Zen 2.0 Help Wan

I got a Zen 2.0 the other day (sent from a friend), and it played the music on it fine, but once i tried to hook it up to my usb port, it just became frozen. I reset it and tried again, but yielded the same results. I read through many posts, and read how to get it into rescue mode, and i did it successfully. I ran clean up, rebooted it, and to no avail, it still would not work. I downloaded the drivers, but i just could not hook up the cable without the player freezing up. Finally, my little brother decided to try something, and when i returned to the room i found out that he decided to reload the operating systems. Is there anything else that i could try to do?
Thanks,

Thanks for all of your input SSR, but I'lI continue to ask for more:
I found another cable that fit the mini usb "b" port in the zen (A Canon cable from my camera) and it was just like the Weison cable that I was given. I plug it into the usb port on my computer (I also tried other computers) and it just freezes up my player, and it won't even detect it on my computer; is it a special kind of cable and would there be any reason that they shouldn't work with my player? Both cables work fine with my camera, but do nothing with the mp3 player.
Thanks,
Kevin

  • Several questions - new to Creative Zen Touch - please help (ripping/accessori

    Hi, I just ordered my new Zen Touch 20gb online last night with a set of Sony earbuds (MDR-EX5LP). I'm pretty excited, get it this Friday.
    I just had a few questions in advance:
    A) Which programs are best for ripping, allow you to adjust the quality of the songs, and won't cause problems when burnt cds are ripped (saw a thread earlier that complained of bad quality when burnt cds were ripped to MP3 that worried me)?
    B) What different types of cables/accessories would you recommend for wiring the Creative up to a stereo? On CNet.com and various other sites, they talk about how the Creative sounds great through speakers, and I'm really excited to hook that up, but I don't know A) Which cable to buy that will work well with the Creative/have good sound quality, B) Where to plug it in - headphone jack? (no analog Line Out, right?)
    C) Has anyone had any experience with the remote? Is it pretty durable? I'm not going to plop down 50 plus shipping and handling, wait 2-3 weeks for the backorder, only to have it fall to bits in a few weeks.
    Thanks SO much! I appreciate any and all help. I'm new to Creative/Mp3 players as a whole, so forgive any ignorance/mistakes.

    I have used WMP0 exclusi'vely for ripping CDs. I rip WMAs at 28kbps, though you may want to go up to 92kbps if you can hear the difference (some people recommed ripping a song at both and deciding which is best). I sync all my CDs with WMP0 too, and have had no issues. One thing to caution you is to make sure your ID3 tags are correct before you sync up. What I mean by this is to make sure the album name, track titles, and artist names are to your liking. 90% it is not an issue, but sometimes, the titles have extra characters you may not wish to have. If you have more than one artist listed on a track, only the first one is loaded. So if you have, say: "EmmyLou Harris; Buddy Miller", the track is stored under artist Emmylou Harris only.</LI>
    Belkin sells this Dell DJ base that the ZT will fit into (there is another thread on that here). That seems like a nice option. You do go out of your headphone jack. Any chord that has the headphone jack on one end, and stereo RCA (red, white) jacks on the other end will do.</LI>
    See other threads about the FM remote. I read some concerns about their durability, but read for yourself and decide.</LI>

  • Can no longer access the files on my Zen Xtra. Help, plea

    I've been using my 60gb zen xtra for over a year now without problems (except for having to replace it twice due to the faulty headphone jacks), but after recently losing one of my hard-dri'ves, I decided to install Creative Mediasource so that I could easily copy all the music on my player to a new hard-dri've. Up until now I'd never used Mediasource - just the regular nomad explorer browser. After I installed Mediasource and rebooted, I can no longer get to the files on the Zen. I know they're still there - I can still play them on the player itself, and I can even access the player - when I click on the Nomad Explorer icon in "my computer" I get into the explorer and the player reacts by going into transfer mode, only when I go into "music library" everything is blank, and when I go into the data library it says 'not connected', even though it's able to show me that I only have 45 gb free, which is accurate. I'm not saying that Mediasource caused this, because I don't know, but I'm desperate to get my music back - having both the hard-dri've fail me and then the player itself would be a catastrophe for me. Any general help, whether with mediasource problems or just general problems accessing the music library would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks!

    Geez, what an embarassment. Found all my files right were they were supposed to be. Uh, all's well that ends well? Again, sorry for cluttering up the board.

  • Zen Micro Installation help...please

    I just got a 5 gig Zen Micro. All was well until I attempted to install the program in the computer, which led to "Error code -600", which told me to clear my temp folder and check my internet connections. I have a cable connection, windows XP, and Norton antivirus. Does this have anything to do with my problem? If not, what am I doing wrong?
    please, someone, help. I'm about to ritually disassemble my micro.
    thanks and happy holidays
    -CmF

    ok i found the problem.
    after a few hours of googling i found that the error is caused by an outdated version of windows installer.
    to fix this problem on your computer find the folder
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield
    and rename it to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield-old
    and then run your install again that should fix your problem

  • Zen Micro firmware help

    Last night my Zen micro locked on the "creative" screen. It wouldn't power up or down. So i removed battery, held the on button and placed the batery in. I navigated to the "reload firmware option" and selected it. How long does this process take? Its been at it for 20 mins only on "erasing firmware". Any ideas/help?

    It should only take a few seconds.
    If functions in rescue mode aren't working properly the player is faulty.

  • Zen Vision:M - help with moving files around once loa

    Guys and Gals, i recently bought the Zen Vision:M and need some help. Once i loaded songs or vdos into it i find that i am not able to move these files from one folder to another. I am using the zen vision explorer program that came with it. it allows me to right click then select 'cut' or 'copy' but then when i navigate to where i want to paste it the paste option is greyed out when i right click. anyone have a solution for this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

    it sucks... you want a song in one folder like the album into another right? Yeah you have to modify the ID tags to do that.... I took all my songs and changed the album name to ALL for my zvm using snackamp. Look it up it works fine. You can choose the songs you want to a particular album (works for 200 at a time) and choose the album for them all. Thats the only advantage of iPod i'd have to say... the ALL option under songs... so yeah get snackamp, use it, take all the songs off your zen and re-add them and it should be fine.

  • How to play music from ZEN?? HELP PLEAS

    Ok, I brought my ZEN 8GB to work today, thinking of listening to some songs while working. Please note that I'm not allowed to install any software onto my workplace's PC. So, I plugged in my ZEN to the USB port. Driver installs. Then, I went to my ZEN's Music folder, selected all the mp3 and hit Enter. Instead of playing the music in WMP, it created a playlist for me. I can only play one song at a time by right-clicking the song and click Open/Play. I tried to load the playlist, which is .pla format, into WMP but WMP returned me an error message instead.
    Please help me with this! I really wanna listen to music from my ZEN through the PC!

    Quote:
    But if I sync my device, assuming my office's WMP's version supports it, won't the songs in my device be gone Synnchronising means if I delete the song from the playlist, won't it also delete the song from my device
    Are you deleting songs Playlist are lists tied to songs
    If you sync with your player and have nothing on your PC then I believe your PC would be updated with the latest data.
    In any case PLEASE backup your music before attemping anything on this company PC.
    PLEASE Check under WMP Sync menue and find the help files.
    Normally, under zen explorer there is a sync manager in task bar which you could set up the
    direction for synchronization - I normally have mine ALWAYS FROM THE DEVICE TO THE COMPUTER AND IN THE MANUAL MODE.
    What is so hard in your case is that you have no control over the computer you are using (Company PC) by being able to have
    the proper drivers and latest WMP software installed.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra: Need help getting it to work with Vis

    Does anyone know if the Zen Xtra will work with Windows Vista 32-bit's? I have tried installing the software that came with my MP3 player on my laptop that runs with Vista and it just doesn't work. Are there new drivers that I need? Please help!

    i just found another, easier way to make you zen xtra work with windows vista
    go to the support page and download the oldest driver, i think it's version .30 or somehting like that
    install that- it should prompt you to overwrite a newer version of the driver, if it does, say ok
    vista might then ask you if it installed correctly, say no, and run the installation in compatibility mode
    then download the oldest version of nomad explorer, and install that
    instead of using the preset instalation directory, select browse
    i'm not sure if this has any effect, but i think some of the folders are renamed for vista
    when the installation is finished, select "restart my computer now"
    if you wait, it may not work properly
    this should get nomad explorer running properly with vista
    if you don't like this program and prefer creative media source organizer, you can now transfer your music to your harddri've and update your firmwar, without having to worry about external storage, a dual boot system, or any of those messy options

  • Install for Zen microphoto? Help PLEAS

    Hi, I have a zen microphoto, and had installed it on my laptop using the disk a couple of months ago. I lost my entire hard dri've, thus...the installation of my mp3 player, and, of course, I left the installation disk lying on the coffee table and my dog decided to make it a new chew toy and snapped it in half. I tried looking, but where can I find software to download to get my player working again? I already tried just plugging it in and seeing if it showed up in "My Computer" so I could just drop files into it, but it alas is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
