  • 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 30gb and Vista.

    Is there a way to get a Creative Zen Vision M 30gb to work on a Vista computer? It will save me buying my son a new MP3 player. Thanks.

    I've been in touch with Creative support for over a week now but so far without success. Every time I download links they suggest I still can't access Creative Media Explorer, I just keep getting this error message:-
    "The Creative Media Explorer that is compatible with this device is not installed. Please reinstall the application and try again"
    This has included deleting all previously installed Crteati've files as well as downloading in a 'Clean Boot'. I've also rebooted my Zen Vision M.
    At this rate I'll have to bin the Zen and look at an ipod:manmad:

  • Help with Creative Zen Vision:m navigat

    Hello, I am thrilled to get my new creative zen vision:m player. However, I am confused by the navigation buttons. How do I return to the main menu of the player (the one that contains, music, videos, fm, system etc. sub menus) by a single click?
    I am also not sure about the function of the two buttons on the sides of the touch pad.
    Can anyone please clarify?
    Thanks,

    Press and hold the Menu/Back button to return to the main menu. The two buttons to the side of the touchpad are Previous/Rewind and Next/Fast.

  • Jesus wept somebody help (60Gb Creative Zen Vision

    Well heres the deal, i've got me the 60Gb vision M, i bought when i li'ved back in England and have taken it travelling with me and now i li've in Vietnam, anyway the problem is that the touchpad to choose music, turn the volume etc is **bleep**ed, the buttons are barely responsi've AND i cant charge it from the mains only a pc!!! Grrrr... So far i've tried a few things, when i turned my zen on one day and it was **bleep**ed i just tried sticking a pin in the reset bit and that didnt work, i actually went out and bought a laptop so i could put all the music onto it so i didnt lose it all and have just tried reinstalling the firmware or whatever the fudge it is but that didnt work, i would try and do the format option whereby you hold the on switch on and jab a pin into the reset button but i've tried that and because my scroll button is fudged i cant scroll down to the format option and even if i could i dont know if the buttons would work or not. This is really hacking me off, all i want is my mp3 player back but i know its going to be a mission to do because of buying the mp3 off of amazon in england and now living in Vietnam (and the fact that i dont totally trust the vietnamese postal service) posting it back home, trying to get someone to send it to or get picked up by creative then having it sent back is going to take so long and be more trouble than its worth, so if anyone has any decent ideas on how to maybe resolve this problem other than throwing this thing at the wall with enough force to put a brick out of place and then buy a new mp3 player please let me know, peace out!!!

    Try and start the Vision:M up and then put the player next to your ear. See if you hear the disk dri've making a clicking sound or repeatedly making the same series of noises. If the disk was acti've when you dropped it, there is a good chance that the disk drive has crashed.

  • Creative Zen Vision M no longer charges with the wall char

    I have had a zen vision M for about 5 months and have never had a problem with it til now. I was listening to it this morning and realised it needed charging so i plugged in the charger as well and all was fine. It seemed to charge for awhile and then it stopped and the charge went backwards. Now every time i plug in the wall charger (that came with the player when i bought it in July 2006) it just shows as being on AC power unless i hold it in a specific position. I have it plugged into my computer at the moment and it seems to be charging. the blue light is on and the battery is showing as charging.How do i know if its a problem with my charger or not - i tried my PSP charger as i had seen that in some posts on here and the same thing happened. I think its something internal. I don't want to send it anywhere as of course its out of warranty and i don't want to pay for anything.Anyone have any ideas. I read something about firmware fixing battery charging ability but then it wipes out FM recording - not that i use it that much but i still use it.Anyway im wondering if anyone has any ideas or if anyone else has had the same problem. I searched high and low but i could only find people with charging problems when they first bought the units.Any help would be appreciated as i like to listen to it at work and my work computer won't accept my player as im not an administrator so i can't install it etc. I need to be able to charge it either at home or at work so i can listen to it. Thanks for your time in advance, i really hope someone can help me as i love this groovy player and i just lectured my sister the other day on how much better than an ipod it is and now it goes and does this. Thanks again

    It seems to have fully charged. I left it on while i went out and it now says it has full battery although it still seems to be charging. Does that mean there could be a problem with the AC charger slot on the adapter? Is there any way to buy a new adapter? if that seems to be the problem. If i upgrade to the latest firmware can i go back to the original if necessary?

  • Need help with Creative Zen: Vision M 60 gig vers

    I have?a somewhat?complicated problem. I went to the store set on buying the largest possible storage space, that was not an Ipod. The salesman told me that the 60 gig version was not available at all where I li've (Norway). I believed him and, somewhat disappointed,?bought the 30 gig version instead (It didn't have enough?space for everything I intended to put on it). I went home, installed the program, inserted the player?and everything worked fine. It recharged normally, the media explorer could locate the player and I could transfer files back and forth. Then I went to my buddy's place, whose?50 gig, perfectly organized?music collection was my main reason for buying this thing. I wanted to copy his whole collection, but since I only had a measly 30 gigs, I only copied what I viewed as most essential. I was reasonably happy with my purchase. Imagine my surprise then when I browsed the Creative homepage and saw that you could have the 60 gig?Vision M shipped to Norway for only a meager increase in cost over what I had paid at the store. I cursed the?sleazy?swindler of a salesman, who?was probably trying to empty?his stocks,?and promptly went back to the store and traded in my 30gig for an imported 60gig?(I didn't have the balls to denounce the salesman, unfortunately). I received?my new gadget?a few days later. I was a little curious about whether my already installed Media Explorer would work with the new player, but it seemed to work fine without having to reinstall the program included in the new package. Not so on my buddy's computer. When I inserted the player in his USB dri've, the computer recognized it's(a notice popped up asking me what to do next time the player was inserted) but the Media Explorer did not. "Your player is not connected". Ah well. I brought out the CD and reinstalled the Media Explorer. Still nothing. I reinstalled everything that was on the CD. Nope, still can't find it. What?to do? I want that?music!!

  • Help With Creative Zen Vision M

    Hello.
    My iPod was one of the versions with the known issue of the battery frying out after a year (of course it happened about a month after my warranty expired) so I went out and bought a Creative Labs Zen Player. Now I don't appear to be able to import any of the songs or videos I purchased on iTunes, and I purchased a lot. Can anyone tell me how I can convert these files, or am I just out of luck?
    Thanks
    Marc

    Go to System (on the main menu)>Player settings>Protected Content Password and make sure Protected Content is set to 'Show' Then set a password. Go back to the main menu, and go to Videos>Video and pick a folder in there, press the dropdown menu button (The bottom right black button) ontop of that folder, and click protect. Go back to the Player settings menu (The one you went to before) and tap the touchpad on Protected content : Show, it should say Hide instead of show. Your folder is protected.

  • 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 video download probl

    I have a new creative zen vision:m devise and I'm having real trouble downloading videos purchased from 7digital.co.uk and itunes. I'm able to convert videos that I either took with a digital camera or downloaded for free easily but wmv files will not convert. I get the error message that either the file is protected, not supported or missing codec directshow(r) despite the fact that the website and Creative user guide suggest that both wmv and mpeg4 files are compatible. Please help! I'm running windows XP

    SOLUTION:
    After lots of searching through the web, I have found this solution to our problems regarding transferring purchased video from 7Digital. This doesn't solve the mystery of the missing directshow codec (I haven't got a clue why VideoConverter thinks it is missing as I have just about every directshow/directX pack installed). This process involves making a copy of a copy of the video, but it looks fine to me:
    ) download and install the excellent freeware application ZD Soft Screen Recorder, available at http://all-streaming-media.com/recor...-recording.htm This is a brilliant resource which will allow you to record video from your computer screen and record the corresponding sound in the same file. It is totally legal as it merely copies an output and does not break any DRM.
    2) Launch ZDsoft and queue up the purchased video in Windows Media Player. Play the video to see the area of the screen it occupies and check 'record specified area' in ZDsoft. Then click 'select an area' and use this tool to draw a border round the area of the screen occupied by the video. Make sure no toolbars or cursors appear inside this border, otherwise they will be recorded too.
    3) In ZDsoft select 'AVI' as the output file, and choose the quality. DON'T choose WMV otherwise you will get the directshow error message again.
    4) Make sure 'record sound' is checked and click the 'settings' tab next to it. Choose one of the 'stereo mixer' options. Select 'start' to begin recording. The window can minimise if you wish.
    5) When the video comes to an end, right click the minimised window and click 'stop'. ZDsoft will then show you where it has saved the file and will ask you if you want to view it. If you select 'yes', make sure you have a media player set up to play .avi files. (Using an up-to-date real player as your default player for .avi files will result in the video then playing back in real player).
    6) Launch Creative VideoConverter. Add the .avi file you have just made to the conversion list and connect your Vision M. Select 'next'. The output seems to be restricted to WMV at 320 x 240 resolution and I don't know how to change this, but this is perfectly acceptable. Select 'crop to screen size' and 'transer to player' (or you can transfer later using MediaExplorer). And voila, you have your video on your Zen Vision M!

  • I need help with my Creative Zen Vision M 3

    Hi!? So I was listening to my creative zen vision M 30g mp3 player when it froze in the middle of a song. I tried to reset it using the reset hole on the bottom. When I reset it, it rebooted to the recovery mode and it has been stuck there ever since. I tried using all the options on the screen, clean up, format all, reload firmware and the reboot. The only one that really works is the reboot. The other ones will go through the motions then stop and give me the message " hard disk problem"? anyway, I can fix this at home or do I have to send it away? I have had it for about /2 now so its factory warrenty has expired so I guess I am concerned about the cost of repair. At the same time however, It was almost $300 when I bought it so I dont want to just settle for the fact that it is now not working.
    Any help or advice or similar stories would be helpful. Or cost?Amas2

  • 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

  • HELP!!! Creative Zen Vision M - unresponsive in ANY way...NEED HELP!

    Ok, so this might be a very simple question to answer, but I'm very worried.
    Pretty much, I had been using my Creative Zen Vision M (30 gig) for a long time, but stopped about a year ago. The batteried drained, and I didnt get around to charging it.
    Now, it's been about a year, and I've tried plugging in the Zen into my computers to charge.
    There is NO recognition of the player, no yellow alert, no new device alert, NOTHING.
    The blue light at the top DOES NOT flash
    And My media explorer thinks that it is not connected to the computer.
    I've read a lot about Zens going black, and the blue light keeps flashing, but literally, from the time I plug in the Zen, to when it's sitting on my shelf, I notice no difference. I cannot turn on the player and it wont charge.
    I tried using USB ports in the back, as well as leaving the zen plugged in all day to "Charge". Over 8 hours later, and the player does not budge.
    I do not own an adapter to the Zen, but I tried a 4.5V sony one, and recieved nothing.
    The simple question is:
    After letting the player drain, and die after just under a year of no use, has my player bit the bisquit's
    OR
    Is my battery (or firmware, which unfortunately I have no idea what it is, but it sounds like I can upgrade without having the player turn on) simply taking it's sweet time to recouperate.
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! I am very desperate to get my player working again.

    Leave the player connected to the computer & use a REAR USB port(with the computer on) for 24hrs. Or use a wall charger to charge the battery . It may take a hour for it to just start charging plugged in but once it does let it FULLY charge. That means until it stops blinking the battery icon it full & the player cuts off when done. Now I know Creative wall chargers are not easy to find & they are not cheap. The Sony PSP wallcharger is compatible with the players adapter(plugs into the center hole on the dongle) Also to get it charging after it has been connected for a time hit the Reset? while connected.Not easy but doable with a thin pin.
