Firmware? is my micro dyi

ok so first of all what is firmware and how do you get it's ( i need specifics, im not good at this technology thing)
ok so my micro has started to sound like its a cd-player. i've had it for 2 months and lately the sound quality has deteriorated. the music sounds really far away and like someone is digitally altering the music. it speeds up sometimes or just repeats the beat. help me!! i dont know what to do!!!
do i need this firmware stuff?

Firmware might help. Firmware is a update for you micro, you can search google for more info.
To get firmware:
On the creative website, go to support, downloads, select mp3, Zen, Zen Micro. Make sure the language and OS (XP, 98, ME...) is correct then press ok. There is a desciption of all the downloads. Find firmware you want, click download and follow directions.

What to do if new firmware for zen micro is not for you

Ok its pretty simple, takes long but it should work (never been tested)
Uninstall the new firmware (keep all your songs saved onto PC music library)Install the cd you were given with the zen micro.You'll have all your songs on your pc library ( i would reccomend clearing out you zen micro music library and just putting the pc music library songs on your zen micro from there) so just transfer all the files you want onto the zen micro and it should be running fine.please reply and tell me what happens.Zenmastertml

Hi Prakash,
As per GAAP - FI general accepting account principal,
Balance is define as on date,
while transaction/P&L can define for perticular period date range.
Here, I guess you want to see balance as on 30.06.2011
and transaction for 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011.
Am i right?
FYI, If you use 0BALANCE for any period, let say 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
then it will show balance for last day 30.06.2011
because its aggregation is SUM, LAST Value on time characteristics.
More detail on requirement will help us to provide you better solution.

On/off button doesnt work after firmware upgrade on micro

hi,
two days ago i found out about the new firmware update for the micro zen (..0) i realized it would get me better mileage out of my battery so i updated it. i also sent it to my friends that i convinced to get the zen cause it was so much better than the ipod. i updated mine zen and realized right away that the on/off switch was acting very very weird. it would sometime take two or three tries to get it on or off. after a day or two it stopped working altogether. i updated the firmware again but that didnt do anything. my friends didnt have any problems with it. i cant even get into recovery mode cause the only way to turn it on is to plug it in the charger/computer. the only way to turn it off is to unplug the battery. my computer does recognize it when i plug it in cause i was even able to backup all my songs. can someone please help me?

You get to recovery mode by removing the battery, so on/off is not necessary.
It might well be the switch has failed, and therefore you need to contact Creative Support, links for which are in the FAQ post.

Problems with upgrading firmware in Zen Micro 4

I am currently having a problem with upgrading the firmware on my Zen Micro 4 GB. The Zen Micro seems to hang right after the first reboot, therefore not finishing the whole upgrade. I am currently trying to upgrade to 2.2.02. It seems that whenever I try to reboot the Zen Micro while it is connected via USB, it hangs at the Creative Logo and I have to end up resetting the system. Oddly enough, I have a second Zen Micro that I was able to upgrade the firmware with no problems whatsoever. Any suggestions?
P.S. I do have Windows XP SP2 with WMP 0 installedMessage Edited by Hubmasterflex on 0-07-2006 04:23 AM

Try using reload OS in the recovery mode to erase the current firmware, then connect to the PC and reload. You take a risk doing this though as if the firmware won't reload from the PC you'll be left with an effecti'vely useless player, and you'll have to contact support to get a replacement.

ZEN MICRO: firmware improvements suggesti

Some suggestions and bug-signalations to improve firmware of Zen Micro. (actually I use fw .02.05): [*]play songs in a album not in alphabetical order, but using track number order, for me has more sense, do you? Because concept album, but all albums really, are betted listened in theway artist put their songs... I hope had been clear in my explanation.. [*]insert contacts and appointments direcly in ZenMicro without sincronize with Outlook...
for other useful suggestions people post here!!!
UP THE IRONS! :mrgreen:

. Tracks do play in order of the tag track number, if queued by album.
2. Fair enough.
There are several petitions and wishlists already on the go, so it would probably be better to add your information to them. See Part 2 of the FAQ.

Zen Micro - firmware update failed so now "dead"

I have a firmware problem with my Zen Micro. Can anyone help?
The series of actions I have taken so far are these:
I got my Micro in January 2006. I now want to run Audible software to listen to their books so I downloaded the firmware update L6_2_2_02.exe from the Creative support site which is stated as providing the Audible?facility.
I backed up the Micro contents using Creative MeadiaSource Organiser. I then ran the firmware update from my Win XP PC. This started OK and I got a series of messages about what was happening. Then it stopped with the progress indicator bars about 2/3 across. I left it for half an hour and nothing changed so clicked to stop the update.
I checked the firmware version on the Micro and it said 2.2.02. The update?looked OK and the FM worked but of course I had no music content.
I opened my Creative MeadiaSource Organiser (v 3.0.09) but it said no device is connected so I was unable to reload the music. My XP PC recognised the Micro as connected and I checked Device Manager which showed the "device is working properly". I was also able to synch music to the Micro using Windows Media Player and this played OK. I tried another computer and could also synch using Windows Media Player but I wanted to reload my music from the backup.
I looked on the Creative site for the steps to take when a firmware update fails. The Zen Micro is not on the list as supporting the MP3 Player Recovery Tool so I did not use that. I followed the Reload Failure recovery instructions and ran Clean UP, then Format All, but this did not fix it so I ran Reload Firmware on the Micro. This was a big mistake!
Now when I try to run the firmware update from my Win XP PC, I select English then I get the message "Your player is not connected, please connect your player". I checked again and XP still recognises the Micro and the device is working. It is no longer recognised by Windows Media Player but just? appears to XP as an empty storage device.
The Micro now shows the firmware as v 0.0.65, but now it is stuck in Recovery Mode. I have contacted Creative Support but their reply is that this player is now over 3 years old, reached its end of service life, so there is no support other than on their web site. Following their web site recovery instructions got me into this mess so I guess?no extra help is offered from Creative.
The player is now essentially dead. Unless there is some way to get the firmware update program to recognise the device as connected, then I don't know how to fix this. This is a shame as it is a nice little player for my music collection.
Can anyone help as I don't know what to do next?

I have the same problem. I put the screenshots below and the errors that happen to me.I can not put him the firmware because I do not recognize the device.
Both windows xp windows 7 as the

Zen Micro Firmware Update Probl

hi, i would like to say that i am quite happy with the product i have baught but i would like to upgrade the firmware
im from the UK and the problem is that after much hastle (interfering programs) i finaly managed to upgrade the firmware for my micro (to version 2.00.2),
but when i checked the site
http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...s/download.asp
it says there is a newer firmware option (8th febuary 05 version .0.03) although the version number is lower.
can anyone help me by telling me which firmware version i would need to install to have the newest and best running firmware for my zen micro?Message Edited by Tea on 02-2-2005 0:35 PM

well, if everything is fine for you now, don't change at the moment
There is a "newer" BETA 2.0.xx something ( = not stable, and only for experienced computer and player users)
There is a "newer" .0.03-LB version, which is identical to the .0.03-US version but has the menus in more languages.

Zen Micro New Firmware controlling Usb Charg

Is there any possibility to create a new firmware (for ZEN MICRO) that offers us to make disable / able usb charging.
I dont want to charge my player everytime.(because of battery life shorting.)

There is already an existing thread on this (which I replied to). A second one isn't needed.

Zen Micro Firmware update - Now can't transfer W

I loaded my WMA files to my new ZEN MICRO 4Gb player... Then I signed up for Napster to Go...Said I need a firmware update...did the update...Had reload again...but, now all my transfers of WMA files fail! MP3 files work fine...Anyone have the issue before?

Ever since I upgraded the firmware for the micro, I have been unable to transfer WMAs via Media Player v0 or Creative MediaSource. The error I receive is "An error has occurred while transferring this file". This only occurs on WMAs. MP3s transfer fine.

Media Players won't Recognize 5 gig Micro after firmware upd

I received my 5 gig Creative Zen Micro two years ago for Christmas and I haven't been able to listen to it with headphones for about a year.
When I first discovered that the head phone input was un-soldered I was very upset and pretty sure I'd never be able to listen to it ever again but then I figured out I could connect my zen to my computer and play songs from it via mediasource or realplayer.
After I updated the firmware for my micro mediasource wouldn't recognize it and windows says it's an MTP player (before it was labeled as a usb device).
I downloaded a some kind of plug in that was suppose to fix the problem but it didn't.
Where do I go from here?
Also does any one know of a place in the Greenville South Carolina area that could fix the head phone input?

Have you updated all your Zen Micro's software? You could use Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2(52.2 MB) or Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update(48.24 MB)
Also check out this thread, ZenMaster333 has helped a lot of people with headphone jack problems.
Alternati'vely, you could contact ZenRepair.com

Zen Micro - transfer lock ups with latest firmwa

I've been trying to transfer mp3 files to my firmware upgraded Zen Micro and find that the transfer slows down and then locks the player after 30-40 files have successfully copied. This happens with ..0 and 2.2.02 firmwares.
The player will then remain in a 'acti've' docked state (black arrows) until the battery is removed. After this lock up tags on the mp3 files are messed up and display Chinese looking characters in the Details View.
This happens on two different computers with USB2.0, one Intel based and the other AMD.
Two questions - anyone know if this is a known issue being worked on for an imminent firmware update? And secondly - is the problem aggravated (or even created) because I am trying to copy files over from a directory tree (mp3's sorted into artist/album/ folders) rather than one flat folder with all mp3s in it (ie. in one single folder).

I'd try transferring fewer files at a time and see if that works.
You might be on to something with copying from a directory tree too. See if transferring the files in smaller groups from one folder helps out.
You can always organize the artists/albums later in Zen Micro Media Explorer or Creative MediaSource.
