Solved Zen Touch unresponsive buttons problem, USB still dosen't work tho

2 months after my Zen Touch was dropped and the buttons became unresponsi've, I finally figured out the solution and it works beautifully now.
Unfortunately the USB still doesn't work and I was wondering if anyone might know whats causing that?
My guess is damage to the board itself, which in that case I won't be able to fix it ;_;
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Couldn't figure out how to text in that last reply...sorry
Seems to be a common problem with these. How did you get the buttons to respond? Do you know of a place that does repairs?

Have you tried another cable?
Do the charges work on oner iDevices?
Does the computer recognize your iPod?
Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

USB-Redirection dosen´t work

Hey,
I have a problem with USB Redirection. It configured it by Administrator's Guide for Release 3.3.2 but it still dosen´t work.
My steps:
- add USB controller to VM (Windows XP)
- Enable USB in Sun Ray RDP Settings
- install SunRay connector (Icon in Taskbar Sun Ray USB Redirector 2.4)
- Check Device manager (UtSrDtuBus and UtSrServerBus installed)
System: 2x VM Oracle 5.6 + Oracle VDI 3.3.2 (vmWare)
Are there other important Steps?
ps. Sorry for my bad Englisch
kind regards

Hi,
Did you install the "Guest Additions" under your Win XP VM, if not try to install then reboot and see if you can access the USB , hope this might be helpful for you to a certain extent.
Regards

Thanks C F McBlob but I recursively changed the permissions of my Music directory meaning every file and directory beneath it, as well as the directory itself, had the write permissions added.
I used "chmod -R u+w ./Music" and chmod -R g+w ./Music" to do it.
Alas, no cigar. :-(

PETITION: Change Zen Touch "Random" button functionali

I've heard alot of people mention this and thought it might be a good idea to make our voices heard (we might as well make use of all the time creative is taking to release the firmware!).
Basically I'm sick and tired of the random button. Sometimes I have the zen touch in my pocket and accidently press the random button and away goes my entire custom playlist, its so annoying especially when I haven't saved the playlist. It happens at least two times everyday while I'm on my way to college, I nearly broke down in tears the last time it happened. Yes I can use the hold switch, but I frequently switch tracks and its a joke having to hold/un-hold/hold/un-hold/hold constantly. Also, the remote is a rip-off so theres no going there!
OK, my proposal is this:
a) Single press - Zen Touch switches between normal and shuffle mode.
b) 3 second press - Zen Touch loads up entire music library in shuffle mode.
I'm 99.5% sure this is possible via firmware update, so please Creative, put me out of my misery!!!Message Edited by titaniumx3 on 05-05-2005 07:7 AM

I'd like to throw my $0.02 in. I completely agree that the RANDOM button's functionality should be changed. I don't use it because, upon pressing, it loads my ENTIRE library into the shuffle playlist. The problem is that I don't just carry music on my Zen Touch. I have audio books and audio dramas. Each audio drama is broken up into 8 to 20+ tracks. So, with the current RANDOM button functionality, it would work this way:
===============================================
(LOADS ENTIRE LIBRARY AND SETS MODE TO SHUFFLE)
Plays a Massi've Attack song
Plays an Incubus song
Plays Track 3 of the Doctor Who audio drama "Chimes of Midnight"
Plays a 939 episode of the Shadow radio play (which is 30 minutes long)
Plays a Cure song
Plays a reading from "The Dark Tower Book 4: Wizard and Glass"
Plays a Beastie Boys song
Plays a Strokes song
Plays Track from the Doctor Who audio "Scherzo"
etc....
===============================================
Clearly, this isn't a realistic way to shuffle audio. It works great if you use your Zen Touch for PURELY music. But I don't. I'd rather see the RANDOM button toggle between NORMAL and SHUFFLE modes, but not load any audio tracks to playlist. In fact, that was my first thought when I bought the Zen Touch of how the button works. Currently, for me, it's a pain.

Creative Zen Touch - Hard drive problems - HD upgr

Hi!
I bought my Creative Zen Touch almost a year ago now. Yesterday my hard dri've went crazy. The sound was a funky rythm, 0 DJ "scrathes" then one more high-pitched sound. In the Rescue menu I try to format the hard dri've and it responds with "Hard dri've problems."
Yes, it has fallen down several times. I don't know what caused it to malfunction this time though. It suddenly just stopped working. It looks like a mess, was bought over internet under the name of a mother of my frien; to make a long story short. I have no warranty :/
So here's what I decided; I opened it up to take a look inside it. Here's what I found:
- One loose battery, too much dirt on the sticky stuff.
- One hard dri've, model: HTC424020F7AT00
And here is my main questions:
- Can I use a 40gb Hitachi dri've in my 20GB Zen Touch? This is just the big brother, so the dri'ves are pretty much the same except storage space. http://tinyurl.com/4yurr
Thanks

Tweaking 'n' Hacking Your Creative Zen Touch 20GB
Thanks for your reply SSR. I'm a clueless as to what the controller is, but at least I've found out that the Creative Zen Touch 20GB uses a .8" harddri've. So the larger Fujitsu Siemens 2.5" dri'ves, which the Creative Nomad Zen Players use, aren't compatible.
For anyone reading this post who wants a step-by-step guide to upgrading the harddri've of a Creative Nomad Zen Player (but NOT the Creative Zen Touch 20GB), visit PC World magazine online for a "how to" article: http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article...67,pg,7,00.asp
<IMG src="http://images.pcworld.com/howto/graphics/9267-2303p075-7b.jpg">
If anyone has experience of tweaking/hacking the Creative Zen Touch 20GB or if anyone should come across a similar "how to" guide for upgrading its harddri've (and knows of specific models of compatible .8" hardri'ves) - then please post on this forum.
Cheers........... Tim Holmes.

Zen Touch 40 GB: problems transferring music files and playli

Hi,
Creative Zen Touch 40 GB, one year old<
[color="#330000">PlaysForSure Firmware 2..0<
Creative MediaSource Organizer 5.0.38<
Creative?Sync Manager 5.0.9.0<
Windows XP Service Pack 2<
527?music (.wma) files on the player; 4205 MB of free space<
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to?transfer music files and playlists to my Zen Touch player now that the amount of free space on it has fallen below 5 GB. More often than not, it's necessary to put the player into Recovery mode, perform a clean-up, and then reboot and rebuild the library before Sync Manager works properly. I often need to repeat this process several times before I can transfer anything. Increasingly, too, Windows fails to detect the presence of the player when I connect it to my computer. Rebooting both the player and the computer usually fixes this issue. Transferring files by dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer is obviously much quicker than using Sync Manager, but here again I keep running into problems. It's as if the player freezes and refuses to take on-board any more files. Also, I can't find a way to transfer playlists except with Sync Manager. Are these known problems? I recalling running into similar issues with the Zen Touch 20 GB a few years ago. And could the fact that I'm doggedly using an old (998) and underpowered computer be an issue? I'm thinking of replacing the computer anyway, but is it likely that these synchronization problems would diminish or disappear altogether if I were to upgrade to something speedier?Thanks for any insights,Pete

I too have a simular problems! Managing music is the biggest problem with over 0 Gigs. Some artists songs sometimes change name titles, artists,?and etc. Win Explorer is most used by me now. Yes, I do lose sync from time to time! Especially when I open two windows on the portable zen. There are two tools that need. . Playlist management - it takes too long to do it on the player. I want to create "Gym Vibes" and had it on my old creative?Nomad player, but couldn't transfer. "Creative Sync Manager" doesn't do it!?Without all that sync stuff how can I create and edit creative's playlist on a PC?2. A method for detecting dupicates?This is my second creative portable and if I don't get the tools I won't buy another!

Zen Touch Random Button Sugges

Others have wished the "random" button on the Zen Touch just played a randomized "selected music" list, rather than everything on the player as it does now. My ideal suggestion would be to make this button function something like the FFWD button; push it to randomized selected music or push and hold to randomize the whole dri've. The way it is now is not very useful for me, since I have a few thousand tracks on the player. Way too big a playlist to "randomize".

<I'm not sure if I understand what you're talking about, but when add music to a selection list, I can play only those songs in the play list on random/shuffle. Just set your player to shuffle and add music to selection, >
The idea of the dedicated "random" button was quick access to the "shuffle" function without going through the menu system (same as dedicated volume controls, etc.). Yes, everyone knows you can chage the play mode to shuffle and that will shuffle the "selected music". To do this requires several menu steps, however. Bumping the random button by mistake (the way it is set up by Creative now) causes your entire Zen to shuffle EVERYTHING. This takes, in my opinion, a positi've feature of the player and turns it into a negati've. I think pressing the button should toggle "random" in selected music only. This would be convenient and I think this is probably more in line with what was intended for this button to begin with. If you really want to shuffle your whole library (why?), you could press and hold the button.
It is not a huge deal, because there is a way to get the same thing done using the menu system, but then why have a dedicated button at all?

Please can someone help me fix my ipod :/ Ive tried holding the home button as well as the power button but it did not work.PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod touch home button Problems

Sometimes my home button on my 4g iPod touch is unresponsive, usually after being asleep for a while but not always. Or sometimes 1 click registers as 2, I already tried a restore so if I go to the genius bar and they can't duplicate the issue will they still give me a replacement or not. And also if I get one will it be new or refurbished I am still under warranty by the way.

If you bought it less than a year ago or have AppleCare, then it is in warranty and can be replaced for free.

Creative Zen Touch...problems with getting it to turn

ok so last friday im on the bus going to school....normal day no big deal listening to music watching kids make fools of themselves...but back to the point, anyway we pull into school so i hit power button and it says "Shutting down.." so i put the 'hold' button on and put it in my backpack...well i get out of school get on the buss pull it out and it still is saying "shutting down". seems to be caught in a continuous shut down cycle because it wont let me do anything so i put it in my bag and wait till i get home...well stupid me i forget about it until i pull it out monday and it wont turn on....what should i do...the blue light just flashes as i try to turn it on....thanks

attach the player to the adapter, while attached hold play and press the reset button, it will start up in recovery mode, leave it there for a few hours to properly charge the battery, then attach to computer and run firmware update
