I go to turn on my Zen Vision: M this afternoon. It was working fine all day.
    However, this time it did not turn on.
    Instead it displayed an icon on the screen.
    It shows the Zen with a caution sign beside it.
    This Icon still remains on the screen.
    The TouchPad buttons are lighted.
    Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
    By the way;
    I had the "blinking blue light on top" problem yesterday, fixed it though by charging it for a few hours. Thought i'd mention it if it relates to the current problem i'm having.
    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried resetting it's (Stick a needle or something long and thin into the small hole at the base of the player, near where you put the USB dock)

  • Regarding the Zen Vision M: Series Media Explorer.

    For some reason, whenever I click on it, it gives me an error message saying, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Assocations control panel."? What can I do to get it to start working again?

    Hi, is the problem occuring while your zen is docked to your computer ? I guess so right ? What I would do would be to uninstall everything from the computer, and reinstall again. Maybe you just happened to delete or misplaced an important file that now prevents it from working correctly. If you have a windows xp, you can also try to "restore" your computer back to a date where everything was working fine.Otherwise than that, I don't know anymore !Good luck, let us know if it worked !

  • 2 questions regarding the zen vision

    Hey everyone, here goes:
    . I noticed that when i look at the trtack time while playing a song, the track time sometimes freezes up. for example, im at :5, then 6: then all of a sudden im at :8 already. The audio i being played brilliantly, its just the track time thats confusing me.
    2. Is there a firmware version that will allow you to display album art full screen when you press the touchpad. On the ipod pressing the circle in the middle shows rating, and then album art. I wish the vision m would have this function. any ideas?
    many thanks

    Despite the fact that the first segment you posted was a statement and not a question at all, i'll try to take a jab at what you mean. This also happens on my device. I love the device but it is all the little things that scream for a large firmware overhaul, which it seems that in this life, Creative will not ever provide. Currently my device is experiencing the Black Screen of Death and I am heavily disappointed with Creative. Concerning your second question, I do not believe this feature to be available.

  • I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

    I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.

  • Can I leave the zen vision:m plugged to the AC charger long time, one week for examp

    Hello, I would like to use the zen vision as a jukebox, playing music 24 hours per day for long times (weeks for example), and I would like to know if is possible to leave it plugged to the AC constantly, using the power of the AC charger instead of the batteries. I would like to know exactly what would it happen, I mean, if the player is 00% charged, would it discharge or would it use only the AC power, or would it use the power of the batteries and when they begin to decrease the AC will charge them?
    I know that usually it is not very advisable let the charger plugged due to the heat buildup, but I did it to a lot of devices before (cd players for example), and I never had a problem, I think is only a little bit excessi've way of caution.
    Thank you in advance

    I would not recommend it, It isn't documented but I don't think this is the intended use of the Zen Vision:M
    Number one; the LCD screen would constantly be on, and is bound to burn out. Maybe not after a week, but a considerably short time compared to standard usage.
    Number Two; how would the motor of the hard dri've hold up, spinning continuously. Its small, very fragile and not ment for heavy duty work is my assumption.
    Number Three; As far as the battery is concerned, I don't know what would happen. I know that after the charge is complete the charging supposed to stop. But what would the effects be after never using it's Rechargable batterys can still die, and loose there lifespan when not used for a long time, and old unused batteries may leak causing some damage and maybe even an injury,
    Number Four; This a "Portable" MP3 player, and is most likely logically designed, tested, and approved under specific specifications and usage. Not to mention you'd be waseting half the funtionality of the player. The Vision:M was made to be a specticle, Look, it has a touch pad and buttons that light up. It shows movies and pictures, it can record audio, play FM Radio, and sync up with Outlook. You wanna stick something like that on a shelf for weeks?
    You need more of a stationary Jukebox with Hard Dri've support and MP3 functionality. I don't know where you can get one or even if they exist. But my guess that they'd be really expensi've.But on the other hand I'd feel more comforatable experiementing with a Zen Xtra. Because its bigger, studier, the battery is removable, cheaper, and it functionality is more focused on what you want to do which is just to play music.
    Though even it was ment to be portable....

    An update...
    I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
    Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
    When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
    So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

  • Data Recovery Software for the Zen Vision M

    Data Recovery Software for the Zen Vision M:
    Has anyone had any success recovering lost sound files from a Vision M, with software, physical repair services, or otherwise? Does anyone claim to be able to recover information from these devices?
    The data recovery programs I have tried fail to recognize the dri've, since it doesn't show up in list of dri'ves for some reason (Is there a way to make this show up?). Any suggestions/ recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I lost over a year of recordings after an unexpected forced reformatting. How would one even go about finding someone for this job?
    Thanks, GW

    Haven't really tried the data recovery so I would like to know more about this one too.

  • Connecting via Airport express: really annoying problem

    I've got a really annoying problem that doesn't make much sense. Have an airport express and my network seems to work OK mostly. My iBook can always connect, never any problem. My eMac however is behaving bizzarely. The longer I'm connected, the worse my connection gets. Until it stops working altogether and I can't access the internet at all. System preferences tells me the Airport card is on, but is not connected to a network. Can still connect to it with the iBook.
    Shut down, leave it a good while (a good while too, a short shut down doesn't do it), and it works again.
    I can't even think where to start looking, all I can think of is that I have a problem with the Airport card in the eMac (something getting hot in there perhaps). Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    I'm pretty sure the card is seated properly (it works most of the time after all). I couldn't get it to work when I installed it because it wasn't seated properly, I pushed it in as far as it could possibly go and it has worked since (except after extended periods of use). The Airport express is three feet from the eMac with only a couple of bits of wood between them. The connection does not go down at times which I can link with the use of any particular appliances (When the eMac stops working, the iBook is always fine, even in a similar position). It is the apparently time-dependent aspect that I can't figure out (I only notice it on those, fairly infrequent, occasions when I am online for a few hours at a time). The eMac discussion group is a good tip. Ta.

  • Really really annoying problem with slooooow Adress Book

    I have a really, really annoying problem with Address Book.
    Ever since I connected it with the MobileMe service it has this problem, and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried logging out and back into the MobileMe service, resetting the sync history etc., but to no avail.
    Each time I open the application it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconts, then that blooming annoying, Windows reminiscent, rotating rainbow circle appears for about a minute at a time. Then it goes away and the application works..........that is until try something demanding like adding a new group or changing a group name, then it starts over. It is making the Address Book almost unusable and very un-Mac-like.
    Can someone please help???

    Try deleting this plist:
    (yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    As well, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatibl

  • What has changed in the Playlist Creation on the Zen Vision:M compared to the older Ze

    Hi, I have a Zen Micro for a year now. It works flowlessly and I have have a lot of good time with it. But yes , there ist now the Zen Vision:M (sadly :-)).
    I have read that the way to create a playlist on the vision:M is somewhat different compared to the Zen Micro for example. Can somebody explain what has been changed. In the review was said that it is more advances , but it is not as friendly as it it on the older Zens.
    And one more thing: is the radio reception on the vision:m really a lot better than on the Micro? ( is was said in the article I read, just can't figure out where it was...) I really anticipated to be able to listen to radio with the micro, but hier in Hamburg (Germany) I can get a relati'vely clear reception of just TWO senders (from time to time). This is the point where the Micro dissapoints (my opinion ofcourse).
    Thank you!Message Edited by plam_mk on 02-04-2006 02:38 PM

    Hi Wupperbayer,
    Danke f?r die Antwort. Ja , die hat mir geholfen eine bessere Vorstellung von dem Player zu kriegen.
    Tja, ich habe echt gehofft , dass man auch die option haben w?rde, Lieder zu einem beliebigen Playlist hinzuf?gen zu k?nnen, und nicht nur zu dem, der gerade abgespielt wird. Der Radioempfang, sagst Du also ist besser. das ist f?r mich eigentlich noch wichtiger, da ich gerne ab und zu Radio h?ren will, was mit dem Micro nicht wirklich gelingt.
    Ich m?chte dich noch gerne Fragen, ob du die Videofunktion brauchbar findest, ob Du ggf nach einer Konvertierung deine Filme auf dem Player gut abspielen kannst. Wie ist die Qualit'st der abgespilten Filme? Ja, da ich es noch nicht gesehen habe, kann ich es mir nur sehr schwer vorstellen, einen Film auf dem Player in der S-Bahn zu richtig zu geniesen. Findest Du pers?nlich, dass sich die Anschaffung vom Player gelohnt hat?Der Kostet letzt?ndlich ?ber 300 Euro, und ich bin halt nur ein Student, und an Geld komme ich sehr schwer ran (daf?r bin ich aber ein gro?er Fan von Music, Filme und Fotografie :-( )
    Ja , ich bedanke mich bei Dir, wei? nicht ob ich etwa zu viel gafragt habe...
    kannst ja uch nicht alles beatnworten, oder gar nicht beantworten. Viele Gr?e
    Hi guys, I will translate in a concise manner the obove writing. I aksed whether I can take a movie. convert it propely and play it on the player. And that is not all: I just want to get most of the information from the picture as I do it on he PC, read very good quality. I have also hoped, that the possibility to add a song to every playlist, not just the one that is being played, would become a reality. But one very important thing however, is that the radio reception have been improved.

  • Does the Zen Vision:M

    Does the Zen Vision:M have the capability to play pod casts or can only Ipods play podcasts?

    That wierd, I've had two Zen Vision M's and they've both came with AC?adapters. I just recently went on a vacation where I was listeing to my ZVM alot in the hotel and on the long dri'ves along the country side. Theres no way my Zen Vision would have made it a whole week if I had not had my AC adapter.If they really wanted to cut back on the freebies they could have kept that stupid pouch and those useless MP3s that come preloaded onto the player. But the AC Adapter was essentional to the functionality of the player.

  • Where are all the Zen Vision

    I'm looking to purchase a 2nd Zen Vision M. (The first one is dead, all I get is a Hardware Problem Icon). However I noticed two things.
    . They seem to be $30 cheaper than they were in January.
    2. Everywhere seems to be sold out.
    Does anyone know a place to get one in San Diego, CA?
    Finding one online is also a chanllenge, though I did find some at Walmart.com But are they any other places with them in stock, preferably a white one?
    Why have the Zen Vision Ms been so limited everywhere?

    I would like to see this answer too as I have ordered one for $280 on Amazon in white about a week and a half ago and it has not shipped yet. This isn't too long of a wait but on the page for the white creative vision m's, people have said they have been waiting for nearly a month. I think black is in supply on Amazon but I wanted a white one but if they are going to take months to be back in supply, I'll just get a black one. Amazon is also the only place where I have seen the black one in stock, all my local electronic stores are out of supply.
