N200 - Win2000 transfer prob

Dunno if anyone has had this problem. Got an N200 a month ago, had loads of problem with it until I updated to the new firmware. I've tried it on 3 computers which all have XP and it works like a dream, can copy files to and from it with no problems.
But when I use it on my PC with Windows 2000 Pro (with ServicePack4 installed), I can transfer files from it but can't transfer to it. I've read the forums and tried several things (renaming mp3 file, uninstalling drivers and reinstalling drivers, etc etc). I tried to transfer just one mp3 to a folder and it got halfway through (58%) and just froze. I took ages for my computer to kick back into life again and an error message popped up saying it couldn't write to dri've. I then tried to safely remove the dri've but said i couldn't as in use and to try later. I then unplugged it, replugged it in and now it doesn't recognise it (it's gone back to the standard usb driver, like it's deleted the muvo drivers). I reinstall the muvo drivers and reboot, it now recognises the N200 again. Try copying a file to it again and the whole sorry process starts again.
It must be a win2000 thing or something, as it's works like a dream on XP. But before anyone suggests it, can't afford XP at the moment!! I have usb ., if I could get a USB 2.0 card would it be more reliable? I dunno, can anyone tell I'm now clutching at straws!!!!

Thank you again for your quick reply.
-Yes I've been using Win Explorer to drag and drop my WMA files and that worked before my f/w update.
-I ripped my own WMA files with Win. Media Player 0 @ 92kps with "Copy protect music" unchecked.
-I have just tried to use the WMP0's Sync function to copy the files instead. I noticed an xml file being copied. However, when I try to play the songs, the same problem is still there.
-I would try with Media Source or the MuVo N200 Media Explorer, but my paths/filenames/songnames are a mix of Chinese, English and Japanese, and Creative software doesn't recognize them (can't access the file from Media Explorer). If I change my regional settings, I can only choose one language at a time + english. (Also interestingly, the MuVo correctly displays all these lanugages in the LCD but doesn't work with PC software)
Is there anywhere I can find a previous version of firmware, other than .6 and .5?
Thank you again.

MuVo N200 File Transfer Probl

So, I just got a new MuVo N200. After installing the MuVo Drivers, I tried to drag and drop .mp3 files to the dri've in Windows Explorer. After a couple of files transfer, the transfer hangs, and then a windows error pops up from the system tray saying that a USB device has become unresponsi've/unrecognizable, and click here to troubleshoot (which is of course worthless). The MuVo is now locked up at this point, and removing the battery is the only way to get it out of 'USB mode'. I have tried wiping everything Creative from my computer and reinstalling the software (short of running regedit and deleting all creative regkeys), I have flashed to the newest firmware .2.0, both with and without the 'Format Data Area' option, I have also formatted the MuVo as FAT32 through windows explorer, however this problem still persists. I'm going to finally upgrade my computer to WinXP SP2 (only have SP now), but I don't think this will solve my problem, as it seems to be the MuVo that is at fault (all my other USB devices, including other mp3 players work fine). Does anyone have any ideas as to other fixes I might try, or am I looking at an RMA?
Also, I purchased this through amazon.com, so I'm assuming I need to handle this as an RMA through creative, not through a return process with amazon.com, correct?Message Edited by SLOROJO on 06-3-2005 0:6 PM

I have been through some USB woes' (as SSR is aware) and don't dispair yet. What does worry me is that other MP3 players work. Make sure that is the case even after your last set of changes. Drag an equivlant amount of files to the other MP3 players. Be equal in your testing. I was able to drag a 20K file to my N200 .. but a 2MB file would get hosed.
Having said that, for me, the N200 works without instaling any of the drivers or Media explorer. I agree, go to another W2k or XP machine, plug it in and drag about 00MB of files to the N200 when it shows up on the explorer. If that works fine, then there are many ways to clean up your USB stack. Not sure if it's a USB2 issue .. and SSR has dealt with that.
I had a situation where another USB driver was interfereing with my USB phone sync program. Cleaned up all USB device drivers, and it worked fine. With W2k SP4 or XP2, have not had too many issues.

N200 f/w prob

Hi,
I've just bought the GB MuVo Micro N200 in January 2005. It has been working properly with a few glitches (eg. it sometimes won't play some files and freezes). I've noticed the .5 and .6 firmware, so I tried to install them to see if they solve any problems.
I followed the instructions to install the "Player Recovery Device" or something like that.
Q) What does this do? I don't seem to be able to access any menu or options that allows me to tune or otherwise manage the N200.
After installing the driver, I tried both .5 and .6, which both doesn't work.
With .6: After installing and formatting the data area, I've put some WMA files into the device, the same files from before the firmware update. What I've got when I disconnect and turn on the device is: Creative screen, N200 screen, Hourglass screen asking me to wait, unit turns off.
After a few more attempts to re-load the firmware, I still have the same problems. So I tried .5, which should be the same except for Thai support (which I don't need).
With .5: After installing and formatting, again I put the same WMA files that worked before. This time, when I turn on the device: Creative screen, N200 screen, then shuts off. Again, I've tired to reload the firmware a couple of times with the same results. I've noticed that with NO files in the device, it seems to operate properly, just telling me "No Music", but I was able to go to the menu and tune the volume, etc.
Also, I've noticed that I do no need to follow the Recovery procedure to install the firmware (holding the play button, etc). Anyway I've followed the proper procedure when updating firmware just in case.
I'm really reluctant to have to send the device in and pay for repairs. I really hope it's just the firmware because it was working right before the update.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Zen Nano Plus transfer prob

Am having trouble transferring .wma files to my Zen Nano Plus even though it has 590MB free. When I try to transfer anything using Creative Source I keep getting a "transfer error" message. Have tried reorganising files into folders to cut down on memory used in the root folder - but it doesn't seem to help. It's even stopped letting me transfer between folders. Has anyone else had this problem.. Anyone know what to do??

I'm having the exact same problem with my Nano Plus, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. I contacted technical support and they told me to download the Firmware update and gave me these directions:
Zen Nano Plus Firmware Update:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=2720&dlcentric=9423&Product_ Name=ZEN+Nano+Plus&OSName=Windows+XP
To install this firmware upgrade, do the following:
- Connect your player to your computer.
- Double-click the firmware upgrade file.
- When prompted to set your player in Recovery mode, disconnect your player from your computer.
- Press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to your computer's USB port.
- Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player to your computer.
- Release the Play button when the "Find New Hardware" dialog box appears on the computer screen.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to install recovery drivers for your player.
- Double-click the firmware upgrade file and follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure to select the "Format Data Area" option within the Update.
However, at step 6 my computer did not recognize my player with it being on and neither did the Firmware. I responded to Technical Support and told them this. They said it seemed like it needed repaired or replaced! Even though there is a -year warranty, there is only a 3 month labor warranty, which means if you send it in to get fixed and it has passed the 3-month labor warranty, you have to pay a $24.95 diagnostics and handling fee. If you're in this situation, they said the best thing to do is try to exchange it wherever you bought it first. I hope this helps!

HT4053 4 to 5 transfer probs.

Hi,
I'm trying to transfer all my iphone 4 content to an iphone 5. doing it through itunes and it is asking me for different ID with certain apps and on icloud less than half of the apps restore on the new phone.
anyone got some idea how I could just transfer all my old to new without losing so much.

It sounds like some apps were purchased using one (or more) different Apple IDs. You do not own those apps, so you will need to obtain the permission of the owner to use them.
The way to do that is for the Apple ID owner of the apps not owned by you to "Authorize This Computer" in iTunes on your computer. You can find the "Authorize This Computer" link under "Store" in the iTunes menu.
Have the owner authorize your computer using their Apple ID and password, then sync to your iPhone.

Zen MicroPhoto connection problem/file transfer prob

My wife had a Zen MicroPhoto player that she used for audiobooks. About a month ago it started having "no device found" problems with the Media Explorer. She bought a new player, and it's no better. The Media Explorer will not install. I tried installing it separately, and the installation hangs, because it cannot find the player. She is using the Organizer now to transfer files, but she much prefers the Explorer. Many of the audiobook discs have the same file names (e.g., Track , Track 2, Track 3,....,etc.). When that happens, with the second and subsequent disks, she gets a message asking whether to replace or skip the duplicate files; the file names are the same, but the disks have different album names. Is there a workaround for this?

I thought Creative's customer support was bad, but this "discussion forum" sucks big time -- not a single reply. Thanks....

Zen touch transfer prob

Hi, I'm running win2k usb2.0. I'm only able to transfer about 7 mp3 files before nomad tells me that an unknown failure occurred. The zen touch then stays in docking modus and I have to reboot it. Can someone tell me why that is?

Could be a lot of reasons. Have?a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

Strange file transfer prob

We have two Creative units, a Muvo and a Zen. Using the Creative Library software we can download (totally legal) music to the Zen but the Muvo gives error messages about insufficient information to transfer files. Some files have gone over easily and the Muvo appears to have plenty of spare space. Any ideas please?

Just today I got the following error:
"There is not enough disk space at the destination for this transfer."
I attempted to select all of the music files on my NOMAD to transfer to a new empty folder on my HDD. I used the options within MediaSource to create a new PC library. Then proceeded to initiate the transfer when the error message occurred.
If I select less than 300 hundred songs the transfer works, but selecting several thousand songs fails.
I have over 00Gb of space on the HDD when I was attempting to transfer all of my music from my NOMAD Zen Xtra 30Gb.
I use WinXP Professional with all known updates.
My HDD uses the NTFS file system.
I also use a RAID array comprised of two 250Gb Western Digital RAID edition Caviar SATA dri'ves.
I am using Creative MediaSource 3.30.2
My NOMAD Zen Xtra uses firmware .03.02

ZenTouch - Transfer prob

Hi,
I?ve a problem with my 20G ZenTouch. I?m using the play for sure firmware (feels like a big mistake). Most of the time my player is recognized by the system but when trying to transfer mp3?s to the player it starts to copy one ore two songs and then suddenly stops, saying i?ve to reconect my device wich is not possible only if i reboot the player. The problem comes with the mediaplayer0, mediamonkey or when i just try to drag and drop.
idea anyone ?
Thanks

Look at the FAQ at the top of the board and specifically check for "I can't seem to fit any more files on my flash player yet I have free space, why?"

MuVo transfer prob

I tried to transfer 8 songs onto my MuVo - 4 from CD's and 4 protected downloads from MSN Music using WMP. When I check the MuVo dri've in Windows Explorer, all 8 songs are present. When I disconnect the player to listen, only the 4 songs from CD's are on the player. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

jb207,
In addition to Mattan advice, you will also need to transfer WMA DRM protected files through either Mediasource or Windows Media Player to the player. Only such application allow the license to properly transfer over to the player.

Creative zen micro transfer prob

When using Napster to transfer songs to my zen micro mp3 player the following happens.
License storgae is not working.Contact microsoft product support.
When I hit click here for more information nothing happens.
It has worked previously without any problems! Can anybody help??

Here is a list of things to check:
) Confirm you have Windows Media Player 0 installed on your XP SP or later system.
2) Confirm your Zen Micro has the latest 2.x firmware (2..02 Beta or later). The .x firmware does not support N2G. Download the 2..02 Beta firmware from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads
3) Confirm KB8922 "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players" is installed on your XP SP or later system with WMP 0. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922 for details.
4) Confirm your Zen Micro's system time is synched to the system time of your computer.
5) Confirm XP and the Napster client recognize your Zen Micro is connected. It should display under the "Portable Device" object in the "Library" window of the Napster client. The Zen Micro Display should read "Docked". See if you can transfer files using WMP 0. Confirm the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer version .00. ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads ) can access your Zen Micro. Can it transfer tracks to the device?
6) Confirm your firewall is not interfering with the connection to Napster or to the internet for current date and time. Consider disabling firewall, Antivirus, and Spyware Scanners as a diagnostic step to troubleshoot your transfer issue.
7) Consider reinstalling Windows Media Player 0 and KB8922.
8) Check the USB cable connection. Determine the USB chipset on your system. There are forum threads where users resolved transfer problems by installing a new USB Adapter with a different chipset or determined the problem was the USB cable. You can also troubleshoot by attempting the transfer on another computer (if available).

Song Transfer Prob

I have recently downloaded legally American Pie by Don Mclean and Beginnings by Chicago . These songs are both more than 7 minutes long each and when I transfer both songs , it both register either 00:00:00 or 00:00:6 . Is there a way to correct this problem? I have tried almost everything even converting from MP3 to wma .

It works but it has little or no total time after it transferred. 3 songs has 00:00:00 as the total time on my Nomad Jukebox 2 LX. It plays but I can't fast forward unless I use the EAX with time-scale above .00x.

Zen V+ Transfer Prob

I'm using Yahoo Music Jukebox to transfer music to my zen and it was working fine but about a week ago it start to become a bit funky. Whenever I'd transfer music it would be fine but when I disconnected my player the new music would not show up. When I reconnect the player the added music has this weird file name that says: StorageMedia and then the song and artist name. What is going on? This is just randomly started happening and its getting a bit frustrating because I can't add any new music. Help! Suggestions?

Although my Zen is manufactured in China also, let me tell you a story.
Something like that happened to me with an iPod Nano (I know it's not a Creative player, but read on) when I tried to update its firmware. I bought it from eBay ... and since you have to "register" iPods with Apple before you can d/l upgrades, I typed in my serial number ... only to be told that it was not an authentic iPod. I had always thought it was odd that the menu on my Nano looked different than the photos on Apple's site, but thought it would change after the upgrade. I have an acquaintance who bought a bunch of PC memory boards in China and sells them on eBay ... as the real thing ... but they're really imitation rip-offs ... but the outside looks exactly like the real thing ... including somewhat legit looking serial numbers. There's a city in China where you can buy these clones of almost everything electronic.
Did you buy your zen from a store ... or from eBay? I'm not saying that you have one of these "fake" copies, but the way yours is acting ... well... Of course, I don't know how you determine if it's a REAL or FAKE zen since Creative doesn't force us to register our players.

N200 firmware update prob

I recently downloaded the new firmware update (.5.0) for my N200 and I like the improvements but the one problem I am having is that I can only sync about 533mb (06 songs) on to my gb player. This never happened before I downloaded the ubdate. I have even made sure that I have not organized the songs into folders. Has anyone run into this problem, if so can you help correct it's
Thanks

Ok, this is my current problem with my N200. I am using WMP 0 to sync music into it's gb capacity. I have set up WMP 0 to create a folder hierarchy on the device. I then simply selected about 245 songs at 28kbps to sync onto my player. After I have done this WMP shows that I have 989.54mb of memory used up on my N200. At this point everything looks normal. When I turn on my player and check the Information section, it states that there are 7 songs on the player with 989.54mb of memory used. It also displays that there are only 45 folders on the player when WMP shows far more then that.
I haven't tried drop and draging that many files from Windows Explorer. That it is besides the point since I should be able to do this on WMP. It looks as if the N200 is having trouble displaying all of the songs.
I hope that helps shed some light.
