now what do i do?

the problem just occured last night while trying to load up new firmware for it,the . went it fine,loading in the next firmware update,the firmware update program locked up my computer and then like an idiot,i reset the computer.the player was still being reconizged,,then loading up the zen explorer,it said the player is not connected.i unplugged it and reset the computer again,then the MTP device is coming up.
nothing happens with any of the options.i even tried erasing the firmware to maybe wipe it clean and then try to reload the firmware.i didn't use the zen for awhile cause i have no time to listen to it and i can't bring it to work.
the firmware i had on the player was with came with it when i bought it.don't remember what it was.

How to reload firmware for MTP dev

I upgrade my firmware to v2.0 and then my Micro froze and stayed in "recovery mode" no matter what i do. My Windows now recognize it as a "windows portable device" instead of under "USB". However
Window MediaPlayer complain about the device not connected. Even worse looks like the firmware update .exe only works for '"USB device," I cant reload firmware to my Micro.BTW, as soon as I upgrade firmware initially and reboot, it says firmware problem and stayed in "recovery mode".
Looks like every one who tries this firmware 2.0 ends up having a dead Micro. Think Creative should address this problem and either issue a patch online or voluntary repair all Micro for free whether they are under warranty or not.

I have a similar problem with my Zen Touch. During a firmware upgrade to PlayForSure, Windows detected the Zen Touch as a new MTP Device. It then prompted me to install the necessary software for this device, I selected "install automatically" but Windows XP failed to do this.
I am now stuck with my Zen having no functional firmware at all, and every time I connect it to the PC the "Found New Hardware Wizard" prompts me to install software for the new MTP Device. This fails every time.
Running the update firmware exe file always tells me that my Zen is not connected to the computer. Even though it is.
What can I do? How do I get the firmware updater to see my player?

Reload firmware: how does it wo

I am stuck on the Recovery Mode.
When I select Reload firmware, a message announces that firmware is being erased. I hear lots of disk noises... Then I get a Hard Dri've error.
What do I have to do before clicking on Reload Firmware?
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help. Thanks.

There's no special sequence, you just select reload firmware.
Based on all your other problems, and now the hard dri've errors, your player must be faulty. As you've already contacted supported you could wait for a response from them, or phone them on Monday to escalate it, so that you can get the player replaced.

Thank you.

Hello Cato51,
You might want to include the model of your player so that it will be easier for others to reply to you post.

Yesterday my ZEN MICRO worked just fine and now today when I tried to tur it on nothing happened (the battery is fine). So I tried to reboot it and stuff but still it wouldnt turn on. So I clicked reload firmware and it did that. Now i am trying to install new firmwaare on it and it will not connect to the computer, the played wont light up nomatter what. And in the firmware prgram it says that the player isnt connected please connect it. OMFG please help. This is like to 500th problem i've had with creative and im not satisfied.

) Can your player perform battery charging? Any light blinking at the power button?
2) Can your player boot to recovery mode?
if yes, connect it to PC and perform a reload firmwire then install ZM's firmware from PC.
3) Can your PC detect your player in recovery mode?

How to upgrade firmware on Curve 8520 from v4.6 - v5 (don't have active Blackberry service account)

Hello
I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 runningt v4.6 formware. I see5.0 Bundle 1168 (v5.0.0.681 firmware is avaiable, platform 5.2.0.67), but I can't install it because I don't have an active service account. I get that error when I try upgrade it using USB cable and the Blackberry desktop software.
Any ideas how to upgrade or create and register one of these active service accounts?
I need to upgrade so that I can use USB MTP (which is not present in the current v4.6 firmware)
Many thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
From your post, I cannot quite tell the specific process you are attempting...so I will give you everything...
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6) Disconnect your PC from the internet and turn off all radios on your BB (consider also removing the SIM...not likely necessary, but just in case)
76a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
7b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 7a or 7b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Reload Firmware Kills Mi

After hours of perusing these boards, and finding dozens of people with the same problem, I am amazed that someone doesn't just spell out one simple fact here: If you use the "Reload Firmware" command on the 'recovery' menu, you have an expensi've paper-weight.
Why on earth would someone choose that dangerous command in the first place? Because the 'beta' firmware that is needed for Napster-to-Go doesn't work right. Any notion of getting rid of the beta firmware, and going back to the original is a myth. Once you blow up the firmware, there is no way you are going to bring the Zen Micro back from the dead.
Once the firmware is gone: your PC will not recognize that you have the unit connected; you will never again see any other menu BUT the recovery menu; and you will never be able to upgrade the firmware of a unit that is not recognized by the computer. You can try it on as many PC's as you like (I tried two others as some suggested, all with completely up to date XP SP2's, with WMP 0, and all updates), you can change USB ports to your heart's delight -- but this one simple fact is not going to change: if you killed the firmware the unit is unusable.
Why on earth isn't this all-important fact in the 'special' messages at the top of the forum? Why did I have to spend 2 hours of digging to find out many others have been forced to return their unit for this problem?
I would like to hereby challenge the Creative folks who are on this forum: why don't you just take a dozen Zen Micro's, click on the Reload Firmware command, and then tell us step by step how to bring them back to life. Obviously it can't be done, or you would have already posted such instructions; so why not post a warning not to use that command prominently on this board?

Jason,
In response to your reply to my post about the Zen Micro being inoperable after using the "Reload Firmware" command:
Yes - the Zen Micro worked for about 5 days after receiving it, although the software was buggy as hell interacting with Napster to Go, which was the only thing that made me buy the Zen in the first place. I would never have installed the 'beta' firmware, except that there was no way to use Napster without it.
No - the computer is not 'having a connection problem' as you suggested. I fell for that line of reasoning, and spent hours putting it on 3 computers (up to date with the latest updates) - but just as someone else replied here, if there is no firmware on the ZM it is NOT recognized by ANY computer.
Your message does not make it clear whether you did a reload firmware command on a unit that already had MTP firmware 2..02, as I and many others have tried to do. The fact of the matter is that you can launch the firmware install program, but it stops dead in its tracks and says it cannot detect the player.
Against my better judgment, I have asked Amazon for a replacement unit to be sent instead of a refund. I do not have high hopes that another unit won't also be unstable with the beta firmware - although at least this time I will avoid the "Reload Firmware" command like the plague. If it weren't for the Outlook sync feature, I would have gone to another brand until the Napster-Zen Micro deal is ready for prime time.
I still feel users on this board should be warned more prominently about the high likelihood of killing their zen if they use the reload firmware command. I have read countless other posts on this board that have gone through exactly the same experience, and have ended up either replacing or returning their units. Had such a warning been clearly posted, I would still have a working unit, as I read through hundreds of posts before and right after the purchase, and could have been forewarned not to attempt a firmware reload.

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.

How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
Here is the start method to show the stage.
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
        this.stage = stage;
        Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
        ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
        loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
        root = (Parent)loader.load();
        FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
        controller.setMain(this);
        scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
          //change the language here
1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
         try
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            scene.setRoot(root);
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
        catch(Exception err)
            err.printStackTrace();
So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
Thanks and best regards!

Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
Why don't you want to use option 2?
Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that). If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change. Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.

When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv

How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv? It does work with some programs like itunes but I can't get it to work with safari.

apple tv does not work in safari. there is no web browsing capabilities on the apple tv..
however what you are probably referring to is mirroring? iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have mirroring capabilities, so what you have on the screen is exactly what would appear in the apple tv..
on ipad for example...ignore the settings page. Instead, go to the iPod controls. Double-press your home button to see the multitasking bar, showing all your recent apps. Swipe your finger from right to left for the mirroring icon; you'll see the AirPlay icon. Tap on that, select your Apple TV and toggle the mirror button to 'on'.

How can I install google play on my BBZ10? help?

I trying to play some games but in order for me be able to use them properly I need google play on my devices.. How can I get google play on my BBZ10?? help?

You can get Google Play service, you have to update to 10.3.
There is an article on CrackBerry, Cobalt's Google Apps Landing, that has complete instructions on installing 10.3 and the GP services.
Even though Verizon is giving the update, the leaks have been released by Chen & Co and they are stable.
The Amazon App Store is good.. but Snap is better (also on CrackBerry) :-)
