Current issues with zen vision m softw

feel free to add to this message. all issues current as of -30-07 if i have added these in some error or you know the solution, not a workaround, i'd be delighted to be wrong.
there is a security issue wherein there is a critical error when you plug in the player
search function will cause a system wide lock up
when converting videos, if you check the box to have them automatically sent to your player, it will be sent to an inaccessible root directory
when syncing with windows media player , your music files will be renamed and sent to a directory inconsistent with all other files, however, it will be accessible on player
use of creative media explorer will cause a system wide security error and then a system lockup, or simply fail to function at all
when renaming files individually, files will be reorganized upon finishing a single file, making it difficult to renavigate to all other files of similar artist or genre
there is currently no convenient way to play your music while connected to pc, you must select all tracks you plan to play and drag them into now playing. this has a limited selection set, so constant play cannot be executed in one drag
there is currently no copy/paste support
there is no explorer support within the player itself, any movement of files must be moved to computer, deleted, moved from computer, deleted from computer.
album art is not visible within creative organizer, nor can it be manipulated from this program, but the folder is still in the explorer tree
pictures can not be viewed from creative organizer, only their file name
there is currently no support to manually enter a new contact or task
there is currently no support to edit all aspects of a file at once, only one field can be edited before it is again reorganized
clicking the music subtree on media organizer can take between 0-25 seconds before it displays, when it doesn't permanently lockup

i used to use Creative media source 3 for transfering stuff to and from my Zen xtra, ripping music CDs to mp3 and managing playlists.
as for the updated Media source5, i now use windows media player for all the music related stuff, and drag and drop for all pictures and video.

I have the same problem. It all started yesterday when I was installing the cd drivers in my new computer. I have searched numerous forums and some people had to return the product. Please admins help on this issue as I understand it is very serious.

Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

)Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

Two problems with Zen Vision: M

Hi all. I'll give my player's specs before describing the problem(s):Zen Vision: M 30 GBVersion .40.02 Anyway, I've had my Zen for about 4 months now, and up until now, it's worked perfectly. Recently, for the first time, it froze on me. I figure it was because I was shuffling through songs on random too quickly, as I see other people have had this problem too. So I reset the player, but it only rebuilt halfway; on the "Rebuilding" screen, the green line stops about halfway through. Now, whereas I once had about 2600 songs I'm down to a little over 000. I didn't think it was that big of a problem; I've either got all my songs backed up on my computer or CD. But when I connected the Zen to my computer, my computer couldn't read the device. Sort of, that is. My Zen can still charge through my computer and when I plug it into the computer, a message will pop up asking me what I'd like to do with the MP3 device. However, when I go to Zen Vision: M Series Media Explorer, I get the message "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen Vision: M Series to the computer." I went through the FAQ at the top of the message board and tried basically every solution outside of trying the Zen on another computer. I'm thinking it's a problem with the player, not my computer. It still acts erratically at times- like, if I leave it off for an extended amount of time and turn it on, it'll go into rebuilding mode. Other than that, though, it's fine. Could the hard dri've be corrupted Any help would be appreciated.

Video conversion issue for zen vision m 3

hi all im brand new to the forum. i seem to have 2 issues.firstly i cant find any free software to convert dvd to a file format supported by my zen vision m.anyone have any ideas?secondly (and this is the big one), i am really disappointed with the video feature of my vision.i had a zen micro before and thought it was fantastic.software was great, menu system was great.so when it was time to upgrade there was no question it was going to be a creative again.but when it comes to the supposedly supported video file formats i feel i've been duped.if i use the video converter in the software (for avi from my camera to wmv)?it tells me theres no audio.it wont work with mp4 files at all.that just freezes my zen.why do they claim it supports mp4 when it doesnt ?has anyone got this problem too?i have the latest firmware upgrade so it cant be that. thanks folks

I use AVS Video Converter from http://www.avsmedia.com/. I think it costs about $30 if I remember right. It converts practically?everything that isn't protected. They even have presets for the Zen Vision, although not for the Vision:M or Vision:W. However, it lets you easily make your own presets. The program is fast and very easy to use once you learn it. However, there is a bit of a learning curve. It has a good, simple interface but they don't hold your hand. The help is also very good. I've been using it for about 2 years and I'm glad I have it. By the way, I'm a customer of theirs and I don't get anything out of posting this. Barry?

Current issues with my Nokia Lumia 1520

Hi all,
I just wanted to list the current issues that I am having with my Nokia Lumia 1520:
- Phone freezing and restarting on double tap
- Click on scroll
- 256 color when unlocking the phone (need to turn off the screen to resolve it)
Do you think I should send it for repair or do you all have those issues?
Thanks!

I did a hard reset many times, but it fix the other bugs than click on scroll.
I updated to GDR1 and it helps to have folders for the click on scroll issue.
Had only 1click on scroll so far...

Help With Zen Vision:M 30G, lost alot of music, "rebuilding" progress bar doesnt fin

I purchased my Zen Vision:M 30GB player about 5 months ago and its been great untill today I turned it on and it froze, so i hit the reset button.
Heres the thingI reset it and that "Rebuilding" progress bar poped up like it has in the past when i hit reset?But this time the progress bar only got about? /6th of the way full, before the unit returned to its normal menu, and i went to look at my music and about 90% of it is gone! Ive done a restart in the past and the rebuilding progress bar would have to fill up all the way before it would go to the normal menu and i had no problems with it then, just today it started doing the thing where it would only go /6th the way. Heres the weird stuff,I went to look at the system information to look how much memory was left and based on the numbers, my 90% of missing music should still be on there somewhere. I tried connecting it to my computer and all the sudden now my computer decides to recognize it but The Creative Media Explorer will say its not connected, that is a first for me too?I tried doing that system recovery thing, where i did the scan disk but that did not help at all. Everytime i try to re-boot or re-start it does that thing where the "Rebuilding" progress bar only goes /6th of the way before it goes back to the normal menu, i think that has somthing to do with it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated?Message Edited by Lowalkoroc on 03-7-20070:20 PM

I was just about to post a topic about this. I had the same problem and after numerous efforts I decided to follow the "Format (All)" instructions [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=5530#M5530">here[/url]. After a reformat, a reboot, and a reload of all my songs everything is working again. Thank the Lord and the Creative forums.

Exporting song lists to Excel, etc. with Zen Vision:M 3

Hello-
Is there any way to export my songs from the Zen to Excel (or any other similar program)? I have researched previous requests, and all pointed to the previous version of Creative Media Explorer, along with a 3rd party program called Notmad. Unfortunately, Notmad will not work, as it does not support the Zen Vision (though it does support the non-vision Zen series). Please note I did download it and attempted to use it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Steve C

Never mind, I found a very easy method:
1. Download Media Monkey, FREE at www.mediamonkey.com
2. Media Monkey will find the Zen. Select the Zen so the songs appear.
3. Go to File:Reports, and choose export as Excel.
4. Choose the location, and there you go!!!

Looks like you might have to return it if it isn't responding to charging and the reset option. Is it under the 30 days return policy?
OR you could have an RMA so that Creative fixes it and then returns it to you. Here is most of the info:

Nexxtech USB Wall Charger compatible with Zen Vision

I was wondering if the?Nexxtech USB Wall Charger (http://http://www.circuitcity.com/ss...oductDetail.do) would work with the Zen Vision M. I'm going on a trip this week and need a cheap wall charger (less than $20)?that I can go to the store and get it (no online orders). Thanks,
Drake

hey thanks for the fast reply!
that sounds good. one more qs:
is there a cable available that allows to sync & charge directly from player to usb without using the little dongle attachment thingy. I find it ridiculous that Creative went with a propriety connection! I don't fancy lugging that around everywhere...

Sync a network folder/drive with zen vision

Please help! The sync software that comes with my vision M doesn't let me sync to a network folder. That's where I keep all of my music. When I point to that folder, it keeps telling me that it's not a valid folder. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Are you trying to sync to a network path \\somecomputer\cdri've or are you trying to do it to a mapped dri've letter? All my music is on a Simpletech NAS dri've on my network and have a dri've letter mapped to it and it works fine in media organizer, wmp and the creative sync handler thing.

Will Zen Micro Charger work with Zen Vision

Hi,
I'm wondering if the charger (AC Charger that is)i use to charge my Zen Micro 5GB will charge my Zen Vision:M ?
The Voltage is the same - 5Volts
Any suggestions?

The USB charger does fit the USB Adapter bit on the Vision:M.
Are they different polarities or something?
I would have plugged it in(connected to the mains) If i wasn't in fear of breaking my 2 day old Vision.

Help with Zen Vision M 30GB. Won't turn on. Blinking lig

I have a Zen Vision M 30 GB mp3 player that i've had for about 4 months. it has been making realy loud scratching noises for about 3 months and usually loads pretty slows. which is wierd cause i only have about 2,000 songs on there and a couple of videos and pictures.
Today when i tried to charge it and transfer music to my new comp it wouldn't recognize it. When i disconnected my zen from my computer i tried to turn it on and nothing happend. when i hold the switch to the side, the little blue light blinks. I've sent a similar mp3 player back to creative because of a cracked screen and it took a month to get it back. any advice on what i should do to fix it's

I have had my zen vision m for nearly a year, and got the same problem as you just in the last week-it refused to turn on or show any sign of life...except the blue light flickers now and then when I decide to try AGAIN to see if it ll turn on this time. I came on this forum,? charged it from loads of different usb ports, looked at the knowledge base, downloaded and tried to run the firmware, even pushed the reset button...tried eveything that was suggested basically, but still nothing. So I called a representati've...and they say nothing doing, so I have to put it in for RMA or a replacement now.....just hoping my warranty hasnt run out. Try all the things mentioned above, and if nothing works, call them up. Sorry!
