Creative zen 20gb firmware frustrat

Good Morning,?I successfully purchased and successfully managed to get the creative zen mp3 player home but that's about where it has ended. Everytime I power up the device the "firmware problem" appears on the screen. I have downloaded the latest firmware from the creative website both on my laptop and on a mates pc. That is do-able but when it asks me to connect my player to the laptop or pc via the usb it does not recognize it whatsoever and just sits there with the window still asking for me to connect the player. It seems like a catch 22 where that the "firmware problem" mesage is stopping me being able to connect ot the laptop/pc but to be able to fix the problem I need to download the latest firmware to the player. I dont have vista or windows media player , as I have read up on that problem that exists. It's been a week now and I am frustrated with it. Can someone point me in the right direction and help turn my paper weight into a music player. Cheers Travman.

EVERYBODY.... IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE BUT DONT TRY WIPING AND REFORMATTING YOUR PLAYERsame thing happening to me my nomad juke zen nx has worked flawlessly for years until a couple of days ago with all kinds of SW issues cropping up when i went to put more music in( not being recognized / connecting and then disappearing / unable to view the players song library when connected / saying its connected one moment and gone the next )...the list goes onwent thru all of their fixs ie player scan disk no problems....rebooted...nuthin.....reformatted and wiped the dri've to start from zero and tried to reload the updated firmware and it will not load...it starts (player HD runs about a minute then stops) and then just hangs up for 5-0 minutes and then a popup says either player is not connected or on restart or connect the playerverified I have all the latest software and drivers so it must be a windows update kill your app fix. I?know the feeling that I now have an expensi've brick sitting on my desk...and im starting to jones @ work due to no tunes....on the other hand I have been looking at upgrading to a higher capacity player Wolverine makes 80 and 00 gig boxs so it might be time to kick creative to the curb!?

HILFE......Creative Zen Xtra Firmware Prob

Hallo, leider kann ich nicht englisch, aber meine Hoffnung ist, dass hier jemand deutsch versteht und ich hier Hilfe bekomme. Ich habe mir einen MP3 Player gekauft. Und zwar einen
Creative Zen Xtra 30 GB.
Da ich dachte, dass der Player mit neuer Firmware noch besser funktionieren w rde, habe ich versucht die Firmware 2.0.3.0 zu installieren.
Aber w hrend dem Installieren gab es einen Stromausfall und jetzt geht gar nichts mehr. Jetzt meldet der Player immer: Firmware Problem.
Wenn ich auf Arbeitsplatz gehe, ist der Player aufgef hrt. Aber wenn ich die neue Firmware laden will, erscheint immer: Player nicht angeschlossen.
Ich habe es mit Media Player 9 und 0 und probiert, mit dem gleichen Resultat.
Auf dem Arbeitsplatz erscheint der Player als Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. Wenn ich ihn dann durch Doppelklick ffne, erscheint Storage Media und darunter steht 20.0 MB frei von 20.0 MB.
Ich bin eine Hausfrau und habe nicht besonders viel Ahnung von all diesen Dingen. Ich m chte nur, dass mein Player wieder funktioniert und ich meine Musik und meine H rb cher wieder h ren kann.
Bitte, bitte, kann mir jemand helfen
F r eure Hilfe jetzt schon ein grosses DANKE.
Gruss Annemarie

Creative Zen Micro Firmware Prob

So I've got a Zen Micro bout a year or two back and it stopped working a whle back.
It turns on fine but used to make a buzzing sound and?freeze. It had a small box with?'Firmware Problem' written on the screen.
Lately, it still makes the?buzzing sound but freezes on the Creative Logo screen.
I've tried to renew the Firmware and I tried the recovery tool thing, but neither worked.
Is there any way to fix it's Or is it totaly gone?
Thanks in advance.

Did the firmware problem happen during a firmware update, or did it just happen all of a sudden, and if so how?
to re-load the firmware, download the latest firmware on a Windows XP machine, go to control panel, tne add/remove programs, look for windows media player and if its there click on remove, you should see a window saying something along the lines of windows media player rollback.
Next lok for something called ( or somethg like)windows media player runtime, and remove that ( it may show the roll back screen again, continue, and complete the process)
re-start windows
Plug in your Creative MP3 player via USB connect it to a chharger ( if it uses/can use an external charger) and let it go to 'rescue mode'
Click on the firmware update, and when it asks you what language, highlight re-load OS ( or firmware) in recovery mode on your player.
As soon as the screen on your player prompts you to re-load firmware, click on your language choice on the P.C upgrade window.
If there is no language option, then get ready to select re-load OS on your player when the update starts on your P.C.
This only works with XP
If the above doesnt work:
Did the firmware error occur as a result of an attemtp to upgrade the formware to a plays for sure version?
Is the player regognised by your P.C running windows XP? ( go to control panel then hardware, then device manager?
This is what happened when i tried to upgrade ther firmware on my Zen xtra, what i did to fix it was based on what other people had tried on various other creative playerws such as the touch/micro/vision etc

Creative Zen Touch firmware prob

I know this is an old obsolete player but it has worked fine for me until now. I just got a new computer and to use this with it I needed to update to the plays for sure firmware. Knowing I could not do this on the vista computer I decided to do it on the XP laptop and backed up all of my music before beginning. Well the update hung and left my zen touch in recovery mode. Is there any solution to this or am I stuck having to buy a new mp3 player?
Any help would be appreciated while I wait for a response from Creative Labs.
TIA Claudia

What O.S. is on the other computer? I don't know about the licenses you should be able to back those up thru media player and store it . To rollback media player I first need to know is that computer Xp or Vista ? If it is Vista you can't roll it back . It would have to be an Xp machine for that. ? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...hread.id=66060 ? These are the instructions to rollback media player to wmp0 don't forget to uninstall the wmp runtimeMessage Edited by coachop94 on 08-30-2008 07:25 PM

Creative Zen 20gb and Vi

Hey all,
Im searched all over, and cant seem to find a driver that will make my Creative Zen 20gb install on vista ultimate. Does anyone know? The driver CD that came with it wont even run properly, and Vista wont find the driver on it after a pointed to search.
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Matt

Well, Creative have been less than helpful on this issue.. theyre sure that nati've drivers will support this device, but that simply isnt the case.
Then when I mentioned that, they directed me to a useless website which told me the same thing that theyd said before.. and now theyve given up altogether.
Im incredibly disappointed with Creatives customer service, or lack of it. If theyve just not updated the drivers yet, then just say so.. Im not unreasonable.
Times like this I wish Id bought the Ipod.

Creative Zen 20GB on Windows 7?

Hi
Just got a new PC and the install disk for my Creative Zen 20GB just bombs out. I've tried downloading MediaSource Player/Organiser installs but when i run them just get an error message as the original version isn't on e.g. if i download 5.x complains 5 isn't on.
So question is are the full Player/Organizer's available to download, and if so will they work on Windows 7? any help greatly appreciated, I know the old girl is a bit long in the tooth now but she's served me well and would like to avoid buying something new ;-)

1. I don't have immediate and easy access to an XP machine right now. However, when I do, it will definitely be an XP machine running XP (SP3). I assume that your SP2 requirement meant SP2 and above. Correct?
There were some feedback from other members before (you can use the search function and type in "zen touch vista") that they were having a hard time updating the player on SP3. Check this Kbase article, SP2 is explicitly written on the instructions.
Having said that, If it's possible for you to update it on an SP2 machine, it would be much better so you can stay away with the hassle.
2. I was going to attempt to install the XP drivers in Win XP Compatibility mode. Do you have any experience with this?
3. If #2, didn't work, I was going to install Windows XP Mode on the machine and then try to install the XP drivers and program within the virtual XP machine. Do you have any experience with this?
I haven't experienced this personally but there were other members who tried the same. Check out this post.
Hope this helps.

My Creative Zen 20GB won't turn

Ok, here is the problem. Up until yesterday, my creative zen 20GB (Not Touch, just the normal Creative Zen 20GB) was working fine and i was really happy with it. But then all of a sudden, it wont turn on. The strange thing is, when i plug it into the power adapter, it works, but it won't turn on when i press the power button. Instead, I have to wait for about 4-5 seconds and it turns on by its self, without me pressing anything. And when it does boot up, it acts as if i have just rebooted it, even though I haven't. And if i try to pull out the while it is on, it just shutsdown automatically. The power status icon is that funny little one that means it is fully charged and even if that icon is somehow wrong, and my battery is completely depleted, i had it charging all last night, so it must be at least a bit charged. Another strange thing is that it wont charge or turn on by its self (like it does when i connect it to the mains) when i connect it to the computer.
I have tried re booting and doing a disk cleanup but to no avail. I dont think it could be because i have left it charging because of the sights that i've seen, they all say that lithium ion batterys stop charging when they are fully charged, so i dont think i could have stuffed it by leaving it plugged in.
In summary, I am really stumped, any help would be appreciated but i fear unless it works its self out, i might just have to take it to get repaired.
Thanks
Nik
p.s please be quick in replying as i leave for holidays tomorrow and i wont be able to get to a computer for a while so i would love to have this resolved by tommorow

It would be difficult to determine if it's a confirmed battery problem, sicne the Zen 20GB's battery is built-in. However, from your description, it seems to be a very likely battery problem. Even a possibility of a damaged battery. Hence, I would advise that you call up customer support to determine the true cause of the problem. Oh yes, have you even left your battery fully discharged for say a week or something?

Creative Zen (20GB) - Availabil

Hi,
I li've in the UK, and am currently deciding on an mp3 player to use both at home (to use with some speakers) and to take around with me. After looking at the Creative products I couldn't decide between the Touch (huge memory) and the Micro (great features and looks amazing!).
However, after seeing the Creative Zen (20GB) on http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=24&product=59 this appears to be exactly what I am looking for.
After searching where to buy it, it seems that it is only available to buy from Asia, and after emailing Creative, they said that this player 'won't be available on the European market for a long time' and that 'It may take 6 months or more before it will be released'.
I would preferably like to buy a player in the next few weeks, and was wondering if there was ANY WAY in which I could buy this player from Creative (in Asia?)?
If I was to buy it from Asia, would it work EXACTLY the same as it would when it comes out to buy in Europe (i.e. is it made differently for Asia?)?
I would like to buy a player which will store all my CD collection on so it would be preferable to have at least 20GB.
I would definitely like to buy the Zen (20GB) player at some point because it has both players? features, and so if it was not going to be available to me from anywhere would it be advisable to buy the Micro now and then buy the Zen (20GB) when it comes out, so that I can use them together?
Or would it just be best to get the Touch now (although I have heard some bad things about it, and I am attracted to the Micro apart from its memory!)?
Thanks in advance,
Sam

I've not heard that the sensitivity is worse on the touch than the micro, just that some people find them both a little tricky to get used too. I've also heard that some people find that if the turn the sensitivity to max (rather than the usual advice of turning it down) that strangely this works better.
I've never heard complaints about the screen display being worse
And my impression is that there seem to be more reliability issues with the micro. (headphone jack for starters)
DISCLAIMER: Having said all that, that is not to say that I am right this is just my impression, others may well think differently (and they may well be right as well )
Re: the Zen 20gbs if you really want you can get it now but I wouldn't be wanting to deal with the legalities and expense of shipping it to singapore to get it fixed under warrenty if there is a problem. Here is a linkhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...5775262832&rd=
