Unable to view Zen Micro library correctly in MediaSou

Hello everyone
I am running version 3.0.09 of Creative MediaSource and have installed the PlaysFor Sure upgrade. I have also installed firmware upgrade 2..2.0 to my Zen Micro.
My problem is as follows:
In the Creative MediaSource Organizer, when I select the Creative Zen Micro as my Source, I can only view the contents of my Zen as folders and files (i.e. it gives me a "Windows Explorer" type view of the contents) - I cannot view my Zen library in the same way as my PC Music Library (i.e. by Genre, Artist or Album).
I have searched the Knowledge Base and the support forums in vain for an answer to this. Please can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Mike O'Hara

we must say only one thing: the MediaOrganizer's team is only LAZY!!!
They allowed us to listen to the music from the ZenMicro throw MediaOrganizer, but they haven't coded the "organize" part!!!
It is not impossible to view again album/genre/artist, because the WinAMP team has just released a version that can do it, and can also modify the mp3's informations and upload/delete other MP3s. The only problem is that PFS doesen't allow the direct playback, and so WinAMP has not implemented it yet!
Why have you creative done a half-work? Why didn't you waited releasing the new firmware? Is it a money job?

My computer is unable to recognise Zen Micro as a dev

My PC adruptly fail to recognise my Zen Micro whenever I tried plugging into the USB port, I tried changing to other USB ports on my PC but still the problem persist. Tried restarting the PC and stuff... doesn't help.
I can't even upgrade to a newer firmware as the PC can't even recognise my device. Also tried reinstalling the driver, however it doesn't seems to help.
I believe the problem crop up after my sister tried downloading her zen micro with a new firmware, however this doesn't make sense as the program only update the firmware on her zen micro and should not change the PC configuration, my drivers or other stuff...
This is killing me as I cannot upload new songs to my player, anyone that know how to resolve the problem, please advise...
Thank you for your time and effort.
Regards
Ivan

It could be any number of things... There was a post earlier that mentioned "hanging" when connected to the pc... the resolution was to change the USB card... there are some USB connectivity issues... but you said that the problem stemmed from when you changed the firmware, or rather from when your sister changed the firmware for her zen micro to playforsure which usually requires you to change the creative media explorer for the micro to be recognized by the new software... The easiest way to try and resolve this, if your player was connecting fine before, is to do a system restore... that way in theory, all the programs that you have installed that could cause compatibility problems will be rolled back, at least that's what they say it does, but in my experience it's a hit and miss thing. So the thing that you should try is a system restore. Your computer should have set a restore point from when you installed the creative media explorer software, as it usually sets a restore point every time that you install a new program. So, I guess I would recommend that you go into system restore, which I believe is in the programs/accessories/system menu... and then restore your system to a point earlier than when you installed the creative media explorer software... If your player worked before, then in theory, it should work again once you make that change. Then your sister can try and reinstall the new firmware, and hopefully you can find a method by which you can both install it at the same time... I don't know how you would do this... but it's just my best guess at an informed response... better ideas will probably follow.

Tracks in Zen Micro not displaying in MediaSou

I have had a Zen Micro for about 6 months. Until recently there have been no problems. The player worked fine and interfaced great with the software applications. I recently bought a Micro Photo and installed the software for it on my pc. After I did so I began having problems with the original Micro. When I connect the Micro to the pc it shows as docked, MediaSource opens and asks me if I want to organize my files. The Micro displays in MediaSource but when I try to organize none of my tracks display. The tracks are on the player and play just fine. Also, when I tried to create a playlist on the player itself it tells me there is "no free space" although it shows I have 843MB of space left. Can anyone help me. I do not want to have to wipe the player clean and reload everything. There is too much on it.

When you update the firmware, you have to update the software. The latest version of Mediasource and the PFS driver is located on Creative's Download page.

Unable to view photos in library. I already rebuilt my tumbnail caches....

I am having the this problem: I can see the photos on the scroll in small view but when I click on a photo to make it large and view it there is a gray screen with a white dotted line around an exclamation point.
I rebuilt the thumbnail cache, as some earlier discussion suggested. BUT I DID RENAME AND MOVE SOME FILES BY MISTAKE from the Iphoto library, which I tried to revert to its original settings, but its still unnable to link the tumbnails to the photos. Is there anyway to recover my photos or at least be able to see new ones I take from now on?

Matencio:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are all of the photos that way or just some? If it's all then it's more than just messing with the library from the Finder that's at work here. If most of the photos are visible you can try following Tutorial #1 before creating a new library and importing the Originals folder from your current library.
If all photos are affected then you're looking at starting from scratch with a new library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Zen Micro and using front

Hey everyone,
First off I'd like to say I love my zen micro (white) although I'm having one problem, luckily nothing like the battery problem most of you have been experiencing, I'm not sure if anyone else was experiencing this but problem is connecting my Zen micro to the front USB ports in the front of my computer. Whenever I connect it in the front I get an error from Windows saying its an unrecognized USB device. So the only way to have it recognized and work properly is by plugging it into the back of the system. It doesn't even work as a removable dri've.
Now I know most of your initial thoughts are gonna be "Your front USB is faulty" or something along those lines. I know for a fact that it works, I've attached a number of devices to it such as my phone, digi cam, scanner, controller and others without any problems whatsoever. So any advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
james

orangelmo,
I have the same issue as you. It works on the 4 rear USB ports but not any of the front 4. All other devices work great on the front 4 (ie. Canon Camera, Sony DV Camera, Sandisk USB storage dri've, Joystick, mouse, keyboard etc.)
However, I tried using a differnt USB cable that I had laying around. It is a Sony brand one and is slightly shorter in length. It is a little more robust feeling, though, compared to the Zen Micro flimsy one. Using the Sony cable, the Zen Micro functions correctly using the front USB ports. My guess is the longer length of cable somehow affects the output signal strength of the front USB ports creating some errors.
My recomendation is to try a better quality USB cable. Hope it works for you.

ZEN micro - music library (artist and alb

Hi,
I just got the Micro for xmas and installed the software. I now have two issues. After converting all my iTunes songs into mp3s, the artist and album won't show up. I've right clicked my Folders tab to include the artist and album and it lists on my Details section for view but not in Creative Library...any suggestions?
I have hundreds of songs and going through each and everyone just to add artist and album will take forever.
Second and more importantly: My micro starts up and I'm able to hear the clicks in the touchpad but it won't do anything. It shows 3 demo songs but they won't even play. I connect the USB to the micro and it shows "NEW HArdware detected" then a few minutes later it says, "device not connected" - i'm gonna see if the store i bought it from has any suggestions but figured I would try here as well. Thanks!

. Chances are the converted songs don't have tag data. Use a tagging program to check, and add the required data. There's no real shortcut I'm afraid but a mass tagging program (which most are) should make easier work of it.
2. Sounds odd and like the player is faulty. Can you access the Rescue Mode to see if you can run a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise. I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.

I am unable to re-enable bonjour services to view my shared library on my PC from my Mac

I am unable to view my shared music library from my Mac on my PC (running Windows 7). When I check in the sharing preferences, it says "The Bonjour services has been disable. Bonjour is required to share music with others. Please re-enable the service to use this feature." Yet when I check the services in the system configuration, it says that Bonjour is enabled and running. I have also checked in the msconfig and it says Bonjour services are running. I have also performed a complete reinstall of iTunes and that did not help. I'm looking for a solution. Thanks.

Unable to view Single Source WebHelp properties, how to correct?

I am unable to view my Primary Layout single source webhelp properties in RH9. Several of the single source layout icons have "?" marks on them. How do I correct this? Thanks.

Hi Folks
If you ever noticed, the question mark is more of a standard symbol for "Help". Because RoboHelp is a help authoring tool, many of the icons sport a question mark. As Willam indicated, it doesn't mean that something is amiss, unfinished or undefined. Instead, it is simply the icon that represents the layout.
If you look in your Windows file system at any CHM file (a standard Windows help file) you will notice that it too has a question mark.
And the older WinHelp (.HLP) format (Pre-Windows 95) was a blue circle with a question mark:
Cheers... Rick

This stinks. My Zen Micro tries to rebuild library.. then..it says firmware probl

it's been doing this for ages.. any suggestions? It won't even load past that. Ever.

Hi, I am not sure if this will help you. I offered the same help to someone else. I had an issue where my Zen Vision M: was not recognized by my computer. I got lucky. I uninstalled all programs related to the zen. I then did a complete cleaning of the registry of all related zen vision m: instances. After that I reloaded all the software and when I hooked it up to my pc it recognized it. I am thinking something corrupts the computer. Like many other porgrams, even after a uninstall, a program may leave references in the registry. I used regseeker which is a free program. It does a great search for items left behind by programs. You can find it by doing a Google search. Or you can always use the regedit/run command in XP. As for your search I would obviously try "zen micro". I would stay away from using "creative", if you have any other creative product like a soundblaster you will have to sift through many entries if you do. After cleaning the registry, install the zen micro programs and hook it up and see what happens. I hope it works for you. Even though my was a Zen Vision M: I also had much the same problem including the firmware reload problem, the rebuiding library etc.Cas

Creative Zen Micro - Freezes when 'Rebuilding Library', does this spontaneous

I'll make this post short and sweet.
Yes, I have read the FAQ.
I'm just wondering, its happened to me twice now that when i turn on my zen micro, it goes straight to the rebuilding library screen, and when the bar gets to the end it just freezes. Replacing the battery does not help. Only until i attach it to my computer at home does the library finish rebuilding. And no, on both occasions the battery was not dead. I just found out now about recovery mode and disk cleanup.
Now, considering this disk cleanup fixes the problem next time it arrises, why is this problem happening in the first place? How can I avoid it from happening?
I'll probably be returning this product if I'm forced to replace the battery etc each time i want to use it.
Sorry for my broken english

I have had a very similar problem with my 5GB Zen Micro. I have not added music to the player in weeks but during a cold boot a couple of times a week the player will not start clean, many times hanging at the end of a library rebuild.
The player is always shutdown orderly, though most of the time it's via the 4 hour firmware shutdown included in the ..0 firmware. Each time it hangs I boot to rescue mode, run a clean-up, then reboot. During the reboot it always runs a successful rebuild, so I wonder, why didn't it do that last time and why does it keep acting up when nothing has been added or deleted to the player?
One additional note, sometimes during the boot it will hang with the ZEN screen only partially displayed.
I just deleted the firmware and reloaded ..0. Hopefully this fixes it, but stay tuned for updates...
Thanks,Doug

Unable to view downloaded library magazines on my ipad

If the library magazines are pdfs, you can. If not you cannot. If these are epubs supported by Adobe’s Digital Edition software, then you have to use a 3rd party application like Overview or BlueFire.
