Use zen touch as portable data stor

Hi all
Can I use zen touch as a portable data storage?
I use shared computers in school and installing Zen Media
Explorer is not possible.
Is it possible to reslove this problem by fireware update or it is related to hardware capabalities of zen touch?
thanks

Data storage is a must have, I mean thats like include driverless support for the iPod Mini, but not including them on the iPod 20GB?
I understand that if they do include it the Zen Micro won't sell, but then Creative should have adjusted the pricing on the Micro.
I love the Zen Touch, but I must saying now that I understand that data transfer's are nearly impossible (Other computer must have same drivers) it's kind of a negati've point.
I think Creative needs to keep the Zen Touch (20GB) at about $225 and if they were to drop the micro to $75 in the future then they would still sell.
2GB of storage for the micro, please. When a player has a potential of 20Gb or 40Gb thats when you need storage options.
Creative you did a great job on the Zen Touch, and you need to add on to it, not the micro.
Keep the focus on the stylish, feature loaded, high storage players and the company will go a long way.
This is troubling that this is not even being considered to be included, I hope Creative Labs thinks through this...

Using Zen Touch as external hardd

Hi there,
I just wanna know, if it is possible to use the zen touch mp3 player as an external harddisc. I wanna connect it to the computer and then just drag and drop songs on the dri've. Normally it is not possible, but I heard about a firmware update that can make it possible. Now, is it true or not?
Thank you!

If you are asking this because you are considering on buying it then look else where, it totally sucks as an external hard dri've. You have to install the drivers everywhere you plan to use the player and also install the nomad explorer to be able to transfer data to it. On tops of that the nomad explorer is not bug free, including one bug which erases the file extension if the file name has more than one '.' in it. If you have a file called maria.full.of.grace.avi and one called maria.full.of.grace.mp3 both will be copied as maria.full.of.grace in the player. This is a problem when you have multiple file in a folder with relati've the same name and try to copy that folder.
A firmware with MTP support was promise to be release before you died, but when exactly before you do no one does and wouldn't base buying the player on this promise. MTP would allow you to transfer mp3's a files to your Zen Touch without having to install drivers for it, but still you will need to have Windows Media Player 0 or above to enable MTP on your computer, so if you go to someone's computer and it doesn't have wmp0 you will need to install it, requirring WMP0 also means that it won't work on win2000 since wmp0 is not supported in win2000.Message Edited by lsd_us3r on 07-0-2005 09:24 PM

Zen Touch CD lost, can't use zen touch on

I lost my CD with the software for my mp3 zen touch, so I don't have mediasource.
My question is: how can I transfer music between my mp3 en my pc without the software?
I know you can download nomad explorer but if you want to use nomad explor you have to install the software first.
Who can help me?
Kasumi

The problem is that I have nothing of the software installed and you've to install first the software from the cd before you can download en install something from the site. When I try to install mediasource or nomad explorer from the internet my pc says that there is no previous version installed.
So I don't know what I have to do.
Who helps me out?

Is there any way to use zen touch without being an admin on the comput

I looked for weeks and weeks with no solution. All I want is the simple
interaction between my 20GB zen touch and a pc with which I have
no admin priviliges. If I managed to get the files (nomad explorer/driver)
somewhere else would simply copying them over be enough to get it to work.
Or is it hopeless and you HAVE to be an admin? :smileysurprised:
Please helpMessage Edited by myname on 05-24-2005 03:8 PM

It works fine on my laptop but you know the way it is at work.
I thought I'd be able to download files and bring them home
to my laptop on the zen touch. ?260, 20GB and I can't even use
it to transfer files. Feck that :smileyvery-happy:

Can I use touch ID for App Store without using a passcode?

It seems that the ony way I can use the touch ID for App Store and iTunes is if I have a passcode to get into my phone. I don't want a passcode, it get in and out of my phone too often to have to unlock it all the time and I hate manually typing in my password for App I buy. Why can't it do both, isn't the touch ID just as secure for purchases even if you don't have to unlock the phone to get to it??

From the article:
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
So yes, that's how it's designed. You must have a passcode, though as long as you understand the caveats:
In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:
After restarting your iPhone 5s
When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting
and
You can't use Touch ID for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately.
you should be able to use Touch ID without needing your passcode. If none of those circumstances is true and you're still being asked for your passcode to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, it would seem that something is amiss with your iPhone.

Zen Touch, WinXP detecting as

I reformatted my computer today, so I have a totally fresh (and up to date) install of windows XP. I *did* have? WMP installed, but that was causing Windows to recognise my Zen as a MTP device or something, which didn't work. So I used the tutorial that's stickied at the top of this forum to remove WMP and that driver feature pack or whatever it was. So this is my situation at the moment;?When I plug my Zen Touch into my computer though, it says it's detected a "Creative Zen Touch" and that it should be working fine. So, I start up NOMAD explorer and it tells me my Zen isn't connected, so I unplug/replug it and same again. Windows detects it as a "Creative Zen Touch" and NOMAD won't see it. So I try going to My Computer and that crashes out. The whole window goes blank at that little torch animation plays, the one where a torch rolls backwards and forwards. Needless to say, no matter how long you leave it, that animation keeps going. Trying to close the window only brings up a window saying it's not responding, end now etc.
So I figured it's just something wrong with the drivers that windows found right? So I download the latest and greatest from the Creative site, install them. Same issue.
General info that might be useful;Zen Touch 20GB with latest firmwareWin XP SP2 (without WMP at the moment) - detects Zen as a Creative Zen Touch, but does nothing elseWin XP SP2 (with WMP) - detects Zen as a MTP and doesn't do anything with it (tells me my hardware might not work properly [well duh?!])AMD Athlon?64bit 3700+ (I do have regular 32bit windows though)2GB Dual Channel RAM?Edit: Tried plugging it into another USB port, now it's recognising it as a MTP device again, still don't have WMP installed though.Message Edited by phil88 on 02-3-200707:50 PM

Here's an update on the latest situation;?When I plug in the Zen, windows says it's found a MTP media player and asks if?I want to sync or do nothing. When I choose sync (with WMP0), it opens up WMP to the sync screen and hangs for a while. Eventually (0 minutes ish) it'll chuck up an error saying "WMP does not detect a portable device. Connect your portable device and try again."?When I try to open up My Computer, it does that thing where the window blanks out and there is a little torch icon rolling around. When I try to go to Portable Media Devices in Control Panel, it does the same thing as My Computer, blanks out with a torch.

I hope you know that eDirectory is not supported - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/idm_certification_101401.html#BABHFBCC
Like any LDAP-compliant server eDirectory has its own idiosyncracies and you might hit issues because OIF using eDir as the federation data store has not been QA-ed by Oracle.

Zen Touch Blue Scr

Yesterday i buy a new Creative Zen Touch in a Multimedia Store here in Barcelona. In my house i open the case, plug to charge for about 4 hours, connect to pc, move 2 giga of mp3 music, unplugit and... it only show a blue screen... i can hear the clicks of the touchpad, but thats all. I reset it but nothing. Were i can send it to service? Im refusing to pay 0? for a call!!!!! I buy a new, shiny and perfect MP3 of a known company!!!! Whats wrong? It wast de last one on the store, so no change, and no more money for an Ipod. So whats gona be?

If reset didn't solve it it sounds like the player is faulty unfortunately. You need to contact where you bought it from for a replacement, or contact Creative Support.

Extending eDirectory schema for OIF Federation Data Store

Since I couldn't find ldif files specifically for eDirectory (Novell Directory Server), I tried extending the schema using the OpenLDAP and GENERIC schema files. Both attempts failed for file format reasons.
Has anyone been succesfull updating their eDirectory schema?
Thanks

Zen Touch no longer uses fold

At some point after an update (not sure if it was firmware or an update to MediaSource as I have applied both in the last 2 months) my 20GB Zen Touch stopped storing music in logical artist/album folders. Instead it stores all music files in the root folder of the player.
I realise the player does not need folders to operate correctly, and that it organises the files by their ID3 tags, BUT...
It has a 20 Gigabyte storage capacity, and so if ALL the files go into a single root folder my poor PC struggles and hangs as it tries to list the files whenever I open up MediaSource. There are way too many files in a single folder for it to run smoothly.
It makes MediaSource almost unusable. Why has this been done, and how do I fix it's

Can you see any files on your Zen Touch using Windows Explorer? I have the latest driver installed on mine (with Windows XP), and all my music is still under "artist" folders under the "Media" folder. I don't use Mediasource. I always found it WAY too slow and clunky to use. I am using WMP now, which seems to work much better than MediaSource to synch music (and now creates playlists). As you know, WMP uses tags like the Zen itself, so you don't see or don't use folder structure. The only downside I've found to totally replacing MediaSource with WMIP is that I can't edit tags on the player itself without Mediasource. So, I just delete them, edit on PC and copy them back.

Zen Touch File Transfer/Stor

Im thinking of buying a Zen Touch in the next few weeks but i have one niggling doubt which i haven't been able to resolve over its file storage capabilities.
Can i simply drag and drop file onto it without the need for seperate software, as i intend to make use of my colleges T3 connection and i do not have user privliges to install new software or drivers?
Sorry if this has been brought up before, i couldn't find any info on the matter.

To do so with the zen touch you will need nomad explorer. A program that ties into windows explorer.
If you will need a player that does this take a look at the Zen Micro. You can partition 2GB on the hard dri've of the micro for data only and if you do so it should show up as a removable dri've.

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.

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?
ThanksMessage Edited by Lazar on 2-27-2004 03:06 AM

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

Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S. We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud. This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app. I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app. It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.
