New Zen Sleek Connection Problem...Frustrated...Please He

Hi All,?My Zen Sleek died about 2 months ago. I sent it back to Creative and I think I was sent a new one which I really appreciate. Anyway, I hooked it up to my new computer and it is not recognizing my Zen. It makes the noise of being connected but then makes a noise that kind of sounds like it's disconnected. It's really strange. I don't know what to do. The Zen actually turned off after a little while & then I had to reset it. Any ideas what it could be? It's very frustrating as I have been waiting for so long to get it back. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone?

Zen Sleek Photo - Problems with connecting device to the comput

My zen sleek photo gives me this error message when I try to transfer nusic from Napster "Your portable device has stopped responding. To restart your transfer, please disconnect and reconnect your device. Tracks will begin transferring when the device is connected."?I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting, this does not work. I have also tried the recovery mode using the Clean up and reboot options. I am afraid to try Format and Reload Firmware, since my MP3 player continues to stop responding. I have also tried?installing Creative Zen Sleek PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 and I get this error message "Your player is not connected please connect your player."? Disconnecting and reconnecting does not work here either. I was successful in initially transferring about 50 - 75 songs from Napster. I have also been able to and still can'transfer music from cd's to my MP3 player. It?appears as though Creative Media Explorer, Creative Media Source Player and?Creative Media Source Organizer are all operating OK with my MP3 player. Could my problem be related to MTP?Any Ideals?ThxRoger Conejo

Can you transfer songs using Media Source, or Media Explorer? Yes, does not work.
What do you mean by this? Can you transfer songs using these programs yes or no?
Sorry, no I can't transfer music. You would first have to let WMP scan the folder where the songs are. Once they are in your Library section right click the songs and choose Add to Sync List. Then click on the Sync tab and click on Start Transfer and it should transfer over. After choosing Add to Sync List. Then click on the Sync tab and click on Start Sync I get this error message from WMP "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct."?Then I click More Information and get this message from the WMP Error Center?[img]mk:angry:MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\Help\wmperr0.chm::/wmedia.gif" alt="Windows Media Player banner art[/img] height="65" width="400">]C00DD2: Cannot access the fileWindows Media Player cannot access the file.

Zen Sleek - MAJOR PROBLEMS Please He

Hey guys. First post here. Me and my sister are owners of the Creative Zen Sleek (monochrome screen). They worked very well when we first bought them, but a week later my sisters Sleek would not turn on, would freeze on the Creative and Zen Sleek screen, and make weird noises.
That one was exchanged promptly at the store we purchased it at for a new one. From then (December) till last week, they had worked great. My sister's Sleek had problems yet again. But this time, it wouldn't even get to the Creative or Zen sleek screen. It would just make weird noises. I was pretty apalled at that. Then a week later, the same exact thing happens to my Sleek. I've tried everything with both of them. Resetting via the bottom pin-hole, charging them, etc. I don't understand how all of them have broken. And yes, they have all been treated very well, not dropped, disconnected from the computer at the right time, etc.
Somebody please give me some advice, I have no idea what to do. I don't want to get new ones, and then have the same problem happen again within a few months. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED mine when it worked, it seemed heads and tails above the iPod. Please help.
-Brian

Update:
Both my sisters and my Zen Sleek have died. They pretty much won't function at all. If I actually boot it up, and go to play a song, the player will just freeze after a couple of minutes. When I go to recovery mode, I cannot clean the disk, and if I can, it will freeze again. I've re-uploaded the firmware twice already, and the same thing happens. What can I do? I can't accept defeat, and buy a new player, because I have no money. I've babied the player, and have only dropped it 3 times.

Zen micro connection problem. please he

Hey all,
So my 5gb zen micro had the headphone jack problem and i sent it back for replacement. I've just got it back today and tried to load songs into it but my zen micro could not be detected by the computer. My previous zen micro was version .0.03 (purchased in december 2004). my new zen micro is version ..0.
please help, thanks!

what error message to you get, does the micro think its detected, is it charging and all that. that firmware will let the computer detect the player in the same way as your old one.
have u looked in device manager to see if its a problem device?
basic suggestion try to work out where the problem lies, test it on another usb cable, another usb port another computer. try and find out where the problem lies, then its easier to help.

Zen Sleek Connection prob

Hey all.
I've had my Zen Sleek for about a year, and aside from having to reset it sometimes, it hasn't given me that many problems.
So, today I went to go put some new songs on it, and the player would not connect. My computer made the noise that it usually does when I connect something, but it didn't say "Docked" on the screen of the player, and I wasn't able to click anything in the media explorer.
I did a disc clean up on the player, and reset it, and tried all of the USB ports on the computer...and nothing. Help?Message Edited by mandimoo on 08-4-2006 03:57 PM

I have Windows 2000 so this means I "can't" buy Zen Sleek Photo because it requires Windows XP?
Or is it possible to use Zen sleek photo in Windows 2000 somehow. I don?t need WMediaplayer (0) or Creative MediaSource, they are not so important in use I think.
Can I install drivers to W2000?
(I?m from Finland, sorry for bad english. Hard Rock Halleluja!)

Zen Sleek Touchpad problem - scrolling down acts like a scroll

Yes, a strange problem I ran into today. Everytime I try to scroll down using the touchpad on my Zen Sleek, the cursor moves up instead. It's like the whole touchpad can only move the cursor in one-direction, up. Even if I try to use the rapid-scroll, the cursor just moves up rapidly
This happened yesterday, when on one bar of battery, my Sleek, around the afternoon froze while starting up and I could not restart it because I did not have a paperclip on me. After I get home hours later, I charge my Sleek since the battery died. And, now, today... I am at this rather strange problem.
And, my Sleek hasn't given me problems since I bought it a year ago besides the occasional lockups on one-bar of battery.

Creative Zen Sleek Photo and Zen Sleek
. Detach the Zen player from your PC , and ensure that the Zen Sleek is turned off.
2. Connect the power supply to the player.
3. Hold down the Play/Pause button while inserting a paper clip into the Reset hole
underneath your player, beside the data/power connector. Keep on holding the
Play/Pause button while you release the Reset button. The Rescue Mode screen will
then appear.
4. After the recovery mode has started, release the Play/Pause button
It will display the following options.
Clean Up
Scans the player and removes invalid links from its music library.
Does not affect music files themselves.

New Macbook - Airport connection problem

Hi All, wondering if someone can help.
I have just bought a new MacBook (yesterday) and have been trying to connect to the wireless network that I currently use with my Powerbook.
I can connect the new MacBook to the Airport Express to play AirTunes and access other computers on the local network, but cannot access the internet.
I am able to access the internet from my Powerbook on the same wireless network, and not sure why a brand new mac cannot access the internet via the same connection.
Thankyou for any help
MacBook Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There have been hundreds of posts on this forum and others regarding the latest batch of MacBooks with Atheros chipsets in the Airport Extreme Cards, which are 802.11n ready cards, currently running in b/g operation only.
We all are hoping for an Apple firmware/driver update, that will hopefully remedy the woeful inadequacy of connectivity with these cards.
It's too bad you don't have access to the router, as you could try updating the firmware.
I originally had quite a lot of difficulty with my new MacBook and connecting to my current network, so I'll list off a couple things that I tried and hopefully one will work for you.
-Turn off interference robustness if it was on.
-Install (or reinstall) this update if you have a Core 2 Duo MacBook->http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportupdate2006002.html
-Try and add the network manually in your System Preferences->Network->Airport settings. Choose Preferred Networks, and then the '+' button, add the network in that way. Maybe your MacBook will smarten up after that.
-Reset PMU and PRAM: Turn off your computer, and take out the battery. Flip over your MacBook, and hold down the power button for 5 full seconds. Restart, and before the startup chime hold down CommandOption+PR at the same time, until your MacBook reboots a second time, then release the keys.
-Drag com.airport.preferences.plist to the desktop from the root Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder and restart, then try to connect to the network. If you are successful, trash the file, as it was re-created on boot. If this fails, you can replace the file from the desktop.
Hope the above steps can help you in your quest to connect. Please write with what worked or didn't work for you, as there are many visitors in your same boat, unfortunately.

Zen Sleek Harddisk Problem

Hi All,
This is the first time I've ever encountered this and it has me worried. The past few times I turned on my Zen Sleek it went into recovery mode. I figured I would do a disc cleanup, but that doesn't seem to be working. It sat for /2 hour without saying the disc had been cleaned. Anyway, I went to reload the firmware and then I ran into the harddisk problem. It won't let me reload the firmware and I can't get out of recovery more. I've shut down, rebooted, and paper clipped a dozen times & I'm still in recovery mode. Any sugesstions? I've only had the thing for 9 months and I've never dropped it. I would be a real shame and very disappointing if it died already. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

To be honest, you've already lost all the data because the dri've it's on has failed. Kinda like how your data on a CD is basically gone if you bust the CD in half.
As for why the dri've died, lots of things can kill a hard dri've. Excessi've vibration, shock, ESPECIALLY drops while the unit is on. And possibly the #2 hard dri've killer: jogging with the player. Or maybe it was a dud, it happens, that's why we have a warranty.
Gi've Customer Support a call, they'll want to do some troubleshooting to be sure, and then they can set you up for service. You can also email in if you don't have time to call, on the support page of this website.
Good luck!

New Mac Owner, connection problems...

Hi,
This past month I bought a new Macbook Pro (The 2.5ghz 15" one.) and a iMac (The 20" 2ghz one.) Lately I've been getting connection problems where the connection just randomly drops every 3-10 minutes.
The router is 2 rooms away from the MBP and its in the same room as the iMac. I've only known of one connection problem with the iMac. The MBP drops constantly.
My router is a Linksys WRT54GX2 v2 with the latest firmware. (1.00.08)
Before I had the Mac's I had a Sony Vaio FS920, and it would never drop a connection.
What I've tried so far:
_On the router:_
*Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings:*
Basic Rate Set #2
Transmission Rate Auto
CTS Protection Mode Disabled
Auto Channel Selection Auto
Beacon Interval 50
DTIM Interval 2
Fragmentation Threshold: 2306
RTS Threshold: 2307
Preamble Type: Long
Network Density: Low
Compression: Disable
Concatenation Auto
*Wireless > Wireless Security:*
Security Mode: WPA/WPA2 Personal
WPA Personal: Enable
WPA 2 Personal: Enable
Encryption Algorithms: TKIP+AES
*Wireless > Basic Wireless:*
Wireless Network Mode: MIXED
Wireless Channel: 6 - 2.437Ghz
Adaptive Channel Expansion: 2 - 2.417Ghz
_On the MBP:_
Airport is on the top of the connection lists
The SSID is on the top of the conenction list
Did the CommandOption+RP twice on reboot for PRAM.
Can anyone help me out? It seems the only thing that is letting me back online every day is the fact that I have to reset the router and the cable modem... There has to be a easier way?
Thanks,
nG.

I believe the problem you are having with dropped connections is a known issue with Leopard. From what I have read, Apple will be issuing a fix with the 10.5.3 release. Of course, since Apple doesn't publicly discuss future updates, we'll just have to see if this does get fixed.

NEW ZEN!!!! PLEASE HELP?

How Loud does the new ZEN get?!
like compared to the sansa e200 series is it louder?!?!?

Well, there are many factors to loudness. How loud the song is recorded in plays a huge part to it. Well, so far with the EP-630 earphones, I only set the volume of the Zen to 6 to 7 out of 25?when I listen at home. I do not want it to be too loud to break my ears. I find that using the stock earphones, it is a lot softer. Better earphones would make it louder. If you play through a speaker, you can adjust the volume there.

New HP Touchpad connection problem to Webos Suppport Domain

I have a New HP Webos Toucpad. I cannot resolve the startup process beyond the connection phase as the message 'Webos.Support is not found. and the prompt to try over again. So I turned the Touchpad off and now I'm here typing up this to see if I can help in resolving the webos domain problem.

Creative Zen 32GB - connection problem with 2nd PC

Can anyone help?
Have had my ZEN for 2 years now & (touch wood) it's still going well.
I want to be able to upload music from my laptop when I'm away so I installed the software & registered it without any problem. However my laptop can't detect the device.
My ZEN has just connected quite happily with my main PC so it can't be the devce. Is there a restriction against using the same device on two different computers? If not why can't my laptop detect the device?
O/S Windows XP SP3 on both computers.
Thanks

Many thanks for your response.
I have tried connecting using another USB without any success.
I think my lap top should be powerful enough - it has a 5 inch screen and I can connect my Philips 32GB GoGear without any problem.
(My Philips is my back-up in case anything goes wrong with my ZEN but I don't like it as much )

2wire connection problems, help please?

I recently got a 2wire wireless router from AT&T and I can connect it through the airport to my laptop, but the weird thing is that only Firefox can connect to the internet, but all the other applications (Safari, iTunes, System Update, Widgets, etc) will not connect to the internet, it just hangs and will not do anything for me. What could I possibly do to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot

Generally this would be the steps to try...
Reapply the The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If that doesn't work, An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Be sure to use Preserve Users & Settings.
Lastly, if you have everything you need backed up, an Erase & Fresh Install.

610 Car Kit connection problem, help please!

Hi, I have a 610 and have just switched from a Nokia 8800 to the new 6500 Classic.
The 6500 doesn't seem to want to connect first up and the always comes up with a message User 1 or User 2 not found.
It offers the 'reconnect' or 'assign SIM card' options but this means that I have to input the 16 digit code (although I have turned off the authorisation request!).
When it is connected it works perfectly!
Can anyone suggest a solution please?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi,
I just talked directly to Nokia to be told that the 6500 Classic isn't compatible with the 610!
They said I was extremely fortunate that it worked at all!!
Anyway, now I need either to 'downgrade' the phone to one compatible with the 610 or invest in a CK-15W which is compatible with the 6500!
Well done Nokia for an excellent piece of marketing - forcing people to constantly upgrade their technology really endears the Nokia brand!
