Trying to install software for Creative "Zen" MP3 player

I can't find anywhere on the documentation that this is a PC only device, but I am having trouble installing the software to get our MP3 players started. I can see the CD and it's files once I have loaded it, but it does not take me to the Autoplay wizard to get things started. Any tips????

I'm pretty sure that won't work on a Mac.
Check the install disk, it might say what systems are supported. If not, look at the files on the disk. If they're all named like PC files they're likely for a PC. If the disk has a Mac partition the files will look like they have Mac-style icons and names.
I also note that Macs don't use an 'autoplay wizard'; that's a PC thing.

  • Downloads for Creative Zen mp3 player Vision: M (30

    My new Zen 6GB freezes up in mid-40 degree temperatures and won't reset. It just gets stuck, then the battery goes dead, and it wont restart until fully charged again. When it's cold I can't even reboot it with a paper clip. If I leave it in the car for more than an hour the same thing happens. Is this a known problem I never had these problems with the godawful iPod. I can't imagine it's "normal" for it to be unusable outdoors whenI bought the black Creative Zen mp3 player Vision: M (30 GB) back in August 2007, and both discs that came with product are lost, and I need to desperately replace them. I know where the download section on the Creative website is, the problem is that I do not know which two programs came with my player initially, thus I do not know what to download. Can anyone tell me the names of the discs that come with this model so I would be able to download the correct two programs Thank you kindly. John it's 5 degrees above freezing. Thanks.

  • Lost software for Creative Zen

    I had to have everything wiped off of my computer and have it re-placed. Some how I have thrown out my disc that came with my Creative Zen MP3 player. My computer is no longer seeing my player!
    What can I do?

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …

    Hi! Is is possible to connect Creative Zen mp3 player to the I tunes and import the mp3 music over to the Creative?

    Jonas, probably not. See this link from Scott Patrie & Hudgie for a further explanation.

  • I forgot to charge my Creative Zen mp3 player fully before first using it

    I forgot to charge my Creative Zen mp3 player fully before first using it, and started syncing music onto it while it was charging for the first time. How much damage do you think this would have caused, and is there anything I can do to correct my mistake?Thanks.

    I didn't fully charge my player the first time I used it and it works fine. The battery life seems to be on par with everyone else's. Also if you just plugged it into the computer and started syncing music you don't have anything to worry about. Even though you were syncing music you were still charging and not depleting the battery. I think the recommendation means that you don't "use" the player meaning unplug it from your computer with only a half charge and then run the battery out. Anyways, your player will be just fine.

  • A Creative Zen MP3 Player which can work on Windows 2

    Hi,
    I am wanting to get a Creative Zen MP3 player (or two) which can work with Microsoft Windows 2000. I want to put a number of podcasts on it as well as some music. Unfortunately my PCs are all Windows 2000 and it is not worth my while upgrading.
    Now I think that some of the Creative Zen Micro units used to work on 2000. But later versions after firmware upgrades only work on XP. How can I get the right working units?
    AK

    You can try to get some old Zen players.All new Zen players need at least Windows XP to work and sometimes even the last service pack. If you know that the Zen Micro works on Windows 2000 with a previous firmware, I think that you can find easily on the web this firmware or simply ask to Creative.

  • Cannot install driver for IQ Sound mp3 player

    I'm trying to load software for my IQ Sound mp3 player, but my Toshiba laptop does not recognize the driver on the disc.  What should I do?

    I can't say with any certainty what the compatibility is between your mp3 player and your Toshiba laptop. Maybe you should check on the support website of the mp3 player as well if you haven't already.

  • Can't install drivers for Creative Zen 'Data Inval

    I have just bought a 8gb Creative Zen but everytime I try to install it I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this hardware (Creative Zen) An error occurred during the installation of the device, The data is invalid" and when I go into device manager and click on the properties in there for the Zen (Which has a yellow iconon it) it says
    "This device is not configured correctly. (Code )".
    I looked up this error on the Microsoft Technet website and it says [size="">"by clicking Update Driver, which starts the Hardware Update wizard. If updating the driver does not work, see your hardware documentation for more information." I have tried to update the driver but it won't update either.
    I'm running Windows XP with Service pack 2
    Any help is appreciated as i'm getting extremely frustrated.
    Jim

    Re-installing XP might not, and probably won't do it. The re-install will keep most if not all of your Windows settings and installed files. It may repair or install files that are corrupted or missing, but that's about all.
    What happens when you delete the entry from Device Manager and then reconnect the player? If it still installs with a conflict, you'll probably have to track down the application or device that is causing the conflict. Also that inevitable question ... do you have Windows Media Player installed? There have been some instances where Creative players have not paired with the driver correctly with WMP, but work fine with WMP0.
    You might also want to take a look at this thread at Epizenter
    http://www.epizenter.net/e07_plugins...ic.php?95267.5
    they have some hard-core Creative fans over there and the discussion is usually a bit more in-depth regarding technical issues.

  • My Creative Zen MP3 player won't sta

    Hi. I just got my mp3 player and now I'm having problems with turning it on. I've done everything that the usermanual says, but everytime I plug it out from the charger, it won't start. I charged it for 2 hours, like the book says, but it still won't start. Is there someting I can do that the manual doesn't say anything about?

    I had the similar experience and this is what I wrote in the previous post._______________________________I purchased my Zen Vison M last night and plugged into a computer USB port to start charging (after installing the software, of course). The charging was very very slow - after 3 hours of charging the unit still won't turn on. I then went to RadioShack and purchased an A/C adapter, set it to 5V (2A capacity) and used it to charge the unit. Within 2-3 hours, the Vision M was almost fully charged. I then updated the firmware. The unit is fully charged now. I am so pleased with this purchase. Hope this experience helps you. Good luck.

    Hello
    I am using Creative MesiaSource Player to manage them, I did the clean up/rebook on the players, I don't know what
    was installed recently from Windows Update. I tried doing a system restore, I have Windows Vista Basci, but I need to restore it to three or four weeks ago and system restore soes not go back that far. I have also done the sfc /scannow and the message I received was Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files ibut was unable to fix them. Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem? Thanks
