Zen Micro Keeps Getting Random Free

Just bought myself a Zen Micro 5gb yesterday. Updated the firmwire to the latest version--version .02.05.
The problem is that the Zen Micro keeps on freezing randomly during the playback of music. When it freezes, the only way to reboot is through taking out the battery and having it rebuild the library again. I'm quite happy with the purchase but this presistent problem sounds like it's going to lead to bigger ones.

It could be your musics that you uploaded into the player. How did you do transfer your music?... If you use MediaSource.. I would recommend upgrade that software also; from www.nomadworld.com
Try reload your music after you have the latest version of the Mediasource.
Have fun,
K

I am not sure if my macbook has a virus because i keep getting random things pop up underneath my google search bar and id like some kind of antivirus for my problems.....as i am not sure if it is critical ???? anyone help me

Virus no, but it malware ..
Download and run the adware removal tool here > The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Easy, safe, and only takes a minute or two.
Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
Anti virus software is not necessary on a Mac. The pop ups are due to malware, not a virus. Do not click on advertisements in websites.

My Zen Micro keeps freezing up when i shut it d

as stated in my subject, my Zen micro keeps freezing when i try to shut it off (it stays at the "shutting down player" screen). then, no buttons work and the only thing for me to do is take the battery out and put it back in. Is this happening to anyone else? I sent it back to them last time for this and they said they "fixed" it, but they mailed it back to me with the same problem not repaired. kind of annoying. Does anyone know anything more about this or if i'm doing something wrong when i'm shutting it off (not that I imagine anyone could possibly screw that up, but who knows). Thanks a lot.

What else have you tried? For example, have you worked through the options in Rescue Mode?

After restoring 120 Gig Ipod classic, Keep getting random Sync errors?

So, I was using a third party software called Media Monkey to tag some album art on my ipod. For whatever reason my the program kept closing out and crashing. Eventually it crashed so hard that it wiped my entire library of music. After some failed attempts to save my music by taking it off of the hidden ipod_Control folder, I gave up and restored it. After the restore, whenever I attempt to add music I keep getting random numbered sync errors (for example -50, -1303.-69,-53). This is only after I add about 3 or 4 gigs of space. (I tired re adding the music album by album and still have the same issue after only 2 gigs of space.) I have NEVER had a problem with this ipod before, it's not even 4 months old yet so i'm not sure what is going on here. I have called apple three times (all i'm told is if I want actually help and not articles that i've already used, I have to pay.) I have tired making it a disk drive but itunes still treats my ipod like it's an ipod and not a disk drive. Any help would be REALLY nice. Thank you for reading! I've also restore my ipod multiple times as well.

Hopefully it is only a filesystem corrupted by conflicting Apps.
Try to fix the iPod filesystem, using Properties->Tools->error checking.
Then Restore the iPod.
if then doesn't work, do the iPod Disk Diagnostics, as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem , but helps in troubleshooting.
Good Luck!

My zen micro keeps freez

Hi... I hope you can help me. I am fairly new user and I have had a great experience so far with my zen micro.
My first issue was running Creative MediaSource. These boxes were popping up saying something about associations. I was going to write them down today, but now they are not showing up once I tried to plug in my player with my USB connection. I did find that I had to click yes on the 4-5 boxes to continue on or MediaSource would not run.
Then one time while using my player last week, the screen froze up and the music stopped. The screen that says 'Creative' at start up appeared and it would not turn on or off. When I plugged it in, the screen was lit up showing that it was fuctioning. I took the battery out and put it back in, the player worked again for awhile. Now for a day or so, it worked fine until I plugged it into my computer and it would not recognize the player. I unplugged it and the screen is frozen on the music playing screen.
I don't know what to do from here. I have XP on my computer, but I don't know what firmware I have. It is not the newest one from July. I tried to read up on the current issues of the firmware and don't want to create more problems if this firmware is faulty. Also I don't know how to download it and use it with my player if it is on a frozen screen and unrecognized by my USB connection.
Please can you offer some advice that will helpme understand what is going on.
Thanks,
Steph

Can you get into Rescue Mode and run a Disk Cleanup? See the FAQ Part post.

Where do i send my zen micro to get fi

hi,
a few days ago my zen micro got wet(realy wet) and now stops at the first creative screen and only goes that far when pluged into the computer well anyway does any one know where i can send it to get fixed?
if you do it would be a big help.

You need to RMA your product. Contact costumer support and they will tell you how to start the process. You can also do a search on the forums I have seen other posts asking how to RMA a product (in other words, it means sending it back to the Labs and having it fixed, then shipped back to you). Good luck!

Zen micro and getting Zen Media Player to recognize

I went back to firmware .0.03 and reinstalled the Zen software after getting no where with firmware that works with MS media player.
I noticed two things.
the device installs differnently in the hardware profile between the two firmware versions
2 If I start the Zen media player and then connect my Zen Micro things work ok. If I connect my Zen Micro and then activate Zen media player things are hit and miss on detecting the Micro.
This just me or have others seen the same thing?Message Edited by summersr on 03-08-2005 03:38 AMMessage Edited by summersr on 03-08-2005 03:39 AM

Just a thought
Might try re-installing the software from the Zen disk (select repair option).
I noticed that it takes an extremely long time to install all of the parts and pieces and if you exit before it finishes you do not have all of the things the Zen needs to function.

MAC OS X UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT - Keep getting random shut off's/Kernel Panic's

So i am in college and have the first generation of Intel iMac and it keeps on randomly getting the grey screen with the message that says "You need to Shut Down Your Computer" or something. I then shut it off and turn it back on and i get a message saying Your Computer restarted because Mac OS X unexpectedly quit. This has haooened at least ten times to me and its really inconvenient when it happens in the middle of a paper or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more information or just post and ill respond ASAP. I copied the last crash log which I will post below. I recently got an El Gato EyeTV and it has been happening since that but i dont really feel like that should make it start going crazy.
Anyways, please respond, i really need to sort this out soon.
Thank you so much,
Hunter Nolan
(p.s. this crash log is a lot shorter than most the rest. I can dig them up if needed from my library.)

Where to Buy Zen Micro and get all the goodi

Hi everyone. I have a MuVoN200 and I love it to death, but I am ready to move on to something bigger. I have had no problems with Creative and I would like to get a Zen Micro.
I've been reading on the internet how some people get different things in their box! Some have a belt clip/stand thing and some don't. I would, of course, like to get the most acessories for my money, so where should I buy mine to get all of the acessories?
I'm considering Target since I have a Target card . . . but Walmart is having a sale on them right now. I saw them in Best Buy, but the box was pretty small, not the tall one. Any input would be appreciated!!

I just received my Zen Micro from bhphotovideo.com for $70 with all the extras (charger, stand):
http://tinyurl.com/8qcro
However, it came in a box (rumored to be old, prone to headphone jack problem), not plastic packaging. And the firmware installed was only .0.03. This also makes me feel it might not be the newest model with the rumored fix for the headphone jack problem, even though it's from a high-volume reseller. For me, I'll just pay $40 for the extra warranty to balance my risk. Maybe ask Creative where you can buy a newer, headphone-jack-secure Micro with all the trimmings?

Zen Micro Photo gets a boost

...8GB @ $249 coming this September / October:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,895,847705,00.asp
This will give the YPod Mini 6GB a major run for the money. Looks like Creative is starting to get a bit more serious (and adult) about fighting the DAP Wars.

i reckon the zen micro is gonna get a major price cut after the released of the zen micro photo.
Ya, i was thinking the same thing. I was saying to myself, hey, i should get a micro once they go down in price. but then i realized i'd want the photo capabilities and would want the 8GB photo version.
I guess its a good thing. people can get a nice photo micro. and people can get a cheaper normal micro.

Zen Micro Keeps locking

Every time I try to connect my zen micro to my computer, I always get a message on my computer that says the usb device is not recognized. And, the zen micro locks up, with the only way to 'un-lock' it is to unplug the usb cable and then remove the battery. This happens EVERY time i connect to the computer via the usb cable. Can someone help me?
Thanks

I've been having similar problems with my Zen Micro recently... first time it crashed the USB port wouldn't recognise it on the PC. Wasn't sure why, but plugged Micro into the charger and it sparked up again. Happened again 2 days ago when I was listening to music, song just stopped and screen went to 'Creative .. blah blah registered trademark etc", can't turn it on or off (have to take battery out to power off!), have tried to reset it but didn't work. So plugged it into charger and worked again... however 3rd time happened not so lucky - charging it does nothing! I think its shagged - not happy as happened 2 hours into a 2 hour flight! Its had the new version of firmware installed, but not sure if I can reinstall as the PC doesn't recognise it... any help appreciated. THANKS!!

Zen Micro not getting powered

New Zen Micro 4GB Player. (2 days old)
Was working fine and now suddenly, it's not getting powered on.
Battery had enough power before it became dead.
Looking for some help on this issue.
Thanks
Krishna

Thanks.
Your suggestion brought my Zen Micro back to Life. I was really happy but it didn't last long. Because the touchpad seems to evoke no action on the player. I can perform the functions (like playing a song) through the Creative Software suite while being connected to the PC. Once disconnected from the PC, Zen Micro goes dead, though the the battery is adequately charged (for about three hours). Still could not power on using the touch pad power on option.
Awaiting your suggestion..

Various problems with Zen Micro, but getting smaller and small

Last night I turned on my Zen Micro and heard Led Zeppelin's All of my Love for about 4 seconds before the micro froze and started buzzing, reminding me of my Nintendo when the cartridge was dirty. So I tried restarting it several times and it continued with the same. I left it for the night, since I was at someone else's house and had not installed the new firmware; I needed to be at my laptop to mess around with it. In the morning, I looked up some stuff and found out how to access the recovery mode, which I did. I did all of the options, the last one being to format the hard dri've. I had already erased the firmware, but I formatted the hard dri've after I plugged it into my USB port and saw that it had been corrupted anyways and it was completely empty. Then, seeing as everything was gone anyways, I took the opportunity to download the firmware updates and install them, or at least attempt to. I got a message saying the battery level was too low, and to charge it before installing the firmware. I took out the battery and it ran on main power while I installed the first firmware. Then, I put the battery back in and installed the second firmware (newest) and it gave me the same error message about the level being too low. I took out the battery again, but this time it just turned off. I didn't quite understand so I just went to sleep and left it charging. I woke up and was able to install the firmware. Then I went to Windows Media and synced my library to the Micro. Bad idea. I don't know if it's the same with any of you, but I don't exactly love all the songs in my music library. It took every audio file I have on my computer and put it on the Micro. So I figured I'd just open MediaSource and do the whole editing thing I did before it got busted. That doesn't work because of course the music under Creative Zen Micro is different from the music under PC Music Library which, until today, were identical. Now. All I want to know is how I can look at the music inside my Micro in the same way I would if it were in my PC Music Library, where I have a scroll bar on the side with all the artists and albums and a list of tracks next to it. I need this because instead of everything being free and looking the same way it would in my downloads folder, everything is now in folders by artist name and it will take me forever to figure out which songs I do and do not want. Still, at least I've got it working now.

It shouldn't be, assuming you synced via WMP the contents of the PC Music Library. Ultimately the contents of the PC Music Library is irrelevant though as don't you want to edit the contents of the player? I'm guessing you're using the v2 firmware which makes this a little harder...
Now.

You can't. That's the problem with the v2 firmware. You might want to go back to the . firmware. For the differences in the firmware versions look at the FAQ post.

Zen Micro: Cannot Get Past Second Creative L

I just got a 5gb Zen Micro yesterday. And it worked fine...for a few hours.
It locked up so I took out the battery and put it back in. It got past the first Creative logo, the one with the Copyright 2004, but it just stopped on the second. When I press a button, the LEDs don't come on. I am able to get it to Recovery Mode, but when I choose a mode; a window to double-check pops up and if I click Yes, it switches to the next window. But it doesn't seem to do anything. I can't hear the hard disk working, but if I press buttons it does 'click'.
Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to make use of my replacement warranty earlier then I thought?
Thanks.
