Is Zen Sleek Photo for re

Has there been any official confirmation that there will be a Zen Sleek Photo I mean I've seen the pictures, but even my grandmother can use photoshop these days...
Also, assuming it is for real...is there an official release date?

it's actually sold in some stores in Singapore (Creative's headquarters, therefore-all products are available to them first). If their smart, they'll release it by November, I know too many people who prefer the iPod to the Zen Sleek simply because they want it to be color. Color sells.
I have never seen it in Singapore. Also, we don't get all the new stuff. In fact, I haven't seen an actual Sleek, much less Sleek Photo. However, we do have the Microphoto.

  • Zen Sleek Photo uploading Audio Book Iss

    I have searched the forum and been unable to find any information about problems uploading an Audio Book into my Zen Sleek Photo. I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out? The file is not corrupted, I can play it in Windows Media Player, I just can't sync it into my Zen Sleek Photo. Whenever I try, an error message appears. The same is true when I attempt to use the software with which I downloaded the file (OverDri've).
    The file is an audio book?digitally 'borrowed' from my public library and it is protected. I found a post by CATHERINA that she recommended using a Zen Sleek Photo for this same process. I was really hoping someone could help me out.
    I did copy and paste the file into the player and?my player told me?I didn't have a license... I then?find out after reading (... on this forum or website... read so much today I can't remember!) that I can't do that b/c the license doesn't transfer over (oops!). I have always had great experience with the Customer Service from Creative so I hope everyone else has and that you guys have some great advice for me.... Thanks!

    Thanks for responding!? I have tried following all of the steps they provided at their website. The program itself is pretty self explanatory. The problem always happens mid-transfer. For both WMP and OMC (OverDri've Media Center). I even updated everything I could for the Zen Sleek Photo, and as many of you know there really isn't all that much in the way of updates for it. I downloaded the ZenCast Organizer?thinking I could use it for all media types, not only ZenCasts, but I can't figure out how to put other files than ZenCasts into it. I'm usually not this computer illiterate!
    I have tried using Real Player to upload the file as I read here in another post that some people managed to use that to get around file size issues (I think they were able to load smaller files, just not big ones whereas I can't load anything). Error message was reported and the list of errors ranged from not having the correct license (I feel this is incorrect as I can play the files on my computer... is that wrong?)?to the player not supporting that type of file. Does anyone know if the Sleek Photo's have problems with DRM's??I have even updated my WMP to and tried to upload the files again, same error message. Someone mentioned on another thread something about having an error b/c my ID Tags are insufficient for the player. I tried using my sync manager that came with the player, but it doesn't seem to want to do anything. It sat there for about 20 minutes searching or something. It was my last attempt so I got frustrated and decided to hold off on playing with it for a while.

  • Zen sleek photo - please h

    I bought a Zen sleek photo today and I'm really dissapointed. Firstly, I charged it, when that was done I turned it on, then it crashed. I reset it and it came on, then I realised that one of the earphones didn't work, grrrr.
    I am also having enormous trouble with the vertical touch pad, it does what the heck it wants regardless of what I want it to do. It took me half an hour just to set the time, I was almost crying in fustration. To top it off, I am unable to transfer most of the music I have tried although the software looks ultra easy to use, much easier than the Zen Nomad.
    Its hard to tell with just one earphone working but it doesn't sound great quality & not very clear at all and its not terribly loud even with the volume right up. Every now & then I get a burst of interferance, its not on the song when played on my laptop and it was from an original cd.
    Its driving me mad, please help! Have I just been unlucky & got a faulty machine?
    Thanks
    Sarah

    You might just be unlucky so you'll probably want to send it back. I have had a zen sleek photo for half a month now and i have had none of those problems. In fact, i've enjoyed having it so far.Message Edited by the_Adam on 06-23-2006 09:35 PM

  • Zen Sleek Photo: support for Album A

    As the title already says: will there be support for Album Art for the Zen Sleek Photo in future firmware versions?

    Yes I also ask the same question. I ordered mine earlier this week and thought the sleek would support album art. I actually downloaded MediaMonkey and took about 6+ hours going thru and organizing everything and making sure every album had an album cover. Please Creative just fix this one setback and it would be an even sweeter player then it already is! I couldn't afford to get a ZVM but the Sleek Photo was the next best thing. Please we're not asking much just help us out. There are people out here that still use your earlier players and are being left in the dust...don't leave us there when we know that you can fix it or provide us a way to fix it. Thanks!

  • Missing metal insert for headphones on zen sleek photo

    I have a zen sleek photo and the little metal insert that goes where the headphones plug in fell out and I can't find it and was wondering if anyone knew how I might get another one. I don't even know what it is called but its the little metal thing where you plug your headphones into.
    Thank you!

    <EM>I posted this to your earlier posting:</EM>
    I have noticed this when I have used my Sleek Photo with other headphones (I don't use the out of the box ones).
    This usually happens when you have Smart Volume enabled. I would go to the main menu screen, then choose system-->audio settings-->Smart Volume, and see if this is set to "on". If it is, try turning it off, and see if the volume improves.

  • 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?

  • Zen Sleek Photo Freezes/Locks Up after about 5 minutes usage (need to drain battery to recov

    Hi,
    My 20G Zen Sleek Photo has just recently transformed itself into a useless brick.
    No matter what I try and do, it always ends up freezing after about 5 minutes usage. When you force a reset it does unlock but when it comes back on it sticks on the Creative "copyright" start up screen.
    I've reformatted and re-installed the firmware several times but with the same result.
    font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">
    The only time it totally unlocks is when you either:
    () let the battery fully drain and then recharge it or
    (2) you disconnect the battery lead and then press the On/Off switch for several minutes.
    I've looked everywhere for a solution/reason but nothing. You find plenty of people with the same problem but no answers. Surely someone knows how to fix the problem
    Is it a faulty battery (unlikely because mine charges up fine and holds it charge well)
    Is it the hard dri've (very unlikely since the player can start up correctly [given the above recovery procedure] and play tracks within the 5-0 minutes you have available)
    Is it the firmware (I doubt it, I can't see what the firmware's got to do with a delayed lock up, having worked fine up to that point)
    Is it the motherboard (maybe....., to my mind it points to a component failure that allows an electric charge to build up and not dissipate, the only way to discharge it is to short the battery pins [with, I hasten to add, the battery removed!])
    font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">
    Has anyone within the Creative community successfully solved this problem Has anyone received a decent answer from Creative
    I find it staggering that the guys at Creative have washed their hands of this problem. They, after all, are the most likely people to identify the problem - only they have a schematic of the motherboard that would allow them to investigate and locate the problem.
    For the record the firmware I'm using is v .0.0.
    Any guidance would be much appreciated,
    Victor

    Is there really no one with an answer to this problem or have I overlooked a previous post that explained the fault.

  • Transfering music from Napster To Go to Creative Zen Sleek Photo probl

    Hello
    I have a Creative Zen Sleek Photo with Napster To Go. I have Windows XP home edition. I can rip a CD to the hard dri've
    of the computer and transfer music to the mp3 player, but I am receiving a message when trying to transfer music files
    from Napster To Go. The message is the mp3 player will need an update to the firmware to work with Napster To Go.
    The Zen Sleek Photo has the latest firmware. I had been able to transfer music from Napster To Go until recently.
    Napster support referred me to Creative support but the Sleek Photo is past the warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Bridget Ferrazzano

    I had problems for the first month of my Napster membership (while I was still in the trial period). I nearly went elsewhere, but stayed with it. As soon as the trial period was over, everything worked perfectly. One suggestion is to use the same software for everything. Whether you use Creative media source, Napster's own software or media explorer or any of the others, stick with that one only. Do not give up and go to itunes. What a waste of money!?If you need to reload firmware or try another software, it's worth it.
    I also had some issues getting help. Napster said the problem was with Creative and Creative said the problem was with Napster. Don't give up. Can you get ripped songs in?

    Hi i had this problem too and the solution was amazingly simple. (I found it by searching on Google for ages!) Turn your pc off and then unplug it from the mains for approximately 30 mins. I know it sounds crazy but apparantly static electricity can cause problems with usb devices particularly if you have your device already plugged in to USB port-Windows forgets its there! After 30 mins plug your pc back in to the mains and voila! your Zen will be recognised again.
    2:44 AM : After 30 minutes of trying to fall asleep with no success turned on computer and connected the Zen... Didn't have much expectations, but IT WORKED! IT REALLY DID! WINDOWS FOUND THE DEVICE CORRECTLY AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING NOW!
    THANSKS FRED!

  • Zen Sleek Photo, Zen Xtra, and Vi

    I know I?ve posted about this before, but new folks visit here every day, and the information contained in these posts can get buried after just a few days. If the moderators wish, they can remove any earlier posts that I have put up here on this board.
    This concerns problems with Vista and the Zen Sleek Photo mp3 player. The Zen software is not compatible and won?t install.
    After receiving some information from ?Creative, and after some further experimenting on my own, I have put together a procedure that will, in fact, do a full install of the Zen Sleek Photo on a machine running Vista.
    I have also discovered that this installation procedure also works for my Nomad Zen Xtra ? an unexpected bonus!
    It worked for me, and I have received feedback from several dozen people already who have used this procedure with 00% success, so I know that it works!? I am currently getting three or four requests daily for this, and most have been kind enough to follow up and let me know that it solved their problem.
    I will send this info, in Word document form, to anyone who requests it. Just email me at:
    [url=mailto:[email protected]">[color="#0000ff" face="Times New Roman" size="3">[email protected][/url]

    Dave, I tried to send email to [url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected][/url]?but it's bouncing back. Can you pl post your correct ID? I'd like to get the procedure for Zen Sleek Photo Installation on Vista. Thanks?

  • Zen Sleek Photo Installation Wo

    Hey guys, I just bought a Creative Zen Sleek Photo MP3 player and i'm having trouble installing the driver. After plugging it in, windows detects the new hardware and goes thru the installation process the driver. At the end it tells me:
    "Cannot install this Hardware.
    There was a problem installing this hardware.
    MTP Device
    An error occured during the installation of the device.
    The required section was not found in the INF."
    There are only two INF files, one located in the root and one within Walmart/Files. I manually directed the installation wizard to both directories but the end result for both is the same. Nothing Happens.
    Just wondering if anyone has encountered a similar problem or if there is a fix around for this?
    Cheers
    (winxpsp2)

    Hello, I have had the same problem and had great help when I emailed creative.com. They recommended I uninstalled the software, disabled my broadband and disabled my spamkiller and security packages. Once I had done this I reinstalled and now my player was recognized immediately. This had never happened before. I now can download. Hope this helps Forgot to say also I had to make sure I had windows service pack 2.

  • Broken Zen Sleek PHoto a week after a Broken Zen Mi

    hey folk,i have a problem my creative sleek photo was working perfectly one minute when i was arranging my music on it and then 5 minutes later i went upstairs to listen to it and it wouldn't switch on. i plugged it into the pc and it still wouldnt work. i only purchased it off my mother a week ago and she only had 400 songs on it and it was never really used. the reason i purchased it is because last week my zen micro stopped working and creative told me it was problably the harddri've and said send it in for repair which i didnt as it was out of warrenty. but now my new zen sleek photo is gone. i am so upset and the money this is costing me is alot. i need some advice. does anyone think it could be down to my pc??thanksstephen

    Alright so after messing with it till the wee hours of the morning, I have come to the conclusion that it only freezes when trying to transfer certain songs. However, ALL my songs are in the MP3 format. But whenever I try to transfer them, it gets to 00% then freezes. Then I have to CTRL+ALT+DELETE to end the program, clean up and reboot my Zen, then its ready to go again. Still confused.

  • Zen Sleek Photo - Can't reload firmw

    I acidentally erased the firmware on my Zen Sleek Photo and I've been having troubles re-loading it. I downloaded the only firmware available on Creative's site for the Zen Sleek Photo and tried to run it, but it keeps saying that my player is not connected. My player is in fact connected and I don't know why it's not picking it up. I know Microsoft Windows is picking it up because I get that pop up that asks what I want to do when a media device is connected. I am basically stuck in recovery mode now because I can't load the firmware. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    After hours of searching around the forums, I finally found the solution. I downloaded the hotfixes found here http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=793
    They'll fix the problem even if you don't use an online music subscription.
