I had this problem and the solution for me was while it's plugged into your computer you still have to turn it on like you were going to listen to it for the computer to recognize it


i've had 2 ipods myself and i think they blow massive chunks compared to creative zen's
lagstronaut Reviewed by lagstronaut on . Creative Zen..thing..got one? It's like an MP3 player? Welllll I haven't used mine all summer, and I go to charge it and add new music but my computer refuses to recognize it meaning it won't charge or anything. Although when I first plugged it in a small list popped up that had like "Reformat" and things like that on it. I just re-plugged it in and now nothing shows up. Has this happened to anyone else before? If so, what do you think I should do? Any advice is seriously appreciated. Rating: 5
