Creative vision M 30GB - Rebuilding get st

I configured the video size?of my zen while I was watching somthing and the?zen?got stucked. so I press the reset safety button like?I used to did?several times before to fix it. Only this time I get the rebuilding message and the green bar goes up untill the end and it stucked there with full green bar and "Rebuilding..." massage for hours instead of return to the main menu like it used to do.
I tried to re-reset it a few times already and I got the same problem.
I tried the "MP3 Player Recovery Tool" program but it says: "No supported device connected". The computer doesnt recognize that I connect the player to the computer (I tried it with other computers as well).
Does anyone know what to do and how? Its really important. :/

I guess there is some problem with WMP on my own computer because I can't see WMP of any kind at the add/remove program even WITH the show all updates checked on.
So I tried to reinstall WMP in order to have the option to delete it and now I can see it finally at the add/remove program. The problem is that even when I do remove it, it says: "Windows Media Player rollback is complete." But I can still see it at the add/remove program even after restart. Because of that, I can't delete?"Windows Media Format runtime."
Never the less, as I said before - I already tried that at a few other computers which I DID uninstall wmp completely and still got the same problem: "Your player is not connected."
I bought this device at diffrent country more than 2 years ago. I don't think I still got any warranty, right? :/
Even if I did open the creative zen, how this would help to my problem of setting the frimware? I mean, I can't install the frimware by opening the zen, right?
Is it really necessary to send it to fix just because I can't make the computer to recognize it's
Oh and one more thing - when I'm connecting the zen and try to locate it through my computer, it says that this device have 50GB! When I'm clicking it I see an empty driver and no file can be copy into there.
Why is it says 50 GB instead of my 30 GB and where is all of the files I had there? Maybe that's why I can't install the frimware?

CREATIVE VISION: M 30GB (NO SOFTWARE)

My friend gave me a 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M & lost the software. It had been opened once. Can I somehow download the software (Installation CD)

)Re: CREATIVE VISION: M 30GB (NO SOFTWARE)2 Ok What Version of Windows Media Player is on the computer? To find out open it.(if it asks to update it Don't) If it looks like this one http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx it's WMP0? If it looks like this? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx? it's WMP. To find out what Service Pack of Xp you have go to Start>Control Panel>System There it will tell you what Os/Service Pack is installed. You may not need the install disc depending on the info you provide. The download file is quite large so it may take a while to download depending on your internet connection speed. but you can find it here. http://files.filefront.com/Creative+.../fileinfo.html

Creative vision m 30GB resets constantly

Hello. I have creative vision M which resets few times a day. I tryed to update newest firmware or even installed old one.No changes,still resets.
Is the problem with data and i must remove everything form player?Do i have to format and place everything back?

When you format the player & re-add the files it will rebuild the database which sets the settings to default. It is supposed to do that.

Creative vision m 30gb - out of stock everywhere, is it being phased o

I was planning on using my circuit city giftcard to soon buy a creative vision m, but I noticed that most of the stores in my state say it's out of stock and the product wasn't available for shipping. Also, if you check newegg.com, the creative vision m use to be listed on there, but it's completely disappeared which is annoying me to me. My guess is that these stores are selling off their remaining stock. I just want to know if creative has discontinued this product because I don't want this video ipod. It's a possibility that their about to introduce a new hard dri've mp3 player, but I'm not sure.

Man I don't know why everyone is saying these are out of stock I see them everywhere. My local walmart has about 5 in the counter last time I was there. I also see then at best buy and circuit city. They might be a little harder to find then the ipod but they are out there. Maybe demand is up and they are just selling fast. If people where smart they would buy the VM over the ipod any day. There is no way the ipod is better then the VM but try to tell people that.

Zen Vision M: 30GB//Player gets stuck @ "ZEN vision M" lo

Alright, this player loads, but it freezes at the "ZEN Vision M" logo (as I said in the subject). I tried formatting it, and all those other options on the boot menu, except for updating the firmware (I can't, since I do not own Windows Media Center anymore). The warranty is past it's date, and I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions, because I do not feel like going out and buying a new one. I'd like to send it somewhere to get it fixed but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to do that.

branbran,
Based on your description, it would be advisable to get in touch with support. Check the "Support" folder on your installation CD for Customer Support contact details.

Creative Vision M 30gb has d

My Vision M stopped charging a while ago, thought it was a faulty charger as the light on the charger plug stopped appearing. Then found that it won't charge via the USB lead. Now when I connect it to the PC all I get is a flashing blue light behind the power switch but no on screen charging symbol, even when left conected for hours. Tried using the Recovery Tool but it says it cannot detect any device. Very frustrating having downloaded 2000+ songs and videos onto it. Any ideas?

Hi Jamm35,
How long did you have the player connected to the computer for charging? It may take quite some time to charge up the battery and for the charging symbol to appear. Make sure your player battery is at least 50% charged before you try the Recovery Tool.
If you continue to experience difficulty charging the player, it would be advisable to contact support.

Creative Zen Vision M 30gb and Vista.

Is there a way to get a Creative Zen Vision M 30gb to work on a Vista computer? It will save me buying my son a new MP3 player. Thanks.

I've been in touch with Creative support for over a week now but so far without success. Every time I download links they suggest I still can't access Creative Media Explorer, I just keep getting this error message:-
"The Creative Media Explorer that is compatible with this device is not installed. Please reinstall the application and try again"
This has included deleting all previously installed Crteati've files as well as downloading in a 'Clean Boot'. I've also rebooted my Zen Vision M.
At this rate I'll have to bin the Zen and look at an ipod:manmad:

The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts?

Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) - Is it the end?

Hi all,
I've read a lot of posts and think the only way to find a possible solution to my problem is to just post it....
I've had my Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) for about?2.5 years, apart from crashing a few times, I've always loved it and would never go near Ipod!
Lately however it's done something, that it has done before which is to suddenly 'remove' about 2000 tracks, it would go funny, crash and reset a few times, recharge with the plug and it was fine again, the tracks 'reappeared'.
Now it seems when it happened this recent time, 3000 tracks went and I was left with about 000. So i tried formatting everything cause it just wouldn't rectify itself, then I chose to reload the firmware but everytime I tried to connect it to my laptop it would say my player wasn't connected.
I have recently baught a new laptop with Windows 7 and even without the software it detects it fine and I think I could just drag music over to it now. BUT - It only has 50mb of memory! Plsu MP3 Recovery Tool and online detection firmware thingy justy doesn't think my player is connected or says cannot update firmware on windows 7?
So my questions?are - how do i fix it's Is my memory fried, would it be worth getting out the old laptop? Where do i go if i want to repair it's Even if it detects it in XP, the software doesn't detect the player.
Can anyone shine any light here? Am I forced to buy another Creative product or do I jump ship?

If the XP computer has WMP installed it may not detect the player (the firmware file) It works best on XP /SP2 WMP0 installed. The issue with WMP is a sticky in the MP3 players forum.

Creative Zen Vision M:30Gb freeze problem skipping between tracks

Hi guys,
I bought my Zen Vision M:30GB 2 years ago. It was a regenerated model by Creative.
I'm fully satisfied of this product, i think the best of his category, but It has this problem since two years...Sometimes when i skip between mp3s (especially in random mode) it freezes and remains on the screen of current mp3, blocked...even I try to touch all buttons it doesn't unblock and i have to reset with a clip in the reset hole.
I've noticed that this problem comes especially when i use random mode of entire library (about 4000 songs) or however with a long playlist...it doesn't happen when i listen a single album (about 20 mp3s in playlist)
Sincerely i'm a little bored ...
I tried to do some clean and format up by the system menu, but the problem persists...
I've also thinked the problem could be because there are in library mp3 with variant bitrate...or a physical problem (I hope not)
What do you think of?
Thanks for help!

Creative ZEN Vision:M 30gb, Can't dock it....tried everything....Help

Hello , Is there someone out there who knows alot about docking this Zen Vision:M 30GB. I have tried everything by Creative support. I've been working on it for over a month now. The player works fine but when I plug it in to my PC. Nothing happens. I have all updates and I have Windows XP pro. It seems like a driver issue. My Little Zen V has no problem docking, It docks fast , 2seconds everthing opens up nicely. ??????thanks for taking the time to read and write....Message Edited by Wasssupdutch on 03-26-200702:53 PM

Have you solved the problem? If so how? My VM has docked perfectly until I upgraded from USB to USB2. Every other USB device works fine but PC no longer sees the VM. The new hardware wizard pops up and demands a driver and isn't satified by the installation CD. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success. Anybody any clues?Thanks.

Zen Vision M 30GB Problems

Zen Vision M 30GB Problems? I have a used Zen Vision M 30 GB. I have?a few questions, along with some problems.
My player has to "rebuild" at least twice a day, is that normal?
When a song is playing, is the song name, length of song, etc supposed to be displayed?
Now the major problem:
I can not get either my laptop or desktop to recognize my player.
On the desktop (Windows XP?SP3)?it seems to constantly refresh the Device Manager as an MTP device. while it continues to do this I can see the device is giving me a Code 0.
On the laptop (Windows Vista) it searches for a driver, but the search fails. It does not continuously refresh, but still gives me the same "Code 0 This device can not start" message.
On both computers it says "Docked" on the player when plugged in and also charges.
The player plays well once it makes it through the "Rebuilding" stage.
I thought about formatting it, but?I was not sure that would do any good with this problem. Plus there was a lot of music left on the player from the previous owner that I rather like.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,? Thanks

No rebuilding that often if not normal. You seem to be having symptoms of hardri've issues. Now have you done a cleanup>reboot on the player?CHARGE PLAYER BEFORE DOING THIS? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3? That may help with the constant need to rebuild(kinda like defragging the dri've) Use a REAR usb port when connecting to the computer & try using a different usb cable. DO NOT CHOOSE RELOAD FIRMWARE ON THE RECOVERY MENU

Vision:M 30gb Freez

Ive only had my Vision:M 30gb for roughly 6/7months and up until the last couple of weeks its been fab, no crashes or freezing or anything. But since the beginning of the month my player is repeatedly freezing.
It mainly freezes on start up ill end up with a lit black background with the blue light on top signaling on. But thats it, i cant even switch it off. I have to reset it get it off and then everything is fine.
When i reset the player sometimes it rebuilds the library, sometimes not? (Dont know how sugnificant that is.)
It appears that the freeze only happens after a lengthy spell switched off. Though last night i had my first freeze while music was being played, (It just froze) Again i couldnt switch it off it had to be reset. this time deciding that it needed to rebuild the library.
It was running version .40.0e (or something to that effect) i recently upgraded the firmware to .60.0e but this didnt seem to fix it.
Its well looked after and used only on the way to and from work (half hour each way).
Theres .5gb space left.
Does any one have any idea what is going on or having similar problems?

Put the player in recovery mode & do a Cleanup>Reboot ONLY no reload firmware or formatting.http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

Zen Vision:M 30GB won't power down; any ide

I've had a 30GB Zen Vision M for a couple of months now! Awesome player, went through the usual round of recognition problems, but it's been working fine of late. My problem is, it won't power down now. When I try to power down, the unit says it's powering down, the dispaly goes black except for the battery icon. And it stops there. The blue backlight on the menu buttons stays on, the battery icon stays on, and eventually it turns off after 5 minutes because of being idle. Not a terrible problem I know, but a real niusance. I am running the most current firmware (have been for a while). I've tried resetting and clean-up. No change. I'm afraid of trying to reinstall the firmware, in case I have the same problem that many others are having, and go from a good player with a power issue, to a player that does nothing. I can't see it being the power switch itself, since it powers up fine, and tries to power down. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. birder
