New computer: MediaSource won't recognise Zen Visio

So the computer is reading it - it'sIS in my computer. But, media source 5, which I downloaded as I don't know where the original disk went, doesn't see it. So, I haven't been able to add any songs since I switched pcs...
Any advice would be great...
Cheers
Pete

Hi,
Let's presume that you're using XP or Vista.
Try downloading this applet, Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer and the filename is CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36.exe.
Let's see if that hel

You need the serial number from the older version from which you upgraded.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or maybe:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Still having problems with loading cs6 onto new computer. adobe won't contact me?

I have posted this before and I did what was suggested, but have not had any luck with adobe support.
Problem: Mac laptop died. I have cs3 and upgrade to cs6 on the laptop, backed up to external hard drive. i'm trying to install now onto my new computer, but can't load it from the external hard drive, so downloaded cs6 upgrade from adobe from my products. i know i purchased and downloaded cs3 from adobe website, but it doesn't show up on my page. so when i download cs6 and it asks for my serial number, i put it in, but then it won't unlock the software because it's not detecting any other software (cs3) on my new computer. i was told that i had to contact adobe tech support, which i have done multiple times, but have not gotten any response back.
any suggestions?

Oh that's awesome!
Yeah, I have done similar things, that's why it came to mind lol
You're welcome, even though I wasn't a whole lot of help on this issue...
Have a great evening and feel free to return to the forums if you need any other assistance.

New computer it won't reconize it!

I just got a new computer and i moved all my music files etc over to the itunes program.
But now it won't reconize my ipod! Help!!

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

New computer, library won't transfer to iphone

My old computer crashed and I upgraded to a new one running windows 7. I backed up 25 gigs of my old music catalog and restored it to my new computer. Loaded everything into itunes and authorized the computer. Everything works fine but it won't let me manage my iphone. It won't let me drop any new music on to it or delete current iphone songs. Has to be something simplet but I can't figure it out. Help! I need a new playlist!
iphone 4, everything is up to date, it will sync apps, just not music

Try getting another hard drive, when one of my computers crashed, i drained its info into another drive, and hooked it up to the new computer, and i didnt lose any information either.

New computer, ipod won't sync

My old iBook's hard drive had some water damage, so I got a new MacBook. But now my ipod won't sync with my new computer unless I erase what I already have on my ipod. How do I get all my non-purchases off my ipod before reformatting to my new computer?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would , relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

New computer, ipod won't download songs

I just got a new computer, and I downloaded the Pantera itunes essentials, but they won't go on my ipod. How do I fix this? Thanks.
Also I have some Maiden and Priest songs on my ipod that aren't on the new itunes, how do I get them on there? Syncing doesn't work.

OK, your seem to have a more basic problem. The touch and iTunes communicate via a piece of software called the Apple Mobile Device Services. It sounds like this is either not loading or is disabled on your computer. The best way to fix it is follow the directions in this technical article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

New Computer--iPad Won't Sync

Frustration with a capital F.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a new desk top. All my iPods are doing fine with the transfer of my iTunes library to the new computer. I thought everything was fine with my iPad. It synced a couple of new TV shows and some music, but when I plugged it in tonight, after downloading iTunes 10. whatever, it wants to erase everything I have on it. It says it is synced to another library. I had problems with my iPhone also . . . .
How do I get my iPad to re-recognize the only library it has ever known and start syncing again?
Thanks!

You could restore it from a backup, assuming you have one from a previous sync

NEW COMPUTER - PASSPORT WON'T POPULATE OUTLOOK CONTACTS

I think I ran into this the last time I got a new laptop and can't remember how it got rectified! I hope someone can give me some help.....
I downloaded OFFICE 365 (OUTLOOK 2013) and BLACKBERRY LINK & BLEND on my new laptop. I'm pretty sure I set the snyc up properly but the contacts in my Passport will not populate my OUTLOOK contacts. Although, I did put a test contact in OUTLOOK on my Laptop and it synced it with my Pasport, with no Problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I have done wrong? I have a sneaking suspicion that it is something to do with the BYOD aspect of the BB OS.
Thanks In Advance....
Solved!

What was the old OS and what is the new OS ?

My computer is unable to recognise Zen Micro as a dev

My PC adruptly fail to recognise my Zen Micro whenever I tried plugging into the USB port, I tried changing to other USB ports on my PC but still the problem persist. Tried restarting the PC and stuff... doesn't help.
I can't even upgrade to a newer firmware as the PC can't even recognise my device. Also tried reinstalling the driver, however it doesn't seems to help.
I believe the problem crop up after my sister tried downloading her zen micro with a new firmware, however this doesn't make sense as the program only update the firmware on her zen micro and should not change the PC configuration, my drivers or other stuff...
This is killing me as I cannot upload new songs to my player, anyone that know how to resolve the problem, please advise...
Thank you for your time and effort.
Regards
Ivan

It could be any number of things... There was a post earlier that mentioned "hanging" when connected to the pc... the resolution was to change the USB card... there are some USB connectivity issues... but you said that the problem stemmed from when you changed the firmware, or rather from when your sister changed the firmware for her zen micro to playforsure which usually requires you to change the creative media explorer for the micro to be recognized by the new software... The easiest way to try and resolve this, if your player was connecting fine before, is to do a system restore... that way in theory, all the programs that you have installed that could cause compatibility problems will be rolled back, at least that's what they say it does, but in my experience it's a hit and miss thing. So the thing that you should try is a system restore. Your computer should have set a restore point from when you installed the creative media explorer software, as it usually sets a restore point every time that you install a new program. So, I guess I would recommend that you go into system restore, which I believe is in the programs/accessories/system menu... and then restore your system to a point earlier than when you installed the creative media explorer software... If your player worked before, then in theory, it should work again once you make that change. Then your sister can try and reinstall the new firmware, and hopefully you can find a method by which you can both install it at the same time... I don't know how you would do this... but it's just my best guess at an informed response... better ideas will probably follow.

WMP and Mediasource will not recognise Zen Xtra with Playsfors

?I, like many people apparently, have been attempting to sync my Creative Labs 40GB Zen Xtra (firmware 2.0.03 - Playsforsure enabled) ) with my music files on my computer using either WMP0, or Mediasource with the Playsforsure Plugin installed. Even Explorer would be cool- but nothing recognises it.
?The problem I am having is that when I plug in the Zen, windows recognises the player as "MTP Media Player" and offers to start WMP for me, but when I get into WMP it doesnt see the Zen. The device shows in Device Manager under "Windows Portable Devices/NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra" but nothing else on the system recognises it- not Explorer, not WMP, now Mediasource with the Plugin. ?I have attempted to run "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players" but unfortunately everytime I try it says it cannot detect the player and will not install- It?says[color="#ff0000"]"Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. [color="#ff0000"]Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected."
After?installing the correct driver itself it comes back and asks me to plug in the device and when I do and click next it says
[color="#ff0000"]"Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. [color="#ff0000"]Please ensure your portable device is connected and switched on.[color="#ff0000"]?[color="#ff0000"]If your player is not enabled with Microsoft's PlaysForSure,[color="#ff0000"]please ensure that Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware is properly installed before running this Setup program."? The correct firmware IS installed according to the "about" screen on the player itself.
I have gone thru the steps to edit the permissions in the registry under "enum/usb" as suggested in another thread by Daniel-CL, and still this does not fix it. Then as suggested by [color="#ff6633">SSR, I?tried reinstalling MediaSource first, followed by the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players.
(Still wouldnt let me install it)?
Oh, and I tried hooking it into my XBox 360, which Microsoft says will recognise a PlaysForSure enabled Zen Xtra. It wont recognise it either. So basically the player just sits in Device Manager and taunts me. It's there. It pops up when I plug it in. When I try to run a program that should recognise it, the little arrows on the player even light up for a moment to show communication with the program. But alas... nothing. I'm going crazy here.Did I miss something?

I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
2) Select "Properties"
3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

I have my itunes library backed up onto a cd-dvd...when I try to add files to my itunes library on my new computer it won't let me...what am i doing worng?

what am i doing wrong?

Have no clue because the question makes no sense.
What does having the library backed up on CD/DVD have to do with trying to add media to the library on the computer? Or are you trying to say you cannot update the CD/DVD's with new content?

My brand new mac mini won't recognise the password I set two days ago

the question says it all -- in the Apple store I specifically set one pass word for the computer and one for my Apple id. I'm utterly certain of what the computer password is (and yes, I've tried the Apple id one and various others) but it's not recognising it.

Restart your Mini and press Command-R until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. You should then be booted into your recovery partition. Alternatively, you can hold down the Option key right after you hear the startup chime to bring up the startup manager to choose the recovery partition.
Choose Terminal in the Utilities menu at the top of the screen. Type in resetpassword. That will bring up a GUI interface where you should be able reset your password. You can use the same password you used to set up your computer.
If that doesn't work repeat the above instructions and reset your password as well as your home folder ACLs and permissions.
The same directions can be found in this CNet tip.
