PLEASE HELP - Serious problem with my Creative Zen Touch firmware

Ok, so I finally decided that I would upgrade to the latest firmware version for my Creative Zen Touch. I knew that doing so would erase everything on it, so I backed up everything onto my computer's hard dri've. So from that standpoint, I'm in the clear.
HOWEVER, during the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my precious MP3 player without ANY firmware. This then drove it into "recovery" mode, where I can either clean up, format, or reload firmware. I've gone through each of these options, but when I go to "reload firmware" my computer will no longer detect my Zen! I've tried reinstalling different driver versions, different firmware versions, etc. The bottom line now is that my mp3 player has no firmware, and my computer won't detect it.
I feel like I probably need to go back to the basics. Unfortuantely, I don't have my installation CD with me. Can anyone post the initial installation file please? Thanks in advance!
I really hope I can work this out, I don't know if I've gone a day without my Zen in the past two years!

Simon, this is actually a common problem with the touch. Mine did it about a year after purchase, so I was safe to open it up and fix it. It is actually a really simple fix and is due to a loose connector. I know alot of other people on nomadness.net were having this problem, so I posted a solution here. Hope this helps!

Major problem with my Creative Zen Touch 20gb pla

I seem to be having some serious problems with my player - the scroll button no longer works, and the right-side buttons (Back, Play/Pause and Forward) all malfunction as well. The main issue is the scroll button - this no longer works at all, and without this function the player is essentially useless in all modes other than 'random' - as I cannot scroll down to choose songs by album, artist, genre etc. Even in 'random' mode, the functionality of the player is negligible - I cannot fast forward a track, as if I hold down the 'forward' button it automatically skips forward to new tracks without the chance to play one of them.
This is not the first time I've had a problem with this particular model - I've had complaints before on this forum about an earlier player I had (same model), a different problem but one that was never fixed - through my own error I misplaced the receipt and was unable to have the player fixed (it was within warranty at the time), so I had to pay ?50 for a replacement - to find that this player is now essentially broken as well has left me disgusted, in honesty. Details of the earlier problems with my former player are at the following link:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=5966
As if this wasn't enough, I actually experienced problems with my newer player almost from the off - the data folder malfunctioned, to the extent that files I'd placed in there were unable to be removed - eventually I had to format the player, not only losing important data from the data folder, but also experiencing the inconvience of having to spend many hours putting all my music back onto the player once it had been formatted. This was not a massi've issue, more a minor irritance, but again it's left me wondering what the problem is...is this model notoriously poor performance-wise? Three major errors on two separate players, two of them seemingly fatal to the use of the player, inside the space of just over a year is utterly ridiculous, I think.
At this point, I'd like to know what I can do to get a reimbursement on the cost of my current player, as opposed to a replacement - although I have found the performance of the Zen Touch 20gb to be generally very good, I'm not willing to put up with having each new replacement fail within a year of receiving it. I have lost all confidence in Creative providing me with a player I can rely on, to be honest.
If anyone could point me in the right direction with regards to finding out how I can go about receiving a refund on the price of my player, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Problems with connection Creative zen M and DVD-CD pla

Hi,
I have problems whem i connect my zen to the DVD player. I've connected zen with a cable going from the headphones to the audio line in (red and white) at the back of the DVD system. I get sound but the problem is that my zen automaticly switch to the FM radio mode, when it should be playing from the music libary. This happens by 70% of the numbers. How can I deal with this problem?
Problem 2 is that I hear a strong noise when I connect my zen to the DVD player. It's al low sound which comes back in all the 5 boxes en sounds like a bee...
Problem 3 is that I can't get the full volume on the DVD system. Even when zen is max on 25 i've to put the DVD system also max before a normal sound is coming to me...
Can anybody please help me? Thanks!

Hi there,
. The reason the ZVM is switching to fm radio is because the headphone jack also supports a wired remote that controls some of the ZVM functions there will be some sort of back feed from your DVD head unit to the ZVM causing this to happen.
2. The headphone jack does carry a bit of noise when used with line in applications and compared to the line out function of the ZVM is muffled and lacks power(this also could be noise in your DVD unit).
3. Same as above(2) the A/V out function has a set volume and is louder and much clearer than the headphone out jack.( The line out is the A/V out function of the ZVM found in the supplied adaptor that plugs into the bottom of the ZVM)
To overcome this problem simply use the line out function of the ZVM either through the dongle and an A/V cable or get an after market cable to suit and that should solve your problems with this type application.
Let us know how you go with it
Heres the bits
http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=4484
Or you can search for a cable that plugs straight into the bottom of the ZVM and has rca's on the other end, you should be able to find then via a search here or through epizenter.net in one of the threads

Problem with the Creativ Zen Touch 20

Hello,
I have a problem with my 20 Gb Creative Zen Touch.
Since today he gets stuck if "<EM>Zen Touch</EM>" on the screen appears. Put back nothing brings, he gets stuck further there at the same place. My computer does not recognize him and charge nothing also brings.
What can I do?

Hi, I get sometimes the same problem, try to turn on in recovery mode & clean up:
Go to www.creative.com -> support -> knowledge base ->and select you player, & search: "Recovery Mode: What to Do And How To Access"
& follow the instructions.
I cleaned up my player, but this action erased my songs. So,back up your files before do this.

A problem with a creative Zen Touch 20

My creative zen touch now almost always has the battery indicator that says that it is using outside power, even when it is completely disconnected from outside power. The only time that it sometimes does not have that as its battery indicator is when im charging it from the non-usb power adapter. Then it shows the normal charging icon. This is very irritating because i can never tell how much batter my Touch has left.

so i guess, no one can help me

Having problems with my new iPod touch can you help me a first time user?

I cannot locate my photos in the iTunes library, I have no problem with the Music entry, is there something I have to do to create a library entry?
Also I do not get the photo folders only the individual photos in one large file (3500+) good quality but not good for specific look up, again is there anything I need to do to have folder organization?
I'd appreciate any help that I can get, and would thank any particant in advance

Hi Kappy. I have located the photo files from the sync to my ipod, by the way I am a Windows XP user, and what is showing is a file called 'ipod Photo Cache' which contains folders which have the photo conversions of what is in my 'My Pictures' folder, this cache folder follows at the end of my photo library content.
The cache folder files have an extension of .thumb these are conversions for the ipod and appear to change when I delete or modify any photo in my library and to further complicate things these photos (.JPG format) have an intermediate conversion to a (.cpt format)which are contained within my photo library folders. None of this bothers me since I have my photos on the ipod which is of great value to me.
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I will now let this rest and proceed to other new challenges in the ipod world.

I got some problems with my 3D in Photoshop.I press the 3D button and its showing me nuthing.If someone can help me ...Please... Thanks.

Yes, you have to have a document open or you can open a 3D file (OBJ, 3DS, DAE, LMZ, or U3D)
If you open a document and then open the 3D Panel there are a variety of create 3D options.

A problem with my Creative Zen Xtra and Mediasou

When I play music off of my Zen on my computer through Mediasource, sometimes Mediasource will close down out of nowhere and will not reopen unless I restart my computer. I have the most updated version of the Zen's driver and everything.
Does anyone know what could be going on here and if so, how do I fix this issue?
Thanks.

Someone has to know! Enlighten me! Haha.

I am having multiple problems with my iphone 4s, people can't hear me when I call, text messages don't always send, calls go straight to voice mail. I have all bars, have hard rest 3 times. I have called apple 4 times and gone to a store. No help.

I have had the 3g, 3gs, 4 and little if any problems. I made a major mistake buying the 4s. What a horrible phone. I must say, apple service is at best, BAD. Here are the basics. I am on the same network, I call the same people, I use the same text messages as I did with the 4. With the 4s, I will call someone and they will not be able to hear me. I have to hang up and recall. Or the phone just does nothing when I press call. Text messages acts like they send but when I go back the have been sent. Sometimes the calls go direct to voice mail.
Here's what I have done. Reset, did not help. Called apple, advisor said she would call me back in 5 minutes, after waiting for 5 days for the call, I recalled, they walked me through the same things I had already done, then said to take it to a store. So they set up an appointment for the only day I could get to it, 1 1/2 hours away, on my grand son's birthday. That was okay if they fixed it. So they hard reset it, we had to setup 4 email accounts, they would not allow me to restore because they said it was a software problem. So I had to download all the apps, lost a lot of data. No fun. But if it worked! So Monday back at work, guess what, same thing. When home and did another hard reset. Still no lick. Called apple again. They said they would replace my phone, all they needed was to put a hold on a credit card for $899 or drive a 1 1/2 hours to a store.
So anyone know a good andriod phone.
PS I got a email asking about the service each time and each time I told them what a horrible phone it was and how bad service was. I have yet to hear back. I guess they do not read them!

You're not speaking to Apple on in this forum, nor will someone from Apple see this post. We are just users like you and I.
Have you tried to restore or reset your phone?
Or contact your carrier in re: to your sim card

HT1414 I am having a problem with a black screen.. Please HELP

I am having black screen issues. Have tried all the resets and no luck. I hear it but cant see anything. I called support and they said pay more money for it to get resolved. I cant see paying money for something i dont ffeel i caused. I left it charging and went out for several hours and came back to a black screen now its gonna cost 149.99 for telephone support that may or may not resolve the issue. Funny the first time I called them it started working again andthe price to get support at that time was 119.99 then they proceeded argue with me that it was not fixed and i would have to pay them to fix it. The darn thing is only 8 months old never been scratched dropped or abused in any way. Someone please help me get his apple ipad working for my daughter. This is her fun she doesnt do much else and i cant seem to figure out what is wrong with it...It is still under warranty and they say just to send it in is going to cost 99.99. I feel im being taken advantage of by the support comapny apple uses....
Thanks for any feedback

After selecting the Crop Tool you should see a little icon in the Options bar that allows you to select what kind of grid overlay you'd like while cropping, along with some options that define when to show it...

Having serious problems withe my ipod touch 1st gen need help!!

just last week it was working fine then within a span of 2 hrs the wifi just wouldnt connnect any more. no matter what i did in reseting the the ipod or setting it wouldnt work. then it battery life just started to go only watched 20 min of a movie and the batter died. and yesterday i lastened to 8 hrs of music then it died. and now today only was able to listen to 1 hr of music then it died. all were charged over night. need help please!!!

WiFi problems, especially if you have lost the WiFi symbol from the top left of the screen, can usually be fixed by resetting network settings - Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
For your other problems, I think a complete restore might be in order. I would at least try it and see what happens.

HT201210 Having problems with restoring my iphone 3g can anyone help?

When I am trying to restore my iPhone 3g iTunes first states that an iphone has been detected in 'recovery mode' so I click ok, then it starts restoring the iPhone and before it is complete a pop-up box comes up and says unknown error (1015)
Can anybody help??

That error almost always indicates your phone was jailbroken.
If that's the case, you can't get help here. Try google or the hacking community.
If you are absolutely positive that your phone was not jailbroken or hacked, and that you are not attempting to downgrade iOS, then you have a hardware failure.

I am having problems with iChat after installing Lion, can anyone help?

I installed Lion this week after I installed everything seemed to be working great. However, if I open iChat and then log in and log out it will not let me log back into iChat

Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
Log back in again.
