Zen micro USB doesn't work with car ra

My zen micro can't connect to my car radio or my teac reciever chr-255. Neither can connect to the USB. It reads for a secund and then just give up. Has anyone got the same problem or even bette, has anyone solved it's?

I suspect the problem may be that your car stereo and Teac receiver are expecting a USB flash dri've type of player and not a PlaysForSure MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) player.
With USB flash dri'ves, the car stereo and the receiver are expecting what looks like a hard dri've which they can just browse and play files directly.
MTP players don't look like hard dri'ves, despite what you might have come to expect because of the Creative Media Explorer interface. CME is performing MTP operations and presenting a view that just looks like a hard dri've.
MTP is used, in part, to manage playlists and to enforce DRM (digital rights management) licenses.
I keep hoping that Microsoft, Creative, and PlaysForSure/MTP compatible players will come up with a standard for operating the player like an iPod so integration will be as seemless for non-iPod players as well.

Micro usb doesn't work!!! (no charging, no pc connecting, ecc)

Hi!My micro usb connection deosn't work on my z3 compact!If I connect the phone to charge it, nothing happens (I've already tryed to change usb cable and also to connect it to a car charger...nothing!!!)And if I try to connect the phone to my pc, it doesn't work!!! How can I solve it? I tryed a factory reset and nothing changed...Can you help me, please???

Hello,
I have almost the same with my phone. It's been 3 days and I've tried everything that came to my mind!
First, the phone (Xperia Z3 Compact) was ok, then I noticed I'm low on battery (about 3%), I tried to charge it, connected to charger via micro usb port. Nothing happened, (like it has never been attached at all!) I did it several times, tested the charger and cable on other phones, worked properly on them.then I tested with several chargers and cables, and tried to charge it with my laptop, even when connecting to the laptop (on Windows), it's like nothing even detected, nothing at all, and on the phone nothing changes (no charging, no data connection, etc.).
Then I tried to restart the OS to see if it solves the problem, but due to the battery-low situation, I couldn't boot it back on! (the battery icon kept coming on the screen). The thing is, on the state before initiating to load the OS (Only the battery icon, big(!) on the screen), it SEEMED to be charging (the charger LED turned on and connecting and disconnecting the cable made difference!). but everytime after several seconds, the SONY logo appeared, and then the smaller battery icon with a 1% text appeared, then the LED turned off and it seemed to be not charging. (I tried it several times, even with 3-vibrate resets, etc. no change)
But when I tried to load it in the Fastboot mode or Flash mode, my laptop detected it without problem. (And did some getvar commands via fastboot, no problem in that state). then I provided a magnetic charger, and charged the phone without problem with that to 100%. But still, in the Android OS, USB does not work at all, no charging via usb, no data mode, no usb detection AT ALL.
Long story short, I even tried these:
Resetting completely to factory settings,Wiping cache partition,Flashing (via flashtool) the stock ROM.
and I even flashed the phone with a third party ROM! Still no usb charging/detection! The USB only works in Flash and Fastboot mode!
What do I do?!

IPhone 4S doesn't work with car stereo

For about 2 years I've been using my iPhone 3GS connected to the USB input of my JVC car stereo. I just upgraded to the 4S and the stereo doesn't recognize the phone at all. Is this a bug of some kind?
Thanks!
Randy

To update my original post, I discovered that my 4S does work with my JVC car radio when I use the Apple USB cable that I use to sync with my PC. This happens to be the cable that came with my 3GS, but it works fine to sync the 4S. I don't know whether the short non-Apple cable I had in the car is broken, or whether something about the iPhone has changed to make it obsolete. In any case, I'm back in business!

IPhone 4S doesn't work with car adapter

My wife and I upgraded our 3GS phones to 4S. We have an aftermarket iPhone adapter in our car, I don't recall the brand, but it worked fine with our Toyota Camry sound system. We could charge our phones and play music using the factory stock CD transport controls with the adapter. When we plugged in the 3GS phones, we would get a message "This accessory is not optimized for iPhone..." but once the message was dismissed it worked fine, even with iOS5. Howwever, my 4S phone does not work with the adapter. When I plug it in it charges, but I don't get the error message and the music function does not work at all. Strangely, my wife's 4S works fine. The only difference is that hers is 16 GB and mine is 32 GB. I tried removing apps and hard re-starting, to no avail. Is it possible that the hardware connector on my phone is defective and the contacts for music playback aren't functional? Any other suggestions?

Front USB doesn't work with some devices

Hi,
I have 2 front USB ports and have wired everything correctly (not using the 10th pin). I tried my digital camera and the maxtor USB hard drive and they both work. When I try plugging the Adaptec VideOh! USB capturing device, it doesn't seem to work right. It is detected and the drivers for it installed correctly, but I can't capture any video. When I unplugged it and plugged it to any of the 4 ports on the back, it works fine. The D-bracket ports also worked ok with the device. I wired the 2 front usb ports the same way as the d-bracket (they both have the same color wirings). The front ports seemed to work ok with the other devices I mentioned, just not the Adaptec Videoh! USB device. There is a JUSB1 and a JUSB2 on the motherboard. Are both the same? I have JUSB1 for the D-bracket and JUSB2 for the front usb ports. Both are wired the same. I just wonder why the Adaptec device can work with the D-bracket and not the front USB ports even when they are connected the same way. Any suggestions?

At the cable end that plugs into the motherboard snip the jumpers between pins 7-9 and 8-10. See Wonkanoby's signature for a link to diagrams.

Zen Micro playlist synching rarely works with Sync Mana

I'm not using MTP/Play for Sure apps or firmware (I like the old directory style view in ZMME). I rarely get a clean sync of a playlist onto my Micro. I import the external playlist (usually a .m3u list made on Winamp) to Creative MediaSource, then I (try to) sync it to the Micro. MediaSource always imports the correct number of files, but during the sync process, Sync Manager never detects the full amount of files. Then, when it tries to sync, it rarely even gets the ones it did manage to detect onto the player. I often get the message that "0 files/playlists were transferred" due to some unknown error.
I've tried connecting the Micro directly to my USB card port (instead of my usual method of using the more convenient front access port or the hub ports on my monitor). That didn't help a bit.
Does it matter whether I initiate the sync from ZMME or MediaSource? I assume not since they both just kick over to Sync Mangager anyway.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
F/W: ..0
ZMME: 4.00.27
MediaSource: 3.30.2

Try transferring the playlist from MediaSource's PC Music Library to your Zen Micro manually. Do not use sync. See whether it works.
By the way, have you:<FONT face=Helv size=2>
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- (Depending on your firmware)
Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

Zen Micro CD doesn't work on Windows Vis

Hi:?I got a new computer that uses Vista. I'm trying to install the drivers and whatnot of my Zen Micro, but the CD isn't working. Is there a way I can download the drivers onto my computer without using the CD or is there a setting that I need to do in order to get my CD to work?I'd appreciate any help!

Try http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=23&y=2?
However I am not sure if the Zen Micro is supported under Windows VISTA.

Zen Sync Manager doesn't work with Windows 7

I have a Zen 6GB MP3 player, firmware version .2.03_0.03.0.
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Sync Manager (looks like version 6.4.8.0, dated 7/7/2007) worked fine with Vista, and it even worked for a few days after I upgraded, but now it does not recognize that there is a player connected.
Zen Media Explorer still works, so I can drag and drop audio files to the Zen, but this is a bit of a pain. More importantly, I need to find a way to sync organizer (Outlook) data.
I have tried running Sync Manager in various compatibility modes (Vista, XP SP3, XP SP2), but it still will not recognize the player. From something I read in another post in this forum, I'm wondering if I need to uninstall Sync Manager and reinstall it in a compatibility mode? All my other applications work fine with Win 7, so I'm not that familiar with how to use compatibility mode properly.
Thanks!

I tried every which way to solve this problem, and in the end contacted Ctreati've tech support. They advised the following:
"Please be advised that, currently, we do not have Creative Media Explorer (Sync Manager) and firmware updates available for ZEN on Windows 7 OS.
Creative is working constantly on updates for Windows 7 users who are using Creative products. These updates will be deli'vered from time to time on our website. We encourage you to often visit our support site, http://support.creative.com/ and forum page, http://forums.creative.com/ for product updates and announcements."
Frustrating; it looks like a matter of waiting ...

My iPod doesn't work with car audio (Alpine CDA 101E)

From the manual, my Alpine head unit supports iPod nano 3rd Gen (*version 1.1*).
My iPod is nano 3rd Gen but *ver 1.1.3 PC*
Please give me some suggestion to solve this problem.
Alpine CDA 101E is the product of 2008 or 2009. This iPod is 2007 product.
I think it should work together, right?
I've try another iPod with very old Generation to my Alpine, it worked!
Thank you in advance

I had the same problem when trying to dock with a Volkswagen Jetta wagon and its factory iPod dock cable.
Same problem trying both Kenwood and Pioneer dock cables in an auto-sound store.
Why would Apple mess with the multipin connector? What's the solution?

Camera connection kit (USB) doesn't work with iPhone 3Gs / Canon EOS 30D

When I plug in my iPhone 3Gs or Canon EOS30D to the camera connection kit via USB the iPad behaves strange: One time nothing happens at all. The other time "photo" starts, showing the "camera" button which disappears immediately after a few seconds. Actually I was only able to import photos when I push the connection kit against the iPad o.o ???
Does anybody has had a similar problem ?

Do you have a case on the iPad the is interfering with getting a good connection? What cable are you using: Is the battery in the camera almost fully charged and is it on the right setting? I could no find any previous discussions on your particular camera but other users have reported not being able to download from some cameras.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android phone worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work. What is apple doing to fix this.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work. Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem. What is apple doing to fix this?

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

Male to male audio cable for car doesn't work with my iphone 4s?

I have a 3.5 mm male to male cable that I have used in my car so I can listen to my music. It works fine with my iphone 3G, but it doesn't work with the new 4s. Is there a special cable I need to use with it? It's weird, because my earbuds work with either iphone, but not the audio cable. Suggestions??

I have the exact same issue with my new 4S.
I haven't find a solution yet.

MSI K7N2-L usb 2.0 doesn't work with scanjet 4570c

I have a MSI K7N2-L motherboard with WINXP and SP1 that doesn't work with Scanjet 4570C if I set USB in BIOS to 1.1+2.2. Sometimes it locked up the PC or it showed streaks on the image. It worked just fine if I set to USB 1.1. Does anyone knows this is the problem with the MSI motherboard? I'm sure it was not the Scanjet since it is USB 2.0 supported, and I'd tried another Scanjet and the problem was still the same.

If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.
besure you have only 8 wires connected no usboc
Nice topic!
But usb 2.0 DOES work with 1.3, 1.4 and 1.52 BIOSes. Only after updating to 1.5 official one of the front panel ports (not all 2) start works as 1.1

Zen Touch doesn't work with Napst

I just got a Zen Touch, thinking that it works with Napster files. AM I mistaken? When I try to transfer Napster files I get a "license missing" error. (I am a current Napster subscriber).
Help!

The pay downloads should work. The Zen Touch will have to support Napster To-Go (and you'll have to pay more per month) to transfer the things you download as a part of a premium subscription.
But again, the $.99 downloads should transfer.

IPhone 3G does not work with car integration after 2.2 update

I just upgraded my iPhone 3G with the new 2.2 software update and now it doesn't work with my car integration. Very frustrating... I have a 2009 Honda Civic that has a USB interface. Before the update I was able to charge and play music through the USB interface. In addition, I could also control the music through the stereo. After the update, it says not compatible and it doesn't even charge the phone anymore. Doesn't anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it? Street view is cool but i will definitely revert back to 2.1 if I can't fix this...

I am having the same problem here After updating to 2.2 the iPhone has stopped working in the car. The stereo just simply refuses to see it. The car in question is a brand new 2009 VW Polo Match, which I know is not as fault as tried it with a iPod nano and worked fine.
Is reinstalling the firmware only solution to this? Do we know the cause yet?
