ZEN Vision M, will not start up or charge at all.

Hello, I have tried letting the player charge (even though it doesn't show that it's charging) on my computer USB for about 4 hours now, and still nothing... I tried the restart button, nothing... I tried holding the power switch on and restart button (for restore mode), nothing.... I don't know what to do, I guess one of my other questions iso I need to have the software installed on my computer inorder to just charge the player?My computer was updated and ever since the media player has not been recognized, but I haven't had the chance to reinstall it yet.
The battery died on my player and now it has the above symptoms....Please help.

Has you ever recharged the zen by that USB port that you're trying now? You need a direct USB conection for best results.
If the Zen has runed out the battery, it may pass a long time until it starts rechargin.
When it is recharging, the blue light will blink until it gets full battery, so the light will go off.
You must get a real charger, it doesn't mind if it isn't from creative, you need a charger similar to that used for small devices... I'm using the one that came with my Bluetooth GPS, and I'm sure that there are a lot of more devices using 5 volts (more or less) for recharging.
You can also try a car-Cigarrete lighter to USB power source, to recharge in the car...
If you said that you have just updated your computer, think that it can be a problem with power saving mode of the port, that if the computer doesn't recognize a device on the port, it won't send energy... Just a thought. Try to use a Pen dri've in that port before connecting the zen, then extract it without using the "secure extracting" method (Think that if you don't write or erase a thing from the pendri've, it is safe for the data) , plug the zen and wait, you know it can wait a long time before starting the recharging.
The last: Try to get a real charger, I also use it to recharge my PDA!

Zen Vision M will not power on

My Zen Vision simply will not power on. I'm certain it is the battery as the battery life has become shorter and shorter and shorter. It will not power up at all now, in spite of attempting all the resets and other rescue/recovery options. I now li've overseas and I'm certain it would be out of warranty now. Very disappointing.

You can buy & replace the battery yourself.(they don't last forever) Video to open player http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Creative-ZEN-Vision-M-30gb-Battery-LPCS285385_W0QQitemZ400054965876QQcmdZViewItemQQpt ZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item5d25225674& _trksid=p39.c0.m4

Itunes will not start on my computer at all

I just installed itunes 7 on my computer. When I click the link on my desktop, it will not start at all. I'm really frustrated and I was wondering if anyone had any answers to my dilemna.
Thx
Gateway Windows XP

I feel your pain.
My iTunes was working perfectly until 2 days ago.
iTunes will not sign into the store - it says there's an apple id or password issue. But, I can login to this Community perfectly, with the same apple id and password, without issue, so it can't be that........
I have done fresh install of iTunes 10.6.3.25, but it doesn't make any difference. A consequence of all this is that my iPod Touch can't access it either.
I've started a ticket with Apple on it, but I strongly suspect that there's something gone AWOL within iTunes itself......

Creative zen vision:m will not turn

ok. so i got the creative zen vision:m mp3 player for Christmas and has been working just great until now. i plugged it into my charging accessory (http://creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=57&product=5050 ) yesterday and today i unplugged it and now it will not turn on. it was low on battery so i plugged it in...is that a reason for it to die
!!! i've tried the power and reset switches multiple times, as well as the combination for the maintenance menu. it still doesn't turn on. if i plug it into either the regular mp3 player to computer or mp3 player to wall power adapter all that happens is that the power led on the top blinks every few seconds. the display doesn't turn on or display that it's "charging" and when i plug it into the computer it doesn't recognize it. why isn't it working

I had same problem with my 30gb ZVM.
I had run down the battery a lot, but not to the point of the unit actually shutting itself down. So I?plugged into PC for hours;?charging icon?blinking away as usual. Thought everything OK until I disconnected and?would not turn on. The power on blue light by the switch would only flash briefly and then . . nothing. However - I then went into recovery mode - no problem - by hitting reset button as per instructions. Could see the battery icon showing no charge. Since that seemed to rejuvinate it I then exited?that mode and tried charging again. This time it took a charge and several hours later showed full battery charge. But then I made the biggest mistake ever - decided to update the firmware because of the charging problem. So I followed directions EXACTLY - downloaded new Firmware file onto PC first so it was ready to go, and then made the fatal mistake of going into Recovery mode and selecting the Update Firmware option - all as per instructions on-line and in user guide. The ZVM then immediately erased current version in player, and then said "ready for firmware update".
So I assumed - since no further instructions were given - that I had to connect unit back to PC and run the downloaded firmware file. When I did though the ZVM was no longer recognized by the software - kept telling me that no unit was connected. Unit showed in Device Manager, but not seen by WIndows Media or Creative Media Explorer. This then started the wasting of 2 days (so far) of my life trying to get firmware re-installed. Unit is now totally DOA because it has no firmware installed, and the Creative software on my PC will not update the firmware because it does not recognize a player which has no firmware installed. What were they thinking? See my post on this problem from earlier today.
From several calls into customer "service" I was told that I could have updated firmware just by running the downloaded file when the ZVM was normally connected - did not have to go into Recovery mode. That's nice to know now, and would have been critical to know 2 days ago - but why did the documentation say absolutely nothing about that? It only said this could be done through Recovery. Now I understand why so many posts about Creative are from totally frustrated users wasting their li'ves fighting with awful software and bad documentation. Great player - terrible documentation - awful software.
So my advice to you is:>?try hooking up to you PC and see if unit charges that way, instead of through charger.2> If no luck - go into Recovery mode by hitting reset button as?per?instructions. If you can get there,?select Reboot and then shut off. Hook up to charger again and see what happens.3> If still no luck - sounds like unit is still under warranty. Call Customer Service (405) 742-6622 and ask that they send UPS Call Tag to pick up unit from you to be sent back for repair. I am guessing that this player does not like to have the battery heavily discharged, somehow related?to?asoftware issue as well (surprise surpirse).
Will probably be fixed in future firmware update. Good Luck

Firefox will not start and I already tried ALL the suggestions.

Hi, Firefox is my favorite browser that I've been using for years and all of a sudden it won't start. I've already tried the following and it will not open at all, ever.
I'm on windows 7 and have never had a problem before.
1. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper.
2. Tried Safe mode.
3. I uninstalled, deleted the program files, restarted computer, reinstalled.
4. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper again and tried with fresh install.
5. I tried the Run dialog box, type in: firefox.exe (Profile manager window didn't open, nothing happens)
I also tried "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
AND "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" and nothing happened.
In between each try, I END PROCESS in my task manager. Even though a window never actually opens for any of these steps.
I'm at a loss and really need and would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Jon

That didn't work either, but after everything, it turned out to be a recent adoble flash update. I uninstalled flash and now it works. I do need flash player though, so hopefully it works next time I reinstall... I will probably try it over the weekend and let you know.
Thanks for the help!

Firefox 4 and 5 load fine but will not start. I have done all the things it says in help including removing the firfox items in the Proceses tab but it still will not run.

I had firefox 4 which worked fine and I downloadd 5 now neither will run and I have done the things it says in help

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

MacBook Pro will not start. No response at all.

Im asking this on behalf of my sister. She had a hard week (imac Video card/ HDD died). She resorted to use her Macbook Pro while her iMac was at apple being repaired.
Long story short, she got upset and hit the keyboard with her fist. She said her computer immediatly shut down, and when trying to boot it, nothing happens. No response from anything, no led, no hdd noise, nothing. Figuring the the thing is 4 years old, and out of warrenty, i figured id take a peak inside. Upon oepning it, i found the keyboard plug loose. Connected it, and put it back together enough to try and boot it. Still not so much as a peep.
What would be a likely suspect at this point, what sits just below the keyboard that would cause this. Its a long shot, but i figured id ask.Thank for any help.

She damaged it, possibly injuring the motherboard, unseating the HDD interface, ...
I am trying to write sympathetically, but the Genius Bar needs to examine it and give you an estimate.

Mac book pro will not start up. Charging light is on, but no response from computer. What happened?

The Mac Book Pro was fine, and then just stopped working. I connect the power source, and the light is on as if it is charging. However, when I try to turn the laptop on, nothing happens. There is no response whatsoever. Any ideas what happened and what I need to do?

Examine this support article for possible solutions:

If no success, a trip to an Apple store genius bar is the best recourse.
Ciao.

My MacBook Pro will not start without the charger plugged in despite saying not charging and with a green light!

I have done a system report that says that my battery is normal. What should i do next? Thank you!

LEH65,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

Will not start up or charge

I cannot boot my 12" powerbook OR charge the battery. The battery life was quickly failing and then the computer suddenly shut off while it was plugged in. Have I lost everything?! What do I do?!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Can you add some more details, ie, is the ring around the power adapter line at the computer orange or green or nothing? When you try to boot your system, what happens ... messages, what's displayed on the screen, etc.
Do you have your OS X disks that came with the system?

I phone 6 will not start after overnight charge.

Plugged my I phone 6 into AC charge and powered down for the night. This morning after disconnecting from charger came up with very large size text and number keyboard. I cannot log my code into phone because the numbers are two large to fit the screen. Please tell me if others have had this problem and how they fixed it.

Tap on the screen with three fingers
Then you may want to go into settings - general - accessibility - change or turn off zoom settings

My iPod Touch 3rd Generation will not turn on or charge at all. It won't even restore or register that it is plugged in. Please help!

Before this happened, it kept on pressing buttons by itself and i couldn't do anything. I restored it and it still didn't work, so I tried again, and after 5 more restores, it still wouldn't work, Then the battery drained from full to dead in literally about five seconds. Now, it won't charge or turn on. My computer doesn't even say it is plugged in anymore. I've tried 3 different cords, both in a wall outlet and my computer, and it still won't work. Help!

Well there is one thing you can try... hold down the home button and lock/sleep button at the same time and don't forget to hold it. It should turn on. (By the way what you are doing is a restart, if you were on your iPod Touch on the home screen and you did thins it would reboot, and that is exactly why you are doing this)

Windows will not start on my NB100

I think my nb100 has become infected with a virus. It was doing some strange virus scan and I could get it to do nothing else. I turned it off and now Windows will not start. I have tried all the option; safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but nothing works. I cannot run the product recovery disk because this netbook does not have a cd drive. Can anyone help?

Power mac g5 will not start

please help me !power mac g5 a1047 will not start!

A1047 refered to all PowerMac G5 towers, as this page explains. What you need is the EMC#. That will tell you if you have a liquid cooling G5 tower, and if you do, that's another reason many fail to start because the coolent can leak.

ZEN Vision M, will not start up or charge at all.
