Why the hell won't this Zen Touch syn

OK, now it's getting frustrating...
On my girlfriend's laptop, I sync my Zen Touch with no issues. On my computer, I can't get this sh$t to work. Can anyone help?!
Here's my details:
I have a USB. on my compuer. I ran into a bunch of issues when syncing. When I did get the Zen to sync (which happened only sporadically), it would sync for a bit and then crap out. Then, I decided to buy a USB 2.0 PCI card for my computer, thinking that maybe my USB speed (or lack thereof), was making the connection fail. I installed the USB card, and voila, I synced my entire library with no issues, and at a good speed. Then, I ripped a bunch of new disks onto my computer. Now when I try to sync, the old problems are back. Basically, my computer tells me that the Zen is not connected, even though it is. In fact, when I plug my Zen in, a little pop up box appears in the Taskbar (by my system clock) telling me that the Zen is connected. It has a link to "Organize", which means it launches the Creative Organizer program...which tells me I'm not connected. The Zen Explorer doesn't work either.
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the Zen drivers and programs, as per a customer service rep at Creative, so I have the latest versions of everything. I have the latest firmware for the Zen already installed. I have the latest drivers for my USB, since it's a new card. I've reset the player and performed a disk cleanup. What else is there?! The only other thing is to get Windows XP Sp2 (I have SP installed, and I really don't want to install SP2 right now). Is SP2 required? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi,
I've been getting the exact same kind of problems with a new Micro, but I have SP2, so I guess that wouldn't solve your problems...
For me, in short, USB syncing only works from Windows Media Player, and sporadically (sometimes, either the device isn't recognized at all, or the micro hangs and I have to remove the battery).
I've removed/reinstalled everything twice, and now things seem to be a bit better (but still far from 00%), but only with WMP. I also disabled USB 2.0, and only use USB . for now. Not sure it has an impact though...
The creative apps (Explorer, etc) never see the player, even if WMP sees it...
I've noticed something:
When I install the Creative Media Explorer app (is that the name?), I get a little "Zen micro explorer" icon in the Windows Explorer tree.
Now, when I connect my Micro to the PC, another little icon appears under the file tree, but I would expect this new icon to appear *under* the Zen Micro Explorer icon in the hierarchy, but it isn't the case; they are both at the root of the tree...
I have the feeling this has something to do with the device not being seen by the Creative ap
ps.
For now, I don't know if this is a device problem (everything works fine on this side), or more probably some config issue on the PC. I'm trying to find another machine to test from.
In the meantime, I'll keep searching. I really like this little gadget, so I wouldn't want to have to return it.
Good luck to both of us!

9iAS : WHY THE HELL I NEED A CDROM ?

Anyone wanna to laugh ?
I've here one computer that it does not have a CD-ROM! I unzip 9iAS disks installation to the HARDDRIVE, and i try to install just clicking on ISETUP from the the 1st disk!
I get an error "NO CD-ROM available"! WHY THE HELL i need a cd-rom i thought! And the installer shut off and don't give me a chance to install! Of course i went to other directories and found a SETUP.EXE and try it... but... BUGS, BIGS, BUGS... Some services wont start, sometime RUNTIME errors... etc!
So, i thought... ORACLE for sure made an alliance with CREATIVE CD-ROM'S department and in every program they made a routine to check if a CD-ROM is present... and i install a CD-ROM on the computer and try it again...
EUREKA... Setup launch from disk... but the CD-ROM presence WAS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
THIS IS FOR ORACLE GUYS... Why the HELL i need a CD-ROM if i install 9iAS from HARD DISK ????
Someone should be lay off!!!!!

Hi Joao,
One possible solution is to use the silent install methods outlined in Chapter 6 of the install guide. The iSetup.EXE launcher is specifically designed for use from the CD's, since that is the most common method of distribution. However, you can also run the installation silently or semi-silently, depending on how much information you provide in the response file. The response files are organized on the first CD under the \silent\<install_type> directories.
If you are installing the Enterprise Edition, please pay special attention to the silent install chapter, as there are several steps involved in handling the 8.0.6 RSF-based components to ensure that they are installed properly.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Larry

Why the hell shall I buy a external product? (x-fi car

Why the hell shall I buy the digital i/o module to have digital output on my soundcard?
I need to have digital output to connect my soundcard to my ddts-00 decoder like i used to do with my old audigy 2 zs.
Why does creative makes me buy a external module which is hard to find and expensi've when i just spent so much money to buy the soundcard?
Im so disappointed with this situation..Message Edited by tecznology on 07-2-20072:3 AM

If you have to buy something, it's an?adapter. If you own a SB460 model you need a miniplug-to-RCA cable or adapter (and the DDTS00 included one) and if you own a SB0730 model you need an optical miniplug-to-toslink adapter or cable.

Why the hell is CC AGAIN telling me I am on a trial version and asking me to login and register?

Why the hell is CC AGAIN telling me I am on a trial version (I am not and have never been) and asking me to login and register?
This happened last year and I thought Adobe had fixed it but it has again been occurring for the past couple of weeks and it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!
... The Adobe CONTACT page is not working. I just get "Select Your Adobe Product" and the little spinning thing saying "Loading" (but it never does). It is NOT my connection. Other pages and other websites are working just fine.

Ah... I feel your pain.
I had to phone Adobe and spend an hour on the phone while they 'fixed' this (yet again) for me.
So far so good... ring or 'live chat' 'em! ... it's the only way

it was a very pleasant experience to use Firefox, but not anymore, i like it even its heavy on the machine and stuck alot lately!!!
the crash reports NEVER managed to be sent i don't know why!!
come on guys, you can do better than that!

Hi ajag,
Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
*''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus [http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/windows8.aspx#antivirus built-in] already.

I just reset my computer How do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer aga

Hi, I just had to reset my computer and i lost all my music... how do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer so i can listen to music again on my computer?

itsVASH,
Basically you do the reverse of how you got it onto the player to begin with. You will open up mediasource, select the Zen Touch in the left hand source window, select PC Music Library on the right hand side. Select your songs and press the arrow pointing to the right.

Why the hell can't I contact Mozilla directly?

Why the hell do I have to ask a question to a public "community"? I want to contact someone at Mozilla directly. Why isn't there a direct contact link? Can someone give me a link, phone number or email address to Mozilla directly. My account has been hacked and compromised!!!

My Account means which one?

Why the iPad became blank black when I syn with itunes and it did not work again?

Why the ipad became blank black when I syn it with itunes of the desk top. It did not work since then.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Who wants micro photo?
This mp3 player (new micro photo?) costs $299, same as ipod
You think creative is normally cheeper, and what does ipod think?
All creative players abe about the same price, Even the non-popular Samsung.
Samsung has color screen, 20gb hd and $299.99. Its not popular, but check the quality.
Post what u think would be the best
I don't really have a need for taking alot of photos, so I wouldn't really care for a Zen with a camera. Also, ipod doesn't have a ipod mini photo, so it would really be hard to create a Zen Micro photo, because micro is smaller. I just read a article about liquid lenses (in Scientific American or Wired), lenses that are very small and don't need to telescope to zoom. When this technology is affordable, there would be a huge boom in mp3 player cameras.
The samsung does seem nice, but I don't need a camra or color screen, and it only has 8 hours of battery life. I will stick with my Touch. Message Edited by penguinking3 on 04-05-2005 0:45 AM

Why the hell can't i make the call?

i bought a monthly plan with 400 mins to call to hk. after i have finished my minutes, i bought another monthly plan, but i couldn't make the call !!! it keeps telling me not enough credits!!! what the hell is wrong with this ????

Subscriptions minutes are given per month, not per payment.
This means if you purchase 400minutes on the 13th then these minutes are available till next month 13th. You can't add another 400 minutes before 13th.
Your order went through and your minutes will become available from the 13th of December.
If you need more minutes right now then you can purchase a different subscription, for example 120minutes.

Why the hell do I keep getting this friggin' error msg"Server not found Firefox can't find the server at .................." ?

Done all suggestions in online help (windows firewall settings, updates, ect.) No problem with IE8 with same webpages.

I'm looking for a solution for the "Server Not Found message I keep getting repeatedly, and this thread does not provide a solution.
However, I had to sign in to say that the "Reset Firefox" feature should never be presented as a first solution to any problem. It's a last resort, not first resort. Doing so is lazy thinking and reckless, especially when dealing with users who may be newbies or inexperienced, or who may not read instructions so carefully and understand the ramifications of wiping their settings and customizations.
There are plenty of articles and Knowledge Base entries that touch upon this user's problem, so why wasn't he directed to those, or at least the invariable "Open in safe Mode", before suggesting such a drastic "solution"?

Why the hell are my creative cloud files being archived!?! i did NOT delete them. this is a completely undependable service.

looks like i can never trust this stupid cloud.
why does this happen?

Hi,
We are aware of this issue already, I am sorry for any issues caused, you can go to the Creative Cloud website and restore all of your files back from archive.

HT1414 why does my ipod say the app incompatible with this ipod touch?

My ipod doesnt allow me to download apps. why is that?

Maybe yoo have a 2G iPod. those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
Otherwise we need more information.

I also have this problem of Firefox updating by itself (also the add-ons) even when I turn off auto-update.
Sometimes you do not want to update or download a large file; because you're working offline, have a slow connection, or have a very low download allowance etc. Usually the update doesn't work and cause Firefox to crash. After that it cannot be started again. This is with Firefox Portable but I think I've had this problem the normal Firefox. With the portable version I can just back up a single folder but it is still time wasting and annoying.
I've noticed that when I start Firefox with auto-update turned off from the previous session, it changes the options to auto-update by itself, it also does this periodically. So every time I start Firefox I have to turn off auto-update, and I have to check again from to time, like a few times a day, because Firefox will by itself turn back on the auto-update.
