Zen micro plugged in, says 'player not connect

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000099>i looked at the faq,
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000099>but am not much of a computer head, and really didnt understand a word of it!
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000099>but um yeah its only the organiser that does this, the 'explorer' connects fine.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000099>
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000099>so how do i fix it's?

chole,
Which explorer are you referring to that works? Windows explorer or Zen Micro Media Explorer? What's your player current firmware version? More information would be better.

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer says ' Device not connect

    Brand new Zen. windows2000. Installed software from disc. I have the icon at bottom right but Media Explorer says its not connected. **bleep**!! this is a Christmas present and now we can't even use it!! Ive searched the forums but can't find anyone having this problem on win 2000. anyone? thanks

    FIRMWARE applies to the device.. right? how can I load firmware if the device isn't recognized? Wouldn't my pc have to detect the player in order to write new firmware to it's?!!
    I knew I should have got the Nano. I'll never get this running now in time for Christmas. Thanks alot Creative!! OH and my usb ports are fine.. lots of other devices run fine on them. I've tried both ports. Besides.. the driver shouldn't be outdated should it's I just bought it yesterday. Shouldn't the driver included with the brand new player at least get it running? AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Computer says "player not connect

    my player is actually connected up to my computer but it says it isnt. my mp3 player says its "docked" but apparently to show that the mp3 player is connected, a little image should appear on your mp3 player screen with like scattered lines coming out of the image but mine doesnt. the lines are solid which shows nothings happening. but in the control panel my mp3 player is there and it says its working properly.

    It could be some usb drivers problems, you have the 'tida' sound from xp saying that something is connected, but when trying to upload firmware the program says 'Please connect player'. If these are your symptoms, mayba I can help you, I had same symptoms when I tried to upgrade my micro to 2.xxx recently...
    If so, and if you would like to go back to .xxx, try on a Creative free computer, install micro drivers on it, your player should be detected (it worked for me...) and then you should be able to upload the firmware...
    Good luck...

  • "player not connected" (it is connected!)... and no firmware n

    Here are the hardware & software infos:
    NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra (40gb) model #DAP-HD00
    Creative Media Source [CMS] 3.30.2
    Windows XP Professional 5. (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 : Service Pack 2)
    Windows Media Player [WMP] .0.572.5230
    connects via USB 2.0
    On the Zen it has no firmware but displays menu under the heading "Rescue Mode v.3 / Boot v.4, HW v0.0."
    Upon plugging Zen into USB...
    - On the Zen itself, it displays picture indicating connected status
    - Windows recognises pops up a message asking what to do with it (sync with WMP, take no action, explore, etc)
    - In Device Manager, it says: "working properly"
    - In WMP under Sync tab, it says: "Select files to synchronize"
    Problem in a nutshell: Software thinks the player is not connected even though it is. There is no firmware on the hardware, & I can't put any on because of the connection issue.
    And here is the problem, in more detail:
    It started when I upgraded to Windows XP (from 2000). The software still works great for ripping mp3s, but I can't put any of these mp3s onto the Zen.
    I'd plug it in & there would be a message in the corner of the screen saying "NOMAD Jukebox 2/3/Zen detected: Organize Now". I'd click on it but within CMS it would then say "Player is not connected", & the same for WMP & Windows Explorer.
    I tried uninstalling & reinstalling from the CD that came with the Zen, but nothing changed.
    So I went to your website & downloaded some update files. I was able to update to CMS 3.30.2, but 5.0.38 wouldn't work due to "player not connected" (though it was). I updated to firmware .20.08, but still the same problems were occurring. So I tried the firmware 2.0.03 in order to get "PlaysForSure", & it wouldn't work because of "other applications" no matter how many I closed (including turning of "Detection" mode in CMS & ending all "CT*" processes). So I decided to do it in Windows Safe Mode since that's less programs running. This worked halfway, but Safe Mode didn't want me to install new hardware on it so it stopped. Back in Normal Mode, it finished installing the player as a "Windows Portable Device"/"MTP". But, in both Normal & Safe Mode it won't install any firmware because the "player is not connected".
    By the way I have also tried numerous USB ports & cables, with no difference in results.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    PS. I tried e-mailing customer support via the web form, but immediately got "undergoing site maintenance" error message.

    Hm. No I didn't. Which article are you referring to I used this one - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ionofthePlayer - but it doesn't say anything about registry keys.
    If you mean the security changes in registry referred to here - http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=0053 - then I have done that.
    I tried searching the forums for "windows media player" & "registry keys", couldn't find anything else. (PS: the search engine isn't very good...)
    But it seems you are referring to something else; please point me in the right direction.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

It has a tick beside the name and everything! Also it has three bars saying im fully connected but whenever i go onto an app that requires wifi it says im not connected. I have reset my ipod, reset the settings, forgot the network then connected again, everything!!!! No matter what i cant get wifi for anything that i need it for.
    Please, Please, Please, Please can someone give me an answer that will work and if you do answer please tell me what an router is because everyones talking about it and i don't know what it is??!!!  
    PLEASE

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Power cycle the router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My camera doesn't work, it says its not connected.

    Hi, i got a macbook air, and its been a while since my camera doesnt work,
    its says its not connected.

    What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • After updating Firefox it says complete. But on the home page it says can not connect please refresh which I do and nothing happens. So it says try later and I have tired for tow days now. HELP!!

    Having problems with updating Firefox. It keeps on saying can not connect try again later.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

    hi, my iphone 4s is saying im not connected to the internet, my wifi is on and ive tried switching it off and on and nothing, still cant connect. help! it was working perfectly fine earlier today.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
