Zen Touch not detected by Windows Explorer though recognised by Windows Media Pla

I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem to this:
I am running Windows ME and my son has just received the player for his birthday.</LI>
Unfortunately the CD that came with the player caused this computer (and another) to lock-up so faulty CD assumed.</LI>
Loaded drivers from internet.</LI>
Camera and memory sticks all recognised by Windows Explorer but NOT the Zen Touch.</LI>
Now the surprise the Zen Touch IS recognised by Windows Media Player and my son can transfer files using that - but it is a VERY slow way of loading files and we would much prefer to use Windows Explorer.</LI>
Anyone any suggestions as to how to make Windows Explorer detect the Zen Touch?

The Touch is only recognised through Windows Explorer by virtue of installing Nomad Explorer.
Certainly make sure you have the latest version of this from the downloads page, you mentioned you have the latest drivers already.

  • Zen MicroPhoto only detected by Windows Media Pla

    I searched the forums for any posts about this but couldn't find anything, so sorry if It's a repost.
    Like the topic suggests, my MP3 player is only seen by WMP. Media Source or Notmad don't see it, and I only get the "Docked" Message on the Zen if I have WMP running.
    This only happened after I reformatted my HDD.
    I can see my MP3s on WMP, I believe I can transfer new ones, but I can't get them off my Zen.
    Any ideas on whats going on?

    edit 2: I thought I should add that as soon as I open media source or notmad, the "docked" message on the Zen goes away.Message Edited by Styles on 04-6-200709: AM

    My Micro did that last night. I used WMP beta 2 to transfer some files, just to see how it worked, and now the Creative Media Explorer won't see it. Funny thing is that right about the CME, is the listing with my players name. I can get into my player through that ...reinstalling the CME right now...will let you know the outcome...
    That fixed it right up.
    I hope that someone from Creative is watching all this mess with firmware/software problems and WMP and sorts it all out when WMP goes gold.Message Edited by zenwerewolf on 09--2006 04:24 PM

  • IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

    First of all, hello to everyone...
    i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
    the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
    my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
    but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
    ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
    i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
    1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
    2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
    3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
    4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
    the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
    i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
    thx in advance!!

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

  • Zen touch, crashing with Windows XP professional, not working with Windows media pla

    i have tried to work the zen touch with Windows media player but this dose not work and the computer crashes every time.
    i have window xp professional and have all up dates from Windows. my computer is very new and has more then enough memory and ram.
    please can you help. i am not to happy with the zen touch computer program and would like to know how to fix this problem.
    thank you for your help

    I wonder if there are problems here associated with the use of the zen touch on SP2 machines. Interestingly I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Zen 20gb on a SP2 machine but I can do so on my sisters machine which has got SP. Obviously having the lastest firmware is a good idea though but I believe there are issues associated with SP2 and as you say you have all the latest updates to windows perhaps the problem lies there. Sorry if this doesn't help you at all

  • Zen Touch - not detected by Win

    Hello!
    I have a zen touch 40GB with the new firmware (the 2.xx). There is a problem with it. The player was working just fine for al ong time on this firmware, but couple of days ago WinXP stopped to recognize the device. What I mean is that it sees the player as an MTP device (ther is that small player icon in tray) but it doesnt show the player in explorer. This way I cannot access the players dri've, and do anythin with it. I've tried switching the usb ports, connecting it to my friends comp, cleaning up in recovery mode, but nothing works. Please help.

    nygerzzz,
    Check the device manager as SSR mention and see if it's detected properly. If there's nothing wrong with the detection at device manager then probably something went wrong with the permission setting in registry. You may want to check this Knowledgebase article SID0053 out and see if it hel

  • Zen Touch sync problem with Windows Media Player

    Please can someone tell me how to get my zen touch to sync with WMP it worked fine until i was advised to install an update to it and it has stopped recognising it! I'm using windows Xp home and have the latest "plays for sure" firmware on the player, Also another problem i cannot install the creative mediasource software to the pc as its wants the player connected and it doesn't recognise the player either!!! the player is recognised in the device manager though can anyone help me please thanks in advance.

    I am having a similar problem. I've upgraded firmware(2..0), mediasource(5.0.38), drivers(plays for sure), and Media player(), in that order. After each update, I checked how things worked. That's how I discovered I needed the next. With WMP 0, things were working fine, but I wanted WMP back on my computer. Since then, in CMS5 it takes about 7 minutes to load the player, at least 0 minutes (or sometimes not at all) to edit anything (tag info or playlist) and WMP hangs completely. I've seen that other people have gotten this combination to work with their Zen touch players. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • How to get Zen Touch to work on Windows Vista without PFS (worked!)

    CHow to get Zen Touch to work on Windows Vista without PFS (worked!)? ***THIS WORKED***
    For all of you that want to get their music out of the Zen touch, and are stuck with Vista and .0.03 firmware (non vista recognisable), and don't want to erase everything by installing the latest firmware, here is what worked for me:
    )Uninstall every piece of Touch software you got and reboot.
    2) Download the latest drivers from Creative: JB3MV2...exe, together with the latest Nomad explorer, and the latest Notmad explorer from Red Chair (a trial is enough, version 9.0.3 currently).
    3) Right click the driver, properties, go to compatibility mode, and select Windows XP SP2. Make sure your Zen is unplugged (worked for me that way). Right click the driver installer again and Run as Administrator. It hanged around 72% for me, no biggy, open your task manager and shut the installer off.
    4)Before rebooting, install Notmad explorer.(I installed only the Zen touch part of it. I tried to run it right away but got a 'cannot find explorer.exe error - again, no biggy).
    5) Reboot, plug in your Zen. Again for me, Notmad didn't work. This is what worked: Without messing up anything, install Nomad Explorer by Creative on top of it all, and reboot again.
    6) After reboot, with your Zen still plugged in, right click the little Notmad icon on the right part of the taskbar and select 'Connect Jukebox Zen'. And voila, check your explorer, it should hopefully recognise the Zen Touch like windows xp would.
    If you still run into trouble, just install stuff from the beggining, making sure Compatibility: WinXP SP2 and Run as Admin are used everywhere, and keep rebooting till it hopefully works.
    Best of luck. edit: Using Winamp to transfer files worked as well.

    Hi D2xS-Shooter,
    I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
    Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

  • Lumia 535 not detected in windows 8.1 latest updat...

    I just bought a lumia 535 and it will not install with any USB cable i have on my laptop , it has windows 8.1 up to latest update. Windows update doesnt show any updates available also not after reboot.
    I downloaded the winusb phone driver from microsoft site and tried to install that manually and still it wont work
    This is really a downer, since i expected a windows phone to easily connect to my win 8.1 computer
    Even the cheapest android phone does it in an instant!
    anyone know a way? else this phone goes back to shop because if i cant connact it i dont want it

    Did you get a USB cable with the phone?
    Use the USB cable that came with the phone.
    Connect the phone to the PC.  Turn it all the way off, hold power button and slide the screen down. The phone will turn back on and it will be detected, drivers should load.
    If your operating system did not come with Windows Media Player, install the Media Feature Pack for your version of the operating system.

  • Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

    Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

    I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
    They are all on the same network.  I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
    I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
    I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.
