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 Firmware update - Now can't transfer W

    I loaded my WMA files to my new ZEN MICRO 4Gb player... Then I signed up for Napster to Go...Said I need a firmware update...did the update...Had reload again...but, now all my transfers of WMA files fail! MP3 files work fine...Anyone have the issue before?

    Ever since I upgraded the firmware for the micro, I have been unable to transfer WMAs via Media Player v0 or Creative MediaSource. The error I receive is "An error has occurred while transferring this file". This only occurs on WMAs. MP3s transfer fine.

  • Zen Micro firmware update, but can't backup files b/c "player is not connect

    I want to update the firmware on my Zen Micro 5GB so I can put new songs on it through Creative Mediasource, but the computer won't read the device---all i get is the error message "player not connected." I opened up the firmware download, however, and i am able to install it on the player (somehow now the computer seems to know the player is there--the zen micro responds to the update), but it warns to backup all files as they will be lost in the update. I cannot backup my songs to the computer because it won't recognize the player as connected! What the heck can i do to backup my files?

    what in the world? i unplugged my zen micro from the USB port as i was giving up for the night trying to make it work, when i decided to try it one last time. all of a sudden creative mediasource popped up from the minimize and it read my player like normal. very strange...

  • Can not fast forward though podcasts on iPhone 4.

    When I first got the phone I was able to fast forward though them. Then something happened three days ago and now I can't fast forward though them at all. When I'm looking at the podcast selection screen it shows '--:--' as the time for all the podcasts. When the podcast is playing it shows '-00:00' as the play time and the scrubber never moves. If I try to fast forward at all it just jumps back to the beginning of the podcast.
    Anyone find a fix for this?

    I have the same problem. But it happens in mp3 music as well as podcasts. The only solution I've found is to reboot my iPhone. It's kind of a hassle, so I'd like to see a fix from Apple.

  • When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

    When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

    Jon,
    It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
    Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Zen Micro - Stuck in recovery; can't connect; can't upgrade firmw

    I sent a request to customer service, but since I purchased my Zen 3 months ago, I'm not eligible for email support. SO, if anyone can help, I would appreciate it...since I can't do anything with my Zen right now.
    I just bought into a subscription service and my 4Gb Zen Micro is stuck in recovery mode after upgrading to PlaysForSure firmware.
    Here's what happened:
    . Downloaded and installed Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02. Zen restarted after installation stalled. Displayed "Firmware Problem"
    2. Zen connected to PC and only recognized by XP as an MTP Device MTP Device Properites:
    Model Name: Creative Zen Micro
    Manufacturer: Creative Technology Ltd
    Firmware version: 2.2.02_0.00.65
    3. Downloaded and installed Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (ZENM_PCAPP_LB_MTP_PDE.exe) -- install failed because it never recognized my Zen, which was connected
    4. Downloaded and installed Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative
    MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer (CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36.exe) -- install successful, but it never recognized my Zen, which was connected I think I need to reload the firmware but I can't get any of the firmware updates to work. None of the creative software, including firmware updates, recognizes that the Zen is connected. I have not been able to figure out a way to have XP (SP2) recognize the device so that Ican reload the firmware and use the Creative Software. WMP 9, 0 and (I tried them all) do not recognize the device when it's plugged in. I also plugged in the Zen into two different computers. Same results.
    5. Tried directions on Solution ID # 4275 MP3 player not detected. Same results.
    6. I've followed the registry edits suggested on Solution ID # 0053 MTP players not recognized in Windows XP and that did not fix the problem either.

    It took a while, but I finally have my Zen Micro working again. I did some searching in the forums on "Firmware Problem" and that gave me some great ideas. Here's what I did.
    . Uninstalled WMP and 0. Rolled back to WMP 9.
    2. Edited my registry. I searched for anything related to the Creative software and deleted the entry. I just searched for the word "Creative". Restarted my PC.
    3. When I plugged in my Zen, Windows recognized it, without using the MTP driver. Problem was that I wasn't be able to load a driver to use the device. So, I went and installed WMP0.
    4. After installing WMP0, I plugged in my Zen and Windows recognized the device and installed a driver.
    5. I ran the firmware upgrade from Creative and I was back in business.
    Hope this hel
    ps.

  • I can´t organize files on my Zen Micro using MP10 (and can I get rid of the firmwar

    Hi, I installed the software that came with the Zen, the first one hung up my computer (forgot what it was called) but media explorer seemed to work ok. I was recommended to install the firmare so that I could transfer files using MP0. I did this (one of the earlier versions). I drag and drop my music folders into MP0 and sincronize but when they are transfered I get new folder created with new names onto my Zen (album names, song names etc.) everything disordered and many folders with only one song in them. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my music. Is there a way of reformatting the player, get rid of the firmware and make it work properly with media explorer again (since media explorer doesn?t recognise the player after the firmware instalation) Please help, the sound quality of this player is great but music transfers and organizing is giving me a big headache.

    Ear-Rock,
    You can download the version of Zen Micro Media Explorer that support the MTP firmware you have now on the player. The version is 4.00.8 and is available on the website. You can also change the firmware to the PDE one by downloading and installing the PDE firmware version .02.05.

  • [Zen Micro] Firmware upgrade has bloc

    Hi,
    I'm upgrading my Zen Micro firmware from ..0 to 2.2.02 version right now, but it looks like the process has stuck. My processor seems not to be working, the progress bar is no more advancing and the arrows on my player are white. There's a message on the window that says "Rebooting your player. Please wait." But nothing actually happens. What should I do? If I plugged off my player, can I cause it any damage? Should I restart the upgrade? As the 'Close' button is available for clicking, I can assume the process is stoppable and its terminating shouldn't cause damages... can't I?
    Please, help me.
    Thank you for your suggestions.
    haunted

    And no software will acknowledge mine since I stupidly upgrade to the 2 level firmware. I've been on a three-week merry go round with email customer service...they've even had me go into the registry of my computer (yikes!) but no solution.

  • Zen Micro firmaware upgrade fai

    Hello! I have problem with loading new firmware into my Zen Micro. I tried both 2.2.02 and ..0 but no luck. It says "updating in progress" but progress bar never gets full, even I wait for hours. Also, after several tries to upgrade I lost old player's firmware - now every time I turn it on player shows "Firmware Problem" message and switches to recovery mode. Tried all the options there - Disc Clean Up, Formatting, Reloading(erasing) firmware but still remain the same - player is in recovery mode and nothing happens when trying to install new firmware from my PC. Did anyone experience such problem? What could be possible ways to resolve it's Thank you.

    Today tried installing firmware from another PC running WinXp SP. With v I had same result - no progress at all, v2 keeps asking me to check whether Windows Media Player 0 is installed on PC. I checked - Yes, it is. But had no further success with v2 By the way, my PC dows not have WMP0 (only 8) but v2 setup never asked me to check WMP version. So still looking how to install new firmare into my Zen Micro.

  • Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade 2.00

    when i try to upgrade the firmware on my player to 2.00.2 it starts off alright then stalls on the "player is rebooting, please wait" message and it never gets any further i ahve uninstalled all the creative media source software as apparently that can course problems with the auto detect feature.

    Thanks

    imran_ansari wrote:Yeah, exactly same problem with me. My current firmware version is .02.05 Zen Micro is a Hight Speed USB device, my PC has non high speed usb port. When I connect it gives me a message about this. Can this be a problem? Any suggestions?
    It's fine, USB 2.0 devices are compatible with USB . (which is what you have), the transfers will just be slower.
    Also, if you want your Micro to transfer much faster, get a USB 2.0 PCI add-on card (AVOID CARDS WITH THE ALi CHIPSET!), install it and plug the Micro into there instead. You can find such cards for under $5 in stores, or even for $ + S&H on eBay.

  • Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade 1.01.03: Problems when Downloading and Installing the Upgr

    Yesterday I downloaded the new firmware upgrade .0.03 to my computer without problems. I then attempted to open the upgrade and initiate transfer to my Zen Micro unit through my USB 2.0 cable. I kept getting a dialog box, informing me that there was an interference problem... So I shut down my Norton anti-virus and my Zone Alarm firewall, and tried again, and again, and again. I was unable to initiate the transfer program...
    I was about to contact you this evening for advice, but I decided to first switch my USB cable to another connector and try one more time. Surprise! It worked... A rather long connection, but the upgrade is now in my Zen Micro unit, just where it's needed...
    I've had my USB cable connected to what I believe is a USB 2.0 connection on my computer, and I often see the "not connected" dialog box. Each time this happens, I disconnect the cable from the Zen Micro unit, then reconnect it... Bells and whisltes sound, and I'm connected again, until a few minutes later I get the "not connected" dialog box yet again... Is this a normal procedure?
    Now, tonight I plugged the USB cable into what I've always considered to be a slower USB connection point... Mybe that's why the transfer took so long? But it stays connected indefinitely... no "not connected" dialog box.
    I've been having other transfer problems through the USB 2.00 connection point. I downloaded 23 tracks to my Zen Micro yesterday afternoon, and three of the tracks didn't make it... Frustrating as hell...
    I'd appreciate any comments from my peers, since everyone here has more experience than me...

    koochiching,
    Try turning off the Media Sniffer feature from MediaSource and try updating the firmware again.

  • Zen Micro Software Upgrade Confl

    I posted in another thread, but thought this board supported BBCode, so my other post is rather jumbled.
    I received my Zen Micro earlier this week, played with it a bit, and decided I would like to continue using it without MTP. But I would like the latest firmware.
    My current firmware is .02.05, and I am using Zen Media Explorer 4.00.22 - these came on the CD with my Micro.
    On the Creative support page, I selected the "Step by Step" Micro Firmware Upgrade Instructions, and continued answering "NO" to "Would you like to Use Online Subscription Services". The firmware version I want is clear enough: ..0. But the software is not clear at all. First I am taken to a page which says I need the following:
    Zen Micro Media Explorer 4.00.8
    Sync Manager 4.00.5
    Jukebox Type Plugin 2.00.07
    When I click on the download link for the above, I am taken to a download page for ZENM_PCAPP_LB_MTP_PDE.exe. This contains different versions than the previous page said that it would:
    Zen Micro Media Explorer 4.00.27
    Sync Manager 4.60.0
    Import Wizard .60.2
    CD Ripping Wizard .60.09
    So which is correct? With all the firmware upgrade problems I see, I sure want to make sure ahead of time that I am downloading and installing the correct files.
    A call yesterday to Creative got me less help than my 2 year old could provide!
    Thanks.Message Edited by J-Mac on 0-09-2005 :39 PM

    Choose Support > Downloads from your local Creative site's main menu, then follow the instructions. Or you can use the international site, http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers/ . You're looking for the ..0 firmware download--not ZMME, MediaSource, or anything else.
    What you were directed to is indeed the newest versions--but of Creative software, not the firmware itself. The tutorial you went through is more aimed at those upgrading to 2.x (MTP/Janus) firmware; they have to replace their ZMME, install a new MediaSource plug-in, and make other changes to their Creative software when upgrading.
    Changing firmware from .02.05 to ..0 should not require new Creative software; indeed, it's one of the easiest firmware upgrades possible for the Micro. Most Micro upgrade issues you see here involve those who switch to 2.x firmware, but fail to download the required Creative software upgrades. You probably won't even lose your music files (which would happen if you chose 2.x firmware).

  • Zen Micro problem player frozen, can connect to pc, what to d

    hello community,
    My 6 month old zen micro has frozen after a small drop. I have read of this product freezing at the creative labs screen but mine freezes once it has turned on completely (i see the song/artist/album of the last song i was playing). Here, the touchpad does not work and i cannot turn it off without removing the battery, although i can turn it on normally. Also the glow around hte player doesnt work but the main LCD works.
    When i try to access the emergency menu or whatever wit hall of the options (clean up/format etc) I cannot do anything since the touchpad is unresponsi've. I can, however, charge it with my computer and sync files that way.
    So my question is: How can I revi've my Zen Micro using a connection with my computer, being able to transfer stuff?

    Right... I havent tried anything insane i've smacked it around and dropped it again but nothing huge or drastic yet... so i guess it is an internal mechanical problem that cant be fixed with a new firmware or rolling back my current firmware?
