I can't get my Zen Xtra to work on my new comput

Hello. For years now, my Creative Zen Xtra has been working perfectly on my old (and I do mean old, Windows 98 old) computer. However, I recently bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and I just can't get it to work on there. I've installed all the software on the CD I got with the player, but when I open the player, it says "Not connected". All my other USB devices are working, and when I connect my MP3 player, it switches itself on, so I don't think there's anything wrong with my USB ports or the cable, and I can only assume there's something wrong with the software. I already tried looking for a driver update in the Downloads section of this site, but couldn't find anything for Vista.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it's If so, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any security software installed, blocking these ports? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • How can I get my photos from my iPad to my new computer? (iPad and iPhone are my only backups)

    My IMac died,  we bought a new one . how can I get my photos from my iPad to my new computer? (iPad and iPhone are my only backups)

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup.

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • HT1349 i have a new pc and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all data to sync.  How can i get my music from the ipod to the new computer?

    I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync.  How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer.  The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • Where Can I Get a Zen Xtra 60 GB Case/Pouch With Window??!!!!!!!

    I've searched endlessly!
    Creative does not have any in stock so I used the ''notify me when available'' option. And sadly, after writing to Creative's customer support, I was told that they don't even know when the will get more of these in stock.
    Ebay may have a couple available at times, but it is rare. And when there is one listed on Ebay, there are many bidding on it. At other times, on Ebay, there may be a used one available, but the picture which the seller uses is not the actual case being sold. Hard to trust something like that, in my opinion.
    The only site that I have found which offers a case for a Zen Xtra is www.vajacases.com. And although they have a window, clip, etc, and are VERY nice, I don't like the idea of paying around $80 for a case.
    As we all know, iPod has several cases available for ALL of their mp3 players. It is very sad that there are no options for Creative customers. Right now I am storing the player in a generic, uni'versal, case. But this cannot protect my Zen Xtra when I need to use it because the case has to be opened in order to see the display. The odds of me breaking or scratching my Zen Xtra increase each time I have to remove it from it's case. And this is a result of there being no cases available.
    Does anyone know of a case, silicon skin, or pouch that can be used with a Zen Xtra 60 GB? Or perhaps someone may know of an iPod or PDA case which could be used for the Zen Xtra?
    This is frustrating and unbelievable to me. iPod users have an endless supply and variety to choose from while I've only found two options for loyal Creative Zen Xtra customers: . Wait and see if/when Creative has more cases available. 2. Pay nearly half of what my player cost for a vaja case.
    Any help/info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

    i agree that it's rather annoying that it should be that hard to find a case....i like to keep all my gear secure and protected....i've been looking too....sorry i can't tell you anything you don't already know....yeah the vaja case looks really nice but way too much money...i figure our best bet is to try to get the creative one on ebay, hopefully...

  • Can't get stuff I paid for and downloaded to new computer with itunes.

    Ok, I was having some major issues. I posted them here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2569987
    So I decided to download Itunes to my laptop and start over. I tryed to start my desktop to deautherize thta computer but I found out its dead now.
    After installing Itunes and signing in to my account, authrizing this computer I go to check downloads to download all the stuff I paid for in the itunes store. Last time I switched computers all i had to do was do that and it would download it to the new computer.
    Now it says everything was downloaded to this account. It does not download what I paid for. It says I can burn it to a CD/ DVD or link it with home share.
    How can I burn it to a CD if the computer its on is dead? I can't get into the dead computer through my network and home share.
    How can i get the songs/ apps/ movies I have paid for with my hard earned money to download to my account on this new computer?
    I am VERY frustrated with Apple right now. No one has answered my posts, then when I check for phone support, it says they want to charge me.

    I go to check downloads to download all the stuff I paid for in the itunes store.
    That function is for items which you haven't previously downloaded from anywhere, such as season pass episodes not available at the time of purchase.
    How can I burn it to a CD if the computer its on is dead?
    Put its hard drive into an enclosure and copy the files directly.
    How can i get the songs/ apps/ movies I have paid for with my hard earned money to download to my account on this new computer?
    Applications can be freely redownloaded the same way you purchased them. For other content, click here and ask if the hard drive is dead.

  • How can i get my nikon software to work on my new mac book pro with lion

    i had nikon software (capture nx2 and view nx) on my old imac that ran leopard
    i cannot get my nikon software to install on my new mac book pro with lion
    can anyone help me get my software installed
    i need this software to work immediately because without it i am unable to work that is the programs on how i process my photographs and without it i cannot make any money
    thank you

    That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
    Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
    If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

    Thank you in advance

    By contact Apple they mean AppleCare over the phone. This is the user forums, so no one from Apple will be able to assist you. AppleCare's phone number is (800)-APL-CARE (800-275-2273) for the United States.

  • How can I get my photosmart 3180 to work with my new extreme

    I have looked around here, and just can't figure this out, please someone help. I just purchased a 3180 hd with my macbook. Was printing wirelessly fine with my previous hd and new extreme. Now this one isn't working and hp said that it is not a supported wireless printer. Why on earth would apple sell this printer then.
    Could someone please tell me how to make this printer work over my new airport extreme base. PLEASE

    Hey Gabriel (and anyone else interested)
    I was glad to find your post as I had the same issue. My HP Photosmart C3180 would not appear anywhere with my new Airport Extreme 802.11n. I got it to work, but print only (no scan):
    First, remove the HP drivers that you may already have on your Mac. Go to Applications, Hewlet-Packard, and run the Uninstall program. Then go to Utilities, and run Activity Monitor. Locate the handful of activites that are HP related (I had 4) and remove them. Empty the Trash, then Restart. At this point you should be free of HP drivers.
    My setup is with an AirDisk and the printer, both USB to the AEBS through a simple USB hub. While the printer and the Extreme don't seem to get along, I found a thrid party driver that glues it all together nicely.
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    Download the installer for Gimp-Print 5.0. After you run the install, simply go to System Preferences, Print & Fax. Click on the + in the lower right hand part of the screen and new window appears. Click on "Default Browser" in the upper right hand corner and you should see "HP Photosmart C3100 Series" appear with the Bonjour connection. (Make sure, of course, you are connected to your wireless network, everything is hooked up, the printer is on, and Bonjour is enabled).
    that was it! I printed the first page I had open in Preview and it worked flawlessly.
    Now, when I want to scan.... I'll probably just do this whole thing backwards and hook it up with the USB cable to my Mac. We'll cross that bridge next time.

  • How can I get my Firefox persona to work with the new version of Firefox?

    Everything was working fine, then my computer automatically updated Firefox and my persona background disappeared. It's listed as enabled on the add-ons backgrounds under add-ons manager. I have Foxkeh tail wag. I went and reinstalled it but it still doesn't come on. I went to the firefox personas page and tried to install a different persona. NONE of them work now. How can I get my persona background back?

    Fixed! Thank you!

  • Can I still get  Photoshop 11 code to work on my new computer?

    Last year when Adobe migrated from Photoshop.com to Revel, Adobe gave me a free code to upgrade from Photoshop 9 to 11.  I used it and had no difficulty.  In April I bought a new Windows * computer, and tried to use the same code, but found it had expired in july, 2013.  I have installed the free 30 day trial for Photoshop 12, but would certainly prefer my free permanent old version of Photoshop 11.  can I get another free code for either version of Photoshop 11 or 12? Thanks.

    You are correct that I was provided with a serial number to upgrade from the Photoshop 11 trial software to the full version of Photoshop 11.  However that upgrade offer expired on July 30, 2013, and the serial number no longer works.
