Zen Nano book transfer prob

I am having problems transferring my downloaded library books. They won't go from my Creative Organizer on to my Zen Nano. I am getting an error message when I start the transfer. Can this be a problem with my Nano Plus or with the computer software I feel confident that it downloaded to my computer without a problem, because I can play the books on the computer. Have I used up my Nano & need to replace it's Can I reload anything that could help ?

Your message is blank tictocs, but I recomend you right click the icon (media source blue arrow icon, windows media player red, yellow, green, blue arrow circle) and select "send to" from the drop down, then the Nano from that drop down.

  • Zen Nano Plus transfer prob

    Am having trouble transferring .wma files to my Zen Nano Plus even though it has 590MB free. When I try to transfer anything using Creative Source I keep getting a "transfer error" message. Have tried reorganising files into folders to cut down on memory used in the root folder - but it doesn't seem to help. It's even stopped letting me transfer between folders. Has anyone else had this problem.. Anyone know what to do??

    I'm having the exact same problem with my Nano Plus, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. I contacted technical support and they told me to download the Firmware update and gave me these directions:
    Zen Nano Plus Firmware Update:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=2720&dlcentric=9423&Product_ Name=ZEN+Nano+Plus&OSName=Windows+XP
    To install this firmware upgrade, do the following:
    - Connect your player to your computer.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file.
    - When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
    - Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to your computer's USB port.
    - Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player to your computer.
    - Release the Play button when the "Find New Hardware" dialog box appears on the computer screen.
    - Follow the instructions on the screen to install recovery drivers for your player.
    - Double-click the firmware upgrade file and follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure to select the "Format Data Area" option within the Update.
    However, at step 6 my computer did not recognize my player with it being on and neither did the Firmware. I responded to Technical Support and told them this. They said it seemed like it needed repaired or replaced! Even though there is a -year warranty, there is only a 3 month labor warranty, which means if you send it in to get fixed and it has passed the 3-month labor warranty, you have to pay a $24.95 diagnostics and handling fee. If you're in this situation, they said the best thing to do is try to exchange it wherever you bought it first. I hope this helps!

  • Creative Zen Nano Plus transfer USB sp

    ?How to know my ?

    You'll have to transfer some files and time them - the player uses USB 2.0 but the transfer speed is often limited by the RAM that is used in the player so you won't see the full speed that you expect. Creative seem to use quite low speed (read cheap!) RAM in their devices. PB

  • Problem with transfer and ordering of tracks on new Zen Nano P

    I recieved my Gb Zen Nano Plus player on wednesday and transferred quite a few tracks to the player that night. They transferred fine, I was able to customize the playing order and all the songs play fine.
    But since then, I have been unable to transfer tracks to the player or change the order of the tracks. The player is recognised when I plug it in, but I am just unable to do anything with the tracks!! I have plenty of memory left and it isn't anything to do with the USB.
    I really need to know what's going on and how to fix it :-(
    Help!!!

    What error message do you get when you try to transfer the extra files?
    Are all files in the root folder? If so see the FAQ.

  • Downloading a book on CD to my Zen Nano Plus mp3 pla

    Does anyone know the best way to download a cd book to my Zen Nano plus Player?
    thanks
    pejid

    I have a MuVo TX FM for audio books, but I imagine the procedure would be the same for your Zen Nano.
    There may be faster/easier ways, but this is what I do:
    I use the "Free CD Ripper" (http://koyotstar.free.fr) to rip the CDs to MP3 files on my computer. Each disk's files are stored in a separate folder. I use the book name and disk number for the album name (e.g. Book Title 0). Go to the configuration screen to set the file name to be Album - Track (%A - %N). I find ripping at 48Kbps is sufficient for my ear and it saves space. After that, I can just copy the folders to my player and listen. On my player everything is played in alphabetical order, so the above naming scheme works quite well.
    As an improvement, you can use MP3 Book Helper (http://mp3bookhelper.sourceforge.net/) to rename the tracks from "Track 0" to include the book name, disk number and track: "Hobbit 0-05". On my player there is about 6 characters of space available for displaying the track name while playing and it is nice to easily see where you are in the book.
    Finally, note that some Creative players have a 40 folder and 500 file limit on what they can detect/play. So you need to be careful not to overfill your player. It won't hurt it, but some files and folders won't be playable. To fully use the space available, you could use an MP3 Joiner to combine the files together in order to stay under the limit. At this point I haven't bothered with this step since I can still store two books without exceeding the limit.
    Good luck,
    Doug

  • Zen Nano Plus - Used Battery vs. New Battery Prob

    I downloaded some WMA files from Walmart.com and successfully transferred them to my Zen Nano Plus. They played fine. But the battery, which was already low on power, died. I switched in a new battery and tried playing WMA files, but they would only play for about three seconds before the mp3 player shut off.
    I switched back in the old battery and the WMA files played just fine.
    Both the old and new battery play the MP3 files, so there's no problem there.
    Is the problem related to voltage or something? Please help.

    Known issue, check [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=40235&view=by_date _ascending&page=">this thread[/url].
    No solution yet, I'm afraid.

  • My zen nano plus prob

    I uploaded the holy bible audio in my Zen nano plus mp3 I bought three days ago. totally 66 folders, but can only show up 38 folders, new testament 2, old testament 7, I try to delete, format, and upload again, the problem is still here.
    two friends met the same problem. one is the zen nano, the one is the <FONT color=#333333>Muvo TX FM.
    If any body have the same problem before, thanks a lot for your gus help.

    There is a maximum number of folders supported by the players and it depends on the firmware version. It varies between 50 and 60 folders including the automatically created folders such as Encoded Tracks and Recorded Tracks.
    This also includes high level folders without files in them - if you had an NT folder with 20 folders in it and an OT folder with 30 folders in it then that would be 52 folders not 50. The last ones alphanumerically are ignored.

  • Zen Nano Boot Prob

    I think this player has an issue with the size of MP3s. I regularly load and listen to fairly large MP3 podcasts, 50-70 MB per file. Just the other day the player was acting like it had a dead battery, it would shut itself off and then when attemping to boot up again it would say "Creative", then "Zen Nano..", the it would shut off again.
    I tried a few new batteries and got the same response. Occasionally it would boot and start playing, but as soon as I changed tracks it would shut off again.
    It seems I finally fixed it by deleting one of the large MP3s. Player appears to be back to normal now.
    I also noticed that some large MP3s have intermittent problems when trying to skip over them. The player will stop responding for a few seconds. This doesn't happen all the time.
    Anyway, maybe you guys should look into your firmware and see if there is anything that can be optimized. There's someone else on this board that complained about the same thing. Thanks.
    EDITED to say that the problem is back. The fix only lasted for a few hours. There is definitely something wrong with this player... Please check your firmware for bugs, thanks.Message Edited by mocha on 2-23-2005 05:0 PM

    Well I guess no one cares or never had this problem, but I can say that now after I loaded the latest firmware the player is back to normal. I don't understand why the firmware would get corrupted but in any case it works now.

  • Zen Nano music prob

    i just bought a Zen Nano yesterday and i downloaded my songs on to it but the thing is now when i play some of those songs about 20 secs in the player turns off... this happends with like 5 out of 0 tracks on my player... please someone help me.

    It only happens with some songs? If it is a small percentage of the songs, then those files might be defecti've. If so, then delete the defecti've files from the player. If it is a large percentage of the songs, then see below.
    First try a different battery. If that doesn't help, then reload the firmware. You can download the firmware from here.
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/
    If that doesn't work, then you might have gotten a defecti've player so then exchange the player.

    'Have you managed to put any songs onto your player at all?' I copied about 40 onto it in one go and it only copied on 20 or so before saying one of the songs directories cannot be created.
    'Is your player recognised by Media Explorer, Windows Media Player and MediaSource?'
    yes by all 3
    'Does it appear with its own dri've letter in Windows Explorer?' yes

  • Zen Nano 1GB (not plus) not playing DRM audio bo

    Okay. So I've read very similar problems here, but none quite like mine. I've read through my manual (actually, I only have the downloaded manuals, and there doesn't seem to be one for a Zen Nano GB... It's not a Plus and it's not a Nano 52MB).
    My whole reason for purchasing my Nano was b/c it can play DRM audio files & I want to listen to audio book downloads.
    In any case, I know not to drop and drag my DRM files, that won't work.
    I got a (refurbished, works fine) Zen Nano GB a few weeks go. If I drag and drop regular mp3 or WMA audio files, they work fine. If I sync regular song files with WMP, they work fine.
    It's the DRM files I'm having problems with. I tried sync-ing with WMP , (after opening the DRM file and obtaining the license (these are audio books from NetLibrary.com, and I've followed their instructions as well as those for the Nano). Once I've obtained the license, I sync. The audio book appears on the Nano, but will not play.
    I tried updating (or, perhaps it was downgrading) the firmware, and then used WMP 9 to sync, and managed to get one audio book to play. I thought I was ready to go. It was awesome. The whole book played and I enjoyed it.... but... once I finished the book, and re-synced and tried to add a new book.... nothing.
    I've re-installed various versions of firmware, tried on WMP and WMP 9 AND tried using Creative's own software to sync (after opening the files in WMP and obtaining the license)... Nothing. Lots of wasted time, tho.
    I'm not quite a newbie with mp3 players or computers, but I am capable of "missing" something.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide & please let me know if I forgot anything specific that could aid in any solutions,
    MomLikesMusic (and audio books!)

    To "downgrade" firmware (I don't have any idea if that's what it's really called, it's certainly not an upgrade!):
    Through another posting on this message board, I found a link to this site:
    http://dapjukebox.altervista.org/mod...ownload&cid=85
    which has other firmware versions available (some are still on the Creative downloads page as well, but the oldest ones are not). The site seems to be in Italian (?).
    I downloaded and saved (and virus-scanned) the firmware of _0_02.
    Then, I followed the installation instructions from another firmware download from Creative:
    "To install this firmware, do the following:
    1. Download the [_0_02] file into your local hard disk.
    2. Make sure your player is connected to your computer.
    3. Double-click the downloaded file.
    4. If you are prompted to reset your player, click OK.
    5. If the Find New Hardware dialog box appears on the computer screen, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard.
    6. When the firmware download dialog box appears, click Start and follow the instructions on the screen."
    Because I had nothing on my player, I didn't have anything to lose, data-wise. And it worked. One of these days I may try to upgraded the firmware to see if I can still transfer...
    I saved a few other firmware downloads (updates) to try in the future -- rather than go hunting for them again.
    Please note, the Nano I have isn't listed in the Creative products -- the one I have says Creative Zen Nano GB on it; no where can I find such a thing. Since it's a factory refirbished model I bought off e-bay, I suspected older firmware may work on it... If you have a newer model, it may not work. I'm not an expert (this whole MP3 stuff still boggles my 37-year-old mind sometimes), so be careful what you do to your player!
    Good luck,

  • Zen Nano + OverDrive Media Audio Bo

    . I've already chugged through both the FAQ on this site regarding posting as well as read through all appropriate/similar problems to what I am currently experienceing, however, none of what has been previously discussed resolves my problem, therefore, I am posting my issue.
    2. I purchased the Zen Nano Plus specifically and deliberately to listen to audiobooks from OverDri've and NetLibrary. Running into a brick wall with OD however have not yet tried NetLib. I don't expect NetLib to be much different since Win Media player still has to be used to copy the files over to the player.
    3. The Zen xfers music as it should either using the nanny/bloatware from the Zen CD or Win Explorer. But when it comes to xferring audiobooks, it's a no go. I am using a Win2k SP3 box with Windows Media Explorer 9 because 0 and above only works on XP. The Overdri've books work in both Win Media as well as the OverDri've Console. However, Win Media Player will absolutely not transfer any audiobooks. Instead it generates the wonderful error that reads as follows:
    "Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error."
    There are 2 choices. Close or Web Help.
    Clicking on Web Help leads you to a pg on Microcrap's website, which is, by and large, completely and irrevocably useless because the page that it was apparently supposed to default to resolve the error reads as follows:
    "You've encountered error message C00DCD while using Windows Media Player. Additional information is not currently available for this error."
    Every suggestion I have read regarding similar problems to mine encourages the use of Win Media Player so that the nannywear/DRM licensing can be properly transferred from source to audiobook player. And I have been using nothing but the Win Media Player, which, true to form and what I have completely expected given it is a Microcrap product, has been spectacularly worthless.
    Does anyone want to even attempt to troubleshoot this issue or shall I just return the Zen and give up on the expectation of successfully xferring audiobooks to an mp3 player.Message Edited by ZenWarrior on 09-6-2006 05:09 PM

    <i>Why not try NetLibrary? First try an audiobook that is under 200MB. I use the free Real Player (www.real.com) to download most of my audiobooks and it works well for all sizes of NetLibrary Books. You still have to have Windows Media Player downloaded to take care of the licensing.</i>
    I just determined I can't use NetLibrary because my home library doesn't use the audiobook services. So nothing in the collection is available. And RP is not compatible with Overdri've audio books. I attempt to open a title with RP, RP bitches about needing a software update to play the clip, it then connects to the Net, generates a no-software-update-necessary message and promptly doesn't play the clip because it does not recognize the Overdri've .odm file extension.
    For the record, there does not seem to be anyone anywhere who has the resolution to this problem. I've looked far and wide all over the net and no one has a resolution. Not even the [url="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.play er&tid=f0b3ebdd-6486-4bfd-b76e-3076062a38c&cat=en-us-wma-nwsgrps&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=&p=">Micro$oft WMP newgroup[/url] itself.
    As to checking all pc requirements, etc., I have already gone through the routine and then some. I am above average tech savvy and used to work in I. T. so this problem is not something I did not have clue one as to how to troubleshoot. Posting to this forum was not even a consideration until I had exhausted my own troubleshooting routine. The problem is that in my experience, when an issue on this level arises, I have yet to find a resolution to it from any public forums on the net b/c if I can't determine a resolution, then no one else can either. I strongly suspect this is another example of that axiom.
    End result, I can't use the Zen Nano Plus to listen to Overdri've audiobooks because the DRM has the content locked down and refuses to allow it to transfer to the player despite all the DRM bull**bleep** licensing hoops the user has to jump through. This is just another glaring example of how DRM and its cousin the DMCA retard technological progress. Anyone reading this thread should familiarize himself with his U.S. Code Title 7, ?07 rights and get involved with Digital Consumer.org. If the very users of the content don't give a **bleep** enough to stop these corps from taking over, it's not a very far stretch to state that they will end up charging you, the consumer, for every copy you own of anything digital. That means for the copy you want to read on your desktop pc in RP or WMP, cha ching. The copy you want to play on your mp3 player, cha ching. The copy you want to burn to a CD/DVD, cha ching. Get educated. Get involved. Or kiss your digital rights and all the technological innovations that come down the pike goodbye.Message Edited by ZenWarrior on 09-7-2006 :4 AM

  • I am having a problem with my Zen Nano P

    When I first got the player for my birthday it was great. I transferred a lot of music onto it and would take it to work out or just to listen to it. But like all people I got bored with the list so I deleted all the music and made another one. Well after three lists I can no longer sync it with my computer. I have tried everything. The USB ports are working, I can sync other devices up with my computer, but for some reason I can no longer transfer songs. Its not like other problems I have read about like man I can't transfer all the songs I want no I can't transfer any songs, and the player has been emptied.
    So lets recap, no songs on the player, have tried Mediasource and Windows Media Player, and still can not transfer any songs at all. And I think my warranty has run out so I can't get my money back or get a new player.
    Please help if someone can.

    You are welcome. I am happy that the redownloading of the firmware helped you and fixed your problem. It is the first thing I try whenever my players don't do what they are supposed to do. I use my Zen Nano Plus mainly for audiobooks. It is a great little player.

  • How can I get my itunes library on my Zen Nano Pl

    I have a large selection of music in my itunes library and would like to get them into my Creative Zen Nano. I also have alot of music on my hard dri've and am having a hard time getting it to load. Help!? Sloan493

    Hi Sloan,
    What format is your music in? If the music is in MP3 format then it should be fairly straightforward, you can transfer them across to the player and they should work. Where do you run into issues, and what happens exactly?
    If the music is in AAC format it will not work, that format is not supported by the player. Provided the tracks aren't protected, you can convert them to MP3 first, and then transfer to the player.
