you should be able to plug the USB cord into an Apple and have the Zen charge, exactly how it would charge on a PC.

hello,it's either a charging problem on the charging port, a charger problem or probably your battery could be faulty.i will advise you try to get someone who uses your kind of zen v mp3 player to test your charger and also your battery on the persons zen v mp3 player to help you know which of the accessories isv faulty.after you might ghave done this and you were able to locate the actual one that is faulty.i will then advise you to take it to an mp3 player specialist repairer to fix it up for you,or you can as well go to the store you got it from if they have a repair center.if you still have a warranty on it,you will be charged less for the repair since its not a factory fault.
In addition,please try as much as possible to see if the charger was well fixed to the socket or you probably try another socket in your home.
thanks,you are highly appreciated.

Hello,

Go to the Creative site for Vista software. The Zen V Plus support is available with next link:
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=213&CatName=MP3+Players&subCatID=214&subCatName=ZEN&prodID=15306&prodName=ZEN+V+Plus&bTopTwenty=1&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_15306,VARSET=CategoryID:213

When downloading with the computer having Vista, the matching software will automatically show up for that Operating System. You can scroll down on the support page for changing manually the OS. When the screen does not show Vista downloads, select and SUBMIT for selecting the required Operating System (Vista 32 or 64 bit)

For software for the computer look under Application:
click 'Show Details' for more information about the software.
Media Source Player contains the utilities for main tasks.
There are also extra programs and updates when running Vista.

As far as I know, all new 'Creative' devices sync through their own software and/or through Windows Media Player. These programs only run on Windows, so I suggest that your only option is to install windows on your mac using 'parallels' 'vmware' or 'bootcamp'.

Google each of these names if you need more information.

Short answer: As far as I'm aware 'Creative' devices won't sync with Apple OSX.

check the usb cable, usb ports, the mp3 player. or you have to install the suite of the mp3 to your pc.

use the media player of the pc.

ok some mp3 players also read wma wich is an audio cd format wat u need to do is either convert the wma,s in to mp3s or just put nothing but mp3 formatted songs

though your music reads mp3 it may not be.... confusing??? i know... so what to do?? use a good all to mp3 program to fix this problem

Any way, you have not asked a question but a statement. But I just want to say that you don't have to conclude like that, knowing full well that the company can just spend the whole of their time making it only to make something that's not good. I believe they have others, I suggest you try others (say 3 or more) of the same product and then if the same problem persists. Then you can go ahead and even publish it.

I had the same problem. I opened my zen V plus and noticed that the recording switch did not have the proper tactile feedback, which means the spring is somehow jammed and the contact blade can open or close the contact randomly. I scratched away the top half of the plastic casing (which was abnormally soft) and removed with a tweezer the tiny blade that closes the contact. I refit the whole thing back together and it works fine. Obviously the voice recording function is gone, but personally, I don't care...ht tactile feedback (spring not working properly. So I decided

maby you have to many items on it

Don't worry that doesn't mean that your mp3 player is faulty, if there is any fault it is from the charger but since the usb charges it well, just continue to use it. It doesn't mean the player is faulty, IT HAPPENS.

Can it still play music if you press play after it lights up?
Can you still connect it to a computer?

This sounds like a dead screen, which means it is time for a new player.
