Connection Detection! Zen Nano. It says it isn't connected... But it

I connected it to my USB, I have windows ME and I tried both USB ports. the Lcd displays a diagram showing it is connected but the Zen Nano Mwdia Explorer says it isn't! I download a driver but to no avail, a message popped up and said it could not find a specific file. it asked for my window ME disk. I clicked skip this file, and it just shows zen nano not connected to USB

HT5444 App store says Mac isn't compatible but I believe its compatible

I have a Imac with 2.5 Gb memory, Mac OS X 10.6.8, and It's 2007 and newer. What I check the about this mac option, it doesn't tell whether it's a Snow Leopard or Lion installed? I feel it's upgradable. Can you tell me what to do?

If you are running 10.6.8, it is Snow Leopard. So what isn't it supposed to be compatible with? Here are the requirements for Lion:

Error message saying computer isn't authorized, but already authorized?

Help!
I just got a new computer (windows 7), and it's saying that I can't download a bunch of videos & music that I purchased through iTunes because I'm not authorized on this computer. Then I go to authorize it, and it says "you are authorized on this computer and up to 5 others", but it still won't download what I purchased on the iTunes store! The "support" page is NO help at all, and I can't figure out how to get help from anyone.
I also cannot disconnect my iPod now because it says it contains files that are being used by another application, but it's not!
So now I can't get what I purchased onto my iPod, and I can't disconnect it from my computer. Please help? Thank you!

Check the fair play version of the songs that won't play. I am having the same issue with songs protected with fair play version 2, since upgrading to Windows 7.
I hope you are not having the same issue though, as there does not seem to be a solution. I was working with Apple Customer Support on this issue but they have not answered my emails for 5 days now. I think they are stuck.
Meanwhile, I'm not purchasing any more songs from iTunes.

Installer says HD isn't HFS, but it is.

After waitng a few minutes for the hard drive volume to show up in the destination window, it shows a yellow flag on the drive. When I click "options" my only option is to erase. Why? The drive I am trying to install to is HFS (journaled).
Any ideas?

2 further questions:
1) I found this utility http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/volumeworks.html.
Does anyone have experience with this software? Could it solve our problem? i.e. repartition to GUID format without wiping the disk?
2) If above doesn't work and I have to copy everything to an external drive, then repartition and wipe the disk, how can I get my applications easily installed. I don't have all the original DVD's and software like Aperture etc. has had many updates since my original DVD.
Thanks.

App Store says Xcode isn't installed, but it's on my computer.

I installed Xcode on the 6th of August, but now - 23rd of August - in the App Store > Purchased Xcode's button "install" is blue, and install when clicked.
What's wrong?

Xcode 4.1 was released two days before the 6th of August, and it is the one I installed. Yesterday the App Store said that all my apps had been installed, which they had.
It must therefore be a glich. The problem is that I asked it to download, and it's taking an extremely long time, ranging between 1h 50mins to 1day 20h, so I can't launch it from the LaunchPad.

FILE SYSTEM ERROR on my zen nano p

<font face="Comic Sans MS" size="4" color="#6633ff">my zen nano plus says File system error everytime i turn it on then it automatically turns off. what could i do to fix it's?

Welcome to the world of processor-controlled gadgets. To get the best out of your product you are going to need to learn about things such as firmware - try Wikipedia for a description. Anyway, go to Support->Downloads and choose the Nano Plus from the lists. On the next page is a section for firmware - download the firmware file to your PC then connect your player and run the firmware file. During the process you will see a Format Data Area check box - you need to tick this box and continue. PB

"Zen Nano" and "Zen Nano Plu

I just bought a Creative Zen Nano 52Mb MP3 player at BestBuy.
But everywhere I read, I see "Creative Zen Nano Plus".
What is the difference beetween Nano and Nano PLUS?

I have had my ZEN NANO for year. Then I start getting the flaky power shutdowns. so I start surfing lookin for an answer. One common answer I got was "upgrade the firmware." Well I thought "why would it go now.. I've never done anything out of the ordinary" Anyway long story short DON'T I repeat DON'T update the FIRMWARE until you check one vital thing. Connect your NANO if it shows up in Windows- so far so good- open the the dri've whether it is d: or e: whatever. Then right click on the NANO dri've and go to properties you should get a screen that says "Removable Disk X: Properties" FILE SYSTEM SHOULD BE FAT if it is FAT32 you may get more space but you also set yourself up for all sorts of weird issues. I backed up my mp3's formatted my NANO to FAT and reloaded it, found I didn't have enuff room for song, but I haven't had a random shutdown since i reformatted.....

Zen Nano Plus - Used Battery vs. New Battery Prob

I downloaded some WMA files from Walmart.com and successfully transferred them to my Zen Nano Plus. They played fine. But the battery, which was already low on power, died. I switched in a new battery and tried playing WMA files, but they would only play for about three seconds before the mp3 player shut off.
I switched back in the old battery and the WMA files played just fine.
Both the old and new battery play the MP3 files, so there's no problem there.
Is the problem related to voltage or something? Please help.

Known issue, check [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=40235&view=by_date _ascending&page=">this thread[/url].
No solution yet, I'm afraid.

ZEN NANO PLUS PLAYING QUEST

I just bought the GB Zen Nano Plus and I love it. But today something weird happened, it was playing through my songs as normal the at the end of a certain song when it went to the next track, this next track did not automatically start playing as it should, i saw the solid square icon meaning stop on the player, and to play the track i had to repress the play button then it played through fine, so i erased the track before the track that would not play thinking i would just reload it when i got home, but that didn't fix the problem so i also erased the actual track that would not play until i repressed the play button, finally after erasing a few more tracks in the sequence, it stopped happening, it was weird because everyother track just plays through one after another like it should, my play mode is on normal, each album that i have tracks from on my player is in a separate folder. i am going to reload the problem songs and see what happens, just thought it was weird
any thoughts?
thank you

My N200 plays all the way through until the end of the last folder. You must have a different Play Mode set.

Yes, that is correct, you can't, at least not without backing it up first. You will find some useful information here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/syncing/

Zen Nano Plus connection problems - SOLVED (1/2/06)

I recently bought the Nano Plus. On first installation everything worked fine. I decided to upgrade to the latest drivers and firmware via downloads from the Creative site. At some point during the firmware upgrade, everything seemed to hang. Eventually I had to halt the process, disconnect the player and reboot.
When I plugged the player back in, it is detected as a USB Mass Storage Device, but Windows Explorer and the Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer both claim that the device is not connected.
Here's what I have done so far:
)Uninstalled all drivers and Creative software, rebooted, reinstalled drivers/software, rebooted. When plugging the player in, a brief window pops up saying Zen Nano Plus has been detected. This is followed by USB Mass Storage Device being detected (this window stays up a lot longer, sometimes more than 5-0 minutes before disappearing).
2)Another uninstall/reinstall, but this time with a registry cleanup in between. Same result.
3)Tried installing installation cd on partner's laptop and plugging in the player. Absolutely everything works fine. So it's not my player. There must be something I still need to do on my desktop to get everything to work again.
4)Have also tried plugging into every USB outlet on the desktop. No change.
My system:
Windows XP (sp 2)
3.2 GHz
Intel 865 chipset
2 GB RAM
My Zen Nano Plus is currently running .0.03 firmware (latest).
On this desktop I am running the latest drivers (Creative Mass Storage Drivers .07.00.250)
When the player is plugged in, device manager shows no problems. Under Disk Dri'ves, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2535.0). Under USB, USB Mass Storage Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2600.0).
I have tried manually updating these drivers to anything listed in the Creative folders upon installation, but it does not detect anything. When I check the drivers listed on the laptop that works with the player, these same driver details show up.
Any advice would be appreciated. I certainly would hate to only use my partner's laptop every time I want to update my music. I am also frustrated and puzzled as to why my player first worked on my desktop and now doesn't.Message Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2: AMMessage Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2:2 AM

With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
-->PCI Bus
You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.

Zen Nano Plus - Connection Problems and Firmware Upgrade probl

Like many others posting on this forum, for a while I had problems trying to get my GB Zen Nano Plus to be recognized by the .0.03 Firmware Update software.
I eventually got it by doing this:
While the Firmware Update software was "Searching" for a device, I kept on unplugging and plugging in the Zen Nano Plus from the USB cable while holding down the Play button, unti it "caught". I tried this since I noticed it would initially see the unit saying "A device has been detected in recovery mode...", but then throw the unit into "non-recovery" mode and hence force the Firmware Update software to keep on searching.
Anyhoo, after it did finally "catch" it (after about 0 times unplugging/plugging while holding the Play button down), it showed my firmware as .03.02, and so I did the upgrade to .0.03. The upgrade said "Complete". I then take the unit off of USB, and put my battery back in. and. uhm. well. Now it won't turn on at all. *sigh*
So there I go again in the "unplug-plug" loop on trying to get the older .03.02. Finally caught after about 30 times (yes my hands are tired). And after downgrading to .03.02, putting the battery back in, the unit turns on fine.. WHEW.
So, beware to everyone. Not sure if I'd trust the .0.03 Firmware. Doesnt seem to work on my Zen Nano Plus, and I JUST bought the thing from Circuit City about a week ago.
And for those of you having problems getting the Firmware Upgrade to work.. try my (tiring) method.
I tried this on my Dell D600 laptop (actually used the USB ports on the docking station).

Zen Nano Plus Connection Probl

(2)Zen Nano Pluses. Both using firmware .0.03. One Red, one Black (Click and Clack always want to know what color car they are diagnosing...)
(2) Computers, both XP SP2 with all updates; one called Dad's, one called W's.
One Zen (for ID, the red one) has been used on Dad's computer without issues for about 3 weeks.
One Zen, new and color Black, works on Dad's computer, but not on W's computer. W's computer will not properly recognize either the new Nano (the black one) or mine (the Red one), in either Creative MEdia SOurce, or Zen Explorer, or Windows explorer.
First, I have read the FAQ's. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nano software. When I use PB's check odd things appear:
PB's check:
With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
-->PCI Bus

What appears on Dad's computer, with either Nano, is USB Enhanced Host Controler, USB Root Hub, Generic USB Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device, Generic Volume. Again, either Nano works on Dad's computer.
On W's computer, after just having reinstalled the new mass driver, it is USB2 Enhanced Host Controller, USB Root Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Disk Dri've. On restart from that, it reads Creative Nano Plus USB Device, with no "volume" underneath it, and the oddball icon is not there. I think the oddball icon is associated with the "Disk Dri've". Once it read under Creative ZEn Nano Plus, "Unknown Device". Also, when I attach a Nano to W's computer, it first seems to see the Nano in the New Device Found message, THEN while it is still attached, it says in another New DEvice Found mesage that it has found a Disk Dri've. It also shows some oddball icon I can't decipher, right next to the "safely remove Hardware" icon. The oddball icon does not appear on Dad's computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.Message Edited by Bennyd on 0-0-2006 06:6 AM

NEWS!!!
Actually, we have 3 Zen Nano Pluses. Two (the black and the red) have .0.03 firmware. I have never connected the black or the red to W's computer and have it connect properly. In fact, I had just tried (again) to connect the black, it failed, I re-booted. Then, I connected the blue, with the old firmware, and it CONNECTED. I could see it in WIndows explorer as dri've F:, which never happened with either the red or the black with .0.03 firmware.
So, now what?
