Creative Zen Touch USB Docking Probl

Hi and thanks for looking:
I was trying to dock my Creative Zen Touch a few minutes ago, the way I usually do:
. I have Creative MediaSOurce open
2. I plug the USB cable into the Zen
3. It's docked.
But that didn't work. The "DOCKED" screen came up on my Zen for about 2-3 seconds, then went away and went back to Now Playing. Now, this sometimes happens, but if I reset the MediaSource software and plug it in again, it is usually all set, but no. I've tried over 20 times, with different USB cables too, but I just can't get anything to dock. I'm going to try on another computer and if I can get it to work, I'm planning on backing up everything I have on it. I don't want to reset my 3000 songs that are on my Zen, so if anyone has any solution to this problem, I could really use some help. Thanks!!

well with my micro, logging off other users and removing other background programs, real player etc.. sometimes seemed to help. try restarting your system.
I believe that recently rolling back from WMP affects the vision

Creative Zen Touch USB M

I have a Xbox 360, and i am told (via the manual, on-line manuals, and various other publications) that my music can be streamed from the player. However, it tells me that i need it to be in USB mode and the life of me i dont know how to do that.
I have it connected up as advised (the same way that it would be connected on a PC). Anybody give me any advice on the matter?
Many Thanks.

To use a player on the Xbox 360, it needs to be either a USB mode device (like a flash player, that works like an external dri've), or an MTP device. The Zen Touch does not work as an external USB dri've, so you would have to update it to an MTP firmware instead. This firmware is available on the downloads page, but read the details fully, as this will alter the firmware on the device, format the contents, and the process is not reversible.

Hi folks,
My old computer running XP recently gave up on me and I now have a new computer using Vista.
I have lost the cd I got with my Zen Touch as it was over 5 years ago now but it still works perfectly!
I want to set up Creative Media Player on Vista so I can start transferring music again but I have heard that if I download the firmwear I will lose all the songs that are currently stored. I really don't want this to happen as most of my music was contained on my old PC and it will be very hard to locate it all again so if there was a way I could just set up Creative Media Player the same way I had it before, without losing all my current music, that would be great!
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,

Zen Touch, USB Connection Probl

Ok, i just purchased my Touch today and just fooling around with it,, it seems great, until...... i tried to connect it to my computer.
I first installed the CD and then rebooted, after that i plugged it in and all i get now is a "unknown device" listed. I clicked on it and then tired to update the driver with the CD still in the dri've but it wouldn't find what i need.
Is there a driver that i need? All i can see that comes with the cd is the Nomad Explorer and some manuals.
As for the install section i didn't install the Media Source as i have a Audigy 4 Pro, so i have Media Source installed already. But even opening MS nothing happens.
Any ideas? lol,, i love spending 500 bucks and having to spend 2 days trouble shooting to make it work.

Ok i installed it and it still didn't work... So uninstalled everything and then reinstalled it all allowing Media Source to install.
The error message that comes up is this:
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
Then it gives my USB Root Hub (6 ports)
and on one port it has UNKNOWN DEVICE. If i click on that device i can get to the point where i can install drivers but where would i find these drivers? The only Driver folder on the CD has .exe files not .inf ?
This is annoying and confusing.

Creative zen touch 40gb docking sys

hello
does anyone have a docking system compatibility list for this system?
thanks

I have the same thing, and I have yet to find any docking stations. Tell me if you find one though, because I'm totally interested!

Creative Zen Touch no longer docking; problem has appeared out of the bl

For the last couple of years, I've used my Creative Zen Touch without any issues. I managed to upgrade to the MTP firmware with no troubles whatsoever. When I tried to plug it in a few days ago and add a number of songs, the computer no longer recognised the player. The USB ports seem fine, and when I plug it in the player boots. It doesn't come up with the "docked" screen on the player, however, and in Windows a "trying to add new hardware wizard" window pops up that never used to pop up before. Whatever I try to do, it never works. I'm using Windows XP SP2 and like I said, I never used to have any issues before until this popped out completely unexpected. It just won't realise that the Zen Touch is a MTP player for some reason!

The people on the forum who would respond are customers, like you, being rude to them probably won't encourage them to help.
These two pages contain some useful tips, have you checked these yet?

Connecting Creative Zen Touch to Stereo (Bose Lifestyle Syst

Hi Folks,?A bit of a naf question, I want to connect my Creative Zen Touch to a Bose Life Style System, To provide the best quality Audio connection can you advise what is the best cable for me to use. On a seperate note has anyone any comments on the Cambridge SoundWorks Dock Station, I would like something to connect the Zen Touch to for the kitchen, the cambridge sounddock id a bit of an ugly beast. Is there anything a little easier on the eye but with the same excellent audio quality. Thanks in advance for any help?Earlsie

If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.
Hope that hel
ps.
Here's a pic & link too:

You can buy it at any RadioShack (in America) and in Canada I would assume FutureShop would have it as well as any local electronics store.

CREATIVE ZEN TOUCH - CUSTOMER SERVICE WONT H

CREATIVE, i will never ever buy another product from you again and will encourage all others not to buy from you because of your poor customer service. My problem is not with the product as such, i own a Creative Zen Touch and until about?6 weeks ago everything was going fine, when i formatted my harddri've. It was then i relised i had misplaced my Zen Touch software CD, so as you'd expect the first place to look would be this website.. off i go looking around the store and customer support, i even sent an email.. to be fair i did receive an automated response about tunring off the Zen and trying again (useless when i need a software cd howevere), so i waited a while (a week) to see if they'd reply - which they didn't. So, i then sent another which ended with the same result., and then again with the same results. Just now i finally called customer support (paying intl call-rates) and all i got was an automated response telling me to log onto the customer-support page on the website. ARGHH!!?Basically if anyone, ANYONE can please please tell me where i can get the Creative Zen Touch software CD it would very very very very very appreciated as i go on holiday in two weeks and i don't really want to fork out more cash on an I-Pod or I-Pod alternati've (never again will i buy Creative).

Clearly, this is not true.
Despite seeing everywhere that "firmware available via USB from creative.com" the Creative Sleek Photo has no firmware that is available online anywhere and when you ask, everyone from customer support talks to you as if you have 5 heads for even suggesting that it should be available like anything else is.
This IS ridiculous and I too, have no more interest in Creative products despite purchasing my last 2 MP3 players from this brand, I'm done with this mess. It's frustrating beyond belief that a simple fix turns into a huge fiasco all because the company has no real rhyme or reason for failing to offer any support for a product, instead forcing you to send said product in the mail to take weeks for something that otherwise take a few minutes.
Truly absurd.

Recharging the Creative Zen Touch via

Hello Users,
since I upgraded to Vista, I also needed to install the new PlaysForSure-Firmware on my Creative Zen Touch. Afterwards I was unable to recharge the battery via USB. I connect the player as usual but the little loading symbol on the screen won't show up and even after 2 or more hours of waiting, the battery didn't recharge. I also already tried resetting the player.
Is there any way to fix that problem without buying a new recharge-cable. The battery is empty right now and it is not possible to start the player.
Thanks for your help,
Dr_Enquinox

If you mean the power adapter, then I would/can only recommend the official ones. If others want to recommend or point to unofficial ones that is okay, but we do not support those and have not tested them.
The cable you use to connect to the PC is a standard USB to mini-USB cable, you should be able to get that in any electronics/computer store.
When you connect the player to the PC, is there any sign that it is recognised? Does it show up in the Device Manager?

Creative zen touch car accessor

hello,ipod has this?adapter where you can plug?it into the cigarette lighter and it plays the ipod over the radio and the speakers in your car,i was wondering is there any item like that for my creative zen touch?

A case is coming from Creative.
I don't remember hearing anything about a dock yet.
The video cable was being discussed on another thread, and it wasn't clear whether 3rd party cables work or not.
There's no need to buy a travel adapter. Just buy a plug adapter for the current adapter.
Screen protectors for the iPod apparently fit pretty well. They might need some trimming, or you can just buy another oversized screen protector e.g. for a PDA, and cut to size.
There have been MANY headphone recommendation threads, like this one. Try searching back. I personally recommend Sony's EX5/7 canalphones, as well as the Sharp HP-MD33S canalphones (Creative have rebadged these and sell that as the EP-630s). They might be a little above your budget, but are both great canalphones.

Creative Zen Touch DAP-HD0014

Hi, I have a problem with this, when it boots up it says firmware problem and boots to recovery mode. I've downloaded the firmware and am unable to update it as there is a message saying not connected. I have tried USB ports on front & rear on my PC and with different cables. Any ideas would be gratefully received!

The zen touch has to to be installed as a?WPD instead of a MTP. The process of rolling back the windows media takes out the auto to make it's a MTP.
So I suggest to the creative dudes is make a driver that loads the players as a WPD and the upgrade will work on all the players.
Everybody that lets it load as a MTP will never get the Upgrade button to work.
Very simple problem. Yes. But how do you get it to install as creative zen touch WPD. You will have to do alot of things to your computer and then luckily it will load as a WPD.
I am asking the creative team to modify the Upgrade installer to recognize the new MTP for the Upgrade installer the simplest solution. Alittile GIU programming guys.
I await the the new Upgrade installer.
PS The whole purpose for the upgrade is to be in MTP mode. Once it reboots the first time the upgrade installer should recognize the player as a MTP no matter what! Then we could hit the upgrade buton to install the firmware 2..0.
Hellloooooo

'Thanks a million for the link, KokChoy-CL! You are now on my X-mas present list.
I have been using the .0.03 firmware, but recently I read http://forums.creative.com/t5/MP3-Players/Zen-Touch-Custom-EQ-Frequencies-Wrong/m-p/64205" and wanted to try out the .00.06 firmware. Comparing from memory and using custom EQ, lows and mids sound much more clear now while bass is a bit more on the light side.
