Also Transfer Problem with ZEN X

Finally i decided it to buy a zen xtra.
The player works fine, also the firmware update was no problem.
But then i wanted to transfer my mp3 files to the zen, i used just the nomad explorer for that(Because although i read the readme, i didn?t manage it tofind the button in Media Source for transfer :-)
But i don?t need the media source Organizer anyhow, so i just do it with Nomad explorer. Just select my mp3 files in windows explorer, right click copy, and in Nomad explorer paste it into the music library.
Ok, so i wanted to copy 4 albums this way, the first 2 were transfered well, but at the third album, it suddenly gave me an error saying :" Unknown error" and the explorer froze.
I restarted the PC and i thought, ok, the mp3 has an error, but i opened it with various programs, and it doesn?t have any error. So i tried again to copy the file to the Zen. It was weired, because this time it worked. So i thought, this was it...but it wasen?t...
I again copied a new album to the Zen and it again happened..just at any file, sometimes at file number 7, sometimes at number 2, sometimes it wordk without any problem..
But it is a pain in the ass, because i don?t want to sit in front of my PC all the time, when transfering many mp3?s...and if you come back after 5 minutes and you think it'ss ok and then you see, that at file 20 the error occured, that?s not very funny.
Does anybody has a clue about what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance..Kind regards.

Despite not wanting to use MediaSource I suggest you try it at least to see if you have the same problems.
Also you should make sure to update the firmware and MediaSource version by downloading them from?Nomadworld.com downloads and using the install instructions here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net. As emphasised there, make sure also to download and install the Nomad Jukebox Type 2 file as well.

N2G transfer problem with Zen Sl

I've had my Zen Sleek nearly a year now and have never encountered problems transferring tracks from Napster To Go until recently when I decided to format my player. Since then I am able to transfer approx 20 songs before I receive a number of error messages stating that my device is full (it's a 20 gig!), or I have no/or too many licenses, or I need to format the player. I have no problem transferring non-Napster tracks. I've downloaded all the patches, reinstalled all the programs involved in the process, and tried just about every suggestion I could find on this message board, and still I'm having this problem. Can someone please help? I'd hate to see ?200 go down the drain!
Cheers!

Are you using WinXP with WMP0 which support MTP?
If not, think you need to send back to Creative Care for service.
There is a driver and firmware in the web to convert to your ZEN sleek to MTP version, but your PC must support MTP st.
If you didn't execute reload firmware, I think the following driver will help:

You may try out see whether your PC will recognise it's
Then upgrade your firmware to MTP version in recovery mode:

But all your data in your ZEN Sleek will be lost...

Random Problems with Zen Micro? Try a diff. USB cable

I know people have mentioned this in other posts, but I thought I would reiterate it here. Many people seem to be complaining that their player is not recognized, or only sometimes recognized, or recognized by Windows (as a USB device) but not by their Creative software, or songs won't transfer, etc. Well, I had some similar problems which ALL went away when I started using a different USB cable - the one that shipped with the Micro just doesn't seem to work consistently.
So, if you are having problems with your player that you can't seem to solve any other way, you may want to try a different USB cable. It worked for me.
Hope this helps - I am (now) loving my new Micro!

I tried a different USB cable also, I thought that it would help, but I still got the same problems. I can almost guarantee that although you think you may have solved your issues, they WILL come back.
I've also been experiencing the "Player Not Connected" problem with my Zen Micro.
I've also had the problem where the Zen Micro just freezes in the "Docked" screen even after it has been disconnected from the PC
I've noticed that these are common problems with Zen Micros with the new firmware (.0.03)
My old Zen Micro with the old, original firmware did NOT have this connectivity problem
Creative should investigate these issues associated with this new firmware, or maybe even making the old firmware available for download to see if this really is the source of all these problems.

Problem With Zen Micro 5

Hi,
I have Creative Zen Micro 5 GB,The problem is, Whenever i starts player it structs?at wel come screen,?i tried scan disk but it taking lot of times,and also samething with formating,During format and scandisk i heard some noise sombody help me regarding this issue.
Thanks?

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem. The beeping noise goes on for about 0-20 seconds, right? When it stops, everything freezes, correct? And also, it freezes on the home screen. When taking ou tthe battery for fi've seconds, and then put it back in while holding the power button on, it will bring you to the recovery screen, which will continue to freeze from there, no matter which of the 4 options you choose, right? I also smell a kind of acidic smell if you take out the battery and smell the mp3 player.
So, I'm also having the same problem. How long have you had your 5 GB Micro player? I've had mine for about .5 years. This makes me uneligible for me to recieve email support.
If anyone know how to solve this problem, please respond.
PS, I'm also having problems with the headphone jack. If you push the input jack to far in, the music either stops coming through the headphones, or you can only hear it through a single channel.

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > options > advanced > general''.

Problems With Zen Touch Turn

After just recently purchasing a Zen Touch in December 2005, I already have problems with it.
I have never dropped it or hit it. I plugged it in to re-charge one day after using it and when it was done charging I turned it on, used it for 5 minutes then set it down. The next morning I went to turn it on to use it, and it wouldn't turn on. The blue light at the side on the power button was on, but the screen just wouldn't show up. Now the blue light won't turn off. I have read about these problems with Zen Micro freezing up and read about Zen Touch freezing up back in 2004 when it was released. I have phoned the number but couldn't seem to get through. Should I consider taking it in? Or is there an easier way?

Have you tried resetting it's Connect to the mains adapter and press the tiny recessed button on the side of the player. Don't use anything sharp to press it, a bent paper clip is best.

I have the same problem. It all started yesterday when I was installing the cd drivers in my new computer. I have searched numerous forums and some people had to return the product. Please admins help on this issue as I understand it is very serious.

Problem with Zen Xt

I purchased a refurbished Zen Xtra back in May and had the player lock up on several occasions. It would eventually resolve if I let the batteries drain and then recharge. The last time it happened I came to these forums and learned how to enter recovery mode. I tried to do a firmware update which failed and now the player will only boot into recovery mode. When I attempt to do the firmware update I get the message player not connected. I can see the player connected in windows and can actuall browse the HD which is obviously now empty. How can this be resolved?

Re: Problem with ZEN MX >FYes, it's true. Creative Centrale is full of **bleep**.:robotmad: You can use it only to one thing. To convert films from your computer to their stupid format called "cmv". But even with this it's stil the same problem. This is crap, because sometimes you can do it, but sometimes not. Beside of this Creative Centrale doesn't have any good functions. For further users - don't install Creative Centrale! You will have more free space and do all things (without moving films to watch on your player) just from your computer and not this **bleep**.

Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

)Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

Problem with Zen X-fi 8gb

Hi all, I'm italian so my english isn't very good, sorry
I have a zen x-fi 8gb and my problem is that when I connect the player at pc(windows xp sp2 professional) I can't transfer the files because the player recharge only, for transfer the files I must disinstall the player from hardware list and if I will be lucky I can transfer the file
Now I have to send my player in assistance or change the firmware?

I also have a Zen X-fi 8gb and I?m also using Windows XP SP2. I?m using WMP. I?m also using the Creative Media softwarethat came with my unit when I bought it a years ago. I have never had a problem with my unit just like you. I suggest uninstalling the Creative software and then try reinstalling it. I've had to do that with numerous software programs over the years that didn't work right the first time around. The second time around?has almost always taken care of the problem. Hope this hel
ps.
Good Luck!!

AudioSync Problem with Zen To

I have a problem with the audiosync on my Zen Touch. When I first got the player I loaded a bunch of music onto the player with the AudioSync and it worked fine. I recently got some more music, and I wanted to redo all my music. I found the Volume Stablizer and redid all my music with that. I then deleted all the music on my player and tried to AudioSync then redone music back onto the player. But it only takes some of my music and doesn't put my playlists in. Do I need to like format the player, or something? Any help would be appreciated.

I also have not been able to transfer playlists to my Zen Xtra. This morning i installed the newest software from Creative and it still didn't work. And "Moderator" could you please provide a direct link that actually covers what we're asking about instead of one that is a listing of every info sheet for every product. I found nothing in there that helped i went through each one last night. I got so frustrated I gave up. A complete waste of my time. After i installed the new software i made some new Smartlists, well they're not very smart because they don't even show up to be transferred, but i figured well they're "Smart" so i Sync'd. And surprise surprise, no playlists. Playlists are such basic function. Why is this not covered in the documentation provided "with" my Zen.

Problem with Zen Touch Playlists Resol

With the help of Jean-Francois, a colleague of my husband's, I figured out the problem I was having with putting playlists on my Zen Touch MP3 player in the order in which I wanted them to play, and it's a simple solution but one I thought I'd pass on to others in case anyone else runs into this problem:
Simply put, when you make playlists, have your MP3 player docked with your computer, and make sure that in the MediaSource Organizer program, the player is highlighted (well, it's a gray bar) when you start making the playlist. Then start with "new playlist," give it a name and enter the songs you want in the order you want as usual. What you're doing is actually building the playlist in the player rather than in the MediaSource Organizer, and the playlist will be created as you want it to be.
If, like me, you then want to transfer the playlist to your computer program, you'll find that it will turn up on the 'puter in alphabetical order (the problem I was having with the Zen Touch player); but it's a simple matter to click'n'drag the songs around until they're in the order you want - and, as far as I can tell, they will stay in that order once you've moved them.
So, problem solved - would have been nice if the User's Guide specifically said "you must dock your Zen Touch player to the computer while making playlists if you want the playlist to be in the proper order on your player," but we figured it out.....

Data files are often a problem with the player. It sounds like you've tried pretty much everything you can short of a disk cleanup from rescue mode.
Failing this you could try formatting the player in case something has become corrupted. Of course make sure to backup the player first.
Also there's lots of advice via the "PC connection problems with your player" link in the FAQ post.

Problems with Zen 16GB (and contacting customer suppo

I got some odd problems with my player.. I tried to contact customer support with that email whateverformthingy but it just always returned me to starting page of creative (the one where you choose region/language) when I clicked Submit.. No autoresponse either.
So, GJ with customer support. I hope, whatever the problem is, it will be fixed soon.
Anyway, here's what I tried to send to customer support:
"Hey,
I got 6GB Zen at Christmas and its acting just plain weird at the moment:
When connected through USB player
*keeps blinking full green battery&empty battery with lightning bolt over it
*reboots itself time to time. I was about to move files over and it just kept rebooting every 5~0 seconds until I un-plugged it and plugged to another USB port - after that it worked for couple minutes at started same behavior again. After I got the player it worked fine, no rebooting on it own as I moved couple GB music to it..
When not connected
*player turns display on for couple seconds every ~hour~couple hours. It doesn't show any Creative or Zen logos, its just blacklight on with full brightness for couple seconds after which it turns off again
*the battery dies fast.. possibly because of the display blinking on all the time?
The player upgraded firmware on it own when I installed software, so it has been .20.02 all the time. Also tried reinstall firmware with the recovery tool.
Any help would be welcome before I start fix things with sledgehammer.
I'd guess that full green battery&lightning bolt over empty one means battery is critical? However, the player doesn't attempt to recharge battery. Unless I remember terribly wrong, the recharging animation is empty battery filling in blocks and getting empty again, if you understand what I mean.. Anyways. What really irritates me is the player rebooting itself when I try to recharge/move files to it and that blinking display on when I don't use it..
Any help? Someone go poke the guy who's supposed to keep customer support's emailform working?
-Lanka
..or maybe email form didn't like me suggesting sledgehammer.

Thanks.
Also apparently my first message did reach customer support through email form.. Suppose I was just expecting to see something like "Message sent" after I clicked Submit - not getting bounced back to region selection.
I'll continue this with customer support.
-Lanka

Strange problem with Zen Style 300

I got a Zen Style 300 for my birthday and it is given me some problems. I tried looking at this forum and on google, but so far haven't found anything like it. What happens is that during the sync process, some folders on my portable harddisk (which is where the music is located) get renamed into names with strange symbols and become unreadable. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen with all files and just as strange is that it does happen with files not related to the sync that are located in a completely different folder. You can imagine I got quite scared the first time, afraid of having lost my music collection, but on restart everything was fine again. Until I plugged in the ZEN again that is.
My second problem is probably related to it. Part of the files transfered to the player don't show up when I try to listen to them with the player. When I check they have been copied to the player correctly, yet somehow they don't show up.
I have Windows XP and tried syncing with the standard Creative software, MediaMonkey and iTunes but they all face the same problem. Although with the second problem it might happen that files copied one way don't show up, while the same files transfered with a different program do. All 3 cause the problem with my harddisk. I tried formatting the player and updating it. So anyone has any idea what might cause this?

I have a similar problem. It recognized and paired with a Sony Ericsson MW600 Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset once. I lost connection, could no longer connect, and tried to re-pair it. Now it recognizes the the headset's name (MW600), but when you try to pair with it stays on a "Please wait..." message. It will stay that way forever until I press the back (left) arrow. Then the message says "Remote Device not responding" and pairing fails. This MW600 headset pairs with other devices (cell phone, PC) just fine, though, so it's not malfunctioning.
I suspect this might be a Bluetooth version compatibility issue? I say that because when I connect to a Jawbone Era (pretty new device, probably latest Bluetooth spec), everything goes fine.
Also, if I clear all devices, then try to pair to just the Sony Ericsson MW600, I can get the M300 in a state where it hangs and will not respond to anything. I then have to press the reset button using a paperclip to start over.
