Creative Zen V won't charge, is not recognized, simply not work

hey. couple of weeks ago i bought myself a creative v zen. i have win xp prof sp2 and everything was working fine. few days ago suddenly media explorer crashed while i was transfering music to the player. i had to reset my player. since then, my zen is simply not recognized, neither by media explorer, nor by windows itself. there's always a mtp device being found, but it won't install the drivers. i reinstalled all the drivers and all the software, i downloaded all the updates, but it's still not working. my player won't even charge itself. only if i'm lucky enough. and everytime i turn on the zen, it says that it's rebuilding the media library. does anyone know how to fix that thing ?

Have you try running Cleanup from Rescue mode?

Almost new battery won´t charge, does not work on AC

After spending a few days in Taiwan (110V) the battery of my PB G4, A1138 won´t charge any more. Power connector lights amber.
After coming back to Austria, i connected the PB for 2 days and it would charge again and worked proper. Now, 2 months later, the battery again refuses to charge, coconut battery & system profiler say that there is no AC power connector & battery is not charging. It won´t power up with AC connected. I did the PMU reset and PRAM reset - no effect.
The battery is an original Apple replacement and has only 40 loading cycles. i´ve measured the voltage at the battery connector in the battery slot (3V & 6V depending on the pins), so the charger provides voltage.
Can anybody tell, if the DC-in board is faulty or if it´s the logic board or something else?
I´m thankfull for any advice!

It's fairly common for the pre-MacSafe power connectors on the computer to loosen due to stress. The points where the barrel-shaped chrome connector assemble is soldered (or flowed) to the logic board lose contact and you get intermittent charing at best.
If you connect to A/C adaptor and gently wiggle it up and down, can y ousee charging start again/ "Up" is the position where the contact should again meet.
My 1Ghz 17" MBP will not start on A/C alone until the battery has a little charge. I don't know it's the dead internal backup battery (common) of something else that causes two good 65W power supplies to report in Profiler as 45W.

Creative Zen Vision M Media Explorer does not work on Vi

I plugged in my device, all I can see was the name of the device under Portable Devices.
When I access Media Explorer, it said my device is not connect but in fact it actually is.
If I copy a file via Portable Devices, it automatically freezes up my computer.
Any idea how to resolve this problem?
Best regards,

You should be able to use WMP 2 to sync your files to the player . As long as the files have album art it will transfer. You can not add the album art to files that are already one the player .You would have to delete & then sync the files that have the art. Also You may be able to use the Zen Vision M Explorer for Vista on the Win7 just install using compatibilty mode for Vista (if Win7 has that as an option) there was one written for 64 bit systems as well as 32 bit. You can tell which is which by the file name. 64 is in the file name for a 64bit system/ 32 in the 32 bit system file name.http://support.creative.com/Products...VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_433,VARSET=CategoryID:23 Click on View all Downloads

Creative ZEN MX problems with charging battery

/Creative ZEN MX problems with charging batteryHi!
I've bought Creative Zen MX player a couple months ago. First thing I noticed when I plug in it into my computer was that battery after 3 hours was not full, what is more computer disconnected with it couple times;/
After weeks or two when I tried to charge it i Went where I bought it and they said after some examination that it really didn't work
They've sent it to the service. I had t wait for the return two months!!! and at the end they said that that tiny usb wire was damaged not mp3.
OK . The battery was fully charged maybe on 5 attempts ;/
There is no problem in my computer because I tried it on several other and it did not work ;/ ?Please, help me
Where is the problem?
?Why this player simply disconnect with my PC?

I was given this as a gift. I charged it for 8hrs when i got it and it showed fully charged. I have been trying to give it a full charge over the last 2 days once on a power adapter plugged into the wall the other through the USB port on my laptop .each for about 8hrs each. Using different cables. I remove the player and it shows full battery (never gives the plug icon though)and within 30 minutes of play music, I get the low battery warning. it was purchased on 0/6/200. nAlso it will not power on while charging.My original ZEN was able to play music when charging this one says DOCKED and will not repond to the power button being presses.

My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
i hope it can help you...
and trust me IT WORKS....

My iPod classic won't charge or be recognized on any device!

My iPod Classic 120GB won't charge or be recognized on any device.
I have tried charging it with both docks, wall chargers and a car charger, have tried different cables and charger combinations and it simply won't charge or make any noise, although when i plug it in the screen will light-up, as if to recognize i've plugged it in but nothing more.
Also when using it on a computer it simply comes up as device not recognized and that there is an error. Again i have tried 2 different computers both with a multitutde of different cables and usb port combinations. It won't come up as a drive or in iTunes
I have tried doing the two button menu + select reset many, many times and this doesn't fix it.
I have also tried booting it into dfu mode and disk mode and in neither of these modes will it charge or be recognized on the computer. I have tried reinstalling the drivers on both pc's to no avail.
The one strange thing though that is giving me some small hope is that what I did earlier was completely discharge the device to the point when it says please connect your charger and when i connect a charger it actually says charging, please wait, and then boots into the menu but as soon as it hits the menu it stops charging and will die again within about ten-fifteen minutes (if playing music).
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, i know it's no longer under warranty and i live in New Zealand so there's very little support for these devices here!

I've solved the problem, after having an Ipod Classic do the same thing a year ago out of warrenty I bought the Nano.Now 1 yr old and this Nano is useless, not even heavy enough to be a paper weight.Taking the unit to the idiots at the Apple store did nothing...GREAT customer support there Apple! After doing some research I've found that this is an ongoing problem and apparently Apple doesn't want to fix it.The Nano is in the garbage and I will no longer buy Apple products. I purchased an MP3 player and will transfer the music I have in Itunes to MP3's and find a site that supports MP3 players to buy music from in the future....All that's left is for me to hit all the social media sites I use and explain the problem and Apple's solution...what a waste of my time AND my money!

I just got My iPad 2 for a few days ago but why the charger is not working, how they are going to replaced it with a new one ? ?

Please be informed me... with my battery or charger problems....
my iPad 2 charger is not working....
since I've got it for five days ago, I only use it for three times....
Are they going to replace it with a new one ?

Most likely yes. There's a manufacturers warranty against defects for a year. I'd contact your place of purchase and talk to them about it.

Charger is not working properly

Hi, after 10.9.2 update my charger is not working properly. First I thought the problem was the charger itself had died, but then I saw a pale light. I searched here and found that resetting SMC could be a solution. It worked for a while, but now the problem is back and resetting again doesn't work. I also resetted PRAM and nothing happens. The light is now green, but battery status says it isn't charging.
What else can I do? Mavericks updates are a headache that has already made me format my laptop – because of another problem– and I'd love to avoid it. Thanks in advance.

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.
OOW: Take your MBP & charger to your local Apple Store or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!

My ipad 2 died. It is not charging and not working. Help?

My ipad 2 has suddenly died. It is not charging and not working. It is under the one year warranty. Does anybody have experienced such problem?

If you are stuck with the Apple logo then the last section on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 suggests putting the iPad into recovery mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097 (which so far I havn't need to do with mine)
