Zen touch rebuilding libr

I?m having troubles with my Zen touch, when i turn on my zen touch it starts performing the rebulding library procedure, anybody could tell me why, to solve this problem i perform the clean up procedure and then i update the firmware but it doesn?t solve the problem, please tell me how to solve this problem, bye

Agreed, it isn't normal. This is only triggered when the player thinks the library is corrupt.
If you've run through the "My Zen is not starting properly, or goes into rescue mode, what should I do?" procedure in the FAQ post, you might want to resort to a format. Obviously backup the player first.

Zen xtra rebuilding libra

I have a 30 gig zen xtra. I got it in 04 and have had no issues with it. The past week it has been doing this "rebuilding library" after a cold boot (by cold boot I mean it has not been turned on for a day or two and shows the creative labs copyright screen.)After it rebuilds the library it works fine, but I am wondering if it is a sign of something bigger?I have not updated the firmware ever since I have had it the version is .0.0. Has anyone else had this issue? and what became of it'sIf i need to update the firmware which version is recommended?thxMessage Edited by merlin43 on 04-0-20072:53 AM

I recommend any version but the latest.
For the Xtra, avoid it like the plague. I've had nothing but problems... The same problems with two computers and two different Xtras.

Try running the Cleanup option in Rescue mode if you had not done so.

Zen Touch: Freezing while opening data libr

In the last few months, I have been unable to get any of the files that I have saved onto my 20GB Zen tOUCH. I have tried on several computers now, but everytime I open the data library through Nomad Explorer, it freezes and I am unable to even copy and paste the folders. Any ideas/tips/help?!
Cheers

Do you have drivers installed in those computers you connected your player to

My Zen Disappeared??? (Zen Touch 40

At first I was a bit skeptical about updating the firmware to the "Plays for Sure" ver 2..0 from the original .0.03 that came installed on my Zen Touch (Purchased Dec 5th) 'cause I really don't use any subscription services. I was a bit concerned that the "Custom EQ" didn't funtion as I thought it should. (I just put out $00.00 for a set of Shure E2c's though) So, I backed up all my music, and went ahead with the firmware upgrade. I was a bit unhappy when I found that Mediasource no longer had the same functionality but since I was pretty familiar with WMP0 I felt, I could get past that hurdle. I was happy to see that "My Zen" was listed in the WMP Library when I first used WMP to reload all of my music. I am a bit concerned now that I have had to reboot and rebuild the music library on my Touch that it has now disappeared from the WMP library.
Does anyone out there know how to get it back?

You lost your Zen Touch? awww....
Does WMP0 detect it at all? If its not detecting then read <a href='http://forums.americas.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=2558#M2558' target=_blank>this[/url] for ways to get it working.

Zen Touch 40 GB: problems transferring music files and playli

Hi,
Creative Zen Touch 40 GB, one year old<
[color="#330000">PlaysForSure Firmware 2..0<
Creative MediaSource Organizer 5.0.38<
Creative?Sync Manager 5.0.9.0<
Windows XP Service Pack 2<
527?music (.wma) files on the player; 4205 MB of free space<
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to?transfer music files and playlists to my Zen Touch player now that the amount of free space on it has fallen below 5 GB. More often than not, it's necessary to put the player into Recovery mode, perform a clean-up, and then reboot and rebuild the library before Sync Manager works properly. I often need to repeat this process several times before I can transfer anything. Increasingly, too, Windows fails to detect the presence of the player when I connect it to my computer. Rebooting both the player and the computer usually fixes this issue. Transferring files by dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer is obviously much quicker than using Sync Manager, but here again I keep running into problems. It's as if the player freezes and refuses to take on-board any more files. Also, I can't find a way to transfer playlists except with Sync Manager. Are these known problems? I recalling running into similar issues with the Zen Touch 20 GB a few years ago. And could the fact that I'm doggedly using an old (998) and underpowered computer be an issue? I'm thinking of replacing the computer anyway, but is it likely that these synchronization problems would diminish or disappear altogether if I were to upgrade to something speedier?Thanks for any insights,Pete

I too have a simular problems! Managing music is the biggest problem with over 0 Gigs. Some artists songs sometimes change name titles, artists,?and etc. Win Explorer is most used by me now. Yes, I do lose sync from time to time! Especially when I open two windows on the portable zen. There are two tools that need. . Playlist management - it takes too long to do it on the player. I want to create "Gym Vibes" and had it on my old creative?Nomad player, but couldn't transfer. "Creative Sync Manager" doesn't do it!?Without all that sync stuff how can I create and edit creative's playlist on a PC?2. A method for detecting dupicates?This is my second creative portable and if I don't get the tools I won't buy another!

Zen Touch is stuck in "re-building library" m

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#3333cc size=4>I have never had any problems besides this and I have owned my zen touch since Nov. 2004 but I also never updated any firmware or anything and now I can't because it won't power on unless it is plugged into a wall outlet, it doesn't power on by itself or through my computer. It just keeps going to "re-building library". It is not re-building anything because the bar only moves about /8 of the way and just stays right there. I just changed my battery thinking it was that but it is still stuck. I also did a "clean up" and rebooted and it didn't help either. Anyone have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated because I can't update any firmware if it doesn't power on to get connected to my computer. TIA,

Tia, I also got my MP3 player around the same time as you and have been having similar problems. Mine was trying to rebuild the library for awhile but after a few tries of that it just completley turned off altogether. Now it tells me their is a hardware problem. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to try next?!

Zen Touch is frozen, won't shut off, doesn't reset, e

I just bought my Zen Touch about a month ago. All has been going great until this morning when I found the screen frozen in shut-down mode. I reset it - but when it boots itself back up, none of the buttons work, I can't shut it off, etc. Basically, the entire thing is frozen! I'm really disappointed as I heard so many great things about Creative and I spent a lot of money on this product.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm not that tech-savvy and need any assistance! Thanks.

Right, first download the latest firmware from the site, or even if you have already done it, it may be corruipted.
You'll need to go into Recovery Mode. Hopefully its the same with all players:
Get a pin and put it into reset while holding the power button in the power direction and wait a few seconds. Then take the pin out, still holding the power down. After its booted up, the Recvoery mode will appear.
Now go to Reload firmware or something similar, and start the downloaded program up on the PC. When it says to do so, connect it up using USB, and select Update, even if it warns about it being the same one.
(Hopefully you won't have to format, as you do on some players before updating )
After that, it should rebuild. Then go into Recovery Mode again, and run a Disk Cleanup to check there aren't any errors on the disk.
Hopefully, all should be okay again then!
Good luck with it

Zen Touch Froz

Hi, I've had my Zen Touch for a few months now and it was great, but now lately, everytime I try to turn it on and pick a song, it freezes and i'd have to reset it, but now I can't to listen to any songs on it nor can I connect it to my computer, is there a solution to this?
Thanks

Have you tried to do a clean up from the rescue mode? This will rebuild the library. See the Rescue Mode posting at the top of the forum for instructions.

So, my zen touch is still acting weird, but differently n

So, yesterday and earlier today my zen touch had the power light lite, but no picture. Well, just a few minutes ago i noticed the power light was off, and oh how happy i was. Well, i go to try to power it up and nothing happens. Thinking maybe the batteries died i plug it into my charger. The power light goes on again, but it doesnt blink which indicates charging. So i unplug it and plug it into my usp port. THE LIGHT BLINKS, SUCCESS! Only problem is, screen won't turn on and my PC won't read that it is connected. Maybe my MP3 player is defected, which i hope its not, because i need it for finals week*starts tomorrow*

As TridentCQB intimates, I would reset the player, and also run a disk cleanup. This should hopefully clear any strange behaviour. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

Zen Touch pausing prob

Hi all,
I have a Zen Touch, bought in November, with the latest firmware upgrade. The problem I've been having recently is while playing songs they suddenly pause for a second or so then start again. Sometimes other songs start playing in the middle of a song, then it goes back to the one shown on the screen. Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Do a disk clean up from the rescue mode. It takes a couple of minutes and it rebuilds the library.

Problems with my Zen Touch

Tracks seem to be jumping a bit so i did a reset and clean up, however after it started rebuilding library, a firmware problem is popping up and i've have no clue how to solve it. Resetting it just brings me right back and I can't get it to the menu for reboot/ format. Please help !

I'm having the same problem with my Zen Touch. When I press Play/Pause, it will sometimes work correctly, other times it acts as if I had pressed Previous. When it does this, it sometimes jumps to the start of the current track, sometimes to a different track. This is the most common problem, but I have also had it act as if I had hit Random. I have tried loading the latest firmware, but this had no effect on the problem. Thanks.

PLEZ HELP! Zen touch transfer iss

Hi, im havin some issues with my zen touch. It connects fine to mediasource (meanin im able to see zen touch under sources and see the music stored on my touch etc) and i can sometimes transfer music to it from my comouter via usb. However sumtimes it doesnt work, i.e i'l be able to send anywhere between -20 songs to it and then the next song i try to transfer an error message is displayed on media source "player is either busy or not connected, please try again later" then i'l have to leave it for at least half an hour and repeat the process until the problem arises again. U can understand how annoying this is for me especially since im trying to put such a large music collection onto my player. Can any help. i will be grateful 4 any possible solutions..

AliClifton: Connection and transfer issues are always tricky to troubleshoot because it can be many things.
The first thing to try is a disk cleanup, which is very simple to do. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
Secondly, make sure you have the latest drivers, software and firmware from Nomadworld.com downloads.
Thirdly, check whether the player has the same problem on a friend's PC.

Zen Touch disk capac

Generally I'm happy with my Zen Touch 20 GB so far. Now, after a couple of months of ripping my CD collection the harddisk is getting slowly full and I remember reading somewhere that you should avoid completely filling the harddisk. But I have no idea how much space should be left free of the 20 GB?
Also, how can I defrag the disk without loosing the firmware? Via the clean up function in rescue mode or is this function just for checking the disk?
Thanks, Micha

Don't know about filling it - as far as I can see there's no reason not to use up the full amount, but about defragging: there's no need to - the Firmware's good at organising the disk without having to defrag it. Because of this, there's no way of doing it - Clean Up only rebuilds the library from the ID3 tags.
Hope that hel
ps.

Help- my Zen touch is stuck in recovery m

Can anyone help me?
My zen touch has been playing up for ages when i try to sync music to it- I think the hard dri've has been corrupted from months of being able to 'stop the device' before I remove the USB. The other day it crashed whilst syncing files. I reset it and it was rebuilding the library but once it was finished it just stayed on the rebuilding library screen. I then tried disc clean up which ran till 00% but then similarly stuck on the disc cleanup screen. I decided to try reloading the firmware- mistake. I have erased it, and although the firmware programme *does* recognise the player and starts to run it stops halfway through then says the upgrade has failed. So now I have an MP3 player with no firmware. I've tried to format it but although it says its formatting it doesn't seem to be doing anything and will just sit on the format logo till the battery runs out.
It seems well and trully broken from a software point of view. Is there any way I can completely wipe it and start again? How do I return it to Creative for repair (its well out of warranty).
Thanks for any help!
Jennie

Sounds like the hard dri've heads are jammed. Do you get a faint clicking followed by the recovery menu on bootup?
You can try the advice here, at your own risk.
