Creative Mediasource not detecting

Downloaded Mediasource 5. Not detecting new Zen 32 GB.

I realize there's probably a specific plugin or driver that I need, but I can't seem to find a working link on the Creative site. Can anyone provide me with a direct link?
Also, I have a Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra from back in the day - with the old Mediasource software. Is there a way to get both Zens to work with one Mediasource so that I only have to keep one version on my PC. Thanks?
Also, anyone have any thoughts on how they like working the Zen with Windows Media Player. Would you recommend switching to that instead of Mediasource? I've been pretty happy with Mediasource (except for the fact that it doesn't recognize "The" the way itunes does).

Creative MediaSource not detecting my creative zen to

I'm having trouble with my Creative Zen Touch. In Creative MediaSource, in the sources part on the left hand side, it does not detect my Creative Zen Touch and therefore i cannot transfer music. Any help would be much appreciated. PS when i plug my Creative Zen Touch into the computer using the usb port, the computer detects the device and i have an option to "take no action" or "Transfer files using Windows Media Player".

I am also having this problem, but in order to download from the zen to the pc, I will have to have everything erased off the Zen, and there is an important recording I want to load to my PC first. There is no where in my creative media source since I updated my firmware to load from Zen to PC like there used to be. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Nomad explorer and creative mediasource not detecting zen touch player. PLEASE HE

Hi, I got a new pc and I was going to install my Zen Touch mp3 player on my new pc but I could'nt find the installation cd so I followed the instructions on here and downloaded all the necessary? software, drivers, plug ins, and followed all the instructions. Once everything was downloaded and installed I plugged my mp3 player into my pc and the noise it makes came up and mtp media player pop up appeared. Windows media player accepts that my zen touch is plugged in but creative media source and nomad explorer is not detecting it's?My os is windows xp, I am using windows media player 9 as I was having trouble with windows media player . Could someone please help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you've just upgraded to XP, you now have to upgrade your Zen as well as your Mediasource. First you've got to upgrade your Zen Touch firmware to version 2.0.05 or above. Look around on the Creative Support site and you'll find the download without too much trouble. Be warned that the firmware upgrade is permanent, and it will wipe out your Zen hard dri've contents, so say goodbye to all your music unless you want to back it all up to your PC first.
Then you've got to upgrade your Mediasource to v 3.30.2 or higher. Again, you can find the upgrade download on the Creative site. Then you've got to install Zen Touch Media Explorer v .30.04 or higher. Same thing -- easy to locate on the Creative site. Then you should be good to go!?Best,?John

Creative Mediasource not detecting Zen To

Hi
Just reinstalled windows'but can't find my Zen Touch CD anywhere. The only software i ever use is the Creative Mediasource to transfer my MP3's onto the Player.
I went to Creatives Website and downloaded the Mediasource which is there V3.30.2. It looks slightly never than my old version. I also installed the Driver that was on the creative site and that seemed to install ok.However when i plug in my Zen after i start up the Mediasource it does'nt seem to detect the Zen and i can nothing with it. The Zen's definately connected and working ok because when i go into MY COMPUTER it is showing and i can browse the files.
Any idea?
Thanx

Try this, it was in the knowledgebase. I actually had the same problem and this fixed it.

Creative camera not detected error...

Ok, I have a creative webcam pro. Not ex, just the Pro.
I got it like last year and it was working fine. But up until two months ago my computer crashed and I had to reformat and all that good stuff...
Now I put in the cd and install it. I plug in the camera and it says creative camera not detected. For some reason my computer installed the cam as "Dual mode usb camera plus"
So after that I uninstalled everything and this time it installed the camera correctly. But I still get the error. So I uninstalled, yadda yadda. I can't get this thing to work! It worked before my computer crashed, so I dont see why it doesnt work now?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem - exactly as you state!
The only this I noticed was that when I tried to install updates from the Creative support pages was that a message came up saying that couldn't uninstall older version and asked if I wanted to continue anyway. This is driving me insane too!
Can anyone help out here - I am running Windows XP Home Media Center (which is a pile of pants too!)

Creative Mediasource Not Work

I have Creative Mediasource 2.x which came with my Soundblaster audio card. It was working fine until I tried to update it over Creatives automatic update. While?it still plays music, it has lost access to all of it's add ons:? graphic equalizer, EAX, surround sound, THX, etc. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and the same problems exist. I get the error message:? "the audio device supported by this application is not detected". I just want my old capabilities back. Thanks.

It sounds like you are trying to install firmware and not Media Source. You might wan to make sure you downloaded the right thing.Message Edited by FuturePilot on 0-2-2006 09:08 PM

Zen Micro is NOT detected by Creative MediaSource Organizer or Windows Media Pla

Well, I have read through a good part of the message forum and have found nothing to help my case and I believe, truly believe that I have tried everything!

My Zen Micro is detected by my computer and when plugged in I am prompted by MTP Media Player to
Launch Windows Media Player and synchronize files </LI>
Take no action</LI>

If choose to launch Windows Media Player it does not detect the portable device
If I choose to take no action and launch Creative MediaSource Organizer instead, the device is still not detected.

I have checked my Device Manager and it says that the device is working properly, drivers are installed (this is the most common problem ? but for me this is the part that is working correctly).

When I open the Zen Micro Media Explorer it tells me that the device is not connected. I cannot transfer music files with Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource because both programs do not detect the Zen Micro.

I should note that the Zen Micro does work properly on another computer in my household.

Can someone please offer suggestions?
Thanks

Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
I got it working now!
I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

Creative MediaSource will not recognize Nomad Zen Xtra 30BG

Creative MediaSource will not recognize Nomad Zen Xtra 30BG? Hello, I am new to this forum and very frustrated, I own?a 30Bg Zen Xtra and all of a sudden MediaSource will not allow the transfer of files. Here are my specs and things I've tried to no avail:
Firmware: .20.08 (is this the latest upgrade?)
Software: 2.02.06
O/S: Win XP, SP2
Windows Media Player
Checking device manage it is recognized as a portable device, however it is not detected in WMP . Changed my USB permissions in the registry, downgraded WMP to version 0 (rebooted when prompted), upgraded the application software (uninstalled version 2.02.06?and rebooted?) upgraded?to version 5.20.23 as well installed the plug in, version 5.0.38, which now gives me and error while installing " setup is unable to detect?a supported product on your system, click retry....." tried the different USB ports on the pc as well as changing the cables. I do not know what else to do...any assistance will be greatly appreciated..thanks in advance.

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.

Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

Zen Micro Photo Recognized in Vista but Not Detected in Creative Softw

How do i fix this problem? My Micro Photo is recognized in Vista. It shows up a portable device when i click "computer"? I can see all the songs on my mp3 player. The problem is the the Creative Mediasource 5. and Zencast organizer says it is not detected. These are the new versions for windows vista. Just downloaded them from the creative website.
Can i just copy and paste songs on the mp3 player from within "Computer" since it is recognized as a portable device? Which software is supposed to be the one I use for organizing music..Mediasource or Zencast??

Great Call on installing the playsforsure update. I had the exact same issue... Zen V Plus recognized by Vista, but not by Mediasource 5 organizer. I had already installed the "CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36" update from Creative's support site, which supposedly included the Playsforsure plug-in. However, when I went to Mediasource 5 help, software updates menu item... the plugin was listed as neeing to be downloaded and installed. My Zen V Plus was recognized after the reboot!!

Adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

i connected with the adobe people through 'contact an agent'.
very helpful, they remote managed my desktop to fix the issue.
apparently something to do with permissions not activated for adobe, not sure how and why this happens though, or why it was fine earlier and suddenly stoppped.
they insisted it was to do with being on a wifi connection but that's not possible because i have my laptop right next to my desktop and that was working fine.
it took about four hours to fix though, so be patient!
