  • Don't buy 1GB Zen Nano Plus!

    After trying countless attempts to resolve the issue of my Zen Nano Plus turning off by itself after 0-5 seconds, I have decided to return the product. I did as their Customer Tech Support said ( install the firmware, hit the reset button, hit the reset button and then try to install the firmware...), but nothing worked. I had owned the mp3 player for only day, and was never able to listen to any of the music I downloaded onto it. Yesterday I purchased a Samsung player, and hope to have better luck with it.

    Ok... Maybe If you woulod have asked help here some ppl like me would have helped you! I bought one (Zen Nano Plus Gb) for my mom and it works perfectly. I found out that if you are using the compact mode in the creative media explorer it makes a mysterious problem with the mp3. This fonction transfers songs into wma format to save space. But I don't know why, when you use this, your mp3 close for no reason after 0 to 5 seconds. What I did is that I remove all the transfered song and I transfered the original version (in mp3 fornat) to the mp3. To my surprise it worked perfectly!!!
    Creative could you please check your software or the firmware compatibility with that fonction!?
    And by the way, next time you got something that doesn't work as it should, remember to ask on the forums, it also helps!
    Thanks

  • 6th Gen Nano turns off on its own

    My nano is turning off on its own after a few minutes of play.  Any advice?

    Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
    Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
    Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
    Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

  • Zen Nano Plus 1gb turns off .

    Hi
    I've had my player since September 2005 and have NEVER had any trouble out of it until 2 days ago. The problem...When I am listening to a track and use the wheel to back it up and listen to it again or the track before it, the player shuts off. I've been reading the posts here and realize I probably need some new firmware but which one do I need. Also my daughter has a 52 mb player that started doing the same thing.
    thanks in advance

    August22,
    The new firmware for the Zen Nano Plus is available on the Downloads page, it was released on the 25th of August. It includes this fix:
    Resolves the issue of your player (battery level full) turning off, while playing a 28 kbps DRM-protected WMA file. </LI>
    Please note that (as it states in the details fiel) this firmware does remove your player's FM recording feature.

  • Creative Zen Nano Plus won't turn on!!!!Please h

    For some reason, my 256MB Creative Zen Nano Plus that I've only had for three months has suddenly failed to turn on. I have changed the battery several times so I know it isnt that, but when?I press the power button, the 'creative' logo comes up for about 2 seconds with the blue backlight before switching itself off. When I plug my player in my creative media organiser on my computer through the USB though, it connects absolutely fine and I can upload my media files, its just literally turning it on that is such a problem. I can't explain why its doing this, the only thing I'm thinking of is that it was in my handbag for about 6 weeks without being touched so I'm not sure if something in my bag could've damaged it's But I'm worried because I'm not sure if my player is under warranty as?I don't have the warranty sticker on the back of, only a number and a bar code?Can anyone possibly help as I've been everywhere to try and get it fixed but no one knows whats wrong!?Thank you?Laura.

    Can you still connect your player to your PC? If so then you can reload the firmware. Go to the Support, Downloads page for the Nano Plus and download the firmware from there. Make sure you click on the Show Details link as that explains how to carry out the reload.

  • Zen Nano Plus: Line in recording from micropho

    I've got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and was very happy about its ability to encode MP3s from the line in jack.
    Since the integrated microphone is not very good for recording (especially loud music) I tried to connect a microphone to the line in jack. Unfortunately I had to recognise that it doesn't record anything no matter if "Sync Track" is on or off.
    I'd be glad if someone can tell me what exactly the problem is. Do I need some kind of special microphone (I read somewhere that it has to be "pre-amped", whatever that may mean) or is the line in jack designed for just recording from devices like a CD player? Help is very much appreciated. :-)

    Big bump.
    I did some research quite a while ago and thought that I should report the results for people also having that problem.
    A line-in jack is not a microphone-in jack. The difference between them is that the former is not supplied with electricity, so it can't power simple external microphones on its own. Thus, a real microphone-in jack is needed, though none of the Creative products has one included. You will still need a pre-amped microphone to get recordings with proper volume, though. A good and cheap solution is the Archos Stereo Microphone that comes with a preamplifier including volume adjust (http://www.archos.com -> Accessories -> Audio accessories).
    Microphone-in jacks can be found for example in the iri'ver iFP-7** and iFP-8** series. Since this players are discontinued and newer models don't have these jacks, it's kind of hard to still use that feature.

  • Zen Nano Plus Playb

    When I turn off my Zen Nano Plus, I want the player to resume from where I left off (usually in the middle of my audio book), but it goes back to the beginning of the file. It only started doing this recently... Is there a setting I can change so I can listen from where I left off? Thanks, Dave

    It should work every time but sometimes doesn't. Others have noticed that it is more likely to resume where you finished if your pause the track first before shutting the player off.

  • 1GB Zen Nano Plus player stuck in Radio mo

    I have a GB Zen Nano Plus player. I use it every day, have since I got it 2 yrs ago. It has the radio feature. I switched it to radio the other morning and now it won't switch back to my mp3 music. When I push in the scroller to go to the menu, it takes me to the Radio menu and locks up. Won't scroll up, won't scroll down, can't up or down the volume, can't even turn it off... I have to remove the battery for it to quit. I have no clue what's going on. I connected it to my computer and formatted it....didn't help. Went here online and got the firmware update drivers....didn't help. I can still load music onto and play it while it's hooked to my desktop, but I can't use it any other way than radio when I'm using it solo. Any ideas?

    Make sure to reflash the firmware in recovery mode (see instructions on Creative's support website), and also let the updater format the data area. If that doesn't work it's probably a hardware failure, I'm afraid...

  • Mass Storage Drivers to save Zen Nano Plus...[HALLELUJAH SOLVEDDDD!

    Okay, my Zen Nano Plus was working fine until about two days ago, when it just started shutting off. The battery was full, and I switched batteries three times, but it still wouldn't stay on. I looked through the forums, and there was advice to update the firmware. [I had ..0] I downloaded it [.3.03], and ran it, but then it said that it couldn't find the hardware for the software [or the software for teh hardware?] and I didn't know what to do, but the computer [or whatever] decided to disconnect the Nano from the comp, so there was no firmware on the player at all. And now it won't turn on.
    So I looked on the forums for THAT, and it was advised to download the Mass Storage Drivers, so I did. Only I don't know if I'm supposed to double click the icon and execute the program before I do the whole "push play before connecting the player to yor computer and continue holding play for ten seconds" thing, but I did, and I don't know if I was supposed to do, and somebody please help meh because I love my Zen and if he dies I am going to die as well. And be really bored during my classes.
    Also, I am running on Windows ME.Message Edited by rubyandrest on 0-29-200708:4 PM

    Dude...i have been a loyal customer of creative for years....i just updated my firmware on my nano plus and my zen shut down....no reset...nothing. i sent an email and i recieved a generic email about paying for contact help. they have lost a loyal customer and i am telling all of my friends to never buy a creative product. mine was fine and then i saw a firmware upgrade and thought, "wow, this would be great". then after installing it is useless. no help from creative at all. i have always had soundblaster cards and creative speaker systems so i figured id get their mp3 player...now i will never patronize their company again. go get an ipod. i am on payday! they will probably delete this post and deny me access to the site after this, but i am a marketing management major and this is a big No No for companies that wish to stay around. Creative will be gone in a few years if this is the service they offer.

  • Zen Nano Plus: weird hissing sou

    Hello friends! I checked the FAQ and did a bit of searching but I couldn't find any resolutions to my problem. Hopefully someone can help me out here, if it is possible. (Also, sorry if this has already been asked before, I must have missed it!)
    So, I recently got a zen nano plus and it works like a charm, except for one thing. I saw this mentioned somewhere before but I can't remember what the user did to solve this problem. The thing is, whenever the backlight is turned on, there is this weird hissing sound. As soon as the light turns off, it disappears. I hope you know what I mean... is there any way to fix this? It's really annoying when you are listening to a slower song and are changing the settings at the same time etc.
    I updated the firmware but I am still having this problem... (see, I donno if that would actually fix such a problem, but at least I tried!)
    I appreciate any help I can get

    "The thing is, whenever the backlight is turned on, there is this weird hissing sound. As soon as the light turns off, it disappears."
    It is most noticeable with 6 ohm earphones and a low volume. I use 32 ohm earphones and rarely if ever hear the noise on my n200(basically the player as the Nano Plus). You could try 32 ohm earphones, or else if the noise really bothers you you could set the backlight time to zero and disable the backlight. A firmware update won't change things, as it is due to the hardware, not the software.

  • I have a Creative ZEN Nano Plus

    Can someone tell me how or direct me to the advantage on the Line In connection. How do I plug in to and transfer music from another CD or device to put music on my Player ?TC

    I'm a bit unclear on how you do direct Line In recording, as I don't have a Zen Nano Plus- my brother does. We tried it a few times, but found that it was much faster to rip the CDs on the computer and transfer from it, rather than wait for the Zen Nano Plus to copy the CD in real time.
    However, the Zen Nano Plus manual gives these instructions:
    Synchronizing MP3 encoding
    If you are encoding songs from a CD or MiniDisc, enable Sync Track (SYNC) so that your player will encode the songs from your source as separate tracks. Your player will automatically stop when the last song is played. Sync Track is enabled by default.
    In the MP3 Encoding screen, press the Scroller.
    Scroll Select the Sync Track option and turn Sync Track on or off. When Sync Track is turned on, appears at the top right corner of the MP3 Encoding screen.

  • ZEN Nano Plus free

    Well, I have the following problem:
    Well for some reason my ZEN Nano Plus keeps showing the Creative logo, i just can be turned off by removing the battery. I tried the updater from the website (already using latest firmware). But whenever i connect my ZEN with the computer and try to access it my explorer freezes for at least -2 minutes or freezes completely...
    Plz help!

    I'm having the exact same problem with my Nano Plus, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. I contacted technical support and they told me to download the Firmware update and gave me these directions:
    Zen Nano Plus Firmware Update:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=2720&dlcentric=9423&Product_ Name=ZEN+Nano+Plus&OSName=Windows+XP
    To install this firmware upgrade, do the following:
    - Connect your player to your computer.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file.
    - When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
    - Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to your computer's USB port.
    - Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player to your computer.
    - Release the Play button when the "Find New Hardware" dialog box appears on the computer screen.
    - Follow the instructions on the screen to install recovery drivers for your player.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file and follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure to select the "Format Data Area" option within the Update.
    However, at step 6 my computer did not recognize my player with it being on and neither did the Firmware. I responded to Technical Support and told them this. They said it seemed like it needed repaired or replaced! Even though there is a -year warranty, there is only a 3 month labor warranty, which means if you send it in to get fixed and it has passed the 3-month labor warranty, you have to pay a $24.95 diagnostics and handling fee. If you're in this situation, they said the best thing to do is try to exchange it wherever you bought it first. I hope this helps!

  • Zen nano plus trade

    ok so i baught a new zen nano plus and after about 3 to 4 seconds it turns off. i am tired of this and i need to know if there is a way to send it back to get store credit because i do not want to deal with another nano. i want to put the store credit towards a zen micro. if this is possible please tell me how to do it

    zachmo,
    Store credit is done through the store you purchased it from, if this is their policy. You'll have to check with them directly if they can do this for you.
