ZEN Micro hard drive crashes my i
I have a 5GB ZEN Micro. Works perfectly on my PC.
When I try to hookup the ZEN as a removable hard dri've to my (iMac OS 9.x), I can see or play files. But if I attempt to copy the files to my Mac - or to copy files from Mac to ZEN - it crashes my Mac OS.
Has anyone discovered a way to make the Mac more compatible with the ZEN hard dri've?
There is software which you can get for a Mac, but it only runs on OS X 0.3
Its called XNJB and the link: <a href='http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/index.html' target=_blank>http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/index.html[/url]
Check them out and give support and hopefully they might release a Mac version for OS X 9 and moreMessage Edited by DM on 05-9-2005 :2 AM

It seems to me that there is a rash of hard dri've failures in the Zen Micro Series. The one main symptom of this is freezing at the CREATIVE startup screen, and disk check and format do nothing. Most of these players seem to have been gifts for Christmas or (insert your holiday here). I just wanted to make this thread so that maybe people could post their details of what happened (i.e. place of purchase, color, etc) so maybe we could figure out a pattern to all this.
Thanks!

got it on christmas could not use it till today
Have been trying to use it for 3 hours still have not gotten it to work.
Reloaded the firmware four times (the updated firmware)
Finally got it to load some songs, then I couldn't get my PC to recognize it anymore. I have three PC's all P4's, quality motherboards, and my work PC none of which are registering the device. It picks it up for a second then freezes and the PC drops the connection the zen micro freezes up and crashes forcing me to take battery out. I researched this for months and although I rarely buy things when they first come out I did it anyway. Now I'm kicking myself, 244 bucks down the tube. I was on hold for hour 0 mins for customer service today when I had to go back to work and of course they aren't open on the weekends or at night. I'm not happy. -
Creative Zen Micro Hard Drive Er
Hi, my Creative Zen Micro has an hard dri've error. I tried Recovery Mode on it but once it turns on, it doesn't display Recovery Mode but Hardri've error. I was wondering if anyone could help. I was playing a song in wma format and I have the latest firmwire, v..0. As it was playing, it froze on me, I took the battery off to shut it, and when I inserted the battery back in, it came up with the hard dri've error message. Can anyone help me?
Hard disk error is a serious one unfortunately, and as I'm sure you guessed it means the hard disk has failed in some way.
You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net at your OWN RISK.
If you aren't under warranty you can contact Creative Support to see if they will repair it. If you want to try repairing it yourself, taking the risk the hard disk is at fault, then you can follow Rudi Cheow's excellent guide. There's also a thread here at the Zen Nomadness.net forum on compatible dri'ves, and the last page of Rudi's guide also has information on this. -

Today i was listening to my player and the music froze. When I restarted it sticks on the Creative screen. Did my hard dri've just die? The player is not year as yet so I am hoping they will fix it at no cost.

I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?
Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software. -
Hard drive crashed - how to import my data back to itunes?
my hard drive crashed.
I reload windows, install itunes,
but when i connect iphone it wants to delete everything off it.
oddly enough it imported the photos. why cant it jsut import everything?
the reason why i dont want to wipe it and start over is because I have dozens of addresses stored in Tomtom.
if i tell to setup new device it will delete all apps including the saved data in those apps
so i'm wondering how can I get round this problem?
i have all my apps saved on a second drive.
why cant itunes just recognize this is your phone and let all app data remain on it and resync? why does it have to delete everything even after i verify my account?You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Hard drive crashed. How do I get OSX on my new drive?
I think my hard drive crashed, oh my. First, let me say that all my data is backed-up on a cloud drive or on my network drive. So, I am good there. The computer is now completely inoperable, can't start up, not even in safe mode. Just goes to Apple grey screen and then shuts down, that Issa far as I can get. Does not even play the start-up chime anymore.
Question I have is this: I did not make a bootable start-up drive (dumb), so when I get a new drive to replace this, how will I get the OS on it to start- up and get the new drive ready?If you don't get a startup chime then you may have a worse problem. Just be prepared.
What year is your MBP? From 2011 onward you would use Internet Recovery. Earlier you would need to install the original software that came with the computer on software restore DVDs.
Internet Recovery
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
DVD Installation:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. -
How do I restrore iTunes content after hard drive crash?

Asking for help getting previous purchases on my ipod touch and iPad... my computer hard drive crashed and I replaced it. My music was a mess. I restored most back but some of my purchased music is saying it is downloaded but it is nowhere to be found. I don't understand why I can't get the music I already paid for back in my library. Any help? would be appreciated...
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Are you doing this?
You have to sign in and download each iTunes account individually. -
Hi everyone,
I am looking for help and maybe someone can help me please. My hard drive crashed and dell installed a new one. I have two iphones and an ipad with all my apps, music, amd photos. Can anyone indicate me what to do so I do not lose everything when I plug in my phone. ThanksNaturally you should have a recent backup of your "crashed" hard drive. If you don't, well, hopefully you've learned a lesson but that doesn't solve your current problem.
If all your apps and media were purchased from the iTunes App Store, don't worry about them. Redownload all your apps and media, then allow iTunes to sync with and wipe your iOS devices - which will also put all the apps and media on them. You'll lose your settings, and any data which resided only on the iOS devices, and of course you'll need to organize your iOS folders and home screens and whatnot. But you won't really lose much, and without a backup this is your best choice.
If you have media from sources other than the iTunes App Store, look at Senuti or similar applications designed to copy media from iOS devices to computers. Use that first, then sync as I described in my second paragraph above. (I mention Senuti because it's popular. There are other options which work just as well, and some are even free.) -
Hard Drive Crash - getting a Photo Book onto new computer
I just had a catastrophic hard drive crash on my G5 iMac (still using 10.4, so no Time Machine). Thankfully I actually got all my photos back - backed up 2 months ago, most of the rest are still on our memory card, and the few that aren't I could save using a disk recovery program.
However, I still have an iPhoto hard copy book on the dead drive, but hadn't ordered it yet, and would like to recover it. Even with the disk recovery program, the iPhoto library is in bad shape (I couldn't copy it to another drive - just got an error message). However, most of it appears intact. Here's what I'm hoping to do:
1) Restore (on a new drive) from my backup from 2 months ago
2) Copy back in the photos I either saved from the dead hard drive, or from my camera's card.
3) Somehow get back the iPhoto book I'd been working on. Here's my question - where in my old iPhoto library would I find the file or files that make up this book? If I find them, can I simply copy those files into my backed-up iPhoto library? Or is there some other way I can get my iPhoto book back?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!Welcome to the Apple Discussions. All books, calendars, cards, etc. are contained in the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto. If you can recover that file from your damaged drive put it in your recovered library and see if it will bring back the book. However, if the structure of the library package is not exactly like it was when it crashed it will not work.
Without a complete backup of the iPhoto LIbrary package it's neigh on to impossible to recover a book or calendar from bits and pieces of a recovered library. There are other ways a library can be damaged, primarily the database file, and a very easy way to recover from it is to have a *very current* backup copy of the database file. One way to achieve is it described in the tip at the end of my signature. It describes a way to have a backup copy that can be only minutes old if you run it properly.
Also, to protect your image files themselves get an external HD and use it to backup the full library and other important files.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
My hard drive crashed and I replaced it. I also switched from ATT to Verizon for my iPhone. Now when I sync with iTunes, only about a tenth of my songs are on the new iPhone. one or two from each album. I still have an iPad with all my songs on it. I subscribed to music match, but when I try on the iPad it wants to match with iTunes and erase a\the music on the iPad. I have no music on iCloud when I sign in. Can anyone help me???
If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!No backup is a huge mistake.
