Zen goes to blackscreen after charging during songs

I have a 32 gb x-fi and for some reason after I fully charge it, the screen goes black only a few minutes later. I cannot turn it off either, and am forced to hit the reset button. It then rebuilds and then the process repeats itself and I'm lucky if I can listen to 2 songs at the most.
Does anyone know what to do?

I also would like to add, that sometimes the screen goes to black while charging as well.
No one else experienced this problem?

Zen V Plus 4gb keeps freezing during song trans

Brand new out of the box, during song transfer it freezes, I can get about 50-80 tracks then it freezes. updated firmware, tried different size playlist, nothing seems to help. Warrantiy repair? Also to note before firmware upgrade I had it freeze while moving FM preset to another location.

I have this same problem.

IPhone Volume slider goes wonky after charging!

Ok; I have a WEIRD question. (then again, when isn't a tech question weird? Nevermind.)
So, I have a completely babied iPhone 3GS. Never fallen even an inch, been in a case since I got it, I even clean the screen. :3 I have iTunes 9.0.1.8, and a Griffin wall charger/adapter that I bought about 2 years ago when I got my older iPod. That's what I use (in conjunction with the new cord I got with my iPhone a few months ago) to charge it. Now my question: (and yes, all this was relevant!) It would appear that my iPhone's volume control on its iPod (not on other audio apps such as Pandora or Youtube, only iPod) goes ABSOLUTELY WONKY after charging it on this wall charger. Nothing else breaks, it all works normally, even plays normally, except the volume slider bounces around like it's on drugs and sticks to a very loud place on the slider. In addition, while it's plugged into this charger and ONLY while plugged in, the whole screen's touch sensitivity goes weird, too. It thinks my finger is somewhere other than where it is. It registers a touch an inch below where my fingertip really is on the screen & is unresponsive at random. This is fixed by unplugging it from the charger.
The volume slider is fixed by plugging in & syncing the phone with my computer (using an older iPod cord: I have way too many so I use one for the computer & the newer one for the charger), but then it promptly goes back to broken after I plug it into the wall charger for a couple hours. I've never used a car charger on it (heard that's bad). It's not practical for me to open my laptop every time I wanna charge this guy; should I use a different wall adaptor? Is an old Griffin adaptor not good for iPhone? (btw: I can manually move the volume down with the button on the side of the phone, but the slider on-screen doesn't show the difference; I just hear less volume.)
Many thanks, and best of luck (all of us dealing with technology need it)!

Got the same problem... but I'm using only original hardware. The problem with the volume control is only appearing when using the Ipod (on the Iphone). The volume control on the Youtube App for example is working fine. Also it is only the volume control on the touch screen and not the hardware volume control button. The screen volume controller sticks to a certain level and when trying to move it, it follows my finger but jumps back to its initial position as soon as my finger is no more touching the screen. Furthermore the indicated volume on the screen does not correspond to the real volume level. I.e. I can turn up the volume on the hardware volume controller as much as possible and the screen volume controller stays at the same position...
I am not using any of the mentionned apps!? However I got quite a lot of apps so it is possible thant one of them is causing the problem. Does anyone have a list of all apps that are causing this problem?
Btw: I am using the new 3GS with the latest software on both Iphone and iTunes..
Thank you!

Zen goes blank during file transfer

i own a Zen 32GB flash player, and recently it has been going blank and forcing me to reset when i try to transfer files using the mediasource organizer. it connects fine, is recognized, and i can ever browse it, but when i try to transfer files the player goes from a "docked" screen to a blank one, the organizer reports an error, and i have to reset the player. this occurs with different files, so the cause isn't a faulty file. i am running the most recent version of MSO, and the latest drivers and firmware. OS is XP?sp2.
recovery mode cleanup also didn't help, and since the transfer rate is very slow i rather avoid formatting if i can.
has anyone experienced the same problem? any help would be appreciated.

'Re: Zen goes blank during file transfer. I have also experienced this same problem. I am currently using Windows 7 RC with Windows Media Player 2, but it was previously happening when running Windows XP SP3 with WMP.
I have actually had my player replaced already since I had this same problem on my previous player. That started occurring after having had the player for around 4 months. On first occurring a reset and clean up from the recovery mode was enough to get it going again, at least for a week or so. It then started occurring more frequently and I was forced to format the device. Again this seemed to fix the problem initially, but after just a few days it got to the point where even that wouldn't get it working again, at which point I sent it back and received a new device.
I've now had my replacement device for only a few weeks and it's started to happen again. I haven't yet resorted to a format, but a cleanup isn't working.
From my observation it seems to be in some way related to general power issues with the device. When the problem occurs the screen goes off and the player isn't recognised by the PC, but the power light on the side of the device remains lit orange, so it hasn't actually turned off. I've also had ongoing problems, on both devices, where I often can't turn the player back on after either I've turned it off or it's gone through the auto power down after leaving it on pause. In that case I also have to reset the device via the side button, and then wait a few minutes for the library to rebuild.
I too would appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to provide some help with this problem, because my initial workarounds as described only work for a short period of time and I would prefer not to have to send it back a second time.

Discharge it to around 50-60% then completely shut it off. Store at around room temperature. When you return connect the charger and let the battery fully charge.

Hello my iPhone 5 keeps going dead fast after 100 % charged.

I did that, and the issue persisted. I'm several hours from an Apple store, and I can't be without a phone for that long. Not to mention they want $269 to fix it, and I only paid $399 for it.

My library wont show up in itunes goes to blank screen will play songs just cant see them

can't get my library to stay on itunes screen pops up for a minute then goes blank it will play my songs and tells me how many songs are in library but i can't see how to get it stay on screen

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IDevices with Lightning Port - Silent Mode after Charging

Hi,
I have been tracking and troubleshooting an issue with iOS devices - iPhone 5 (two units) and iPad 4 since its launch and iOS 6.0 until now at latest iOS 6.0.1/6.0.2 (dependent on device) without much success to narrow the cause.
It appears that the various iOS devices with lightning port that I (and my partner) have exhibits the issue of it going into "Silent Mode" after charging. And once it gets into this "Silent Mode", the toggling the silent switch on and off will not have any effect, and so does any of the sound settings. The only way to resolve this permanent "Silent Mode" is to restart the iOS device.
All the lightning cables used are Apple genuine ones purchased direct from Apple Online Store (during the initial weeks of iPhone 5 launch, total purchased 3 on top of those that came with iPhone 5 and iPad 4). The charging adapter/device varies though, from Apple 10W iPad charging adapter, Apple 12W iPad charging adapter (that cause with iPad 4), to Dell Latitude E6400 laptop and Apple Mac Mini (2011). This issue has been random irregardless of which charging adapter/device used, but has been more prone to occur when charging from the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop (the most number of times it has happened on both iPhone 5 and iPad 4).
Is anyone experiencing similar issue? Or have any suggestions to reproduce the issue?

Haven't experienced this on either of 2 iPhone 5's or an iPad Mini.
Try restoring one of the devices. See if that helps. Since you have multiple devices to test on, restore a different one as a "new" device.
If the one restored as 'new' does not have problems, and the other does, then it can probably be traced to an app that they have in common or corruption in the backup used to restore them.

HT201401 After downloading a song last month, I haven't been able to play any of my music on my phone except for the one new song! Help!

After downloading a song a little over a month ago I haven't been able to play any of my other songs, why? Please help!

Here is what you can try,
Hold both the power and home buttons until the device powers off, may take 10sec. Let go of both as soon as screen goes black.
Open itunes on your computer and plug in your cable to the computer but NOT the phone.
Once itunes is open hold down the home button on phone and plug in cable and continue holding home button until you see the connect to iTunes logo on screen. iTunes will give a msg that a device has been detected in recovery mode. Now select restore and do not disconnect until you see your device in iTunes again.
Set the device up as NEW and see if the issue is still there.

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging

(Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging( Hi, I recently bought a refurbished ZVM that doesnt seem to charging properly. When I first got it, it hadnt been charged in quite some time so the battery was overdead. My PC couldnt detect it when I connected it via usb and it didnt even start charging at all. I then connected it to a wall charger and it finally started charging. The strange thing is it never fully charges. I've charged it twice now, both times for at least about 2 hours, and the battery doesnt go more than 50%. And when I connect it to my PC to transfer songs, instead of resuming its charge, my battery runs out. Is this a case of a faulty battery? I li've in Australia and I bought it from the USA. I would prefer not to go through the trouble of returning it if I could. Anything I should do like leaving it to charge for an even longer time? Also one more thing I should mention. When I remove the wall charger and plug it back in, it takes the ZVM sometime to detect it, about 30 minutes or so, and start charging again. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. I just mailed mine in for repair today.

After purchasing a song on the iTunes store, the song did not download entirely. How can I get a refund or download it again without rep[urchasing it?

After purchasing a song in the iTunes store, the song was downloaded, but when I went to play it, it was not completely recorded. How can I get a refund or download it again without being charged again on my account?

Hi Dan,
If the song does not appear in your Purchased folder, then you can go back to the Store, select the song again, go select "Buy", and press Enter. iTunes knows you already purchased it, so it won't charge you again. It will, in fact, tell you that you have already purchased this item, and will ask you if you want to download it again for free....
Just in case it is not to be found in the Purchased folder!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Smart playlists have old status after charging ipod

after charging my ipod when the battery had been empty, for example the "least recently played"-smart playlist has songs in it, which were also there before charging and i have already played before.
not until i play one song in it, the playlist updates and the other already-before-charging-played songs disappear.
is it a bug?

16 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging

Hi,
4 weeks ago I bought my x-Fi style and used it during my holidays for 2 weeks. After charging the player only twice (USB-connection with notebook), it now fails starting. Maybe there is an internal temperature fuse to protect from overheating and I only have to wait to try again? After connecting to USB the CREATIVE sign appears but disappears directly and a battery symbol appears and remains on the screen. After disconnecting the player does not react in any way. I already tried to reset but cannot start it again.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers,
Uli

Re: 6 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging:Just fyi
I found the website for Creative to be very frustrating. Not one snail mail address or corporate headquarters info. The link for website feedback didn't work and one other customer service link was a dud. They clearly don't want to be 'bothered' with complaints, or anything positi've for that matter!
But, I searched on the forum and found a three-year-old post about someone who was frustrated with having to carry around a paperclip to always push 'reset' on his X-Fi -- and the light dawned! Didn't know I had one of those. I pressed reset and voila! it is working again. Still had to charge it, but it accepted the charge this time and I was able to finish my book and move on to the next. Now, the next problem is I tried to access my wireless network which has a $ in the password and there is no $ in the choices for entering a password. So, now I have to change the password, change all of my device passwords (Blu-Ray, iPad, laptops(2), friend's laptops, etc. a huge pain. Seems to me they could have included a $ in the choices!
