  • Can I connect my Zen V Plus to a PC without MediaSour

    I would like to connect my Zen V Plus to my computer at work but I'm not allowed to install any "unapproved" software, and Creative MediaSource definitely falls under the "unapproved" category. Is there any way to access the player through the USB port with standard Windows drivers?

    I've been trying to put 2 small video clips on my V plus and i have no soft wear but i can still plug in on this computer. but everytime i try to put the video on it either won't let me or it says it had problems trying to play it on my v plus. I'm using window's media player to sync the videos onto it. should i change the file type or what? Please help.

  • Want to connect my old Laserwriter Plus to my new iMac

    My old LW+ has been connected to my equally old Quadra 700 and Performa 6116 via the old appletalk protocol. Since i rarely play with those anymore, I wanted to hook up the printer (which still prints beautifully) to the new iMac. Trouble is, I have no idea if technology exists to go from the appletalk technology (or even the old serial port) to, say, usb...or maybe even ethernet, and if 10.4.10 will even recognize the old beast. Any suggestions?

    If you're willing to turn on one of the old computers as print server, and it's hooked up to ethernet, install Appletalk Bridge on the old server, and your printer should show up in Printer Setup on OS X.
    Asante and Farallon made ethernet-localtalk bridge devices that are now available on eBay. My Farallon one doesn't work with my 100baseT network, so I can't really recommend that approach.

  • When I connect my Zen V Plus to my computer, it doesnt show I have it connec

    As the title says, my computer can't read that I have my v plus connected. I am using windows vista, and am very disapointed that I can't do any thing with my new mp3 player. Any one know why it would be doing this?

    I have the same problem, when i connect my zenvplus mp3 player all it dose is loading the battery, but my computer cant find it... So i looked in to the manual and on the first page they said "DO NOT connect your player to your computer befor setting up the software" and guess what? I did connect it to charge the battery so they would be full when i started the installation of the software. I have tryed uninstall the software and follow the manual but the same outcome. So i jumped over to a friend of mine that have the exakt same player and pluged it in there with my usb cable (I used my usb cable so i would know that it wasent wrong with it). And it worked all fine, no problems at all. Oh, btw, i use windows xp not vista...
    I called the (Sweden) support line but they where closed, but the message whas so bad i could not realy hear what time they where open, guess i have to try tomorrow.
    So what can i do now? Reinstall the windows? Becos reinstalling the softwhere dident to the trick...

  • Zen V Plus and USB Connect

    Hello everyone. First off... I love the look, feel, and design of the Zen V plus. I'm hoping to eventually get to compliment the actual functionality of it. It has been a long day of hurry up and wait since I sped off to Circuit City early this afternoon for the Zen V plus. I'm just DYING to test it out, but it seems there is a major stumbling block. Let me give you a step by step run down of what has gone on since I can't seem to find a solution in the other posts I've read:
    I put the installation disc and successfully installed the software on it.
    After installation, I connected the zen v plus to the USB port and it wasn't long before I saw the battery symbol, complete with lightning bolt to show that it was charging. I also noticed that it was "docked", and I saw the USB symbol on the screen of the mp3 player. The button lights were glowing on and off. No problems yet...
    I checked to see if you could sync songs while it charged - and it didn't recognize the player.
    Around the 4 hour later mark, it DID recognize the player, and allowed me to rip and sync my Maroon 5 CD. I decided to leave and let it charge fully before making any other attempts.
    I come home, and the mp3 player has been charging for approximately 6.5 hours. The lights are no longer flashing, and it has appeared to shut off, which I assumed meant it was done charging.
    I unplug - attempt to turn on - and nothing. It's dead. Now...it's not being recognized at all.
    I'm not good with electronics really, and never pretended to be, but something tells me the USB connection is weird. My brother owns a PSP - and sometimes it doesn't want to read *his* device either. I'm wondering if perhaps it did recognize the device long enough to give me confidence that it was charging, and then lost the usb connection at some point. (It's highly doubtful that my pc went into any sort of sleep/power save mode because there is almost always someone on the computer here.)
    For what it's worth, I am using WMP 0, Windows XP (service pack 2), and have tried ALL usb ports (front and back) to get some juice into this thing. The computer just won't recognize it now. I plug it in and hit the power button, and it won't show me so much as a sign of life.
    Any suggestions

    I had this exact same problem. you should see a little plug on the battery when its connected to the computer, you are seeing a lightning bolt because your V Plus has an old Firmware version on it. Head to the Support->Downloads section and download the latest (..03 I think). This fixed most of the problems I was having.

  • Trouble connecting Zen V Plus (4

    I've been having trouble connecting my Zen V Plus to the computer. When I connect it I manage to transfer maybe 0-20 songs if I'm quick (I'm using WMP .0.572.545), but then everything freezes. I have to plug out the player before the computer and the player starts responding. If i reconnect it quickly I manage to transfer 0-20 additional songs.
    The player's firmware is .0.03e, and I've got Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 installed. I've tried using both WMP and MediaSource, but I have the same problem. I've even tried formatting the hd and installing a fresh XP Pro (with SP2), but I get the same result.
    Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?
    Can this be an error with the player?
    Is this a good enough reason for me to get a new player?

    I have the same product and hooked the player up before download, and now my computer won't recognize it being pluged in, how do i fix it, anybody?

    Now player cant be recognised by computer. But when I connect my Zen V Plus, it is recognised as STMP3600 device , and is trying to install new driver.
    Can you Help me.
    I bought my Creative Zen V Plus in miami I September this year. I`m Living in Serbia. Europe.
    Sincerely yours,
    Dejan Djordjevic
    P.S. I`v tried to reset player, and to reset frimware according to your instruction in your Knowledge database. But can`t help me.

    Yes I've got a TEAC MP-244 and I wanted to upgrade the firmware.
    Tghe tool that was sent me by a TEAC support member worked; but it made my player to be a "STMP3600" and Windows XP wanted to have a driver.
    I looked into the folder but the files there were corrupt.
    The I downloaded the older firmware from the TEAC support website and - god thanks - the files in this packed folder worked. That means that the STMP3600 was recognized and a new device - in German: Player-Wiederherstellungskonsole (Englisgh sthg. like that: Device to recover the player?) - was created. Then I could upgrade the firmware successfully.
    Maybe that's a help for you all guys.

    How exactly do you do this?

    I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
    As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
    I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

    When I plug in my zen its says "Zen V Plus Detected" then "MTP Device"
    Then it launches into Hardware Wizard. After telling it to search on the disc provided I get this message.
    "There was a problem installing this hardware

    The specified service does not exist as an installed service."

  • My PC freezes everytime i connect my Zen V P

    Dear,
    Since last week, everytime I connect my Zen V Plus to my PC, it just freeze. And when I unplug the cable, PC runs back to normal. I used to be able to connect it to PC without any problem. Now my Zen V Plus still able to play songs normally. And it still charging when I plug the cable to PC. But I can't add songs to it coz PC just freeze.
    I got USB 2.0 and Windows Media Player installed. Could it be any hardware problem? I tried to push reset button and the problem is still the same..
    Please advice..

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear you are having problems. You could try setting the Zen up as a removable disk. Once you set it up re-attach to the PC. If the problems occur then it could very well be problems with the USB port. If on the other hand it works and you can read and write data to the player in Removable Disk mode then it is more than likely software. I'd try
    ) Re-running the Zen V software installation.
    2) Reload WMP or if you think this could be the problem then try reverting back to WMP 0 (instructions here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player//readme.aspx from the MS site.
    3) Open up the task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and check to see if the program CTSYNCU.EXE is running.
    4) Try using MSCONFIG.EXE to do a selecti've startup. Another application may be to blame. Check out here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/30560/ for more information on this is
    Hope this helps,

  • Zen Nano Plus Folder Quest

    Hello,
    I want to use my Zen Nano Plus to listen to books and to play music. I downloaded a book from my public library (way cool!) and put it in it's own folder. I downloaded a bunch of music and put all that in another folder. My problem is that I can't figure out how to listen to my book for awhile, then listen to music (ideally in shuffle mode) and then go back to the book and not have the book start over from the beginning. Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks,
    Rachel

    what audio format is the book from the library? Typcially, "books on MP3" are split into 0 minute sections. You can do this yourself with a variety of programs. Audible files, of course, will play on your Nano, but you have to buy these. Audible format creates an automatic bookmark where you stop play, which is exactly what you are looking for. You can either make small MP3 files (assuming your book is MP3) and remember which file you stopped on, or you can download books from Audible.com and it works automatically.

  • Zen Nano Plus Connection Probl

    (2)Zen Nano Pluses. Both using firmware .0.03. One Red, one Black (Click and Clack always want to know what color car they are diagnosing...)
    (2) Computers, both XP SP2 with all updates; one called Dad's, one called W's.
    One Zen (for ID, the red one) has been used on Dad's computer without issues for about 3 weeks.
    One Zen, new and color Black, works on Dad's computer, but not on W's computer. W's computer will not properly recognize either the new Nano (the black one) or mine (the Red one), in either Creative MEdia SOurce, or Zen Explorer, or Windows explorer.
    First, I have read the FAQ's. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nano software. When I use PB's check odd things appear:
    PB's check:
    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.
    PB
    What appears on Dad's computer, with either Nano, is USB Enhanced Host Controler, USB Root Hub, Generic USB Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device, Generic Volume. Again, either Nano works on Dad's computer.
    On W's computer, after just having reinstalled the new mass driver, it is USB2 Enhanced Host Controller, USB Root Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Disk Dri've. On restart from that, it reads Creative Nano Plus USB Device, with no "volume" underneath it, and the oddball icon is not there. I think the oddball icon is associated with the "Disk Dri've". Once it read under Creative ZEn Nano Plus, "Unknown Device". Also, when I attach a Nano to W's computer, it first seems to see the Nano in the New Device Found message, THEN while it is still attached, it says in another New DEvice Found mesage that it has found a Disk Dri've. It also shows some oddball icon I can't decipher, right next to the "safely remove Hardware" icon. The oddball icon does not appear on Dad's computer.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.Message Edited by Bennyd on 0-0-2006 06:6 AM

    NEWS!!!
    Actually, we have 3 Zen Nano Pluses. Two (the black and the red) have .0.03 firmware. I have never connected the black or the red to W's computer and have it connect properly. In fact, I had just tried (again) to connect the black, it failed, I re-booted. Then, I connected the blue, with the old firmware, and it CONNECTED. I could see it in WIndows explorer as dri've F:, which never happened with either the red or the black with .0.03 firmware.
    So, now what?

  • Zen Nano Plus connection problems - SOLVED (1/2/06)

    I recently bought the Nano Plus. On first installation everything worked fine. I decided to upgrade to the latest drivers and firmware via downloads from the Creative site. At some point during the firmware upgrade, everything seemed to hang. Eventually I had to halt the process, disconnect the player and reboot.
    When I plugged the player back in, it is detected as a USB Mass Storage Device, but Windows Explorer and the Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer both claim that the device is not connected.
    Here's what I have done so far:
    )Uninstalled all drivers and Creative software, rebooted, reinstalled drivers/software, rebooted. When plugging the player in, a brief window pops up saying Zen Nano Plus has been detected. This is followed by USB Mass Storage Device being detected (this window stays up a lot longer, sometimes more than 5-0 minutes before disappearing).
    2)Another uninstall/reinstall, but this time with a registry cleanup in between. Same result.
    3)Tried installing installation cd on partner's laptop and plugging in the player. Absolutely everything works fine. So it's not my player. There must be something I still need to do on my desktop to get everything to work again.
    4)Have also tried plugging into every USB outlet on the desktop. No change.
    My system:
    Windows XP (sp 2)
    3.2 GHz
    Intel 865 chipset
    2 GB RAM
    My Zen Nano Plus is currently running .0.03 firmware (latest).
    On this desktop I am running the latest drivers (Creative Mass Storage Drivers .07.00.250)
    When the player is plugged in, device manager shows no problems. Under Disk Dri'ves, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2535.0). Under USB, USB Mass Storage Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2600.0).
    I have tried manually updating these drivers to anything listed in the Creative folders upon installation, but it does not detect anything. When I check the drivers listed on the laptop that works with the player, these same driver details show up.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I certainly would hate to only use my partner's laptop every time I want to update my music. I am also frustrated and puzzled as to why my player first worked on my desktop and now doesn't.Message Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2: AMMessage Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2:2 AM

  • Zen V Plus keeps connecting and then disconnecting to the computer. HEL

    So when I plug in my Zen V Plus into the computer using the USB cable, it pops up in windows XP as usual, but then 2 seconds later it disconects. I move it to the side and it re-connects, then 2 seconds later it disconects again. Can anyone tell me what's going on with my Zen??Thank you !!

    I cannot guarantee that this is the answer to your question (I'm not an electrical engineer), but the same thing happened when I tried once to charge my Zen V Plus at work. But after reading this forum for a while, I came to the conclusion that the Zen waits for a specific signal from the USB port that says it's okay to charge it. If it doesn't get the signal, it goes to "sleep" for a while, then wakes up to check again. If still no "okay" signal is received, it cycles back and forth between sleeping and checking. That's why the screen lights up, then goes off for a while, then lights up again.
    This is a GOOD thing I guess because it means I don't have to do the "disconnect USB dri've" thing since the Zen knows when it's receiving power.
    At home I don't experience this behavior.
    HTH, Roger
