Got a Vision M, do I need to delete my zen touch softw

Hi,
I just brought a vision M. I still have my zen touch, and want to keep it.
To install the new software do I need to delete the old software, or will it just install on top (without deleting my old music)

The battery won't be effected if you don't let it run down to be dead. Honestly it charges faster on the USB cable if the device is on and plugged in. So if it has charged enough to turn on, I would turn it on and plug it in so its recognized by windows and it will charge faster. Just don't let the battery run down, as the limitation with USB charging devices is that they get much less current to charge on if windows can't recognize it.
So if you run the battery down to close to dead, it will take you that much longer to recharge so its best to keep the units mostly charged.

  • Need help with my Zen Touch. I have no clue what's wro

    I downloaded some firmware a few weeks ago, and ever since then my Zen Touch hasn't been working properly. My current is version .0.03. As soon as I downloaded that my computer would not detect the player. When I plugged it in the USB I got three quick low pitched beeps, and then nothing. Since the player isn't connectng to my computer of course I can't transfer any music. I've tried to get it to connect a million times but it's always the same. I evn tried it on another computer so I'm guessing something's wrong with the player itself.
    Can anyone hel me please?Message Edited by Shart780 on 02-4-2006 08:09 AM

    because they are needed to detect your player, that is!
    just try it out, you'll do no harm by doing so

  • Help needed urgently! creative zen touch 40gb forgets that songs ex

    I have had my player for 6 months with no problem but yesterday it forgot 2000 songs existed. It still displayed the artist name but everytime i clicked on them it came up with "add music from libary press menu button" However on the other artists (keep in mind i have 7000 songs) it is fine. But It has forgot around 2000 songs.
    Then i thought i would try to upload the songs again. This is when i discovered once my player is docked it only displays 2 songs by each artist which is rubbish because in some cases i have 80 songs by a certain artist. So i have no idea why it displays 2 songs.
    I then noticed a unknown folder which has files in it such as ??23323d?. These "tracks" have blue logos next to them on the left hand side. I have no idea what they are but it will not let me delete them. It also will not let me add any more tracks and everytime i unplug the usb it crashes. It also takes about a minute to turn on now instead of the couple of seconds it took before. And pauses and crashes accure quite often now.
    It's probably a long shot but is there anything i can do? All help either big or small will be appreacited. And if you need more detail just ask me.
    Thanks mike x

    Mike,
    Probably you can try running Cleanup option from the player Rescue mode.

  • Help!! Need to reload my Zen Touch Pla

    I tried to upgrade my player and it told me that it upgraded successfuly and when my player restarted it now tells me that there is firmware problem and the recovery mode comes up.
    Creative Zen Touch v0.0.0
    . Cleanup
    2. Format All
    3. Reload Firmware
    4. Reboot
    I have formated the player and attemped to reload the firmware, it asks to me to erase the current firmware and reload via usb cable. Then tells me to start firmware update now. I have downloaded the ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0 firmware file and all it tells me that my device is not connected. I hear that the usb connection is acti've and windows asks me what to do with the device, and it shows up in My Computer.
    My player is only about 6 months old.
    My computer system is Windows XP Media Center 2005
    Pentium D 2.8GHz
    024MB RAM
    Intel chipset
    Any help would be appriceated

    Try attaching the AC charger to your Touch and then plug it into the USB port - this has been known to get the computer to recognise the player and then you can re-install the firmware.?With regards to the pointless and unhelpful comments that have been posted on this thread (and elsewhere on the forum), what's the point? Of course there will be people wth poroblems here - that's what the forum exists for! All major electrical companies have units with faults, not just Creative (try googling Apple and see the 6 million websites dedicated to iPod problems!!!!). You fail to mention the thousands, if not millions of people using their Creative products with no problems. The opinions of one disgruntled customer is unlikely to deter informed people of making a decision to puchase from Creative. True, you have a right to your opinions and to express them, I'm just not sure this is the right place. This forum is intended to help people. Contact Creative directly if you to?have an issue, and get out of the way of those on this forum who are trying to HELP people.

All the songs who?s info (track, genre, album, etc.) I updated or changed went back to having the same info that it had prior to me changing it.

    Sounds like it was running a disk cleanup. The tag data is obviously held within the files, and the Music Library on the player is built from this. If you change this data on the player directly it only affects the Music Library, it isn't written back to the file (and what you've described clearly demonstrates this, which is of interest). Bottom line is, always check your file tag data is correct *before* downloading to the PC.
    <SPAN>-<SPAN> If I let the battery completely die before I get a chance to recharge it, will I loose any music?
    No. It's not good to leave a Lithium Ion battery discharged for a couple of weeks or more, so make sure to recharge it at the earliest opportunity. More battery advice in my Nomad Primer.
    <SPAN>-<SPAN> If I use the reset feature on my Zen Touch will that cause me to loose any data?
    No, only your settings.
    I know that Im asking a lot of questions. Sorry about that.<SPAN> Thanks in advance for any help?

  • Zen Touch Firmware v0.0.8 Anyone? Having Problem in recovery mode and need to reload firmware

    As stated in subject, i need a firmware for Zen Touch, for version v0.0.8... I know the firmware is old, but i'm STUCK in the recovery mode after the player hung... I didn't back my music up yet, so, anyone here can help me with this problem? Or is it any other firmware available that is suitable to be reloaded too? Help~~
    Thanx,

    Not sure if this is addressed at me, but you can never guarantee 00% that a firmware upgrade will work. You should always keep a backup of important files on your player, which is common sense.

  • The old Zen touch into zen vision w tr

    I'm sure this has been posted years ago, but is there any way to put the music from the zen touch back into your computer or into the zen vision w. Or is it that the zen touch really sucks because its encrypted?

    Encrypted? Definitely not. I am able to transfer files between my Touch and my computer without a problem. Are the files you are trying to transfer from an online store? or are they from CDs that you have ripped?Eric

  • Crawling text looks messy on the DVD, almost like I've got double-vision...

    Hi, I just finished a Showreel of all my work, put together in Final Cut Pro.
    I exported it as a Quicktime movie and then used Toast 6 Titanium to burn it onto DVD using the 'High Quality' option.
    The footage has come out fine but one thing concerning me is some crawling text I have going across the bottom of the screen; when I read it, it's like I've got double-vision, it just looks messy and not very sharp at all.
    Why has this happened and how do I resolve it?
    I'm sending this Showreel out to potential employers and something like this won't look very professional.
    Thanks for any help,
    Alex Wilding

    I'm not sure how to correctly describe the "creepy" effect that results from vertically animating the text generators in FCP, but they seem to always be there. There are also compression artifacts that add to this that result from the DV compression, if that is the codec you are using.
    One way I solve the first issue is to create my credit rolls in photoshop as a very tall layer, and animate that in FCP. It's a little more tedious, but the results are much better.
    If I need to work in DV, and experience DV compression artifacts, I will create my credit roll in an uncompressed sequence and export to a self-contained movie to re-import to my DV sequence. FCP seems to do better at rendering uncompressed video to DV than it does at rendering the composite of your text and background directly to DV.
    hope this helps

  • DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

    As far as I know they can't be deleted, just remove any personal info from it (credit card details etc) and stop using it.
    If you downloaded any content via it then you will need to remember it and it's password, as content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so if you move to a new computer you'll need to authorise the account on it if you want to use any of its content there (or if you bought apps with it you'll only be able to download updates to them via that account)

    I got the 1st iPad but it needs iOS on it I don't know how to go about getting it can someone help me

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.
