Media Explorer not recognizing Ze

I just recieved this Zen V as a gift and I installed it onto my computer but I recently had to restart the whole system so there isn't anything on it so I figured that I would install it onto my boyfriend's computer or the computer that is at my house (mine is at my Grandmother's). However, on the two later computers, Media Explorer doesn't recognize that it's plugged in so I cannot do anything for my Zen V. Any advice?

I have KINDA the same problem. The Zen Media Explorer doesn't reconize my device and I don't know HOW to make lists etc in the MediaSource Organizer (is there any tutorial f?r it or something? i need lots of help there.. how to make lists and how to get em into the Zen).
I've had to copy / paste music to my zen manually.. which takes longer than necessary and I can't make fancy lists etc.. Help would be very appreciated :/
Oh, and I have version 2..02 if that makes any diffrence.
Thanks.

Micro media explorer not recognizing zen micro, organizer and Windows does.

I recently purchased a Micro 6, did all program installs. etc. and could never get it to work properly, exchanged it for another, had all the problems to get it recognized by Windows etc. and through this site, managed to get compatable with zen organizer and windows media player0, but the micro media explorer refuses to see it! I checked the registry and noticed that the two units are registered there (usb), could that be the problem, and if so ,how do I correct it's
It seems to me that I uninstalled the first unit, that this not clear the registry of it also?
Thanks in advance.

Media GO not recognizing Xperia S

Since the last update (6.2.B.1.96), Media Go stopped recognizing my Xperia S, and it makes PC Companion to hang. So, I cannot make backups, nor syncs nor modify the media inside my phone. I can do nothing. It's not the first time I face this problem. I used to have this kind of issues with my Sony Ericsson W508 also. Is there any known issue?

Good morning,
This morning, Media Go asked to be updated to 2.5a that I do. When reading the post of Eliote87 I have tried to wait to see If the phone is connected later.
I close Media Go. I unlock my Xperia S. I connect my Xperia S to my computer. PC Companion recognize the phone. Windows asked what to do and I answered "Transfer files with Media Go". Media Go opened without connecting the phone.
2 minutes later, the Xperia S is finally connected to Media Go.
I disconnect my phone from the computer and I let Media Go open. I unlock my phone. I connect my phone to my computer. PC Companion recognize the Xperia S after 10 seconds. Windows does not ask me what to do with the connected device (Media Go still running). Media Go does not recognize my Xperia S.
2 minutes 30 seconds later, the Xperia S is finally connected to Media Go.
I disconnect my phone from the computer and I let Media Go open. I open Windows Media Player. I unlock my phone. I connect my phone to my computer. Media Go does not recognize my Xperia S.
7 seconds after connection, both Windows Media Player and PC Companion have connected my Xperia S.
2 minutes 30 seconds after connection, the Xperia S is finally connected to Media Go.
This means that our problem is solved or must be read as "Media GO not recognizing Xperia S below a fair time of connection around 20 seconds".
In addition, why Windows 7 does not ask me what to do with my device when Media GO is running ? Is it due to Media GO ?

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

APE12, burned dvds not recognized, bd-r media does not recognized

I have a problem with burning with my PE12, I have a win7 64 bit PC, with following
BD Burner: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS40 from LG
BD-ROM: iHOS104
Problem 1:
=========
All DVDs I burned with PE12 are not recognized on my HiFi BD-Player, ONKYO-BD-SP809
the same DVD is NOT recognized on the BD-ROM in the same PC
the DVD is RECOGNIZED on the burner (see above) in the same PC
Media is 8x DVD-R, and ONYKO and BD-ROM of course supports this type of media and I used the same medias in the past (Verbatim)
Problem 2:
========
I thought, ok, so I burn a BD, I have BD-R media, which worked fine with pinnacle ...
I made a sample project (1min length) and try to burn it, but the burn menu shows the right device (F: in my case and the right name), but it tells me Status: there is no media inside! Allthough the media is inside the BD-Burner.
I am getting mad about it ... anybody can help me out?
P.S:
Burner, BD-ROM, ONKYO and PE are updated to the newest firmare/versions.
Best regards top the community

Thanks for the follow ups.
Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that will not play back on the ONKYO player....
If you take the VIDEO_TS Folder from the DVD disc that will not playback as DVD-VIDEO on DVD in your player and look inside it, do you find a file named VTS_01_1.VOB or possibily VTS_02_1.VOB? If so, can you play that file back on one of your computer players? These are video files.
Can you take the Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and play it back on the computer with Windows Media Player or VLC player?
Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. It should be generated again after you open a new project. Work with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited. The try another burn to DVD, followed by play back on players of interest.
Any progress up this point? If no....
Premiere Elements 12 - Blu-ray disc not being recogized by Premiere Elements 12 burn dialog Status.
This one we will save for the next step. Next step, I am suggesting a
a. Deactivate the program from an opened project Help Menu/Sign Out
b. Uninstall (Control Panel route)
c. ccleaner run through (regular and registry cleaner parts)

d. reinstall with antivirus and wirewalls turned Off
We will be watching for your results.

ZEN VISION M SERIES MEDIA EXPLORER NOT WORKING ON WINDOWS 7

Recently installed the much hyped windows 7. Installed my zen vision m. Everything is ok except media explorer is not working from the shortcut on the desktop or i can't find the exe in the creative folder file to get it started. All i get is "this filse does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.please install a program or,if one is already installed,create an association in the default programs control panel "
i can access the music & picture files as a hard drive folder.
Anyone any ideas?

My experience has been that the original software that came on CD with the Visionn M is not compatible with my new 64 bit Windows 7 OS but that the updated version availabloe for free download on the support site does work just fine. My remaining frustration (which appears unresolvable) is that unlike the original, the "new and improved" media explorer from the website?will only rip to WMA format and does not offer the MP3 option that was the core of the original program. I think this is incomprehensible and reprehensible for a device that is sold as an "MP3 player". I did not intentionally?buy an expensi've "WMA player" but thanks to Creative, I guess I ended up with one. I have bought literally a dozen Creative media players over the years for friends and family but this makes me so angry that I will never buy another.

Iomega Home Media drive not recognized through Aiport Extreme

Using ethernet cable, my new Iomega Home Media drive is recognized when connected directly to my iMac, but is not recognized when connected to my Aiport.
Any ideas?

The AirPort Extreme wants to see a drive that is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). My guess would be that your drive may be formatted for Windows?
You can reformat your drive by connecting to your computer and using Disk Utility.
Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
You may also have documentation that came with the drive that furnishes directions for reformatting the device.

Zen Micro Media Explorer not working

Recently I purchased a new PC. winxp. My zen worked just fine on my old PC. I installed my zen and the media explorer. When I launch the Zen Micro Media Explorer everything is grayed out. I cant click on anything. Windows media explorer shows my zen, but the Zen Micro Media Explorer is just all gray. I have FW version .3. I figued I would upgrade the FW and when I try upgading, it says the zen is not plugged in. I need to edit my playlists and I cant get into the media explorer. help!

I'm having exactly the same problem with my Creative Zen Touch 40 gB - a couple of months ago I had to re-instal windows and manage to re-install MediaSource and all the Audigy and Creative Zen drivers and they all worked together nicely. I've now upgraded the motherboard and processor, re-installed windows and cannot get mediasource to see my device. I've tried intslling the plays-for-sure software suite and it says it can't see my device and to check that the firmware is updated to PFS devices, which it is. I've tried the updated drivers, updated mediasource, uninstalled the device and re-installed it and nothing works. I'm running Windows XP Professional which has been updated with all the critical updates and also runs Media PLayer .
I know this doesn't help the previous poster, but if anyone else can help, that'd be fab.

Zen V Plus - Media Explorer not detecti

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been posted somewhere along the lines. If it has sorry.
Anyway, my problem is I have my V plus attached to my PC I have it turned on and it says it's docked.
But my Media Explorer and other various Media Sync programs won't detect it.
It shows up in My Computer as a Portable Device but that doesn't really help me that much.
I can transfer files onto it the old fashioned way of dragging and dropping but i'd really like the convenience of the Media Explorer.
If anyone could provide me with a solution to this I would be quite greatful.Message Edited by Konis on 04-6-200702:24 PM

Portable DevicesIn my PC here was MCT devise (something that, not remember)I delete it !!!Than start Creative Media Explorer and after ?Disconnect Zen Player and connect again.Now Explorer find Zen Player and in Portable devices I have Creative Zen V plus?Enjoy

Zen Micro Media Explorer Not Detect

I just downloaded the new ZM FW the other day. I just noticed today that my Zen Micro Media Explorer doesn't detect my device. Any ideas?

No, it's not that version as such.
As mentioned you need to go to the download page (Nomadworld.com downloads). Select the Zen Micro. On the resulting list of files the one I mentioned should be listed. This is what you need to download as it has specific MTP support.

Zen Micro Media Explorer not sorting alphabetica

I just had this problem ever since I installed the 2.20.05 firmware. I backed up all my music in a folder, I chose detailed view and usually when I click on those buttons on top that says Artist, Size, Name, etc. They arrange it from A-Z or Z-A. Zen Micro Media Explorer didn't do this for me, I clicked on Arist and everything gets mixed up. Also I have lost my Genre in all of my music during the process of backing up. It made it harder for me to sort my music back together.
And the weirdest thing is that Creative Mediasource properly sorted my music from A-Z just like how it looks like under Windows Explorer. But under the Zen Micro Media Explorer, it still doesn't display correctly.
Any reasons why this is happening?

^^ I also have the same issue, but only with one of my two microphotos. I first noticed it when I was trying to update my firmware. My first player worked perfectly, the second one always tells me that my player is disconnected (yes i've jiggled the cables and such). It then tells me that my player is not compatible with creative media explorer. Trouble is both players had the same firmware as i bought them at the same time, but one doesn't work while the other does.

[Solved] After update, media keys not recognized.

After I updated today, my play, stop, forward and back keys work, but not recognized in xbindkeys -mk. My vol up, down and mute do not work and are not recognized. I also cannot ctrl+alt+backspace to restart x.

Add this
Option "DontZap" "false"
to the "ServerFlags" Section in the xorg.conf file.
Zapping has been disabled by default with xorg-server 1.6
Thanks a lot.

Media Explorer not open

I just got my ZVM and all the other bundled software works well but when i try to use the media explorer i get a windows error (DEP error). I've uninstalled and reinstalled and downloaded all the updates still nothing, can anyone please help
Yes i've searched the forums for the answer to this but it couldnt find it
Thanks

From the Nomadness FAQs, linked from this board's FAQs, an item on connection problems that applies to your situation:
"In Device Manager with the Zen connected delete it from the device listing. Physically disconnect the Zen from the USB cable, reset it, then reconnect to the PC to see if it is detected properly."
If that doesn't work, read the FAQs and try the other things listed there and in the Nomadness FAQs.

Media Explorer not finding correct location

Hi, recently i bought a external HDD, i have moved all of my music onto this so it doesnt sit on my computer. To reach this dri've i have it mapped to my network and access it through "network places".
However when i open the media explorer and try "add media" i can't add my music as it doesnt allow you to select "my network places" as a drop down option.
could someone suggest how i would go about doing this? so that i can select the music off my network and put it on my zen
Thanks in advance

ahhh, that would be it. for some reason before when i mapped it it went through to my network places, so i went through to the external hard dri've as part of the network then mapped it, thank you works perfect now.
think i it was just me being stupid but thanks again
