Zen Micro & FM Transmitter Prob

I noticed that the Zen Micro does not work well with the I-Ri'ver FM transmitter. The MuVo works fine with this transmitter. What is up with this? I need an FM transmitter that really works, my 2006 car does not offer a cassette deck just CD.

I can't see why there would be a difference. What do you mean "does not work well"?

Zen micro cd installation prob

hi i recently purchased a zen micro. when i try to install the software from the cd i pick the region and the language and then an error comes up saying the "demoshield player has encountered a problem and needs to close". this happens evry time and i have tried it on 2 differernt computers. has anyone experienced this and how did you fix it's

You can try downloading each individual piece of software required from the download page instead. You need the following:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
Install . then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 (which needs the player connected for verification) followed by 3.
You can also download Zen Micro Media Explorer as well.

You will need the playforsure firmware for vista to recognize the Micro. You will need to update the firmware from a machine with windows XP. Then vista will recognize the your Micro. If your player has the old firmware there is no way to?update it in Vista.?

Zen Micro Car Connection Prob

Okay so i bought a cable for my Zen Micro 5gb Black, that is RCA audio to headphone jack. I have a pioneer headunit (aftermarket) which has the RCA audio jacks on the back. My problem is that when i plug this in and play my zm, it plays no matter what else is happening, with whatever else is on, like a cd and my zm or the radio and my zm. Plus i cant control volume through my headunit, only through the zm volume control. Anyone know of any simple and hopefully free ways to fix this? I dont have an aux. in, just the red and white RCA audio jacks. Id really like to be able to just have the zm play, and i control the volume and such through the head unit.
Thanks in advance,
Rug

The car stereo does have a "source" button which i use to switch back and forth from radio to cd and such. However, it doesnt find the RCA audio connection as a source, which is very strange. I took out the cd, and plugged the ZM into the RCA connection, and hit source and nothing happened. The other problem is i already have XM satillite radio with a rf modulator hooked up into the headunit so i cant use another modulator. The only soulution i can think of is to get some kinda RCA audio a-b switch and plug both the zm and the sattilite radio into its modulator. I dont know if anyone makes something like that though...thoughts?

Zen Micro Media Connection Prob

I have a zen micro, I just updated the firmware so nothing is currently on my Zen. I went to import music to my zen with the Zen Micro Media Explorer, and it says my device is not connected. Now, my computer recognizes the device because it shows up as connected under my computer and I can import music that way, but its much easier and faster if I was able to use the Media Explorer and that is not working. Any suggestion? Thanks

Did you also update to a newer version of the Media Explorer?

Weird Zen Micro Heaphone Jack Prob

Hi,
I have owned my zen micro for over a year, and love it! Recently, the sound started spitting in and out, so i replaced my headphones. Unfortunately, that didn't work, but I realized that if I press firmly on the heaphone's wire, and wrap it around the corner right next to the headphone jack, the sound works ok, as long as i dont move the wire... I have had to get the headphone wire "into position" and then wrap the wire tightly around the micro, or just hold it awkwardly, to get decent sound.
The headphone jack itself seems to be loose. By holding the wire tightly and pulling towards the corner, I seem to be getting the jack back into position. My question is: How do I tighten the jack? I am not an internal tinkerer (i just wrap my headphone wires around it as a solution!), and I dont feel comfortable opening the micro up and trying to tighten it myself. Does anyone know of a way to get this problem fixed?
Thanks!
Mike

The infamous headphone jack problem is quite common with micros. Since creative is aware of this problem they might fix it for you even though you're probably past warranty. get in touch with customer support and see what they can do (mention that it is a common problem!).
If they're not willing to cooperate use the search function in this forum. I remember a guide to soldering the jack in place and one or two other methods.

HELP! Zen Micro 6GB Firmware prob

My first problem is that my Zen Micro has a firmware problem. After it shows the "Firmware Problem" message it goes to the recovery menu. I've tried "Clean Up" and "Format All" but I am still unable to use my Zen Micro. The second problem is that the firmware upgrading software won't recognize the Zen Micro. I can still sync music to my Zen with Windows Media Player but the program used to update the firmware will not recognize it. I'm running Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 on a Toshiba Satellite M40X. I've also tried updating the firmware on another desktop computer running Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 but it still will not recognize the Zen Micro. I've tried installing drivers yet the program still won't recognize my Zen Micro. Is there any other way to get the firmware onto my Zen Micro or am I out of luck?

Bump. I sent an e-mail to Creative and they were of no help. They told me to send it in and that I would have to pay for it. Is there any other way to install the firmware, or possibly better drivers that I could download other than the ones from Creative's website.

Zen Micro memory space prob

I have deleted all of the files I could possibly find on my Zen and it still says I only have 762MB of space out of 5839MB. I'm extremely frustrated, I've tried everything I can think of (which isn't much as it turns out), and I am most definitely not a technical person. Please help if anyone knows a possible solution.
Thank You,Candace

. Make sure that battery is charged.
2. Detach your player from your PC, and ensure that it is turned off.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the Recovery Mode appears.

Zen Micro - MediaSource Detector Prob

Help please!
I recently installed Broadband and Internet Explorer 6 and Outlook 6 onto my PC running Windows ME. I now get an error message at start up advising that "MediaSource Detector was unable to load needed components. Please re-install the application". When I try to start the programme a further error message indicates that a required driver, CTINTRFC.dll, was not found. The driver is there!
I've uninstalled and re-installed the MediaSource software, updated all the critical updates / drivers from Microsoft. I've run auto updates on my Zen Micro, brought in the latest upgrade and firmware but to no avail.
Can anyone help?

If all you want to do is transfer mp3s and files between your pc and mp3 player, you can just do this trhough "my computer". click and drag thing... Other than that I'm not sure why you have this problem. Maybe you can try a system restore.....

Zen Micro PC Recognize prob

I have had this micro since early dec (second one, the first one died after a week) and there have been no problems. As of Yesterday, my zen micro is only being detected for a second on my PC. When I plug my zm in to the USB cable, I get the recognition popup. When the creative organizer comes up, it says "player not connected" (or something close). When I try and use the Zen Micro Media Explorer, the software says "the device is not connected".
I currently have 2 players (one for me, one for wife), and my player is detected with no problems. So this must be a device issue, since the software and drivers are working fine with my player, but not my wifes.
Anybody have any ideas? I am stumped.

Just a follow up:
My wifes player would not get recognized on my PC (Windows ME). It had working fine (along with mine) and then one day, her player stopped being recognized by our PC. I tried it about 00 times. Didnt make sense, but figured there must be a problem with her player, especially since my player worked fine this whole time. I had also seen this problem on the message board.
This week, I reinstalled all the software (drivers and creative music center), and when I plugged her player in, its now being recognized. Very strange. Dont know if it was the reinstall or just luck. Either way, its working now.
Couple of days ago, my player did the same thing (not recognized), but when I plugged it into my XP laptop, it worked fine. Then took it back to the ME machine and it worked fine. I tried it at work (2000) and it works fine.
Just an FYI, thought maybe somebody else has had similar experiences.

Zen Micro / USB Firmware prob

Okay, this time I ran into a serious problem and I was quite close to get really mad at Creative... This is my third Zen Micro player and my waranty has run out and I thought, this time I am really gone for..
So, what happened is, I took my mp3 player with me. Nothing special? Oh well, when I switched it on, it showed the starting screen and switched off again. Tryed again and it showed me that the battery was empty. I plugged the player into the recharger but hours later, turning the player on resulted in the same..
Okay, I thought maybe there is some problem and formated everything. Now it told me, firmware error and started into recovery mode on its own. Good I guessed, reuploading the firmware would solve the problem.. (P4S 2..0)
It was not this simple.. I connected the player with the USB to the computer, but some minutes after connecting it, it told me "there is a problem with the USB device" and the player was not recognized any more. Starting the firmware update program resulted in "the player is not connected to your computer" even if it was..
A week later, today I solved the puzzle. It was a pure coincidence, after I tried the american version of the firmware update program which only told me "the battery needs to be charged before a update can be done" I tried the old PDE ..0 Firmware program! **bleep** and it worked!! It recognized the player and let me "downgrade" the firmware to ..0! I hope that helps anyone encountering the same problem, I really thought my player is now really gone mad..

If you have WMP 0. Otherwise, make sure that you have MediaSource (although I prefer Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer, both of these come on the CD that came with your device).

Zen Micro/Organizer/disappear prob

Okay, here's the problem.... I recently deleted my music on my Zen Micro to start from Scratch, you know, clean it up. So I start adding music to my playlist. Suddenly, the songs are not on the playlist. They're in the "music" folder, but they don't exist in the playlist on mediasource organizer. I unplugged my Micro and checked the playlist - sure enough, nothing. But in the "All tracks" folder the music is there. I also noticed if I drag and drop one song at a time with a few seconds between each song, it'll load the songs in the playlst. But the second I select 2 songs, drag it in the playlist, they are shown as "completed" in the transfer window, but then nothing shows up in the playlist. AND, if there's already music in the playlist, they disappear too. What the heck is going on? For the last 3 weeks, I've been able to load and delete music perfectly, so why is this doing it now?Any help is appreciated!

Did you also update to a newer version of the Media Explorer?
