Im having trouble with my zen microph

Im having trouble with my new Zen Microphoto. I turned it on a couple days ago and it froze at the startup screen, and it just says creative on the screen, and you can't do anything about it. I read the faqs and product help stuff that told me to go to recovery mode and select something like clean files. I did that and it says "Scan Disk...". Ive been waiting for like 8 hours, and i need help. I have like 800 songs, so im wondering if that's the reason it is taking so long. Well if you can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

I didn't have this issue with my new ZMP but if you are using it for the very first time and this happens, bring it back to the store and get a replacement. Test it out directly at the store to avoid anymore troublesome issues.

Having Trouble with Creative Zen Touch 20G

Hey everybody. I bought me a 20G Creative Zen Touch (you know, the one where the scroll thing is in the middle of the player, vertically?). Anyway, i bought it a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty **bleep** cool. No problems with it.....until today. I was watering the lawn, listening to my music (no, it didn't get wet), when all of a sudden it stopped working all together. Well, at first i saw some "Voice Recording" thing i had never seen before and no matter what i pushed, nothing happened. I couldn't even turn it off. I tapped it on the side, then it began working again. I decided to shut it off and put it in my room. Later when i went back to it,it wouldn't turn back on at all!!! Even though it's battery was charged, i decided to plug it into the charger where, once i plugged it in, i got a screen that said:
"CREATIVE ZEN
Copyright (c) 2004
Creative Technology Ltd.
All Rights Reserved"
And thats how it is currently: Nothing at all happens when it's disconnected from the charger and i try to turn it on. When connected to the charger, i get said screen, but thats it. No music, not even the blue backlight or the blue blinking light on the power button indicating that it's charging. :smileyindifferent:
Can someone tell me what's going on/how to fix this? We have been getting unbelievably hot weather here in So. Cal and i have the feeling that the hot temperature may have something to do with this. I've tried keeping the player in the coolest place in the house (besides the freezer) which would be near a fan so it could be in a cooler place, but even leaving it in such place for a couple hours isn't helping me.

Hey buddy
same problem with me. The zen got little moist due to rain, after that it froze at the 'Creative screen' that too comes on when i connect it to charger. I disconnected the battery, it worked for a while but it is back to same position now. It dosent responds to resetting pin... nothing happens it is dead. Only when i disconnect battey and connect charger ... give it a big whack it works for a while then hangs again.
Still trying my stuff on it. Otherwise i will format it and reload the firmware later on.
if u get any solution let me know on [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
thankx

Having Trouble with my Zen V P

Hey!Well, I am posting this question here and I really hope someone can help me. Yesterday, my MP3 player ( I have a Zen V Plus) froze while it was playing some songs. No big deal, I came to the support website and with the help of one of the tutorials I was able to make it work again. The problem I have now is that somehow?(I guess that from one song I have in the player) it shows the singer's picture. It is okay when you are playing a song by Eminem for example, and you can actually see the album picture in there. However, it is not cool anymore when you are playing a song by Wisin & Yandel, for example and you see a picture of Enrique Iglesias, or you are listening to Hinder and the picture you see is the one of Juanes. How can I fix that?Thanks!

Sounds like you need to re-tag your playlist/albums. Have a look in the help files for your player re Album art and tagging.
There is some good software out there that can tag. eg MP# Tag clinic http://www.kevesoft.com/

Updated to usb 2.0, having issues with the zen microph

basically, put a new usb 2.0 card thing in my computer and when i plug my zen microphoto to it i get a message saying that i need to install the drivers for it, which i can't find online and don't have the cd for anymore.
My Zen Nano Plus works fine on it and i didnt have to do anything, any ideas what i can do?

I had the issue and read almost every blog on the net in order to fix it.
RESTORE the iPhone as a NEW phone, and the issue will be resolved.
I read that pictures on the phone itself can also be a cause of the issue so deleted all of the pictures off of my computers before restoring the phone also. (not much of a pic guy)
My camera is now fine. PLEASE email me if you have issues, i know little tweaks can help/hurt an issue, so feel free to ask me

Trouble with Creative Zen

Hi
I've been checking the topics for a problem similar to mine but haven't found any. I've had my creative zen for about 3 years now and have loved it. However, in the past few months I've been having trouble with it. While playing a song (either while laying stable in my car, or on my arm while working out), the player will just randomly die. I try to turn it back on, and have no luck. I then reset it by using the back of my earing, and somtimes it will start back up, and other times it won't. If it doesn't start back up right away, I'm able to plug it in to charge, and it will usually let me turn it back on after charging for a few minutes. I notice that its never on empty, and there seems to be at least half a battery level left. Some days the player will die randomly several times, or other times it will go days before I have a problem with it. I have tried to reboot it, and clear off the entire player, upgrade the firm-ware, and still have the same issue. Any ideas? Is it toast?
Thanks!

Is the player recognised in the Device Manager, do you see it listed there (perhaps as an unknown device, or with an exclamation mark)?
Check out this knowledgebase article for some useful tips if the player isn't recognised, it'll take you through them step-by-step:

For people having trouble getting their Zens to be recognis

If you're having trouble getting your Zen up and running, seriously, go to this thread. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=8429?So many people have gotten their Zens to work by using these methods, and the thread should've been stickied on these boards long ago.

Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, the fixes are for those V that are not recognised when plugged into a usb port. You should take the advice from altheus:?Simple solution that should work...
Download Windows Media Player from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx
With a program such as WinRAR or WinZIP extract the file "wmp-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe"
There should be a few EXE files:
wmp.exe ::: Windows Media Player Program Files
wmfdist.exe ::: Windows Media Player Distribution Pack
umdf.exe ::: User-mode Driver Framework (THE IMPORTANT ONE!!!)
Run them in this order.
Uninstall the previous MTP driver that has failed, and then restart.
Connect your Zen and it should detect and work perfectly!
PS. You don't need to have install the Validation thing for this to work. This seemed to be the one that helped most people. If that doesn't work, go to the Microsoft and look for "issues with Zen Potarble devices". It will tell you how to rollback to WMP0 (if you are using ) so that?it will recognise the V, and then reinstall MP, or just stay with 0, your preference. P.S. For this fix, you will?need to extract?the files of WMP Beta . Beta 2 and Final don't have it.Message Edited by Ozzey on 2-08-200606:54 PM

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection. Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor. Reloading SL from DVD repaired. But SL update lost ethernet again. Will Lion Fix?

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

I am having trouble with some of my links having images. For example, Foxfire has a picture that looks like a small world. The links in question are blank.

I am having trouble with my links/websites having images attached to them. The place where the image should be is blank. For example, AARP has an A for its image. My storage website has a blank broken box where the image should be. I forgot I had trouble and had to reset Foxfire, this problem occurred after that reset.

cor-el,
Mixed content normally gives the world globe image, unless you are using a theme that uses a broken padlock instead. Maybe the gray triangle means invalid? I came across that in a few themes (what is invalid was not made clear), but those were not using triangle shapes to indicate that.
I came across that mention in one of the pages you posted:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Site+Identity+Button
I cannot attach a screenshot because I have not seen a triangle of any kind in my address bar.

I have an Ipod Touch (4th Gen) and I am having troubles with my downloads from purchasing music from the Ipod. On my downloads icon in the Itunes Store (on Ipod) there is a symbol of how many songs I still have waiting to download, but they wont download.

I have been having troubles with this for months and am extremly tired of not being able to download my songs. I bought these songs off of Itunes as well, so I really hope i can retrieve them. I do not know where to find a personal apple support person yet, does anyone know where to find one on the website?

iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

In mail, I am having trouble with my cursor. It doesn't "land" where I think I'm putting it. It usually "lands" somewhere below where I "click" it to be.

In Mail, I am having trouble with my cursor. When making revisions to what I have already typed, the cursor doesn't "land" where I "click" it to be. It seems to land somewhere below the spot I click on. It seems to have a mind of its own.
