Updated and smaller Zen Touch using Hitachi's newest C4k60 hard disk

The new Hitachi C4k60 hard disk is really small and is NOT inside the "actual" Zen Touch:
Zen Touch hard disk model (Hitachi): HTC424020F7AT00 (red it on a Zen Touch hard disk)
Hitachi C4k60 model: HTC426020G7CE00 (found it on Hitachi's website, that's the 20gb version, also available in 30gb)
Obviously, the 2 models aren't the same, and the new C4k60 is "much" smaller (physical size).
Anandtech's review of the Creative Zen Portable Media Center says that it uses a Hitachi C4k60 hard disk. So Creative are already using those new Hitachi hard disks for some of their products.
Is it possible that an updated version (smaller of course) of the Zen Touch using this new hard disk appears pretty soon? I really HOPE so...
I know that the Zen Touch isn't old, but other brands already have smaller 20gb mp3 players using Hitachi's new C4k60 hard disk, so I guess Creative is going to respond with an updated, smaller and even better looking Zen Touch (other improvements like a line-in, "standard removable dri've in windows" and EAX would be welcome to)!
Can someone confirm this, or give any details/information?

I just saw the archos gmini xs200 in a local shop, had it in hands:
it's really a nice player, and it's so small for a 20gb one, but from different online reviews, true battery life is only about 8hours and battery isn't removable. This sucks !!!
Well, i'm goin to wait for a new Zen Touch firmware enablling driverless windows support or an updated gmini xs 200 with a better or removable battery...
Still no new high capacity portable mp3 for me YET, lol !Message Edited by Lazar on 2-28-2004 :23 PM

Yes. Don't worry, Apple won't let you download something that requires a purchase before actually paying.

I think my battery is fried. It gets really hot sometimes when I charge it now it won't charge at all. It froze up after the last update and I can't use it at all.

My phone froze up after last update and I can't use it at all. I think the battery is fried as well. It gets really hot sometimes when I charge it and now it won't charge at all.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still nothing try Reset while on Wall Charger, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on Charger. If still nothing and you decide to Restore you iPhone with iTunes on computer, you may need to use DFU Mode Restore. Here are steps: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

Can I install and use any 2.5" SATA hard disk on my Mac Mini (Late 2012)?

I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) which is currently housing a 500GB SATA hard disk. Unfortunately read errors have been detected and it seems to be slowing down. I want to replace this with another 500GB SATA hard disk and I was wondering whether any notebook (2.5") hard disk would work or whether I have to look for one with specific specs (such as RPM, SATA version, etc).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any 2 1/2 inch STA HD will work as long as the height is 9.5 mm or less. All most all meet this requirement except very larger capacity ones
I would opt for a SSD since those are a lot faster than a 2 1/2 HD and now they are very reasonably priced.
You can consider installing a second disk to using:

HT4889 Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive, it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive. Why is it looking for other computers?

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?

Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
Thanks for the quick reply!

My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent?

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate products designed to run on seperate products.

Zen Touch use without admin rig

hey everyone,
I'm a proud owner of a zen touch 20GB and have been very satified with it. I'm a high school student and have been lucky enough to li've in a place where the school provides each student with a high end dell laptop. For the year before I got my zen, I managed about 000 or so songs with WMP on my laptop. I don't have admin priviledges as it is a school computer, but I can take it home and whatever so it's as good as mine. When I got my zen I couldn't install the drivers and/or programs for transfer so I had to send all my files over to the home computer via the wireless network, quite a pain.
MY QUESTIONS IS: does anyone know of a way to install Nomad Explorer and/or the drivers for the Zen or somehow get the Zen to work with the school computers? They all have XP Pro SP and WMP0.
Any response would be appreciated seeings as it takes about a half hour to get songs onto it now and having it work with my laptop would be much easier. I'm an avid computer user and can program my way to it if I need to but there has to be an easier way
THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, so far that's what I've been doing, or when I'm at a place with no network, use my 52mb flash dri've or burn files to cds and move them, it just seems to be quite a hassle. Thanks for the advice Cat, you have a good point, but if there any word on when the new firmware for the Zen Touch that enables driverless integration with WinXP and WMP0 will be out? I can't wait, that should let it work on my laptop, I'll search the net for apps for transfer with Linux. Thanks! I really love my zen and use it every day, props to Creative for making the best mp3 player on the market, I couldn't li've without it, no problems so far!

Zen touch, using on a restricted c

Ok, heres the deal, I want to use my Zen Touch as a jump dri've, it can carry a good deal more than any jump dri've i have. The only problem is, i want to use it on a restricted account, therefore, it says i need to install hardware and yells at me. So I'm wondering if theres anything i can do to setup my dri've so when its first attached it functions as a data storage device instead of preparing to try and load music.
any help appreciated...

The Touch doesn't have a removable disk mode like the Micro does, so will never show up as a dri've letter for data.
However, MTP support is coming soon, so if your PC has WinXP and WMP0 you should be able to still use it with a restricted account.

Installed latest update, and now ipod touch won't work

Hello, I clicked on the download and install option for the latest update to my ipod touch. I think it was 2.2.1, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, now I have to hold the power button down several seconds, and I see the apple logo, and then the itunes icon with the USB plug which indicates I need to connect to itunes. When I plug it in to the pc, I get prompted that I have installed new hardware and need to install the device drivers. It is not recognized by itunes or my pc. Please help!!

Hello, all, my ipod touch is now working. Here's what happened...I called the tech support line and started going through the automated stuff. It started me with the reset which I had done numerous time. It then mentioned trying a different USB port. I figured it was a waste of time, but then I decided what the heck, so I tried the other usb port on the front of my pc. When I did this, it recognized the ipod in ituned and gave me a mssg that it needed to be restored. I clicked on the restore link, and minutes later it gave me an error message on the restore, and the ipod showed the apple on the sreen instead of the itunes logo with the usb cord. I then tried it back in the original usb port, and received the same windows prompt to try to install drivers that I had been getting all along. I put it back in the second USB port, and got the restore message again with it being recognized in itunes. This time it successfully completed the restore. I know it sounds simple, but if you have not tried a different USB port, be sure you do. Maybe the download jacked up my USB port? Anyway, I'm working again with the 2.2.1 download. Good luck to all!!

I pod disabled and cant remember passcode. cannot use itunes as it wants update and restore need to use passcode and the hold sleep/wake key and home key doesnt put it in DFU either . any help ?

My ipod has been disabled as I cant remember the passcode . When doing a restore on I Tunes it will only update and restore , the update doesnt work as the phone is locked and I need a passcode. I have tried the other way which is to hold the sleep/wake key and home key together for 10 seconds but as soon as you plug it inot the pc the ipod boots up so this method doesnt work either . Very close to usin it as a brick , any suggestions ?? Thank you

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Dry another cable
Next try on another computer.

HT1689 When I turn on my ipad there is a window that said I have not backed up to the cloud in two weeks. It says that it has to be locked and conneted to wifi. I did those things an it will not update and I can't use it. Whats's wrong?

When I turn on my ipad I get a message that says that I have not backed to the cloud in ywo weeks. I connected it to the computer and it has access to wifi, byt it won't do anything and I can't use it.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You can then do a backup

Does the iPod Touch use Flash memory, or a hard drive?

I thought that both the Touch and Nano used flash memory, but people on another board are telling me that the Touch uses a hard drive.
Which is correct?

Should have said Flash memory not Flash drive.

Trying to use my iPod as a hard disk

The iTunes tutorial, under "Other ways to use your iPod," gives specific instructions for enabling "your iPod to work as a portable hard disk," but the instructions do not follow what I see on my screen ("Select your iPod in the iTunes Source list" is one of them (there is no such thing. "Click the Options button on the lower right corner..." isn't there, either). Can anyone please tell me how I can set up my 3G iPod as a hard disk so I can transfer music and podcast files there without going through iTunes, which is a program I find excessively intrusive? Thanks. --Fred Powledge.

Connect your iPod and when it shows in iTunes click on it's icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. In the Summary tab check the box "enable disk use" and click the Apply button in the right hand corner: Using your iPod as a storage drive
