Firmware Upgrade Doesn't Recognize Pla

I'm trying to reload the firmware on my Zen Micro. It just stopped working for some reason. My computer recognizes the player and when I run Creative's Recovery Tool, it initially recognizes the player. However, when I run the firmware upgrade, the player is not recognized. I've done everything Creative suggests, including changing the registry permissions. I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ouch. You don't use preferences to point to a library on an external drive. I hope you didn't do anything with preferences. You use that to redirect iTunes to where you want to put just media which is only part of your library. The other part of your library is, uh, wherever you keep it.
If you really keep the whole library on an external, start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key, then point it to the iTunes folder on the external.

Upgraded, doesn't recognize my ipod now (SYS)

I made the mistake of upgrading my iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my ipod. Instead it shows an ipod in the Source window named SYS with none of my music showing up. I think it still is reading something on the ipod because it shows how full my ipod is, I just can't get to any of the music. I mostly use my ipod for listening to music through my computer so it's a bummer that I can't get to it, and there is music on there that I don't have the cd for anymore so I can't just reimport it. Also, I completely removed the new iTunes and reinstalled the iTunes I used previously and it still doesn't work.
If anyone has seen this before or has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I'm not very computer-literate so talk slow.. haha. Thank you!

Zen Micro Firmware loader won't recognize pla

I used recovery mode to erase the firmware. Now I can connect via USB to Windows, which looks fine, and even the player thinks it's connected. But the loader programs gives an error indicating the player is not connected. I have reloaded the driver a few times and even tried a differnet computer.. no luck. so I have what appears to be a functioning player that doesn't do anything. very frustrating

Sounds exactly like my problem, frustrating as hell. I have tried various tricks outlined on other posts, such as
- unloading the XP drivers before trying to update firmware
- reloading the XP drivers before trying to update firmware
- attempting to install drivers for version firmware, no luck, the device presumably thinks it has version 2 firmware and so XP will ony treat it as such
- setting the USB permissions in the registry for Everyone to full & read
- installing all updates for Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer and Creative Zen Micro Media Source
- using updates from WindowsMedia-KB8922-x86 and WindowsMedia0-KB902344-x86-INTL.exe.
but as yet I have had no luck ;-(
I have emailed tech suport, but would obviously love to hear if you solved your issue and if so, how. I'll obviously post details re any successful outcome here as well.
Cheers

ITunes 10.7 "upgrade" doesn't recognize my library

Just installed the latest iTunes (10.7). Instead of bringing up my library, it's showing me startup info about how to add music to a (presumably empty) new library.
The software was pointing to a newly created "ITunes Media" folder. I've used preferences to point to the actual location of my library (on an external drive), but I keep getting the same startup info screens, with no music (/movies/etc.) list (although the prefs now show the correct location for my media).
I know I can choose "Add to library" to get iTunes to construct a new list... but then I think everything will have the current date as "Date Added," which I don't want.
How can I fix this? Thanks for any help.

Vision:M - "Firmware upgrade failed!&qu

After spending several long, long hours rolling back WMP, trying different USB ports, installing and uninstalling various software, and borrowing friends' computers, I FINALLY got the firmware upgrade software to recognize my mp3 player. With great delight and an intense feeling of satisfaction, I clicked the "Upgrade" button and waited for several minutes, only to get a "Firmware upgrade failed!" message. I've tried the "Reload Firmware" option more than once, only to receive the very discouraging "Harddisk Problem". I've tried everything I can think of, from formatting to rebooting to resetting to reloading, but to no avail. I'm now left, like so many others, with a $300 bookend. Now what? I'm completely demoralized.

Well, being the stubborn person that I am,?I didn't listen to your advice andYesterday, against all odds from what I read on this forum, and being told that I would end up with an expensi've paperweight,? I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my Zen Vision M 30MB. ?I downloaded the newest firmware .6, saved it on my laptop which runs WMP 0, disabled all applications, including Norton and virus and spyware programs, as well as Creative's detector, connected my Zen Vision M to the USB dri've, double clicked the new firmware file, and followed the instructions. The new firmware started installing, within 3 minutes my player rebooted and then the library started rebuilding and within 5 minutes the process was SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED!!!!!My player is working better than ever, it has all the new upgrades, album art, never went into Recovery Mode, and most important of all, I didn't lose any of my 2500 songs, hundreds of photos, slideshows and numerous videos, even my personal wallpaper and themes remained the same. I subsequently took the player to my desktop which runs WMP to test it'sand lo and behold, my player was immediately recognized, i transferred music and pictures without any problem and my player is now drag and drop compliant ?through Windows Explorer. My faith in Creative is unfaltering, I also own a MUVO TX FM, a Zen Micro and a Zen Sleek Photo and never had any problem with any of them.

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize audio cd's after Yosemite upgrade

After completing the upgrade to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize purchased audio cd's. Help!!

hi russeel!
when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?
okay, we've gone up a
b lot
of versions in your case (nearly as many as it is possible to go), so we'd probably better check through some of the usual suspects. let's start off with this document:

ITunes doesn't recognize audio CD's after upgrading to 6.0

Can anyone offer help?
Thanks

Creative Zen Sleek Photo Firmware Download does not recognize my pla

My Creative Zen Sleek Photo recently froze up. After restarting it, the "firmware problem" screen popped up. After reading up on it a bit, I decided to first clean, then reformat, and then reload the firmware. Everything went smoothly until I went to load the firmware back onto my Zen.
For whatever reason a screen pops up that says that my device is not connected to the computer, when it, in fact, is. I have tried several things including uninstalling Windows Media Player and repeatedly cleaning and reformatting in hopes that it would recognize it.
I have had no prior problems with the computer recognizing the device and I have loaded quite a bit of music onto it through this computer. Can anyone please help? Any more ideas? Anything will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks?

HelloHave a look at this thread http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ead.php?t=6328?I had a similar problem with a Zen Sleek Photo and I am sure that this was the thread I used to recover the player when a firmware upgrade failed. Regards?

(Both upgrades to the phone and lap-top were done based on Apples suggestion, so I find it strange it doesn't work automatically, which should be a basic reason for choosing Apples costly products!)

Try rebooting your computer.
You might also try downloading and installing iTunes 11 which came out today.

You've posted in the iTunes Match forum. You'll probably get better help posting in the Using iPhone forum. Or the appropriate iTunes forum.

Upgraded to iTunes 8, now it doesn't recognize previous music folders

I have stored my iTunes library on an external hard drive (F drive). When I updated to iTunes 8, the update automatically reset my preferences to the C drive.
I changed the iTunes music folder preference back to the F drive but it does not recognize any of the music stored there. It does allow me to store other music on the F drive, but will not recognize previously existing music.
How do I get my music back?

Well I reloaded the files and that seemed to help, I'd say I recovered about 75% of my music but that still leaves about 500+/- songs that iTunes 8 doesn't recognize. Now I need to go back and manually load each CD and hope that resolves the problem that iTunes 8 caused.
What a pathetic "upgrade."

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize Flip Mino camera in USB port after Yosemite upgrade

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Flip Mino camera in the USB port.

I don't use FLIP, but if you get no other help here,
consider the following ideas.
If neither restarting your Mac
nor reinstalling OS X fixes your
problem, you might find some
help if you search or post in the

10.9.2 doesn't recognize scanner in Canon MX725 after upgrade

10.9.2 doesn't recognize scanner in Canon MX725 (WLAN) after upgrade.
I've reseted the printing system. Printing works fine.
Any Suggestions?

So after installing the ICA driver, did you try removing the MX725 from Printers and Scanners and adding again?
And is the MX725 still failing to appear under the Shared entry of Image Capture?
If it is not showing in Image Capture then open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. The right pane will show information about the MX725. Please copy that information and paste back here for me to check.
You could also try installing the MX725 TWAIN scanner driver via link below. This download includes Canon's IJ Scan Utility, which will install in Applications > Canon Utilities.
