Creative Zen Micro Software Iss

I've had my Creative Zen Micro for almost a year now, and I installed the software on my computer. But a couple weeks ago, my family bought a new computer. I've lost the cd to install the zen organizer and I was wondering what I could do?
Am I out of luck? Or is there software I can download to get it on the new computer.
You can send comments to [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thanks so much.

Problem with Creative Zen Micro software detecting certain C

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I recently purchased a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player. So far, I have very few complaints, apart from the fact that while travelling on the bus, it won't seem to detect any radio stations.
The problem re: the software though is that it will only detect the last track on three of my CD's. None of these CD's are damaged in any way, but all are from the same record label. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how I might be able to transfer these albums onto my player?
Thanks a lot.

My zen micro problem:

As long asI put the battery in it, it automaticly turn on and show "hardwareproblem" and freezed. My computer still can not find it.

Creative zen micro software d

Thanks.

Creative Zen Micro Quest

I have a white 5 gig Zen Micro and i love it but...............can someone please tell me how you synch up with Microsoft Outlook.... so that i can use the calender, contacts, and to-do-list features...........also, i've tried going throught the zen micro media explorer but it always tells me the device is connected, although it is, why does this happen and does it have anything to do with me using the latest firmaware (Creative Zen Micro *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00.2 )...........help is appreciated.
Thank you.

big_d5,
If you had update the MTP firmware for the player, you will also need to update the Zen Micro Media Explorer to support the MTP version. Go to the driver page and look for this Zen Micro Media Explorer .00. for Creative Zen Micro (Software Update Package for Zen Micro Players with *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware).

Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

<EM>If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!</EM>I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
My Specifications:
My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

Zen Micro software request

I've lost the original install disc for a regular 4 Gb Micro and can't find the needed dowload on the Creative site. I searched the forum and the once hosted links are no longer there. Anyone have this? I can't add any music or playlists without it. Thx.

Re: Zen Micro software requestFWell lucky you The one thing you will need to do with the XP computer is to rollback WMP to WMP0. Instructions for that are?here? after you have done that download to your desktop this here? firmware & install it to the Micro be sure that the players battery has been fully charged before you you update the firmware. Also the update will erase all music files from the player so back them up on the XP computer if you don't have copies of them. You will then be able to use your Micro on the Vista computer with just WMP no additional software needed.

Creative Zen Micro AND using M

Hi,
I'm a pc user at home and I am considering purchasing a Creative Zen Micro mp3 player.
I was wondering, am I able to put data files onto the mp3 player, then access them at Uni'versity where I use a Mac computer. I heard this was a Windows only product.
I want to easily plug in the USB cable to the Mac computers at Uni then access them easily without having to install any extra software so its able to read it (i.e. Plug N Play)
Thanks

thanks for the info,
BUT
what i really wanna know for 00% sure is that I can plug in my Creative Zen Micro mp3 player into a Mac WITHOUT installing ANY software and that the Mac will read the device for Data NOT music, since I only need the mac to read it so I can transfer data files from home to uni'versity
plz let me know, thanks!

Creative Zen Micro Photo Problem (Detecti

BEFORE I CONTINUE, REFERRING TO THE KNOWLEDGE BASE DOES NOT WORK FOR ME, I TRIED THE STEPS BUT THEY SIMPLY DON'T WORK.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED MY ZEN MICRO PHOTO BLACK 8GB in the mail, and was able to get the charging started through my computer after installing the required software (mediasource, media player, wmp 9.5 codec, etc). Before I started the charging, I connected my player's USB cable to the back of my pc. Windows XP w/SP2 prompts that it 'found new hardware.' I go ahead and check in my computer if the player would be able to be accessed. I also confirmed with Creative's mediasource software, and it claims that 'no player was detected.' I did the same in windows media player 0, and says that no hardware was detected. I confirmed to make sure that the USB cable was properly connected, and it was. I tried all the ports and tried other devices through them, and they were able to be successfully detected and used, (i.e; web cam). I don't understand why my creative zen micro photo would not be detected by the software included. Windows is requiring me to install some sought of driver for the player, but I already installed all the required utilities and codecs. I believe it is charging and is detected by windows but not as a removable storage, etc, just 'FOUND NEW HARDWARE', and then no drivers found even through the CD creative provided me. I am also fearing that the battery is taking a long time to charge. This morning I saw that the player was on, but was still charging(I assume). I decided to charge while the player was turned off. Hopefully, now it will be fully charged while the player remains off. I will check when I get home. In the mean time, would some one please assist and respond to me for resolving this situation ASAP for the detection of the player. Thank you very much, Arjun (please do not further me to the knowledge base site as I have already tried all the steps, and no improvement what so what in successfully operating this player. Thank you. Just to add on, I also attempted for a firmware update, and the utility said it was not able to detect the player either, so I wasn't able to even complete a firmware update. Please assist me, URGENT. Thank you.

I sadly am very unhappy with the ZEN Microphoto 8. I was planning on leaving on a trip in the morning and found that suddenly my laptop no longer will recognize my device. I hasve been using the device for several months now with no problems at all, unitl this afternoon. It went into recovery mode and no matter what I tried I could not get it out.
I was finally able to unlock the unit by connecting the unit to my desktop. I was then able to install the firmware update. But now the unit will not work on my laptop at all. All of my media is on my laptop. I have tried several cables to no avail. I am sure that someone is going to mention the suggestion that the device not be used on a laptop, however I find it frustrating that after so much time the unit suddenly does not operate. I tried all of the suggestions in the support section. And it seems truly sad that this might just be due to the cinnection to athe laptop, considering the number of people that now use these as their primary PCs.
If any suggestions can be provided as to the cause of this problem I would love to get it fixed.

Creative Zen Micro 5GB: Freezing on transfers & during playback (Please He

Ok, Here is a problem I am having.
My Zen is freezing no matter what program i use to place music on it.
The transfer will begin and rarely get or 2 songs on but more often it will reach about 30% on the first song, freeze and remain here till i unplug it and go into recovery mode by taking the battery out.
THINGS I HAVE TRIED:
*Changing the firmware (at least 0 times for each firmware available on this site)
*Formatting & Defragging (Don't even get me started how many times)
*Using different software (WMP0, Creative Sync and Every other one included with Creative Zen Micro Explorer)
*Upgrading software
Now i am a qualified electronic repairer and i have dismantled my zen and a friends (whom dropped it and bought a new one) i have from here changed the hard dri've thinking this may be the source of the problem (yes i am aware the warranty is void now but when i placed the battery in the first time i got it the sticker broke) This has done nothing so i have placed the original HD back in.
I have NO idea what to do now!
I can not afford a new mp3 player, have no warranty YET i do have the ability to repair this by myself.
If anyone has ANY suggestions whatsoever i am willing to try them, of course still sensible.
Please PLEASE PLEASE! help me out. i will be gratefully for any help i can get.

/being venting
Why does Creative make it so easy to Reload the firmware, and why do soo many people choose this option!?!?!?
/end venting
pdk, your task now is to get your computer to recognize your player. I have a feeling that you are using a v2 firmware. Do you see the words MTP Device anywhere when you connect the player to your computer? If so then follow the steps listed <a href='http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=8&categories =Nomad+Jukebox+Zen#228' target=_blank>here[/url]. Then use the firmware provided on your CD and see if it can recognize your player. You might have problems since you choose the Reload firmare option in Recovery Mode.

From ipod or itunes to creative zen micro f

dear friends
i have bought a new creative zen micro photo mp3 player.
until i used a ipod mini with the software itunes.
now i want to pose the following queation
is it possible, to get all the mp3's, which i have in my itunes library, to my new zen micro mp3-player?

. If you have ripped the songs yourself in AAC-format: get the LAME-plugin for iTunes and rerip the music files in 92 or 256 MP3. Then you can just drag and drop the files from your iTunes Music-folder on to your player (if you have the new firmware installed?). Throw away your AAc-music files - you no longer need them.
2. If you bought music in the iTunes Music Store: you create (maximum) 80 minutes long playlists and then burn them on to CD-Rs. Rip the CDs and proceed as above.
3. If you acquired the music files in an - let?s blurt it out - illegal way, either do the right thing and throw the music files away right away, or buy the CDs and throw the illegal files, when you have ripped the CD in question. Then proceed as . above.
Creatives answer to iTunes is MediaSource, a mediocre piece of software to beware of. Either buy Red Hats excellent sofware, or use the drag-and-drop method. Or use WinAMP with the Zen Plugin (there still is one, right?).

Problems with Creative zen Micro Pho

Hello.
Today my creative zen Micro Photo came.
Eeverything works, the software, the player, but i cant put files on it. Hes loading the battery if i take the player on my USB.
But the software (Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer) doesnt recognice the player, so what shall i do?
sorry for my mad englisch, im from germany

Have you tried going into Device Manager and updating the driver for the Micro? You don't actually have to install a driver update, you can just elect to use the driver that is already installed, and Windows will attempt to refresh the pairing between the installed driver and your specific player.

Zen Micro Software Requi

I lost my software cd, I realize that you can download the files from the downloads section of the website. Which exact files should I donwload and in what order do I install them? I need specifics.

fizban9: Don't forget the drivers as well.
Basically you want to install the drivers first, currently <EM>Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03</EM>.
Then you want to install MediaSource, but you'll need to connect your player first as MediaSource will want it as part of the install. For MediaSource the latest version is <EM>Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2</EM>. Once that's installed you'll also need the plugin, to make sure the PC can see your player, <EM>Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource</EM>.
As mentioned, if you want the CD burning facilities you need <EM>Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8.</EM> I'm not sure if this works without a previous install, but Micromouse should be able to confirm this.
If you are using the v2 MTP firmware you also need this update, <EM>Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)</EM>.
If you want Zen Micro Media Explorer then you need to grab the <EM>Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update</EM>.
So in summary:
. Drivers - <EM>Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03</EM>
2. MediaSource - <EM>Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2, Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource, Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 </EM>and <EM>Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) </EM>if you have the v2 firmware.
3. ZMME - <EM>Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update</EM>

Creative Zen Micro... What could it

Hello,
When I tried to update my creative zen micro to the firmware version 2.2, the program froze, and I was forced to close it while the screen was stuck at "Player rebooting... please wait...". Now, when I hook my player to my computer, my computer recognizes it as a portable device under Device Manager named "Creative Zen Micro" and it is recognized in My Computer. When I right click and hit properties on the icon in My Computer it says Firmware Version: 2.2. But when I double click it says it only has a 20 MB space when this player is 5 GB. When I turn my Zen Micro on, the player quickly flashes to "Firmware Problem" before proceeding to the Recovery Mode Screen. Now, each selection in the Recovery Mode works. But, where I'm stuck is when I go into the (latest) version of the Zen Micro explorer, it tells me to connect my device. Also, when I try to downgrade my firmware or run any Creative software that requires the device to be detected, it can't detect it. This is quite odd, considering windows detects it under Portable Devices just fine.
-I reinstalled all the original software, still no go
-I reinstalled the original software and upgraded to the latest manually, still no go
-I reinstalled all my USB port drivers, still no go
-I cleaned and formatted the player under Recovery Mode, still no go
All I need to do is downgrade my firmware to a non Plays-for-Sure (since it is the version of installation that failed). But, I just can't get the Creative programs to detect my player.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Alas!
I got it to work!
Here's how I fixed it ( in case anyone else has this problem )
-I connected the player to another computer in the house.
DO NOT connect the player to a front of the case USB port because the computer had trouble using the player in that port, connect it DIRECTLY to the motherboard in the back of your computer.
-I installed the software.
Note: The computer did NOT have a previous version of the software installed at all, ever.
My laptop and desktop could not recognize my player properly, but they DID have the player installed previously on both of them. (But it also could be because they both have Creative Sound Card software installed, you never know)
-Zen explorer did NOT detect my player, so I ran the firmware update ( in my case downgrade to . ) installation and VOILAH! It detected my player fine and downgraded it successfully.

Creative Zen micro: "Firmware Problem&qu

hey, i have a Creative zen micro (orange, 6gb but i think it doesent matters"), but when i turn it on, it says "Firmware problem".
and it goes to the menu (think is called Recovery menu) and it shows:
Creative Zen Micro V0.0.65
1.Clean Up
2.Format all
3.Reload frimware
4.Reboot
now creative tells me to download a new firmware.
i did.
then to "RELOAD FIRMWARE"
and click on the upgrade, but then it says that there is no player connected, and my compuer does recognize it.
is there any way to fix this or is my zen busted?

I had a simalar problem with my Zen xtra, if it failed durng a firmware update and its stuck in recue mode try this:
Remove all creative software and drivers from your P.C
remove windows media player and media player runtime ( from control panel/add/remove programs - if you have them listed there) you should see it go through a rollbackl procedure to an earlier version of wiondows media player.
Downlaod the latest firmware for your player
Re-boot/re start your P.C
Go to the creative support website, and download the plays for sure software suite
listed as:
<i>. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)3.98 MB 28 Apr 05 </i>
install the software by clicking on it.
RE-boot your P.C, with your player conected via USB
once your P.C re-starts, go to the location where the firmware was downloaded to and get ready to start the upgrade
Copnnect your player to its charger ( unless it charges via USB)
On your player slect the reload OS option in the rescue menu
When prompted by your player start the firmware update on your PC.
<i>with the Zen xtra firmware you had/need to select the language option in the update on the P.C when the p[layer displays the 'update over USB' message.</i>

Creative zen micro version 1.11

I have a Creative Zen Micro 2nd hand withno CDwith it. Now I have problem uploading and downloadingthe song onto the player.What software should i be using and where to download

What version of Windows do you have?
I use firmware version ..0 on my 5 Gb Zen Micro on one of my older computers running WinME.
I use Zen Micro Media Explorer as I find it simple to use, but Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 works too.
If you're running XP, Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB or Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) should work for you.
