My Zen Micro from 2004 di

It froze on me, as it often did when I had no battery left, so I took the battery out while it was still on. Usually I'll just put it back in and charge it and it will rebuild the library. When I did that, it was starting to rebuild and then the little line stopped and then it said Firmware Problem. Is there any way I can fix my Zen? I love it so much and it would be so annoying to put my music on a new mp3 player!

laur - the exact thing just happened to my 2004 zen micro a few days ago. the line stops too..
i guess they were only built to last to 2007? that's what im starting to think anyway.
E0Delta[color="#000000"] - where is this firmware software was it on the installation cd.. what is firmware?
thanks.

Charger of the Zen Micro from the States usable in Euro

Does anyone know if a Zen Micro from the States(0V) can be charged in Europe(220V) without problems? Or a player from the states in europe? Do I need an adapter?

Charging zen micro from mac powerbo

I know that Creative doesn't support Macs, but can I charge my Zen Micro via the USB port on my Powerbook? Even if I can't load music, etc, will it transfer a charge?
Alternately, will my charger work with an outlet in europe if i attach an adapter to it--and i mean just an adapter for the prongs not a voltage adapter?
thanks,
ed

Firmware 2.22 should be able to just charge as well as ..
So here's what you do to just charge via USB:
) Turn your Zen Micro off.
2) Switch the power switch to the hold position.
3) Plug the Micro to the powerbook's USB.
Then the Micro's display should say that it is charging.
Note: There's no software option to let the Micro only charge via USB; the only way is the way I described above (if not, please correct me).

Zen Micro - how to revert from 2.x to 1.x firmwa

I upgraded my Zen Micro from .x to 2.x but now need to go backwards so I can use the Zen with a
Windows2000 machine. Unfortunately, neither the XP machine on which I originally upgraded, nor the
Win2K machine will update the firmware. Worse yet, I used the recovery mode / reload firmware
command and now have a Zen with no firmware at all.
The Zen IS recognized by windows. XP Device Manager shows it under "Portable Devices" and brings up
a dialogue box whenever the Zen is attached. Win2K Device Manager Shows it under "Windows Portable
Devices". However, when I run the firmware update program, the program says the device is not connected.
I have read all the FAQs and posts on the subject (including http://forums.creative.com/showthrea...t=34337#M92998) but have not found any way of reloading ..0.
Can a moderator or admin please confirm if there is ANY way out of this situation? Thanks in advance.

Zen Micro freezing on connect

Hi
I just bought my Zen Micro today and had no problems with it at first. I charged it until it was fully charged and then plugged it into my computer. It was detected by the computer and everything seemed to be working well. I ran Media Explorer and imported some music into my Zen Micro. I disconnected my Zen Micro from the computer and tried out the music. Everything was fine.
So I decided to plug it back into my computer and import some more music. The Zen Micro was again detected. I run Media Explorer again but this time it indicates that the player isn't plugged in properly. At this time my Zen Micro had froze. So I took out the battery and tried it again. I plugged it into my computer and ran Media Explorer and I got the same result.
So I tried the Clean Disk method and rebooted. It still wouldn't work. I tried to download the firmware update but when I connected my Zen Micro to the computer and tried updating, the firmware program would indicate that my Zen Micro could not be detected even though Windows detected it. My Zen would also freeze up.
So this time I tried formatting it from the same menu with the Clean Disk option. It still didn't work. So I tried using the different USB ports on my computer and it still didnt work. So I went over to my brother's computer and sadly I got the same result. So I tried downloading the updated version of the Media Explorer. Even then I still got the same result.
Can someone please help me~? I really don't want to have to return this lovely player because I got the last Limited Edition box at the store I bought it at. ThanksMessage Edited by hakuto on 0-03-2005 06:38 AM

Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I too have ran into a brick wall where the Zen Micro will crash whenever connected to a PC (or mac at that), but will not crash when connected to the AC adaptor. This happens after multiple disk cleanups, formats, and even a firmware reload, although the problem still remains and now I cannot even load a firmware to the player. I also tried using another USB to Mini USB cable I have lying around, only to the same results.
Please help ASAP so I can finish this review...

Cheap and effective Zen Micro ca

Well today my zen micros protector sleeves tore in half and I was looking around for a replacement... I looked around and found a plastic card sleeve. I popped it in and it fits perfect!just the corners flap out but u can just tape it. It fits perfect and can protect your Zen Micro from scratching. D

hey, it IS pretty good
looks extremely cheap though..

My "7 days old" Zen Micro is dead..

I just buy a new Zen Micro from ebay last week... Now I have a problem with Power switch. I can't turn on/off... Can somebody tell me where is the nearest service center? I li've in Southampton, UK

Creative's European service center is in Dublin, Ireland; the number is available from the Creative UK site, or you can email them from there. And you'll probably need a paper (not email) receipt showing you got it from a legitimate retailer, or else you won't get warranty service. (A pitfall of buying from eBay...)

Zen Micro - Lost Installation CD: Please H

Hi All,?I have a Zen Micro from 2005. I recently reformatted my hard dri've and I no longer have the installation CD for the program. I saw alot of threads out there like this but I didnt see one for the Zen Micro (I know, its 2 years old). Anyway, I went to the download application page and there just seems to be alot of files to choose from. Can someone with knowledge of this subject please specifify exactly which files I need to download and install, and it what order, so that I can get back up and running normally again ? Thank you. Note: I did have WMP but installed it a/p a stuck thread. My comp now does recognize a Zen Micro?- its just looking for software for it - thanks again

^what firmware is your Zen Micro loaded with?
I use ..0 since I don't need it for subscription services or PlaysForSure.
As for software, I use Zen Micro Explorer Web Update to organize my ZM and Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
I don't use Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer, I find Zen Micro Explorer easier to use.
It's been a long time since I installed my Zen Micro on this computer, but if I remember correctly you install the software first and then connect the Zen Micro.
Mine has never given me trouble, so I'm not much help at trouble-shooting them. :|

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.

Zen Micro 1.11.01 firmware prob

I updated the firmware on my Zen Micro from .02 to ..0 the other day, and since the upgrade, I have actually been getting MORE battery drain when the player is not in use. And when I say more battery drain, I mean it is full one day, then less than 2 days later, the batter is so dead that the player won't turn on. In fact, my player was plugged in to my computer last night to charge, and the battery actually drained down to about a bar from full charge overnight. My player isn't that old.... less than 6 months, it isn't subjected to any harsh conditions (it usually just sits in my dorm room), and I always charge through my computer, so it isn't the problem with the wall charger.
PLEASE HELP!

Yes it will delete all of your music on your player. It's basically formatting your player, but it deletes the FW on your player, and this is why you are going to have to connect it to your computer right after you select that option.

Zen Micro Power Adapter Missi

I just bought my Zen Micro from Circuit City, and really dig it so far. One thing I noticed is that Circuit City's website says the AC power adapter and a belt clip/stand are included as part of the package. When I got the box home, they weren't included. I called Circuit City who said their website was wrong; they, however, will reduce my price by $30 to compensate. Good, I thought. So then I tried ordering the power adapter directly from Creative, but it says they're on backorder. What gives? Anyone know? Thanks.

It's best that you get an AC adapter, especially if you are not on the computer for long periods of time. Without the AC adapter, the charging may take up to 0 hours, depending on your computer. I have tried it and found that it only took 3 to 4 hours, but this reading is taken from a desktop PC.
Most Zen Micros do not come with AC adapters and belt cli
ps.
This is especially so for the 4GB and 6GB ones. I advice you to get one as soon as possible, they are really convinient.

Zen micro second hand bu

Hello i have never owned a creative mp3 before so the system is new to me i bought a zen micro from a friend but it doesn't have the cover to the battery,software/firmware, or charger its just the mp3 but i wanted to ask what software/firmware do i need to make it work ?And where can i get it's Iam running windows xp home edition on my computer. The player turns on but it goes to a screen that has:
CREATIVE ZEN MICRO V0.0.58
.CLEAN UP
2.FORMAT ALL
3.RELOAD FIRMWARE
4.REBOOT
and that's all it does, i cant get it to get out of that screen my computer doesn't recognize the player and i have it connected with a regular 2.0 USB cable can the battery charge like that? As soon as i unplug the cable the player lasts for a couple seconds and it turns off i have left it connected for a while and it does the same when its connected it has a little battery sign with a lightning bolt through it on the top right hand side what does this mean?
well thanks everyone that reads and i hope some one can help me out please.. TTYL... Thanks again :smileyvery-happy: Agustin Guzman.Message Edited by new2thegame on 05-8-2006 05:03 PM

the player does work with WMP0.
You can choose to install the bundled drivers, and use either the bundled media software (mediasource) or WMP 0. That's the way of working with firmware line .x.
Another option, requiring firmware line 2.x, is to strictly use Win XP + WMP0. Under firmware 2.x, the device becomes a "PlaysForSure" "MTP" device. That means that you don't have to install extra drivers, and that WinXP + WMP0 is your mode of operation.
Also for storing DATA, there are 2 options: either put data in a data folder on the player (which requires the driver or firmware 2). Or you create a "removable disc" area. That is a standard protocol, which makes the "removable disc" appear as a dri've letter on most operating systems. This is more standard (no drivers at all needed), but this "removable disc" is NOT for songs. You can't play songs that are stored in this area, on the disc.
hope that's clear :-) on 2nd thought, it's a bit complicated with the various options...

Zen Micro hanging on firmware upgr

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade the firmware on my Zen Micro from .02.05 to ..0, but the application sticks at "Upgrading in progress," for 0-5 minutes until I crash out. The player just shows "Docked" and the in progress black arrows.
Any suggestions on how I can complete the upgrade? Is it advisable to remove the previous firmware using the Reload Firmware option and then run the upgrade application, or will this really mess up my Micro?
All advice appreciated
Many thanks

I'm on version 2..02 right now, a hanging when syncing problem led me to reload the firmware but the player hangs. Now I'm getting a "firmware problem" screen when powering up the player.
I tried upgrading to the same version or to .xx.xx last version, but there is a firmware upgrade failed problem or a hanging after "format successfull" problem, respecti'vely.
Reading this thread, tried disabling every program at startup, but the result is the same. Tried in two different computers, with XP SP 2 and windows media player 0 and .
Any suggestion after this? My player is more than year old, so customer support won't listen to me.

Zen Micro and Eur

Hi everybody. I'm new to these forums
I'm from Spain and I'd like to buy a Creative Zen Micro in the US, since it's much cheaper (you know, the dollar and euro thing). But I'm not totally decided and I have some questions that maybe somebody will be able to answer:
? Can be the language of the menus changed? It includes that option or it needs some kind of firmware update?
? What is the interval between FM radio stations? Are them pair or odd? I mean, in Europe the FM radio stations are pair frequencies (9.0 or 92.6, for example), but I think that in the US they're only odd frequencies, as for example 9. or 92.5. Could this be updatable by a new firmware? Or maybe the Zen Micro moves by all the frequencies (9., 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 ...)?
? If I get a Zen Micro from the US and it has a problem with it and it's still in warranty, do I have to send it back to the US? Or could I contact some local Creative retailer?
? What do you know about shipping costs and customs taxes to the EU? Do you know it's worth ordering the Zen Micro in the US from Spain?
Sorry if my English is bad :P
Thanks in advance, and have a Merry Christmas )
Mart?n

Hey Melado, I'm from Spain and I got mine a couple of weeks ago at around 250e, don't know how much you'd save by ordering it from US, but I guess the money you'll save because of the change between dolar/euro will be little more than the one you'll be paying for shipping, so like SSR said I wouldn't bother. As for your questions, you can change the language settings of the player (5 supported), and the tunning of the radio moves by all frequencies (90. 90.2 90.3....)
