Zen Micro - How synchronize via Outl

Hello,
two weeks ago I buyed a new zen micro. I am very sutisfied. Only one point I can solve.
I have the new firmware 2.00.2
My question is: How can I synchronize contacts and calendar via Outlook?
Tank you.

If you have the updated firmware (2.00) then you need to also download the newest version of the Media Explorer (MTP one). It won't work with the one that came with the CD (I tried, it wont recognize the player). When you install the new Media Explorer you can either use the shortcut, or go to My Computer and you will see a Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP) icon. If you have the older version still installed, then you will have two Media Explorer icons. Use the one with the (MTP). It is safe to unsinstall the old one without affecting the new installation.
Once you have the Media Explorer installed open it and click on the "Sync Music and Outlook data between PC and Device". From there you can choose whether to transfer from computer to player, player to computer, or both ways, by selecting the right Sync Direction arrows. You can also choose what you want to trasfer: music, contacts, tasks, and calendar by checking the appropriate boxes. When your ready click on Sync Now.

  • ZEN MICRO: How to save files (to my harddi

    Hi everyone!
    I would like to install most recent firmware for my ZEN MICRO.
    Creative strongly recommends, to save all data (here: music files) beforehand.
    But how?
    I should let you know, that most of the music (around 350 files) has been filed under"Albums", that I have created by myself by means of the Creative MediaSource Organizer, where I "overwrited" the original Album Name of the music file and gave them my individual sequence of tracks within "my" albums.
    I have tried it once before:
    When I save the files to my computer and copy them to my ZEN thereafter, all of my individual markings (such as Albums, sequence of tracks etc.) were "lost".
    If it only would be20 files, I could re-name them without greater effort, but with around 350 files I do not dare to do that again!!
    Any idea, any help?
    Thanks&Regards

    Here is what you should do:
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
    - Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
    - Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
    - In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
    - Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
    - Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
    - If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

  • Zen Micro wont charge via USB on first

    Hey guys,
    <EM>'ve had a look at alot of posts regarding charging Zen Micro's but none have thus far solved my problem.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>I used to have a Zen Micro Photo but it broke and I've had it replaced with a Zen Micro (6GB) with firmware ..0</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>I have so far been unable to get my Zen to charge from a laptop. I have tried the following:</EM>
    <EM>* Cleanup from Recovery mode</EM>
    <EM>* Connect player whilst locked</EM>
    <EM>* Removed and replaced battery</EM>
    <EM>* Updated drivers on windows XP (my OS)</EM>
    <EM>* Installed software on 2 laptops and had exact same results</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>My zen is now dead battery wise, when I plug it into the computer it turns on and gives my a screen that says Low Battery. Not once have I seen the charge symbol appear when it was connected to the laptop.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>When I do connect it it is seen as a MTP device on windows, and now Creative MediaSource does not recognise it as connected.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>I had similar problems with my Micro Photo but they worked themselves out somehow (I dont remember how), its getting really frustrating and I'd appreciate any help.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>Cheers guys!</EM>

    Maybe if it doesn't recognize it, you might have to install the software again (the CD that came with it).

  • Zen Micro: how many are working proper

    I bought a Zen Micro for my daughter for Christmas and finally sent it back because it was having the docking problems. I have reguarly read the messages in this forum since then, waiting for an indication that the problem has been fixed. I have read many ideas of what is causing it, from USB ., USB 2.0, usb cables, full battery charge, etc., but no consistent solution. I have also read many posts in which people say most are not having any problem.
    So, my request is, if you have a Zen Micro, and you have had no problems at all, please post a message with when you bought yours, and the firmware and software you are using. Thanks a lot for your help. I'm just trying to figure out if it is worth it to take a chance again. I don't want an Ipod with $00 non-user replaceable batteries.

    Bought my dark blue Limited Edition in mid-December from Amazon.com. I first charged the unit before doing anything else and it hung up upon completion of that first charge. Removed and replaced the battery and have had no further hangs of any sort. I upgraded to .0.03 right away and am still there. I mostly load music by syncing with WMP 0 and even without the MTP support it works fine for me. I also use Notmad Explorer occassionally to manipulate playlists. It works fine too.
    My only problem is I cannot reliably use the touch pad. I'm always selecting the wrong thing or skipping over what I want. Since I love everything else about the ZM, I'm living with the touch pad. I have tried both low and high sensitivity settings and it seems to work slightly better at the high setting.
    I haven't actually timed my battery life, but I'm guessing I'm getting somewhere around 8-0 hours playing WMA at 96kbps with Smart Volume off and only occassional use of EQ. I usually disconnect the headphones when the unit is turned off, but I don't know if that changes anything. I try to run the battery quite low (no bars or low battery warning) before a full charge, but I do let it charge for a while sometimes while its connected to the USB port on the PC.
    Unlike some, I have been very pleased with the FM radio. I get good reception even at work in my ground floor office of a mostly metal building. That's with the stock earphones.
    I started out using USB ., but added USB 2.0 to my computer (Windows XP SP2) and had no trouble with either. I have not seen the problem some have reported about problems when the battery is fully charged.
    One last thing... I have 697 songs on my ZM, with about 2.8 GB of free space.

  • Zen Micro - how to revert from 2.x to 1.x firmwa

    I upgraded my Zen Micro from .x to 2.x but now need to go backwards so I can use the Zen with a
    Windows2000 machine. Unfortunately, neither the XP machine on which I originally upgraded, nor the
    Win2K machine will update the firmware. Worse yet, I used the recovery mode / reload firmware
    command and now have a Zen with no firmware at all.
    The Zen IS recognized by windows. XP Device Manager shows it under "Portable Devices" and brings up
    a dialogue box whenever the Zen is attached. Win2K Device Manager Shows it under "Windows Portable
    Devices". However, when I run the firmware update program, the program says the device is not connected.
    I have read all the FAQs and posts on the subject (including http://forums.creative.com/showthrea...t=34337#M92998) but have not found any way of reloading ..0.
    Can a moderator or admin please confirm if there is ANY way out of this situation? Thanks in advance.

  • Zen micro, how do i delete everythi

    i want to delete all the tracks i put on it and start from scratch.is there a way to do this without going one by one? i tried deleting the playlist, deleting the genre (only had one on there so far) but the music is still there when i go to "all tracks". how do i delete everything? also on a sidenote, what does the new firmware update do? thanks

    The player makes a distinction between removing a track from the Now Playing and actually deleting the track from the player, and you can't delete a song while it's playing. If the song is playing, Remove will be your only option, and then it will just be removed from Now Playing but not actually deleted.
    To delete a song fully from the player when you aren't docked, you find the track in the music library and use the little drop-down menu button (the lower right button) and you can choose Delete. That's why you think you're removing songs but they don't go away - you just removed them from your Now Playing list while still leaving the track on the player.
    The best way to delete everything, in my opinion, would be to just pull up all your tracks in the Organizer when you are docked and then select all of them using the Shift key (click first, hold down shift, then click the last one) and then just hit the delete key. Or else you can reformat, like the others said.

  • Zen micro not charg

    Hi guys, I looked thru the FAQ and previous postings but can't seem to find anything on this problem. Anyways, I can't seem to get my zen micro to charge via the wall charger even though the battery is near dead, no bars. The micro just acts as if it isn't plugged in at all. I tried using a power strip to try to 'jump' start the battery as suggested as well as keeping the hold on when charging but nothing seems to work. I'm currently on a long trip without my usb connector so I can't try connecting to a computer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can try to get this thing charging? Thanks.Message Edited by ppong828 on 08-26-2005 03:23 AM

    thx ssr for the suggestion. fortunately i'm living with someone who has a multimeter but unfortunately I'm not so great with this sort of electronical testing. I'm not exactly sure how to use one to test the usb end of the wall charger for the output voltage since the output end is so small but I couldn't get any reading. Also, I couldn't get a resistance on the input end so maybe that means that the wall charger may have shorted out. thx again for your help.

  • Lost disk, cannot synchronize Zen micro

    Can anybody help me with my Zen micro? (probably 2006) ?We have e new computer and I cannot find the software disk.
    I've tried a lot of the downloads on the support site, but I still cannot synchronize in the downloaded software or the?Microsoft media player. The message that the device is not connected keeps appearing. One of the downloads made it possible to load the Zen with songs, but I still cannot sync, remove or change the name of the songs.
    I've tried new firmware and recovery software but then again the same message,player is not connected keeps coming up!? Can anyone tell me how I can synchronize with media player of synch in any other way?!
    Thank you!

    None original sofware actually! The original disk that came with my zen is lost (moving and new computer)? I downloaded creative jukebox driver and tried mediasource 5 aswell. Jukebox driver made it possible to write to the zen.
    Mediasource 5 didn't work. so I removed it again. In the mediasource the message that no device was found kept coming up....
    When you installed CMS5 did? you also install the Plug-in for it's Without the plug-in it's pretty much just a media player.You would need to install the plug-in version 5.00.22. located on page . Install CMS5 version 5.0.38 first then the plug-in.

  • How to transfer all music in my Zen Micro to either my PC or another mp3 player....help ple

    i have a creative micro zen with about 000 handpicked and some very hard to find songs on it...i don't really have trouble with the player itself, just the software and the continous problems seems like everyone is having with something... my question is this..........if i wanted to get another mp3 player as a backup in case this one crashes, then what does everyone think about one of the smaller ipods? what about their software and such? and, if i do decide to get an ipod, then how would i transfer all these 000 mp3 songs onto the new ipod? would there be an issue with the fact that they are not bought from itunes?? would it not be safe to do that? and if it is okay to do that,? how would i transfer the songs back onto my PC, as i have tried everything suggested on this board recently in trying to do that using Mediasource and it just won't work even after downloading all new plugins etc. if someone has an idea about this, please let me know step by step if possible about how i can get these songs that are valuable to me from my zen micro, to my computer, and then onto another mp3 and if ipod (nano for instance) is a wise choice or if there is another player in the same category that others have found they have waaaay less problems with and better support/service with it's?any help anyone gives would be greatly appreciated!? i appreciate all the suggestions to my other questions as well!?thanks,barb

    for a new mp3 player, i would get this one, its awesome (and the one i would get if i had a choice instead of my microphoto that broke)... here's a link

  • A way how to fix the Zen Micro head phone jack prob

    Hi! I am one of the many people that purchased a Zen Micro MP3 player, I loved it until around 6 months of use, an audio shorting problem with the head phone jack, started to repeat it's self every time, that I would plug my head phone's into the Zen Micro head phone jack. After awhile, I was tired of this problem, so I just decided to never use it again, unless I could find out if the maker of the Zen Micro had a repair service. I noticed that some people had their Micro's replaced a few times under the warranty that is included with the player. I also noticed that some one created a way to fix this problem, but I wanted to see if I could find an easier way to fix the problem. Well I did end up finding an easier way to fix the problem, this is what I did.
    Absolutely in all means I can't be held responsible / reliable for any unforseen thing / things, that you may or could, do to the Zen Micro, by following the instructions, which I provided. By trying what I did by following the instructions, which I provided you; you accept all responsibility to any thing / things, that may or could happen to the Zen Micro.
    The Instructions:
    I took a stapler pressed it down to get a used staple then I carefully inserted it in the outer part of the plastic head phone jack ring. Then I pressed the rest of the staple flat against the Zen micro. And Now I get great sound, it is at least better than, the way it was before I inserted the staple. I would suggest to always remove the staple. When you connect the Zen Micro to a computer, charging device, or any other device other than a pair of head phones. You understand that if you leave the staple inserted in the Zen Micro and don't remove it. While you have it connected to a computer, charging device, or any other device, or devices, even a pair of head phones, and some thing happens, you can't hold me responsible.
    If you would like to see a photo of how it looks please reply to this message and just include your email address please. I will send it to you as soon as possible. The photo has 4 photos sized down to perfectly fit on one photo, so you can get a good idea of what it should look like.

  • Zen Micro Busted, how do I get a replaceme

    My zen micro keeps "eating my headphones". Any pair of headphones I plug into this thing get eaten in about 3 weeks. They no longer work with any devices unless I twist the connecting wire into a bunch of odd positions. I hoped onto the interweb and found out that this was a sort of common problem. I wanted to know how to go about getting a replacement from creative. I feel that they should pay for their own faulty manufacturing, I don't want to be out 200 bucks because their product doesn't work. Other than this problem I love the little guy!

    Make sure you try those headphones on other devices, it's possible none of them are broken but that the player is. I can't say I've ever heard of any players breaking headphones before.
    If the player is faulty, the best thing to do would be to contact Customer Support directly, to see how they can assist you:

  • Zen Micro Headphone Problem: How long does it ta

    Hi all,I took my Zen Micro Unit (purchased March 2005) back to the place of purchase today, so that it could be submitted for service to correct the Headphone Jack problem. I was wondering how long it will take now before the unit is either repaired or replaced, as I am already suffering from withdrawal symptoms... I'm missing my music ? Please, anyone who has had this service performed by Creative, let me know:
    a) whether the unit can be repaired or is just replaced, </LI>
    b) if the unit is to be replaced can I be assured that the problem won't occur again</LI>
    c) how long will it take to receive some kind of notification from Creative?</LI>
    Cheers,Brett

    how long will it take to receive some kind of notification from Creative?
    Since you took it back to the store for the repair, you should contact the store for the updates info. I don't think creative will contact you regarding the repair.Reason, simple. Cos it's the store(directly) that return the player to them and not you. and not creative since they won't know who send those player back except it's from the store.
    if the unit is to be replaced can I be assured that the problem won't occur again
    No one in the world can assure you this cos there's no 00% unbreakable products
    whether the unit can be repaired or is just replaced,
    Most likely replaced and not repair according to the majority of the post here.

  • How long has your Zen Micro been in working conditi

    Just another question... how long have you guys had your Zen Micro's without problems, or without any disfunctioning (dont think thi is the right word but w.e) problems. I am hearing all of these bad things about the Micro and i've only had it for week, im worried about my Micro's fate.

    don't worry about it. your micro will do just fine. Mines has been workin' flawlessly since i got it 5 months ago.
    You have to remember, these forums are like an emergence room for mp3 players. All you will hear here is negati've stuff.
