Creative zen 4gb acting strange and won't turn on manua

My Creative zen 4gb can only be turned on when I connect it first to the computer, and after that, I can turn it on without the use of a computer. But if I don't use for a few hours, it won't turn on again, and I have to connect it to the computer again ( I can turn it on again, if I had just turned it off though). Even if battery is full, I get the same problem. I've also used the recovery tool to update the firmware, nothing's changed.
I've also done a clean up and reboot of the player. I still have the same problem. I've also noticed now, after doing all these things that when I play music, after a few songs, maybe 30-40 minutes after, it turns off by itself, and if I get to turn it on, it does a rebuilding of the files. Any idea how I can fix this? I've only had this player for a month or two only. I haven't done a format though... Thanks.

Your Zen is probably faulty/defecti've contact Creative.

Creative ZEN 4GB is not connecting with

Hello Everybody!
I've bought CREATIVE ZEN 4GB mp3 player, and after some two months, i can not connect the player with pc. So i reinstalled my windows, because i thought it was some problems with whem. After installation, everything worked twice, and then, is the same problem happened. So i reinstalled windows a second time, but doesn't matter, how many times i reinstall them, it's same problem. After that, i've tried to contact costumer support, but all they tried to help me, was unsuccessful. So few weeks ago, i deleted the MTP Device from "device manager" And now, all the time i have a bubble on the left lower side at the screen, with a note: "Found New Hardware: MTP Device" And i can't turn it of, every time i do that, it shows again. At device manager, on MTP device i have yellow exclamation mark. When i'am trying to update driver, i have this error: There was a problem installing this hardware: MTP Device.
This Device Cannot Start (Code0)
The only thing i can do, charge my mp3 player. And sometimes i using the player on the really old computer, and its works properly, but the worst thing, that the old computer is not mine anymore, so i can't do anything with a mp3 player.
So if someone, has problem like this, and someone, who resolved it, please help me. I like this player very much, and i dont want to change it.
Thank You!

Yes, it is possible. On the right hand side of the player is the slider to turn on the player, push the slider upwards to the lock position and the screen will turn off. That is the Hold mode. At this mode, all the buttons would be inaccessible to prevent accidental pressing of the buttons. This is the mode to use when you are just playing music and do not need the display.
To unhold the player, just push the slider to the middle position and all the way down to turn it off.

hello, sorry, i dont think i made myself clear. I meant by pulling on the on button for a split second will either make my device flash a blank white screen, or the side of device will display blue( like it will if the device was on) ?and the sound will fuzz for a sec, but neither of these will result in the device starting up. i just want the wonder if that is normal and will that damage the device.
ps.
i already know The correct way to start up my device is to pull down on the button for 2+ secs.

Worried That I Just got a faulty Creative Zen 4GB. Tell me I am wro

Hey there,
Just got my second creative player and having enjoyed the previous mp3 player?product, also the sound cards/speakers and all sorts I've got off them over the years. Im concerned that they have let me down this time... I just got a Creative Zen 4GB and I noticed a strange rattling sound from inside the player, this seems?wierd for a device with no moving parts etc what could it be? is the device faulty or are they all like this?
Tell me I don't have to send it back!

Thanks for the replies,
I have contacted Creative, and they do advise to send it back, which I will do.
The rattling I hear is when I shake the player slightly, Im sure its a loose battery. They really should have devised a better way of fixing the battery in. Because I might use it out running and exercising so having the battery rattling around might damage the player further. I've decided to send it back to the site I got it from and just get it from a shop instead, less hassle with returning items.
I believe the battery is suppose to be fixed down with simple sticky tape, looking at the really useful link thats posted above, it seems to confirm it. Quite a crude method if you ask me, for a product of its price level.

Creative ZEN 4gb compatible with Creative MediaSource

Hi,
I was just wondering if I can use my new Creative Zen 4gb with Creative MediaSource. I really like MediaSource and I would prefer to use it the only problems is when ever I connect it its keep locking up and crashing especially when I go to creative playlists. I used to use mediasource for my Zen Micro. Any suggestion? or does creative no longer support MediaSource with there new players?Thanks!

Strife04 asked the following:"Hi, does anyone know which Creative MediaSource Player/ Organizer is compatible with the new 4gb ZEN and if there is one, where it can be downloaded? thanks in advance.":?My reply:Which 4gb Zen?I have the Zen V Plus 4 gig and MediaSource Player/Orginizer running on a?Windows XP SP2enabled Dell.
This works fine for me.

Creative Zen 4GB bad memory sector

"Creative Zen 4GB bad memory sectork After a few months benI'venoticing that trying to load more media into my Zen gives errors like "Not enough space on disk" or "An unknown erroroccurred". This happened when I load files, it gets to around the 2.GB mark, and then files don'ttransferto it. I've tried formatting via the Zen onboard formatter, formatting it though the computer, uploading files though the onboard SD importer and though the computer. Ibelievethat a sector of my flash memory has died. I want to try and do a zero-out of the data, much like on a regular hard dri've, in witch this feels like the only option. But I don't know a way because of the fun limitations of<span class="Apple-style-span">MTP. And I'vebengoogling for months on how to fix this, but nothingusefulhas been dug up. Is there a way to fix the broken sector I have Macs, most WindowsMachinesand Linuxmachines, so I have no platform limitations. I would like for it to be as easy as a full formatinsteadof the quick-formats it seems to perform every time I try a conventional format.
Thanks, Zack

If all else failed (format and clean up), you may need to call tech support and send in the device for repair. The cost however is quite expensi've for out of warranty repair/replacement. :smileyindifferent:

Creative Zen 4gb, is it supposed to turn off the display to save the batte

I just bought a Creative Zen 4gb, is it supposed to turn off the display when I'm listening to songs?to save the battery?
Mine doesn't. It just goes dim.

Creative ZEN 4gb video gets out of sync, please h

When i play back relati'vely long videos (around 30 minutes or more) on my new Creative ZEN 4gb? the audio part of the video i'm watching becomes out of sync with the video after 5 minutes or so, hence the words that characters say don't match up w/ their li
ps.
get the picture? it is REALLY annoying and i've tried firmware .20 and it didn't help, i've also reverted to .0, same problem. is it just my player or is this a common occurance and what can i do to fix it's thanks a bunch. and don't get me wrong, i think that despite the bugs the new ZEN is a good player.

hmm... come to think of it, that makes total sense. that could also be why the screens lag a bit when i'm listening to music and browsing my system settings as fast as i can. i'll try encoding my videos at a lower bitrate tomorrow, have any good setup in mind? (i.e. xxxKbps format-.xxx audio xxxKbps format-.xxx) also, i would think that a high bitrate (high enough to slow the player down) would produce visual slowness in the videos, and thus i could tell if that was the problem or not. but i haven't noticed visual slowness so does it work some other way or is it just so subtle that it takes a while to notice the video losing sync with the audio?

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

IPod 80gb turns of by itself and won't turn on, iPod 80gb turns off by itself and won't turn on

My iPod is acting a little weird lately. It completely turns of all by itself and won't turn on back again. It turns on only when I connect it to the PC. I taught it was the problem with the battery but, it happens even when it is fully charged. I was watching some videos right after I had it fully charged and all of a sudden it turned off. I tried turning it on but, it didn't work and I connected to my PC, the apple logo showed up slowly and started working as usual. Please help me to sort this out.

Try a hard reset the next time this happens to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, you may want to consider restoring your iPod via iTunes to rule out software corruption.

Connect to iTunes and restore. If you have difficulty, you may have to put the device into Recovery Mode. See the instructions in this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
