Can't perform cleanup on zen vision:m 60

I have had my Zen Vision:M 60gb for days and it has worked fine. Today when I hooked it to my pc, it was not recognized. I reset it and now the pc will recognize it, but it shows no tracks in my music library, but the free space is the same as before I lost my music. I went to the recovery mode and rebooted first, then tried to perform a cleanup but it just sits there. Is there something else I can try before I do a format?

When can we expect the next 'Zen Vision:

The title explains itself. I've had my black Zen Vision: M (30GB) since February and it's almost coming up on its 2 year... I've been waiting for any word on another line from Creative. Would anyone know anything about 'em Perhaps when Creative may at least announce something at some convention What and when I can't wait. I'm in need for a successor to my Zen Vision: M. Thanks in advance, guys.

This is the successor: the Creative Zen (http://us.creative.com/products/prod...4&product=6999) They're definitely coming out with the 32 GB version of it as well. I even confirmed it today when I called them asking about it. But I got the standard "we don't know when it will be released yet". It should be soon though because the Spec page lists it already (and the 8GB one is noticably missing there) I'm still holding off on this one though because I haven't heard if it definitely supports Rhapsody To Go yet, and no one from Creative seems to respond to my questions regarding it. I keep getting a lot of "it should", but no one really knows. Anyway, hope that hel

Can not turn on my Zen Vision M 30gb pla

Hi, Sorry to bother you guys, but my Zen Vision M 30gb player can not be turned on. When I was listening to the music, it suddenly freezing. I can not turn it off or reset it. After a while it is off automatically and can not be turned on anymore and reset also doesn't work. When I connect it to the pc. nothing really happen except the swith keeps flashing, and the pc also doesn't recognize it. Did anybody have the same experience or same problem I really appreciate it if you can help me with it. Thanks! Ning

Sounds like you need to replace the battery here's the info to open the player for that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akJDRpx6rA8? Here's a link to get a battery for the player? http://www.infinitybatteries.com/p-4...n-polymer.aspx

Can't transfer music onto Zen Vision:M

I've had my Creative Zen Vision:M for a year and bought it secondhand. Recently I upgraded my computer to Ubuntu Netbook Remix 0.04, but now whenever I open up Rhythmbox or Gnomad2 with the device docked they close down seconds after loading. This means I can't transfer music onto it. Away from the computer it works fine - I can access all the different menus and sections. I've tried formatting, cleaning up and reinstalling the firmware (using another, Windows, computer), but nothing works. Is there anything else I can do to fix it's
Thanks in advance,
Courtney

if when you see the music as shown on your computer contains a dot next to the song/artist, it means that it has not yet successfully transferrred over, outside of your computer. Some questions to consider: what is the format of the music you are trying to import? are you running this most updated version of itunes/ipod on your comp.?

Zen Vision: M and .AVI Fi

So, the official site says it cannot support it but it is odd that the Zen Vision can support it whereas the Zen Vision:M can't. So I would like to know if DivX .AVI files are supported by Zen Vision: M and if I am going to use my Zen for a mix of Music but also for video what yould you reccomend, Zen Vision or the Zen Vision: M.
Thank You,
The Demanding Consumer

Vision or Vision:M
Yes, the vision:M plays DivX files:
Supported video formats: MPEG/2/4-SP, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, compatible DivX 4,5 and XviD
The Vision is designed primarily with video in mind, with its 3.7" screen. If you plan on watching videos (30 minutes+), then I suggest the Vision. The 2.5" screen on the Vision:M is good for watching short clips but, even with my eyes, it is hard to watch it for long amounts of time. Granted, the Vision is a bigger player with a bigger price tag, but has features the Vision:M doesnt. For good reviews of both, check www.cnet.com. Both are great players, and youll be fine with either.

Zen Vision:M = iP

I just noticed, the connection for computer hookup on the Creative Zen Vision:M is the same as the iPod's hookup. I plugged a family member's iPod USB cable into my Zen Vision:M, and it had a perfect fit. This leads me to think... Would iPod sounddocks and prepherals like FM tuners or voice recorders, whatever (just examples), work with the Zen Vision:M?

I know the Zen has those built in, I was just using them as examples.
My main question was could I use my Zen Vision:M with an accessory such as an iHome or similar docking device, for what I'm looking for is something like the Travelsound (http://www.creative.com/products/pro...oduct=687&nav=), but so I can use it with my Zen Vision:M.

Zen Vision M: Artist tags (recognizing "the&quo

Not a major problem, but it would be great if someone knows something you can download to the Creative Zen Vision:M so that it detects when there is the word "the" at the beginning of the Artist Name tag and ignore.
That way, when it lists out artists all the bands that start with "the" will not be pushed together and towards the end.
Anybody know a way to get around this?
Thanks

Ah yes... The old word "The" in artist name request. This is a request that CL has had a few times over the years. I know the first time I requested it was back in Nov 2004;http://forums.americas.creative.com/....id=2735#M2735Most other brand software figured out how to do this years ago, but for whatever reason CL likes to have "The Beatles" under "T" instead of under "B" where it goes.

Zen Vision M Firmware Problem!!! Can't deal with this thing any more...

Can't deal with this thing any more...3 Hello friends I'm new in the forum
Well as the title mentions, I'm about to throw this thing oute of the window!!!
It's a 30 GB Zen Vision M, I own it ,5 years now...
I have read all the relevant posts in the forum about this player, I tried my best, nothing really worked.....
So now I have a Zen which only boots in the recovery mode!!
I have Cleaned it Up, Formated it, and tried to reload its firmware BUT when I connect it and try to reload it, in the end it always says Firmware Upgrade Failed!!Really can't understand it!!!!!
I've communicated with Creative, i wasn't at all satisfied with their responses... I think what they're trying to do is to avoid me, and earn some time with really useless suggestions which I had already told them won't work!!!So in the end they wanted me to send my Zen in Italy and pay more than 100 Euros for what an ,5 year old mp3 player?No I prefer buying a new Cowon with that amount of money!!!
Anyways I'm pretty mad now, so I'll move to the subject..
I have Service Pack 3 Windows XP in my computer, and I did roll back on the Media Player 0 from the I had, using the instructions from a previous post. The truth is that it rolled back with less steps than it showed, and I say that because it mentions in a step that in the add-remove programms, in the Windows XP-Software Updates section, I should find a Windows Media player thing which really doesnt exist and I suspect it's the Service Pack 3 because I have done the same in a SP2 and worked exactly as the steps said..Anyway the fact is I have Windows Media Player 0 now!!!
Please someone tell why can't I upgrade my firmware... I can't deal with this anymore!!!!

I have rebooted it several times but its just the same thing...it shows firmware problem!!
Why isn't this player working?I've seen many people, not only from here, who have the same exact problem and they gave up on their mp3... I dont have this kind of luxury to buy a new one!!I don't know whether Creative has put on this a "time bomb" or is just faulty, but I really wish it could be saved..
I'm saying it is WMP0 because the firmware file sees the player. The computer can recognize it but with WMP components that firmware file would be grayed-out..So when you reloaded the firmware did you choose "reload firmware" Before you connected it's?(That is what erases the firmware prior to uploading the firmware. If you did not do that it could cause it to fail.Do these ste

Zen Vision M 30gb, used to be able to download music from I tunes, can't now, need he

I had another computer with I tunes loaded, also used Zen vision M on it along with I Pod, new computer has both products downloaded on it, but for some reason it wont recognize the Zen or let me download music from the i tunes library like i used to. also this computer uses windows vista. Can anyone help

So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version). They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder. You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
I can't think of any other way to get it back...
NOTE: An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1. If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
I use an even older iPhone (original). I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer. When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.

Zen Vision M:60Gb poor bass performa

I've recently purchases a Zen Vision:M 60Gb to replace an IRi'ver. I am not pleased with the bass response, and was wondering if anyone knew a way to improve it. I have tried setting the EQ and adding bass boost, which is a very mild improvement, this also has the added annoyance of clipping/distorting anything with deep bass notes (Portishead, American Beauty theme etc)I have tried with both Shure E3c, and Sennheiser HD595, and neither has the deep bass response that I am used to. Is this just a firmware issue?I currently encode using the highest setting in WMP 0, is there a better way to rip cds?If anyone could suggest a solution I would be very greatful, as it has got to the point where I am starting to think 'Ipod' and no-one deserves that!I apologise if someone has covered this in another thread, I did a search and couldn't find one, but I am new.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately 5 isn't quite loud enough for me. I wonder if there is a chance that Creative will improve the firmware to provide a better bass response, if this is possible?I have since read that European firmware can be limited, my player is at the latest available version, so I was going to try putting the American firmware on it to see if it improves the output. I have also now had a shot of a colleagues Ipod, and it is not any better, sound quality in general is in fact?worse, so thankfully I won't have to go down that route

Creative Zen Vision W - Liquid Crystal broken, Can it be Fixed ????

Hi guys
the actual plastic screen is intact but the liquid crystal behind it is shattered so i can't see the screen. The player still functions and i use it as an mp3 blind but i can't of course watch videos anymore or search for songs. Luckily when it broke it was set to random jukebox

Where I can find free drivers for Creative Zen Vision

I've lost my Creative Zen Vision:M drivers, so I can't share with my friends my music, videos and photos. Do you know where I can find these free drivers for Zen Vision:M?

I've downloaded Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02e and it says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". I've connected my Creative Zen Vision:M with PC and it always says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". What I must do now Thanks.

Where can I download back ZEN Vision:M 60GB firmware v1.10.04_0.0.

Hi all,
I bought my Zen Vision:M 60GB a few days ago and somehow I made
the firmware doesn't work. I tried to find it from Creative Labs official website.
They only provide the one for 30GB.
Does anyone know where I can download the firmware back?
Thanks a lot.
Holly

Cat,
Of course if my Zen Vision M doesn't have any troubles of the firmware, it is good to buy.
But right now, creative labs put this out of the market and not ready the firmware for the customers even the original one... well, I don't mean that other people should not buy it but if they have the same probelm like me. Go to the customer service center is the only way to solve it... I also think it is not becuase how new of Zen Vision M 60GB, upload the original firmware is easy, right? And no one can guarantee that when I would screw up the firmware, right?
Also, the supporting team keeps telling me that the one online is good for 30GB and 60GB... well, I did try it. My Zen Vision M just told me that I need to connect the MP3. I did but the firmware didn't detect it.
I would like to go to the customer service center in Hong Kong. But their office hour is same as me even mine is longer than them... and they don't open it on publish holiday and sunday. Tell me what should I do? Yeah, right, apply a day off and go to the custmer service center and just for that... As you said it is very new MP3 player, I hope they have enough hardware or software to fix my problem.

Zen vision m 60 gb is locked-up, can't even shut it

Hi I just bought a zen vision m 60 gb? ( just got it yesterday)?and it was working good last night and this morning. I went and bought some sony headphones (model no. MDR-EX5LP) and was listening to music with them, got home and hooked it up to my pc to transfer some more music and it didn't see the player. Then I tried to hook it up to my desktop and the same thing. Then I tried to shut it off and none of the controls worked. It was playing a album at the time and now the album is over, the clock is still working, the batery icon has a yellow bolt through it, it was charged. The LCD is lit-up and stuck at the album that it was playing when it locked up. Can anyone help me I was going to call customer support but not open on the weekend. Can I reset it with the power on? Is there anything I can do to get going again? Thanks Tim

I'm not sure if it will affect the warranty or not, because from what I know the ZVM has to be slightly disassembled to get to the battery, however, unless theres a sticker that says something similar to "Warranty Void If Broken" then it should be ok. Might want to check there support area, because it could have the answer to that question.
