Do I need to have the software to charge my Zen MicroPhoto with U

I haven't got the latest firmware
is this going to damage my microphoto Do I need to get the software somehow because I'm not home...

It's very strange.
I plugged my zen and although the battery charge signal is flashing the battery isn't charging (the battery signal doesn't fill) I have it on for 4 hours and the battery status hasn't changed...
the computer recognized the device, cause I have windows xp and service pack but still it won't charge (or maybe it charges very very slowly... )
what could be wrong?
could it be that I have USB intead of 2?
or maybe is it that I don't have the software installed?

Charging a zen microphoto using mains u

hi,?my girlfriend recently got a green zen microphoto 6gb and as it just comes with the usb cable to charge i bought her a mains charger to charge it. the charger is supposed to work with ipods and all the usual usb stuff but there seems to be a problem. when the zen is plugged into it the chargers status led does not show that it is giving any charge until you actually use the player!? i.e. if you put the player to sleep and try and charge it only seems to 'trickle' charge (2 days later still only about half charged!). it seems the more power the player is using the more charge it gets... am i missing something here? does the player have a charge mode? the charger http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=330052286986?thanks in advancemark

I bought the Belkin wall charger. It came with a car charger and a USB cable. Both the wall and car charger units have a place to plug in the USB cable (so the same cable works for both). When I tried to use the USB cable that came with the player (that plugs into the PC), it didn't work with the wall charger (it had to be the Belkin USB cable). That's when I started searching this forum for what others had said. And that's when I learned that not all USB cables are created equal ... some follow the complete USB spec and others don't. Creative apparently requires a cable that does. Unfortunately, retail USB cables are not marked in a way for the consumer to know whether or not they follow the entire USB spec ... so consumers don't know until they try to plug it in. My personal opinion is that many of the people who are experiencing an unrecognized player have bought a low-end cable unknowingly ... and since the player (as an MTP device) uses Windows Media Player's drivers, it's up to Microsoft to decide what is or is not required. A USB device that is not MTP will usually work with a low-end cable ... and that's why you have to click the "Safe to Remove" icon before pulling the cable to that device out (else you risk having voltage on the wire when you unplug it).

I'm confused..how do I charge a Zen Micro without a charg

So after returning my headphone-jack defecti've Micro to the company, I decided to purchase one from Best Buy. But since those don't come with accesories, I don't get a charger. So how the heck am I supposed to charge my Micro without one? How does the battery charge? Does it charge when I'm connected to the computer? Or is it absolutely necessary to buy a separate charger? This might sound like a stupid question, but since I only had my other one for a day and it had the charger, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do when my battery dies?

When I recharge my Micro... it takes about 3 hours on the USB. It doesn't say docked, but it may, depending on what mode you were in(syncing). The blue light pulses and after 5 minutes(or whatever you have selected in the setup menu)the player shuts down. Charging continues until the blue light stops pulsing. Wait 30 more minutes after the blue light stops, because the Micro receives a trickle charge to completely top up the battery. I dont turn off my computer ever, but I do put it into "hibernate", or "stand-by" mode. The Micro continues to charge in this mode.

**********Can I charge my Zen M without Service pack 1 or higher on my computer*******

...because the downloads I'm trying don't seem to work. It's taking over 3 hours and no luck. Is it possible, help appreciated.

Hi !
I hope to calm you down with this small help... Try to connect your Vision: M on the "Removable Disk" Mode. Simply partition your player (52 MB is the minimum) and then connect your player. It should appear as a USB Mass Storage device. And by the way, you don't need to have a Genuine Windows to have SP2. It's available for download vis Windows/Microsoft Update. All you need is a SP2 key that you can some sort of changing by doing some sort of illegal stuff (if you get it)...
Hope it'll help !

Zen microphoto not charging through

I'm trying to charge my zen microphoto in a friends computer and it just won't charge. The signal is flashing the computer recognizes the device but the battery is still in /3 although there's been 6 hours since I plugged it...
note that I have a usb connection, that the computer is a laptop, I don't have the software installed, and I haven't updated the firmware...
what could be wrong?

For my Micro there is an option that you can set the player in Lock mode and then insert the usb cable to the pc which has not drivers installed to enable charging of the player. Try that out.
However, this is with an updated firmware to at least ..0 for my zen micro. Check with the microphoto firmware for more infoMessage Edited by microm3 on 08-02-2006 0:9 PM

Zen MicroPhoto Charging Quest

Question, I charge my zen microphoto with my USB cord, but when ever I plug it in, it always turns on the player on. I then shut it off, but when I come back, the player is always turned on again. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
thanks!

I think the other icon that you haven't seen yet is the icon for the battery being fully charged. It's a little plug. It seems that you MicroPhoto is completely charged since when you unplug it the battery icon is green. When it is done charging it will shut down automatically.

Issues copying more than 47 folders to Zen MicroPhoto via Media Explo

I have had my Zen MicroPhoto for a few weeks now and not had any issues with it until now. This is really strange and may be a little confusing to understand. And yes, I do have the latest Firmware version...
I have included an image to show the organization of my music. Instead of dumping all the individual tracks into the main directory, I keep them all sorted by Artist, Album, and then the Tracks themselves.
As you can see, I have 47 folders in the root "Music" folder on my Zen MicroPhoto, but if I try copying any more into the "Music" folder, it randomly places them inside any one of the folders insidethe "Music" folder. For instance: I dragged all my music I own by The Beatles onto the Zen, but it placed The Beatles' folder in Bowling For Soup's (?). At first, when the artists were no longer showing up in the main Music folder, I thought that they were just for some reason being hidden or something... but they do infact play on my Zen MicroPhoto without any trouble. Then I was looking through my folders to sort some music and there it was: "The Beatles", sitting in my "Bowling For Soup" folder.
I do have quite a bit of knowledge about Operating Systems -- and computers in general -- but this issue has really got me... anyone else experiencing this?

P.S. I have not tried reformatting my Zen yet, but I will if I can't find a solution here.

I just Formatted All and Reloaded Firmware... seems to have fixed it for now. I will update if it occurs again.

"the device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to your computer" ?

Hi I have just bought it today, and the installation went thru without any trouble. Then when I connected my mp3 player as the book says I for one cant install it (since there's no driver for it) and when I look in the 'Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer' it claims that my device is not connected even though my computer has detected it - but can't install it for some reason. Any solutions, suggestions anything?thx in advance

I'm having the same problem with my zen vision m. It worked the first time I plugged it in, but now it doesn't work. The player says it's docked, and the computer says it detects it in the taskbar, but none of the programs recognize it. I've tried WMP, Musicmatch jukebox, the media explorer, and the source organizer but nothing recognizes it. I've restarted the computer, restarted the player, clicked "refresh devices" a hundred times and it still doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

The cable carries the same warranty as the device with which it came. Bring it to Apple. If a hardware defect is noted (and not misuse) then the cable will be replaced.

Creative Zen MicroPhoto: How can I look at the Playli

Hi!
I have a small question about my new Zen MicroPhoto: While I hear music I often add new songs, lots of songs. So I can read "playing 3 of 42" or something else. How can I take a look on the songs which are following? I want to see the acti've playlist, so that I can see "Ah, three songs later there will be song "blablabla".
Is this possible somehow?
Thanks!Message Edited by san_salvador on 04-4-2006 04:4 PM

san_salvador,
When you're at the Now Playing screen, tap the scroll pad again and it should show you the list.

Do I have to use the Apple Power Adapter specifically to charge my iPod nano without using my laptop?

CAN I CHARGE MY IPOD NANO WITHOUT USING THE APPLE POWER ADAPTER? Can I use any of my many usb wall charging adapters instead?

I am using my jambox wall adapter.

I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

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

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.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookpedia/id408505152?mt=12
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!

When I try to charge the battery, my i-pad says: "charging off", how can I change this, so my i-pad will just start to charge as before, without any complications?

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
