thanks, i just wasnt sure if mine was defecti've or something.
I know how it is- I went through the same feelings when I first came to this forum. All those problems! I nearly took it back.
I kept waiting for my Zen Micro to die, but nearly a year later, it's still going strong and I've stopped worrying about it.

  • Laptop freezes on HP logo during boot

    We have a Pavilion Dv5 running 32-bit Windows 7. Today when my wife went to wake it (it locks and shuts off the screen after half an hour of no use) it instead reboot itself. When it boots, it immediately gets stuck on the screen with the HP logo.
    I've tried the various key presses during startup (Esc, F2, F10, etc.). It seems to recognize that I pressed the key, because the little message in the lower left hand corner of the screen will say something appropriate to the key I pressed, but it never actually goes into Bios, or Startup Setup, or whatever. It just stays on the HP logo. It does not shut itself down, either, even after several minutes. It just hangs on the HP logo.
    After reading other forum posts I tried several things. I did the HP "hard reset", which had no effect at all. I took out the hard drive and tried booting up that way, with no change at all. I tried removing each of the two memory sticks in turn as well, also with no change. There were not, before or now, any peripherals attached either. 
    I've run out of things to try. Is there anything else I can attempt or am I just toast?  Also, does the fact that nothing changed when I removed the hard drive mean that the hard drive is probably OK (and thus I can still get important files off of it through some other channel)?
    Thanks for any assistance or tips!

  • Zen Micro freezes when boot or in recovery m

    In brief, my Zen Micro freezes at booting up or in recovery mode.
    It stops at the "Creative" logo. I've tried to do everything in the "Recovery Mode" but none ofthem seems to run. Tried "Disk Cleanup" but it stucks at "Scanning Disk..." and stays on and does nothing. I know it is supposed to show you the status in percentage, but it doesn't get to that point. Tried "Formatting" but it displays "Formatting..." and stucks and does nothing. It is able to"Reboot" but upon rebooting, it freezes at the "Creative" logo screen again.
    During the time it's turned on, the computer would not recognize the player as "connected", I couldn't do firmware flash/upgrade. The computer also won't recognize as a removable storage. The Zen Microis in perfect condition, I haven't dropped it once, bought it for less than 2 weeks. Current version of firmware is .0.03 (as i recall). model # DAP-MD0004
    Any comment is greatly appreciated!! Thanks =)
    ps.
    and yes, my battery drains when the player is off (and not in standby mode), with or without headphone plugged in.

    <SPAN>Hi kaic,
    <SPAN><SPAN>My Zen Microphoto has exactly the same problem you described. What I like to know is if you got it replaced or if somehow you could fix it yourself. And if Creative replaced it, which they said the problem was?
    <SPAN>Thanks a lot,

  • Zen Micro freezes on creative lo

    My creative zen micro freezes on start up at the creative logo. I see this is a popular problem, and yes I hear clicking of the hard dri've. I've only had it two weeks and this isn't cool. I would recommend a Rio. In the creative warranty it says does not cover any "Damage from external causes such as floods, storms, fires, sand, dirt, earthquakes, an Act of God, exposure to sunlight.." Geez, I sure hope they don't consider this an act of god. Now, I must wait the 2+ weeks for my replacement. Not a happy customer.
    Btw, has anyone fixed this problem? It doesnt seem so.

    Yea, I've read the FAQ and troubleshooting. I can get into rescue mode but when I select any option it then freezes along with more clicking. I've spent the last two hours reading about this, I'm quite certain it's hard dri've failure/sticking. My last mp3 player got stolen and I had to wait a week to receive my zen micro in the mail. Now I have to wait another few weeks to have it fixed. I need it at work, so my life sucks without my mp3 player. This is very not cool. Thanks for your reply, btw. Unfortanetly, I don't think there is anything I can do.

  • Zen Micro Frozen ON at Logo scre

    After a problem with the firmware I upgraded it on My Zen Micro. Now it freezes at the logo screen. It wont boot up and wont turn off. HELP!!!!

    Have you run cleanup in the recovery menu? Try that.
    To get to this menu, take out the battery, hold the power button ON and reinsert the battery. Continue to hold the ON button for 0 seconds or so until the recovery menu appears.
    Run cleaup. A window will open showing scan with a percent progress. If that just freezes, and never progresses to 00%, then you have bigger problems. You might take out the battery at that point, get back into the recovery menu and run the firmware reinstall. Have the newest firmware ready to go on your desktop.
    If that fails, you probably have a dead dri've. Hold the player up to your ear when you insert the battery. You should hear the dri've, at least faintly, spin up. If it is completely silent, that is a bad sign - dead dri've. If instead, you hear some odd twangs or repeated whir/clicks, the dri've head has hung on the platter edge. There are "unauthorized" ways to free it up that often work, but if you are under warranty, send call Creative for an RMA.

  • Zen Micro Freezes when I plug in USB cable+USB not recognized at ti

    Ok, I know you, the reader, has heard this complaint posted over and over on the Creative forums, and you would probably tell me to SEARCH THE FORUMS. Well, I did, and I found no answer or solution to my problems. So..here goes nothing.
    I recently purchased a Black 5gb Creative Zen Micro, I was really content and happy with it...that is until I plugged it into my USB 2.0 Card. The moment I do that (I've tried plugging it in into every USB 2.0 slot, and NO, this isn't a hub, but a PCI card), The Zen Micro freezes! I have to resolve this by removing the cover and taking out the battery, then reinserting the battery. At the same time my Zen Micro freezes, a little bubble pops up on my computer screen saying "USB Device Not Recognized". I'm going absolutely out of my mind here, and am on the verge of returning the Zen Micro, and might get a replacement, and if that doesn't work, just returning the Zen altogether for a refund and getting a Rio Carbon. I really like the Zen, so PLEASE PLEASE help me out here!
    Things I've Tried That Did Not Work:
    -Uninstall/Reinstalling Zen Explorer, Mediasource (basically everything on CD)
    -Updating the drivers for Zen Micro found on Nomadness.net
    -Updating Firmware for Zen Micro
    -Going into rescue mode and cleaning up, Formatting, reloading firmware, and rebooting.
    -Trying the USB 2.0 Card in different PCI Slots
    -Rotating the order in which I connect the USB cable to Zen Micro and PC
    -Uninstalling/Reinstalling the drivers, even when the Zen Micro pops up as "Unknown Device"
    -Reading tips/hints on Nomadness.net
    I have scoured the forums, and have not found anything useful or new. I know its not the USB 2.0 Card's problem, since I plugged in my USB mouse into all the ports on the USB Card, and it worked fine.
    Note: When I plug the USB cable that came with the Zen Micro into the integrated USB slots on the motherboard (USB .), it at times, does work, but even then, not a high chance of it happening. Even if I do successfully connect the Zen to a USB . slot without it freezing up, the Zen ends up not being detected by any program, like Window Media Player, Mediasource, or Creative Zen Micro Explorer.
    I am going out this weekend and am gonna try to buy a new USB Cable, and if that doesn't work, returning the cable, and returning the Zen Micro to be replaced. AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK...GOODBYE CREATIVE! HELLO RIO! But please, any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. I will also try to contact Creative Customer Support, but I doubt they'll tell me anything new, if I could even connect to them without being put on hold.
    System Specs:
    Windows XP Professional SP2
    Creative Zen Micro Firmware .02.05
    USB 2.0

    Yep, that's exactly my issues to.....no matter what I've done, including replacing the USB 2.0 card which WAS and Adaptec DuoConnect 2.0 card which works fine with every other USB device ever connected to it, the Zen Micro 6g is NOT recognized by Creative Media Source or WMP. It is only recognized by the PC in Device Manager, and it has a yellow marker on it, which tells me the drivers are not installed. I know I don't need the drivers installed, but even after installing them, it tells me the drivers are not installed.
    However, the answer is: it's definitely not the Micro, since it works flawlessly on my other PC and on my Toshiba notebook. So, it's some compatibility issue on that one PC. Since I refuse to let things be, I am reformatting that PC, reinstalling from scratch with WinXP and sp2. This PC has WinXP Pro but it has other issues so a reformat is in order anyway. Hopefully, this will resolve the issues. If not, then I say it's incompatibility with the Intel 865Perl m.b. But I'm at a loss as to why it won't work when plugged into the Adaptec card too.

  • Micro-freezes during gaming

    When I run exquake (OpenGL) every few seconds I get micro-freezes, usually while there is some new sound about to be played or some new model loaded. This of course does not occur when under Windows.
    How can I find out the source of the issue?

    I hope you're not trying to use the open source driver for gaming.
    How big is your root partition (assuming you don't have a separate /usr partition). Because if it was installed on a HDD, the read head could be travelling too much to get to the files. Bigger than 10 GB is a no-no in my book, but I guess it depends what you install and how much free space there's left... While Linux filesystems manage fragmentation better, there's a myth that there's no fragmentation on Linux. Not so. Here's how you check an EXT4 fs:
    # fsck.ext4 -f -E fragcheck /dev/sdb3
    You may wanna do this from a LiveCD. Do *not* run it on a mounted filesystem (i.e. while your "/" partition is in use).
    Additionally, you may want to set the noatime option in fstab on your root or /usr partition, or both.

  • Microphoto Freezes and Shuts Down During File trans

    I just bought my Creative Zen Microphoto a week ago and was pumped when I got. It worked fine for a couple of days, I didn't have a problem transfering the music through windows media player 0. everything worked fine and i was really happy with it. however, after i uninstalled it and upgraded to wmp version the microphoto FREEZES and SHUTS DOWN during file transfers. I went to the recovery menu and reformatted it and cleaned it up. I tried it again and the same thing happened. It transfered about 25 songs and just froze adn does nothing. I have tried anything and everything . PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! Thanks, Jon

    Jason, thanks for trying your help but I'm thinking now it has something to do with the hard dri've failing. But that doesnt make since becase the player still turns on fine and it still works, like i can still use the radio etc. i just can' transfer music. i installed the windows media pack thing and that didn't work. i just don't know what to do anymore. should i install the creative software that i got with my player or would that not matter? i deleted it i just think that it would not matter. it didn't seem to work when i had it installed i stil had the same problems. i just don't know what to do right now jason i am running out of ideas?

  • IMac (Early 2009) freezes at Apple Logo

    Hi Everyone,
    This is my first post, and I'm going to be as detailed as possible here.
    _Background Information_
    I work in a public school system, and we have a lab of 20-inch Early 2009 iMacs currently running 10.5.8 as well as Windows XP via Bootcamp (running CAD software). Being that these machines are at a high school, we have a firmware password set so that students can't go in and mess around.
    Recently, a few of these machines have been freezing at the gray Apple logo during startup. I've been able to fix them by doing the following:
    -Boot to install disc
    -Remove firmware password and restart
    -Reset the PRAM
    -Boot to install disc and reset firmware password
    This fixes the issue. I recently also ARD'ed a permission repair and disk verify to the whole lab to see if that helps stop the issue from recurring.
    _My Current Issue_
    I have one machine that is currently doing the same thing: it boots to the gray Apple logo and freezes before it reaches the spinning gear. I was ready to perform the above procedure to fix it, however, I have a second problem: the optical drive is malfunctioning. When I insert any disc, the drive makes a loud clicking sound and attempts to eject the disc (at which point it gets stuck and I have to physically pull on it to get it out).
    Because of the firmware password in place, I can't perform a Safe Boot, PRAM reset, verbose or single-user boot, etc. I CAN, however, get to the Startup Manager with an option boot.
    *Here is the troubleshooting I have done so far.* And the issue only gets weirder...
    -Unplugged everything and booted with a minimal system. Hangs at Apple logo.
    -Put an install disc in my Macbook Pro, booted that into Target Disk mode, connected it to the iMac via Firewire, and tried Option-booting the iMac to the install disc that way. Here, it gets to the Apple logo with the spinning gear, and shortly afterward, it freezes (spinning gear still visible but not moving).
    -I tried also booting to the internal HD of my Macbook Pro with the above method with the same result. Hangs at frozen spinning gear.
    -Option-booting to a DeployStudio flash drive to hopefully at least get to Disk Utility. iMac still freezes at the spinning gear stage.
    -Option-booting to the Windows XP side. It freezes during the "Loading Windows" screen.
    I am beginning to run out of ideas. I am an Apple Certified Macintosh technician, so it is possible for me to replace the optical drive... but I'm hoping that there is something I haven't thought of yet which can fix it without me having to open the machine. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
    - Matt

    UPDATE:
    Shortly after I posted this, I realized the one thing that I hadn't tried yet. I removed one of the two sticks of RAM, then booted the machine and was able to immediately reset the PRAM. At that point, the machine booted normally. I shut it down, re-added the RAM chip, and booted normally again.
    Looks like it's all set for now.

  • Apple tv freezes at apple logo while booting

    My apple tv was working pretty well, then I unplugged it ti connect my iPad via Hdmi and when I back to connect my apple tv it freezes at apple logo while booting it can stay like that for hours

    I don't even know if this will work...buy a USB to micro USB cable and connect the AppleTV to your computer and try doing a firmware restore. Here are the instructions from the manual:
    If Apple TV still doesn’t respond:
    Disconnect the power and HDMI cables from Apple TV.
    Connect one end of a micro USB cable (sold separately) to the back of Apple TV, and the other end to your computer.
    Open iTunes on your computer, select Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    The problem is, I don't know if your computer will be able to talk to the AppleTV if it can't even boot. So this procedure may not work. Good luck!

  • My computers still doesnt work...freezes at msi logo

    Well I posted here a few weeks ago because the bios flash failed on my msi k8t neofisr2. I sent it back, and they reflashed and I received it in the mail today. Put in everything, no problems. I press the power switch, see the msi logo, and it just sits there. Forever. Now when I look at the little D bracket lights on the back there all light up, which means the cpuis bad or not installed properly. Im pretty sure it is the cpu, because when I was removing the cpucooler and cpu before the thermal compound formed a seal so tight when I lifted up on my cooler it just ripped the cpu out as well. The pins look perfectly straight, but the base of some look a little different, a little shiner. If this ruined my cpu, which I believe it did, Its a very poor design that the cooler rips out the cpu because of the stickiness of the thermal compound. Obviously its not msi's fault because they dont design the cooler or the cpu......pisses me off though, I really cannot afford anoother close to 200 hundred dollar processor. If its not a faulty processor please tel me what to do, I tried reseting the cmos by taking the jumper out for about 20 seconds and it had no effect. It just hangs at the msi screen at the very start....but this wouldnt have happend if their liveupdate feature hadnt mysteriously failed for no reason. Liveupdate should be taken out, and bios flashing should be left to only through the floppy and dos method,which is much more reliable and less likely to spawn problems like these.
    System Specs:
    K8t neo fisr2
    amd64 3000
    1 gig of corsair VS (2 x 512)
    WD Raptor 70 gig
    msi 9800 pro
    425 w psu
    Dvd Burner etc
    Normal Sony floppy
    Windows xp home

    *read the bottom ifyou dont want to read it all, just here to archivemy total process*
    Well my pc ram perfectly before I had this whole bios flash problem, and I mean flawlessly, not one crash for over a month in windows xp (amazing huh?) So I doubt that its the PSU or memory. I did forget that you have to move the little jumper, Ill try that immediatly! I pray that it works.... and just to letyouknow, I did wiggle the cpu cooler like it says in the manual, im very careful aboutthings especialy 200 dollar cpus. Didnt help at all though, I propably spent 20minutes trying to get it out before it was ripped. The pings are not bent, I checked very very carefuly by looking at the side of it. Right now I have just the cpu in their without the cooler for testing purposes, just to see if I can get past the first screen. I doubt it will overheat within just a few seconds of simple bios type stuff. Ill try reseting the jumper now. IF that first screen comesup, does that say anything? Can my cpu still be good, I mean if it was bad would that screen even show up? If I can get intothe bios ill disable it, I had it that way before. Thanx for the help, and the thermal grease I used was the one that came with the cooler, and then recently some fairly cheap grease that I bought the other day, it was white and came in  little tube, I hope amd will not recognize it as bad if I send it back.....
    Is it more likely that my mobo socket is damaged or the cpu? Mobo is muchhhh cheaper lol
    O yes and by the way jocko the mobo just gives off one normal beep during startup, like it usually does If I remember correctly. How accurate is that dbracket thing anyways? Cables were all connected, I disconnected everything and tried both of my 512 sticks of corsair vs in slot one, and tried it with them both in slots 1 and 2 before.  I am now about to start it up again after reseting the jumper by moving it down to the lower pins, nowmoving it up as im typing this. Update soon.
    SUCESS!!!! I RESET THE JUMPER AND IT GETS PAST THAT SCREEN! I am now installing the cpu cooler, the screen I saw said "bios not installed".I never thought that message could make me so happy lol, but "bios not installed" is a nice site to see! I read another similar post about this same problem, where the guy had to keep reseting his jumper. Im so glad nothing is hopefuly damaged! Thankyou guys so much! I will read his, and ifyou have any more fixes please tell me.
    I have also decided to never update my bios on my mobo again lol
    Update: I do not have to reset the jumper ervery time, how it always does say bios not installed. So far I have botted into windows just fine, but my mouse will not be detected.... strange. I am chekcing cmos settings now, it seems to remembereven when I turn it off, however it still says bios not installed...
    Update again: I startup my computer, I turned off qucik boot,and now it says "flash recovery"and freezes......help? I got my mouse working by the way before...very strange. I am now gonna resetthe jumper, and then see how things work. I also noticed in theupper left that it says I have bios ver 1.7..... why wouold my bios not be good when it was flashed by msi? Very strange...I reset it and now it freezes at msi logo again lol, reseting again... I believe I have to flash the bios, or that maybethe motherboard is flakey.... idn.Now even when I reset it it will not fix the problem, it just sits at the msi screen.Im anow unplugging all power connectors etc to see ifthat makes a difference and letting it sit for awhile. If I do flash I woulw ant to do it with an older bios, one that I KNOW works, probably 1.2 or something similar. 1.7 seems to have many problems.
    Update again: Well, I cant get it to go pastthe stupid msi screen now, and I cant get into the bios..... I might try to do the recovery flash thingsoon, I might have the recovery disk lying around here somehwere......Well I put in the recovery disk, the logo comesup, I press ctrl +home, nothing happens. I tried it at different internvals no effect. This really really sux... did they flash it wrong or something?........I dont think the cpu is bad becuase it booted twiceinto xp just fine, fast and normal. However now I get nothing....
    I getthe error message on d bracket: Bottom attempt: this will set low stack and boot via INT 19h
    HELP JOCKO! or anyone else! Im stumped.

  • ATV2 Not showing in iTunes, and bricked, showing micro usb and iTunes logos

    Hey all,
    I was given an ATV2 for christmas a few weeks early, purchased new from Big W (Australia). I happily plugged it in on the 14th or 15th December (I can't quite remember, but I did find out later itunes match went live to a bunch of countries that day, which is why my itunes account crashed). I plugged it in, with the HDMI cable I purchased from australian apple store online, and the power cable. I connected happily to my home network, and started scrolling through the features. I came to a point in setup where it asked for my itunes ID and password. I entered these and it told me it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password.
    I tried again, same. I checked my mac to see if it was iTunes or the ATV2 that had a problem... tried to log in, and it said the same error msg. Same on my iPhone and iPad. So I knew itunes was down, and later found out it crashed internationally for some people as itunes match went live.
    Unfortunately for me, as I got that first error msg, I aborted trying to set up. I then had a pop up on the ATV2 asking me to update the software (I run the latest software on my mac, ipod, ipad, and have latest itunes by the way), I can't remember which version it had, but it asked me to update, and not knowing the login issue was accross platforms, I tried to log in again and update, hoping it was more a software issue. It seemed to begin updating then pop up with the same itunes error that it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password. At this point the device suddenly showed the micro USB to itunes logo and it became apparent it wanted me to plug into itunes for some R&R. Of course I didn't have a micro usb cable, and had to wait a week or so to get one since I live in the country with no tech shops around. It arrived and I tested it on my itrip as a charging cable. It charges my iphone nicely while plugged into the griffin itrip. So the cable works. I plugged the ATV2 into my imac (latest OSX 10.7.2 and latest itunes 10.5.2) and it doesn't come up in itunes at all. I tried a different USB port in the back of the computer as opposed to the keyboard. No luck. I tried plugging in the power cord as well, no luck. I tried a reset via ATV2 remote holiding the menu and down buttons until the LED light flashes super super fast (as opposed to its current fast flashing). No luck.
    How do I get this thing to show up in itunes? Or how can I manually reboot it if it won't show? I live nowhere near a genius bar or even the shop where my family member purchased it, and they probably lost the reciept by now anyway so I doubt I could exchange.
    Very dissapointed in Apple for not including HDMI cord or micro usb with the product, not to mention it was Apple's fault itunes crashed right as I was setting up. I'm a huge Apple fan but this is so annoying.
    I have read something about router permissions and so on being a possible cause, is this likely? My ipad, iphone and mac never took issue with our wireless network or router previously, but it was setup a year ago and I have no idea what the settings are exactly. We also have two other imac's and a ibook connecting occasionally at home (big family) and no issues there.
    I have home sharing on, I did everything the manual said. HELP!

    Thanks everyone.
    Alley_Cat I tried a new micro usb, as a last ditch effort before giving up entirely... SUCCESS! How strange the other micro usb charges my iphone via griffin iTrip perfectly, but wouldn't work with apple TV. Perhaps there are different kinds? Even more bizarre than Apple not including it in the box, is that they don't even SELL micro USB's on the Apple australian online store (or at least they didn't when I checked a week ago). Now that is stupid.
    Anyway i'm mid-restore and software update now, fingers crossed!
    Also on the HDMI cable inclusion/not inclusion debate... is it actually possible to use the Apple TV for any reason without one? Because my point is more that there is no way to do anything with the thing, without the cable. Printers that don't include usb connections usually are able to connect to your computer and network wirelessly, therefore perform their intended function without the cable. My point is simply if a device is meant to do something, you buy it expecting to do that thing. I'm lucky I had googled it and knew about the HDMI not being included, but even I missed the micro USB inclusion. At the very least this should be clearly marked on the exterior packaging so you know in store, you have to buy the device + HDMI + micro USB. Isn't Apple all about making 'things just work'?

  • There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

    Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

  • IDVD 4 now freezes the entire computer during burning

    Hello,
    iDVD 4 now freezes my entire computer during burning somewhere around stage 3. I can't even force quit. This never happened before - it does so while burning a project that had been burned successfully many times in the past and also new projects. I did have a bad RAM problem weeks ago - which is fixed now. Tried fixing permissions and cleared out enough free space. This is wierd - it has been working for years.
    Thanks very much,
    NIck M.

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)

    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
