Zen V Plus and USB Connect

Hello everyone. First off... I love the look, feel, and design of the Zen V plus. I'm hoping to eventually get to compliment the actual functionality of it. It has been a long day of hurry up and wait since I sped off to Circuit City early this afternoon for the Zen V plus. I'm just DYING to test it out, but it seems there is a major stumbling block. Let me give you a step by step run down of what has gone on since I can't seem to find a solution in the other posts I've read:
I put the installation disc and successfully installed the software on it.
After installation, I connected the zen v plus to the USB port and it wasn't long before I saw the battery symbol, complete with lightning bolt to show that it was charging. I also noticed that it was "docked", and I saw the USB symbol on the screen of the mp3 player. The button lights were glowing on and off. No problems yet...
I checked to see if you could sync songs while it charged - and it didn't recognize the player.
Around the 4 hour later mark, it DID recognize the player, and allowed me to rip and sync my Maroon 5 CD. I decided to leave and let it charge fully before making any other attempts.
I come home, and the mp3 player has been charging for approximately 6.5 hours. The lights are no longer flashing, and it has appeared to shut off, which I assumed meant it was done charging.
I unplug - attempt to turn on - and nothing. It's dead. Now...it's not being recognized at all.
I'm not good with electronics really, and never pretended to be, but something tells me the USB connection is weird. My brother owns a PSP - and sometimes it doesn't want to read *his* device either. I'm wondering if perhaps it did recognize the device long enough to give me confidence that it was charging, and then lost the usb connection at some point. (It's highly doubtful that my pc went into any sort of sleep/power save mode because there is almost always someone on the computer here.)
For what it's worth, I am using WMP 0, Windows XP (service pack 2), and have tried ALL usb ports (front and back) to get some juice into this thing. The computer just won't recognize it now. I plug it in and hit the power button, and it won't show me so much as a sign of life.
Any suggestions

I had this exact same problem. you should see a little plug on the battery when its connected to the computer, you are seeing a lightning bolt because your V Plus has an old Firmware version on it. Head to the Support->Downloads section and download the latest (..03 I think). This fixed most of the problems I was having.

I had an update message on my phone and I clicked yes to update. Now the phone has a picture of itunes and usb connection, but can't be used. itunes says I have to restore my phone, but will lose all the data. Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to lose all my pictures and other data.

It's in recovery mode. There is nothing left on the phone at all. If you didn't back it up before you started, your data is gone.
you have no choice but to restore at this point.

All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

Problems running creative zen nano plus and nomad muvo on same compu

We have 2 nomad muvo mp3 players and now a zen nano plus .Have had constant problems with the media organiser .
Installed zen nano plus and selected enable smart fit to get maximum amount of songs and it worked fine but as soon as we tried to install software for the 2 nomad players it would not work smart fit for any of them.
Uninstalled everything and got the zen software in and it was running ok but then seemed to have problems and although smart fit was enabled it just copied files as the original mp3.
It then fatally crashed yesterday and I am awaiting a replacement as I had only had it for 2 days.
Is it possible to run all 3 and to be able to use smart fit on all 3 players or am I better off having just one working and using the file converter for the other 2.

Creative Zen V Plus and libmtp

First off, for some reason whenever I plug my creative zen in, my laptop assumes this is some sort of photo device. In additino to that, Amarok won't recognize it.
When I did mtp-detect:
Listing raw device(s)
Found 1 device(s):
Creative: ZEN V Plus (041e:4152) @ bus 0, dev 15
Attempting to connect device(s)
usb_claim_interface(): Device or resource busy
LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device
Unable to open raw device 0
OK.
Should I be concerned about the LIBMTP PANICE?

Amarok1 can definitely do this and I think it's probably got the best interface for copying tracks to the player - I only keep amarok1 installed purely for transferring tracks to my player!
danielsoft wrote:wait, does that mean that this player cannot be connected as a generic USB storage device?
My Vision:M can partition part of the harddrive that will mount as a storage device, but that's only for files. Audio and Video is transferred only through MTP which is a pain in the wotsits. I'm not sure about all creative players, but I think the majority are MTP.

Creative zen v plus and the belkin char

We discovered something that maybe is so obvious to everyone else but maybe not... we bought the belkin charger that works with our zen v plus. HOWEVER please note the usb cables that come with it and then with the zen v plus are NOT interchangeable. We at first assumed the only difference was the belkin cord was longer but the shorter cable that came with our zen v plus does NOT work with the wall charger. It made our zen lights blink on and off and go wierd and not charge at all but thankfully did not damage our player WHEW!

If the purchases you are talking about are DRM-protected files, which is mostly what the iTunes Store sells, they are not compatible with players other than iPod.
All you can do with them is use iTunes to burn them to an *audio CD.* Think how handy it would be to have them on an *audio CD.*
Going forward, do not spend your hard earned money on songs with proprietary DRM protection. There are other online stores, such as amazon.com, that sell the same songs in non-DRM format, which will be compatible with iPod, Zen, or virtually any other player.

No Player Detected for my Zen V Plus, and I don't have Windows Media Pla

I don't get it, I went to uninstall Windows Media Player , since that is what every one says is the reason my computer isn't recognizing the Zen V Plus, but I don't even have it on my computer. What else can I do? I am not so PC friendly I have to admit, I work on a IMAC at work and just barely tolerate the PC that we have at home. Any suggestions before make a trip to the Apple store and pic up an IMac and IPod?

I bought my daughter the Zen V Plus for her birthday because we were getting tired of the Sony Walkman mp3 player only playing their format (atrac3). It made it hard to get music off the net that was mp3 format. It does not convert well. Anyway, we followed the install directions to the letter. It took all day (over 5 hours) to get this set up and music INTO it.
Turns out, while Windows Media Player transfers music to the player just fine, the Creative Media Source is junk. It does NOT recognize the player so you can not transfer music to the player. The Sync Mangager just wants to add EVERY song in your computer to the player and the Creative Media Explorer doesn't know what to do. I have used Sony Connect, iTunes and Windows Media player. All require program to transfer music. Why does this tiny player need so many programs? Why not one GOOD one to organize, burn, sync? It's like non of these programs can talk to the other one. To use the Media Explorer we had to re-create a playlist we already had in the MediaSource program. Also, I miss the easy - 2 - 3 of the Sony/iTunes/Windows Media Player.
MediaSource requires like 5 steps to organize the music list the way you want it (by song, artist etc). Other programs you just click on the column title and it organizes it just like that.
?I have decided for our own sanity (lost of profanity and tears just trying to get music into the player today) that we would just use Windows Media Player 0 from now on. My only complaint about using Windows Media Payer 0 to organize and transfer music is that I don't know how to make it tell me what is already in the player when I want to add/delete or change the music around.
?Does anyone know what program has to remain on our computer to run the Zen V Plus? Can I remove the dead MediaSource? Will the player still charge without it's?

My question is, how do I restore my ipod touch after getting rid of all content which it had on it and now has a full battery and usb connection and itunes?

I 'gutted' my ipod yesterday, and I am trying to restore playability and get away from the usb connection with itunes!!

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 why is my phone showing i tunes symbol and usb connection

That is known as Recovery mode and the device needs to be connected to iTunes. You could also do a search of these forums for iPhone recovery mode.

Zen Stone Plus and RhapsodyT

Hi,I see that Rhapsody does not yet list the Zen Stone as a?compatible device with RhapsodyToGo. I have 2 questions. ) does anyone know for sure if it is or not 2) Does Rhapsody have plans to make work?This will detemine if I get one for my wife - since we have RhapsodyToGo?Thanks

Direct copy/paste from the specs page for your player:
Audio Playback Format:
]Audible Format 2 and 3
MP3 (Up to 320 kbps)<
WMA (Up to 320 kbps)<
WMA with Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WMDRM) 9
So that would be a "no."
EDIT: [color="#008000">Or perhaps "maybe." Creative is being schizo again on their spec pages. I believe the "with built-in speaker" models are the newest. The specs for the "Zen Stone w/..." are as above. The specs for the "Zen Stone Plus w/..." say it supports Audible 4 (which may or may not be accurate). I assume the non-speaker Zen Stones are the oldest models. If the "Zen Stone w/..." model? doesn't do Audible 4 then I doubt the older models would. Regardless, the question is still open for debate. ?

Zen V Plus and Rati

OK - I've seen a lot of posts from years ago... But is there anything in any new type of firmware that would allow you to rate songs in a Zen V Plus, like every other mp3 player - or somehow note songs you like? Or would that be a possible future firmware that would introduce that? or no?

sometimes i wonder if moderators actually read these threads because fansubs are technically illegal, and thus discussing them is illegal.
anyway, yes, the text will be illegible, as most fansubs are encoded at around 640x480-024x768, and so are the subs. so if you shrink it down to the 60x20 resolution of the screen, they will be about pixel high, if that.
