Micro and Microphoto batter

Does anyone know if the battery from the Micro will work in the new Microphoto <EM> </EM>I bought 2 batteries for my original Micro and am now considering upgrading to the Microphoto. Just wondering if I can still use the batteries with the newer model...

Yes. The Zen Micro (original) batteries will work in Zen Micro Photos, but they will not last as long as ZMP batteries would, but they'll work.
And to answer your other question, yes, the player supports WMA files with DRM protection.

Zen Micro and Microphoto on same compu

I have a 4GB Micro and a Microphoto with Windows XP and WMP 0. What do I need to do to get both units to work with Media Explorer? Currently only the Micro is detected by Explorer and I have to use Windows Explorer to add content to the Microphoto.

each player has it's own individual media explorer, so zen micro media explorer cannot be used with zen microphoto. you need to install zen microphoto media explorer if you want to use it. another way is to use mediasource instead. that software can be used across multiple player.

IF ANYONE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ZEN MICRO AND MICROPHOTO, READ TH

Download : Latest Firmware.
- ZenMicroPhotoP4S_PCFW_LB__20_0.exe
Disable Mediasource Detector.
-Start Creative MediaSource.
-On the menu bar, click Tools -> Settings.
-Click the Detector tab.
-Click the Enable Detector checkbox to uncheck it.
-Restart your computer.
Try updating the firmware again.
Afterwhich , you may want to try reloading the firmware using the
recovery mode option.
Try to get into recovery mode with the following steps:
) Turn off the player.
2) Remove the battery.
3) Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and
re-insert the battery. Hold the Power button until the Recovery Mode
appears.
The following options will be displayed:
) Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players hard disk, it will not
affect music files)
2) Format All (Formats the players hard disk - Note: all contents will
be lost)
3) Reload Firmware (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox)
4) Reboot (Reboots the device).
Next select Reload Firmware and connect the player to the PC. After
connecting, launch firmware update file. Does the firmware update
process complete?

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Completely frozen while trying to reload firmware. You boot the thing up and it just sits there with the creai've logo. I have not tried the steps outlined exactly above yet but I am going to give them a shot. Heck I have nothing else to lose. At this point it is already 200 bucks down the drain. Hmm maybe I will go with the Zune form microsoft.

Trend micro and IPS

Hello,
I want to buy an ASA5510 + SSM for my lan.
The goal is :
- Make URL filtering/blocking within work hours
- Deny some application like IM, P2P, web radio, during work hours.
Trend Micro is good for the first think : url filtering by categories
But is not good for blocking IM, ... (only check port 80 http)
So, is it possible on an ASA to have Trend Micro and IPs working on the same appliance ?
If no, what is the solution?
Thx

Hi.
you can only install one module into the ASA. so yes, you can't have both the CSC and the SSM module in the same asa 5510.
however the ASA does support url filtering via Websense or Secure Computing SmartFilter (formerly N2H2) . so if you have a any of those servers, you can configure the ASA to do the url filtering, and install the ssm ips module into the ASA to do the IM blocking.
more info on asa web traffic filtering:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa83/configuration/guide/access_filter.html#wp1069318

Fadi.
if this answers your question please mark the thread as resolved.

and as part of the promotion currently running it would include an extra Battery.
If you wanted an AC adapter with it, you could order one along with the player and it should arri've in the same shipment. They are sold separately under accessories.

Zen micro and getting Zen Media Player to recognize

I went back to firmware .0.03 and reinstalled the Zen software after getting no where with firmware that works with MS media player.
I noticed two things.
the device installs differnently in the hardware profile between the two firmware versions
2 If I start the Zen media player and then connect my Zen Micro things work ok. If I connect my Zen Micro and then activate Zen media player things are hit and miss on detecting the Micro.
This just me or have others seen the same thing?Message Edited by summersr on 03-08-2005 03:38 AMMessage Edited by summersr on 03-08-2005 03:39 AM

Just a thought
Might try re-installing the software from the Zen disk (select repair option).
I noticed that it takes an extremely long time to install all of the parts and pieces and if you exit before it finishes you do not have all of the things the Zen needs to function.

Zen Micro and Li

I was thinking of going all out and only using Linux, since I am pretty Anti-Microsoft. But before I did that I wanted to know if I would still be able to put songs on my Zen Micro and charge it through the PC if I was using Linux. I am not sure which distro I am going to use yet. But I was thinking of switching soon. I just need to check into a few possible problems, and this is one of them.

There are 2 programs available:
XNJB: <a href='http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/index.html' target=_blank>http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/index.html[/url]
Gnomad2: <a href='http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/' target=_blank>http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/[/url]
Got a problem? Post it on the <a href='http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=4' target=_blank>Nomadness Linux Forum[/url]
btw all this came from the FAQ at the top of the boards

Zen micro and fm transmit

hey, I am looking at purchasing a zen micro and was wondering what people thought of it. also, can you get an fm radio transmitter(like on the ipod) for your car/home? Thanks

There are various old threads seeking opinions on the player, so I would take a look back. Generally it's well regarded, but asking this opinion on what is essentially a support board is likely to get you a lot of replies from people having problems. If you get one make sure you update to the latest firmware as there was a battery charging issue in the earlier firmware.
You can get a radio transmitter, but it will have to be a 3rd party one e.g. Belkin.

Zen Micro and Napster to

I just bought the Zen Micro and have updated my firmware as Napster to Go wants me too, but it seems like I have to update my firmware almost everytime I log on to Napster and try and download songs. Does nayone know fi this is an issue with Napster or with Creative. It sucks to have to update it everytime because then it wipes out everything on my Zen Micro and I have to download the playlists again. I'm new to all this too, so maybe it's something I'm doing wrong or missing? Help!
Also, is there another music download site that might work better with the Zen Micro?
I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

I'm not a serious tech head, but I know enough to use the stuff that I buy. Basically, mine doesn't recognize my player 00% of the time either, I usually just disconnect my player and restart... I guess the software and stuff is an inexact science. I figure that as long as you can transfer songs to the player then your cool, and it will usually allow you to do that.

Zen micro and media player

only just got my zen micro and i am having big problems sync from media player it keeps coming up with unknown error. has anybody else had this problem and is there a way to fix it's

dave_sg,
In addition, you could also update this patch from microsoft for your Windows Media Player 0 to enhance better DRM support.

Zen Micro and Napster to Go probl

I have the Zen Micro and use Napster to Go. I updated the firmware on my player yesterday since synchronizing my player has become very difficult. I have tried using both the Napster to Go and Windows Media Player 0 to do this. With Napster to Go I get a message that the player has stopped responding, usually within 0 minutes, and with WMP it never completes. After 2 hours, the synchronized is only at 8%. Also, I have many songs that show a license error, even though there appears to be no problem playing the songs and downloading on Napster to Go. It is becoming very frustrating. The computer seems to have no problem recognizing the player.
Also, if the battery is nearly dead and I hook the player to the computer, I can't try to sync at all until the battery is charged. Is this normal. I have used other players where if you plug them to the computer they are powered through the computer and charge while they are used.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you have any music on the player that's not on your hard dri've, move it back to the hard dri've now. (Since you just upgraded, that shouldn't be an issue; but since you're gonna reformat your dri've again, I'm just being 00% sure.) Then install the Windows hotfixes listed in the FAQs. Then go into recovery mode (remove battery, then hold power switch in On position while re-inserting battery until menu comes up); from there, choose Format.
If that doesn't fix your problem, go back to recovery mode, choose Reload Firmware, then re-run the firmware upgrade.

Zen Micro and XP S

Using 2..02 on my zen micro and windows does not see my player through the usb port. Is it true that I need to upgrade XP to service Pack 2? I'd like to avoid this if possible. Does anybody else use this firmware with SP ?Thanks!

SP2 conflicts with a lot of programs. Norton Ghost, several differenct firewall packages and even different peripherals will cease operation with the update.
Usually a re-install of the program and updating it solves the problem for many if not all programs and devices.

ZEn Micro and Vista Help Plea

Ok I have searched but anyways so I have a ZEN Micro and I just bought a new laptop that happens to have Vista on it. I know I need to update the firmware on my player to get Vista to recognize it, the thing is that I recently moved across the country and my XP machine is at one end of the US and me and my Vista are at another end so is there anyway for me to do this without needing an XP machine please say yes because I really dont want to buy a new players just because I can load a driver *frustration* any solution?

No, you can't must be Xp & WMP0 only to update firmware. What firmware version is on the player now? You might be able to use it on a Vista but you will only be able to drag & drop to it. No playlists, no syncing. Ask around somone where you are may have a XP computer. Maybe a computer repair shop?

Zen Micro and Vista? - Sol

I am trying to get my Zen Micro (DAP-MD0004) to work with Vista to no avail. It is loaded with the latest firmware (PlaysForSure - I dont think so!!!) and Vista picks it up and installs the driver no problem.However, if I try to view music through My Computer it doesnt show anything. Windows Media Player doesnt work either because its WMP. The sync windows just keeps saying to connect a device. I have installed Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer with plugin and even though it picks up my Zen, when I try to view my music it doesnt respond and I have to kill it.Has anybody got any advice for me I have already searched the forums for Zen Micro and Vista and I have found nothing to help me. Is Creative looking into the problem of people not being able to put music onto their devices

I have finally got it to work.Here is what I did for anyone that is having the same problem:
Boot the Zen to Recovery Mode (Remove battery, hold switch in on position, and insert battery)
Run a Clean Up
Run a Format
Reboot
Install Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer with PlaysForSure Plugin
Connect Zen Micro to computer and run MediaSource
You should now be able to copy music from your computer to your Zen.
I am disappointed that I couldn't copy my music off the device first but hey-ho.
I am also disappointed that the latest version of MediaSource requires you to purchase a pack to convert music to MP3.
It never fails to amaze me what businesses will do to try and get more money from us consumers.
