My zen creative 4GB doesn't start up.

My zen creative doesn't start up and my laptop don't recognise him either. What can I do? Reset don't help etc. When I put him on the USB ,the screen goes very quick on and off. Thats the only sign he gives.

The first ting that I saw when I reset my Zen was that the screen stopt to go on and off when I pushed on the resetbutton. After that the screen went on and of again very fast!
I'm sorry if I didn't get what your saying. So you mean to say that the screen turns on when you press the reset but will turn off immediately? Will it show the Creative logo? Leave your player connected to the computer for at least 4 hours and try turning it on. Make sure the laptop is not on a hybernate mode.

Zen Creative 4GB Volume in my Car Questi

When I plug my MP3 in the the Aux Outlet the volume on the car jumps from 8 to 49. This should be blasting me out of the car but it just normal volume. My car is a 2008 Prius if that makes any difference.
When I unplug the MP3 player the volume goes back to around 8.
Ed Rossier?

Any device that has a cable which connects to the headphone jack of an ipod will work with a Creative mp3 player. The best method of connecting is with a cable to the aux in on the car stereo, although some people have commented that the volume in their car doesn't get loud enough that way(it depends on the car). Another way to connect is using a cassette adapter if your car has a tape player. If not, the third option is using an FM transmitter(they are illegal to use in some places such as the UK though).

Where is the driver for the Zen Creative 4GB mp3 play

When I installed everything on the CD and plugged the mp3 player into my Vista computer it said 'looking for driver' and never found it. I have not been able to find the driver for this type of player anywhere.
It worked fine on my brothers computer, which also has Vista. He got his computer after mine, and has Athlon processor as opposed to my Inter Core 2 Duo. Can't see why that would make a difference.
here's the walmart link, so there is no misunderstanding about the player I am using:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=7789723

I think Creative should add the Sleek Photo to the player list in downloads and add the latest version there (I have version .0.0e). I ordered my player in December (for Christmas). There are a few issues that I have addressed in my "A few annoyances with Zen Sleek Photo 20GB (Request)" thread.
Sadly there has not yet been an update to fix the artist listings etc. as mentioned in my thread
I got in contact with another Creative Zen Sleek Photo user who also li'ves in Switzerland and has the same problems (tracks not been sorted correctly even with correct ID3 tags, which work in many many Windows applications).
By the way, sadly the Sleek Photo gets a load of dust under the screen too, unless you are very careful. I have been unable to remove most of the dust even using compressed air! I would rather not have to get it replaced because of this (unless Creative makes a slightly new casing model to prevent dust under screen) as I would probably end up paying rather a lot for postage (it's going indirectly through another company)
I hope there shall soon be a firmware update addressing these things,
Thanks for any response to this,

Problem with Zen Creative

I bought my player the last summer and I have the white screen of death since two months. I have already read the post of the white screen, but I want to know if that is a problem of all player Zen Creative 4gb/8gb/6gb or it happens only to some.
Please answer my question, im thinking to bring it back, but if it is a problem of all the players, i will not trouble to send it. I really like the player, but with this problem i'm very upset with Creative.
Thank you for answer <img title="Smiley Wink" src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-wink.gif[/img] alt="">

Some of my friends have been experiencing similar problem with the Zen Creative but that does not necessarily mean there is some problem with the software. You should double check before taking any step.

Creative Zen Micro 4GB isn't recognized on my PC

Hello,
I bought a Creative Zen Micro 4GB?couple of years ago (3-4 years ago) and lost it year ago. I found it now and wanted to start using it but I have a problem. I bought a new laptop which is Vista and my pc doesn't recognize the player when I plug it in. It recognizes it and the bubble comes up at the tray, but it doesnt recognize it and says it can't find the driver and that I need to install the driver. However, since my pc can't recognize it, I can't install a driver or do anything with it since it isn't recognized by my pc. I read lots of posts and solutions to them, but none of them help my problem. In the device manager, it is apperead with a yellow explanation mark but I can't reinstall the driver. I also tried the cleanup and reboot but that also didn't work. Can anyone help me? (I also tried this on my old pc which has XP but it had the same problem.) My Pc is Windows Vist 32-Bit Operating System and Service Pack . By the way, when i plug in my zen micro, the window comes saying 'found new hardware' and I am suposed to locate a place for the dri've and it says i should insert the disc that came with it. However, when i insert it nothing happens and in the end it says it failed. I really need urgent help. Thank you in advance already.

My Zen Neeon 5gb doesn't turn on correctly, only appears CREATIVE on the scr

I need help because my Zen Neeon 5GB doesn`t turn on the right way. I was listening to music the one day before?and when I tried to turn it on it only appears on the screen: CREATIVE and the menu doesn`t appear on the screen and I can`t listen to music and it doesn`t turn off until I reset it. But you can listen to the hard disk running. I can use it like an USB device but I can`t listen to music. i tried with the upgrade from firmware but appears:
Device detection failed! Please power off it to generate system file.
Device upgrade failed!What happen is`t death?

Have you tried anything in the recovery mode on the player. If not i would go to creative knowledge base and lookup "recoverymode." I would try the clean-up and format first.

Why do my creative cloud app don't start? I can't uppdate my apps, haven't been able for weeks. I have a fast internet, but the app doesn't start. It sucks!

Can you give us more to go on. Your OS? Which Creative Cloud app? Any error messages. You can download the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool and restart from scratch if you like.

New firmware but Creative software doesn't detect Zen To

I installed new firmware (a story in itself) but since then creative software doesn't detect my player. It works fine through Real player (but slow) and Media player but I preferred the creative software. I have installed updated software but still the same. Not much joy as yet from Creative and I have tried troubleshooting which involves sync-ing with Windows media but it just froze most of the time and was incredibly slow. After rolling back Media player 0 I re-installed but same thing happened.Anyone have any ideas?

I have had the same problem. I've tried to update the firmware and now thw PC software does nor recognise the zen. Tried everthing and in the process of seding it back to creative. Anyone any ideas. could be cheaper to buy something else that works longer than 4 months.

Windows 7 64-bit 8GB RAM doesn't start after installing X-Fi drivers

I have Windows 7 64 bit, 8GB RAM for a few months. After inserting an X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series (S/N MASB046A83R0772D; OP BN 06SB046A00005 Rev A) and installing Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 dated 26 Jun 09. The sounds plays OK, but after rebooting Windows doesn't start, with a CorruptRegistry error. I have installed Windows from scratch, but it only works until I install the X-Fi driver and reboot. Please help. I have searched the internet and found no solution to my problem besides a Wikipedia article that X-Fi has problem with 64-bit Vista with 4GB RAM or more.

Hi, I am also running windows 7 ultimate 64 with the same sound card and am using the july 5 driver. It works but i cant use the creative control panel as i get a black screen on start-up and when i uninstall the contol panel windows functions normally. I may have to go with the onboard sound to get all 4 speakers to work. I have 6 Gb of ram on a gigabyte X58 Mobo.

Well, my Zen Microphoto doesn't have touchpad backlight and around panel backligt.
Only lights are on display, and small one on the hold button.
Is that normal, can I switch them on somehow?!

Hi Gonzalogeradin,
Creative cloud do not need a serial number. It will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership. So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
I don't know which operating system you are working on so I am giving you some steps for Windows and MAC OS:
   Windows:
   In windows 7 navigate to following location:
     /windows/system32/drivers/etc
   1. look out for "Hosts" file
   2. Open it with notepad
   3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
   4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CS6
   On Windows XP navigate to following location:
   \windows\system32\drivers\etc
   1. look out for "Hosts" file
   2. Open it with notepad
   3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
   4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CS6
   Mac:
   1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
   2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
   3. Remove the entries and save the file
   4. try again launching any product from CS6
Let me know if it helps.

Zen 8G This device cannot start code 10 and firmware update problem

I have read the threads in the forums on the same problem that I am having. It seems that there are few solutions for this and the ones that have been posted I have tried. Basically the problem is this, I made the silly mistake of trying to update the firmware on my Zen 8G since it was listed as a critical update. I downloaded the firmware but it failed and took me to the recovery screen. Instead of working with this, again silly me, I tried to use the Creative recovery tool. This downloaded the firmwary and started rebooting the player. At this point it just hung. I left it on for about 3 hours and nothing happened and it wouldn't turn off so I hit the reset button on the player. Now when I connect it to the computer it recognizes it as a creative zen but if I try to download the firmware the software says the player is not connected when it is. When I check the device driver, even though it shows it as a creative zen it says "This device cannot start code 0"? I have the latest Microsoft device driver loaded and it still doesn't work.
I have tried this on two different computers, one using XP and the other using Vista. I get the same problem with each. It appears to me that the problem is not really with the device driver but somehow with the firmware. However, I am not an expert at this stuff.
If anyone could please help I would appreciate it. This was a gift for my wife for the Christmas of 2007 so it is just out of warranty and the service people won't help.

GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
. While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

Creative Cloud Does Not Start - Help!

If anyone from Adobe is watching this. I was considering switching from Aperture to Lightroom CC. I was able to install the trial and it works fine. However, all of a sudden, Adobe Creative Cloud App will not run. The icon appears for a moment then disappears.
I have tried almost everything listed here - installing and uninstalling, Creative Cloud Cleaner, running as root, running in a new admin account and so on. All are no goes.
I really would like to be your customer, but since I can't get live support, and I am not going to sign up only to find the paid CC does not work either, I hope you are able to help me.

Refer this link :
Creative Cloud won't launch on Mac OS 10.10.3
Still same ??
Try with solution provided in the first link I provided:
Message from Danny :
Success!
Hope this helps someone in the same situation. (This is for a Mac, OS 10.9.5)
This is what I did.
Started the computer in SAFE MODE, Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) started.
Restarted under regular user mode. CCD did not start.
Removed all login items from System Preferences > Users & Groups (I think this step could be skipped and only tried if the following doesn't work.)
Go to Library folder. Rename LaunchAgents folder to LaunchAgents_old and Launch Daemons folder to Launch Daemons_old
Create new folders called LaunchAgents and Launch Daemons.
Move all items NOT containing the name Adobe from the "old" folders and put them in their respective new folders.
Go to ~/Library and do the same thing with LaunchAgents folder.
Restart the computer and see if CCD opens. Mine DID!!!
Using the uninstall Creative Cloud, uninstall. Then reinstall CCD. (This should put new items in the LaunchAgent folders.)
Restart the computer and see if CCD works. Mine Did and I seem to be good to go.
