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 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.

    That sounds like an electrical or electomechanical problem with the player. Since the Zen Vision has been long since discontinued, you probably can't get Creative to repair it, but you might want to seek out some of the third party repair businesses that might be able to restore it to original functionality.

  • Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging

    (Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging( Hi, I recently bought a refurbished ZVM that doesnt seem to charging properly. When I first got it, it hadnt been charged in quite some time so the battery was overdead. My PC couldnt detect it when I connected it via usb and it didnt even start charging at all. I then connected it to a wall charger and it finally started charging. The strange thing is it never fully charges. I've charged it twice now, both times for at least about 2 hours, and the battery doesnt go more than 50%. And when I connect it to my PC to transfer songs, instead of resuming its charge, my battery runs out. Is this a case of a faulty battery? I li've in Australia and I bought it from the USA. I would prefer not to go through the trouble of returning it if I could. Anything I should do like leaving it to charge for an even longer time? Also one more thing I should mention. When I remove the wall charger and plug it back in, it takes the ZVM sometime to detect it, about 30 minutes or so, and start charging again. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. I just mailed mine in for repair today.

  • Creative Zen Vision M question!

    Creative Zen Vision M question!?Hey guys, I'm not from US but I hope you will understand my english anyway .
    So here's my question:
    Is there any legal way to get one of "creative zen vison m" players? I prefer new products... 60gb would be awesome..
    Since Im fed up with Apple and got already n Touch i simply want a player with a good capacity and just to listen to music... and i pretty much liked the creative zen vision m player... more than any new product from creative... all of em are more like multimedia and not "classy"....
    Furthermore I just find the product over google at customers site... if i browse all mp3players from creative I cant find the product i want.... It would be awesome if anyone knows a way to get a new one of these... and it would be kickass if it could get delieverd to EU/Austria
    At the end, thx for all the upcoming posts n answers and a picture of the desired product:

    really? :/ I dont like ebay and would prefer a new product... is there no other solution? Like writing to the customers and make out a good price for em to get a new of zen vision m?
    Otherwise, i know it doesnt fit here, but does any knows an "classy" player with about 30-60gig... like ipod classic, just for music n maybe photos... I dont need any multimedia .. got touch already...
    If anyone knows a good one which looks nice post here, would be awesome

  • 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.

    My PC doesn't recognice my Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB, it used to show my mp3 player as connected before, but since last week neither my PC nor the Creative Media Explorer can't connect to the player.

    My SO is XP SP3.
    I already have installed the Creative Media Source.
    I couldn't get into "reboot mode" on my mp3 player 'cause it has run out of battery.
    Thanks in advance.

  • What type of hard drive do I need for a Creative Zen Vision

    Hey everybody.
    I have a Creative Zen Vision:M, and unfortunately after dropping it, the hard drive has decided to pack up!
    I have decied to replace the hard dri've, but wondered which hard dri'ves are compatible with the Zen Vision:M? I know the hard drive is a .8" drive, but that's all I know what to look for so far...
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    It uses a standard 2.5" HDD. You can find them around in any good computer shop. You can use larger (capacity) as well. If you wish to find exactly the same one please try:
    (a) Open Device Manager,
    (b) Expand Disk drives item
    You can see brand and model of the current HDD on your computer. If it failed already, pull it out and check.
    Regards.

  • Creative Zen Vision:M - awful or no sound at

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my Creative Zen Vision:M. The player has been running extremely slow for about 2 months and it was bought in January 2006. The player crashes when I play an mp3 file. The FM radio works just fine. I hear a lot of noise or the sound is choppy. I have tried formatting the player and update the firmware, but the problem still persists.
    Could somebody please help me out with my issue? And also, if somebody has a link to an older firmware release, please provide one just to check if it is from the firmware.
    Thank you in advance!
    Regards,
    PavelMessage Edited by LittleGrave on 09-04-200706:8 PM

    Sounds like a hard-dri've problem - I'd try formatting the hard-dri've, if that doesn't help then I think you may need to return it to Creative to get it repaired. Sorry i can't be more positi've!

  • Creative Zen Vision:M Problen, PLEASE HELP

    I have had my Creative Zen Vision:M for a little over a year now. I has remained my favorite MP3 player by far in comparision to the rest of the competition. The problem I am having is that recently I went to transfer some music onto it after I hadn't done it in a while. I opened up the Creative Zen Vision:M Explorer, and to my dismay it said that the player was not connected. I have tried multiple reconnections with the wire, startup/shutdown many times even uninstalled and reinstalled the software but it always remains having the transfer files etc options faded out regardless of the player being connected or not. The Device manager has it listed without the yellow exclamation point so I know it is recognized by the computer but I am at a total loss for what to do now. Also, I have tried system restore to a time where it was working properly but to no avail it's the same thing. Any advice will be appreciated.

    well im not really scared. but it won't wpork anymore. like everytime i turn it off reset it or reboot it. it would just show the recovery mode and nothign else. that worries me ebcause i can't get it to work as normal agains. =[ so yea. maybe the filmwire thingy would work.

  • Creative Zen Vision M malfunctio

    I have a Creative Zen Vision M. I've had this mp3 player for 3 years with no problems. This afternoon I was trying to transfer music from my laptop onto my Zen. I got an error message. It says "Access denied". This happens whether I try to transfer music from my laptop and/or when I want to rip music from various CDs to put on my Zen. I upgraded my Zen to the latest firmware version .62.2. After my Zen upgraded, all of my music files, video files and photos were gone. When I go to System Information, it shows that I have 23 videos on the Zen but when I go to Videos, nothing comes up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Creative Zen Vision M program through the installation CD. While it was reinstalling, I got the following message: "DoInstall fails to launch D:PDE\Explorer\SETUP. INX. DoInstall return error code is -2472332."
    When I now go to open the program, nothing comes up. Its like my computer doesn't recognize the player. I want my music files, video files, and photos back. I also want to be able to transfer audio and video files. Can I downgrade to the older firmware version .40. to get my files back?

    really? :/ I dont like ebay and would prefer a new product... is there no other solution? Like writing to the customers and make out a good price for em to get a new of zen vision m?
    Otherwise, i know it doesnt fit here, but does any knows an "classy" player with about 30-60gig... like ipod classic, just for music n maybe photos... I dont need any multimedia .. got touch already...
    If anyone knows a good one which looks nice post here, would be awesome

  • Creative Zen Vision: M, Firmware 1.40.02 and screen backlight not blank

    Is there a bug in the .40.02 firmware?
    I just bought a Creative Zen Vision: M yesterday.
    I noticed that with the out of the box firmware (.30.02), the LCD screen backlight would turn off to conserve battery power.
    Later in the day, I upgraded to the .40.02 firmware posted May 24, 2006. Now my LCD screen backlight stays lit all the time.
    Since the player is so new, I wonder if I'm imagining things.
    Can someone with .30.02 or earlier firmware confirm that their screen backlight turns off after some period of time turning the screen dark?
    Can someone reproduce the problem with the .40.02 firmware that the screen backlight stays lit, no matter how long since the last button press?
    If I'm not imagining things, this would seem to dramatically affect the playtime on a full charge.
    Thanks.

    This is INDEED a problem.
    The screen is? SUPPOSED to blank all by itself , NOT only with the lock button engaged. I have this exact problem and returned one player only to see the same thing with the next. I also have the .40.02 firmware !!! Creative support said to upgrade my firmware to .6.xx? and see what happens. If the screen doesn't blank by itself without the lock button,? they are sending me another player !

  • Tiger and creative zen vision

    hi. i live in the us but i am currently visiting in paris, france. i brought my g3 ibook (new to me) and my creative zen vision with me but no software to transfer music from the zen to the mac. that is what i need to do now to continue with some video projects i'm working on. i've tried to use itunes, real player, and nowhere in the software do i get any indication that my zen is plugged in. i've gone into itunes and authorized this computer... that's the most "advanced" thing i've gone. when i plug the zen into the mac, the zen does turn on but there is no icon. i've searched all over the forums for hours now and can't figure out what to do next. thanks for any help. ~laura

    Hello laura
    Creative don't supply drivers for Macs, only windows, but there is third party driver support for Macs from XNJB

  • Some questions about creative zen vision m?????????????

    hi, i just have a few questions about the creative zen vision m
    ) what transmitter should i by if i want to listen to my music through the radio?
    2)can the creative zen vision m play music videos and home videos?
    3)can anyone suggest any completey safe music stores i can use to get my music.(last time i downloded a music place to get my music from called share it almost destoyed my comp.
    4) if not would i be able to burn my songs from itunes and use the c.d. to put them on my creative?
    thank you so much i'v looked all over the internet and i could't hide any answers.

    . There are MANY transmitters out there. I recommend searching back for past threads with recommendations.
    2. Yes, if they are in a suitable format.
    3. I already gave you a link in a previous question to a thread all about this. Please don't post duplicate questions.
    4. With iTunes you either need to burn the tracks to a CDRW, then convert to MP3/WMA, or use a program like JHymn to convert (Google JHymn).

  • Creative Zen Vision M doesnt st

    Hi, My creative zen vision M does not start. when the power button is pressed and held for a few seconds the blue light just keeps blinking. i've charged the player for over 4 hours yet it doesnt start. while charging, the blue light keeps blinking. I've tried resetting the player but this didnt help either. Does anyone have suggestions? I was told by Creative's customer support to do a cleanup or format but the player doesnt start at all. Could it be some kinda hardware problem?
    I would like to locate a service centre in Mumbai, India so that I can have the player checked.
    Regards, Amlan

    I don't know if it's appropriate, but I've had really good success repairing these units, 6 out of 8 working so far.
    Shoot me an email to [email protected] if any of you want me to look at it. No charge if I can't repair it other than return shipping costs, or I might buy the unit off you if you don't want it back at standard eBay pricing for as is units.
    I do this more for fun than for profit, and want to help.
    Cheers!
