Bug in contacts? (Zen Mic

Hi!
I was looking for a way to save some lyrics in my Zen Micro, and I thought that would be a good idea to save them in the "Notes" area of the contact. You know, Start > Run > wab.exe, create a new contact, and in the "Other" tab, you write whatever you want in the "Notes" box. Then you can sync the contacts with Creative MediaSource.
But (there's always a but) the Zen Micro does something wrong, and from a point of the lyrics it shows lots of "\n", characters that look like boxes, and some other rubbish.
For example, I tried to copy the lyrics of "Vertigo", that song of U2 ( http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/u2/vertigo.html ) but from "But you give me something" it shows those strange characters. Could somebody else confirm this? Could this be a bug?
I know that using Contacts to store lyrics is a bit weird, but what do you want? I can't store text notes directly in my Zen Micro! ... *hint* *hint* Creative? Are you there?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I'm editing to correct someting. For synchronising the Zen Micro I use the option "Sync music and Outlook data between PC and the device" (or something like that, it's in Spanish) in the Zen Micro Media Explorer. I guess it's the same.Message Edited by melado on 02-06-2005 :53 PM

Following your advices (thanks!), I wrote some text in the "Other" box of a contact, but the same thing happened. The text appears correctly until a part, after there it appears with \ and strange things, and it doesn't appear complete.
Maybe I could try with "Tasks"... but I don't have Outlook
Any idea?
Btw, I have seen that program in the forums of Nomadness.net, but I don't think it's a solution.

Do I need to re-install the sotware after getting a replacement ZEN Mic

I bought a Zen Micro 3 weeks ago and I have already experienced some probelms...
A couple of times the player couldn't shut down and I had to remove the battery and put it back. A couple of nights ago I thought I disconnected the player before falling asleep.... However, the player tried to shut down during the whole night!!. The following morning I got a 'Hardware Problem' message. Since then it is not working.
My computer does not recognise the player any more, and when I touch some buttons I get 'hissy' noises. I contacted the online retailer and they are sending a replacement, hence my question:
Do I need to re-install the software, therefore wiping out all 300 tracks, or Can I just plug the new player to my computer and transfer the songs from the Creative Organiser Music Library to the new Micro?
Sorry if this message is too long, but I don't know if some people have experienced the same problems. I guess the moral of the story is don't fall asleep until you are sure that the player is off....

Nope, no need to reinstall the software.

Earphone Trouble - Zen Mic

<div align="center">[size="3" color="#993399">I had a Zen Micro last year, the earphones broke and I tried to use some others, they made the sound very echoey and impossible to listen too. I was constantly having to turn them round to try and get some clear sound.<div align="center">[size="3" color="#993399">That Zen got stolen last year.<div align="center">[size="3" color="#993399">?<div align="center">[size="3" color="#993399">Finally, as a present for my birthday, I got a new one in July.

So I purchased a fairly expensi've pair of Sony earphones. They worked for a few hours then the next time I used it, the same thing again.<div align="center">[size="3" color="#993399">?<div align="center">[size="3" color="#993399">This has really upset me as I LOVE my Zen.

it sounds like you all have a broken headphone jack socket. it would certainly seem so if other headphones don't work. this is caused by soldering on the socket being broken. creative will repai it for you. in the uk you have year parts and labour warranty, but in the usa you have year parts warranty but only 30 days labour (I'm not entirely sure, i am in UK). you will need to contact support to get a relacement or repair. if you can return it to the shop, try that first

Suggestion for new mp3 player (had a creative zen mic

Well time for me to get a new mp3 player. Because Creative wasn't very good at honouring my warranty (four players didn't work properly and they wouldn't replace the fourth) I am reluctant to get another creative. But if you guys tell me they have come along way AND I can use my previous charger with a new player, then I'll consider it.Suggestions?

i have the zen v plus and i am quite happy with it, i just updated to the latest firmware, it charges by plugging into your computer USB (cable provided) its a budget nano competitor that has great user interface and i personally thing the design is really cool and it plays videos, but im trying to get creative to include compression video support in future firmware cause the video it supports is like 4 MB to 8 seconds of video :| the sound quality is pretty good, but then again i dont know your standards it has an inbuilt FM receiver and line in/mic recording
im really happy with it.

Bug for contact's "Edit Birthday"

I noticed that there is a software bug for the "Edit Birthday" Section in the Contact. If the date is to be set at year 1982 and January, there is no way you can change it to any other day other then the 1st. Am I the only one encountering this problem?
Or I am not alone?
Is there anyway to make known of this issue to Apple to rectify this issue?

Contact info is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. Since you have a Mac, this can be with the Address Book application which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you haven't synced with the Address Book on your Mac and you haven't used it for contact info on your Mac - it is empty, before syncing contact info enter one contact in the Address Book - make one up if needed which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info, which you want to select.
You can include a backup of your Address Book data on your Mac with the backup of all other important data on your Mac stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
Although contact info available on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup, it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for this because your iPhone's backup includes other data, and your current situation is another reason.

Creative Zen Mic

Hello!
I have had a Zen since february, and it developed a problem with the headphopne jack. I then retured the zen to amazon and got a replacement.
I have recieved the replacement, and now i am having some problems! When i try to "audiosync" the zen, it seems to take a long time, and then when it is finished, there is nothing transfered. I then unplug the zen and it freezes on the creative page, and then freezes on the "rebuilding libary" page on the zen aswell!
This has happened quite a few times now, and i have reformatted the zen as many times as this has froze! and NOW aparently the zen is froze on the format function!
I am using windows XP, and tryin to use the creative media source!
HELP!

If Rescue Mode functions aren't working the player is faulty unfortunately. You need to contact Creative Support.

Can I transfer Music from One Zen Micro to another Zen Mic

Hello,
I've had my Zen Micro (Green) for 3 weeks now and now my girlfriend wants one a Zen Micro too, which she'll get in the next few days. I was wondering if there's any way to transfer mp3s from my Zen Micro to hers?
I was thinking if I plugged 2 Zen Micros into my PC and then load up the Nm=oman Player and just drag the songs from one Zen Micro to another......will that work. Or is it best to just drat the songs onto the PC and then transfer them onto my Girlfriend's Zen?

I would imagine you can do that .... although you may need the latest firmware 2.xxxxx which would mean you have to use WMP 0 ...
I should wait until she gets hers then plug it into your PC and see if it recognises it .... if it does you have no worries .. if not post again and everyone will do there best to help out

Is there a known bug with the zen vision;m and usb internet adapt

i bought the zen m yesterday. i've down loaded it onto my pc.
audible wont sync to it. the creative firmware updater wont update it keeps saying its not connected.
Windows media player synced to it ( the only thing thats gone right so far lol )
and worst of all every time i plug in the unit via usb. if i unplug the unit my netgear usb WPNT2 stops recieving all 802. signals until the driver explodes taking the system down with it. or i manual reboot.
whats going on?
i'm thinking i should have gotten a Zune, and if i can't resolve this i'm going to have to take this back.
i put the zen on my laptop and xbox 360 and it works fine. it runs a pcmcia adaptor.
my desktop is a media center rollup 2 everything up todate. my netgear drivers are uptodate. i dont know whats going on here.Message Edited by paladin238 on 2-02-200604:24 PM

it's not connected on a hub.
update audible still can't activate the zen, and it still keeps crashing the wireless adaptor, which inturns causes a stop error and crashes the system. i can't win =/

A few questions regarding the Zen Mic

. Should I take off the sticker in front of the Zen Micro's buttons and screen that it came with?
2. Why can't I listen to the radio while browsing the menu items?
3. There's this radio station: B00 who's # is 99.7 But whenever I go to this other station 96.5 it's all staticky and its playing B00 in the background even though that station is called Mix 96.5

. Yes, it makes it hard to use otherwise. I cut the protector in half and left the other half over the screen.
2. This is the way the firmware is designed.
3. Sounds like bad reception.

How to downgrade firmware? (Zen Mic

Im a owner of a Zen Micro 6GB, V2.x... For some reason I have the same problem like all the other ME user and trying to downgrade my firmware. When ever I try to downgrade the following message stop me from downgrading "You player is not connected. Please connect your player"Could someone help me with this? Or tell me how come Window XP pro does not reconnize V2.x?
Please help.

Hold down the option key.. when you select the different firmware.. it will then offer all that are available..
The very latest TC will not allow you to downgrade beyond 7.6.0 for some reason.. although the first of the Gen4 were sold with 7.5.2 if it didn't come with that level firmware it might not be able to go back to it.
Have you totally isolated the TC from the network.. reset it.. does the disk still spin up and down.. if so return for warranty exchange.. it is faulty. Otherwise start plugging in computers.. or connecting by wireless. give it a new wireless name.. add devices one by one until you find which is causing constant disk access. You might need to then do a reinstall to rid that device of the issue that is affecting the TC.

Someone please help me to find a USA to US power adaptor for the Zen Mic

Help ! I recently received a 40th birthday present zen micro from a relati've in New York, however the plug is the USA 'two flat pin type'. I have detached it from the power supply to find two smaller pins underneath so please someone tell me where I can buy the UK version of this 'plug top' from. Standard US to UK travel adaptors don't work as the collar diameter on them is too small meaning that the Zen's power supply won't fit ! I am desperate to try my new Zen out but I'm stuck ! Many thanks for any help.
Martin.

Thanks to everyone for the ti
ps.
I've gone for the cheapy uk shaver adaptor and it works fine. My zen didnt need any firmware updates but bizarrly the spare battery took nearly fi've hours to fully charge against the first which was just under three !
Lastly, does anyone know if the warranty is valid in the UK (ie Global) seeing as my zen came from the US.
Thanks again to all.

Accessories for Zen Mic

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I'm wondering what is taking so long for a decent array of accessories to show up for the Zen Micro. Is there a Micro-specific FM transmitter? Armband Carrying case? Cassette adapter? Jogging-friendly earphones (the ones that come with it are great for everything but jogging). I'd rather get accessories that aren't generic, but I'd also like them soon, so if anybody can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

No to all of the above. There are a lot of accessories compatable with the zen micro, but none made specificly for it. Creative E-mailed me that there may be new zen micro accessories this month. It's just a matter of time.
In the future, if you know that these questions have been asked, look for the thread that already has these questions.

New Features for the Zen Mic

So I have been buzzing around this board for the last week or so, reading up on my new Micro. And now that I have figured everything out and gotten the player to work with WMP0 properly (knock on wood) there are a few things that I would suggest to the developers for future versions of the firmware that I have not even seen mentiond. First off, I would like to see the ability to rate my music, I know that this is probably not the most commonly sought after, or even useful feature, but I like to have all my music rated, and the ability to do it right on the player would be nice. The other thing, witch I think of as more of a bug then a new feature, is that the second a song starts to play it adds one to the play count. I think that the play count needs to be updated AFTER the song has finished playing or, if possible, it would be best sometime in the middle of the song. As it is now, if I *accidently* play a song, the play count goes up, even though I stop playback or change the song only a few seconds into it. Another thing that I would like to see improved is the creation of playlists on the device. I know you can save the "Now Playing" list as a playlist, but you can't reorganize the list. I would also like to see some of the other more asked for features, EAX would be nice for instance. I Don't know, just my two cents.

Sounds like something went south in the OS or actual mp3 decoder in the player. I might try a Clean Up in Resuce mode then maybe a Reload OS. You can get into rescue mode by turning off the player and taking out the battery. Push the power switch in the on position and keep it held over while you re-insert the battery. It should boot into Rescue mode. Try a Clean Up. It should display a status % complete and only take a few moments. Try the songs again and see if there's the same problem.
If that doesn't work download firmware v.0.03 and select Reload Firmware via USB.
If either of these things don't work and the source files are clean it might be a bigger problem that might require a replacement.
