Creative Zen X-FI 2 rebuilding and start up problems!

I finally upgraded and got a new Zen X-FI 2 64gb player and so far it seems to be a nice player. But there are two significant problems that are making me really miss my Vision W and making me consider returning my player.
The first problem occurs when ever I sync or charge my mp3 player on my computer. Whenever I'm done charging or syncing my player and disconnect it from my computer, it takes a long time to rebuild and it rebuilds multiple times before the player finally starts up. Also, I not sure if my player is suppose to rebuild oppose to just updating the library like the way the Vision W did.
Second problem occurs when I actually shut down my player. It also takes a significantly long time to turn on to the point where I am considering of never turning my player off which is not convenient when it comes to trying to save battery power.
So please tell me if this is normal for a Zen X-FI 2 64gb player and if not, is there any way to fix these problems? By the way I have the latest firmware.
Thanks!

Hi,
The player is supposed to rebuild, but not multiple times in a row, and it shouldn't take very long. I've read about others who were having the same problem, and they solved it by formatting the player. You might want to try that, but first make sure to backup all your music that's on it! You can format it from the Recovery Mode.

  • Creative Zen 8gb stuck in 'rebuilding' scr

    Whenever I turn on my sister's creative zen it goes straight to the 'rebuilding screen'. The bar moves up about a fifth of the way then freezes.
    I have tried every bit of advice I could find, i.e. i've gone into recovery mode, done the scan disk, format, and reload firmware, all to no avail.
    I downloaded the latest firmware (ZEN_PCFW_L22__2_0e) and tried to upgrade the player to this via recovery mode, but i keep getting 'upgrade failed'.
    The only way I can even get my computer to even recognise the player is by going into recover mode.
    I'm sunning Vista...the player was working fine for a few months and this happened out of the blue, according to her.
    Is there anything else I can try or is this a hardware issue?
    Please help!!!!

    Yes, about a million times at this stage. When it gets stuck on the rebuilding screen I have no other way of turning it off than to reset it.Message Edited by BleakestH on 09-07-2008 04:05 AM

  • Creative Zen 8 gb - no drag and dr

    Hi there,
    I just received my new Creative Zen and it took only 2 minutes until I almost decided to send it back. I plugged it in with the longest usb cable I've ever seen, opened the explorer - and didn't find the Zen.
    A window opened that wanted to know which action to perform. But neither the Media Player nor winamp support work. Anyway, I do not even want that. I just want to drag and drop my files in Windows Explorer. Every 5 ? player supports that!
    Windows XP, SP2
    software: .2.0e
    any help

    Hell yes, it works. Forget that WMP piece of **bleep**! I had to uninstall it AND install this fix:
    http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...-v.0-WinXP.exe
    This enables to use the Zen as a mass storage device. But I currently doubt that many people have that installed. Am I really expecting too much? Is it really that difficult for creative to make the Zen work at a ''normal'' PC?
    the integration of SD Card music is even worse...
    The device goes back tomorrow. I do not support something like that. Never again creative...

  • Creative Zen 8gb won't respond and just flashes blue li

    Hi,
    My 8gb creative zen mp3 player won't turn on and is not responsi've at all. The only response I get is when I plug it into the computer, where a faint blinking blue light flashes near the power button. However, even this blue light stops flashing after a period of time. I've tried resetting the mp3 player, and I've left it plugged to the computer to recharge if that was the problem, but still nothing.
    Computer does not detect a playing device either.
    Any help would be great!

    My Creative zen 4gb can only be turned on when I connect it first to the computer, and after that, I can turn it on without the use of a computer. But if I don't use for a few hours, it won't turn on again, and I have to connect it to the computer again. Even if battery is full, I get the same problem. ?I've also used the recovery tool. Still same problem. Any idea how I can fix this?

  • Creative Zen Micro - Freezes when 'Rebuilding Library', does this spontaneous

    I'll make this post short and sweet.
    Yes, I have read the FAQ.
    I'm just wondering, its happened to me twice now that when i turn on my zen micro, it goes straight to the rebuilding library screen, and when the bar gets to the end it just freezes. Replacing the battery does not help. Only until i attach it to my computer at home does the library finish rebuilding. And no, on both occasions the battery was not dead. I just found out now about recovery mode and disk cleanup.
    Now, considering this disk cleanup fixes the problem next time it arrises, why is this problem happening in the first place? How can I avoid it from happening?
    I'll probably be returning this product if I'm forced to replace the battery etc each time i want to use it.
    Sorry for my broken english

    I have had a very similar problem with my 5GB Zen Micro. I have not added music to the player in weeks but during a cold boot a couple of times a week the player will not start clean, many times hanging at the end of a library rebuild.
    The player is always shutdown orderly, though most of the time it's via the 4 hour firmware shutdown included in the ..0 firmware. Each time it hangs I boot to rescue mode, run a clean-up, then reboot. During the reboot it always runs a successful rebuild, so I wonder, why didn't it do that last time and why does it keep acting up when nothing has been added or deleted to the player?
    One additional note, sometimes during the boot it will hang with the ZEN screen only partially displayed.
    I just deleted the firmware and reloaded ..0. Hopefully this fixes it, but stay tuned for updates...
    Thanks,Doug

  • Creative Zen MicroPhoto, i think i have a unique problem

    My 8gig player froze the other day, i couldnt turn it off so i restarted it. When i turned it back on most of the songs were gone, the music library looked similar to the way it had about a week or two after i got it. Also everytime i turn it on now it says "Rebuilding Music Library" and takes a good amount of time to start up. I can still play music but insted of the artist name, album and song name, the player says "select music to play". I have not tried to put back on the music that got deleted yet becuase i would like to try to get this fixed first. Has this happend to anyone else before? Or does anyone know what went wrong?

    ?How long does the battery last? Can you overcharge the battery? If you know either of these answers please respond. I have my entire music library on my Zen Micro Photo and am unable to access it because it will not "turn on".
    I have been running it on the charger for the past two weeks and wonder if I destroyed the battery.

  • Creative Zen Nano Plus BLUE (1gb FM tuner) Connect Problems Model DAP-FL0

    We purchased two identical Zen Nano MP3 players for xmas and now one will not be recognized when it is connected to the usb port. The sound it makes is a double sound but the dri've does not appear in explorer. If I connect the other one to the same port and cable it works fine. Thanks in advance!

    Try updating the firmware on the player, but if one works fine on the same port, and the other doesn't, it's possible that player is faulty.

    It goes on and on... more of this type of thing.
    It suggested I back up as much as I could and reformat my computer!! Lucky I had bootcamp, so I just reinstalled Mac OS over windows.
    Is there anything I can do to save my files? It wont allow me to click on Repair Disk Permissions.
    When running Verify Disk, it says I need to repair it, so I click on repair disk and I get "disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk and restore your backed-up files!!
    Now I do have an external drive, if I copied all my music, photos, docs etc to my external drive, that maybe the only way to recover everything? Or is there another way? Please help.

    I have tried from the OS installer disk running the repair disk and I get the same error about not being able to do it, and i need to back everything up and re format the drive.
    I'm having problems starting in safe mode. I hold down the shift key, and then then little spinning cog comes up, and below it the bar shows safe mode is starting, but then it disappears and just stays on the spinning thing.
    This is where the problems first started, was stuck on that.
    Not sure what else to try

  • Nokia Lumia 800. Battery and start up problems

    Hi there,
    I have been having quite a lot of problems with my nokia lumia 800.
    Firstly: When the battery dies it takes a long time to get it charged back up. I have tried cycling the charger power between the laptop and power outlet. I have to play around with the power supply for a long time before the unit actually starts charging. And even then when it has just enough charge, it tries to start up but seems to run out of power half way through the start up and I end up back playing with the charging again.
    It seems that there is no battery protection in the phone and the battery can completely discharge. Which would account for the problem with getting it to charge back up.
    Secondly: Yesterday the phone went dead for no reason. It had about a quarter charge in the battery. I tried to turn it back on but nothing. I tried charging it and nothing.
    Again after cycling the power many times between the power outlet and the laptop, I got some response. It vibrated and displayed the low battery screen. So I thought ok, it's charging. But no.
    Once it has enough battery it tries to start up and then freezes on the provider logo and does not go any further. The screen stays like this. Illuminated and with the logo.
    I have tried reseting the unit by holding the power button down for 10seconds and it vibrates and tries to start up again. But again freezes.
    I have noticed that when I leave it charging, the unit gets quite warm. But no matter what I do the startup proceedure stops on the provider logo and no more.
    I tried starting it with the charger connected and it just seems to be powering the screen because when I unplug it the unit goes dead again within a matter of minutes.
    I am at a total loss as to what happened to my phone.
    Can someone help please?

    From the sound of it I think it needs a Nokia Care Point. Could be faulty battery or faulty charging.  You can locate your nearest care point using the link below

  • Macbook pro freezing and start up problems

    Hi, I have a 2011 model macbook pro that has recently started freezing without an apparent reason. When it freezes I can still move the mouse around but everything I click is unresponsive, and remains so untill I force it to reboot.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

  • Overheating macbook pro and start up problems

    Hi
    I have a 2007 macbook pro that had system 10.4 on.
    I did a system update on it to 10.6.8.
    Now It wont work at all - I cant even get past the spinning wheel at start-up!
    Also before I did this it was getting very hot quite quickly.
    Ive done some research and I think it may have a faulty logic board also.
    Basically I just need to know if the mac can be rescued or if its time to sell for spares!
    Thanks
    Gareth

    Is your 2007 MacBook Pro a Unibody? (I keep forgetting when the Unibody form factor was released)
    If not, remove the battery and try to reboot without it: this will downclock the processors (I know I'm technically cutting corners here, but it has the same effect as downclocking the processors), and help keep your Mac's working temperature at a manageable level.
    If you've got 10 USD to spare, install CoolBook on your machine; it'll undervolt your logic board, thus making it disperse less heat.
    Of course, if your logic board is already toast...
    I were you, I'd zero the hard drive after backing up my personal data (try booting in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key until you get the grey Apple backdrop and the progress bar), then reinstall Snow Leopard as clean install, with the battery removed (provided you can actually remove it, of course). Worked for me the last time I had to reinstall on a prone-to-overheating 2006 MacBook Pro.

  • Creative Zen Mozaic EZ100 stuck on 'rebuilding' screen

    Hi,
    I bought my Creative Zen Mozaic EZ00 in February and yesterday, after adding files to it and disconnecting the usb, it went onto the 'rebuilding' screen and became stuck there. I reset it and when I turned it back on, it stuck on the same screen once again. I have tried accessing the recovery menu, but it won't appear.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    LK

    :Mine does this sometimes. i tried to recovery mode-nothing worked. tried firmware-nothing. so i deleted everything on my ZEN Mozaic and unplugged and waited for it to load up and then i plugged it on the USB and aded my music and took it off and it worked. but i hate to do this everytime.

  • Zen 8G This device cannot start code 10 and firmware update problem

    I have read the threads in the forums on the same problem that I am having. It seems that there are few solutions for this and the ones that have been posted I have tried. Basically the problem is this, I made the silly mistake of trying to update the firmware on my Zen 8G since it was listed as a critical update. I downloaded the firmware but it failed and took me to the recovery screen. Instead of working with this, again silly me, I tried to use the Creative recovery tool. This downloaded the firmwary and started rebooting the player. At this point it just hung. I left it on for about 3 hours and nothing happened and it wouldn't turn off so I hit the reset button on the player. Now when I connect it to the computer it recognizes it as a creative zen but if I try to download the firmware the software says the player is not connected when it is. When I check the device driver, even though it shows it as a creative zen it says "This device cannot start code 0"? I have the latest Microsoft device driver loaded and it still doesn't work.
    I have tried this on two different computers, one using XP and the other using Vista. I get the same problem with each. It appears to me that the problem is not really with the device driver but somehow with the firmware. However, I am not an expert at this stuff.
    If anyone could please help I would appreciate it. This was a gift for my wife for the Christmas of 2007 so it is just out of warranty and the service people won't help.

    GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
    . While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
    2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
    3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
    Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.
