Creative MediaSource 5 Player does not recognize my Zen

Hello,
I have the Creative MediaSource 5 player and never had this problem before, but now it does not recognize or connect with my Zen V player. I do not know what is going on. Everytime I connect my Zen now I get a window giving me choices of players to use with my Zen and the Creative player is not longer in this list... I have not made any changes.
Help.... Anyone :robotsad:
Thanks,
kanela.

Jezuz,
If you have update the player firmware to the PlayForSure firmware version, you will need to also update your copy of the Media Explorer to the version that can support it. Go back to the download page where you download the firmware and look for "Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update" and "Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)".

  • Upgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!?

    JUpgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!
    st off, I was having issues with mp3's transferring to my zen touch, it would say file cannot transfer, invalid format or something of the like.. The creative audio converter would not allow the file to be converted as it said the source was not availble, all odd as the files worked fine on my computer and were mp3 format. I did get them to transfer after downloading another 3rd party converter, I wanted to get past using another program though so I updated to media source 5, along with firmware updates to most recent for the zen touch.
    Once I had updated it would not recognize my player, I opened version 3.xxx whatever and it did recognize. Thinking maybe it has an issue with both being installed I unistalled the old version. Same problem, still does not see my player. I upated the driver for the player as well, and my computer now could see the zen touch instead of unknown usb device, media source 5 no go still at this point. I opened windows media 0 and it saw the player and I could transfer files, but the lay out and editing cababilities are limited.
    Basically I want to know what to do get this thing detected so I can use media source 5 to organize my files. Someone please help me.

    N Oh how I love the beauty of forums! Fantastic. So you know the fix went for my issue here, I had already upgraded the zen/jukebox driver to version 2.0 to no avail, and did not get the play for sure firmware as it says all data will be lost, but I did upgrade with the other option on the support downloads section before as well to no avail. Thanks to?GuyGraham, after I installed the app update for Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer it works once again!! I just do not see how this file isn't included with the media source 5 application in the first place. Either or thanks a lot you guys, problem sovled!

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr:  AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site.  The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked.  The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This question was solved.

    You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
    Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

  • Macintosh: Flash Player does not recognize external webcam

    Hi,
    the Adobe Flashplayer does not recognize an external webcam on my iMac. When I open Settings and try to choose a camera, it offers:
    DV Video
    IIDC FirWire Video
    USB Video Class Video
    The last entry activates the built-in iSight camera, but not the Logitech Camera which is connected via USB. If I choose one of the other options, the picture freezes, but it does not activate the external Logitech cam.
    The Computer recognizes the Logitech Cam alright, it works fine with other apps (Skype, iChat). Does anyone have an idea what can be the problem?
    Webcam: Logitech Vision Pro USB für Mac, nagelneu
    Computer: Intel Mac, OSX Tiger 10.4.?
    Browser: Mozilla Firefox
    Thanks for any help!

    I've been trying to work through similar problems, as have many other Mac users from what it looks like.  Here's a quote from a post I found in Apple's forum:
    My Logictech 9000 doesn't show up in the Flash video source dropdown for me either. Selecting USB camera just selects the iSight.
    However, I did find a workaround: it seems to choose the first available usb webcam, which is typically the built-in iSight. If you have a mac mini with no built-in iSight, it uses the external camera by default. For my MacBook, I found the trick was to make the iSight busy by opening Photo Booth first, then opening the flash chat page.  That causes the flash player to find and use the external USB webcam. 
    Note: your webcam probably has to support the new standard USB Video plug-and-play protocol for this to work, and perhaps only on Leopard.
    Here's the link to the page where I found this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1374761
    Hopefully this works for you if you haven't already found a solution - I see you posted back in April!  I'm sorry that no one attempted to answer your question before now, including the Adobe people who staff these forums!

  • Creative MediaSource player does not recognize cd bur

    Platform is a DELL XPS with XP Pro SP 2. The system came with the Audigy 2ZS installed along with a Phillips DVD+-RW DVD863 installed. MediaSource Player only recognizes a SONY DVD writer that is connected via Fire Wire.
    All other applications recognize both writers
    OS Name Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionalVersion 5..2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600OS Manufacturer Microsoft CorporationSystem Manufacturer Dell Inc.System Model Dimension XPS

    I had this problem with a USB dri've. Go to My Computer, rightclick on the dri've, select properties. Click on the Recording Tab. Make sure the "Enable CD Recording on this dri've" box is checked.
    Apparently, a lot of software just doesn't look at the setting.
    Hope that helps!

  • Windows media player does not recognize new CD when changing CDs in drive

    I have a ThinkPad R61i that was purchased with a preinstalled downgrade from Vista to XP professional.  Whenever I rip CDs using the built in DVD/CD player/burner, WMP doesn't recognize a new cd when I put one in.  I am running WMP 11 for XP.  The first CD is recognized after some switching around between tabs and, after it finishes burning it ejects the CD but when I put a different cd in, WMP acts like it still has the original CD.  It will play the new CD and rip it but it rips over the original CD's file with the original CD's track listings.  Anyone have this experience?

    hi,
         I have come accross this like and it worked for me. you can give a try on the same. Also they have option of leaving your problem and they get back to you on your email

    Do you have the driver installed for the device?You can find that here.http://support.creative.com/download...ale=033&nPage= WMP is for MTP devices which the Xtra is not, There is a firmware update for the device HOWEVER updating to that firmware may just kill the player so I would not advise doing it since you have XP & you will be able to sync using MediaSource. Did you install the Creative Zen & Nomad Jukebox plug-in 5.00.22? Click on Show Details & read them before installing anything.

  • Flash Player Does Not Work with IE8 and Windows XP

    I am using Windows XP VR 5.1 with SP3. Flash Player does not function? So videos will not play that use Flash Player. The Adobe Support Site has been 000 Help because it is a free product. Microsoft says it is an Adobe problem. Finger pointing to the nth degree. I have loaded the latest version of Javascript and Flash Palyer.. Any ideas?

    Resetting IE is a shotgun approach, but may be much easier (and faster) for a user than trying to troubleshoot and find exactly which add-on, control, setting is causing issues. For a fast approach, you can reset IE, then start re-installing the add-ons you wish to use. Here is a kb that describes the process and even provides a Fix it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
    If you’d like to troubleshoot, here are some steps that will fix most issues with Internet Explorer and Add-ons. This can be more of a scalpel approach, and could help you save your cookies, stored passwords, etc.
    1)      Update your Windows software
    a.       Follow the steps below to view updates that are available for your computer.
                                                       i.      Click to go online to the Windows Update website
    1.       Note: If Microsoft Update is not installed, you will be taken to the Windows Update website. See the note below if Microsoft Update is not installed.
                                                     ii.      Click Custom to check for available updates. In the left pane, under Select by Type, click each of the following links to view all available updates:
    1.       High Priority
    2.       Software, Optional
    3.       Hardware, Optional
                                                    iii.      Select the updates you want, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Updates.
    b.      What do I do if Microsoft Update is not installed?
                                                       i.      Follow the steps below to install Microsoft Update and check for updates.
    1.       Click to go online to the Windows Update website
    2.       Click the Go button next to the Get Microsoft Update Today and then click Start Now.
    3.       Review the license agreement, and then click Continue.
    4.       After setup is complete, click Check for Updates.
    5.       Click Custom to check for available updates. In the left pane, under Select by Type, click each of the following links to view all available updates:
    a.       High Priority
    b.      Software, Optional
    c.       Hardware, Optional
    6.       Select the updates you want, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Updates.
    2)      Turn off Internet Explorer add-ons you don't recognize
    a.       When you visit a website, an add-on might be downloaded without your knowledge, or you might be prompted to download an add-on. These add-ons might cause Internet Explorer to run slowly or become unresponsive. You should remove all Internet Explorer add-ons you don't recognize or trust.
    b.      How do I spot malicious add-ons?
                                                       i.      You can usually spot malicious add-ons under the Name column in the Manage Add-ons dialog box. Malicious add-ons might have:
    1.       Blank names.
    2.       Names that include random characters or have a sequence of numbers and letters (for example, fhriduvh.dll or f6rid8vh.exeas as opposed to Windows Messenger).
    3.       A publisher name you might not recognize.
    c.       How do I disable an add-on?
                                                       i.      Open Internet Explorer.
                                                     ii.      Depending on your version of Internet Explorer, do one of the following:
    1.       In Internet Explorer 6, click the Tools menu, and then click Manage Add-ons.
    2.       In Internet Explorer 7, click the Tools menu, point to Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or Disable Add-ons.
    3.       In Internet Explorer 8, click the Tools menu, click Manage Add-ons, and then click Toolbars and Extension (if necessary). Also note the drop down list labeled “Show:” You are interested in Add-ons and Downloaded
    4.       Follow these steps to determine the version of Internet Explorer you're using:
    a.       Open Internet Explorer.
    b.      Press ALT+H, and then click About Internet Explorer.
    c.       How can I find which version of Internet Explorer I'm using if it won't launch?
                                                                                                                                i.      If you're unable to launch Internet Explorer you can use the following steps to determine the version you're using:
    1.       Click Start, click Run, type %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer, and then click OK.
    2.       Right-click iexplore, click Properties, and then click Version.
    3.       Under Item name, click File Version. The version number appears under Value to the right of File Version.
    a.       Note:If the file version number begins with 6, you have Internet Explorer 6. If the file version number begins with 7, you have Internet Explorer 7. If the file version number begins with 8, you have Internet Explorer 8.
    d.      If you aren't using the latest version of Internet Explorer, consider updating.
                                                                                                                                i.      How do I update to the latest version of Internet Explorer?
    1.       Click to download and install the latest version of Internet Explorer        
                                                                                                                              ii.      How can I update Internet Explorer without launching my web browser?
    1.       Click to go online to the Windows Update website.
    2.       Click Custom to check for available updates.
    3.       In the left pane, under Select by Type, click Software, Optional.
    4.       Select the Internet Explorer update, and then click Review and install updates.
                                                    iii.      Click the name of the add-on.
    1.       Click Disable. You might have to restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.
    2.       Why do some add-ons include (Not verified) in the Publisher column?
    a.       If (Not verified) is displayed in the Publisher column in the Manage Add-ons dialog box, the add-on itself is not digitally signed even though the program that installed it might be. A digital signature verifies that a file comes from the person or publisher it claims to be from, and that no one has tampered with it since it was digitally signed.
    3.       How do I disable an add-on if I can't access Internet Explorer?
    a.       Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    b.      Double-click Internet Options.
    c.       Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage Add-ons.
    d.      Click the name of the add-on you want to disable, and then select Disable.
    e.      When the Add-on Status dialog box appears, click OK to close it.
    3)      Perform a free Full Service Scan using Windows Live OneCare safety scanner (not necessary if you don’t suspect viruses and are confident in the protection you have on your machine).
    a.       Go to the following website, and then click Full Service Scan: Windows Live OneCare safety scanner
                                                       i.      http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56726
    If you are still experiencing issues, perform these steps. If the issue subsides, you may discontinue the remainder of the steps
    1)      Disable all add-ons (one at a time) until you can no longer reproduce the problem
    a.       Close all Internet Explorer windows.
    b.      Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    c.       Click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Internet Options.
    d.      Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage Add-ons.
    e.      Click the name of the add-on you want to turn off, and then, under Settings, click Disable.
    f.        Click OK.
    g.       Restart Internet Explorer. Continue using Internet Explorer the same way you did when you received a crash report. If Internet Explorer continues to crash after disabling this add-on, continue with the next step.
    h.      Repeat steps b through g for each add-on listed. When you can no longer reproduce the problem, the most recently disabled add-on is the cause of the problem. Once you discover the add-on that is causing the issues, you can uninstall it (use Manufacturer’s uninstaller if one is provided) then if you wish to continue to use the add-on, install the latest version from the manufacturer’s site.

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.
