Problem with Creative Zen Touch DAP-HD0014

Hey,
I have the Creative Zen Touch DAP HD004 as listed in the subject. Version .0.03
In the "Information" part of the player, it lists it as having GB of music available, but in the menu only the 59 default classical music songs appear. (These are not knowingly mine!)
I was wondering whether there was any way to turn the player into Hard Dri've mode to retrieve these songs, or to use some sort of program to view them and put them back onto the player? Everytime I use My Computer to browse the MP3 Player, all that appears are the same 59 songs.
I hope this information can help someone to solve my problem!!

Unfortunately not since the Zen has broken whilst I am travelling. Is the Nomad Explorer possible to download as Freeware? If so I will give that a shot. Thanks for the reply.
EDIT: I downloaded a trial version of "Notmad Explorer" and I can now see 2590 Data Files. Once I download a full version, is it simple to just conver Data Files into Audio Files?
Thanks so much for even getting me to this stage! I've spent weeks downloading all sorts.

Creative Zen Touch DAP-HD0014

Hi, I have a problem with this, when it boots up it says firmware problem and boots to recovery mode. I've downloaded the firmware and am unable to update it as there is a message saying not connected. I have tried USB ports on front & rear on my PC and with different cables. Any ideas would be gratefully received!

The zen touch has to to be installed as a?WPD instead of a MTP. The process of rolling back the windows media takes out the auto to make it's a MTP.
So I suggest to the creative dudes is make a driver that loads the players as a WPD and the upgrade will work on all the players.
Everybody that lets it load as a MTP will never get the Upgrade button to work.
Very simple problem. Yes. But how do you get it to install as creative zen touch WPD. You will have to do alot of things to your computer and then luckily it will load as a WPD.
I am asking the creative team to modify the Upgrade installer to recognize the new MTP for the Upgrade installer the simplest solution. Alittile GIU programming guys.
I await the the new Upgrade installer.
PS The whole purpose for the upgrade is to be in MTP mode. Once it reboots the first time the upgrade installer should recognize the player as a MTP no matter what! Then we could hit the upgrade buton to install the firmware 2..0.
Hellloooooo

Problems with Creative Zen Touch MP3 Play

My MP3 player won't load up at all when trying to load it up by using the power button. the?only thing is it only appears with the welcome display when i put my charger on but it doesn't display anything else.
Also pressing the reset button doesn't work. any system reset methods haven't seemed to have worked.
Anyone got any suggestions that may help me

Put your ear up to the player when it is trying to boot up and see if you hear a clicking sound or a sound similar to a disk dri've going into retries. Your disk dri've may have crashed.

Hey Guys,Here is a link to instructions on how How to obtain and to install USB 2.0 drivers in Windows XP Service Pack . http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q329632?Win2000 and later have the capability to support USB 2.0, but USB 2.0 was released after XP was release, so there weren't any drivers installed before Windows XP service pack 2. Make sure you've installed all your windows updates including service pack 2. You can check if you have SP2 by right-clicking on my computer and choosing "properties", it will say on the general tab. Also the way to tell if you have USB 2.0 drivers installed is to right-click on my choose "Manage", then choose "device manager" look down to "uni'versal serial Bus controllers" and click on the + . This will expand the USB devices. Look for the word "enchanced" (USB enhanced host controller). If you see it, then you have USB 2.0 support. If not, use the link above and get the drivers. Hope this helps!?JT

Problems with my Zen Touch

Tracks seem to be jumping a bit so i did a reset and clean up, however after it started rebuilding library, a firmware problem is popping up and i've have no clue how to solve it. Resetting it just brings me right back and I can't get it to the menu for reboot/ format. Please help !

I'm having the same problem with my Zen Touch. When I press Play/Pause, it will sometimes work correctly, other times it acts as if I had pressed Previous. When it does this, it sometimes jumps to the start of the current track, sometimes to a different track. This is the most common problem, but I have also had it act as if I had hit Random. I have tried loading the latest firmware, but this had no effect on the problem. Thanks.

Zen Touch DAP HD0014

Hi I have a Zen Touch DAP HD004. I have had it for some years. My problem is I have recently had to re install windows ZP on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. The software for the player is packed away in my house in Spain and i returned to the UK? a year ago. My Laptop recognises the player and will list the tracks but I cannot do anything with them. For starters is there anyway I can copy them over?

Having Trouble with Creative Zen Touch 20G

Hey everybody. I bought me a 20G Creative Zen Touch (you know, the one where the scroll thing is in the middle of the player, vertically?). Anyway, i bought it a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty **bleep** cool. No problems with it.....until today. I was watering the lawn, listening to my music (no, it didn't get wet), when all of a sudden it stopped working all together. Well, at first i saw some "Voice Recording" thing i had never seen before and no matter what i pushed, nothing happened. I couldn't even turn it off. I tapped it on the side, then it began working again. I decided to shut it off and put it in my room. Later when i went back to it,it wouldn't turn back on at all!!! Even though it's battery was charged, i decided to plug it into the charger where, once i plugged it in, i got a screen that said:
"CREATIVE ZEN
Copyright (c) 2004
Creative Technology Ltd.
All Rights Reserved"
And thats how it is currently: Nothing at all happens when it's disconnected from the charger and i try to turn it on. When connected to the charger, i get said screen, but thats it. No music, not even the blue backlight or the blue blinking light on the power button indicating that it's charging. :smileyindifferent:
Can someone tell me what's going on/how to fix this? We have been getting unbelievably hot weather here in So. Cal and i have the feeling that the hot temperature may have something to do with this. I've tried keeping the player in the coolest place in the house (besides the freezer) which would be near a fan so it could be in a cooler place, but even leaving it in such place for a couple hours isn't helping me.

Hey buddy
same problem with me. The zen got little moist due to rain, after that it froze at the 'Creative screen' that too comes on when i connect it to charger. I disconnected the battery, it worked for a while but it is back to same position now. It dosent responds to resetting pin... nothing happens it is dead. Only when i disconnect battey and connect charger ... give it a big whack it works for a while then hangs again.
Still trying my stuff on it. Otherwise i will format it and reload the firmware later on.
if u get any solution let me know on [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
thankx

Problem with my Zen Touch, is it fixab

Okay, I have a problem with my Creative Zen Touch. This problem only just started recently and hasn't stopped. All the songlengths on my tracks are wrong. Some are like 24 minutes, but the song plays for it's regular time length and then goes to the next song. Others have really short songlengths, and just keep playing after it says there are 0 seconds left on the track. This doesn't exactly affect the was the songs play, but it's considerably annoying. I tried resetting the player and it didn't work. I also downloaded the latest Firmware, hoping that it would fix it, but it didn't work.
Additionally, I have a problem which I think many people know about and justifies the reason the Reset button exists. Sometimes when I turn the mp3 player on, the buttons all lock up, including the Power button, and won't do anything or turn off. This actually hasn't happened in a while.
I'm sorry if there's already a topic about this. Please help me!

The only time I've seen this was with a few VBR mp3's I downloaded. All the ones I rip myself are fine, so I just assume they were bad rips (they didn't sound too great either).
Are your songs variable bit rate?

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP: Big problems with my Zen Touch. (Firmware/driver issu

So here's the deal:
Last night I thought I'd finally take the time to upgrade my Zen Touch to 2. from .3 or something like that. I noticed that there was a warning saying that this was no small upgrade, and that I should back up everything I have on it.
I'm glad I did, because now my MP3 player situation is seriously screwed up, big time. During the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my Zen Touch without firmware (ok, so firmware version 0.0.0). Upon turning the device on, it boots up in recovery mode. This allows me to either format, clean up, or "reupload" firmware. I've tried all of these options, but the fact is clear that my computer simply will no longer recognize my MP3 player.
It does, however, recognize it at as a generic storage device. However, this isn't enough for me to reinstall the player's firmware unfortunately.
So basically, I can't update driver or firmware right now, because my computer won't acknowlege my Zen Touch!
Somebody please, please help.
I've already tried using the setup file from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm.
Seriously, please help!

Sort of success!
I now finally have firmware 2. installed on my Zen Touch! Yeah! I'm not entirely sure how I did it, and I'm not bothering to find out, I'm just glad I finally got it on there.
But some problems still remain. After all this fiddling with my driver and firmware and whatnot, my computer just doesn't see my MP3 the same way as it used to. Before, it was great, all I had to do was plug her in and I could bring up Zen Explorer in Windows Explorer, or organize my stuff in Creative MediaSource.
Now that's not the case. The only way I can sort of add stuff to my player now is by going into Windows Explorer, which is still more or less acknowleging my player as a "portable device". Granted, there is a dri've called "My Zen", but it doesn't bring up Zen Explorer like it used to when I click on it. Furthermore, when I go into MediaSource, I can't select it as a location, there just isn't anything there.
It almost seems as if my computer thinks I'm just using a portable hard dri've. Is there anyway I can tell it that it's an MP3 player, too?
Thanks!

Creative webcam dell studio 17 problems with creative zen

hi there, ive got a dell studio 17 with a built in webcam.
When i try to install the drivers for the creative zen, and put the disk in, a message comes up saying 'we could not find the driver software for your device'
then windows trys to solve the problem and comes up with a message saying 'this problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of windows and yor webcam which was made by creative' 'go online to download and install the update for your webcam'
however i try the website they gave me, which is the creative support page, but i cant find a built in webcam for the dell studio 17
i was just wondering whether the answer is right in front of my eyes, or if anyone else had this problem

Hello MichelleStudio!
The only thing that comes to mind to help you out here is to try to visit Dell's support website and update your hardware drivers and/or firmware. To get to your model's specific downloads click on "Drivers & Downloads" and choose the Service Tag option. It asks you for your Service Tag which is on the bottom of your laptop. Then it will bring you to a list of available downloads.
Make sure the operating system is set to Windows Vista 64-bit, as this is what your laptop came with. The important ones to update are BIOS and Chipset. But since I don't know specifically what is causing your problem, it's kind of a guessing game.
This is assuming you can get your laptop to boot up long enough to perform these updates. You said that the error said something about a driver, so hopefully updating your hardware drivers and firmware help.
Hope this helps, thank you for posting!

Having big problems with Creative Zen Micro Photo!! I need much urgent help!

Hi. I am having a big problem with my MP3 Creative Zen Micro Photo device at the computer.Here is the thing:Before I bought this I had the regular Zen Micro & having fun with it. I had no problems with that when I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs. So I bought the Zen Micro Photo & installed it my computer. As normal I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs & pictures.So I reinstalled Windows XP at my computer, and when I installed the CD that followed to transfer new songs, the Windows said that it's an unknown thing I have connected in the USB.So I installed Service Pack & 2. I have tried to install drivers from the cd but it seems that there are no drivers on the cd! The big problem is that when I connect the MP3 to the computer, it doesn't read it's a Zen Micro, it's just unknown! So the Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer program doesn't work & I can't transfer songs or picture on it! And it just happened after I re-installed Windows on my computer. The same thing happened on my brother's computer after he re-installed windows. And when I connect the MP3 to the USB, it says that it's not a USB 2.0, but .! And I am sure it is 2.0 because it has always been like that before I re-installed windows. Also the MP3 does not re-charge when I put it my computer! The battery is just the same, it tries to do it but it doesn't. So I am using my sisters computer to charge the MP3 & transfer songs. I have tried everything but I can't seem to understand what the problem is? I have never experienced something like this before, and I really hope you can help me with this! To be honest I think what I am missing is the driver. So can someone PLEASE provide me the link for the driver? I have downloaded all those 3 on www.creative.com, but they are none of them! Also that playforsure firmawre thingy does not work because it sais that I have to connect my MP3, and it is connected already!Please reply as quick as possible! Thanks a lot for you kind help!
I have also sent this mail to creative support! But please help me I have had this problem for almost 2 months now! =(Message Edited by anakwalajinn on 05-0-2006 08:47 PM

Big and strange problem with my Zen Touch, please he

I have had my Zen Touch since October and I have never had a problem with it, but suddenly yesterday I stopped for no obvious reason, it just froze.
I have since tried to reset it a number of times, and everytime it goes into something called "recovery mode", where I can "clean up", "format all" "reload firmware" or "reboot". Only reboot works, when I try to choose the other options it just says "harddisk problem".
I have then tried to upgrade the firmware through USB 2.0, but it freezes shortly into the process...
So now I don?t know what to do, I really hope that some of you can help me... Thanks a lot

Well that's a big problem, but it's certainly not a strange one. In fact, it seems to happen to pretty much every Zen Touch ever.Last time it happened to mine I fixed it by putting the player in its case and dropping it on the floor. I'm not even joking.Edit: By the way, this usually means the hard dri've is stuck, particularly if your player is new. Smackin' it around a little really does help.Message Edited by debaser on 04-06-2005 02:8 AM
