Mp3 player not recognised

I use a creative mp3 player. it would show on the desktop and in iTunes, but now doesn't. It shows in the USB list as connected but I cannot access it or click and drag songs onto it anymore. I have only done updates and nothing else.
How can I get the Mac to pick up the mp3 player again?

it doesn't show up in disk utility/repair .just the hard drives connected.
it only shows the creative nano plus in About this Mac , More Info ,USB devices .
will keep prodding,
THANKS TOM

Zen mx 16gb player not recognising id3 tags.

,zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags.I recently bought a zen mx and so far can not get it to recognise over half of my mp3's id3 tags. All of the files are drm free. All of the unrecognised files will play but get stuck in the unknown artist unknown album catagory on the player. I have tried retagging the files in several diffrent tagging softwares and upgraded my player to the newest firmware and nothing seems to work. I had a creative vision m 30gb before I had this player and it never had this problem. I contacted customer support but they didnt seem to have any idea what an Id3 tag was and offered no relavent advice other then upgrade your firmware witch was upsetting to say the least. If anyone has any idea how to fix this that would be awesome. I feel like I just wasted almost 80 dollars.

0Re: zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags. It's just aggravating because I used to talk the company up all the time. The older creative zen's where awesome. They played every file that I had with the exclusion of open source formats like ogg witch is understandable because I'm sure that there is not much demand for that.
I wouldn't be half as upset as I am if I felt like the support people where offering decent suggestions or even an explanation of what may be wrong. I mean are there certain id3 tags that are not recognised? At least try to explain why it may not work to me so that I can fix the problem without having to re-tag every cd that I have purchased since I was fourteen. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from them again until I see that the quality of there products is getting better. Maybe I should write a review on Amazon to warn people away, after all the majority of the music that its having problems with was downloaded from Amazon.com.
Btw if your haning the same problem as me kid3 is a program that will retag your files to this players satisfaction. Not that helps if you have a large volume of music but its at least something.

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Not using itunes.
You can use the music on other music players that support the format that itunes uses.
Consult the manual for instructions on how to put music on the player.

Mp3 Player not showing?

I have a cheap mp3 player (not iPod) that is not showing anywhere when I plug it in. Prior to installing Lion, it showed up no problem (on desktop, in disk utility etc) even when using the keyboard usb port.
Any suggestions please?

It may not be compatible with Lion.
Check the manufacture website for Lion compatible updates.

Mp3 player not work

My son got his mp3 player for christmas and has been very pleased with it. However it is now coming up with the words ' file system error ' on the display. I have tried to format it but it is just not being recognised on my computer. When I plug it into the usb hub it says it has found a high speed usb device plugged into a non hi speed system device so it has obviously found it but then when I go into windows explorer to try and format it , I get the message please insert a disc into dri've F. I have been onto your website and looked into uninstalling the drivers and then trying to install them again, I get as far as device manager but then am not sure which usb hub relates to the player , Any ideas ?

Hi,
Are you using the Creative Formatter program? The original TX did not support formatting directly from Windows Explorer and you need to use this program. Upgrading the firmware adds this support (for FAT 6/FAT 32) but I'd take this one step at a time and get the unit working using this utility first.

Mp3 Player not detected in Vista ,I need drivers for Creative Zen Micro in Windows Vista 32-b

If anybody Have a solution for install my zen micro or can help me , please ... I have to buy another Mp3 Player ? This have a solution ?Thanks ,i hope that you can help me. Regards

I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

FM Radio in MP3 Player Not Work

The FM Radio Autoscan function of my newly bought 256MB MuVo TX FM MP3 player does not seem to be functioning properly.
During the st time I performed autoscanning, the player was only able to register a few radio channels. Channels like 93.3FM and 92.4FM were missing. Hence, I tried a second time. Again, some of the channels were missing after autoscanning was completed.
I brought the MP3 player with me while I travelled on the bus and tried listening to the few channels and realised that the channels which I could receive on my player depended on the region the bus was in. At some places, all the preset channels were available for listening. At certain areas, only 2 preset channels could be heard.
After I went back home, I decided to try my luck at the autoscanning again. This time, I was not able to get ANY channels registered on my player. I have tried umpteen times but to no avail.
Are the radio and autoscan functions of my player faulty?

fischeri,
That is normal for auto-scanning. Auto scanning depend greatly on the reciption of the radio signal. If the signal is not strong enough, the auto scanning will not lock and register the station and will continue to scroll to the next strongest available signal. Can you manually lock the preset station?

Simple mp3 player not working :( action script error

Hi Everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone can help with this problem:
I am currently designing a website and creating a simple mp3 player with an on / off function but doesn't appear to be working. I am getting this error:

1083: Syntax error: end of program is unexpected.

I have uploaded a zip file containing the images and FLA file. I'm wondering if someone wouldn't mind taking a look for me and telling me how to fix this problem:

Thanks

Hi Davies,
On line 19 don't break the line, Flash will do it for you... other aspect that I would recomend is to not put the '$' on the variables. In AS2 variables don't need to be declared as such (although it's a good policy), instead of the '$' put the 'var' word, as you already have in those variables.

MP3 player not playing as music is marked as 'Protected conte

Hi.
I am the happy owner of a Creative MuVo player. I have copied some music to the player, but not all tracks are played.
I believe its because some tracks have been marked as protected content (can be viewed by selecting properties).
All tracks have been ripped from my own (original) CD, so I should have the legal rights to copy to my MP3.
Some time ago a got a new laptop and copied my entire music library from the old one to the new one. It seems as though I only have troubles with tracks ripped on the old one.
Could someone please advise my how to remove the protection flag so I can use my MP3 player instead of ripping all my CD's again?
Thanks in advance.

allander,
The protection license might not have been transfer over to your new pc from the old one and unfortunately the protection can't be removed. Did you try transferring those audio files through Mediasource or Windows Media Player to the player as these protected files need such application for transfer.

MP3 player not recognized in OSX 10.4.x

I just bought a new mp3 player and it's not being recognized by my mac. What can I do? The specs of the mp3 player are here: http://oracom.co.kr/english/product_870.html
Is there any way to have OSX recognize the device? It says that it's good for OSX up to 10.3.5. Would that be because of the FAT/FAT32 file structure?

Does it not show on the desktop at all? Are you connecting it to USB2 on your Mac or by any chance by a USB1 socket for a mouse?
Actually searching through Google I've found a way to hook it up, and I can transfer my files. Thank you. My only issue now is that all of my songs come up with mirrored .files. I have files like "songname.mp3" and then a second one called ".songname.mp3" that show up on the mp3 player, but not in finder. Is this a result of copying my music over from the iTunes folder via finder? Is there any way to automatically have the songs copied over with iTunes similar to using an iPod? Or is that just an iPod-only feature?

Mp3 player not recognized. (Vision: M 60

Hello.
I am using Win XP MCE. I just installed all the drivers that came with the CD. I had the MP3 player unplugged as instructed, and connected it at the point it asked me to. It is plugged into a port I know works, because it is the one I used for my old MP3 player.
Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Are you getting the following error message?
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I've been getting this message for months and nothing seems to fix the issue.
I even tried
http://mycreativefansite.googlepages.com/myzenchecker_home.html
And their program said I was running the latest version of XP, but for some reason the drivers won't recognize.

Creative Zen Nano mp3 player not showing on ext monitor

I am having a problem getting an mp3 player to show in the finder when my powerbook is closed and I am working off an external monitor.
I have a Creative Zen Nano 512 mb which shows on the desktop of my powerbook when the lid is up. Once showing I can close the lid and it will still show on an external monitor. If I eject and plug it in again, it will not show. I can restart the powerbook but I cannot connect the mp3 player to a closed powerbook and get it to show up on the external monitor. I can only get it to show in the finder when the powerbook display is functional. It will show on both.
Anyone have info on this.
How can I get this MP3 player plugged into the USB port, to show on the desktop viewed on the external monitor when the powerbook is closed lib?
Thanks

Harmz,
I think you may get better info if you post on the Powerbook G4 12" Discussions. (I think you just hit the wrong button.)
