Zen xtra- problems with the wh

I have a 40gb zen xtra. The wheel has always given me a bit of a problem but moreso recently. Often when I click it to select an artist (or anything, it happens randomly, but frequently) it doesnt perform that function but instead pauses the song thats currently playing. If I press it enough times, eventually it will work, sometimes it changes the song if i press it too many times. This has happened for a long time but now is happening more frequently.
Also, and this just started happening, never has before, when i try to scroll up or down by holding it, it will stop and I'll have to release it and push it back up or down in order to continue.
Anyone else have these problems and is there a solution?Message Edited by Wolfe on 02-07-200706:2 PM

Zen Xtra problem with latest firmw

Hi everyone. I've tried searching for this but I can't find the answer.
I've recently upgraded my Zen Xtra 60gb to the latest firmware on the Creative Labs downloads page (2.0.03). Re-copied all my music back onto it and some of the albums which were fine before now play out of order.
All my music is correctly tagged with track number information and when I view the files using the new Zen Explorer addin the tracks are all present with the track number prefixed by the filename. But on some albums when I right click and choose properties there is no track number stored.
How can I fix this? Is it the way I transfered my music onto the player (I just copied the folders using explorer to the 'My Music' folder on the Zen)? Or is this a 'feature' designed to get me to change my mp3 player?

I'm not sure why some files lost thier tag info. But I'll tell you this, adding tag information through Media Scource does not wirte to the actual file.
And when you export files from Media Source, you have configure it a certain way to add the tag info to the files while its exporting.
Zen Explorer may be the sameway, so check that.
Theres a program called Tag&Rename, it can correctly Tag mp3 in batch. I think the free version is like a 4 or 30 trial but it should be long enough just to get your job done.

Zen Xtra problem with MUSICMATCH

Hey everyone!
Just got a Zen Xtra 40g and it seems to be great EXCEPT I can not get it to work with my Musicmatch. When I plug it in and start my MMJB it seems to be working but when I try to transfer songs or "snyc" my library it says "Device reported an error" Anyone else have this problem? The software that is provided ( Mediasource) with the player SUCKS! Doesnt work at all....any help?

Try updating your Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) from Microsoft website. The filename name is MDAC_TYP.EXE.
If the difficulty persists, you can uninstall MediaSource via Add/Remove Programs Wizard in Control Panel, delete the MediaSource folder in C:\Program Files\Creative.
After which, download the latest MediaSource for your Jukebox from www.nomadworld.com.
Here is what you will need to do to update your Jukebox:
) Go to www.nomadworld.com and select downloads and drivers.
2) From the next page select "Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra" and your version of Windows
3) On the next page you will need to download three files:
) Creative NOMAD? Jukebox Driver Update version .23.00
2) Creative MediaSource Software Update version 2.03.29
3) NOMAD Jukebox Pack (version .0.8) for Creative MediaSource
4) Install the driver first, after which, connect the player to the computer.
5) After the driver had successfully been installed, install the MediaSource application follow by the Nomad Jukebox Pack.

Zen Xtra -- Problems with downloading mu

Hi!
i'm having problems with loading audio files into the player
My audio files are on Real Player, and i used the "sniffer" to find them. No problem.
They are in the order that i want them to be in, when i burn a cd (or, in this case, when i load 'em into the player).
I highlited 'em, then clicked the Transport. The problem is that they don't appear on the right-hand side in the same order; they're in reverse or random order!
How can i keep the original order? Also, how can i create a playlist containing the tracks?
Is there any way that i can "re-order" the items?
Thank you, Norm2-22-200509:29 PM

Problems with the Zen Vision:M 6

I'm experiencing a lot hangs and lockups with my Zen Vision:M 60GB,
the newest firmware that is viable for the Zen Vision:M 60GB already
on my Zen Vision:M 60GB, firmware version .2.02e, sometimes the
clean up in the service mode works fine, had also a situation
that everything went so bad that it lockedup when I turned my Zen on,
had then to refresh the firmware and lost all my music on its hard dri've,
costed me hours to get everything back on it.
Please, Creative do something about these lockups bring new firmware out
that solves these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please start supporting the Zen Vision:M 60GB again.

I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.

PROBLEMS with the zen sto

so the first problem with my zen stone i found was that no matter how much music i had on it, it would only play certain songs. for example, if i have 200 songs on it, it only plays abou 30 of them over and over....i tried using the online manual but that was NO HELP, it makes no sense when it tries to describe how to organize music/folders.
now i have another problem...my stone WONT PLAY MUSIC. i open the folder and click and drag files from itunes(like i did before) into the folder, and it loads them. as soon as i disconnect my player and hold down the play button to play, it blinks 3 times and nothing happens, and everytime i hit play after that it does the same thing..
please helP!

Creative ZEN MX problems with charging battery

/Creative ZEN MX problems with charging batteryHi!
I've bought Creative Zen MX player a couple months ago. First thing I noticed when I plug in it into my computer was that battery after 3 hours was not full, what is more computer disconnected with it couple times;/
After weeks or two when I tried to charge it i Went where I bought it and they said after some examination that it really didn't work
They've sent it to the service. I had t wait for the return two months!!! and at the end they said that that tiny usb wire was damaged not mp3.
OK . The battery was fully charged maybe on 5 attempts ;/
There is no problem in my computer because I tried it on several other and it did not work ;/ ?Please, help me
Where is the problem?
?Why this player simply disconnect with my PC?

I was given this as a gift. I charged it for 8hrs when i got it and it showed fully charged. I have been trying to give it a full charge over the last 2 days once on a power adapter plugged into the wall the other through the USB port on my laptop .each for about 8hrs each. Using different cables. I remove the player and it shows full battery (never gives the plug icon though)and within 30 minutes of play music, I get the low battery warning. it was purchased on 0/6/200. nAlso it will not power on while charging.My original ZEN was able to play music when charging this one says DOCKED and will not repond to the power button being presses.

Zen Micro frozen with the word the "Creative" stuck on the scr

Yesterday, whil listening to music, my Zen froze up (understand, I just bought this a week ago). So. I tried to shut it off. Nothing. So. I took the battery out. When I put it back in, the word "Creative" stays stuck on my screen. I've tried taking the battery back out, putting it back in. Still the same thing. So. I tried hocking it back up to my computer. It doesn't even acknowledge the device. Nothing is working. What should I do?
Brenda

Brenda,
Can you try getting the player into Recovery Mode? If it can't do that either, it's possible there is a hardware problem with the player (contact Customer Support for assistance). If you can get into Recovery Mode, try the Clean Up first.

HELP! having problems with the organizer of mediasourc

hi, i am currently having problems with the organiser view of the mediasource 5. the player view is ok. the explore panel keeps blinking and after a while the mediasource auto closes. this has not happened before during the past weeks. also, another weird thing is that previously when it didn't work, a microsoft error appeared. now it just closes without any message. hope you can help, thanks!
oh yar, anyway, whats the email adress of the email support?

What were you doing with the software when the problem occur? A detail step by step description of what you have done is useful.
i was playing music? haha...
first i opened the mediasource(organiser view), then, the explorer panel started blinking like mad... then teh thing auto closes, or a window pops up telling me that there is an error( the usual microsoft error...) then when i click don't send, the mediasource closes...
Did you connect any Zen MP3 player when the problem occur?
sometimes i did, sometimes i didn't. incidentally, do you have to connect an mp3 player to use mediasource?
What is the exact version of your MediaSource 5?
wait lemme check... 5.00.20
What is your operating system? What is the language of your operating system?
my operating system is windows XP, and the language is english.
hope my info has been useful...

Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
2) Select "Properties"
3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually is doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

Zen Micro Problems with Shutting Do

My current problem with the Zen Micro.. all of a sudden i have difficulty shutting it down. Usually when we turn off the ZM, it will take a couple of seconds to shut down. But since Sunday, i was unable to shut down the ZM successfully. It seems to have hanged at the "shutting down" image and that's about it. the lights are on. the ZM is not shutting down. so i have to take out the battery instead to shut it down. I wonder what's the problem with the ZM? or does anyone have faced or is facing the same problem too?
Previously the problem with the Zen Micro i bought was with the hard disk, which i think alot of early buyers had the same problem. Coz i remember queueing for ages.. at the Creative Service Centre to get the Zen Micro changed for a new one. Apparently the batch that i bought my zen micro was faulty... =((
Hope to get some help!
Thanks!
Ange.

I had exactly the same problem... fixed it by doing the following
Remove the battery, hold the power switch in the on position and re-insert the battery.
The recovery menu should appear, select disk cleanup from this. When thats finished select reboot.
I can't take any credit for this, copied it from someone else in the forum!

Creative zen xtra problem, does anyone know what to do

My 40gb zen xtra freezes at the Eax screen and when in recovery mode, if I go to format or reload os it just comes up with a hard disc error... (no warranty). I have no idea what to do, can i replace something... or anything? thanks~

You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net at your OWN RISK. If you don't want to try this or are under warranty then contact Creative Support.
If you aren't under warranty you can contact Creative Support to see if they will repair it. If you want to try repairing it yourself, taking the risk the hard disk is at fault, then you can follow Rudi Cheow's excellent guide. There's also a thread here at the Zen Nomadness.net forum on compatible dri'ves, and the last page of Rudi's guide also has information on this.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
