Problems with battery Zen Visio

Hi,
This thing is doing my head in now. Had my Zen Vision M for about 3 months and had nothing but problems with it. These days everytime i try and charge the battery it stays the same sometimes for hrs without the bar even moving. The creative program you get to transfer files keeps crashing. After a while of transfering it will come up with a message unable to transfer but the vision m still looks likes it's transfering and you have to reset to switch it off. It's so frustraing as i just can't be bothered transfering anything anymore as it's just a nightmare to.
Also when transferring an album that is an ehanced cd with a video or something on it the creative explorer will not transfer the last song of the album ,presumably the one with the media file on.
I'm thinking of selling it on ebay and getting an ipod.
Anyone with me?

Try Upgrading your firmware of the playerGo download section and leech the latest version there. If that still doesn't helps, i'll suggest you to exercise ur warrenty :smileytongue:

  • Software problems with the zen visio

    hey,
    i just got the zen vision m yesterday. very nice day.
    today after finding out that the player works well i decided to upload some more music and pictures then i did yesterday, but everytime the zen media explorer hangs itself up i uninstalled all the software and then reinstalled it, but again i didn't work when it comes to the upload
    i'm clueless, is this a common problem and are there any other software or a new uptdated software versions, which may help me?
    i really really want that player to work, because the -2 hours i got with it were great
    i got the zen m 30 gb working on windows xp home...
    thanks a lot
    jim
    edit: it's the upload assistent who doesn't want to work anymore...
    downloaded a update for the zen media explorer but nothing changed...

    I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
    I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
    problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
    I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
    till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
    the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
    the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
    with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
    somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
    asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
    They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.

  • Screen\Back Light Problems with Creative Zen Visio

    I hope someone can help me here.
    A couple of weeks after i had bought my Creative Zen Vision M the backlight on the player would flicker until it eventually went out. The player works fine besides this. I sort of hoped it might come good (i don't know i suppose i thought the creative fairies would come and fix it ) but its been a few months now and the backlight still flickers .. Has any one else had this problem..Would downloading drivers or something fix the prob?.. any help would be greatly appreciated....
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Problems with new Zen firmware. Device keeps hang

    Hi,
    I currently am facing some problems with my zen. I have used the zen for 2 mths without problems. When I recently updated the firmware, my zen keeps hanging and it turns on with dim lighting. It is unable to turn on or off and i need to do a reset in order for it to work. Can someone help? My battery keeps draining out while I sleep.

    Hi,I have upgraded? my firmware again and the problem seems to have stopped. However, there is a problem with viewing xvid files now. I have compress the files to 320x240 and copied them into the player and it was playing fine. After I upgraded the firmware, I get an error that the format is not supported??

  • PROBLEMS with the zen sto

    so the first problem with my zen stone i found was that no matter how much music i had on it, it would only play certain songs. for example, if i have 200 songs on it, it only plays abou 30 of them over and over....i tried using the online manual but that was NO HELP, it makes no sense when it tries to describe how to organize music/folders.
    now i have another problem...my stone WONT PLAY MUSIC. i open the folder and click and drag files from itunes(like i did before) into the folder, and it loads them. as soon as i disconnect my player and hold down the play button to play, it blinks 3 times and nothing happens, and everytime i hit play after that it does the same thing..
    please helP!

  • Problem with battery for MacBook Pro 2007

    I have a problem with battery that was replaced during video card service 1.5 years ago
    Battery health was around 80% and it stopped to work, I continued to use notebook with power cable and after week the battery become like this!
    spoke with person in Apple store and got answer that it is not covered by Apple and I will need to buy another new battery.
    For me it looks like manufacturing problem and I'm not expecting that after 1 year my battery will die like this! Thanks that it didn't explode!
    What I should do in such case?

    Thanks for your reply!
    All my battery story is ending with bad taste...
    I always relied on quality of the Apple products, it brought me to change all computers and phones to Apple brand. I was ready to pay extra for their products...
    This battery has an Apple brand on it and I'm expecting that Apple will take some responsibility for it.
    First battery on my MacBook Pro 2007 worked without any problem for 4 years, then it was replaced by Apple service tech person for unknown reason. This "new" battery failed just after ending of 1 year warranty coverage and even deformed in such scarry way. And now I don't have any option to ask if there is possibility that I'm experience a manufacturing defect! And I know that it is possible, internet is full of negative comments for these batteries!
    Now I'm asking myself again, if it worst to buy Apple products? Are these products have proper quality?

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

  • I bought i pad 3 in canada 4 months ago but i think it's got problem with battery .i live in germany i don't know where to send it

    i bought i pad 3 in canada 4 months ago but i think it's got problem with battery .i live in germany i don't know where to send it

    Not quite what I heard when I went into the Apple Store in Hong Kong yesterday.
    I have just bought an iPad in Hong Kong but will eventually be travelling back to the UK.
    Louis in the Apple Store told me that iPads without cellular have international warranty but those with cellular do not (as there are slightly different models for different carriers).
    But he was pretty cagey and essentially couldn't give a clear, straightforward answer. Which most Apple employees can't.
    It is now a grey area, at the discrection of each local Apple Store & is subject, it seems, to you paying the import duty as a possible get out clause.
    Look carefully but do tell us if you got this iPad reapired. Thanks.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    hi fireguy1957,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you try to:
    1. Ensure there's no recent apps running on the background
    2. Turn off wifi, bluetooth, adjust brightness to minimum
    3. Turn off automatic system updates under Settings > About Tablet > System Update > Auto Check Interval
    4. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Running Tab and stop the process that you don't need to squeeze out more juice on that battery.
    After you made the changes above, run the application that you use and observe the tablet.
    Hope this helps

  • Problems with Creative Zen V plus software

    *Problems with Creative Zen V plus software Dear friends,
    I'm trying to install the software included with creative Zen V Plus but it is not possible - it stops at 63%
    I get this following error:
    "CTIntrfu.dll can not be installed"

    At the moment my PC doen't recognize the Zen V
    Sorry for my english... It's not my language.

    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

  • VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY ZEN MICRO AND MEDIASOURCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE RESPOND

    Ok so a while back I had to give up my computer because it wasn't working.
    I thought that with my new computer I'd be able to transfer all of my music from my zen micro onto my new computer.
    Now my new computer is set up and I have installed creative mediasource and everything. I started to transfer my music from my zen onto my computer. My first 2 songs transfered successfully onto my computer. On the third song, I get this message:
    "Unable to read file, file may be in use, missing, or corrupted."
    I thought that maybe it was just that one song so I shrugged it off. But then it says the same thing for every single other song that i have! Only my first 2 songs out of my entire music library on my zen will transfer!!!
    Please i really need your help!!!
    And say that there is no hope in getting the rest of my songs to transfer and i have to download 094 songs from limewire? I'll surely be arrested for downloading that much! What should i do if i must download all of them?
    And one more problem with my zen: Some of my Jump Little Children songs are doing something weird. The song will be fine and then a clip from another song will play during it! And then press next and it just keeps playing all of my Jump songs in order even though my player is on shuffle and they do the same thing with the clip from another song interupting it. Whats going on?
    Most importantly though, i really need the questions answered about transfering from my zen to my computer because i'll be getting a new player soon. But this is my entire music library at stake!! PLEASE RESPOND!!!

    Might try this:? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...mp=true#M95059

  • 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.

    Hello!
    I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
    Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
    Happy Searching!
    Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

  • New air problem with battery after upgrade to 10.6.5

    Hi List.
    I bought new air about month ago. Everything was working like a charm.
    2 days ago I did macos upgrade and I have big problem with battery performance. Only 2 hours of working after full charging. I decided to downgrade system to 10.6.4 and problem's gone.
    Is there something wrong with 10.6.5 on new air?

    Hi,
    I dont think there is something wrong with 10.6.5 simply because I have no problem with it
    Since battery management is one of the SMCs, resetting it may solve the issue.
