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?

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

I've decided to go with the Zen Touch. Any advi

hey guys, through all the research, i've decided to go with the zen touch 20gb (unless i find out what price the 40 will be sold at). Anyway, I'm planning on getting one by the end of the week. Anyone have any advice on first things to do? are there any upgrades or downloads i should get right off the bat? by any chance are there any nuances that the player has that it would be important to know? any common problems that there is a way of avoiding? any information would be great. im getting it from amazon.com for 99, well that is unless i can find an actual store that actually carries it, which im sure i wont. im excited...thanks guys.

Since the player is very new, there havn't been any updates for the firmware, if that's what you're wondering. I personally don't own a Touch, rather, I have an Xtra, but basically just follow the instructions on the installation manual (usually tells you to charge the device for x amount of hours, how to connect the device to your computer, install the included software, etc).
The only thing that is notable about the Touch is that when you first get it, the touchpad takes a while to get used to... or so I've heard.
Oh, and someone found the 40GB version at http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/...asp?dpno=65048
Dunno if this is for real or not though

I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT...

I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT54G router. I am so frustrated right now because after following the various steps mentioned in one of these threads, following Earthlink's prompts, and speaking with Apple, my iPod touch will still not work. It is connected to the internet but will not download the pages. It is quite frustrating. I have changed from WPA to WEP, I switched the 4th Generated key to the 1st. I've disabled this, enabled that. I've done just about everything. I updated the firmware. I made the switch from a partial bridge to a full bridge. Still nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The one thing I have not done is enter the Apple code into the iPod which searches for website...-- I cannot access the internet with my iPod so this web address does not work. If anyone has been successful, will you please give me step by step instructions? Yesterday I was on the phone with Linksys for about an hour. Before that with Apple for about an hour and before that with Earthlink. How it is that I can walk into a Bread Co. or Apple Store and immediately connect to the internet with my iPod but I can't in my own house?? Everyone seems to think it is someone else's problem so I've gone around and around. Not one of the Linksys support personnel suggested I look here on this community forum. I had to pay the $9 fee to have advanced Linksys help but still my iPod does not work and when I called back, the man I spoke with seemed to think the case was closed because my PC, Laptop, and iPod are connected to the internet -- the iPod just won't download the webpages or get mail. My iPod's IP address begins with 192. I would appreciate any help on this matter
Message Edited by AlliW on 10-02-2008 02:06 PM

I had the same issues with my iPod touch & iPhone. It's a known issue with the touch & Linksys G routers. Go into settings on the touch & do the following.
1. Settings - wifi - linksys
2. Erase your DNS settings & input same numbers as in router
Settings.
3. Http proxy should be
in off position.
4. Close out & open safari you should now have a wireless
connection.

Do a reset of everything on your ipod. Then reconnect it and it should work.

Problems with my Zen V P

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me sort out a problem with the Zen V Plus that I bought a couple of months ago. Today the battery ran out so I plugged it into my laptop and left it to charge. After?a few hours I checked how it was going, and it was nearly full, so I decided to leave it for a bit longer so it could top?up completely. However, when I came to stop the charging, I discovered that the device no longer responds to any button that I press. Also, it isn't detected by my computer when its plugged in. I have charged it'sbefore with no problems.
