Settings not saving on Zen Nano Plus..am I the only o

I got my ZNP back in March, and I use it pretty regularly. About a month ago I started having this odd problem: when I turned off my ZNP and then turned it back on, the settings were back to their default. At first I thought it was a problem with the battery, so I switched it. No difference. It's not a huge problem, but it IS annoying. I'm thisclose to taking it back to the store I got it from (I have a year protection plan on it through the store) and just getting a new one. I just can't bring myself to pay the tech support here $3/month for a problem that I can't imagine being my fault (sounds cheap but I'm a broke student, the ZNP was a gift).
Thanks for any help.

I've had my 4S since the release date and I've NOT updated to 5.01. As I've always had Android phones and I know what eats battery, as soon as I had the 4s, I immediately turned off Location Services and the Diagnostics & Usage options for reporting. As a result, I had great battery life with absolutely no power problems whatsoever! (see screenshot). I've advised 3 of my friends who also have 4Ss and they too have the same great battery performance. None of them have updated their phones either.
If I need to use location, I just turn it on - eg to give pix geotags etc, and just turn it off again when i'm finished.
If you're having battery problems, you may want to try this:
Settings ----> Location Services - select 'off'
Settings ----> General ----> About ----> Diagnostics & Usage - select 'Dont send'
i haven't had any battery problems ever, before or after 5.0 and 5.01. however, i believe if you turn off Location Services you will not be able to use 'Find my iPhone'. even with that on and a couple of other things, still no issues.

ITunes not recognizing Creative ZEN Nano Plus

Hello,
My MP3 player is a *Creative ZEN Nano Plus* & I download my Audible.com audio books into iTunes. iTunes says my ZEN Nano Plus is a different Creative product, a *Nomad MuVo*. At the bottom of the screen, it shows me how much space I have left, but does not list files nor give me a way to manage files. Does iTunes need a plug-in or someway to identify my player? Will a future iTunes version handle non-Apple products better?
Many thanks,
shrinkray

iTunes isn't compatible with anything but iPods, so I'm not sure where you got the information that you could use iTunes for your audible account with the Creative player. After looking at the audible website on their list of supported players, it indicates that you would have to use WMP to manage your audible downloads on the Creative. In regards to whether or not iTunes will handle non-Apple products in the future, we are simply fellow users so no one on these boards can really offer an answer. All I can say is that iTunes, since it's inception, has really only been compatible with the numerous kinds of iPods.

Zen Nano Plus - 300mb of the 1G is not available to store music

About 300mb of?space is?unused on my Zen Nano plus (G) and I cannot load anything onto it. Any suggestions?Is this a firmware issue??

Please read the FAQ sticky thread as this is covered there - it is a limitation of the root folder in the FAT filesystem - put your songs into a folder and you will be able to fill it. PB

Zen Nano Plus and N200- the sa

Yesterday I ordered a N200... or a Nano Plus, actually i don't know since the title said Zen Nano Plus, but the pictures and text said N200. Of course I asked support which I was going to get when I ordered and in their reply they said they are the same but with different name... so I don't really know what i'll get tomorrow, but then I guess it won't matter if they are the same with different name... But are they really the same?

Hello,
Just so you don't make a mistake, the 200 and the Zen Nano Plus were different for me. Both I bought were GB but the software was different on the N-200. I was told NOT to load the N-200 on the Zen Nano Plus. I also bought Notmad software and they said that the ZenNanoPlus would be supported soon.
I mistakenly thought I had to upgrade the firmware to get Audible compatibility. I did not. It was Audible ready out of the box. It was .00.02 from the factory. I got 2 different Creative support people telling me 2 different things...including how to upgrade the firmware with N200. One support said DO NOT do it.
Finally I got someone who said it was audible ready as it is. I tried it and it worked perfectly. So...just check. I am not sure who was right. All I know is I blew one up once trying to upgrade and I am real cautious now. At this time, I would not trade the Zen Nano Plus for anything......except perhaps for a copy of the new firmware for the Zen Touch ! Had to get that in.

Can't power on Zen Nano Plus

I have a Zen Nano Plus gb. The unit powered off so I replaced the battery as it was weak. Now it won't power up. I tested the batteries and tried different batteries. No help. The display blinks on and off at /4 second intervals. When I connect it to the USB port the display lights but without the Logo and my PC thinks it is unattached. Mine is about 0 months old. Does anyone know if it is still on warranty and what can be done? Thanks.

I just went to the page?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=29&y=6and downloaded the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 file after filling all the info out in the drop down menus. I just installed it and I was good to go. The only issue I really had was installing the application from the CD which I mentioned earlier.But the application from the website installed with no problem whatsoever. I wish I could tell you something that would help as I know your frustration.Are you sure you downloaded the correct version for ME?You might ask someone if you really need this application to put music on you device because it seems like your device just acts like another dri've and you can just drag and drop into your device. I'm not sure about that so ask st so it doesn't mess up you player.or you might be able to use some other apllication to transfer your files to the player?Good luck and be persistent,JoeMessage Edited by joenanoplus on 2-26-200608:3 AM

And: If i wanna call the German Service hotline (+353 4380000) i only reach an private guy. I tipped in my telephon: 353 4380000 <-- is it right? Or are there any numbers before the "+" ?

ZEN Nano Plus free

Well, I have the following problem:
Well for some reason my ZEN Nano Plus keeps showing the Creative logo, i just can be turned off by removing the battery. I tried the updater from the website (already using latest firmware). But whenever i connect my ZEN with the computer and try to access it my explorer freezes for at least -2 minutes or freezes completely...
Plz help!

I'm having the exact same problem with my Nano Plus, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. I contacted technical support and they told me to download the Firmware update and gave me these directions:
Zen Nano Plus Firmware Update:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=2720&dlcentric=9423&Product_ Name=ZEN+Nano+Plus&OSName=Windows+XP
To install this firmware upgrade, do the following:
- Connect your player to your computer.
- Double-click the firmware upgrade file.
- When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
- Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to your computer's USB port.
- Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player to your computer.
- Release the Play button when the "Find New Hardware" dialog box appears on the computer screen.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to install recovery drivers for your player.
- Double-click the firmware upgrade file and follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure to select the "Format Data Area" option within the Update.
However, at step 6 my computer did not recognize my player with it being on and neither did the Firmware. I responded to Technical Support and told them this. They said it seemed like it needed repaired or replaced! Even though there is a -year warranty, there is only a 3 month labor warranty, which means if you send it in to get fixed and it has passed the 3-month labor warranty, you have to pay a $24.95 diagnostics and handling fee. If you're in this situation, they said the best thing to do is try to exchange it wherever you bought it first. I hope this helps!

Zen Nano Plus showing Probl

I am using Zen Nano plus. Somedays back I found it is not showing any of the mp3 files in it addtioanally some picture files also not able see.
But when I try to see the memory consumed it is showing as if those files are still there. I can't play any music as it is saying a error no music file found. But memory is consumed by those file.
Then I tried to re-install the firmware to get rid of all this issue, but I found the following error.
"Sorry, no Creative updates are available for ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe."
1.Can anyone tell me the link where I can find latest
Firmware for Zen Nano plus.
2. And how to get rid of above problem?
Please let me know if you need more information regarding the problem.
Thanks in advance

The firmware ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe isn't available at the download site anymore as it's being replaced with a newer version.
You should go to the download page and choose the player you have from the category list and get the firmware there.
What's the website URL that you have mention there's no Zen Nano Plus listing in the category?

Zen Nano Plus Connection Probl

(2)Zen Nano Pluses. Both using firmware .0.03. One Red, one Black (Click and Clack always want to know what color car they are diagnosing...)
(2) Computers, both XP SP2 with all updates; one called Dad's, one called W's.
One Zen (for ID, the red one) has been used on Dad's computer without issues for about 3 weeks.
One Zen, new and color Black, works on Dad's computer, but not on W's computer. W's computer will not properly recognize either the new Nano (the black one) or mine (the Red one), in either Creative MEdia SOurce, or Zen Explorer, or Windows explorer.
First, I have read the FAQ's. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nano software. When I use PB's check odd things appear:
PB's check:
With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
-->PCI Bus
You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.
PB
What appears on Dad's computer, with either Nano, is USB Enhanced Host Controler, USB Root Hub, Generic USB Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device, Generic Volume. Again, either Nano works on Dad's computer.
On W's computer, after just having reinstalled the new mass driver, it is USB2 Enhanced Host Controller, USB Root Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Disk Dri've. On restart from that, it reads Creative Nano Plus USB Device, with no "volume" underneath it, and the oddball icon is not there. I think the oddball icon is associated with the "Disk Dri've". Once it read under Creative ZEn Nano Plus, "Unknown Device". Also, when I attach a Nano to W's computer, it first seems to see the Nano in the New Device Found message, THEN while it is still attached, it says in another New DEvice Found mesage that it has found a Disk Dri've. It also shows some oddball icon I can't decipher, right next to the "safely remove Hardware" icon. The oddball icon does not appear on Dad's computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.Message Edited by Bennyd on 0-0-2006 06:6 AM

NEWS!!!
Actually, we have 3 Zen Nano Pluses. Two (the black and the red) have .0.03 firmware. I have never connected the black or the red to W's computer and have it connect properly. In fact, I had just tried (again) to connect the black, it failed, I re-booted. Then, I connected the blue, with the old firmware, and it CONNECTED. I could see it in WIndows explorer as dri've F:, which never happened with either the red or the black with .0.03 firmware.
So, now what?

Creative Zen Nano Plus won't turn on!!!!Please h

For some reason, my 256MB Creative Zen Nano Plus that I've only had for three months has suddenly failed to turn on. I have changed the battery several times so I know it isnt that, but when?I press the power button, the 'creative' logo comes up for about 2 seconds with the blue backlight before switching itself off. When I plug my player in my creative media organiser on my computer through the USB though, it connects absolutely fine and I can upload my media files, its just literally turning it on that is such a problem. I can't explain why its doing this, the only thing I'm thinking of is that it was in my handbag for about 6 weeks without being touched so I'm not sure if something in my bag could've damaged it's But I'm worried because I'm not sure if my player is under warranty as?I don't have the warranty sticker on the back of, only a number and a bar code?Can anyone possibly help as I've been everywhere to try and get it fixed but no one knows whats wrong!?Thank you?Laura.

Can you still connect your player to your PC? If so then you can reload the firmware. Go to the Support, Downloads page for the Nano Plus and download the firmware from there. Make sure you click on the Show Details link as that explains how to carry out the reload.

Zen Nano Plus Playb

When I turn off my Zen Nano Plus, I want the player to resume from where I left off (usually in the middle of my audio book), but it goes back to the beginning of the file. It only started doing this recently... Is there a setting I can change so I can listen from where I left off? Thanks, Dave

It should work every time but sometimes doesn't. Others have noticed that it is more likely to resume where you finished if your pause the track first before shutting the player off.

I have a Creative ZEN Nano Plus

Can someone tell me how or direct me to the advantage on the Line In connection. How do I plug in to and transfer music from another CD or device to put music on my Player ?TC

I'm a bit unclear on how you do direct Line In recording, as I don't have a Zen Nano Plus- my brother does. We tried it a few times, but found that it was much faster to rip the CDs on the computer and transfer from it, rather than wait for the Zen Nano Plus to copy the CD in real time.
However, the Zen Nano Plus manual gives these instructions:
Synchronizing MP3 encoding
If you are encoding songs from a CD or MiniDisc, enable Sync Track (SYNC) so that your player will encode the songs from your source as separate tracks. Your player will automatically stop when the last song is played. Sync Track is enabled by default.
In the MP3 Encoding screen, press the Scroller.
Scroll Select the Sync Track option and turn Sync Track on or off. When Sync Track is turned on, appears at the top right corner of the MP3 Encoding screen.

Zen Nano Plus will not play all trac

My Nano Plus will not playback all tracks installed.My Firmware has been updated to .0.03I have formated the Nano Plus via Windows Explorer.
Tracks have been transferred via Windows Media Player 0 AND Creative MediaSource Organizer 3.30.2 with the same problem. The NanoPlus Mass
Storage Driver has been updated, too. I have tried it on both a desktop AND a notebook PC. The transferred tracks are combinations of WMA and MP3. Both played and unplayed tracks are a combination of
WMA-protected, WMA-nonprotected, and MP3, 28/59/60/92kbps -
nothing unique about the tracks that will not play.
The tracks have either been ripped from my audio CDs or downloaded via Media Player MSN Music store or MP3 store. I have licensed all tracks and they all play via Windows MediaPlayer and Creative MediaSource Player from my hardri've.
All tracks show up on the Zen Nano Plus in windows explorer and will play from the NanoPlus via Media Player and Creative MediaSource player, but they will not all play through the NanoPlus.
All problem tracks (if transferred via
MediaSource) will either be skipped or the NanoPlus will pause when the NanoPlus is playing or they simply are not
visible (if transferred via MediaPlayer0).
The problem tracks are not always the same tracks after I have re-transferred them (I have tired 4
times to clean/re-transfer tracks). I have 8 tracks and only 36 will play.When transferred via Windows MediaPlayer0, the tracks are organized into multiple folders.When transferred via Creative MediaSource, they are all in the root directory.
What can I do to get this to work properly?

That may be it!
My tracks have been transferred with WMP0 into the following Folder structure:
MUSIC-AUTHOR-ALBUM-Tracks.
In Explorer/MediaSource, there is One MUSIC folder containing 65 AUTHOR folders containing 74 ALBUM folders containg 85 Tracks.
My Zen Nano Plus MENU-MUSIC display shows only 3 Folders -- 3 ALBUM Folders of 36 Tracks -- the tracks that do playback.
Is this just an organizational problem?
If so, it's not very handy to Sync....there is nothing in the manual that explains this!
I'll re-organize and see.
What is the best FOLDER structure to use?

ZEN Nano Plus 1Gb Not Recognised, but 256Mb Works F

HI all, I've searched the FAQ but can't find anything like the problem I'm experiencing here.
I purchased a 256Mb Zen Nano Plus for my son at Christmas, and a Gb Zen Nano Plus for my wife. The 256Mb unit installed perfectly, works perfectly, no issues.
However the Gb unit does not install correctly - Windows XP SP2 recognises it as a Creative unit, although it takes an age for it to recognise the disk dri've. It appears in device manager as a generic storage volume with no drivers installed, and does not appear under My Computer - I can't even tell what firmware version is installed.
I've installed the correct drivers from Creative Technical Support. Have also tried to update the firmware, but the updater cannot find the Gb unit connected to the system.
After trying various driver updates on my own PC, uninstalling the software, reinstalling, Creative support suggested it's faulty and I should get a replacement.
Well the replacement arri'ved today and it has EXACTLY the same problems - can anyone help or advise?
Thanks in advance,
BT68

Arcl, I haven't a clue what's happening - have spent the best part of 5 days fiddling and installing/reinstalling. As you say, the drivers for the 256Mb and Gb are exactly the same, so why one unit should work perfectly and the larger unit refuse to work at all, I have no idea.
As stated elsewhere it appears to be some sort of compatibility issue, but I've tried it without ANY other USB devices connected, have updated my USB and Chipset drivers, and it's got me nowhere. Looks like I'll be getting a refund and going for a Sony player similar to my own, as although the software's clunky I know at least it works and is pretty much hassle-free.
Why does it seem to be a problem with the Gb units though? Both cadman and Nespa in the other thread are experiencing issues with the units, I assume they're Gb too?

Zen nano plus 1GB not fully connec

Just tried to connect a new Zen Nano plus gb to my XP machine. 
I can see it in Device Manager (both disk dri'ves and USB) and it says its working properly

But, it takes about 5 min to appear on Explore and then it freezes Explore and cant be read.

I have installed the Creative Mass storage drivers.

I've tried to update the firmware to .3.03 (from .2.03) but no go. It recognized it in recovery mode and sets a driver but the .3.03 install program takes it out of recovery with no changes to the firmware (it keeps searching for a compatible device with no luck)

I have also tried different USB ports, checking the power lever (which is OK) and assigning a device letter but Disk Management wont see it until after 5 min and then the device is not available

Very Quirky - any suggestion?

I'm about to send it back (very disappointed with Creative Support as I own Jukebox III and just lost my MuVo.

Thanks in advance,
David

Yes, thanks,?
I tired that and so many more things (restarting, deleting driver and re-installing, deleting media program, different USB ports, checking power allocations for ports, different cables etc.)
I'm a smart guy (BSEE) and spent about 5 hours trying to get this thing to work and no go - still quirky so I just dropped it off at the Post Office to return to Amazon.
Honestly, it not worth my time to spend 5 hours trying to get it to work after paying good money for it. Poor QC testing, poor firmware, and poor support.
What I don?t understand is why Creative doesn?t admit that these devices have a problem and either recall them or fix them. Look at the number of hits the "Zen Nano Plus Connection Problems " thread has! Over 200 hits.
This is obviously a problem and they have their head in the sand. And it irks me when companies do this; release a product that is faulty and let their customers sort it out.
I suggest a thread that logs the problems with respect to each device.
Example:
Thread: Zen Nano Plus Problems:
) connection problems: 493
2) Automatically powering off problems: 327
3) Etc
Each person could add their one occurrence to the running total and someone could sort through and actually find the number of occurrences a problem happens. This can get a company to own up to larger design and QC issues which they shove out the door to boost the bottom line.
But what do I know, I just stumbled upon this site googling ?Zen Nano Plus Connection Problems?
I'm moving on now and thank everyone for their help.
Best of luck,D
