Creative Zen sync with win

So I recently got a Zen (6 GB) and I use Winamp for syncs, but I get either really really slow startup or frozen Winamp. Anyone else getting this problem?

Creative Zen stone with speaker not recognized by Vista 32

My creative zen stone with speaker is not recognized by computer. Downloaded starter pack and it worked, but the first time i disconnected it and connected again, the device is not in "my computer". It is listed as working properly under "safely remove hardware". Uninstalled drivers, and connected again, driver was installed and I am told the device is ready to be used, but it is still no where to be seen, and update tools etc. also does not recognize connected device.
thank you

Try going into "Control Panel->Administrati've tools" and clicking on "Computer Management". Find "disk management" in the left pane and click it. Your Stone should be in the right somewhere. I think you need to right click, then "choose dri've letter and paths" and give it a dri've letter with the "add" button. Let us know if that works.

Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.

Creative Zen Review With the AudioBook Listener In Mi

Here is a copy of my review of the Creative Zen which I just published on the amazon.com mp3 player forum in the thread I started over a year ago entitled "What's the best player for AudioBooks " It is the longest thread in the forum with little indication of slowing down, and it can usually be found as the first thread in the forum.
http://www.amazon.com/tag/mp3%20play...MxM6KCQW5Q9B6C
I wound up getting the Zen 4GB a few weeks ago but delayed posting until I figured out how I liked it.
- I like that it has a big screen with big text that I could get by using without my reading glasses (old eyes) in a pinch. That is a very toughtful touch I have't seen on any other players (not that I've seen them all.)
- The big screen will also show pictures and videos which I don't care much about but is a nice feature if desired.
- The big screen doesn't come with a cover and it will get scratched up fast. It took me a while to figure this out so my screen got a little scratched up before I realized it.
Consider screen covers mandatory. They are sold seperately in a 3 pack for around $8. This is so important the device ought to have come with at least one screen cover in the box, even if it raised the price $2. My screen cover has been on for a few weeks and shows no sign of wear or coming loose. I did combine it with a rubber device cover I got on amazon for $3 which protects the whole device and covers the edges of the screen and screen protector. The unit is now protected. The cover comes with a little strap and D-Ring clip which is good for hanging onto some piece of clothing.
- It has a built in battery which is good. It supposedly takes a long time to recharge but that is not an issue for me. I just plug it in to a USB port with the included 4" long cable and it has plenty of time to charge during the day for my use. A fast AC charger is available at extra cost (~$25 I think.)
- Defect: The unit shuts off after being on pause for a few minutes (good) but it starts up at the beginning of the track when you restart (bad.) If you turn it off, it restarts where you left off as it should. This would not be an issue for music listeners, but it is for audiobook listeners when the track may be an hour to several hours long.
- Defect: Bookmarks are not at the top of the Menu list and although some menus are customizable, the one with Bookmarks is not.
- Defect: You can't get to Bookmarks when in the book. You have to back up to Music Menu, click to get to menu, and scroll 2 spots to get to Bookmarks. Not a deal breaker when you get used to it, but clearly not designed properly with the audiobook user in mind.
- Sound quality: very good. Even with music, very nice.
- Included headphones: Nice sound. They fall out of my ears and get tangled up a lot but I think thats true of most earbud headphones. I'm going to get the Sony Sport headphones I've had before with a foldable over the head strap.
- Bookmarks: 0. Plenty for me. (Who listens to more than 0 books at a time )
- Price: $90 for 4GB. I thought that was quite reasonable.
SUMMARY: With a few menu enhancements and the ability to return to it's place after a pause/shutdown, I'd consider this device close to perfect for the audiobook listener.

Try going into "Control Panel->Administrati've tools" and clicking on "Computer Management". Find "disk management" in the left pane and click it. Your Stone should be in the right somewhere. I think you need to right click, then "choose dri've letter and paths" and give it a dri've letter with the "add" button. Let us know if that works.

Can i use my Creative Zen Touch with my Xbox 360

Hello, wondering if you can help me out with the question above, and if you know how to make it work. If you could help me i'd be grateful.

You can use the Zen Touch with the Xbox 360, but you would have to update the firmware on the player to an MTP (2.x) firmware. This will slightly change the way the player works on the PC. For more information on MTP, check this knowledgebase article.

N97 Sync With Win 2000

Hi,
Just got the N97 as an upgrade to my 5800.As with the 5800, I've a problem in trying to sync with my work PC which runs on Win2K. Current versions of PC Suite and Ovi Suite doesn't support Win2K, so my question is, does any of the older Win2k compatible versions sync with the N97? If not, is there anyway to sync my office calendar with the N97?

hmm i think that you might be able to connect your phone via ovi suite through usb option and sync your contacts in that way. for contacts and messages also consider those options until ovi figures itself out and actually becomes stable and usable.

consider these options but try syncing ovi via usb to your phone first.

Creative Zen 16GB with iPod USB wall charg

I have a wall charger my wife uses for her iPod. Can I use this to charge my Creative Zen 6GB, or will it burn it out?

It shouldn't burn it out unless there is some sort of major diviation in wiring?from the USB standard. I couldn't imagine Creative or Apple doing such a foolish thing. Best thing to probably do is to give it a try. It should either charge or not charge. All USB should be nominally 5V @400-500 mAh, the AC adapters often deli'ver higher current to enable faster charging. More current won't hurt, the player will only use what it needs.

Uploading to Zen Micro with Win Explo

I'm thinking of getting a Zen Micro, but I want to know if it will be recognized with a dri've letter in My Computer (Win XP). If it is, and I copy music to it using drag and drop, will the Micro be able to play that music? Any other related info would also be appreciated.
Mike

It won't at first unless you flash the firmware to the latest 2.x version. But I don't recommend using the 2.x if you don't use an MTP, "playsforsure", or pay for mp3 download services. If you are fine getting the mp3's else where, then stick with the .02.05 firmware. I have no problems with that one.
So if you are getting your micro fresh out the box, install the drivers and software that's included with the cd before plugging it in. Then go on the creative site and download the updates. It does sound like hassle for the majority of people but who doesn't want updates that might help fix a few bugs?
I don't think it's a hassle at all, it's just a small thing to deal with.

How To: Get Your Creative Zen Working With Vis

I am an owner of the now outdated Zen 20gb HD0005. Upgraded to Vista Business recently and have not been able to get the player working, the installation cd wouldnt work and neither would the updates at uk.creative.com There is a way! Go to http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ame=Windows+XP (from the US Creative download archi'ves), download the driver to your desktop or where ever. The driver is originally for XP, however, once it is downloaded right click the setup file and select properties. In the new window go to the Compatibility tab and select: Compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2And, at the bottom, check that the box next to 'Run As An Administrator' is also ticked. Click Apply and then OK and run the setup. It should now (at 67% through the installation) update drivers (this may seem to hang, please be patient!) and then will ask you to reconnect your player. Unplug it, click ok, then plug it in at the end of installation, go to my computer and you should hopefully see that your Zen is under 'Other Devices' I hope this is help to some of you with the same problems as I had!

it seems that it now detects the player but wont run in organiser, only in Explorer. Only thing i can think of is burning songs to disc and then adding them to comp again, unless anyone else has any suggestions?

My creative zen stone (with speakers) is being very strange! Please he

Hi!
I got a pink creative stone with speakers (and no screen) about a month ago.
This morning I tried to turn it on, and the green light came on, but there was no sound. When I plugged it into my computer, it wasn't recognised, and it didn't come up on my computer, therefore, I can't use the recovery tool
. No amount of pushing at the on and play button, or resetting it with a paperclip works.
I'd really, really like some help!!! Thankyou very much!!!!
Katherine

here's my suggestion, if you have not formatted your player before, format it using fat32. What happens is, it immediately plays the songs 3 to four seconds after you press the play button long enough.
with the default settings of zen stone, the player starts playing songs after ten or so seconds that might be the reason you had time to fiddle with the toggles before the songs play when in fact it takes that long because it wasn't formatted to fat32.

Creative Zen Micro with a ! on its side: not work

I had the Zen Micro installed in my computer but it stopped working. If I now connect the portable device nothing appears, and it tells me that I have to install the drivers. I put the cd in, but at some point it gives me back an error message saying that the .inf files refers to a service that doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?Does it have anything to do with a usb problem?

ANY IDEAS?

ITunes Sync with win 8.1

My iphone will no longer complete the syncing process on my desktop. After it syncs the contacts and calendar, I get a message that the computer is no longer authorized. I have reauthorized it, deauthrorized and reauthorized it, I called Apple and was told to reinstall itunes. I did that and it still doesn't work. Now they want me to pay for further assistance. It will sync on my old laptop. It worked fine on this desktop until a couple of days ago. Any suggestions?

Hello, JimLCWV.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. Or the computer has not been authorized to play or sync content. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Creative Zen 32g with MediaSource? possib

Is it possible to use MediaSource with the new Zen 32 gig?
If possible, can you direct me to the correct url to download it's
I have downloaded Zen Media Explorer and due to the large number of songs on my computer (8000+), Zen Media explorer is very very slow to sort, add/delete and/or create playlists.
I'm guessing MediaSource will be much quicker

Newer software? as in the Zen Media Explorer? that is absolute junk. I have 8k+ songs, everytime I want to sort them by genre or artist, ect. it takes minutes, let along trying to do everything else.... I know MediaSource is no gem, but anything is better than this stuff.... makes me want to take back this awesome little player.
