ZEN 8GB connects to PC, but browsing it and transferring music doesn't w

I have a weird problem that started when my laptop began messing up some time ago. When I connect my ZEN 8GB, everything seems normal; computer recognises it and the "AutoPlay" box appears. However, when I press "Organize media files in this device", the ZEN media explorer turn up but the "Convert videos" is greyed out and when pressing "Browse media", the window where contents are supposed to be, is empty. And yes, there is lots of (working) stuff on my ZEN. It doesn't even work syncing with WMP or Winamp. I have tried to uninstall drivers, Creative software and reinstalling everything, but nothing changes. I even formatted my PC and reinstalled Windows Vista, re-installing Creatives software before anything else, and still nothing works. The only thing that works is connecting to the PC using "Removable Disk"-mode in the Memory Card menu and adding files to the memory card. Anyone know what's up with this?

Nevermind, problem resolved by running Clean Up during Recovery Mode. Apparently some files were conflicting with the usability.

    I have the same problem with my ipod touch ... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
    but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
    Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
    good luck tho

  • HT4946 My ipad is saying to connect to itunes but I did and it says ipad is in process of recoveryso must restore and that all media will be lost. I have textbooks for school in kindle app on ipad, will they be erased?

    I was trying to download an app on ipad2 when it said i had to download latest version of software by connecting to itunes My ipad 2 is stuck on screen saying connect to Itunes but once i do then itunes says it is trying to recover the ipad and gives me two choices either to restore to factory and all media will be erased or to cancel and stay stuck without use of ipad2. Im worried about trying to restore to factory because my college textbooks are in my kindle app on that ipad and I CANT LOSE THEM!  Please help

    Try restarting everything and then try to sync or reactivate. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Are you selecting the music to sync to the iPad? Try it this way.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Do you have your sync preferences set to Manually Manage Music And Videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes? If you do, deselect that and try again.

  • FCP 7 drops connection to P2 cardreader while log and transfere operation

    If I insert all 5 P2 cards into my cardreader and starts log and transfere on clips longer than 1 minute. FCP cuts the connection to the firewire port and says: Card not properly ejected, and loging is closed down. Even crashes FCP sometimes.....
    If I only insert 1 P2 card at a time there is no problem... NOT great when you have spanned clips...
    What to do APPLE?

    In the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.

  • IPhone 5 apps dont connect to net but browsing works

    When I bought my iPhone 5 everything was working fine. Now there's a strange problem (when using 3G) where I can browse the net "google stuff" and open sites, however, App Store, Facebook app, twitter app and many other apps wont connect to the net. Other apps like instagram connect. Some apps like Whatsapp, I can send messages through however I cannot recieve nor send pictures (it just fails to send). HOWEVER, when I use WiFI all apps and net work normally with no problems. The only problem is when not using WiFi.
    I removed my SimCard and inserted it into another iPhone 5 and surprisingly everything worked fine. I instered another SimCard into my iPhone but the same problem remained. Ive visited my Carrier several times, all the settings are correct and they claim no problem from their side.
    Im using it in Dubai, it was always fine, however I recently came back from the US which is when the problem began. When I was in the US eveverything was fine too, was using (AT&T). Does anyone have an idea what should I do?? I even tried updating to the latest iOS but that didnt do anything either.

    First charging,
    The USB ports on many computers do not provide enough power for charging a device. The Not Charging message is pretty common. It is recommended to charge your device using the charger that came with it plugged into a known good wall outlet.
    Second connecting to iTunes.
    You don't mention which version of iTunes you have. The iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 or later. If you do not have these latest versions of iTunes download and install iTunes 11.0.1 which is the latest version.

  • Hardware wirelessly connected to internet, but browser is not

    Hi,
    My T61 laptop is only 5months old.  Two months ago it started giving me the following problem:
    My computer claims that it is connected to a wireless network with a good signal strength.  However when I open my Firefox browser, it does not connect to the internet.  Sometimes it does connect with no problems, and sometimes it connects with a very slow speed.  Through all of this my computer still claims I am connected to a wireless network with good speed.
    Sometimes I have to disconnect and connect a couple of times to my network (and other networks that I need to use) for me to be able to use my browser.  I have no idea why my computer does this.  This also happens with IE.
    The extended warranty unfortunately does not cover "software issues" so I have no idea what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Connected to internet, but browser will not open

    I have an HP Pavilion  23 All in One.  After a power outage, the browser will no longer open, even though I am connected to
    the internet via Wi-Fi.  Except for the internet, all other computer functions are working just fine.
    I am using Windows 8.
    Does anyone know how to fix this.  All other computers in the house are working via Wi-Fi without any problems.
    Thx

    Hi,
    Open a Command Prompt and enter "ipconfig/release"  (without quotes)
    Then enter ipconfig/renew
    Also try ipconfig/flushdns and ipconfig/registerdns
    Are you using IE? Set defaults in Internet Options, Advanced tab. (See below).
    Shut down cable/DSL modem and router. Unplug both from AC power for a couple of minutes. Reconnect devices to AC power and energize.
    Still having an issue? Run the System file Checker. Instructions are here.
    Run boot time hardware diagnostics on the patient.

  • WRT54G2 connects IM clients but browser does not work.

    Hi,
    I purchased this router last week and it had been working perfectly. All of a sudden today y lost my VPN connection and all that was connected was the msn and skype, nothing else works. None of the computers work either wired or wireless.
    When i connect the PC directly to the cable modem works perfectly. When i connect the router back, does not work.... Any ideas??

    Does the connection from router work without VPN...?
    Does Modem work with VPN or without VPN...?
    Make the connection (M-R-Comp) again and power cycle the complete network and check.

  • I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

    I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

    It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?

  • IPad connects to network, but not internet, and it was working fine yesterday

    So yesterday it was working fine, conecting to the internet and the router, then all of a sudden 'Safari cannot load the page because it is not connected to the internet', it was the same for all the apps that needed internet.
    My 4th generation iPod touch connects fine and so do other wireless devices on my network, what went wrong and how can I get  my internet back!??
    I have tried resetting the connectivity settings, resetting the router, adding the MAC address of the iPad to my routers 'Safe List' (which it wasnt on before it stopped working), and tried turning on and off the iPad.
    So what can be done to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    A lot of hassle for such an annoying problem but I still have no idea why it didn't connect in the first place!?
    You found a work-around. Can't argue with success but you have not solved your problem. You should continue trying to get it to work via dhcp and dynamic addressing.

    If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message then try a soft-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.
