Zen Vision M 30GB will not stay docked on Windows XP

For some reason my Zen won't stay docked into the computer so i can upload music and such to it. I can connect it..it'll actually charge but it won't change to the USB docked screen. It stays at my main screen and can cycle through my options and everything. Itried uninstalling and re-installing...i tried updating my MTP driver but that worked for a few seconds. And when it finally does dock. It'll actually stay there for a good...5 seconds and then exit as if it was disconnected from the USB plug. It doesn't even say "Updating".
I'd like to update the firmware on my Zen but it's .4.0. Not only does the MTP device have a yellow "!" but also SCSI/Raid Host Controller. Any idea why this is happening at all?

Zen Vision M (30Gb) will not turn

My Vision:M is 6 months old. I used it last 2 days ago. It won't turn on. I tried connecting it to my PC and tried recharging it - no response from the player. Any suggestions other than throwing it away?

What ubs port or you using? If it is one in the front use one in the rear. It may take some time( few hours) for it start charging if battery is REALLY dead. Or if you have a wall charger for it use that instead. Next option if battery has finally really died from just being worn out (they don't last forever) buy & install a new one? here's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akJDRpx6rA8 ? a how to open player (if not under warranty)? here's http://www.infinitybatteries.com/p-4...n-polymer.aspx where to get a new battery.

ZEN Vision:M 30GB Battey not recharg

Has any one else?had any issues with the battery not recharging on the ZEN Vision:M 30GB. The battery Icon does even show that is?recharging. Any suggestions?I emailed Creative Lab support and they told me this below!?All ZEN MP3 players (except ZEN Nano and ZEN Plus) have a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. You can charge your MP3 player by connecting it to
the power adapter (if included with your player), or by connecting it
to
a powered USB port on your PC.
When a MP3 player has not been used or charged over a long period of
time, it can take up to 60 minutes for the charging icon to appear when
it is being charged

Mine is doing that too... I had to send my other one in because it lost power and so they sent me this one, and I have a power adapter for the wall, which for as?long as I left in on there (4 hours) it should be showing some charge, but nothing.Right now, its?"charging" from my computer and I'm importing videos to it, so hopefully it shows something.

Zen Vision M 30G will not connect to

New at this, please bear with me.
My player worked just fine, unfortunately I don't have a car charger and after a long trip killed the battery. I return home, plug the player into my computer and nothing happens. I get frustrated, try everything, even going from USB port to USB port to get the thing to charge... nothing.
I leave it plugged in for a week and forget about it for?a few days. Well, it's charged, I'm happy about that, however I'm not very happy that it is not being recognized by my computer. Nope, no docking symbol, nothing. When I open the program it tells me the device is not connected. So again I try it in every port available and nothing. I do get a symbol within the battery symbol that sort of looks like a plug in, but no lightning bolt or dock symbol. (I guess it won't give me a lightning bolt if it's fully charged, right? (duh)).
I even uninstalled and installed the software on my computer thinking this is the problem, checked the USB ports through the control panel(...), I get nothing.
Anyone, please help. By the way, I am not a computer expert, nor am I an MP3 expert, I just want this thing to work so I don't have to go out and buy a new one. This one is only a year old and I only use it in my vehicle on long tri

(PLEH!? That's help backwards, this is a serious problem)

This has happened to me a few times with my vision m. First, is your firmware updated?
Driver Removal/Reinstallation
If this is not your first time plugging your ZVM into that computer, and it had worked before, then it is likely your system's driver cache has gotten corrupted. Windows has the occasional habit of "forgetting" things that it had recognized in the past. You will have to uninstall and reinstall the driver. To do this:
Plug your ZVM into the USB port, if it isn't already.<
Go to Windows' Device Manager by right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting "Properties" (alternati'vely, if you are not running in "Start Menu Classic View" mode, then open your Control Panel from the Start Menu, select "Performance and Maintenance", and selecting "System"). From there, select the "Hardware" tab, and click "Device Manager".<
Locate the entry for "Creative Zen Vision:M" in the device list. It should be located under "Portable Devices".<
Right-click the "Creative Zen Vision:M" entry, and select "Uninstall".<
When the entry disappears, unplug your player, and wait several seconds.<
Plug your player back in. The "Found New Hardware" wizard should come up. Allow it to locate and install the driver automatically.<
Windows Media Player on Windows XP
If you are running Windows XP and have updated your Windows Media Player to WMP from WMP0, and you start encountering connectivity issues, you may have a conflict between WMP and your Creative software. There are three possible solutions for this:
Download and install the update patch for Creative Media Explorer, which can be found on the appropriate download page on Creative's website. This makes the Creative software compatible with WMP's MTP driver.<
Completely uninstall all Creative software and use WMP instead. If the problem persists, reinstall WMP.<
Roll-back WMP back to WMP0.<
Docked, but Not Recognized
If your player is showing all the signs of being docked, but your computer isn't seeing it, then try performing a Disk Cleanup from the ZVM's Recovery Mode menu. As a last resort when nothing else has worked, you may need to reformat your ZVM - also from Recovery Mode. Note that you will lose all of your media files when you reformat.
you might want to check out http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=0960 for more info about this. I wish i bookmark the thread that i have on the creative forum about this same exact problem. search it up if u can.

Zen Vision:m 30gb doesn't work properly with Windows 7 64bit

I recently upgraded my pc from an old xp machine to a new one running windows 7 ultimate. Creative says their media player software that originally shipped with the zen does not support windows 7, so i should use windows media player (the version that ships with windows 7; i cannot find a help dialog box with the version number). Creative also says that the zen vision:m uses only microsoft MTP drivers, so I don't need to upgrade any drivers and it should be compatible. However, although the zen vision:m connects fine and I can see the mp3 files on the zen HDD, I cannot play them in the main windows media player screen. I can only double click on files and play them in the small windows media player window without any controls. Of course, I can't import any of the zen mp3 files into the music library in windows media player or set up any playlists. I checked every menu item and dialog box that i can think of on my zen and in windows 7, but nothing appears to be relevant to this problem. Any ideas, other than buying a brand new mp3 player? TIA

When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

Wi-fi touch mouse x7000 will not stay paired on Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

Product: HP wi-fi touch mouse x7000
Computer: HP Envy sleekbook/ultrabook 6t 1000
O/S: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Wifi type: Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth + WIDI
Error message: none when attempting to pair
I received my HP Envy 6t two days ago and have started the process of loading software and devices. In addition to ordering the PC from hp.com, I also ordered the HP Wi-fi touch mouse x7000. After booting up the PC for the first time and walking through the Windows 7 set-up, I immediately installed the wi-fi mouse.
Upon initial install of the mouse with the provided install CD, I received an error message stating that one of the drivers was not digitally signed and that the version of windows installed did not support unsigned drivers and that the installed device may not work because the driver would not be used. I continued forward with the install and the mouse seemed to be in working order. I then decided to go out to the HP support website and download the latest Windows 7 64-bit driver for the mouse I had. I then ran through the install and the mouse still continued to work. At this point I had not yet rebooted the PC.
I then performed the following steps in the listed order:
- Installed HP Photosmart 4700 series printer with provided install CD and established a connection via wi-fi
- Installed MS Office 2010 SP1
- Started download of automatically identified Windows Updates that were related to the O/S and other installed Microsoft software
- In parallel with the Windows updates download, I installed the latest release of Symantec's Anti-Virus software and updated its software and virus definitions, this all finished prior to the Windows Updates being completely downloaded. I left the default settings as is for the Symantec Anti-Virus configuration.
- The Windows Updates then installed
- Rebooted the PC
After the reboot of the PC was completed, the mouse would not pair at all. I attempted several times where I would go into the HP mouse control and select configuration and then pairing. I would follow the instructions of pressing the connect button and the screen would then say it paired, but the O/S would not recognize it and the mouse would not move. Going back into the mouse control center it then also recognized it was not paired.
I then attempted to uninstall the mouse software and it would get to the point where it was "gathering information" and it showed a full status bar yet it just hung there. I would wait for 15 minutes and then hit cancel and it would still just hang there yet again. After 15 additional minutes of canceling I would just reboot the PC for which the mouse software was still installed but the mouse continued not to pair. I tried the uninstall process 3 times, each with a PC reboot as part of the process because it would just hang.
I am not sure if the install CD installs a 32-bit version of the mouse software and drivers. If so, perhaps I confused the registration of the product by installing the 64-bit driver I downloaded from HP support. I have attempted to install both the 64-bit driver and the 32-bit driver for Windows 7 that I downloaded from HP Support online in which the execution of the installation is successful with no errors. However the pairing continues not to work and the uninstall hangs.
In addition, after the PC bounce, my HP printer was no longer being recognized. Come to find out Symantec is blocking communication of the PC to the router and thus to the printer. So I disbled Symantec and the printer now works but the mouse still does not. I even rebooted the PC after disabling Symantec and attempted to pair, with Symantec still disabled after reboot, then attempted mouse driver re-installs, mouse software uninstalls and still no luck.
So I am at the point where I cannot uninstall the mouse via conventional means and the wi-fi mouse will not pair manually or automatically.
I have not yet circled back to performing another Winows Update check to see if there are any additional updates after the intial download of the ones mentioned earlier. I will plan to do that next time I am on the PC.
Any suggestions?

Dynadock Wireless U will not stay docked...

I have many Toshiba products but am shocked by the complete lack of support for the Dynadock. I followed all troubleshooting including software reinstall but multiple calls to customer services offered no support or any further advice. Is this the best Toshiba can do? Direct people to a forum and let their own customers deal with each others defective products?
I was finally told that I can return the Dyandock (which may or may not be defective customer service has no idea) for online credit with Toshiba. Also, I have to send in my Dynadock first and then wait 7 days upon receipt for Toshiba to issue me a store credit to get another Toshiba product that they will also not support. I wish I had purchased the product at a retailer so that I could exchange it for a docking station from another manufacturer that actually services and stands by their own product.

The reason that the Dynadock is undocking is probably because the Power Management on the USB port is disconnecting when the computer goes to Sleep or Hibernates. Go to Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Right click on the USB port and change the Power Management so that the computer does not control the power going to the USB port. This should keep the Dynadock working even if the computer goes to Sleep.

ITunes will not stay minimized under Windows 7

I recently installed the full release version of Windows 7 (64-bit), along with iTunes 9 and its latest update. The issue is that, when minimized, iTunes constantly pops back up to the front, even though it is not requesting any user input. I've used iTunes 9 on the same PC when it was running Vista 64-bit and never encountered this issue, nor is any other application behaving this way under Windows 7.
Anyone else experience this? A Google search found some single posts in other forums from people experiencing the same issue, but with no responses.

Seems to have stopped - not sure why but I suspect it was getting stuck trying to find a couple of album covers after I imported my library (though there was no notice of this). Anyway, I walked through the entire library and added any missing covers and it seems to have stopped the behaviour.

Photo Stream will not stay on in Windows 7?

I have followed the directions for setting up PhotoStream on my Windows 7 PC. After I apply the change to turn Photo Stream on and close the Icloud Control Panel, the control panel is no longer available. When i click on it nothing happens.
After shuting down the computer and restarting it, the ICloud Control Panel is available but, Photo Stream is no longer on.
Very frustrating! Any ideas?

>System Preferences>iCloud...is there a check in the box for Photo Stream?

Zen Vision:M 30Gb not connected (!) and I'm becoming crazy

:Zen Vision:M 30Gb not connected (!) and I'm becoming crazyl Hi,
I tried for week to do something with the Vision 30Gigs of my son, and I don't no what to do now, maybe open the window and throw the zen..
No, seriously, he still remains in not connected and in Control Panel, system, device manager, always with the yellow sign blinking and tells that no driver is loaded.
I'm in XP SP3, removed WinMediaPlayer to install the WMP 9 because the 0 is not compatible with SP3 I think,
The zen is automatically in Recovery mode when boot, because I have tried all the possible and I have erased the firmware by "reload firmware" but without being connected to the computer,
I tried the recovery tool, but not connected...
So, I'm sure that some guru has the solution, and I'm convinced that this zen is not dead!
Thanks in advance for your precious help.

You're right the Zen is not dead. It needs a firmware to work & it doesn't need to be connected to the computer to erase it. It does however need to be connected to a computer to reload it. First you will need to install WMP0. http://www.filehippo.com/download_wi...edia_player/9/
You then need to charge the battery When its charged & turned back on you will choose Format>Cleanup. You then connect player to see that Windows can see the device. Once you can see that it is recognized in Device Manager you will Disconnect it from the computer (use rear usb ports)
You will need to download the firmware file for the player to the desktop & open the file.(do this before you connect the player again)http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+PlayersOn the player before you connect it to the computer that has the firmware file open & ready to go you will choose Reload firmware connect the player to the computer(use rear usb port) choose your language & let it run. (the autoplay window may open DO NOT CLOSE IT)
The reason it did not work before with WMP9 is that the driver is a part of WMP0.

IPhoto will not stay open on my Desk top when I click on dock icon?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me why iPhoto will not stay open, and keeps closing into "Applications" file that, incidentally IS also situated on the dock as well?
This is probably an easy answer..but, I just cannot figure it out!
Thanks!
Marilyn

and keeps closing into "Applications" file that, incidentally IS also situated on the dock as well?
Iphoto is an application and so is installed in your Applications folder. The icon on the Dock is a shortcut to the application in the Applications Folder. It's not the app, just a shortcut.
Describe what happens when you launch iphoto?

Applications will not stay in Dock when dragged there

Recently, a few apps will not stay on the Dock once dragged there from Finder>applications. It stays on the Dock for a few seconds, then disappears.
In particular, Word and Time Machine (so far).
Please help!

V.K. and Wisello
Thanks to V.K.'s advice above - and it didn't work for me.
However, after a few experiments, I discovered that you MUST uncheck the "Dock Items" box in the MobileMe preferences.
Here is exactly what I did (a revision to thew link V.K. provided above).
1. Open System Preferences and click MobileMe.
2. Click Sync
3. +*Uncheck the "Dock Items" box*+
3. Click the Advanced button-devices & apple computers to be synced will appear
4. Click Reset Sync Data.
5. Click the right arrow button so that the orange arrow "flows" from the computer icon to the MobileMe icon in the window, and the text above the icons says "On MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
6. Wait for the sync to complete. Depending on your Internet connection and on the data you are syncing, it may take several minutes. The status of your sync is indicated at the bottom of the Sync panel.
It worked!!
Thanks to both of you for your input. Great forum.
Blessings

Creative ZEN Vision:M 30gb, Can't dock it....tried everything....Help

Hello , Is there someone out there who knows alot about docking this Zen Vision:M 30GB. I have tried everything by Creative support. I've been working on it for over a month now. The player works fine but when I plug it in to my PC. Nothing happens. I have all updates and I have Windows XP pro. It seems like a driver issue. My Little Zen V has no problem docking, It docks fast , 2seconds everthing opens up nicely. ??????thanks for taking the time to read and write....Message Edited by Wasssupdutch on 03-26-200702:53 PM

Have you solved the problem? If so how? My VM has docked perfectly until I upgraded from USB to USB2. Every other USB device works fine but PC no longer sees the VM. The new hardware wizard pops up and demands a driver and isn't satified by the installation CD. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success. Anybody any clues?Thanks.

I Need Help With My Zen Vision M 30GB Player ASAP

Tonight i had started deleting of my music folders on my creative zen vision m 30gb player and as it was doing that i accidently disconnected the usb cable from the player. After that the player was froze on the docking mode and i hit the reset button with a paper clip. Then after that for some strange reason my computer does not detect my zen vision m player as being connected to the computer. the docked screen appears on my player but the arrows keep spinning and my pc keeps saying found new hardware mtp device and does nothing but repeat that over and over again. I run windows xp pro service pack 2 with windows media player installed. I really need help asap to resolve this issue and have my pc reconize it normal again where i can access my music folders and playlists again.

The core problem is related to Microsoft Windows Media . To resolve the issue, you need to uninstall MWM v from the Add/Remove Programs. Then it will rollback to MWM v9. Unplug the player from the USB port. Reinstall the supplied software from Creative if you need too. Reboot, plug the device into the USB port. Reinstall the device driver for the MP3 player. Reload the latest firmware. The file can be downloaded at
