Zen Micro; Mac OS 9 and Windows

hi,
i was wondering, i have a macintosh computer running Mac OS 9 and i also have a PC running Windows XP, do i have to have the harddri've formatted on my Zen Micro to use it on the mac (kinda like the iPod) or can i just use it like i normally do? also, is it possible to use iTunes (windows XP) for my Zen Micro? if so, how?
sorry for all the questions and thanks

Hi, I have been trying to run my zen on my mac for the past few days now. I am using os9..At first i tryed to just insert the player into my mac and it came up with a untitled folder with the files in the folder. (zen is in detachable disk mode) i can browse the different folders ect but when i try to transfer something to or from the zen my mac freezes. I have tryed the plug-ins ect listed in the FAQ section but i am sure those are all for os X as they are yet to work for me.
If anyone can help out here it would be much apreciated. Many Thanks!!

  • Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site

    This started for me 1/17/2011 on the savingsbank.com website:
    Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site https://www.savingsbank.com
    NO other browsers - Explorer, Chrome, Safari - give this error box on this site. Please advise if this has to do with the bank site? or Firefox compatibility.
    Saw in a forum someone else having this problem and they were told it had to do with their Date and time being off?? I've been on several computers, all with the correct date and time and they've all shown this Insecure Certificate statement on my bank site with Firefox and no other browser.

    I've looked at the banking site with IE8 and it does NOT show me that "This connection is Untrusted" window. (please see attached screen shot of viewing the site with IE8) It opens fine and has "Identified by Network Solutions" showing on the address bar as it always does.
    The latest version of Opera (not earlier ones) does show a problem with the website's security certificate.
    We've contacted the bank about this, and they say there's no problem with their certificate but are looking into it.
    My question remains, why only Firefox and one version of Opera claim this and NO other browser?

  • HT4818 I want to have an exFAT parition in addition to the Mac OS X and Windows partition.  If I create it before running BootCamp, it wants me to delete it.  If I create it in either Windows or Mac OS X afterwards, I can no longer dual boot.

    I want to have an exFAT parition in addition to the Mac OS X and Windows partition.  If I create it before running BootCamp, BootCamp wants me to delete it before continuing.  If I create it in either Windows or Mac OS X after running BootCamp and installing both OSes, I can no longer dual boot.  What is the magic sequence to get this to work?

    I've got the same quandary.
    After upgrading my hard drive to a Momentus XT Hybrid and doing a clean install of Mountain Lion, I was surprised that I couldn't format partitions separately and then restore from my clone of the old Windows 7 Partition. I found that I had to use the BootCamp Assistant to manage it all, which essentially meant getting rid of the partitions and starting again...   
    I now can't get my Windows / BootCamp partition to boot, after adding a 3rd, ExFat, partition, when it was working perfectly fine before. I just get a lot of dos booting failures and a final message that "No boot device is available, press Enter to continue".  
    See the attached message, that I get when trying to boot the bootcamp partition, through Parallels 7; which also worked perfectly fine before.
    Be good to know if there is a work around this in Mountain Lion as, if not, I'm thinking I might skip Bootcamp altogether and just install a machine drive via Parallels. As suggested here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1420754
    I might even keep the virtual windows machine on a separate hard drive and then I'll have no need for the ExFat partitions altogether as that was designated for  sharing between Windows  and Mac.

  • External HDD formatting for use in Mac OS X and Windows

    I've been gifted with WD (My Passport) 1TB External HDD. On the box it says it requires reformatting for use in Mac OS X.
    I used the earlier discussions. I couldn't decipher the steps details as it was mostly by level 4 above.
    Can any honourable member advice me on how to reformat my new external HDD for use in Mac OS X and Windows (As in office and during meetings I might haveto use wwindows system)
    Also if done with formatting will this be allowing to setup Time Machine back ups.
    Please be sure that I want to use time machine exclusively for backup, some earlier discussions mention that TM can also be used for OS booting etc.,
    I would be greatful to all who will help me in these regard

    Normally the drives are formated as exFAT which could be used by both a Mac and a PC out of the box.  Connect the drive to your computer it should be able to read it.  If not then the system will ask you if you want o erase the hard drive.  Select yes, it will format the drive for use with a Mac only.  This is the required format to use it as a Time Machine backup.  As stated in our post you would like to use this hard drive on both Windows and Mac, you should reformat the hard drive as exFAT in disk utility. 

  • Leopard / Bootcamp / Vista / Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows

    On the apple page it says I can copy files from mac to windows?
    "Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows
    Copy, open, modify, or delete files in Mac OS X that you saved to your Windows partition. Leopard understands the Windows FAT32 disk format."
    I tried installing Vista in bootcamp, but it says I cannot install in FAT32? So i format it to NTFS.
    So here's my question, Can i still copy files between mac and pc, if I format into NTFS or am using vista?
    Thanks

    I am quite a simple soul really and very easily pleased.
    All I seek is a partition of some sort that I can save all my created work to - whether in XP Pro or OS X 10.5. But it has to be a large partition - probably a single partition on a large drive.
    It would be sweeter still for Spotlight to do what it does (and it does on a FAT partition) and sweeter still for Time Machine to be very user friendly and do what it presently does not do and include created files into the TM.
    Now that really would be very pleasant. Very pleasant indeed.

  • Zen micro file transfer error and playing mista

    My Zen Micro 5GB had some problems wih the sound:sometimes, listening to a song, I heard (more orless) a second of another song but after that isreturned to the selected one. This is not the only problem: sometimes, whentransferring data between a PC and the player'sstorage dri've (2GB) it stops after a while.When transferring music from the player to the PCusing Music Organizer the PC receives some musicbut after a while it stops and displays amessage 'Cannot transfer file: file not found';after this, the player remains 'busy' also if youclose all the programs opened. I tried to fix this in many ways I installed the version 2.x firmware, so Icould re-install the latest .x version.2) I learned how to access the recovery functionsand I tried all of themBut after all this, it continues to display theerror message and I think sometimes it could stopplaying the song I'm listenig to and play asecond of another one.

    all the songs are mp3 format
    the transfer window pops up, the status will say writing for about 5sec. then the error comes up and says unable to create file - restart player and try again.
    but then the player has the acti've docked logo on, which you aren't supposed to unplug from the computer when that's on, but it will not go off. I've left it for hours and ended up unplugging it anyway. So I've restarted it, pulled the batter and retried that a few times too.
    Any ideas?
    thanks for your help

  • 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...

    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.

  • Can I dual boot with MAC OS/X and Windows

    What is the best way to configure a dual boot on my MAC Bookpro laptop? Also, can I dual boot Windows 8 and MAC OS?

    The first alternative is a dual-boot arrangement between OS X and Windows provided with OS X.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Zen Micro 2.20.05 and Undocking method

    Well I upgraded to 2.20.05 and I am happy to report it is working great and synching great with my Yahoo music subscription! I didn't even lose any songs during the upgrade.
    My question is that when I undocked after the upgrade I still got the bad "file rebuilding" screen. I hoped that this v2 upgrade would fix that. I had thought I read that this the file rebuilding too often is not good for the micro?
    Is there a special way I should undock (from usb/pc) to prevent that? Was this even an upgrade in the latest v2?

    Who has a Zen Micro (5gb) that runs great and wants to keep it that way!

    RBBrittain - Do you do something different than just unplug your micro to not get that file rebuilding screen? ie lock, etc? I get it most of the time when I unplug mine, but not always, but I can never figure out exactly what I've done different when I don't get it.
    Does anyone know the "correct" way to undock? Mine never shows up in xp to remove hardware safely so I just end up unplugging it (of course not in the middle of any action)
    I don't think I do anything "special" while undocking. I think the biggest thing I do is that I usually let it charge via USB, and after charging it eventually goes into "idle shutdown".
    MTP players don't show up in Remove Hardware Safely; generally only removable dri'ves (MSC devices, including MuVo/Zen Nano/Neeon players, plus the Micro in "removable disk" mode) do. With the Micro, you know when it's OK to unplug by looking at the arrows on the Docked screen: Gray (filled) arrows mean don't unplug, while white (unfilled) arrows mean it's OK to unplug.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • CD & DVD burnt on Mac OS 10.4 X cannot open on Mac 10.5 and Windows X

    My client who uses Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard and Windows X could not open both DVD and CD that I burnt on my Mac OS X 10.4. They could open those discs only on Mac v10.0 Trial. The discs that I used were Maxell DVD+R (upto 16x) and Imation CD-R. I didn't use any particular sofware to burn them, just used burn disc funtion. What are the problems and how can I fix them? I would appreciate your advice on this!

    p.s.  Please do not advise me to install the new free Mavericks OS.  10.6.8 is the latest version my Mac will run.

  • Zen Micro Problem -- Just TRY and figure this one out

    So, I never dropped my zen micro, never played soccer with it, never sent it to the moon. It's possible someone else has, and isn't fessing up to it, but all I know is I came home one day to find a non-working Zen Micro.
    The symptoms: I can charge batteries, I can make it glow blue by plugging it in. If it's running just off battery it gets to the CREATIVE screen and just stays there until the battery dies. If it's plugged in, it does the same thing but glows blue.. and doesn't die.
    I CAN go into recovery mode, but none of the options do anything [well, restart does.. it takes me back to the CREATIVE screen]. The other ones keep formatting and whatnot forever, which is a good indication it just froze as soon as I pressed format.
    I also tried to plug it in, and format it off my computer as a removable disk, but unfortunately neither my computer nor my friends is picking up the Zen Micro as a removable disk and placing it on the My Computer tray.
    If anyone has any advice, if anyone has seen this type of thing before, etc etc, please share.
    Desperately seeking help,
    Music Anonymous

    You'll need to call Creative's support phone line so that they can give you an RMA number for your player. Then, just ship it to the address they tell you.

  • Antivirus to protect mac running osx and windows

    I am looking for a all around anti-virus to run on my mac that will protect both osx and windows 7 running through Parallels 8

    ClamWin and Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows
    ClamXav for OS X, will also scan the virtual machine OS's files too.
    ClamWin has found things MSE and ClamXav hasn't, good thing is Clam versions are run as you need it basically.
    With your virtual machine Windows, make snapshots and only update those, keep the files and exported bookmarks on a external USB, this way you can keep the machine in a more pristine state.
    Stuff can jump on Windows (and OS X too) merly connecting to the Internet when the vm starts up.
    So scan, restore to snapshot, update when it's available, scan again and revert again because there is so much stuff NOT being caught.

  • Zen MIcro:Auto power off and USB charg

    i wanna know whether the zen micro has an auto off feature. also, can it be charged via USB?Thanx

    When you say auto off, do you mean that it turns off when it's idle? If so, then yes, it does. Otherwise post up more detail and I'm sure someone can answer your question.
    The Zen Micro can charge over USB aswell, but remember this will take longer than with the power adapter.
