Zen touch DAP-HD0014 drivers

I am having a issue with my Zen. I had windows xp home on my last laptop and I could plug in the Zen and the computer would see it as a harddri've. I could then drag MP3s over. No problem.
Now, I have a laptop that has windows xp pro, and it does not see the Zen,
Went to the website got the drivers, and the software. nothing. Still a no go, and to boot. That ZENcast deal locks up my computer and will not load?
Is there a simple driver to get this to work, or I am stuck with the same songs for life?

Install the following in order:
Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38
Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer

Zen Touch DAP HD0014

Hi I have a Zen Touch DAP HD004. I have had it for some years. My problem is I have recently had to re install windows ZP on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. The software for the player is packed away in my house in Spain and i returned to the UK? a year ago. My Laptop recognises the player and will list the tracks but I cannot do anything with them. For starters is there anyway I can copy them over?

Problem with Creative Zen Touch DAP-HD0014

Hey,
I have the Creative Zen Touch DAP HD004 as listed in the subject. Version .0.03
In the "Information" part of the player, it lists it as having GB of music available, but in the menu only the 59 default classical music songs appear. (These are not knowingly mine!)
I was wondering whether there was any way to turn the player into Hard Dri've mode to retrieve these songs, or to use some sort of program to view them and put them back onto the player? Everytime I use My Computer to browse the MP3 Player, all that appears are the same 59 songs.
I hope this information can help someone to solve my problem!!

Unfortunately not since the Zen has broken whilst I am travelling. Is the Nomad Explorer possible to download as Freeware? If so I will give that a shot. Thanks for the reply.
EDIT: I downloaded a trial version of "Notmad Explorer" and I can now see 2590 Data Files. Once I download a full version, is it simple to just conver Data Files into Audio Files?
Thanks so much for even getting me to this stage! I've spent weeks downloading all sorts.

Creative Zen Touch DAP-HD0014

Hi, I have a problem with this, when it boots up it says firmware problem and boots to recovery mode. I've downloaded the firmware and am unable to update it as there is a message saying not connected. I have tried USB ports on front & rear on my PC and with different cables. Any ideas would be gratefully received!

The zen touch has to to be installed as a?WPD instead of a MTP. The process of rolling back the windows media takes out the auto to make it's a MTP.
So I suggest to the creative dudes is make a driver that loads the players as a WPD and the upgrade will work on all the players.
Everybody that lets it load as a MTP will never get the Upgrade button to work.
Very simple problem. Yes. But how do you get it to install as creative zen touch WPD. You will have to do alot of things to your computer and then luckily it will load as a WPD.
I am asking the creative team to modify the Upgrade installer to recognize the new MTP for the Upgrade installer the simplest solution. Alittile GIU programming guys.
I await the the new Upgrade installer.
PS The whole purpose for the upgrade is to be in MTP mode. Once it reboots the first time the upgrade installer should recognize the player as a MTP no matter what! Then we could hit the upgrade buton to install the firmware 2..0.

Zen Touch - Moving files to PC without drivers and software install

I think I've heard about some firmware coming to make it possible to
move files to any computer with Windows mediaplayer installed,
without having to install the Zen Touch software or drivers....
Is this true? Is it out?
It would be awsome if I could move files and music between
computers with my Zen Touch. I must say I was a bit dissapointed
after reading that I could only do it through the software...

Kinda. It won't appear as a dri've letter, but it will appear as a device in Windows Explorer. I'm not 00% certain if this will allow you to copy data to it (perhaps someone out there with a Zen Micro can confirm?). It'll also only work with a PC that has Win XP and Windows Media Player 0 installed. But aside from those issues, it's a form of driverless support.

Help using my zen touch to use as a mass storage device

Hello all I have a zen touch DAP-HD004
Does anyoe know of a way to use this as a mass storage device not just for audio media files,
any help would be greatly apreciated
thanks
paul roy

Okay, usb_modeswitch works fine. There is one odd quirk though... Arch is set up so that it loads XBMC by default (I'm using this as a media PC). On my old wifi adapter, which does not need modeswitch, the weather and news on XBMC update immediatly when it is started. With this wifi adapter they do not update at all. I can tolerate this though, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

What driver to use with Plays for Sure Zen touch

Hi, I've upgraded my zen touch to 2.0.05 in the past.
Now I'm using a new computer and I need to install drivers for the Zen Touch.
The drivers on the CD do not recognise my Zen Touch, the latest drivers only support zen touch with firmware below 2.00.00, and to my knowledge, Microsoft has discontinued the use of Plays for Sure devices.
Further more the bundle update for Plays for Sure device only works if it can detect the Zen Touch in the first place, which it cannot.
So does anyone have a working driver for Zen Touch firmware 2.00.00 and above, thanks.

actually I do have the mtp drivers installed, but the interface is not as good as the Nomad Explorer. But when I try to install the real drivers for Explorer, it tells me that the Zen is undetectable, even though it clearly is plugged in and seen by the computer.

Zen touch unrecognized on comp after year of u

i plug it in and get the "this device can perform faster in a usb2 outlet" (unfortunately i only have usb but this has never been a problem before). I put new music on it in the last month but today when i plugged it in it's not being recognized by the organizer or explorer as being connected. the little bubble box asking if i want to organize now isnt coming up and i cant access it. i went into recovery mode and cleaned it up but still nothing. any ideas?

Have you changed anything on your computer? i.e. changed/updated drivers?
You may want to try reinstalling the zen touch software and drivers. There may also be a problem with the USB drivers on your computer.
Right click on the "My Computer" icon > "Properties" > "Hardware" tab > "Device Manager" > scroll down to "Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers" and you should see different components when you expand it. Windows will tell you if there is a problem, but if want to be sure you can uninstall them (right click > uninstall), restart windows and the drivers will be installed again.

Installation CD for Creative Zen Touch 40GB, or proper drivers and applications ther

I just bought a Creative Zen Touch 40GB, but it didn't come with the CD. Anyone know where I can get a CD, or find all of the correct drivers and applications for it's Thanks

You can download drivers and applications for the player on this site, just click on Support -> Downloads.
You need to download a driver (install this first), the full MediaSource Player/Organizer application and then the MediaSource plug-in.

Zen Touch Drivers, Use CD not Web? But w

I had my 40GB Zen touch installed and running nicely on my system running XP service pack 2 using the drivers from the web. I also own a Nomad Jukebox 3 and firgured that since the driver file is the same for both devices (at least on the website it seems that way) that I could just connect the JB3 and it would work. Well it was recognized but, I received errors transfering files using Explorer, and it was not working properly. So I uninstalled the Creative Jukebox Drivers, and re-installed them. I then connected the JB3 and it worked flawlessly. BUT NOW the Zen Touch is not installing properly. I was only able to install both previosly when I used the touch driver cd on another machine, as well as the driver available for download for the JB3.
Why would Creative not have the same driver for download for the Zen Touch on the website as they include on the cd? Is anyone else having similiar issues? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Hey SSR. Basically using this driver, I can only install one device and have it work properly. I first had installed this driver and used it with the touch alone, and no problems. But when I connected the NBJ, it was running extremely slow (I am aware it is ussb .), I mean much slower than normal, and I wasn't able to transfer files with explorer. I received an error message to the liking of, "this file is unacessable". So like I said, I uninstalled the driver. Re-installed, connecting the NBJ first. and it worked no problem. But connecting the touch again it wasn't recognized. So I am left to belei've that with this driver, I am unable to have both devices work and installed properly on the same system. Others must be have had a similiar issue with this driver. Not too long ago I tried installing with the same driver on another systems and was not succesfull. I tried everything, using a different port, differnt cable, uninstalling, re-installing. The only thing that seemed to work was the cd driver. I am sticking with that, but I feel this needs to be addressed.

A Petition to ask Creative to update the firmware of the Zen Touch to Include EAX capabiliti

Hi. I have been looking for a new hard dri've MP3 player and am thinking about getting the Zen Touch. But I was unhappy that creative removed the EAX functions that were in their other players. I will be sending this to creative to show them that people do like EAX in the player. If you would like to help me with this you can post and leave your name. Thanks! This was taken off of the creative Zen Extra?s website describing EAX: Customize Your Audio Playback with Innovati've EAX? Technologies Advanced EQ lets you customize your music playback with Equalizer presets or set your own using the 4-band custom equalizer Smart Volume Management? adjusts the playback volume of all the tracks on your playlist so they will remain at the same level without you reaching for the volume control between songs! Time Scaling speeds up or slows down an audio track with no distortion Sleep Timer and Wake to Music Feature Environmental Effects simulate audio environments such as "Concert Hall" or "Arena" Spatialization Effects expand your soundstage
See here: http://eax.creative.com/nomad/ To go to the EAX website to learn some more.
If you look HERE on the little flash demo you can see in the LCD screen of the touch that this picture of the touch HAS EAX. If the touch had EAX and creative removed it just before selling it then it must be easy to put back in.
Update:

Hi everyone.
So I just went through all through posts to see how many names we have, and it turns out that there was much more discution than I thought there was.

Zen Touch and more: disappointed with Creative's Broken Promi

Around December I began looking for a digital audio player for myself, and finally concluded that the zen touch would be the perfect player for me. I shied away from the ipod seeing as that EVERONE had one or wanted one simply because it was the thing to get, and I didn?t want to jump onto the bandwagon, and the non-removable battery issue gave me confidence that I was justified in thinking that it was not as great as everyone made it out to be. I read that the Touch had screw to open it up and fpund an online site that sold its batteries, plus coupled with longer battery life and wma capatibility, as well as $80 less!! I figured that the Touch was a surly superior over the ipod. When I received the player, and still now, I am satisfied with the touch. I DID have to return it once because my power button was sticking and I could not turn it on and off, but the process of replacing it was smooth and the new one works fine.
In fact, I was so pleased with Creative?s products and service that I bought my girlfriend a Muvo TX FM for valentine?s day, seeing it also as superior to any other flash dri've player I could find, and later bought one for myself for when I work out and also to save and transfer files. I loved the players and how media source could simply organize all my players, and it was a real swell music player as well, while I looked down on Apple as a no good sell-by-trend company with inaccessible batteries and flash players without even a screen, and all other competitors either were or less quality or more money. Now, however, my confidence in Creative has significantly diminished. This started with the promise of new firmware to give MTF support, fit equalizer settings, fix the broken customizable starting screens, napster on the go support?ect?ect?ect?which has been promised almost as long as I have had my player but not deli'vered. Don?t get me wrong, I love the touch without this firmware, but the fact that they promised it, even gave a time frame, and then pushed it aside for micro firmware, design and advertisement of new players, and set more unmet dates really irritates me.
The next thing to happen, Well actually not happen, was the release of the micro photo. Creative promised it sometime around June and it is now almost august and there is still not even a word as to a possible release date, although there is plenty of advertisement of the new neon players, the zen, and the renamed muvo zen nano?s. I had promised my girlfriend a micro photo for her birthday in june, and we were both disappointed to find that is was not available. The thrid thing that happened was the cracking of the casing and display screen on my girlfriend?s muvo. Now she does now throw thing thing around, in fact it spends most of the day in her pocket book, so this came as a surprise to both of us. We were upset to find out that creative would not replace the player.
Finally, Apple has released their new 20gb photo ipod with podcasts for the same price as their older 4th generation version, and this actually caught my attention. I have been full against apple since my digital audio player browsing in December, but this one had me warming up to them. The podcasts were a wonderful new feature as well as the color screens. I was so impressed that I visited the apple website to get more information. To my surprise I also discovered that the previous $00 battery replacement plan had actually GONE DOWN!! to $59. Now I don?t recall creative even having such a plan, and have heard somewhere that they would charge one $00 for a new battery. Seeing all this I began a mad search on cnet through the digital audio players from all companies to find one that offered all that this new ipod, and I was dismayed to find none at all, and I was instantly converted. I bought my girlfriend the ipod for her birthday instead of the photo for $270, $50 more than my touch but with more and better features and I happened to remember a price of $350 mentioned for the micro photo. From what I can see Apple is a company that ACTUALLY CARES AND LISTENDS to the wants of its customers. Not to be bashing Creative here, but I will simply state that from what I have seen and experienced, Creative has been deaf its customer's simplest requests.

Let's be realistic, the vast majority of people who have DAPs are NOT using them to preview pictures. Color screen savers? Why? It's just an extra drain on the battery and besides, just how often does someone look at the screen when they aren't making selections/adjustments?
Absolutely. A colour screen is a novelty and nothing more. I'm sure that a very small percentage are using the iPod Photo to its full abilities.
As for Creative making a Zen Micro Photo (or Zen 20GB Photo), I would also have to ask why do it if the player cannot operate as a plug and play storage device (no drivers needed). It's gimmicky, and while that may sell, it will force Creative into a dangerous game of trying to gain marketshare while dealing with profit margins that will be dictated by Apple's response to such products if Creative does release them.
Agreed also. Without correct integration this player will go nowhere.
The last I heard the one gimmick pushed by the iPod Photo crowd, Album Art, wasn't going to be supported either.
While I'm definitely not happy that Creative appears to have "effecti'vely" abandoned the ZTouch and Nomad Zen Xtra, I would prefer that they focus on getting one family of players in the 20GB and up range into every market they play in. Right now, my own personal choice would be to get the Zen Sleek out into every market, as this would help them streamline their product stable and make a stronger effort to take marketshare away from Apple. This is a war and someone has to be the point man. We may not like taking the first rounds, but if it helps beat the enemy, perhaps it really is for the greater good.
They certainly need to push the advantage, which means pushing alliances with music stores, and making that firmware light years ahead of the iPod.
Also there needs to be some world strategy here. We're seeing the Sleek on the European Store, but where is it elsewhere, and why no comment about it's Same goes for the Zen Micro TravelDock. Creative regions need to work together better, along with better stock control

Zen Touch Problem (firmware crash?) HEEEELP! (plea

i just got my zen touch yesterday when i got home from college. so i charge it up after opening anxiously. anyway, i install it and everything and then decided to install the latest firmware. well for some reason the firmware decided to freeze so i closed it since the screen on the touch was blank ( i think the firmware prog. said it was restarting but it hadnt for at least 0 mins) i tried to reset it and everything but nothing, now i cant turn it on or off, the power light comes on but the screen is blank and it wont go into recovery mode either. this morning the light finally went out but i think its just a case of the battery dying because i tried to turn it on and it didnt come on, and when i plugged it in the power light came on and thats it, any solutions?

i had the exact same problem,
i fixed mine, by using a pc that i had NEVER used my device on, it was fully patched (windows update) and had SP2/WMP0.
i then installed those 3 things, in the order they were presented, and finally plugged in my device, it was recognisesd by the upgrade program, it then warned me i was replacing a v2 firmware with teh same version, i said okay, and procedded to upgrade.
it seems, that for some reason, pcs where you used the device prior to the upgrade, dont seem to recognise the device, once its become MTP (or partially MTP when ur upgrade fails).
i found this was the only way to get it working, a fresh pc without the drivers or anything, just XP SP2, windows medial player 0 and then install those 3 things.
heres my thread if it helps

Zen Touch Fubar after XBox 3

Hi, sorry if this has been covered before but I have searched the site and can't find any help so I wonder if anyone can help me out!
I recently got an Xbox 360 and after unsuccessfully getting it to see my Zen Touch 20GB I realised I had to upgrade my Firmare to allow for the Plays for Sure compatability. At this time I also downloaded Windows Media Connect so that I could connect my PC to my Xbox 360 as well. After upgrading my Firmware/drivers/Nomad Plug In/Mediasource etc. my PC could no longer see my Zen unless it was through windows Media Player 0. I tried changing the USB settings in the registry as suggested, but they were already set correctly. When I tried transferring using Media Player the Zens disc read as having been used up, but it did not show any songs etc. in the menu. Eventually I cleared it again and dragged my backed up from Zen files into the Windows media device icon under 'My Computer'. Please note, I could not access the Zen any other way - it reads as no USB device attached. After I had my music files put back on this way they were a jumbled mess with album tracks missing and many files unrecognised or unlisted. I tried reinstalling the drivers and the software again, but it made no difference. I took my Zen into work where I had my old software and driver on a PC but it still could not see it.
Finally this morning I tried to reinstall the firmware. When I opened the installer it could not find my player, so eventually I decided to recover my Zen and and select reload firmware on it. Now all I have is a zen that just says there is a firmware problem when I turn it on and which my PC still cannot see to install firmware on it. I uninstalled all my new software and drivers from my PC and reinstalled my originally supplied disk, but still nothing! Can anyone help me or is my Zen a right off? If it is I would strongly suggest to everyone to not bother upgrading their Firmware. Does anyone know is it salvageable?

Read that. I had the same problem but its fixed now.
Reload OS = Delete OS and corrupt my player.
Creative software developers are dumb.. whatcha gonna do.
