Creative Zen Vision data cable: where to buy o

I lost my Zen:Vision data exchange USB cable a few months ago, i have since bought 2 more from amazon which only work for charging uses. Their description stated they could be used to exchange data, but they don't seem to work with my PC.
Does anyone know where i can buy a replacement (official) USB cable?

Hi,
If you have not already, it's best to get in touch with Customer Support in your respecti've region so that they can advise on the availability of the cable.

  • Where I can find free drivers for Creative Zen Vision

    I've lost my Creative Zen Vision:M drivers, so I can't share with my friends my music, videos and photos. Do you know where I can find these free drivers for Zen Vision:M?

    I've downloaded Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02e and it says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". I've connected my Creative Zen Vision:M with PC and it always says to me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". What I must do now Thanks.

  • Buying a creative ZEn Vision M Please help !

    Hi there
    I am debating on buying a creative zen Vision M after two years of i pod problems. My issue is can u convert the music from the i tunes libary to the player? or will u lose all that music
    Thanks

    --- If you have purchased the music from the iTunes Music Store, you will not be able to use the music on the player - iTMS music is iPod only.
    There is a workaround (but it might not be legal, if you like to stay that way) - burn the music to a CD, then re-rip it in MP3 format using your favourite ripper. (iTunes will rip to MP3 - the option is under the 'Importing' tab on 'Advanced'.)
    --- If your music is in AAC format, you can use a converter to change them into MP3. Be advised that this causes a major loss in quality - and if you own the CDs, you'll be better to re-rip them from scratch to ensure that they sound good.
    You can do this conversion in iTunes - simply make sure that the format in the Advanced/Importing settings is set to MP3 (92kbps is fine for conversion). You can open the Settings window by clicking 'Preferences' in the Edit menu.
    --- If your music is in MP3 format, you don't have to do anything! The ZV:M will play it nati'vely.Message Edited by Lokiz0r on 07--2006 09:8 AM

  • Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

    I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

    Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

  • Creative Zen Vision M out of stock in Cana

    Hello guys,
    Just wondering whether there is any place where there is Creative Zen Vision M MP3 players, I have ordered with Dell and they have promised me that it is coming "soon" several times . Futureshop is out of stock, so as BestBuy. What happened to all the stock in Canada? When are we expecting them to come out again? Thanks!Message Edited by zhuanyi on 06-2-2006 0:53 AM

    I got mine yesterday in So Cal at Frys Electronic. They had all the colors..... I had the same problem. I called Creatri've and they told me they did'nt think they would sell so many. Sounds like the place I work for LOL. Lets see you will best of show at CES and you don't think you will sell a tun? I wanted to buy from the creative store but they have been out for a long time. I think they have them now.

    PS OMG this thing is so awesome. Way better then the Ipod.

  • Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) - Is it the end?

    Hi all,
    I've read a lot of posts and think the only way to find a possible solution to my problem is to just post it....
    I've had my Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) for about?2.5 years, apart from crashing a few times, I've always loved it and would never go near Ipod!
    Lately however it's done something, that it has done before which is to suddenly 'remove' about 2000 tracks, it would go funny, crash and reset a few times, recharge with the plug and it was fine again, the tracks 'reappeared'.
    Now it seems when it happened this recent time, 3000 tracks went and I was left with about 000. So i tried formatting everything cause it just wouldn't rectify itself, then I chose to reload the firmware but everytime I tried to connect it to my laptop it would say my player wasn't connected.
    I have recently baught a new laptop with Windows 7 and even without the software it detects it fine and I think I could just drag music over to it now. BUT - It only has 50mb of memory! Plsu MP3 Recovery Tool and online detection firmware thingy justy doesn't think my player is connected or says cannot update firmware on windows 7?
    So my questions?are - how do i fix it's Is my memory fried, would it be worth getting out the old laptop? Where do i go if i want to repair it's Even if it detects it in XP, the software doesn't detect the player.
    Can anyone shine any light here? Am I forced to buy another Creative product or do I jump ship?

    If the XP computer has WMP installed it may not detect the player (the firmware file) It works best on XP /SP2 WMP0 installed. The issue with WMP is a sticky in the MP3 players forum.

  • Creative Zen Vision M won't power up. Doesn't even show LED lig

    I received a Creative Zen Vision M as a Christmas gift last year. Worked fine for about 3 months, then I started having repeated freezing problems. Fixed those, but eventually the unit just died. No indication of any power. Not even the blinking light. Went to Best Buy where it was purchased, but they could not help. Best Buy tried to find a purchase record, but no luck. After giving up on it for a few months, I thought I'd try again today. I've had it connected by USB for the last 7 hours, but no luck. So what can I do now I like the Creative Zen products (I have had no problems with another Creative MP3 player), and I'd love to get this player working again because I enjoyed watching movies on it in flight.
    Your thoughts would be appreciated.

    This happened to me once, so I purchased a new battery, then left it plugged in for a few hours after that.
    It froze when I started it up, but when I reformatted it, everything worked fine again.
    That may or may not help, sorry.
    Good luck =]

  • Creative zen vision:M video download probl

    I have a new creative zen vision:m devise and I'm having real trouble downloading videos purchased from 7digital.co.uk and itunes. I'm able to convert videos that I either took with a digital camera or downloaded for free easily but wmv files will not convert. I get the error message that either the file is protected, not supported or missing codec directshow(r) despite the fact that the website and Creative user guide suggest that both wmv and mpeg4 files are compatible. Please help! I'm running windows XP

    SOLUTION:
    After lots of searching through the web, I have found this solution to our problems regarding transferring purchased video from 7Digital. This doesn't solve the mystery of the missing directshow codec (I haven't got a clue why VideoConverter thinks it is missing as I have just about every directshow/directX pack installed). This process involves making a copy of a copy of the video, but it looks fine to me:
    ) download and install the excellent freeware application ZD Soft Screen Recorder, available at http://all-streaming-media.com/recor...-recording.htm This is a brilliant resource which will allow you to record video from your computer screen and record the corresponding sound in the same file. It is totally legal as it merely copies an output and does not break any DRM.
    2) Launch ZDsoft and queue up the purchased video in Windows Media Player. Play the video to see the area of the screen it occupies and check 'record specified area' in ZDsoft. Then click 'select an area' and use this tool to draw a border round the area of the screen occupied by the video. Make sure no toolbars or cursors appear inside this border, otherwise they will be recorded too.
    3) In ZDsoft select 'AVI' as the output file, and choose the quality. DON'T choose WMV otherwise you will get the directshow error message again.
    4) Make sure 'record sound' is checked and click the 'settings' tab next to it. Choose one of the 'stereo mixer' options. Select 'start' to begin recording. The window can minimise if you wish.
    5) When the video comes to an end, right click the minimised window and click 'stop'. ZDsoft will then show you where it has saved the file and will ask you if you want to view it. If you select 'yes', make sure you have a media player set up to play .avi files. (Using an up-to-date real player as your default player for .avi files will result in the video then playing back in real player).
    6) Launch Creative VideoConverter. Add the .avi file you have just made to the conversion list and connect your Vision M. Select 'next'. The output seems to be restricted to WMV at 320 x 240 resolution and I don't know how to change this, but this is perfectly acceptable. Select 'crop to screen size' and 'transer to player' (or you can transfer later using MediaExplorer). And voila, you have your video on your Zen Vision M!

  • Creative Zen Vision: M 30 gb - DRM information corrupt or missing.....???????

    So I just started having this problem yesterday but it seem I'm the only ever to have it. I've scanned every page I can and can't find a solution. Yesterday I started playing my music then all of the sudden it stopped. Granted I was having problems before even though I just got this unit a month..........! I sent an email and still haven't received a response.
    Here's the problem. While listening to my music yesterday I encountered a message saying - Playback Error. This error persisted after changing the track. After going home and reformatting, reinstalling firmware, downgrading -> upgrading firmware, reformatting over and over and over again, disk clean up, system restore, reboots, default restore, reformatting, again reformatting, deleting every piece of information I could delete...... you might be getting the picture so far.... After doing all of this I was unable to download tracks again onto my MP3 player. The only ones I can upload are unprotected content. I got thinking maybe there is a problem in my DRM file..... Where is my DRM file on the MP3 player and how do I delete it's You can't. At least not what I found. So again I tried everything over and over again and nothing works. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. I have a 30gb Creative Zen Vision: M player, Windows XP/Vista 64, Napster ToGo and now I can't use my MP3. This unit is a month old and I cannot use it. PLEASE HELP ME. This is very long winded but I'm hoping this will help a little. Thanks in advance, I'm going insane without my music.

    Well I have never used a service like that. That's all I can think of off hand.

  • Creative Zen Vision M 30gb and Vista.

    Is there a way to get a Creative Zen Vision M 30gb to work on a Vista computer? It will save me buying my son a new MP3 player. Thanks.

    I've been in touch with Creative support for over a week now but so far without success. Every time I download links they suggest I still can't access Creative Media Explorer, I just keep getting this error message:-
    "The Creative Media Explorer that is compatible with this device is not installed. Please reinstall the application and try again"
    This has included deleting all previously installed Crteati've files as well as downloading in a 'Clean Boot'. I've also rebooted my Zen Vision M.
    At this rate I'll have to bin the Zen and look at an ipod:manmad:

The ones my friends &I purchased a couple years ago were essentially new. They did not look used & I have never had any problems or issues with mine. Not even a freeze-up.My battery is still lasts a long time. I love it. I've repaired my friends players for them but that's another story.

  • Creative Zen Vision M 30g wont dock

    Creative Zen Vision M 30g wont dockt Hello,
    Purchased the above player off of ebay, the player works in everyway but will not dock with the computer. I bought this for my son for Christmas because I have one and love it. Mine docks with the computer but his will not. When I try to dock the connection will turn the player on but the docking symbol will not come on.
    I have tried several different connector clips and usb cables and nothing, but all of the same clips and cables work just fine on mine. Also, when I use the wall charger for the player that does work and does charge.
    Any suggestions, and also could for some reason could the connection part at the bottom of the player be damaged in some way?
    Ive tried the reboot suggestion, Ive formated the player and nothing works.
    Sincerely,
    Alan

    Yes that could be .You may want to return to the seller if you can.Are you using WMP? Try opening Media Player & going to the sync tab to see if that helps it to load the driver for recognition.Formatting the player again could help also. In the past I have had to format more than once for a player to be seen by Windows.

    Hi, I stopped using this MP3 for about 2 or so years because I bought a new one. I decided to start using it again and downloaded all the required software but as soon as I unplugged the MP3 from the power outlet, the player died. I can't get it to start up without plugging it into a power outlet. I think it has rechargable battery? Why didn't it recharge itself?
    My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
    Thanks in advance!
    The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage.

  • How to save video to play on Creative Zen Vision M

    My (PC using) friend just bought a Creative Zen Vision M (the competitor to the video iPod). It will play MPEG1, 2, and 4SP and will play MPEG's created in an older version of iMovie (I forget which, it's been a few years). For some reason, the MPEG4 version created by iMovie HD6 is not compatible with the Zen player.
    Does anyone have any ideas of how to export from iMovie HD 6 in a format that can be used by the Creative Zen Vision M?
    Thanks.

    >Hi,
    Sorry about your ZEN Vision:M. From what you mentioned, I don't think the data is recoverable under normal means. You probably might want to take it to a technician? or someone who is familar with electronics to see if they can remove the harddisk from the ZEN Vision:M and recover the data.
