Zen Micro Auto Sync H

I have a Zen Micro and I'm trying to activate Auto Sync in Windows Media Player but I can't. Maybe I should point out that I'm using Windows XP and Media Player 0.
I've searched this board for similar problems and didn't really get an answer. Is it true that not all players support it's
I looked in the User's Guide and they only mention the software that came with the MP3 player. Is there no way I can use Media Player to to auto sync then?
Thanks in advance for any help you might bring,
Charlie

Actually, I have another problem...
I used to have a Movu2, with which all you had to do was copy folders across and you were sorted. So of course, it's taking a little while to get used to the fact that the Zen Micro doesn't work with folders...
But what happens is this: I know that in order for all my songs to be sorted by album, I have to make sure that all the information in the advanced mode of the properties is correct. Which I do, and it works when I'm copying entire albums.
But what happens when you have a folder on your PC containing songs from various artists? I've tried my best to come up with a solution that would put them all in an album I called "Misc Artists", in which they'd be sorted by alphabetical order -- I formatted the titles of the songs to include the artist names as well so they'd stay together when I have more than one song per artist. It works for most of the songs, but not al of them, and they end up at the end of the list, for no particular reason. I really don't understand why...

Zen Micro Auto Sy

I just got my Zen Micro and I was trying to activate Auto Syncing on Windows Media Player 0 and I can't!
The option in WMP0 is disabled. I'm using Windows XP Professional and Windows Media Player 0.
Is it possible to activate auto syncing for the zen micro, using windows media player 0? If so, how can I do it's
Thank you.
Marco.

I'm not sure if AutoSync and Sync refer to the same feature in Media Player 0, but I'm able to use the Sync tab in Windows Media Player 0 perfectly with the Zen Micro. I can select my MP 0 playlist, and hit a single button to transfer my music over.

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.

Zen Micro Auto

Is it possible to put an autorun file in the root of my MP3 player so when I plug it in it runs a certain file? The problem that I have is that the root folder cannot have anything pasted in it, on my Play for Sure Zen Micro.

Unfortunetly, it doesn't come up with any results showing about the MP3 player itself, only about the disc that came with it... Thanks though.
If anyone else has any ideas?

Zen Micro Calendar feature, how to set up to sync with MS Outlo

hi,
i finally got my zen micro working, it has fully charged and i have downloaded some songs to it, the sound is great and it's playing the music!!!
i'm now testing the calendar feature. does anyone know or have instructions on how to set up the zen micro to sync with MS Outlook to download the contacts, notes, etc?
thanks!!!

thanks Catherine,
i used the cd that came with the zen micro. what i did now is uninstall all creative softeware from my computer. rebooted.
then install the zen software for the micro. rebooted
after that, there was no shortcut to the zen micro explorer, only thing in the shortcut was the product registration.
but i installed the same on a machine that runs Windows 2000 and it installed everything correctly.
whereas the machine that does not work is using windows xp.
would there be a conflict with the zen micro software on a windows xp operating system?
thanks

Zen Micro freezed when syncing, now freezes when trying to reload or upgrade firmw

Got a Zen Micro, firmware 2..02
I started having problems syncing with my home PC, which uses XP SP2 with Windows Media Player . Trying to sync resulted in a freezed WMP an, after a while returned an error saying it couldn't communicate with Zen Micro or just showed that all the files to be transfer had been stopped.
Tried to sync in my office, XP SP2 with with Windows Media Player 0. It worked a bit better: could transfer files, but the speed of the transfers was unusually slow for USB 2.0. It ended with the WMP freezed and, after a while, all the files I use for testing where in the player.
In both computers, when the WMP freezed, the signal in the player remained with the lines in black, as if it was still communicating. I had to disconnected the player, disregarding the signal, which remained even with the player disconnected from the PC. When powered up the startup process ended in the "Creative" screen staying on forever, I had to remove the battery, go to recovery mode, Reboot the player and, after a library rebuilding it worked.
Read some threads and thoght that reloading the firmware would help. But the sign "erasing firmware" doesn't dissapear in my player's screen. I gave up after 2 hours. At that point, my player starting showing a "firmware error" at startup and going to the recovery screen every time it is powered up.
Tried to upgrade firmware. It gave a "player not connected" error using my home PC (WMP ) but not in my office (WMP 0). I try to "re-upgrade" to 2..02 but it returned a "failed to upgrade firmware" error (after a few minutes with the window freezed) and the player remained in "communicating" status (black lines in the screen's icon). Try then to "downgrade" to last .xx firmware version available, but the operation hangs after the "format completed successfully" message, with only two bars in the progress indicator, and it stays like this for a very long time (tried for 30 minutes), still with the communication black-lines-in-icon status.
If I try to re-run the firmware upgrade inmediately, it says "your player is not connected, please reconnect your player", as it is still in "communicating" status. I have to take battery out and reinsert it to be able to restart the firmware proess.
Any suggestions? I'm really restricted to not to send the player to Creative Customer Service, as it has just finished it warranty period and I'm nowadays in Argentina, from where the post cost would be huge.

Anyone from the Creative board or the guru around has an idea of what can I do?
would be really appreciated.

ZEN MICRO WON'T SYNC CONTACTS NOW .....

My Zen Micro won't sync contacts from Outlook Li've now (when it did before) .... get an error message:
"CTSync
X Unspecified error"
I'm using Outlook Li've (2003) that is linked to my hotmail e-mail; like I said, everything sync'ed fine before!
I've tried all the new downloads, etc.
I've also formatted the player several times.
I can still syn music, tasks, and calendar.
How do I resolve this issue ... no one from Creative Labs has been able to provide any assistance with the issue(s).

FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!

Zen Micro sync proble

Hi,I?formated my pc and installed all creative software as usuall but i cant sync my music from my mp3 player to my pc.. I tryed by dragging the files through "Organize music in device" button, but when i dragged the .mp3's the pc was "busy" but nothing came out.. Then i tryed the "Sync music between pc and device" button, this way was good but in the end i saw that i was transfering file with errors?with no weight.. Well thats my problem, now i got no music files on my pc.. but i still can hear them by connecting my player.So if someone got any suggestion, feel free to post.. Thank's

Again, you have to be a little more specific.
You tried doing what? When and how did it fail?
You said earlier that you could change some songs, now you can't do even that?
Have you changed sth with your player (firmware is what comes to mind).
Did you tried uninstalling all Creative programs, rebooting downloading the LATEST versions of the programs and then installing those instead?
BTW, it DOES matter which firmware version your player has:
If it is .xx.xx (eg ..0) then you should download and install THE LATEST versions of:
Zen and Jukebox Driver (v.30.03)
Zen Micro Media Explorer (v4.00.27)
MediaSource Player-Organizer (v3.30.2)
AND
Jukebox plugin (v2.00.20) for MediaSource
If it is 2.xx.xx (eg 2.2.02) then you should install Windows Media Player 0 along with ALL the latest hotixes from microsoft.
If when by fail you mean that it worked ok for your friend but when you got back it didn't for you then it DEFINITELY means that there's a problem with your PC, not the player...
If this don't help ask again anything.

Zen Micro firmare upgrade, now can't fast forward or auto resum

I upgraded my Zen Micro to version 2.2.02e from ..something so I could use ZenCast. Now I cannot fast forward tracks, the "time remaining" counter remains at zero always and it will no longer auto resume. Also "Seek to" doesn't work. Did anyone else have this problem? Is this firmware broken?
Cheers!

jrbg5,
I forgot to mention... when I tried?my ZEN?on my son's PC and Laptop, both of which work fine with his ZEN, that both of those machines are running Win2k ... not XP SP2.
The only XP PC in my house is my tower running XP MCE2005 SP2.BTW...thinking back, the USB cable may have stopped charging around the time I installed my Creative Web Cam. It got me thinking about driver conflicts, but since my ZEN doesn't work on the other PC's ... I'm lost as what to do next.

Zen micro sync with outlo

how do I sync with outlook? The softwear that the zen micro comes with isn't responding when I plug my mirco in, it says inte not connected even though it is (and I know it is becuase it syncs with napster...)
lizy

First you need to get your computer to be able to recognize your player. You can find hundreds of posts here by doing a search. Then you have to use the Zen Micro Media Explorer and select the Sync Music and Outlook button.

Zen Micro Sync quest

Hi there,
I got a Zen Micro today and I'm trying to get round learning how to use it since it differs quite a lot from the Muvo2 I used to have.
Something strange happens when I try to sync the player with Windows Media Player 0. Most of the files get transfered without any problem, but I always get an error message for some of them, telling me that they are corrupted when I know for a fact that they're not.
Has this happened to anybody else? Did you manage to solve the problem? I'd sure appreciate any help I can get.
Hope you all had a good Christmas Day!
Charlie

Oh, thanks for that. I just wanted to use Media Player as much as I could so I wouldn't have to install or use a new piece of software. As for the files, they're all mp3 or wma.

Zen Micro Sync Err

I have used the sync function on the Micro to back up my music collection to my
computer. Both times, the operation finished with a note that says -"errors encountered"
How can I check what kinds of errors ? The backup files looks ok to me, but I have no easy way
of verifying. Is there an error log ?
Thanks.
Corrections ! I just looked into the backedup folders and there is nothing in them. The folders were created but they are empty. Does this have anything to do with security of the songs ? I paid for them online and should have complete access (I think).
Thanks.Message Edited by malam on 07-2-2005 06:37 PM

You need to go to http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp and download Application #2 - Zen Micro Media Explorer .00. for Creative Zen Micro (Software Update Package for Zen Micro Players with *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware).
This will update Micro Media Explorer so you can use it with the Micro's new MTP firmware.

Zen Micro and Outlook 2003 Sync

I recently purchased the Zen Micro. While I am extremely happy with the Audio quality the Oultoook syncing doesn't work properly. I have tried many times with a huge amount of frustration to sync Outlook 2003 only to find out that any calendar entry that is a "Series of Meetings" that was entered in the past is just ignored by the Zen Micro. I even tried to update the series by typing in a carriage return into each meeting to update the meeting but to no preval. Is this really the way the Zen Micro is designed to work or is the documentation just lacking?

I just wanted to second everyone's comments for Creative's benefit. I just picked up my Orange Zen Micro yesterday - am loving it - but ran into the same Outlook 2003 issue. When I initially synced just the calendar, it transferred nothing. Then I checked BOTH "contacts" and "calendar" (even though I have no contacts), and it transferred my calendar.
I then discovered that roughly 25% of my meetings transferred over. I also pinned it down to any meetings that are marked to "reoccur" in Outlook fail to transfer to my Zen Micro. That's unfortunate as the vast majority of my appointments reoccur.
I called Creative Tech Support today, and they confirmed that their development team is aware of the problem and should *hopefully* have a fix out. We shall see.....

Zen Micro Sync Prob

Help! I have a Zen Micro with the laetst firmware, and the latest Creative MediaSource on Windows 2000 Pro. I just re-organised my directory structure, deleted everything from the PC Music Library and re-imported all the tracks (they're all WMA's FWIW). I then did a shed load of tag editing, to get them properly organised. So far, so good.
Then I deleted everything from the Zen, and tried to resync. Only about 80% of the tracks transferred, and the sync manager just reports that there were errors. There does not appear to be any consistency to this: some tracks with edited tags copy OK, others don't. Some albums have transferred only a couple of tracks, while others are fine.
Any clues?
Update: If I save the tags info back from MediaSource to the files, then import the files directly into the Zen, it seems to work OK. Except that it won't import corrected track numbers (i.e. where I have taken a 2CD set and stored them as a single 'album', and rejigged the track numbers for the 2nd CD so they play in the right order.)Message Edited by wiggo on 07-2-2005 :07 PM

EXACT same problem here too. You can transfer tracks directly to the player and it will work, but it would appear that certain tracks with edited tags either sync twice (two copies, one with old tag info, one with new) or won't sync at all.
I have been meaning to call Creative regarding this, however, my ZM is currently RMA for a hard dri've issue so the call can wait.
I would love it if there was a consistant way to edit track info and have that info copy to PC/MIcro.
Anyways, just wanted to echo your words in hopes someone is either working on a fix, or knows how the user can conquer this issue.

Zen Micro & Treo 600 USB sync collis

So I had a working Handspring Treo USB sync process for a while, and later when I installed the drivers for the Zen Micro and then Creative MediaSource Organizer, I found that I had somehow broken both. Same situation with Zen Micro Media Explorer, and uninstalling/reinstalling does not seem to remedy the problem. I was surprised to not see this issue here - am I just overlooking something obvious?

I sync my Treo600 on the same pc as my Zen Micro. - and I haven't had any problems....
I didn't have an acti've Treo sync going when I first installed the Zen Micro software... But It has never been an issue.
Maybe ask over on the brighthand.com treo600 forums...
