PC does not see my ZEN micro mp3 pla

Hello
I have a ZEN micro mp3 player and a Laptop wich runs windows Vista with SP.
At the moment i am in Finland and the software disc is in Holland so that's why i can't install the normal way.
When i try to instal either firmware or other software/drivers it keeps saying my player is not connected.
I used both front and back USB ports and also connected the player to a different laptop with windows XP but it was the same.
Pleas help me, Thanks
Joost

I see now that i have an ipod 2. I will have to point that out to the Apple guy.
itunes says I have 6.6GB (of 6.8) in audio. I have only aobout 300 songs and nothing else. I took 3+GBs off the audios when this all started and it Still says I have 6GB audio - did not even see the change.
And - even the ipod itself (setting, about, capacity) says I only have 5 MB free. (which was why I thought it might be the OS)
Other is a mere 0.22 GB.
And it still won't let me add anything even though I took off 3.3 GB (and was playing all those various audios just fine until this started on Sunday when I tried to add an album).
I ran across this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2574693?start=0&tstart=0
apparently it is an old problem (for some people on their iphones or ipads) and no one has an answer. Thus my stopping in at Apple today and I guess I'll need to go back. Online they don't want to talk to me without payment as the ipod is not under warrenty now. But this really seems to be doing something Apple is doing wrong and not fixing. It's turned my $250 ipod into a useless thing.
Sorry to rant - very frustrated....

Zen micro mp3 pla

Hi everyone.
Im about to buy a , but i need to know one thing.
I would just like to know if songs that i have on my computer that i downloaded from p2p will transfer to a .
PS: Edited to remove service name. Please do not post service name of p2p software.Message Edited by Jason-CL on 05-7-2005 02:25 PM

Downloading copyright material over P2P is illegal, so it depends on what you're downloading. P2P isn't inherently illegal per se.
Also it depends what format you're downloading. The formats supported by the Micro and MP3 and WMA (not Pro or lossless).

Creative Labs Zen Micro Mp3 Pla

My player is stuck on the Creative screen--tried the reboot process and get nothing--is there a way to reboot other than taking the battery out and replacing while holding the on off switch--Please Help!

loading time? do you mean the time it takes to recharge? on USB i think it's around 3-4hrs. i bought the AC adapter recently, i love it. it was around 25$ at walmart and that cuts the charge time by around /2 or so. you can also run it on AC without the battery so it'll last you longer.

Media Source v3.30.21 does not see "Z

I've downloaded Media Source v3.30.2 and installed it but it seems as if he does not see the Zen player.
On the right screen appears the "Music bibliotheek and My computer" but not the Player itself.....to transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player
The wright drivers are installed (Windows sees the Nomad Zen Player wen connected)
What's wrong?
Thx.

You also need to install the MediaSource plugin for your Zen. Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.

Upgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!?

JUpgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!
st off, I was having issues with mp3's transferring to my zen touch, it would say file cannot transfer, invalid format or something of the like.. The creative audio converter would not allow the file to be converted as it said the source was not availble, all odd as the files worked fine on my computer and were mp3 format. I did get them to transfer after downloading another 3rd party converter, I wanted to get past using another program though so I updated to media source 5, along with firmware updates to most recent for the zen touch.
Once I had updated it would not recognize my player, I opened version 3.xxx whatever and it did recognize. Thinking maybe it has an issue with both being installed I unistalled the old version. Same problem, still does not see my player. I upated the driver for the player as well, and my computer now could see the zen touch instead of unknown usb device, media source 5 no go still at this point. I opened windows media 0 and it saw the player and I could transfer files, but the lay out and editing cababilities are limited.
Basically I want to know what to do get this thing detected so I can use media source 5 to organize my files. Someone please help me.

N Oh how I love the beauty of forums! Fantastic. So you know the fix went for my issue here, I had already upgraded the zen/jukebox driver to version 2.0 to no avail, and did not get the play for sure firmware as it says all data will be lost, but I did upgrade with the other option on the support downloads section before as well to no avail. Thanks to?GuyGraham, after I installed the app update for Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer it works once again!! I just do not see how this file isn't included with the media source 5 application in the first place. Either or thanks a lot you guys, problem sovled!

Equium A60 does not see a recording drive

Sadly more help is needed with my Equium A60 following on from the earlier fault of the missing CD\DVD drive. Thanks for the help earlier, I did get my cd drive back in 'My Computer' and it does read cds..
Today I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD writer is not seen. I get a error message saying you don't have a cd writer.. I have CD Creator 6 which I have been using ok before, that too does not see a recording drive on my laptop.
I can no longer format a blank cdr or drag and drop on a cdrw formatted previously.
Any ideas anyone.?? Thanx.!!

Hi,
in 'My Computer' right-click on the DVD drive and select properties. Check if on the record tab CD-recording is activated.
Bye

HT1320 ipod nano 3g from EBay does not see my downloaded itunes but my pc sees them when connected to the nano

I can connect the ipod, the pc recognizes it, can download my itunes and see them at a latter date, they are all mp3 files. The ipod knows that the right amount of merory was used (3.4 G) but does not see any music. When I got the ipod the menue was funnyI was able (I think) to do a reset only after one of the Utube videos suggested toggling the lock swith several times, thid in supposedly refurbished device.. Is there such a thing as downloading original software to the nano? Also, the itunes were on a 1g device. Could my itunes software on the pc be out of date for this device? If so, could that be fixed? My android (unfortunately trashed) had no trouble accepting the download and playing them. Thanks, Bob

Sounds like your iPod's software is corrupt. Connect it to iTunes and restore it. This will wipe all data from the iPod, reset all settings back to their defautls, and install a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device.
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Then resync all of your music back over to it.

N8 video editor does not see my songs/videos

Hi
after buying my n8 a month ago I started exploring the video editor and immediatly a problem appeared:
I open a new project to create a video and the video editor
does show e some videos captured with the device, so I choose a video
, trim it and so on, add some transitions and texts in between and
here the proble begins - I go to "choose a music for background" and the
list of song availiablefor adding is empty, that means the N8 does not see
any mp3/ogg/acc etc files which are supposed to be added to the video film i'm making=(
However it is possible to make an audio record with the audio recorded and such file can be seen
as a possible for background music in the video-editor.
So, what can I do make N8 video-editor to see files from my music collection stored on the phone so that i could
use my songs in y video-films created on MY N8?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the solution is found:
if your videoeditor does not see your mp3 and video files and thus you cant create adn edit movies do this - place all your music files into Sound Clips foldr and not in the folder you usually like to store them in; place video files to your Video Clips -> thus the video editor will see all the files.
Happy **bleep** new year everyone...coz being on new year in a hospital is sucks=(

Creative Zen Micro MP3 - BIGGEST piece of junk I ever bough

I bought a Zen Micro MP3 player about a year and a half ago. For the last few months I was having trouble with the headphone jack. It became loose on the circuit board that it's attached to. All I need is a new circuit board and the unit will work fine.
I contacted the company and they told me that they dont sell parts to the public. Then they told me to call their "Creative Tutor" telephone number in order to diagnose the problem and also to be able to get an estimate and to be able to send it in for servicing. In other words, it has to cost you $2.99 to get an estimate of the cost to repair the unit and also pay that in order to be able to send the unit in for servicing.
At this point, with all the problems that they are having with the headphone jack in this unit, dont you think they, (the company and their tech support center) would know what the problem is ? Also, why should we have to pay a service charge in order to be able to send the unit back for servicing ? This is ridiculous !!!!!! :angry:
Unless the company want to acknowledge the fact that their units are defecti've and make some sort of decent arrangement with the consumers that purchased them, I will NEVER buy another one of their products and suggest the same to all my friends and business associates.
The purchase of this MP3 player is the biggest waste of money that I ever had. I paid over $200 for it and the unit it totally worthless at this point. Thank you Creative for being there for us !!!!!

I have EXACTLY the same problem. In fact I posted it just 2 days ago under the thread "I will never buy Creative again" and they removed my post after 24 hours. Guess they don't like critizism. The guy actually blamed the user for not following their recomended procedure of only using and armband or a beltclip and that it was the customers fault for putting it their "pocket". Nice to alienate your customer base. The service tech told me that the manual tells you this, which is BS because the company supplies a NECKSTRAP for the love of...so if the headphone jack is so weak it can't be used outside an armband of a beltclip why supply a neckstrap?!
When all was said and done it would cost a MINIMUM of 00 bucks to fix it and closer to 25 with the stupid 2.99 cost to diagnose....great deal for a 89.00 player. This is the worse customer service ploy I've ever heard. Even if the thing is out of warrenty, I've had it about a year, at least fix it for a reasonable price since it is a well documented problem. A problem the tech denied.
I work for a large Hollwood company that gave out Ipods as Christmas gifts last year to our clients. The company gave out close to 500. I was going to recommend the Creatives for next year but guess how likely that is?

Are zen micro mp3s compatible from any downloading prog

Are creative zen micros mp3 players compatible with music from any downloading program.
p.s what do you think is nicer the black zen micro or the sli'ver i can't make my mind up.

. Most pay per song programs are DRM WMA. Which is compatibal with the zen micro (May be with others im not sure because i only have the zen micro). If you download music then you will get it (most likely) in Mp3 form which also works with The zen micro. However itunes uses ACC which is not compatibel but im sure you can convert the music into normal mp3 (not sure how). So chances are your music will work with the zen micro (unless u use OGG vorbis or something weird like that)
2. I have a silver Zen Micro--Looks more professional and cool.

HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup. I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out. I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it. All I need are my contact

Sorry for short novel I am writing. I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
So, here it goes. I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie. The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty. A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup. The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie. I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore. So I attempted another restore. All was well at this point. I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source. A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer. I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes. Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh). Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck. The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine). We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive. Ok, this is where it gets weird. We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files. Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought. The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders. When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored). This left tech support and I both scratching our heads. My service issue was escalated to the next level. I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through. As usual, apple disappoints again. I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s. I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files. Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas? I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

My computer does not see my printer

Hi: I am having a problem with my HP Photosmart 4500 printer. My computer does not see it. I have a USB connected to it, have uninstalled and installed the software two time, dowloaded the latest update and nothing. Add to that, I can not connect it by WIFI. WIFI on the printer is on but again, it's no where on any of the screens. The only variable I can think of that has changed has been the router I got recently from AT&T. Everything else works with the WIFI but no computer. I'm running 10.7.5. I have read the install instructions and nothing seems to be working. The one thing I do get from the HP install disc is a message reading the printer isn't recognized but there are no updates in support. OK, what am I missing here?

Try these steps to uninstall the current software using the HP scrubber and then reinstall using the current HP driver available through Apple.
To do so, perform the following steps:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ and then click on “HP Uninstaller”
2. Next click “Continue”
3. Highlight the device on the left pane.
4. Press and hold control+alt+command on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on “Uninstall”.
5. After you do this, you will see a pop up that asks you if you want to uninstall all HP software. Please note, that in doing this, it will remove any other HP printers that you also have installed.
6. Click “continue” and wait for the program to finish.
7. After it completes, reboot your computer.
Once the computer is back on, do the following steps:
WARNING: This is will delete all of your printers.
1. Go into “System Preferences” and then select either “Print & Scan” or "Print & Fax".
2. Right click (or control + click) on the rectangle listing your printers and then select “Reset Printing System”.
After you have reset the printing system, let's make sure you have the most recent HP driver package installed.
You can do this two ways. First, check for any available HP Update's by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update. If there are any updates available, they should show up here. However, if the printer is connected by USB, it will not show any available updates. The other option is downloading the drivers from Apple's website.
You can download it here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg
Once you have downloaded the driver package and completed the installation, you will want to plug your printer back in (if you were using a USB connection). After the printer is plugged back in, go into your print settings under System Preferences > Print & Scan. To add the printer, click the plus sign. You should see your printer listed here. If not, click "Add Printer or Scanner." Click the name of your printer and then click "Use:” box. Make sure that says the name of your printer and not AirPrint. If you are using the printer wirelessly, make sure that the printer "Kind:" is set to Bonjour or Bonjour Multifunction. Click "Add" down in the bottom right hand corner.
This will add your printer back using the most recent HP print driver available through Apple. Let me know if this helps resolve your issue or not. If it doesn't, let me know I will see what else I can do.
Best of luck,
Kyle

My mac does not see my printer

Is the printer physically connected to the computer with a cable, or is it wireless. Did you install the printer drivers from the manufacturers web site, for your specific OS?

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
