Need help with Zen Micro Photo: It stays in recovery m

Just recently, my zen micro photo has been staying in recovery mode. I have tried all of the four options available? to me in recovery mode. .) Clean up 2.) Formatt All 3.) Reload Firmware? 4.) Reboot. When I try "Reload Firmware". It doesn't really "reload". All it does is erase the current firmware, which it has done several times. My computer doesn't really realize the player. It doesn't allow me to acess my songs, which have already been deleted. It says the "Player is not connected". At first, I thought I needed to charge. I charged it to maximmum. The battery is "FULL". Also, the firmware update doesn't recognize the player either. Whenever I select the reboot option, my player reboots to recovery mode. This does no good, as I have tried all of the available options in recovery mode, and they have done no good. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Message Edited by Damaniscool on 04-2-200707:29 PM

  • Need help with Zen Micro and Win

    Hi,
    I bought a Zen Micro 2 days ago and I can't get it to work with my Win XP machine.
    I did what was told in the manual: install the software first then plug the player.
    When I plug the player in I get the following message:
    Found New Hardware:
    Zen Micro
    According to the manual, it should be detected and the drivers installed automatically.
    But it dosen't. Instead I get the Wizard that try to find the drivers and it dosen't find them.
    I let the battery get a full charge and I tried again. Same results.
    I tried to update the firmware but since the player is not detected that didn't work.
    I also tried to get the new MediaSource/Zen driver (ZENM_PCAPP_LB_4_00_8_PDE.exe) but that didn't fix my problem either.
    I also tried to install the Creative Zen Micro Driver version .27.02 but it tell me that I can't install it because the user I tried to install it with is not an administrator. But this is not true since there is only one user on this machine and it's the administrator. First software that tell me this.
    I'm using XP Home with SP2.
    Thanks for the help.

    The reason it won't install is because the drivers aren't installed.
    I've seen a very few others with this strange error about administrati've pri'veleges, so I'm wondering if it's a Windows issue here. You could try downloading the drivers from to see if this is any different.
    Try creating another administrator account and see if it will install from that, and try searching back (perhaps someone had found a solution). I think there's also a way of running a program with forced pri'veleges, perhaps Google can turn something up on that.
    I remember one user needs to change some rights of the registry in order to install the software. It looks like under some cases, the login account does not have sufficient rights to write registry.

  • Problems with Zen Micro Photo being recognized

    I have a Zen Micro Photo 8 GB player, which I have had for a couple of years, and have had no problems. I recently purchased a new computer, and have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. I have installed the Creative Zen software from the supplied CD, and when I plug in the player and turn the player on, and open Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer, it says "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to your computer."? The player has firmware .20.0. The player plays well - ... Any suggestions?

    Thanks. In addition to the OS and firmware I noted, I have Windows Media Player 0 installed on the computer.
    Did that help you to get the player recognized?

  • Dummy needs help with zen mi

    I recently purchased a new laptop with widows vista and I had had xp before. My computer tells me that the driver is not supported or rather that the driver is not found. Know i've been searching around for info and i saw that there are many posts on this subject, however most of the post are way to advance for me to understand.. can anybody please explain to me in Dummy language how to get my zen micro to work with the windows vista pleeease and be patient with me im way to dumb for any big computer talk lol thanks for anyone who might help me.

    Hi, the answer may not be as simple as you would like ...
    Vista needs the Zen (insert older model) to have its firmware changed to Version 2.x which is referred to as MTP or media transfer protocol. If you do this it is a one way change meaning you cannot go back. That could be good or bad depending on a number of things but for simplicity, let's say you only have a Vista computer. You will need to go to MTP firmware. The catch is that you can only do that under a computer running Windows 2K or XP.
    So ... find someone with a 2K or XP computer with an open USB port. Browse to Creative.com's download section adn download the Zen drivers (these install onto the computer so that the computer can recognize the Zen Micro), and download the latest ver 2.x firmware for the Micro. Install the drivers and reboot. Then upon restarting plug in the Micro and let Windows do its thing about finding new hardware. Once that is done and OK, run the firmware installer. During this time, do nothing to the computer or the Zen. If the process interrupts you could end up needing to send the player back for a repair.
    Let the firmware install and when completed unplug from that computer and go over to your Vista computer. Plug in and you should be able to manage the Zen from Windows Media Player. Or install Creative Media Source 5 and its plug in modules and you will be up and running.
    Good luck!!

  • I need help -- my zen micro doesnt w

    first of all, sorry for my bad english..im brazilian, and i got my zen micro 5gb (black) in last week..i really enjoyed it!! so funny, functional, and practice, etc.. whatever, yesterday i was listening and a went in menu to turn on back lights.. and it works.. the lights turned on.. but the player has stopped.. doesnt respond any action..then, i tried so many times displugin the batery.. but when initialize stopped on CREATIVE logo. copyrightt 2004... already tried connecting on pc.. but nothing.. last night.. i wait the battery went down.. but when i put it to recharge.. shows the same problem.. i really dont know what should i do..so.. is this.. if anyone could help me i will be so happy..thanks a lot

    Oi!
    Tried a disk cleanup? To run a Disk Cleanup you need to access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro. To access the Rescue Mode: remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position and KEEP IT HELD TO "ON" while reinserting the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

  • Need Help Urgently Zen Micro "Firmware Problem&qu

    Hello,
    I've had my Zen Micro for a year now and due to a "screw up" when i start my player it displays the error "Firmware Problem" and start up in recovery mode. When I try to reload the firmware the update application on my pc it says "Your player is not connected" now can I fix this so I can start using my wonderful Zen again?
    PC Specs If needed: Windows Media Center Service Pack 2

    Thanks for the reply, but that firmware download doesn't work for me. As I said in my original post, my player is not recognized as being connected when it is. It is not my computer because Jukebox opens up when it detects the device and it is listed among my removable hardware.
    I've downloaded the software, but nothing happens after the "select your language" prompt. It just says "Your player is not connected please connect your player" with a grayed out 'Upgrade' button and a darkened 'Close' button. I've tried unplugging and reconnecting the USB, but it still doesn't recognize that it's there.
    Anyone else have an idea?Message Edited by lizzievee on 02-04-2007:29 AM

    You have to create playlists using Creative MediaSource Organizer. Playlists can't be made and named in the ZM. Hope this helps!
    You can make playlists on the player also, although it's much harder and there's very little control over editing. See this thread.

  • Help with Zen Micro installat

    I bought a Zen Micro and came home extremely excited, having previously owned a Zen Xtra 30GB complimented by an Audigy 2 soundcard. I put in the installation cd; as the drivers for the Micro are being installed, it stops at 99% saying "Jukebox Driver" and an error message. It then says: "Do you wish to continue with installation?" I've tried yes and no. With both answers, my player does not get detected. I've tried uninstalling and installing several times. I went on the support site and downloaded the Driver update. When installing that, the installation stops at 87% and again gives me the same message.
    Please someone tell me how to fix this so I can enjoy my Micro.

    My Quicktime is completely up to date with all updates. As for downloading the latest drivers, I said I already tried that for Zen Media Explorer. Being I'm on dialup, I really do not have the patience to do the same for Mediasource as it's a 30MB+ file. I also had Mediasource previously from Audigy 2 and my Zen Xtra, so I don't see why that would be the problem.
    Apologies, I missed that last sentence.
    Aside from ZMME have you download the latest DRIVERS though? i.e. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
    Please, someone tell me what I should do. The very first time I installed, Windows detected it, but that has nothappened since. I've also tried going in through Add New Hardware in the control panel, but Windows cannot find the drivers on the CD or on the internet. So I'm truly lost in what I'm supposed to do.
    The drivers are located in C:\Program Files\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers, try pointing the driver update there (or at least check the directory exists and has files in it). Of course if the drivers have not extracted properly this might be your issue.
    Also try installing the drivers from Windows Safe Mode.

  • I need help with my phone getting it out of recovery mode

    i need help getting my iphone out of recovery mode

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Need help with backed up photos-now cannot view..?

    Using iphoto 6, super duper, seagate external hd. Drive has already been set-up and backed up several times-been working well........until.......
    Last night, I saw that out of 120gb I have about 5gb left on my G4.!
    "decided" to back-up iphotos and "delete" some on my G4 to reserve more space.
    Now, if I go to the external and click on pictures folder, I can see all of my originals folders (2002-2008), but when I open iphoto, they are not in iphoto.?
    On my G4, it's the same thing, but worse! When I tried to delete my photos, I was holding the apple key and selecting multiple items, then dragging them to the trash.......I'm sure you have done this yourself before, but It drug them a little, then them "dropped" into other places in the same folder-NOT the trash! They are in all different places in the pictures folder, and not in the same places they used to be......!!!
    I've read about "re-constructing" the library. Will this work? I do not want to do any more damage. They are there-I know it!
    So, I drug the entire library of "originals" back into iphoto, but ALMOST all of the way through (got down to 100 out of 8,000 photos) and got a message that says "an error occured while trying to save your iphoto library. Make sure you have enough hard disk space and that iphoto is able to access the iphoto library folder."
    I look at my hd space, and I have about 500mb left....?
    What does this mean? I THINK I don't have enough hd space to do it now. What the **** should I do? Getting a little frustrated at this point. I am off tomorrow and want to get it fixed up.
    8,000 of my childrens photos is nothing to "play" with. I can't believe I was so stupid with these. These mean the world to me, and I'm pretty sure they are still there. Obviously they are because about 60gb of hd space is being used up with my photos according to the program "what size?" I downloaded to use.
    Where to start?
    First, thanks for reading this, and second---could someone help me out some?
    Could someone please post a link to help me to correctly partition the seagate external hd, and get these photos backed up?
    Also, what is the best way to free up my hd space on my G4? I also have a mini with 60gb of storage if I need additional hd space. In addition, I have an iphone, itouch, imac, 3 nanos, ipod hi-fi,,,,,,,Obviously, I LOVE my Apple products, but don't have enough knowledge to operate them.....kinda sad, huh?

    This is the iPhoto '08 forum (version 7.x.x) and you may very well get incorrect answers to questions about other versions - it would be better to post in the iPhoto 6 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1116

    So I understand that you originally thought incrementing (i) would somehow update (icon) since it uses (i) in an expression. But now you hopefully know this is not a magical expression language.
    I bet you would have also thought that this:
    int x = 1;
    int y = 2;
    int z = x + y;
    x = 42;
    y = 58;would have ended up with z having the value 100? It doesn't. It did the math once, when it executed the expression (x + y) and stored it in the variable (z). So z == 3, regardless of what happens to x or y after the fact.
