Connect a creative zen to my new car ste

Hi
I have recently purchased a new Lexus IS 250 and I want to get a jack plug to connect my creative zen Micro it has a port built in the car to connect it to but I don't know what I need or where I can get one from can anyone help

As far as I can tell it comes with an Aux jack set up as standard, in which case you'll just need a cable to connect directly:

Connecting a Creative Zen to MBP

When I connect my Creative MP3 player to my MBP nothing happens, however when I look in the System Profiler it shows up under the USB devices. How to I transfer files to it? It seems there is no OS X software on Creative's website to do this. Thanks

Run /Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility and see if it appears? Does the 'Mount' button light up or not?
It's probably formatted for PC's with Creative's version of the iTunes software on it I guess ? If you wipe the drive by Formatting you could then write files to it, but you'd have no software on there to play them with ...
i.e. bottom line is it's not compatible with iTunes/Mac OS if there's nothing on their web site to support this and you can't mount the drive.
Addendum:
Check this out http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/
"XNJB is a Cocoa graphical user interface for Mac OS X for the Creative Nomad range of portable MP3 players and newer MTP players."

Cant connect my player - Zen V P

Hello.
Im having a serious problem.
I just cant get my Zen V Plus working.
If i connect it to the computer it starts to recharge, but win dont recognize it.
I tryed Win Vista ultimate,Win XP Pro (WMP instaled),whole creative cd software pack,usb program for detecting a connected devices.
Nothing detects it!
I also tryed to "reload firmware" and nothing, i just cant have it recognized.
So now i have player that can only show "recovery mode" and thats all its functions!
I also tryed change usb drivers and usb port / cables. Same ending.
What should i do? Im at the end of road and just about to throw that sh** out of window...
Thx for suggestions

If you can't connect the device properly via USB, erasing the firmware in recovery mode is NOT a good idea.
You do NOT need to erase the firmware before upgrading it. You need to download the correct version for your player, and run the executable. The dialogue will tell you when to connect the player. If the connection fails you will still have the old firmware loaded, and you are no worse off than before.
t player have you got? /2/4/8GB?
What firmware are you trying to download to it's
If you haven't got a copy, you can get it via the 'Support->Download' link in the page banner.
Vista does not always seem to work well for firmware downloads. It works for some, but not for others (including me).
So try to use XP/SP2 & WMP 0. You don't need the Creative CD installed.
RUn the firmware executable & connect the player when the dialogue tells you to.
If it does not find the player, try a different USB port/USB cable/PC

Develop software for connecting to creative zen touch and other devices not recognized by wind

hi there,
as a programmer i wonder, is it possible to obtain information of how to connect to usb-connected creative device (which is not recognized automatically by windows, as the zen touch) and how to communicate with it's is there any documentation about that available to "non-creative" ;-) developers?
the idea is to create a plugin (e.g. for musikcube) that enables the programm to access the files on the device.
i know there are third party companies that do provide software for connecting to e.g. zen touch, but i do not think that they have figured out every little bit by themselves, have they?
greetings and thanks a lot

Try this:
Download <a href='http://www.delldjsite.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=444' target=_blank>this[/url] file. Extract it to whatever folder you like. Inside that folder run the file fixup.cmd. A DOS window will open up and start display messages on what its doing, when its done it will instruct you to remove the device from Device Manager and reconnect it.
Try this and see if it works.

Error connecting my Creative Zen Mosaic to my computer

When I try to connect my Zen Mosaic to my computer and install the hardware, I get this error: "Cannot Install this Hardware. There was a problem installing this hardware: MTP Device An error occurred during the installation of the device. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I have tried changing USB ports.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the device.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Creative Centrale software.
I am running Windows XP with the Service Pack 3.
I do have Windows Media Player .
?I don't know what else to do. I don't have another computer to try it with at the moment.

:? I listed the error I get above. This is the error I get when I try to install the drivers through device manager and/or the hardware wizard. I can't find any other information aside from this. If there's another place to look, please let me know.
This is the error:
"Cannot Install this Hardware. There was a problem installing this hardware: MTP Device An error occurred during the installation of the device. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I did try formatting the device (although there is nothing on it yet because I haven't been able to get it to connect) I also rebooted it. I am hesitant to remove the firmware since I can't get it to connect to the computer. I'm not sure if I would be able to put the firmware on it again if my computer won't recognize it. And I'm not sure if the problem is my PC or the player. If it's my PC, I'd really be out of luck then!

Connect my Creative Zen V Plus to my Panasonic Stereo SC-P

Indeed... when I connect my Zen to the USB port of my new Panasonic stereo, it doesn't work. A message "UNSUPPORT" appears on the stereo.
I have tried on others stereo at the shop and the same thing happens. At the shop, they told me it comes from my Zen, which wouldn't be updated.
So I've just downloaded firmware upgrade, and the problem?is still here.
Can?someone help me ?
Thank you in advance.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Zen and Zen V+ (maybe more, I only have these two) are not USB compliant memory devices. You must have Creative drivers loaded onto your reading device (meaning it will only work with computers that can have drivers loaded into them such as a PC or Mac). Welcome to the 990's (opinion).
About all you can do is plug the headphone output of the Zen to the audio input of your stereo (hopefully it has one). Too bad because over the last few years, most of the MP3 players out on the market (even the cheapest ones) act as a USB compliant memory device That way, they don't have to distribute a driver disk. You would have thought these would be the same, but maybe with further updateds, that will happen.

I cant connect to creative cloud and download my apps

Yesterday I bought the teachers edition CC,
I logged in and connected to Behance.
Then i wanted to download some apps and it let me download CCdesktop first.
I run it and logged in and synced to Behance. But when i wanted to click the apps tab for downloading apps a "No Internet Connection" turned up in CCdesktop.
Then I started out searching for some solutions, because my internet was just fine.
1. I used the Adobe support advisor and it found 5 issues, all the same:
cpsid_8289s1: A restart is pending, "bootstrapper error has occured"
I checked the taskmanager to see any pending setups, couldnt find any.
I checked the registry for InProgress key, but i have no. It is just not there in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
2. I restarted pc and tried again, same error: no internet connection connecting to the CC
3. I used the adobe cleaner to uninstall ALL of my adobe previous versions, I actually cleaned ALL. The log file shows some parts and files that couldnt be deleted. But all of the Creative Suite 5 programs are gone.
4. I asked the online chat help also. After 1 hour of waiting this help session wasnt going anywhere. I got advised to use Firefox browser, although i tried it on chrome, ie and opera already. I got advised to delete all cookies in the temp folders, no luck either. Then the friendly advisor wanted my host file, but i was so tiered after 4 hours of trying i just gave up there.
Now i am still trying to get creative cloud desktop to login to adobe servers so i can actually download some of the apps i desperately need now.
Is there anybody out there who knows what my problem is or what else i can try to connect to the Creative Cloud?
- I am running on windows 8 pro
thanks

I think i found the answer was in the hosts file
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
I deleted the buttom adobe.activate links and now i finally have access to the Apps.
Wish i went 1 minute further with the help session last night
I hope this helps anyone else with the same connecton problems.
This problem is fixed now, i am installing Apps.

Help!! Cannot connect my creative zen to compu

Hi
Cannot seem to connect my MP3 player to the computer I have downloaded the cd and rebooted but when I connect the zen to the computer by the lead it doesn't do anything. The background lights up but it says not connected on the computer. Is the player supposed to be turned on or off when connected?
Please help me I feel so dense!!!

It should turn on automatically (so yes, it will be on). What happens when you turn the player on normally? Does it boot into the menu?
Is the player recognised at all on the PC, even as an Unknown Device?

TV Connectivity for Creative Zen Vision M 6

Hi all,?I'm trying to buy a new mp3 player, with some requisites. I'll use the player at home linked with my receiver as a kind of media center. I know that there's a dock station for the Zen Vision M 60GB. I saw also that there's a remote control (wired and another wireless remote I200). Is it possible to combine the dock and these remote controls to control Zen by the TV monitor? Could I see, for instance, the playlists on the tv monitor, or do I have to first choose the song or playlist in the Zen?If not, is there another company that makes something like that?I saw that the Ipod has something like that, because I have?a Denon receiver and Denon has a dock that allows al Ipod to be controlled in the tv monitor and the receiver remote control. Thanks a lot!!?RegardsAlexandre

try this it should have all the downloads you need. http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=27&y=0

Connecting Creative Zen Touch to Stereo (Bose Lifestyle Syst

Hi Folks,?A bit of a naf question, I want to connect my Creative Zen Touch to a Bose Life Style System, To provide the best quality Audio connection can you advise what is the best cable for me to use. On a seperate note has anyone any comments on the Cambridge SoundWorks Dock Station, I would like something to connect the Zen Touch to for the kitchen, the cambridge sounddock id a bit of an ugly beast. Is there anything a little easier on the eye but with the same excellent audio quality. Thanks in advance for any help?Earlsie

If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.
Hope that hel

Here's a pic & link too:

You can buy it at any RadioShack (in America) and in Canada I would assume FutureShop would have it as well as any local electronics store.

Creative zen plus works on one computer but it will not connect to my lap

I am trying to connect my creative zen plus to my laptop. I have been using it on my desktop. When I plus it in, I click open songs/files in folder, and it is as simple is that (I drag my songs into and out of my MP3 player).
I just tried plugging it into my laptop, and nothign happened. I then installed the software. Now, when I plug it into the laptop, I get a "found new hardware" message, but I cannot open up the folder to view the files like I do on my desktop. When I click the zen organizer, it says "device not found." Is there something that I need to install or update? I am sure that there is a way for me to be able to use this on both computers. Thanks for the help!

You need to install the software on the laptop before plugging the player in. Uninstall it then load it up again. If that doesn't work, this is the advice I got and it worked first time out:
. Please connect the player to another USB port. Use the ones on the
back of the computer. Remove all other USB devices. If you have another
computer, please try to test the player on that too.
2. Ensure that you are logged in as Administrator or have Administrator
rights assigned to you on the computer.
3. Check Device Manager and see if the player is detected.
a. Click Start and Control Panel (or Settings then Control Panel)
b. If the Control Panel is being displayed in the Category View (the
option Switch to Classic View should appear in the left pane), click
Performance and Maintenance and System. If the Control Panel is being
displayed in the Classic View (the option Switch to Category View should
appear in the left pane), double-click System
c. Select Hardware and then Device Manager.
Your player should be listed under Windows Portable Devices. Please
check if the computer sees it as a MTP Device.
If there is an error or a yellow exclamation mark next to the device,
right click the player listing and select Update driver.
Alternati'vely, you can uninstall the device, and reinstall it. Highlight
the MTP player listing, and press the Delete key on your keyboard, which
will uninstall the MTP device; click Actions ,and then click Scan for
hardware changes. Windows will install the necessary drivers.
That worked fine for me.

Creative ZEN Firmware prob

First. I'm new here, i've been looking for solutions on the boards but they can't solve my problem.
So my problem is, since yesterday, I tried to connect my creative ZEN to the computer and the player show the message "FIRMWARE PROBLEM"
Everytime I try to turn ON the player, the same message display.
I've already search on the web for solutions, like remove Windows Media Player from your computer, then download the firmware and upload the firmware to your mp3 player, but it doesn't work, because the computer doesn't recognises the player.
PLEASE, HELP ME!
thank you.

I've just found out!
When you turn on the player, you'll have to hold the play button, and then it will show you some options, in this case I had to choose "CLEAN UP" I've lost everything I had on my player, but I have him back!
Thanks, at least, to dranpencil for some help =)
