Zen MIcro:Auto power off and USB charg

i wanna know whether the zen micro has an auto off feature. also, can it be charged via USB?Thanx

When you say auto off, do you mean that it turns off when it's idle? If so, then yes, it does. Otherwise post up more detail and I'm sure someone can answer your question.
The Zen Micro can charge over USB aswell, but remember this will take longer than with the power adapter.

Does iPod not auto power-off when audio is paused?

Hello,
I fully recharged the iPod. I played about an hour and a half of audio. i am called to dinner, so I hit the Pause button. 2 hours later, I come back to the iPod, and the battery guage shows almost empty. And the screen was still on. (Backlight was off). The hold switch was at the off position.
Doesn't the iPod auto-power off (screen goes off) a few minutes after pressing the pause button?I'm afraid that it's because my iPod's display was still on that the battery was depleted.
(Then again, I may be wrong in saying that the screen was still on when I got to the iPod 2 hours later, maybe my finger touched the scrollwheel upon holding the iPod. I'm not sure. If this was the case, I still don't know why the battery level shows empty.)
For you guys, how long does it take for your iPod's screen to auto-power-off?
I have a theory.
The iPod won't auto-power-off (and therefore save battery life) if an audio is set to pause.
Is this theory correct or not?

My 30 Gig 5G iPod did the exact same thing the other day, which would've been shortly after I updated it to 1.2. I did a reset and after that it's been behaving normally, shutting down after being paused for awhile. So, try a reset and see how it goes.

Zen Micro lose Power when Switched OFF??

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me. I fully charged my Zen Micro last night and then left it and just switch it on for the first time now (8 hours later), and the battery indicator shows 2 bars left?
Seems like the Zen Micro loses power even when switched off!?!
Can anyone confirm that this is the case and whether I can do anything to stop it from happening? Is this normal with Hard Dri've MP3 player or only with the Zen Micro?
Thanks.

<EDIT: (April st, 2005):<<FONT color=#330000>JazzMC has taken the initiati've and written a sort of FAQ and put together a website with all the information to date gathered in one place regarding this power drain of the Zen Micro while off (in standby). It's a great read for those who want more information about the subject and probably easier than wading through this thread.<FONT color=#330000>You can view the document by clicking here: <Zen Micro Power Loss<. <FONT color=#330000>Thanks JazzMC!
Ditto here. I did do a disk cleanup last week and the micro seems to be holding it's charge longer now. It's still draining the battery while sitting idle though according to the bar indicator, but slower (go figure?). This is my only real issue with the Zen Micro as I love it otherwise!
One wierd thing I noticed was I charged it full then left it sit for about 3 days (checking it off and on) then on day 3 it was at one bar. So I plugged it into my home sterio and turned it on to see how long it would play for. I was really surprised to see it last a few minutes shy of 9 hours...
Could this be a battery calibration thing instead of it just loosing charge? Like the meter misreads the batteries actual charge over time instead of it loosing power?
Donno it's wacky, please fix Creative!

Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off

My Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off. It shows the empty battery icon when I press the shutter button, even the battey is fully charged. If I remove the battery and insert back it will resume to work. Any one had the same experience and know how to resolve it?

The power switch is actually a "software" switch. It's not like a light switch in that it doesn't actually provide or deprive the camera of power... only removing the battery will deprive the camera of power. This is why it doesn't actually just go dark when you switch off power... instead you'll usually see it perform a sensor clean cycle and then power down. The camera is technically in a kind of "sleep" mode monitoring the switch. If a Canon camera ever seems to lock up and ignore all input, the battery should be temporarily removed to "reboot" the camera. There is no "setting" in a camera that can configure it to ignore buttons. Although... if the camera is in an automatic mode, some input is deliberately ignored to make it easier to use the camera. Put the mode dial in a "creative zone" mode (P, Tv, Av, or M) and all buttons and menus should be accessible. You might try connecting the camera via USB cable to your computer and then attempt to control the camera via the Canon EOS Utility to see if that works. If the camera responds fine to the computer control, then likely the camera's main board and circuits are working fine and it may just be a wiring problem -- as if some cable simply isn't getting a very solid connection. If this is a wiring issue, you are probably better off sending it in for service.

MacBook Pro Retina 15" Auto Power Off

Hi,
I have "auto power off" issue with my newly bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
This problem is very annoying, my MacBook Pro just auto power off, where I check the battery is 100% fully charged.
The first encountered was about a month ago, the night I cannot turn on my MacBook Pro at all, the next day I sent it back to Apple Service Centre. The technician open up the bottom part, reset the battery by removing the battery cable, plug it back. Then turn on and perform some diagnosis test.
It was working fine for about 2 weeks, and now the "auto power off" happen everyday.
I have repartition my SSD drive to 2 partitions using BootCamp and installed with Windows 7 x64.
At first, this problem happen when I boot into Windows 7 with BootCamp, at first, I thought this problem is due to Windows Drivers, and I have no choice but purchase Parallels Desktop, to run my Windows with OSX 10.8.2. After the Parallels installed, I upgrade my second partition to run Windows 7 concurrently with OSX, it was running fine on the first day! And I thought it has solve my problems, unfortunately the next day, this problems occurs again.
I suspect this is due to hardward failure, something to do with the battery. Looks like the drivers is telling the Operating System, battery is 0%, and it just turn off itself.
Anyone experience this? Please share your experience or advice what should I do next?
Regards,
Dave

Hey Dave. Yes yes yes! Try reading through the thread below. Especially at the end. It has to do with an 'autopoweroff' setting that appears to be new and annoying.
When plugged in, goes from sleep to hibernate after 4 hours of sleep (or 14,400 seconds).
Very easy to turn off.
This after many hours of research and discussion with no help from the folks at Apple.
Basically, to query the settings (enter this from Terminal):
pmset -g | grep autopoweroff
You'll see the autopoweroff set to '1' and autopoweroffdelay set to 14400.
To actually turn that 'feature' off:
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
(then enter your Mac password)
Now it will just sleep when plugged in and not go into hibernate.
You can also tell the Mac how long before it powers off via the autopoweroffdelay setting (if you like this silly feature), but I just turned the sucker off.
Here is the thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20819713?ac_cid=tw123456#20819713
Hopefully, that's the same problem you have, and it will quickly fix it.

Zen Micro Problem -- Just TRY and figure this one out

So, I never dropped my zen micro, never played soccer with it, never sent it to the moon. It's possible someone else has, and isn't fessing up to it, but all I know is I came home one day to find a non-working Zen Micro.
The symptoms: I can charge batteries, I can make it glow blue by plugging it in. If it's running just off battery it gets to the CREATIVE screen and just stays there until the battery dies. If it's plugged in, it does the same thing but glows blue.. and doesn't die.
I CAN go into recovery mode, but none of the options do anything [well, restart does.. it takes me back to the CREATIVE screen]. The other ones keep formatting and whatnot forever, which is a good indication it just froze as soon as I pressed format.
I also tried to plug it in, and format it off my computer as a removable disk, but unfortunately neither my computer nor my friends is picking up the Zen Micro as a removable disk and placing it on the My Computer tray.
If anyone has any advice, if anyone has seen this type of thing before, etc etc, please share.
Desperately seeking help,
Music Anonymous

You'll need to call Creative's support phone line so that they can give you an RMA number for your player. Then, just ship it to the address they tell you.

IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

Hello, 92.romil.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad. If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help. The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad.
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Auto power off

I seem unable to modify the auto power off on my Officejet Pro8100 ePrinter. I've looked at the drivers, and it tells me that if it prints I don't need to do anything else. The software says it's 'PrinterProxy Version 9 (447)', and I'm using OSX 10.9.1 (Mavericks) USB, not wireless.
The instructions don't match what I have - I don't see an 'advanced settings' or 'maintenance' tab.

Under menu - settings- system - media client (for Quantum for other STB should be similar).
Set to none. Note: may need to scroll up to see none.

ZEN MICRO won't hold it's charge!!!!!!!!!!

I have owned a 5GB Zen Micro for about 3 years. Up until about 4 months ago I had no problem with the unit holding it's charge for several hours. Now I can't get it to last for more than 0-5 minutes when using the FM radio. By that time the battery indicator shows hardly any charge left and then it does dead. Any [email protected]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had considered the possibility that the battery may indeed be at the end of it's life. As it turned out I also googled the model and battery name, and came up with a Canadian site that had?them on ?sale and decided that with postage it would be just as cheap as getting it'sdirectly from?the US with higher postage costs and the exchange rate. I love this model so much I hope to keep using it for years to come provided I have no further more costly problems. Despite it's greater thickness compared to similiar models it is a very attracti've looking unit.
The reason I chose?the Zen Micro?in the first place, as opposed to an iPod?was because I could replace the battery if need be, and also for it's FM radio capability. I?did have to have the chip that contains the earphone jack connections replaced last year, as many other owners have also had to do. But it was worth the $60 it cost me.

I had originally planned to buy an iPod back in '04, because everyone else had one, but after I saw? this video I decided to do some more research. I ended up with a 5 Gb Zen Micro in February '05 and wondered why anyone buys an iPod, when a far superior product was available from Creative.
The original battery started? to go about a year and a half ago, so I popped a new one in and kept on enjoying it. I thought that I would finally have to say goodbye to my little friend when I accidentally dropped it onto a tile floor. The dreaded click/whirr...click/whirr...click/whirr... of a dead hard dri've.
I read a few posts on the Say Goodbye to My Little Friend (Zen Micro)? thread and replaced the dead hard dri've with a SanDisk 8Gb? Ultra II Compact Flash card, using the instructions on? this page.
I was so happy to see it boot up aain and once the firmware was loaded, I started filling it up with some of my favourite music. It's nice to have an extra 3 Gb of storage space too!?

About auto power off function

Hello again guys,
long time no see ,since yesterday as far as I remember
Talking about Auto Power Off function , is there anyone that can tell us , it could be used on long terms - many days for example - as long as no one push the shutter or any button to wake the "beast" ?
This function completly shut down the camera or it's a kind of sleep function and some parts remain power supplied ?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not completly shutdown. However, it should not cost too much power if any at all. I have it on for a week. Unless you turn on the GPS. With GPS turned on, even if you turn off the camera, it is still active.

7D auto power off not working

My Canon EOS 7D is not turning itself off even though I have auto power off set for one minute. I think this problem began after I added a battery grip to the camera. Has anyone else had this problem?
gc

Is it a Canon battery grip, or a third party? I ask because I've heard of some strange things occuring when using non-OEM battery grips.
If it's a Canon battery grip, I'd try "rebooting" the camera to see if that clears the problem. Do you know how to do that? If not, it's pretty easy. Just remove all the batteries (including the date/time battery), turn the camera on and press the shutter release button once. It won't fire, but this will drain all remaining power from the system and force the camera to reboot. Put the batteries back in and check to see if the date/time needs to be reset... if so, you got a good reboot. (You might have to reset some of your other settings, too.)
Hopefully that helps. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.

Is power off and on again the same as 'reboting' iPhone?

To reboot the iPhone due to playing a big game or whatever other reason - To refresh lets say.
Is turning the power off and on again the exact same thing as holding down power and the home key together?
Is there really any difference?
-Frankie

This is what I tell everyone.
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

Suddenly my ipod power off and it remained off

Hi,
My 4 day old ipod nano Suddenly fot power off and its remained same. Its not power off. I tried to connect with pc. It is not responding. I can't on it. I tried to restart it with the hold button on-off and holding the menu and center button 10 seconds. It is responding at all.
Plz Help.

your ipod is currently carrying very little battery, which is not sufficient to turn your iPod on, can you connect it with an iPod wall charger or an iPod speakers dock system i.e. iPod HiFi.
If you cant find, please try to do a Reset while your iPod connecting with your PC
