Creative zen touch & windows vista 32 bit

Can anyone tell me which Firmware or software I need to install so that I can get my mp3 player working again. Have Windows Vista 32 bit, and Creative Zen Touch with about 5 gigs worth of music on, which is now stuck on it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a zen neeon. Tried running the program, all the set up prompts seem to work, but the program is nowhere to be found after "installation".
I don't want to have to buy another player, seeing this one has 200 songs in it. (which is nothing compared to your 5 gigs!Would be a real pain in the ar$e.

Creative Zen Touch 20GB - Windows Vista

(Creative Zen Touch 20GB - Windows Vista6 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,

Creative Zen Touch Vista Iss

Hi,
I've had my Zen Touch now for about year. I had a fairly bog standard pc with Windows XP as the OS. At the end of January this year I got a brand new pc with Windows Vista. Ever since then I cannot use the Creative media program that came with my MP3 player and now just recently I can't get it to recognize that my player is plugged into my PC. It makes a funny little noise like its saying 'NO' when I plug the mp3 into my USB.
Is there a big problem with Creative Zen's and Vista? I also cant find anything online regarding this and send a couple of emails to Creative's technical support without reply.
If anyone needs more information then I'll gladly reply.
Cheers

Hi,?unfortunately there is an obvious problem with the sync manager from creative and vista. You can synchronize using winamp. Creative media organizer does not recognize the mp3 player, but winamp works as good as the software from creative. you can use the xp driver for the player (I mean there is no other choice)?best?

Creative Zen Touch vista problem.

My Zen Touch stopped working on me, I formated it, nothing, then clean it up, still nothing. So deleted my firmware to try to update it. Had the update downloaded, connected my mp3 player opened the update and it says my player is not connected, please connect player. Then when I checked my player it said Creative Zen Touch v0.0.0.

You can't update the firmware on Vista. Must be done on a XP computer with WMP0 NOT WMP? Find it here http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+Players

Zen Touch in Vista- Not working, don't know what to

I've looked around for over an hour and I still can't find a solution. I'm trying to install the software that my player came with onto a different computer that has Vista. I've read that there's a problem w/ that on Vista, but no where that tells me what exactly to do, or if there is anything to do at all. I read something about nati've drivers and firmware, but where would I even get that? I did go where you select your product, and then what type of system you have and look for firmware and applications. No firmware came up.. I have Vista 32 bit. Basically, I just want someone to tell me if I can use my Zen Touch in Vista right now or not. If I can, and there's something I have to do for it to work, what do I have to do?It seems like they would have a solution to it by now, especially since I paid about $300 for the mp3 player when I purchased it, and to find out it doesn't work in Vista would really piss me off. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.Message Edited by Tiffany3 on 09-2-200708:43 PM

I got it working... I had to instal the original cd on the XP machine and Windows Media player 0 too. apparently it was WMP0 that did the trick, I don't know why. Anyhow the new firmware installed and it now works on MY VISTA machine. I installed the newest applications for Vista and it I have problems using the software.. so I just use the drag and drop feature with windows explorer instead of the Creative MS 5 software. Oh, and I DID watch my language. I purposely put in symbols to blank out what the word I meant to say was. :smileytongue:

Zen Touch on Vista Ultimate 32

Hello,?I would like to know, how to install the software for Zen-Touch on Vista 32bit. I tried all updates i found (for XP) but i had no luck to get the device working. The device is recognized by the System and?i can see the files on it. But the software shipped with the device wont work with it. Any help??

I do need some help, Using Vista Ultimate 64bit, and windows does recognized the Creative Zen Touch (mine is the 40 gig version) but then it says: cant find drivers. And then I can browse, but my CD (with win XP32 drivers) isn't really helping meplus I installed the play for sure firmware, so it should be recognized as a MTP (just like in winxpSP2 with wmp)

'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.

Creative zen touch problem - mediasource says it's emp

i've had my creative zen touch for more than a year and a half and used it every day with it working fine. a couple of weeks ago mediasource loaded it as empty on my pc. however all my music is still on it and i can play directly from the player but not through my computer. i've tried opening the player through other programs but this doesn't work either. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the creative software that came on the cd with it (mediasource, nomad explorer etc.) but it hasn't worked. does anybody know why this is and how i can fix the problem it's a bit annoying because i can't put any new music on it. thanks very much in advance. jonny.

Creative Zen Touch stuck in Recovery M

Bear with me please since my english is not the best, but I'll try to explain my problem as good as I can.
Both me and my girlfriend have Creative Zen Touch mp3-players, and yesterday we were gonna update the firmware on both of them. We went to the Creative support page download-section and downloaded the latest one. When we were gonan install it it gave us the message that all data would be removed and that was fine with us since we already had plans about removing most of the music and replace it with new tunes. But when we were installing the firware it statrted out just fine but then when it said "Player is being rebooted, please wait..." (or something like that) it just was like that for a long time. After 20 minutes my patience ran out and I unplugged my device and tried with my girldfriends instead. Same thing happened with hers so now both our players are stuck in recovery mode with no firmware what so ever in them. I tried installing the firmware once again on both of them but now it can't the firmware just says my device isn't plugged in even though it is and my computer finds it as soon as I plug it in.
I contacted support and they told me to uninstall everything that has to do with the player and also remove Windows Media Player and all of its components. The reinstall the drivers and restart my computer. Then I should wait until my device told me to updtae the firmware to press the language selection on the firmware update. I did all of this but the firmware upadate still says my player isn't connected. This happens with my girldfriends player too, so it can't be any defect on the device.
So right now we're sitting on two mp3 players that are useless since they are stuck in recovery mode with no firmware. Please help me if you can and please keep in mind to not use too difficult english words. Thanks in advance!
Worth mentioning is that I've tried both the old and new firmware updates just to get it going and no one worked.

Basically uninstall wmp, and it's run time and reboot
Be using XP

Don't unplug the player just reboot
Player should be found, ignore all messages of any kind
Go to FW update and double click it
Hopefully breathe a happy sigh of relief.

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

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 and Macs, plz h

Hi,
I am considering buying a Creative Zen Touch and would like some help
I was wondering if anyone could answer this for me, and yes, I have the read the FAQ and about Macs and how it isnt officially supported, yada yada
What I would like to know is, I have a PC at home which I will use to transfer music
HOWEVER
At Uni'versity, I am forced to use a Mac computer. What I want to know is, I would like to use the Zen Touch as a portable hard dri've so I can copy my homework (not mp3s, but school work) on to the Zen Touch, then go to Uni'versity, plug in the mp3 player into the Mac and access my DATA files from the Mac WITHOUT having to install any software (i.e. plug n play)
Thanks,

peterh85,
I'm afraid you can't. The player will need driver and application installed in order to link up with the computer for file transfer. Even when MTP firmware is available, you will need to be using Windows XP and Window Media Player 0 to interact with the player.

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?

Hi, I just had to reset my computer and i lost all my music... how do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer so i can listen to music again on my computer?

itsVASH,
Basically you do the reverse of how you got it onto the player to begin with. You will open up mediasource, select the Zen Touch in the left hand source window, select PC Music Library on the right hand side. Select your songs and press the arrow pointing to the right.

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?
