Where is the Firmware for the Zen Sleek Ph

Hi,
I've been having problems with my Zen Sleek Photo ever since I bought it 2 months ago. Every so often it would freeze on boot-up, so I would have to reset it with a pin to get it to start up. This morning it started going really haywire so I decided to reload the firmware - of course, my disks are at home and when I looked on the creative site here at work, there was no sign of any firmware for the Zen Sleek Photo (it's almost like Creative don't realise this product exists!). Anyway, where can I download the latest firmware?

I think Creative should add the Sleek Photo to the player list in downloads and add the latest version there (I have version .0.0e). I ordered my player in December (for Christmas). There are a few issues that I have addressed in my "A few annoyances with Zen Sleek Photo 20GB (Request)" thread.
Sadly there has not yet been an update to fix the artist listings etc. as mentioned in my thread
I got in contact with another Creative Zen Sleek Photo user who also li'ves in Switzerland and has the same problems (tracks not been sorted correctly even with correct ID3 tags, which work in many many Windows applications).
By the way, sadly the Sleek Photo gets a load of dust under the screen too, unless you are very careful. I have been unable to remove most of the dust even using compressed air! I would rather not have to get it replaced because of this (unless Creative makes a slightly new casing model to prevent dust under screen) as I would probably end up paying rather a lot for postage (it's going indirectly through another company)
I hope there shall soon be a firmware update addressing these things,
Thanks for any response to this,

Seems to be a real issue. Here's to hoping Apple will address this issue sooner rather than later.

Firmware update for E72 has already been released..

v23.002 has been around for Asian/Middle-East models since this February.
Some operator-branded phones may not have available updates yet though.
You can use the Device Software Update page (search for the links in Nokia website) and enter your product code to find out if your product code has been included in the firmware updates already.

Zen MicroPhoto on Vista 32bit doesn't w

I have tried to hook my Zen MicroPhoto to Vista. I have no luck.
I get:
Device driver software not successfully installed.
Please consult with your device manufacturer fro assistance getting this device installed.
MTP Device Failed
Can someone please help. I have firmware version .3.0 on the Zen MicroPhoto.
Thank you
Rick

I found two posts claiming that the MicroPhoto works with Vista,here and here. Not sure they're helpful in how to make it work, but just for proof of concept. Maybe it's got something to do with WMP 0 when installing the firmware and WMP when using on Vista? Neither poster tells their firmware version or WMP version. P.S. Don't bother with that one truncated link in the last post in one of the threads above. I managed to piece it together and it's just to the Creative Downloads for the apps, not the firmware.

Unable To Repair/Update Firmware for a Creative Nomad Jukebox

Hello all,
I've been trying for the past...3 or 4 hours to get my player to work, but it simply refuses to work =P. I sent the problem into Creative, but haven't gotten a response for a couple days now. So, here's a copy-paste of what I sent in that e-mail. If you can think of anything that might help, please don't hesitate to post! I really need your help on this one!
My player's hard dri've recently died, and I received
a replacement from the original store (a CompUSA).
However, my Firmware for the device has failed. I
tried the firmware upgrade for my Zen, but after
a certain number of tries, I gave up. Here is the
list of steps that I followed.
On Zen: Click "Reload OS", let it run, it says
run the firmware upgrader now.
On Computer: "You cannot install this firmware
update with your player's current drivers using
the SB394 connector. To update your player's
firmware, this application will temporarily
replace the current drivers and restore them after
the installation is complete. Continue
installation?", I click Yes. Then it says to
disconnect, and re-connect. I do it.
It shows my version (.2.0), and I'm upgrading/
repairing it to .2.02. When I click "Upgrade", a
warning message pops up and says:
"Your player cannot start up properly. Please
reboot your player and run this application again.
I've done this at least 0 times, and nothing changes. My player is a Nomad Jukebox Zen, the one with a FireWire connection, and like I said,
I've tried this at least 0 times with the same results. Is there a process to completely remove
the firmware on the device, then reinstall it,
or to roll it back or something? Any other ideas
to fix this problem is needed as well.

Bump.

Updated firmware of Creative Zen Nano P

Questions?. Why do i need to download new updated firmware every now and then?2. WHat is the disadvantages if i don't download new updated firmware every now and then?3. What is the difference of the updated firmwares found in creative download section and the DAPJukebox website?4. Which is has the best quality firmwares, the creative download section or the DAPJukebox website?thanks?

All software regardless how good the quality control will have bugs.
Firmware is just software that is stored in the hardware on your device. New firmware is often released by a company to fix bugs or possibly add functionality that could enhance the use of a device.
But it is also possible that a new firmware update might add a new bug or two. (a rare occurance)?Sometimes (unfortunatly) new firmware upgrades can end up removing a feature.
For example it appears creative was under some legal pressure to remove the radio recording feature from there devices. On the ZVM, it was removed in one firmware upgrade, then in a later one it was replaced. On the Zen Nano Plus it was removed in the latest firmware upgrade (which is actually a bit old in calendar terms right now), but they have not released a later version that adds the recording back in. So in the case o fthe Zen Nano Plus, an firmware upgrade could be considered a bad thing.
If you require and use the radio recording functionality, then upgrading to the latest version (to fix some minor bugs) could end up crippling some of the functionality of the device. Normally when new firmware is released, there are notes detailing changes in functionality, bugs fixed, and even bugs that still exist. By looking at the information you can determine if you want/need to upgrade to the latest firmware.
Since there is some inherent risk in upgrading a firmware, most people don't upgrade firmware unless they need the new functionality or are experiencing a bug of some kind on the device that the new firmware might possibly remedy.

Is there Any alternate software available for the zen microphoto that allows me to

<SPAN class=postbody>I can only view the contents of my Zen microphoto as folders and files (i.e. it gives me a "Windows Explorer" type view of the contents) - I cannot view my Zen microphoto library in the same way as my PC Music Library (i.e. by Genre, Artist or Album) Is there Any alternate software available that allows me to see and organize my Zen microphoto library in the same way as my PC Music Library (i.e. by Genre, Artist or Album)

There is program in the App Store called Bookpedia that seems tailor-made for your situation.

Bento is another easy to use database solution.
Or GoogleDocs has a spreadsheet application, free online, although not really specific to your application.
If you really are using OS8.6, as your signature states, you may look for an old version of FileMaker on eBay.
Good Hunting!

Can't update firmware for Ipod Touch on my PC

I have a 1st gen Ipod touch & windows xp. I have the latest itunes.
It will not let me update the firmare, but I can sync fine.
To update the firmware, I give it to my husband and he can do it from his computer. Then I can sync with no problems. It's just the updating firmware that causes the ipod to crash (1602 error, but occassionally other numbers).
We thought it might have been that I didn't have USB 2 ports, so I bought a USB 2, 4 port card, and my husband helped me install it. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem and it still wont let me update. I thought perhaps because the usb 2 card came with driver disks, it might need a driver. But I checked the driver disk and it contained drivers for strange things I didn't have. Then I checked the internet and it said that with xp the drivers should be automatic with windows update, and mine is all updated, I checked.
I've checked my devices manager list, and the list only contains one "enhanced" usb port, even though the card I have has 4 ports, but maybe I am not understanding how the devices list works.
Just to clarify, have had the same problem with 2 ipod touches. My orignal one got a cracked screen (one crack so covered by warranty) and I received the replacement ipod touch yesterday, and I still could not update the firmware on my PC. My husband had to do it on his PC (vista).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I really would like to be able to update the firmware on my own PC, it's geting extremely annoying.

Because I cannot sync my music to my iPhone without updating on my PC which has all my iTunes. Where should I have posted my question to get the help I need?

How to update firmware on a Zen Mic

Hello,
i want to downgrad the firmware of my zen micro. i got a windows xp with sp2 and several updates. when i click on update i only see the time symbol and nothing happens neither on the desktop nor on my mp3 player.
i got the newest firmware with plays for sure. i tried it on a windows 2000 pc but there it is not detected.
i tried it with the recovery mode, and "erased" there the firmware, but actually it isnt erased.
how can i erase the firmware? how can i upgrade it's?

You can "downgrade", or at least go back to a v.xx PDE firmware version. The latest ..0 firmware is able to detect and downgrade from the v2.xx PFS/MTP firmware.

Reason for buying zen microphoto over ipod n

Zen Microphoto screen have 262k of colours and ipod nano have 65k</LI>
The headphone jack problem which affected zen micro did not affect zen microphoto</LI>
the sound sounds good too buy too make it sound good you must change the headphone </LI>
It is cheaper then Ipod nano for the same size</LI>

"Zen Microphoto screen have 262k of colours and ipod nano have 65k"
ok
"The headphone jack problem which affected zen micro did not affect zen microphoto"
This has to do with Ipod Nano how? Check your subject line.
"the sound sounds good too buy too make it sound good you must change the headphone "
Errr.... In order to make anything sound good, you need better headphones! All mp3 players come with cheap headphones......
"It is cheaper then Ipod nano for the same size"
They cost the same and the nano is smaller. In fact, if you count the $99 2 gig, the Nano costs less.
Please, this is a discussion forum about Creative, don't bring Ipod bashing into it. If you really want to bring up the better qualities of the Micro Photo, do it right, like this:
. Better sound, the Nano seriously sounds like crap.
2. Better screen, somewhat...
3. Bigger storage space.
4. $249 for twice as much space.
Now discuss. Just do it in a fair way and not one that bashes everyone and everything... :X
