Zen Touch i-tunes supp

I did an internet search looking for a driver that might make the touch usable in itunes, i.e. transfer tracks from one to the other, does anyone know if there is a driver or plugin that would do this. Or any other good transfer programs, all the ones in the FAQ i didnt like.

The FAQ post itself links here to the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net, if you hadn't spotted the link. Personally I'm a big fan of Notmad Explorer, but I also use Creative's MediaSource. People can hate these though, so best to try for yourself.

Creative Zen Touch stuck in Recovery M

Bear with me please since my english is not the best, but I'll try to explain my problem as good as I can.
Both me and my girlfriend have Creative Zen Touch mp3-players, and yesterday we were gonna update the firmware on both of them. We went to the Creative support page download-section and downloaded the latest one. When we were gonan install it it gave us the message that all data would be removed and that was fine with us since we already had plans about removing most of the music and replace it with new tunes. But when we were installing the firware it statrted out just fine but then when it said "Player is being rebooted, please wait..." (or something like that) it just was like that for a long time. After 20 minutes my patience ran out and I unplugged my device and tried with my girldfriends instead. Same thing happened with hers so now both our players are stuck in recovery mode with no firmware what so ever in them. I tried installing the firmware once again on both of them but now it can't the firmware just says my device isn't plugged in even though it is and my computer finds it as soon as I plug it in.
I contacted support and they told me to uninstall everything that has to do with the player and also remove Windows Media Player and all of its components. The reinstall the drivers and restart my computer. Then I should wait until my device told me to updtae the firmware to press the language selection on the firmware update. I did all of this but the firmware upadate still says my player isn't connected. This happens with my girldfriends player too, so it can't be any defect on the device.
So right now we're sitting on two mp3 players that are useless since they are stuck in recovery mode with no firmware. Please help me if you can and please keep in mind to not use too difficult english words. Thanks in advance!
Worth mentioning is that I've tried both the old and new firmware updates just to get it going and no one worked.

Can't believe no ones answered this, check this thread ttp://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?=94247 then look for Rich's post in the thread, check his link for more info.
Basically uninstall wmp, and it's run time and reboot
Be using XP
try to install creatives latest plays for sure software suite (it will fail)
Don't unplug the player just reboot
Player should be found, ignore all messages of any kind
Go to FW update and double click it
Hopefully breathe a happy sigh of relief.
Creative you really are a bunch of toerags

Connecting Creative Zen Touch to Stereo (Bose Lifestyle Syst

Hi Folks,?A bit of a naf question, I want to connect my Creative Zen Touch to a Bose Life Style System, To provide the best quality Audio connection can you advise what is the best cable for me to use. On a seperate note has anyone any comments on the Cambridge SoundWorks Dock Station, I would like something to connect the Zen Touch to for the kitchen, the cambridge sounddock id a bit of an ugly beast. Is there anything a little easier on the eye but with the same excellent audio quality. Thanks in advance for any help?Earlsie

If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.
Hope that hel

You can buy it at any RadioShack (in America) and in Canada I would assume FutureShop would have it as well as any local electronics store.

Creative zen touch problem

creative zen touch proHi, the touchpad on my zen touch has suddenly stopped working, my touchpad works but not properly..anywhere i touch it, it only goes down never up. i am unable to scroll up through my menu an through the recovery mode to make a firmware update and i can not tun of my creative zen touch please If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Which is best, Zen Touch 20gb or Zen 2

I am looking to buy one or the other but cannot decide which.
What do you recommend?

The Zen 20 GB is better - in terms of size, weight and features.
The Zen 20 GB has:
-FM tuner and recorder within the player itself. Zen touch, on the other hand, has a FM tuner on its remote control (sold separately in certain regions).
-Removable disc function (which means you can plug it into ANY computer and start transferring data files for storage etc.). Zen touch, also has that function, except that in order for it to be able to start transferring data between device and PC, the PCs which you want to transfer data must have some drivers installed first before that can take place.
Well, in some ways, the zen touch is better, like in terms of the material it is made of - you can feel it's toughness and "solidness" when you touch it. It's pure metal! Zen 20GB, on the other hand is just magnesium alloy, which is not very tough (i happened dropped my badge on it, and i found a very very small, barely visible dent at the top end of the corner. Though it's very small, but it roughly shows how tough it is). Definitely, the toughness came with a price: bulkier and heavier than the Zen 20GB.
Overall, i am still very happy with my Zen 20GB. Sound quality is fabulous. Huge capacity. Excellent and useful features. Size factor is okay. Reasonable pricing. What more can I ask for?

Is the Zen Touch Mac Compatib

My Cousin has an iMac and i'm visiting him and I was wondering if I could transfer tunes from his computer to my Zen Touch. Also, is the zen touch like the ipod where it will only support syncing with one computer. Where it makes you delete everything on the device before setting up another partnership.

> we dont take kindly to apples round here...u know if it
> dont got a usb port then it work wrk either...i know it
> sounds stupid but i've seen apple computers without usb
> ports...wat were they thinking
Duh -- probably the same thing the _PC_ makers were thinking back before USB was invented!
I agree -- your childish anti-Mac rant _does_ sound stupid.
Thanks for sharing ;-/

Problems with Zen Touch - Need He

I bought a Zen Touch about 5 months ago and so far its been great! (apart from the occasional freezing) but all in all I'm quite happy with my choice of MP3 player. Until recently. A problem arose when i deleted all my old music off of the Zen and burned in some new music - It has an error message saying "Add Music from Library" - And i press menu button and it freezes and i can't switch it off.... The oddest thing is that my pc shows that all the tunes are on it but for some reason i can't acess it. I tried everything; i reburned software, reburned the tunes back on, deleted them, waited for the Zen to run out of battery... I'm really missing my Zen at the mo and any help would be GREATLY appreciated....thanx

Zen Touch optional wired remote control to play FM radio how do I get it? or can it work without

One of the reasons why i am thinking of buying a zen touch is becuase it has a FM radio built in. From the website it says you need an optional wired remote control to listen to the radio, where can i get one in the uk? or can it work without it's

The Zen Touch doesn't have a radio built-in. You'd need this:

The Zen Micro does have an FM tuner built-in.

Looking for a Zen Touch Remote...with the following

So...first off...where in the world are all the accessories for the Zen Touches? Man..what a dissapointment...spent alot of money on this thing mainly becuase I use alot of creative products and did not want to give in to the IPod craze...not to mention I'm a service tech. at my work and we get like 0 ipods a day in for service...such garabage...anyways:
I'm looking for a wired remote for my 40 gig Zen Touch. I DO NOT NEED...FM Tune...a friggen MIC..i mean common people...a mic!!
!! I do not need the time...
all I require is a forward...backwards...fast forward..reverse...power on/off...backlight display with maybe the time duration on a track...and thats about it. is that so hard? does it exsist?...i'm leaning towards a probably not.
can't help but feel abandond on my unit given there is a lack on accessories for this unit...and it just seems like creative is pumping out those really small...no space mp3 players with a full heap of accessories to choose from.
well at least your Elite Pro is nice.

orangeblast wrote:So...first off...where in the world are all the accessories for the Zen Touches?
What accessories do you want? Most of the iPod accessories are junk, or just infinite versions of the same thing.

There is only the one remote, so that's the only choice I'm afraid. But if you don't need the features, don't use them.

Repairs to Zen Touch 40gb in UK

Hi,
i have had a zen touch 40gb unit for nearly 2 years. Very pleased overall but like many things the newer models get smaller and lighter.
However, like many others on this forum, i have dropped the unit and now the touch pad / front buttons wont work. I had 5000+ songs on, which i deleted so i could update the firmware etc.
I contacted Customer Services and was told that they don't do this model no more and cannot accept it for repair. They offered me to purchase an Vision M or Vision at a discounted rate to compensate me for my troubles.
This raised a few thoughts - Do Creative have major problems with this and other models and find a way round it by offering other models? I find it hard to beli've that so many people have had same problems and not got the issues resolved. It seems once it packs up, thats it - finito!!
I have ordered a new Vision M (as i was planning to purchase it anyway, with the proceeds of my Zen Touch contributing to it).
Does anyone know where i could send my Zen Touch to be repaired in the UK. It seems criminal to have a 40gb unit going to waste, particularly as it still plays tunes. I just need someone to repair the touch pad and buttons. It could be something very simple, but I am no TECHY!!
I would appreciate any help.
regards
Manthevab

John
Thanks for your quick response.
Without going into the whole story - I knew it was out of warranty therefore i wasnt expecting a replacement, however I expected the offer of at least a REPAIR.
I am not an expert with these players, but i assume something has slipped inside the unit and this has made the right hand side buttons and touch pad redundant.
I accept what you are saying about replacing with a newer model at a discounted rate, however i paid over ?230 two years ago and did not expect to be paying again 2 years later, except in a case where i sold my old one to part fund a new one.
I now have a 40gb hard dri've player, which is unusable. I just want to know if there is a company that might be able to fix the problem for me.
John, if you can help, i would appreciate it.

Zen Touch FM Tu

I was wondering if i would be able to have an FM tuner installed on my Zen Touch since it was optional. Thank you for ur time and consideration

I doubt if you'll get a new one from Creative now; eBay is your best bet.PB
Ya, I believe that Creative stopped makeing the FM tuners. And because of that, the prices on ebay are really high.

Zen touch accessori

I've been wanting to by an mp3 player and was thinking of the zen touch but i can't get anyone to answer my question. i've wrote into product info support but they haven't responded back yet. There isn't much said about the accessories for the zen touch and i don't know much about mp3 players so i don't know what all is compatible with it. On the accessory page for the zen touch it only lists a couple of things witch is mostly head phones but this isn't the only accesories for it is it's What accesories are compatible with it's I would like to find an fm transmitter so i can play my songs on the radio to and a case with a belt clip so i don't have to carry it around.

Zen Touch - not seen, can't load hardware, e

Hi,
I just got the 40GB Zen Touch this afternoon. I loaded the software from the CD, rebooted, then went to Nomad Explorer, all ready to start moving music. Not only did Explorer not see it, when I tried to install updated files from the Creative site, they couldn't see it, either....and the hardware wizard can't find a driver on the CD, PC or Internet.
Is there a site that has step-by-step instructions for Portable MP3 player dummies? I'm new at putting tunes on these, so I'm not sure what program to use in order to accomplish that.
I also have MusicMatch, but it won't even show an opportunity to save to the "portable device".
I did unplug the other USB devices, but that didn't help.
Please... I just want to put some tunes on it and go on about my merry way.... I need some help from someone who knows about this.
Thanks in advance,
ocayd

Allrighty. Thus far, I've:
. Reset the player and run a disk cleanup.3. Try the player on ALL your USB ports and make sure you aren't using a hub.- don't have a hub- it WAS making the "new USB device added/removed" sound in a .0 port, then I tried it in a 2.0 port, and it made the same sound(s). Then, I put it back in the .0 port - and no noise. I put it back in the 2.0 port, and it mad the noise. (However, normally, it makes a 2-note sound when I add/remove. Now, it makes 2 notes ONLY when I remove, and one note when I add.)- In DEVICE MGR, it's got the yellow ? by it
5. In Device Manager with the Zen connected delete it from the device listing. Physically disconnect the Zen from the USB cable, reset it, then reconnect to the PC to see if it is detected properly.
7. Try a replacement USB cable (ideal if you can borrow one from somewhere, or if you have another USB device that uses the same cable).
9. Make sure the player isn't locked.

I'm thinking that if the player isn't seen, I can't install updated anything on it, correct?
Still trying....

Two Zen Touch Questi

Is there a firmware upgrade available for the Touch that allows for access to its hard dri've via My Computer through a removable dri've? If not, will there be?
How much does the remote with the FM tuner cost for this model?

I don't understand all the comments regarding dri've letter access. Is this driverless access so you could move files around from computer to computer? If not, then I really don't see the disadvantage of using Nomad Explorer. My Zen Touch shows up in Windows Explorer as "Nomad Explorer". If I wanted to copy files to it, I can (I don't). In my experience, using Windows Explorer for music files leads to a really screwed up stucture on the player with corrupted track numbers, etc..
I also did not see any CNet article promising dri've letter access, but since it is not important to me at all, perhaps I overlooked it. I DID see, however, an alleged Creative promise in "October" (assume that is now October 2005?) for MTP support and Janus DRM support.
This support is what I was expecting in the recent firmware upgrade, which must have been pretty technical as I don't really notice any change in my player.
Somebody said the font is smaller on the screen---I don't remember how big it was before, to be honest.
