Zen Sleek and battery charg

I just purchased a Zen Sleek and I am currently charging it. The manual says it will take approx. 2 hrs. to charge, but it is running on 4 hrs.
It zipped past bars one, two and three. It is currently still showing as charging on the third bar, and has been like this again for 4 hrs.
How long does it take to complete, I'm hoping I don't have another bad Creative product on my hands.

It looks like I got my second defecti've Creative product in 5 months. FIrst, my Micro goes back for a refund because of the headphone jack, now the Sleek has an issue with the battery not fully charging. I read their knowledgebase, but I have found posts regarding others who have had to return their Sleek because of this defect.
Well, I will get a refund, and will NEVER touch Creative again, I have a Rio (which works great 00% of the time). Since they're gone, I will find a manufacturer who doesn't ship defecti've products at least in my case 00% of the time.
Go ahead, flame away, I'm not visiting this board anymore, so have fun. I'm not buying an iPod, but Apple doesn't ship crap at the rate this company does.Message Edited by Allen5 on 2-25-2005 2:34 AM

Zen Sleek and WMP11!

Hi,
I have a zen sleek and have not put any music on it for ages. I updated to WMP ages ago and it works fine with my ZVM. I have tried searching the forums but not getting very far!! It says the driver is outdated and won't let me get any further. I have tried the downloads and installing a new driver but that doesn't seem to help either. I don't want to roll back to wmp 0 cos is working fine with zvm and it took ages last time I did this!! Is there another solution Thanks

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do it seems to have a mind of its own

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

IPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

iPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

Try some of these to save battery time:
Settings>Notifications>[Turn off any notifications you don't need]
Settings>General>Software Update (Make sure you're up to date)
Settings>Brightness & Wallpaper> Auto-Brightness on (And that your brightness is not to the max)
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Turn off/Stop apps from using it
Settings>Bluetooth>Off
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Manually
Settings>Wi-Fi> Off (When you don't need internet when you're out and about)
To stop overheating, note these:
Operating Temperatures: 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)
Non-Operating Temperatures: -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F)
Hope this helps!

Creative Zen Sleek and the Now Playing-part of the firmw

Hi,
this week I got my Creative Zen Sleek. I'm very satisfied, except for one thing - the Now Playing-part of the firmware (the list with all the songs queued up). In the old Nomad Jukebox Zen firmware, the list was divided by artist or album name. On the Zen Sleek, however, the list is just going on without even showing which songs belonging to which album etc.
This is really annoying me - would it be possible to fix this, or at least consider the possibility for this to be integrated in the next firmware upgrade?
Sincerely
Hein Haraldson Berg

& Putting the X-Fi into Recovery Mode and selecting clean up seemed to fix the problem, but it does still come up randomly.
The clean up puts the player menus back to their defaults though... any chance that in a future fix for the player, this wouldn't occur?

Windows operating system error with a Zen Sleek and windows 2

I have tried to install the creative disk that came with the Zen Sleek. After launch I get this message "windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product and can get no further. I am running windows 2000 pro. I have downloaded the creative media source program from the creative.com site and it will install beautifully but when you launch it, I get the error " CTCMS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart program." I figure that these two problems are probably related. We have been able to transfer songs by using the play for sure, but I am disappointed otherwise.
thanks, Kathy

On the packaging it should say the player is Win XP only. I'm not sure if the Sleek ships with the Easy CD that allows MTP/PlayForSure based players to work with earlier Windows versions.

Zen Sleek and Vi

My previous laptop has died. The operating system was XP. What do I need to do to be able to connect my Zen Sleek to Vista I've tried downloading the software but I'm getting messages saying that my Zen isn't being recognised and other stuff. I noticed this on the Creative website: Solution ID # 6737 Solution graphic or text string http://93.95.7.83/servicesoft/DATA/W.../dot-clear.gif Support StyleSheet (Required) KB Functions (Contains scripts - show_hide(); check_submit() Installing a ZEN Micro, ZEN Sleek, ZEN Touch or ZEN Xtra in Windows Vista START:KB SUMMARY SECTION Summary: If you plan to use a ZEN Micro, ZEN Sleek, ZEN Touch or ZEN Xtra player in Windows Vista, it is necessary to upgrade the player's firmware in a Windows XP computer before it can be installed in a Windows Vista computer.Does this mean that I will not be able to transfer music to the Zen as I no longer have access to an XP operating system.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Dave, I tried to send email to [url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected][/url]?but it's bouncing back. Can you pl post your correct ID? I'd like to get the procedure for Zen Sleek Photo Installation on Vista. Thanks?

Zen Sleek and Zen Produc

Just a quick question. Planning on hopefully getting a zen sleek tomorrow. living in the uk and just wanted to double check all the zen products wherever they are brought come with a one year warranty on them correct? Any other happy zen sleek customers?Thanks
Jonny

Thats sounds like gd news. I'll wait one day and get the player on friday instead and try and find out about it quickly thanks for support mate. If the information is added in this thread that wud be great to hear! Is there any sleek owners out there and have there views on the player? Was agreeing prob with a comment made in another thread. This forum is prob for a small selection of problems that people are having with their zen players and dat the majority of customers are definately satisfied with their players. U agree?Jonny

Zen Sleek and Xbox 36

Have anybody tried the Zen Sleek with Xbox 360... and does it work ?

It is a change, the two firmwares will behave differently so you will notice the difference. There are a few software updates available along with the firmware though (the Software Suite), so you can still use MediaSource for instance.
If you update to a PlaysForSure/MTP firmware, you should bear in mind that the player will only work on systems with WindowsXP (SP2 and higher) and Windows Media Player 0.

IPod mini serial number and battery charging

This is a weird question that I hope someone can help me with. I purchased a refurbished mini (silver) on eBay for my daughter, because I love my mini, but I couldn't by a new one. I'm having battery charging issues (it won't hold a charge even after being on the charger (USB to Mac iBook) overnight. I wanted to see if there was still warranty available on it, but when I typed the serial number on the back of the iPod into the "check warranty" box on the Apple support home page it said it wasn't a correct serial number.
The back of the iPod (from top to bottom) has the apple logo, an HP logo (I wonder if it was originally packaged with an HP computer?), a weird holographic sticker of some kind, the size (4 MB), then the serial number. The serial number does look significantly different than the one on my blue mini.
Could it be that apple handed the warranty support on this iPod to HP?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPod mini (blue)

Kyle,
Thanks for your help. I will check the Hp website for warranty information for her iPod.
I keep my iBook set to never go to sleep when it's on the power adapter (I regularly charge my iPod overnight on it, and always use the power adapter when charging).
I reset her iPod and it seems to have solved the charging problem. It may have been an indicator problem — I saw some posts about that. I am having my daughter listen to her iPod all day today and see how long the battery lasts.
Your post was very helpful!

Zen Sleek and Windows 2

I got the Zen Sleek on Amazon.com for myself for Christmas (firmware 2.00.06). I thought it would work with Windows 2000, as the requirements on the Creative website (and the box) said. So after figuring out that the Zen only ships in the US with the XP software, my friend got me a Zen installation disk from Creative customer service in the UK. So I tried to install this on my machine, but the installation will freeze at 99% when it says it's installing the windows drivers. If I put the disk back in again and run the installation, it says that everything has installed. When I plug in the player, Windows detects a new device, and does the Find Drivers wizard. So I point it to the Creative folder installed on my computer, the folder that is "jukebox 3 drivers." This doesn't work (It says no driver is found). I've tried uninstalling and then only re-installing the three drivers that are on the Creative disk (not letting the cd auto-play, going to the "drivers" folder, then "english", then running the three drivers...drv_jb.exe, drv_jb3.exe, drv_nm2.exe). The only problem that I can think of is that I plugged it into my roommate's computer that is running XP and now it has been somehow set to run on XP only. If I format the player will this erase the setting and allow me to install on my Windows 2000? Or am I out of luck since I my firmware is 2.00.06? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

You're mostly out of luck. Most versions of the Sleek that shipped were for XP only, although some early models shipped with a v.xx PDE firmware that would work with other versions of Windows.
There is also an "Easy CD" which ships with some players to allow them to work on earlier versions of Windows, although you can only use Windows Media Player 9 to transfer.
I suggest getting in touch with Creative Support to see if you can either get the PDE firmware, or this Easy CD.

Need Assistance with battery and battery charger U450p

I have an ideapad U450p. until today, this computer was served me exceptionally well.
for the past 2 years now I have had battery issues but because I was always able to plug it in, I did not worry about it. Yesterday, my charger has intermittently stopped charging and now I have to wiggle the cables around just to get it to connect. Since my battery doesn't hold a charge this is a problem since I get blasted with the alarm and computer shuts off.
I tried to find how to purchase a new adapter and battery but the lenovo website doesn't seem to have any information about the U450p. it spits out that my product is discontinued and sends me on a wild goose chase to some crazy off market sites.
i need this computer to be in tip top shape because i am working on my doctoral thesis and about to defense in 6 weeks. i can't have this problem and I can pay anything for proper battery and charger.
where do i find them?

hi torontostudent,
Your charging issue might be similar to this thread and it's not caused by a faulty charger but a loose DC-IN jack (it could have wear out over time if you unplug / insert the charger everyday). Upon checking this part, it's removable and replaceable. You can have it looked at a local computer repair shop see if they can reattach the loose part by soldering it to the board.
For the battery replacement, you can obtain it from the lenovo spare parts website - www.lenovospareparts.com (If a part is out of stock, click on Help at the upper right hand portion and fill out the contact form).
Best regards,
neokenchi

Zen Micro and Usb Charging - I don't want

Hi all,
i have the Zen micro 5gb with .02.05 firmware.
My question is :
Is there a way to disable the Usb Charging ?
My question is strange i know... but i really don't want the Usb charging ...
I've tryed to connect open and closed but it charge anyway ...
please help
Edit: Ops i've putted "Keep this message at the top of the board list" and i don't know if is good .. sorry Message Edited by globalspace on 04-3-2005 0:59 PM

The Dell DJ's dont have this, and were dying to get this option..... Now there are complaints on not to have it's? :S
And like SSR said, it does not affect the battery as the type that is used is one that can be recharged hundreds of times (and by the time the battery is ready to die out your player will die out of your mind as you will most likely have a new one by then).
