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.

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not work with

    Hi,i formatted my hd 2 days ago.
    I loose my cd with creative zen micro photo expoler.
    When i connect my mp3 with usb cable appears an autoplay window of windows Xp that show me what i cand do with my mp3(Transfer Files with Windows media is the only option).
    How I can do to use my mp3 with Creative Organizer?
    Where i can find creative zen micro photo explorer?

    Top of page on Creative banner, click Support-> Downloads-> MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen MicroPhoto, chose your language and Operating System and select the software that you need.
    Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the Show Details... pop-u
    ps.
    Looks like Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer isn't posted any more, so Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) would probably be your best bet.
    I have had no luck getting MediaSource 5.x to work with my computers and I've tried very hard.

  • ZEN 4GB does not power on unless plugged with lapt

    I bought a new creative zen(4GB) a week back.
    I charged it fully for 5 hrs and then tested it by playing a few songs and videos.
    I switched it off and tried to power it on after around 5 hrs but it did not respond.
    When i connected it to the laptop again...it got powered on. After that i removed it from laptop and again played a couple of songs.
    If i power it on after short intervals...it works...but if i power it on after 2-4 hrs it does not power on unless docked to the laptop and this is a recurring feature.
    Please, respond in case someone has faced such a thing or could give some idea.
    Thanks.

    I would use recovery mode, do a format of the player and then upgrade the firmware if you have not already upgraded. The format eliminates any possibly corruption (which can cause shut down and battery performance issues) and it also resets the player settings... the later firmware versions definitely have better battery and charging performance in my experience (current for the ZEN 2/4/8/6/32 is .20.02)
    If it still happens after that then it may be a defect. It does happen - and support can help you get a warranty replacement in that situation. Even though it seems like the forums are always flooded with problems you have to keep in mind the massi've number that don't have any issues and never have any reason to visit here (so in other words keep the chin up, if you do have to get a replacement don't panic).

  • 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.

  • Zen Vision M not connecting

    ?I've searched through everything I could find here and tried them all, to no avail. Here's what's happened. My Zen Vision M (30 Gb) wouldn't start when connected to 3 different PCs I use it with. I figured it needed firmware update or something, so I tried that, but all update tools say I need to connect the Zen. I tried clean up and formatting all to no avail. Same not connected issue. Then I searched through the forum and saw the exclamation point in device manager issue, so I uninstalled and then plugged it back in. No more exclamation point and it shows up in device manager, but none of the firmware update options recognize the Zen is connected (or Media Player 0 or ). Device manager says it's operating fine, but Zen Media Explorer, MP3 recovery tool, and Media player do not recognize it as connected. Since it's older, all Creative said was EOSL... Are there things I haven't tried?

    Re: Zen Vision M not connecting,Thanks, I had thought I'd tried everything, but as it turns out, one laptop I was using that I thought had Media Player 0 had . I don't think my player was ever exposed to 0, but I rolled back one on a laptop to 0 and then tried the firmware updater I had saved on that laptop and it worked! I'm back in business!? Now am reloading about 25 Gb of music, but that's a pain I can deal with. I tried the different cords and as for OS, one is Vista, one XP Media Center, and one XP. All are up-to-date with service packs etc. I had just updated Norton 360 and I read somewhere that it can mess up USB ports, so that may have started all the fun. In the end, thanks to all in these forums as I never would have thought of rolling back Media Player and the other things I did. Kudos to all....

  • 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?

  • 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 won't turn on manually and acting stra

    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'sdoes 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.

    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.

  • Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging

    (Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging( Hi, I recently bought a refurbished ZVM that doesnt seem to charging properly. When I first got it, it hadnt been charged in quite some time so the battery was overdead. My PC couldnt detect it when I connected it via usb and it didnt even start charging at all. I then connected it to a wall charger and it finally started charging. The strange thing is it never fully charges. I've charged it twice now, both times for at least about 2 hours, and the battery doesnt go more than 50%. And when I connect it to my PC to transfer songs, instead of resuming its charge, my battery runs out. Is this a case of a faulty battery? I li've in Australia and I bought it from the USA. I would prefer not to go through the trouble of returning it if I could. Anything I should do like leaving it to charge for an even longer time? Also one more thing I should mention. When I remove the wall charger and plug it back in, it takes the ZVM sometime to detect it, about 30 minutes or so, and start charging again. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. I just mailed mine in for repair today.

  • Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

    Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
    When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
    There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
    Any help greatfully received!

  • 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.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
