Someone help me with my Zen V P

I'm having problems with my zen it wont turn on and i tried already pushing the reset button. It seems like i've tried everything, but the screen wont even show up when i plug it into the computer. Is it broken or am i just not doing something?

You need to clarify some of your information. I had a Zen Micro and had no problems with it using Windows Media Player and the Creative Software.
When you say the Creative software doesn't recognize the Micro, are you relying solely on the Windows Pop-up asking you to select an option, or have you tried going to Windows Explorer and running the software from there (or from your all programs list) The message that pops up in windows is set once you make a selection and it's difficult to change, and it may ignoring the Zen Explorer arbitrarily - remember, you're dealing with Microsoft.
I understand the problem with trying to manually install the Creative software - they really don't give you enough information and it's difficult to sort out the files. However, they have made it much easier with their auto update. What I recommend is making sure all of the creative software is uninstalled, then just install it from your disk and then run the auto update. This way, you should have the correct files installed and the most recent firmware version. Hope this helps a little, if not please try to be little more specific if you post a reply.

How do i realise the most basic functionality with my zen tou

I've been playing around with my zen touch for a couple of hours now and I have to admit I'm impressed. The zen has certainly opened my eyes and challenged my previous foolish preconceptions about portable mp3 players which should be open platform, plug-and-play, straightforward and easy to use, because my experience thus far has not been any of these.
In an attempt to stop wasting any more my time I was just wondering if someone could quickly tell me how exactly do I manage the files which are already on my touch? A couple of things I would like to do:
. view and music files on my zen touch from some interface on my computer
2. copy music files from my zen touch back on to my computer
3. delete all music files without manually having to go through each and every album
Now I've probably made another crass assumption that it is infact possible to actually do this, but here's to hoping.
Now, the manual says I can use the creative mediasource organizer to transfer music to my touch. And indeed, Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 claims to be able to do just this (transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player using Sync Manager and SmartFit*). My question is... how? I've run the organizer, it looks like yet another music library management tool, great except for the whole part about that mp3 player stuff. Is there a hidden setting somewhere only available to stonemasons that will let me access my mp3 player?
I've also installed the Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0). Now, at least this works - in the same way a person in a coma can be said to li've. When I open the 'music library' I get an empty explorer window to I can click and drag mp3 files into it and it copies them over. So, I guess I have some functionality, although it would be kind of nice to have some feedback about what files I have on there.
Now as it's not april fools I'm not quite ready to accept that zen touch as the great big joke it appears to be, so if somebody could provide some insight I would really be grateful.
edit: forgot to mention, running .0.03 firmware, and the model number on the back is DAP-HD004. Upgrading to the 2. firmware is unfortunatley not an option at the moment.Message Edited by adante on 02-24-20060:7 PM

Mosey: thank you for the information. Just out of curiousity, was I just not paying attention and was this made known somewhere? Or do creative just expect you to potter around endlessly installing software in the hopes that you might randomly stumble across the right configuration?
Perhaps I am just crazy for assuming that if the latest firmware does not have a superseded message, it is still acti've and valid.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that the situation has been resolved mostly to my satisfaction. I was able to fob off my zen touch to some other sod, and actually make a profit from it, no less! This was quite a pleasant surprise because I usually dispose of fecal matter by flushing it down the toilet (but then, I don't have to pay for it either).
I have since purchased a noname mp3 player which, while having some pretty severe firmware, provides some great additional functionality which I have to admit I really like over the touch. Primarily, this was being able to copy mp3s to and from it* and hence use it as an mp3 player! I know this concept is a little radical, but I really think creative should look into it because it would really add some value to their current line of paperweights and doorsto
ps.
So thanks creative for that hilarious little experience. I have to admit, you guys certainly do manage to distinguish yourself from the field and push the limits of mp3 player technology. Where I used to think of a nai'vely spectrum of good to bad, I have since extended this from the good, to the bad, to the creative.
* This alone is a great feature I was never able to realise with my touch, and made even better by the fact I didn't have to install all sorts of half-baked software to achieve it!

Anyone tried to download the Dell DJ firmware to use with their Zen Tou

I've been reading on the boards that these two devices are quite similar, so I was wondering if anyone has tried downloading the PlaysForSure firmware for the Dell DJ and tried to use it on the Zen Touch?
I've been sitting on an un-opened Zen Touch (which I recieved for my birthday two months ago), trying to decide whether to trust that the firmware will be released and open it OR return it and purchase something that will work immediately with my Yahoo! Unlimited subscription. Anyone have any advice? I really do want to open it, but I don't want all the songs that I've downloaded via subscription to go to waste. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! HELP!

You can't use the Dell firmware on the Touch.

Help me with my Zen Xtra Jukebox!!!

i haven't listened to my mp3 player in about 6 months and when i turned it on, i found this firmware problem, when i took all the steps to fix it i realized i dont have the installation cd. is there any place where i can buy or download the installation cd? it wont let me finish adding the new firmware without it.
I have already deleted my old firmware like it said, so now when i turn it on it just goes to the rescue mode with the four options.
someone please help!?!?!?!

Woody56292,
If you go to www.nomadworld.com you can download the drivers and applications for the Zen xtra so that you can reload the firmware.

First, I assume you are talking about the Zen Nano Plus. Go to the top left of this page, where it says SEARCH and type in Zen Nano Plus. This subject has been covered frequently for the last few weeks. Lots of threads.

Help me with my Zen Microphoto.

Ok so here is the situation I ended up getting a Zen Microphoto for my birthday in November, and now I am having a lot of issues with it. . The battery won't charge... I figured that maybe it wasn't charging because the battery was full... well then I would look at the battery icon and it would say that it was almost empty...So I got really confused and I decided to ask my electronics major friend about it and he hooked up the battery to this machine that would say how much voltage a battery was getting, and when we hooked it up the battery said that it had 3.7 volts in it (the battery is a 3.7 volt battery) so that meant that the battery was fully charged, but the Mp3 player was saying that the battery was low and it even said that their was no battery left and it just turned off. and 2. It freezes a lot I don't know if it freezes because there is to much information and it is having difficulting sorting out all the data. I want to know if anybody has any ideas what to do... or maybe I should just return it and get a different one... Thanks for taking the time to read this and I could really use the help right now... so thank you to anyone that responds to this...

Hey, I have a black Zen MicroPhoto and i have already changed mine once. The first time i had it, it kept freezing up on me, tried everything in the recovery menu but didnt help. So the next day i took it back and changed the player and the battery and now I havn't had any problems with it. I would say to go back where you got it, tell them all the problems your having and ask to change the player with a new one.
Hope that hel

Please help me with my zen MX.

Hi Ive had my MX for almost a year now and havent had any problems with it till now. I tried to turn it on this morning and it kept freezeing so i tried to turn it off and nothing. I pressed the reset button and now it wont turn on or do anything it just gives a black screen please help me.

Hello Puritysin,
Welcome to Creative forums!
If you are using the USB cable for charging, just leave your player connected to your computer (make sure it is not on sleep/hybernate mode) for a couple of hours and try to power it on. If you have a wall charger, much better. Charge the player for about 3-4 hours and do a reset while connected. See if that hel

What's your setup with the Zen Tou

I've had my Zen Touch for a couple of months and so far so good - only two freezes and thats all.
I've been using WMP0 to organise my music and rip tracks from CD's, but have used Creative mediasource to transfer everthing over to the touch.
Big problem is that my library in WMP0, which is up to date and complete, is way ahead of my library in Mediasource. Before i added more music i made sure that media sniffer was enabled, and pointing towards my music folder. It picked up some artists that i added a few days ago, but anything within the last two days is yet to appear. About 0GB of CD ripped mp3's were added, so im wondering if its the volume of music which mediasource has to add in to its library which is the problem.
I eventually got this problem sorted, by creating a playlist in WMP0 of all tracks and loading it into the library in mediasource. (The import tracks function kept freezing in mediasource) This new playlist was imported into a new/clean library in mediasource.
Basically i have a pretty much updated lib in mediasource now, but i have some questions;
a) I could have sworn that i got the touch to appear in the sync part of WMP0, but everytime i plug the touch into the cable wmp0 freezes while trying to search for devices. I've tried a couple of different techniquees to get this to work;
. Load mediasource-> Plug in Touch (Loads lib)-> Load WMP0-> Searches but then freezes
2. Load WMP0-> Plug in Touch-> Searches but then freezes
3. Plug in touch first with no programs running-> Touch doesn't dock
I'm pretty sure i used the st technique before, which worked ok but doesn't seem to anymore.
b)Until i created a new library in mediasource, the program was duplicating entries of around a /4 of my entire music collection. I've always used WMP0 to rip tracks, rather than mediasource so im clueless to why these tracks became duplicated.
Thats about it, these problems are temporaly sorted for now - i have all my music on the touch, but after hours of battling with WMP0 and mediasource in particular. Hopefully with new firmware i can stick to WMP0, but im curious to how other zen touch users connect, organise and transfer their music libraries.

funkymojo44 wrote:Sounds simple; i take it the mp3 gain analyses and corrects the volume of each mp3. I never realised that Realplayer could work with the touch, i take it that it recognises the touch ok?
Correct on the MP3gain.
RealPlayer 0.5 (free version) works great with the Touch. You'll need to install a plug-in. Very simple to setup.

Can someone help me with my Zen Mi

ok i have a problem.
this just started recently. when i plug my Zen Micro into My computer, it used to recognize it and i could put songs on it. after using it in Removeable Disk Mode, i plug it in (to put songs on it) and it wont even recognize it. is it the cord or is it my Zen or is it my computers? please help!

Make sure that battery is charged.
Detach your player from your PC, and ensure that it is turned off.
Remove the battery.
Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the Recovery Mode appears.
The following options will be displayed: </LI>
Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players hard disk, it will not affect music files)
Format All (Formats the players hard disk - Note: all contents will be lost)
Reload Firmware (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox. Select this option ONLY if you have access to a PC and you have downloaded the necessary firmware to install.)
Reboot (Reboots the device). </LI>
Run a clean up then reboot

Please help me with this zen xtra 30

I am having a few huge problems with this product. The first and probably most severe is I cannot get the battery to charge it charged when I first put the battery in and connected it to the ac power supply but after i cut it off waited awhile noticed the battery icon had disappeared turned it back on to see if it was fully charged it only had two/three cells so I cut it back off after a while to allow it to continue charging proble m is it hasn't it has been hooked up to this ac adapter for the last 6 hours and it still has the same amount of cells that it did the first time i reconnected. I don't even get the little charging icon at where the number of cells increases from 0-3 and then loops it just shows the battery with one cell. Other than that I can't install the software on my computer. I have a 98 SE OS (operating system) and everytime i try to install the software i get a error message and set up is exited and it tries again and i get the same error message so it tries again and again and then it just says screw it and quits. Help I just bought this thing last night from Best Buy I really don't want to have to return it just yet before I have a chance to experience it fully but this is just depressing.

Check your version of Windows Media Player & the what firmware version is on the player? Here's is a post to read to understand why you have the problem & how to fix it. It pertains to a different player but the reason why & solution is the same.Read the WHOLE thread.http://forums.creative.com/creativel...hread.id=28757

Help Urgent with my zen mi

this morning i got up, pick up my zen micro next to my bed...then i tried to turn it on and it didnt wanted to..i took out the batteries and put it back in that didnt work...then i connected to the usb and it shows the batteries re-charging..then i click on the program "Zen Micro Media Explorer" but the program didnt even open..what should i do?

Sounds like your battery was drained completely dead. Let it charge for an hour, then disconnect it from the computer, re-connect it, and try to get in with Media Explorer. It should work fine then.

HELP ME WITH MY ZEN MICRO PHOTO

I don't know what happened exactly all that I know is the other night my friend was using my Zen and then this morning I went to turn it on and all that it won't start. It will say Creative and then just stay there. I charged it and it just won't do anything. What do I do!!! Please help me... :womansad:

I'm assuming you tried to get it in the rescue mode and reboot it from there? If not, try that. If that doesn't work you may need to reload the firmware or something along those lines. If you can't even get to the rescue mode then the hard dri've in your microphoto may have choked and it's time to return it or have it repaired if it's under warranty. Try contacting creative though first as they may have some other solution for you.
If you don't know how to get to the rescue mode on your microphoto, see the thread up at the top of the first page of the forum called "How do I access Rescue Mode/Recovery Mode on my player?"
