Zen Touch Touch Pad Iss

I recently got a 20G Zen Touch a couple weeks ago. Now recently my touch pad is messing up. What happens is when I do the motion on the pad to go up on the menu, it goes down on the menu instead. When I do the motion on the pad to go down on the menu, it goes down. So basically its really hard to navigate since the only direction to go is down. I tried resetting the player numerous times and I installed the latest firmware. Any help for this?

I am having the same problem except I got mine on christmas of 2004 and it has worked perfectly until I dropped it on the dri'veway this afternoon then none of the buttons would respond... I reset it once and then all the buttons worked except... my touch pad is doing the exact same thing you described. Any information at all or anyone who has had a similiar problem please post. Also... in my time of owning my beloved Zen Touch... the warrenty sticker has come off so I doubt creative will accept it for repairs.... does anyone know any information as to where I can get this repaired? any information. It would greatly aid Maiden 75 and I.

HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

Zen Touch - Touch pad only goes do

I have a Zen Touch 20Gb
Sometimes it freezes so I have to reboot it by pushing inside that little hole on the side. Is that ususal for this player? Should I accept it or should Creative fix it's
And the big problem is that I can only scroll downwards in the menues with the touchpad. When I try to do up with my fingers it still goes down. Has this happend to anyone of you?
I wonder if i am the only person who is dissapointed with this player because I only here good things from you on this forum.
Now I have to send it back from where I bought (I li've in sweden but I have to send it to france) and I have to pay for it. Not that funny. :-(

Some people that have previously posted here have had problems with the Touchpad and were able to fix it by exerting force on the touchpad on the bottom and the top until they here a quiet click. It may be that the Touch pad is simply loose. However, try it at your own risk.

I've also discovered a problem with my Touch Pad. I've had my Zen Touch only a matter of days and the pad has become over sensiti've and perculiar. I only have to hover my finger above it and it starts moving although it doesn't stop on what I want it to, it just shoots down to something below. I have the sensitivity set to low and it was working last night. It hasn't been dropped or knocked.
Can anyone help me?!?
I feel ever so slightly annoyed as it's pretty much brand new as I only received it a few days ago.
I had the same problem when I first got my Touch. I have the sensitivity set to the lowest setting. It has helped. It might also be that you just aren't used to the pad yet. That took me a couple months, but 5 months later, it works great for me.

Zen Touch touch pad --an observat

Did anyone notice that the highlighter seems to accelerate when the touch pad is used, and consequently more innacurate? I was toying with an Ipod one day and i noticed that its click wheel seems more intuiti've because the highlighter does not accelerate. However, you need to do more moving around on the click wheel, but it's more accurate. With the zen touch, I find myself only moving my thumb a short distance and the highlighter is sometimes all over the place. Perhaps creative could address this too in a future firmware upgrade, because the most recent has done minimal at most, and the touch pad still remains an issue for both new users and owners alike.

Hi eastern, I'm actually a bit confused as to what you mean by "highlighter". Could you elaborate?

Creative zen mirco touch pad prob

My creative?ZM?turns on &?plays music fine?BUT i cant use the?scroll or touch pad, meaning i cant change song,change playlist, press play/pause, change volume etc. its like the lock is on but its not.will someone please help asap!! I have no idea what to do. x

I'd suggest a Zen Wired Remote. It'd be a lot easier than taking the Zen apart and trying to fix it.

Zen Micro Touch pad Prob

Hey guys. I bought a Zen Micro from eBay for pretty cheap.
I knew that it was slightly faulty which is the reason why it's so cheap.
Basically, what's wrong with it, is that the vertical touch pad only goes one way at a time.
EG, if i want to put the volume up, I'll scroll up but it'll go down.
Now I thought I'd found a way to fix this, which is to push hard on the scroll pad in the direction I want to go then the scroller would be set to go that way. This isn't really practical but it does work sometimes.
What I want to know is is there any way I can fix it permanently? I have disassembled it and taken a look around but there wasn't anything I could see that could be causing a problem because the touch pad part of the Micro is hidden behind that big metal plate.. so I can't see in there.
Anybody else had this problem?

Zen Micro, touch pad stuck one one arti

I am unable to escape from one artist which has 6 songs. No matter what category I select (FM ,most popular,play mode) when I touch >\\ it only goes back to those 6 songs. I am unable to escape. I tried to remove the battery for 0 second, turned power off then on?but it comes back to the same artist and same 6 songs. No matter what button I touch same results.

Zen Micro touch pad responsiven

I have been having sporadic problems with the touch pad responding to my touch, at any sensitivity setting. It only happens sometimes, but happened last night when my phones were not plugged into the ZM. When I plugged the phones into my ZM, the touch pad was back to normal. Any experiences similar to this and should I just chalk up the sporadic nonresponsi'veness to the ZM just being tempermental?

after all who uses there Micro without phones/audio output device?plugged in ?
actualy, I use the calender funtion alot without the headphones beeing pluged in. I guess I belong to the minority who does that.
My touchpad works great, even when the headphones aren't pluged in. something might be wrong with your touchpads but if you don't use it without the headphones pluged in, then don't worry about it.

Vision M Vertical Touch Pad Iss

[size="3" face="Times New Roman">If I press on the edge of the vertical touch pad in any place other than where the forward and reverse arrows are, it resets back to the beginning of what ever I am listening two. ?I have had the player replaced and the second does it as well. The tech folks at Creative can't seem to help or explain why this might be happening. Very annoying because sometimes when I aim for the options button, I hit the edge of the vertical touch pad and I get sent right back to the beginning of the song or book. Any ideas as to why this is happening or how to prevent??

sharegood,
Are you referring to the side of the touch pad? Actually from your post, the player doesn't sound like it's faulty. In fact, it's normal operation. The side of the touch pad act as either a Rewind/Forward button (if you press and hold it) or a Previous/Next button (if you press it once).

Zen Micro Touch pad suggest

You know how if you hold your finger on all the way to the top or bottom, it will rapidly scroll up or down. Well it works on all of my fingers except my thumb. It put my thumb all the way up, hopping that it will scroll all the way up, but it works half the time
Creative should know that the thumb is the one who i going to use the scroll pad. Not a big deal to me but maybe to some people

I think it has something to do with the surface area your thumb is large compaired with your finger so when your thumb is at the top or bottom it cant tell the difference between it and a stationary finger near the top. if it would react to your thumb i believe that if you were to use another finger it would be far to reacti've and scroll when u didnt want it to.
it does, when you scroll up or down and hold your finder at the top or botton it will rapidly scroll through the list. give it a try its useful and a feature that cant be achieved with a scroll wheel.

Zen Micro Touch Pad Non Functio

I just received my new Zen Micro, and the touchpad doesnt work at all. Not only that, but he power button doesnt either. I can move it all I want, but the player doesnt turn off if its on, and doesnt turn on if its off.

Before you contact the store or Technical Support, can you just double check for me if the lock switch is on? When locked, this will preven the unit from turning on.

I have an i pod touch and have just recieved an i pod one from a friend. it is at factory settings - but i would like to transfer data from the i touch to the new i pad - can't seem to do that. when i go to i tunes to restore - it just wants to restore the blank i pad. any suggestions? Thanks

You need to backup the Touch to your computer and then Restore from that backup with the iPad. This will only work in the Touch is running 5.1.1 or earlier.

Zen Micro % Touch Ca

Hey guys if we all make enough request on this website for cases they will develop one for us in a good timely fashion, i think we should all give it a try and see what comes of it. Doesn't take to long just about a min and it is worth getting a case for our plyers at least here is the link:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/index.htm
I have chosen between the acti've case and the flexskin type cases in which are both very nice and decent and i also request a minisync cable also. I hope you guys decide to give this a try because i know i would like a case differ from that given to us by creative.

But these cases are very well priced, the price range of $5 - $23 and they are very durable and i own a zen touch 40gb already and the vaja cases to me are too business style like and i would like a sportish case or a nice looking one because one case (vaja) is not enough we need a variety don't we. And i would just hope that you guys would be willing to help in that we need more cases for our players.
