SOURCE: My Creative Zen M won't "dock"

My zen microphoto wouldn't dock after working well. It coincided with a download of windows media player 11. I was told to download media player 11 again and to restart the computer twice. Something to do with a driver missing. I didn't think this would work - but it did! In fact two zen micros that wouldn't dock are now docking perfectly!!

SOURCE: My Creative Zen Frozen in Docked Screen

If you tried to reset it, but it did not respond at all, this indicates that the reset button is broken. You'll need to have it repaired.

SOURCE: Creative Zen is not recognized by my computer.

CREATIVE has DISCONTINUED ALL SUPPORT for the NOMAD JUKEBOX ZEN EXTRA. The software and firmware was on their website 6 months ago and they have now removed it. (software for players that are CLOSE in style will not work.)

Apparently they have decided that this first generation player is no longer viable.

My unit is barely hanging in there and after extensive research I discovered that the support materials were removed.

Time to go to an IPOD. The new Creative line sucks. It's been a WONDERFUL 5 years with this underappreciated unit.

SOURCE: Creative Zen: M Not Docking with computer!

I had the same problem. This worked for me on a Zen that is 2 years old: Go into the Control Panel on the start menu and select System. Then select Hardware and then Device Manager. You will see a list of all the devices on your pc. Now you should see your Zen about half way down the list. Highlight it and then at the top in the menu item Action select Uninstall. Windows will then uninstall your hardware. Unplug your Zen from the USB port, if you haven't already done so, and then plug it back in. Windows should then reinstall your device and you should be good to go.

My creative zen is docked to my computer, but the computer says "no player ... My creative zen is not docked but has DOCKED on the screen and won't turn off ...

Unplug your player.
Look on the left side of it, you should see a small hole, use something thin, paperclips work well, to poke inside it, the restart button is in that hole.
Once it's started up reconnect your player, all should work fine now!

When I plug it in to charge the player, it says "docked" as usual, but then it turns itself off and acts like I've disconnected it. It says "Low Battery" and shuts down.

The zen need a full charge... if you have an ac adapter plug it in for at least eight hours. if you don't have an ac adapter plug it in via USB to a DESKTOP computer (not laptop) and try to use a differnt usb cord (creative doesn't always include a powerful enough cord to get the zen out of that low power state)

refer to creative.com/support and look up info on your model to see if anyone else has your issue

My dell dock wont work...

I had the same problem. I un-installed it from the Control Panel. After a while it hung, so I cancelled it. I downloaded a new version from the Dell web-site (http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R192718&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=265024)
I tried to install it, but I got the error saying a version was already present. I then removed the DellDock directory from Program Files\Dell, ran the install program and bada-bing bada-boom, the Dock is back. It even remembered all the shortcuts I had previously docked.

My Creative Zen Frozen in Docked Screen

Hello,

The following worked for me. Go to the Creative Zen Support warranty info page of their site:

http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/MP3PlayerRecoveryTool/welcome.asp?

I ran the recovery tool with my zen connected to the computer and it changed from being in a docked state to updating firmware, after it had done this it worked fine again.

ZEN NOT DOCKING TO COMPUTER

if you are using a fromt usb port- switch to the back usb. The front ports don't always give the zen enough power. Also- look in Device Manager and see if there is a zen listed there- and if it is does it have a yellow exclamation mark? It may not be the zen that is having problems but your computer.
