ZEN TOUCH - NEWBIW JUST BOUGHT ONE - A FEW QUESTI

As a novice, I have just bought a Zen Touch, I am transfering my CD collection via Media Player 9 which is taking forever, when I access the Creative Media Source Organiser, I noticed that some of my tracks have blue padlocks next to them, why is this? what is it for? and why do some have and some not.
Is there a quicker way of transferring my CD's?
And does anyone have the problem of not being able to upload any songs to the Zen? There is over 7GB left and I can't get it to upload anything, although I know that the cable and the USB port is working well.

Those are protected files with the padlock.
You will get the same thing if you download tracks from Napster, iTunes or whoever else.
You are not legally allowed to transfer those files (except in Europe and then only for a back-up) anywhere.

  • I have an old IPOD Touch and just bought a new Nano.  If I download the latest version of Itunes for my Nano, will I lose all of my songs stored in my old version of Itunes and can I still use my Touch with the new version?

  • A 1084: compatible with newer Apple devices?  I just bought one used and

    I just bought one of the AirPost Express devices (used) to extend my existing network, but the AirPort utility won't find it.  It is working, but I can't get it to integrate.  I am presently using an iMac running Yosemite.

    Unfortunately, you bought the wrong product.
    AirPort Utility in newer operating systems has not supported the older AirPorts for a few years....and even if it did.....the older A1084 AirPort does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network".
    Best to check and see if you can return the A1084 for a refund.  You need either an A1264 or A1392 version of the Express. Please note that these versions will only extend the signal from an existing Apple router. They will not work with a 3rd party product.

  • I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

  • Just bought Ipad 2,few weeks ago...NOW the Ipad 3 is here...can I upgrade ?

    Will Apple take a trade in on a new Ipad 2..to upgrade to Ipad 3?

    Apple does not have a trade in program.  There is a 14 day return period, but they charge a restocking fee on opened products.
    Best thing to do is sell it and buy the new one.

  • Zen Micro with USB 1.1 - a few questi

    I am buying a Zen Micro but my PC doesn't have USB 2.0, however i have read that the Zen Micro is backwards compatible to USB ..
    Will i be able to use the USB 2.0 cable provided?
    Or will i have to buy a special USB . cable?
    I have standard USB . cables at home, can i use one of those?
    replies will be much appreciated

    Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 450 laptop which has a USB ., I plugged my Zen into the USB and a message comes up saying: "The unknown USB Device is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port. There are no HI-SPEED host controllers installed on this computer. Recommendation- The unknown USB Device will function at reduced speed. You must add a HI-SPEED USB host controller to this computer to obtain maximum performance." Do you know what is wrong? Do you think it is the cable that is faulty? Thanks so much!

  • I currently have an ipod touch 4th generation for my daughter.  I just bought the same ipod for myself. Before I set it all up, i want to know if i can use the same email/apple id for both of them???

    My daughter has an ipod touch 4th gen.  I just bought one for myself but dont' know if I can use the same email/apple id ???  i'd like to but dont want issues w/ facetime, etc.  Please help!!

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure the birthdate yo specify results n an age of at least 13 years old.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • DO NOT BUY CREATIVE ZEN TOUCH 2

    I cannot begin to explain the problems I have had with the Zen Touch that I bought 2 Weeks ago. The long and short of it is the original device that I bought, I could not transfer songs to it. Dowmloading the latest Firmware / Drivers / Application etc made no difference whatsoever. Problems ranging from errors like 'Device is busy or not attached', to copying songs across and them showing on Creative Media Organiser but not showing on the device itself. Also problems with the device freezing and having to wait for the battery to run out before it would work again. After lengthy phone calls to someone on support who could neither speak or understand english, I arranged for another one to be sent to me, in return for the faulty one. And guess what, the new one has exactly the same faults as the original. I have uninstalled the software on numerous occasions thinking that it may be a faulty install. Set it all up on my machine at work, and my friends machine at work, only for the same problems to occur when transferring songs. To top it all, I sent 3 messages to the support link on the creative web site, only to have a response to, yep you guessed it, NONE of them in FOUR DAYS. My advice to anyone who is thinking of buying a Zen Touch, or any other Creative Labs product come to think of it is, is to go out in the back garden and set fire to the money instead. Just incase anyone thinks I am doing something wrong, I work for a software company, and I know that if we sent a product / gave a support service that was as poor as that I have received, I would be out of a job in 5 minutes. I am Going to get my money back and go for an iPod, telling everyone I know to steer well clear of creative. Thanks for listening.

    "If the mailer I received from Cambridge Soundworks yesterday (a Creative complany) is any indication, buying a 20GB Zen Touch or even Sleek would be a bad move. It looks like the Sleek is already being relegated to the status of "**bleep** stepchild" in the Zen line-up, which is where Touch has been for a while. The latest ad from Cambridge Soundworks was pushing the Micros, Nanos, Muvos and even Neeons. But no Sleeks."
    You comments don't make much sense. The Sleek is a new model and is probably backordered by many dealers. That is probably why Creative is not promoting it heavily on its own. Demand from Creative's retailers is probably more than enough to consume the production for a while.
    "But that's not what's interesting. It's what product <B>was</B> prominently featured: The Zen 20GB. This is the player that looks like a fat Zen Micro in a black case, previously available only in Asia. "
    That does seem to make sense though, since Creative probably didn't make enough of them for a full retail store roll out in the US, so they probably decided that that selling them directly would be a good move. National retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, etc. want products to be available in huge quantities otherwise they don't want to sell them.

  • Having Trouble with Creative Zen Touch 20G

    Hey everybody. I bought me a 20G Creative Zen Touch (you know, the one where the scroll thing is in the middle of the player, vertically?). Anyway, i bought it a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty **bleep** cool. No problems with it.....until today. I was watering the lawn, listening to my music (no, it didn't get wet), when all of a sudden it stopped working all together. Well, at first i saw some "Voice Recording" thing i had never seen before and no matter what i pushed, nothing happened. I couldn't even turn it off. I tapped it on the side, then it began working again. I decided to shut it off and put it in my room. Later when i went back to it,it wouldn't turn back on at all!!! Even though it's battery was charged, i decided to plug it into the charger where, once i plugged it in, i got a screen that said:
    <EM>"CREATIVE ZEN</EM>
    <EM>Copyright (c) 2004</EM>
    <EM>Creative Technology Ltd.</EM>
    <EM>All Rights Reserved"</EM>
    And thats how it is currently: Nothing at all happens when it's disconnected from the charger and i try to turn it on. When connected to the charger, i get said screen, but thats it. No music, not even the blue backlight or the blue blinking light on the power button indicating that it's charging. :smileyindifferent:
    Can someone tell me what's going on/how to fix this? We have been getting unbelievably hot weather here in So. Cal and i have the feeling that the hot temperature may have something to do with this. I've tried keeping the player in the coolest place in the house (besides the freezer) which would be near a fan so it could be in a cooler place, but even leaving it in such place for a couple hours isn't helping me.

    Hey buddy
    same problem with me. The zen got little moist due to rain, after that it froze at the 'Creative screen' that too comes on when i connect it to charger. I disconnected the battery, it worked for a while but it is back to same position now. It dosent responds to resetting pin... nothing happens it is dead. Only when i disconnect battey and connect charger ... give it a big whack it works for a while then hangs again.
    Still trying my stuff on it. Otherwise i will format it and reload the firmware later on.
    if u get any solution let me know on [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
    thankx

  • Zen Touch display prob

    It's not a big deal, but having just received a replacement Zen Touch after my last one froze, there's a display problem which is annoying me...
    Whenever I open a "window" within the screen (for instance, the volume control, or the window that opens when you click on a band name - "Play / View Albums / View tracks" etc), the vertical bars at either edge continue outside the "window" and on to the top and bottom of the screen.
    Should I be worried, or do I just have to learn to love it's

    Problem has been solved with a simple reset
    I switched off the Zen
    Then pressed the play/pause button and inserted a paperclip into the reset hole
    Then removed the clip and released the play/pause button
    Interestingly enough I didn't get prompted to format the phone or anything else, but it has cleared the problem.
    Weird I think - but seems to have worked.
    I had downloaded the latest OS/Firmware incase I needed to format and wipe the whole thing, but it wasn't needed.
    Thanks for the responses though.
    Cheers.

  • Zen touch 40gig docking probl

    When I plug ig my zen touch it just going in and out of docking and will not stay docked. I have the latest firmware installed. I have reset it a few times and that will not work. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Anyone know why it will not stay docked?

    i plug in, the computer recognizes it, gives me the autoplay popup. i open mediasource and my computer tells me there is no player connected, same thing with wmp0.
    help out?

  • Zen touch speakers / dock

    I was just wondering what different speakers or docks there are that are compatible with the Zen Touch? The best one available appears to be the Cambridge Soundworks playdock, but this is only available to US customers.
    What docks or speakers are available in the UK for the Zen Touch?

    Okay, if you want one that doesn't use battery but a power cable, then you would still need to connect to a socket, so not as portable as the Travelsound is.
    The speakers listed under 2.0 are all fairly small (especially ones like the SBS Vivid 60), as they are just 2 speakers and a power adapter (no subwoofer).

  • Zen touch being a pain

    This is probably my fourth post about this. My Zen Touch will just not keep working. It wont turn at all unless i reset it 4 times a day. and i just did a disk clean up and it still is being a pain. do you think it could be my firmware? i would have updated but im on vacation and forgot my hook-up to the compuer. And i have to fly home tomorrow and if i have no music i will dieeee. Thanks
    Dube.

    All you can try is a disk cleanup, format and reloading the firmware.
    If none of these solve it then the player is faulty and you need to contact support.

  • Can't use my mac since mavericks update but I didn't backup when I had snow leopard because I had no external hdd until I recently bought one. Can I revert back to SL?

    So, here's the thing I just upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks from SL but since upgrading my mac shuts off immediately by itself so I use it in safe boot. When I was running SL I didn't backup my stuff because I had external hdd, but I just bought one and I want revert back to snow leopard. How do I go back to snow leopard while also taking all my saved stuff even though I didn't backup it back then when I using SL?

    Hei [email protected]
    PROBLEM
    =========
    After upgrading to maverick 10.9.2 my camera stopped working on my iMac and on my MacBookPro. 
    First I suspected that it was the maverick upgrade, which was the problem.
    After spending several days with searching on the internet and trying all the different suggestions.
    Which included re-format hard disk, re-install Maverick again, safe boot, removing old *.kext files, repair disk, check disk with permissions etc. etc. (waste of time)
     I phoned apple support, but supporter said that it was a non apple App which caused the problem. 
    Then I say somebody saying that the AirDisplay was the problem.
    SOLUTION
    ==========
    I finally found out that:
    By uninstalling the AirDisplay solved the problem, and now the camera works again.
    Here is the link  how to uninstall AirDisplay:
