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.

Problems with the Zen Vision:M 6

I'm experiencing a lot hangs and lockups with my Zen Vision:M 60GB,
the newest firmware that is viable for the Zen Vision:M 60GB already
on my Zen Vision:M 60GB, firmware version .2.02e, sometimes the
clean up in the service mode works fine, had also a situation
that everything went so bad that it lockedup when I turned my Zen on,
had then to refresh the firmware and lost all my music on its hard dri've,
costed me hours to get everything back on it.
Please, Creative do something about these lockups bring new firmware out
that solves these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please start supporting the Zen Vision:M 60GB again.

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!

An update...
I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

Problem with the Zen Vision

So I go to turn on my Zen Vision: M this afternoon. It was working fine all day.
However, this time it did not turn on.
Instead it displayed an icon on the screen.
It shows the Zen with a caution sign beside it.
This Icon still remains on the screen.
The TouchPad buttons are lighted.
Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
By the way;
I had the "blinking blue light on top" problem yesterday, fixed it though by charging it for a few hours. Thought i'd mention it if it relates to the current problem i'm having.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried resetting it's (Stick a needle or something long and thin into the small hole at the base of the player, near where you put the USB dock)

Problems with the zen x

I recently bought my friends 40gb jukebox zen xtra from him. The first thing I did when he gave it to me was reformat it. Then I synced it with my windows media player library and it connected fine. After I did that, I've experienced the following problems:
-Won't connect to my computer anymore (Windows Media Player nor Zen Xtra Media Explorer, nor Nomad Explorer will detect it)
- The characters in Track Details show up as boxes
- No songs are listed in Selected Music, even when all music is selected
- Won't show what song is playing when i look at the Now Playing screen
-Won't allow me to delete any music at all
Any ideas at all as to why this is happening?
I don't mind having to reformat again if that will help.
There are a lot of songs I'd like to add to it and it none of the programs will detect it when i connect it with the USB, the other problems are just irritating, thats the important one.

Sorry I took long to respond.
I ran through the tutorial you linked me to, I changed the "permissions for usb" as it instructed, and, unless it requires me to restart the computer before the changes take place (I havent restarted it), it didn't solve it because Windows media and zen media explorer still don't detect it.
And yes, a new firmware was loaded, but that was a while ago. The firmware it has now is 2.0.03

Software Problem with the HP Office Jet Pro 8500 A910

Hi Guys
I'd like to know if
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 is supported by the OS X Image Capture Application?
I don't find a MacBook Pro software for this Printer. It is a Multifunctional Printer what prints, scans and also fax !
Now i'll try to scan with the PDFScanner from The Mac App Store.
Do you think it will work with this Printer?
Please help me
Yours,
Felix

Hi @Curved , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're having issues with your ink output. I'd like to help!
I would recommend removing the cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also suggest following the steps laid out in this document:
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer Series
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

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:

Headphone jack problem with the zen mi

Not even 2 months after sending it in to be fixed, and I can't move my head without the sound getting distorted. Why don't they fix the problem not just make it work for a month in a half. Is there anyway to fix this withut sending it in?

I gathered that a lot of people have experienced headphone jack problems with their players, but I thought that was with the Micros only. I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one. Or maybe I'm not. I dunno.
Anyway, I sent an e-mail to customer support. My wife bought the unit for me for a Christmas present last year, so it's only a couple of months out of warranty. If nothing else, hopefully Creative will tell me how to ship it back for repairs at my own expense (it's gotta be cheaper than buying a new one).

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

There's video problems with my Zen Vision:M already (M video cable related) Please help

Some background...
System:Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Player: Brand new Creative Zen Vision: M with no firmware updates.
My Zen Vision:M has a problem (besides the scratch and fingerprint attracting top surface): It won't play videos on a TV screen when the M Video Cable (also from Creative) is linked to it anymore. It's only been a few hours...
I had the cable already, and got the player today. I let the player charge to /4th of a battery while I was setting up all the software. I ran the software programs just to take a peek, only changing the name of my player (to my name). I used Winamp 5.3 to put a music track on the player to test it. After that, I hooked it up to the VCR in my room through the white and yellow A/V plugs in front. It worked just fine. It to the tv a little large, but I was okay with it.
Later on today, the new AC charger I ordered came in the mail (Player came through UPS, charger through USPS). I looked at my old charger (Creative Zen Touch) and realized it would work with the plug-in part of the sync unit at the bottom. I tested it for a minute and it did. I still took it out and tried the new one. This is where, I think, something happened. I had to press the sides to get the thing in, and it was hard to come out. Everything still fit just right, and nothing seemed to be wrong. I used my old charger as I added more of my music library. Now it was on to videos. I had to convert the first two test vids (they were .wmv), but they played on my player fine. I put a bigger .wmv file onto the player to see if it had to convert it, and it did. It still played on the player. When I go to hook it to the TV with the A/V cord again, there was nothing but a black screen with the occasional diagonal scan line. The sound is still there.
Besides quirks with the navigational system, the player is still great for music and video. Still, I needed no video capability, and one of the things that made the ZVM a buy for me was watching my vids on the big screen. I'd return this for a second try, but I want to know if this is a recurring issue with you guys and if there's something I can do to fix it before a return. Did I mess with a setting? Should I get new firmware? Did I do wrong using my old charger? If any of you have an answer, or need more info on my situation, please let me know.
And BTW, does anyone know of some better software for organizing files on the ZVM? I used Winamp for my Zen Touch and the music on my ZVM, but videos are another ballpark. I can't transfer a video from one folder to another folder (assuming both folders are on the ZVM). Not to mention the music I transferred using Winamp isn't even showing up in Windows Media Player. I think I need a different program altogether.

I have got a new Creative Zen Vision W and getting the same problem....when i attach to the tv then i am able to hear the audio content and the video does not show.Are we missing something ? or is it a problem with the player. Also the software provided with the Zen converts small .vob files to .wmv when ever the size is large it gives an error 'conversion?unsucessful'.Any body facing similar problems please help.

XNJB problems with Macbook & Zen Vision:

Hello all...
I'm contemplating purchasing a Macbook. I only got my Zen a few weeks ago, but off of Ebay, so it's unreturnable (plus I love it).
So my question is, how many of you have had major problems using XNJB to support your music? Can you upload music on to your Zen from your Macbook with the program? What are the biggest problems?
And finally, please try to convince me whether or not I should buy a Macbook or a Dell laptop, whether all the hassle that comes along with it is worth it with a Macbook.
Thanks much
Barbara

A few Problems with my Zen Mi

Hi I have had my player for just over year now and a few problems have just come up. First off the power switch is getting harder and harder to use. I am having to push the power button pretty hard now and have to hold it for a little while. Also when connect my player into the computer and go into the creative mediasouce player and click to access my zen micro it says its not connected.
Can anyone help me with these problems.
Its a 5gb zen micro version .02.05 if that means anything

Regarding your connection problems, are you using WMP? It is known to cause connection problems with the Zens.
Have you tried reinstalling the Creative Software?
Have you tried the connection with another PC IF available?
And regarding the power button, I'm guess that it is due to aging? I still have my Zen Micro (even though I use my ZVM) and I do have to hold the power button a little bit longer than before (3-5 seconds more) for it to turn on. Same happens when I use the lock mode (I just tried it)
and it's kinda rough for it to push instantly (effortless but still feels a little rough).
Good luck with your connection, let us know if it worked!

Creative, Is it worth it? (i.e. whats your experience with the Zen 16gb) and Firmware questi

After doing a sizable amount of research on the Creative Zen 6gb MP3 player, I was relati'vely comfortable with the product and decided to purchase it.
However, after browsing this forum for a few hours, I see quite a few things that trouble me about Creative in general:
"Real person" my (CENSORED) -horrible customer support
Creative Expects 3rd Quarter Loss, Sells HQ Building?
Message to Daniel_K -lack of product support/customer relations
and a countless number of other posts about hardware and software issues with the Zen
I really like the features built into the MP3 player (FM transmitter, voice recorder, Equalizer) and do not want to sell my soul to Ipod.
That being said, I wanted to see if there was anyone on this forum that actually liked their Zen and did not have issues with it.
I would greatly appreciate your positi've feedback as I hope that I will not have to spend countless more hours searching for and then researching a different MP3 player that fits my needs.
In addition, I was curious about the user interface on the Zen. I know that it uses ID3 tagging and that a folder directory cannot be used to view mp3s on the player (unless this has been added in a firmware update?, however I checked the site and did not see anything about this addition). How impeding is this ID3 tagging reliance if about 00 to 500 of my mp3s have incorrect tagging? as in, will I go crazy trying to retag everything because all I see if "Unknown" for all the data?
Yeah, that's about it for my long winded post...
Thanks,
Joe?

Just return from Mexico and found my Zen 4 GB player missing from a light finger baggage handler. I would not even consider, in a thousand years, of purchasing from the "fruit company" their overprice Ipod without a FM receiver. The Creative Zen rocks. Need I say more.
