Creative Zen:M is not being recognized please he

Hi,I have had a creative vision zen:M for a few months now and had no real issues with it. Except the other day i was playing a music?video around 2mins and i tried to turn the volume up and it didnt respond i then tried the rest of the buttons and nothing worked and once the clip ended the screen just froze. I reset the player and all my videos were deleted so i went to the recovery mode and and pressed clean up afterwords restarted the player. The rebuilding icon came up and then creative came up though the music was still there but my videos weren't. I then tried to connect it to my computer the computer recognized it and the usual prompts came up thpugh when i went to Creative Zen:M explorer says it's not connected and its all grey so i cant do anything. I have looked in support area and have sent an email to the Creative people but they have not replied. Could anyone please tell me how i could get it to appear in the Media explorer? (by the way it's not the computer as i have tried it on another computer and it does the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated thnx!

Yeah, I have the same problem, Its a 3 month old player, when it deleted my videos it also took half of my music with it, and now I cant connect it. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP

Shuffle Blinking Orange/Not Being Recognized-- Please Help!

I just got a new iPod Shuffle 2nd generation.
I plugged everything in as stated in the instructions.
The only thing that happens is a folder "IPOD(E:)" pops up. It's empty.
Meanwhile, the shuffle is blinking orange.
So I open iTunes. ITunes tells me that this new ipod only works with ITunes 7.02.
Problem: But I DO have 7.02 running. That IS my current version of iTunes. So this pod SHOULD be working.
I'm not getting any "error" messages. Just an empty "IPOD(E:)" folder and the update message. There is no eject button for the shuffle because iTunes does not recognize any iPod as having been connected.
I have a 1st generation Nano that works fine also on this system. I have a Windows XP.
Help, please!

awg2009,
The iPod Shuffle (Second Generation) showing up as the E: drive, and iTunes reporting that you need iTunes 7.0.2 mean that iTunes 7.0.2 is not fully installed.
In iTunes, go to the Help menu, and then About iTunes, what is the version number in the first line of scrolling text?
If it still reports 7.0.1, close iTunes.
Go to www.apple.com/itunes/ and download iTunes 7.0.2.
When prompted to save or run the file, be sure to save the iTunesSetup.exe where you can find it later.
After it has downloaded, trun off your anti-virus software which may prevent the iTunes files that may be running in the background from being changed, and run the iTunesSetup.exe.
Restart the computer after installing.
Then connect the iPod Shuffle (Second Generation).
If that does not resolve the issue this article contains more information on troubleshooting iTunes install errors:

ZEN 16 Gig not being recognized by comput

Hey, I recieved my ZEN in the mail from Amazon today, installed the software like the instructions said, and plugged in my player, and that's when problems started. The thing is charging, so it's not the cable or anything of that sort, but updates fail to install on it, my computer doesn't recognize that it's there, so I can't add anything to my library, or register/install updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium on a cheap laptop HP setup. I had kept automatic updates on the down low, but figured that might have been a problem, so installed everything that would have been helpful. Didn't change anything to the predicament. The MP3 recovery tool, whenever it's run just says that I need to use XP/Vista to run it (even though I clearly am running Vista), and will not run.
I skimmed through the FAQs and the first page or two, didn't see anything that detailed the same problem. I'm not sure if its my computer or my player, it might be the computer since it's had issues reading CDs or anything external lately. But it normally will end up working anyway with other things. Any help would be so appreciated.

The install didn't work for me, and I'm pretty sure because that install was made for windows XP...but I'll try and find a UMDF install for Vista if I can, although, is it still in beta?Message Edited by Turbo_Moses on 2-3-2007:09 AM
Yeah it's for XP, sorry I should've mentioned, though I imagine that there will be a one for Vista (try emailing the Customer Support people).
It seems that it's just the luck of the draw, because I tried the ZEN on my girlfriend's laptop and it just worked, simple as chi
ps.
On a side issue, the firmware upgrade is worth installing once you can actually get it going. The main fix I've noticed is that the 'back' button now takes you back through the chronology of the folders as oppose to literally the last screen you were looking at (which can get somewhat frustrating when you are looking at the the album tracks and you want to go up a level to look at the albums, but it instead takes you back to the 'Now Playing' screen!)... anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent there.
Creative need to resolve these pitiful issues out - I can see less willed customer's just giving up and jumping back onto the Apple bandwagon. This is the first Creative product I've had (I was an iRi'ver man before), but I've been left a little deflated from my first impression, it seems like they've rushed the product out to get it in the shops before Christmas. Thankfully the product itself is good enough to pull me round.

My media is not being recognized by Final Cut! HELP PLEASE!

My media is not being recognized by Final Cut it was there yesterday and today it is not recognized by FCPX
it looks like this now>>> but it is I cans see it in Finder and Quicktime? HELP PLEASE!

That's a compound clip. Not sure what you've done, but that's not a clip icon. Where did this media come from? How did it get into your computer? Is it really HDV? Was it captured using FCP?

X-Fi not being recogni

I bought an X-Fi yesterday with a 5. speaker set up, only the X-Fi is not being recognized. it is an X-Fi Xtreme music, i put it in my PCI slot, space away from my graphics card, and it is connected to the power supply in a 4 pronged slot. It is not showing up at all, i have disabled the onboard sound in bios, and tried disabling the 934 slot or whatever, and no luck. when i try to install the firmware/drivers for the card, It says no unrecognized products.Message Edited by popshuvit3 on 0-30-2005 0:46 PM

Well my board only has a total of 2 PCI slots, below a PCI-e slot that is occupied by my x700 graphics card. It says in the manual and on the knowledge base to keep it one slot away from the graphics card so both can get enough ventilation. The slot in between the 2 is open by the way. Im going to call creative labs today to see what they have to say.
I just think its weird because the first time i installed it i didnt connect it to the PSU. I placed it in the slot away from the graphics card, like the manual says. I powered up my computer, and waited 5 min for it to be recognized, because usually plug and play is immediate. Then i decided to just try to install the X-Fi drivers, and then it comes up with this screen saying "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system.Please ensure your product is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will exit."Message Edited by popshuvit3 on 0-3-2005 02:50 PM

Windows Does Not Recognize iPod
btabz

My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

5th generation IPOD not being recognized by my Macbook

I recently purchased an Ipod Touch and it works fine. Now my 5th gen video Ipod is not being recognized by my macbook. I've tried it all restart, disk mode, checked the cable, switchd the port but nothing seems to help. It just does not appear on my macbook it will charge on a home or car charger but not through my mac book as if it doesn't exist!!
Please help Thank you

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.
Have you worked through all the sugguestions here as necessary?

Seagate portable drive not being recognized after OSX10.9.2

After I installed the 9.2 update, my Seagate portable external drive is not being recognized - doesnt show up in Finder, or Disk Utility, but I know the drive is live, as I can feel it vibrating
Someone please help, all my time machine backup is on that

I had the same issue - the Seagate drive is in a format that will recognize both Windows and Mac formats and there seems to be a flaw with Seagate. After working on this for five hours and finally calling Apple, I found out why. If you reformat to Mac OS extended journaled then they usually start working properly.
When I contacted Seagate they said it was best if you are just using a mac to just use the Mac formatting.
Hope this helps and good luck. Hope there wasn't any valuable data on the drive.
