Zen V plus not recognised by computer and rebuilds library every time it is switched on

My zen V plus has been working ok but just yesterday it stopped being recognised by my computer. It also rebuilds the library every time I switch it on. I wonder if I may have disconnected it prematurely when it was docked and transferring data. I have reset it but no difference. Any suggestions please.

My ZenV plus finally gave up the ghost. Blank screen and wont power up also wont reset . This was a great little player and I got them for the kids too so went and bought myself a new Zev Style 100. I have downloaded the Setup but whereas the V was ajoy to manage on line ( so simple) I cant see how to create and manage playlists with the style . can anyone help? There also seems to be a way of creating playlists on the player itself but so far I have managed to type in and create a playlist title but cant fathom out how to transfer songs into it.
this is all very frustrating . HELP!!

Zen stone plus not detected by computer..

I have found many post on same subject , but still have not found a case similar to mine, or adequate answer..
I have been using my Stone plus for a year, with no trouble.
It is still working properly as a player.
I just decided to add some music on it, and my computer is unable to detect it. But it used to.
I have been using the same computer, and same operating system, windows XP.
I have tried to find the device going through Start/Control Panel/system/hardware/device manager/USB controllers but it shows nothing except USD root hub and Intel 9290EB USB Uni'versal host Controller
when I connect my Zen stone to my computer is is only able to charge the battery,
Can anyone help ?

-. Hello Seb_tokyo,
Welcome to Creative forums!
When you plug in the ZEN stone, your device manager list should refresh. Besides under USB controllers, did it detect anything when you plug it's You can also try the following:
.) Unplug/replug the USB cable and connect it to the rear USB port instead of using front ports.
2.) If you have another USB cable, try using a different one and see if it works.

A new and empty library every time I boot my PC

If I boot my PC iTunes forgets that there's anything in the library, and when I connect my iPod there's a message saying it's linked to a different library.
Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

That is a classic symptom of other software not letting itunes save its database file. iTunes Library.itl
For example see this HUGE old thread where some Sony Vaio media management software was causing it.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8537277
A short list of other programs that people have found interfering with itunes is
Norton/Symantec
McAfee
Kaspersky
ESET NOD
IObits
Windows Live OneCare
Carbonite
Mozy
Uniblue Speed Up My PC
You have to tell the other program not to do a real-time scan of the itunes Library.itl file.
Just wondering, do you close down itunes manually before you reboot the PC?

Had an update error now itunes will not recognise my phone and it is frozen

I tried to update my iphone 3g tonight and it encountered an error. Now itunes will not recognise the phone and it is frozen on a screen telling me to connect it to itunes. I have turned it on and off and it remains stuck. I have restarted my computer and itunes and no change.

Hey- just went through something similar - and I'm sorry I don't have the perfect answer... bc mine did what you are saying except my itunes did recognize that "an iphone" was connected and so it suggested that I do a recovery-mode restore on it and then I did a back up restore via itunes to get my most recent back up transferred to my iphone, and then it finally listed my phone as "xxx's iphone" in itunes.... here's the link I used: http://www.copytrans.net/blog/how-to-restore-iphone-after-updating-to-ios-7/ and I also used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
I think what you are saying is that itunes doesn't even recognize that your iphone is plugged in - so you can't start the recovery process? I DO know that in the hours of me muddling through the internet - googling this issue - that I did see other posts of those who plugged into itunes, and it didn't recognize their iphone, but they DID have suggestions on how to deal with the problem... while I don't have "the" solution, I wanted you to know I did see an answer out there - just skimmed past it as I was searching for mine... sorry I don't remember good luck!

After doing a suggested update of itunes on my pc it will not open and gives me a msg saying msvcr80.dll is not on my computer and windows error 126 has occured

After doing an update of itunes on my pc Itunes will no longer open and gives me a msg about MSVCR80.dll not on my computer and Itunes was installed incorrectly error 7 (windows error 126)

This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes. I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

Iphone 4 is not detected by computer and itunes but it is charging

Iphone 4 (IOS 7) is not detected by computer and itunes.
I am the 2nd owner of this iPhone 4. I did all the troubleshooting said in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 but nothing resolved it.
Troubleshooting I did:
1. Used other iphone / ipod devices, it worked but not my iphone 4.
2. Used different Windows OS and different computer, Win7 & Win8, still not detected.
3. Used different USB cables, still not detected. But my current USB cable is working with other iPhone/iPod devices.
3. Uninstall / Install iTunes, still not detected.
4. There is no "X" in the device Manager, and also, portable devices is not showing upon plugging in the device.
5. Made sure that the Apple Mobile Service is running.
6. I only have iPhone devices, so I don't have any 3rd party Software conflicts.
Please help me. Thanks!

IPOD Shuffle not recognized by computer, and caused a USB power surge

Device is not recognized by computer, and I tried the listed support recommendations.
The problem originated when I plugged the IPOD shuffle directly into the computer USB ( not using a hub), and this caused a warning window to appear saying unknown device has caused a power surge to this port, and most be removed. Prior to this event, the IPOD shuffle has worked (with direct contact with computer usb or through a powered highspeed usb hub) without issue for nearly 1 year. Any taker's on this issue? Thanks.

Hi JBR,
Go to your control panel and click on Install/Uninstall programs. Scroll down and see if you have multiple versions of the ipod updater installed on your computer. If you do, then uninstall both versions. Reboot your computer.
Next, go to the downloads page and download/install the 1-10-2006 ipod updater. Once installed, go to your start programs and select ipod updater from there. Plug in your ipod and wait a moment. If it's like mine, it'll recognize your ipod and then you can do a "restore" for a clean format.
After that, open itunes and life should be good.
Hope this helps!

Airport utilities does not recognise windows 7 and will not load, how do I fix this?

Airport utiltiy will not load, it does not recognise windows 7 and I get an effor message telling me that it requires XP or vista etc.
I have deleted and reloaded Airport Utilities, Bonjour and Itunes to no effect. Help!

well...i go only to the site "Test it here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml". After this i was able to go to a site with the title "Java Downloads for All Operating Systems" and here you download your JRE for your OS. For XP or Win 7 it was a java 6 update 29-b11. The file to install is named '''jxpiinstall.exe'''. After install an restart you go again to [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml testvm.xml] and see that the java plugin works fine.... (see the screenshot)...

I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks. Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?

No. You must connect your iPad to a computer (it does not have to be yours) in order to restore it to factory settings.
Once you're home, you can restore it from a backup.
Any content that you did not backup has been lost.

No but it transfers the music that is purchased from the iPhone back to my computer, when I don't want it on either and I can't uncheck or delete it directly on my phone.
