Zen Micro needs firmware update for Vista, but what now as it fail

As I now use Vista (paid for by my work) I came to install my Zen Micro which wasn't recognised so I came to the website and discovered that you need version 2 of the firmware for it to be compatible with Vista. Having never had the need to upgrade before I was still on Version one so I downloaded it onto my other WinXP machine?which I've used my Zen on alot before to do the upgrade. Started the upgrade and all seemed to be well until a point a 3rd of the way through a box came up asking what I'd like to do with the device (like the one when a USB key inserted). Leaving the upgrade I returned hour later to see nothing has changed and the upgrade has failed.
I've tried all the options with recovery mode but it still just shows up as having version 0.0.65 and when inserted into a PC shows up as a?Creative Zen Micro?in device manage and has a 20MB disk partition for storage but when I try and run a firmware patch it says its not connected.
Looking round this forum this seems to be quite common upto now but with the release of Vista people are forced to take the 'risk' of running a firmware update that when it fails doesn't seem to be recoverable even in recovery mode. Please can you look into updating the firmware to find these devices that it can't see, for many years I've laughed at my friends with their crashing ipods that need charging everyday due to not being able to change the battery but it now seems the jokes on me.

I used Adambonello's fix and it worked?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...mp=true#M80097

Zen Micro Photo Firmware 'Update Fail

Ive tried several things, several computers. The Zen will only boot to the firmware screen if not docked. If Docked the Zen can update but at the end, it will always say, 'Update Failed!'?I was wondering if this is the Motherboard, or the Hard-dri've. I dont hear any clicks or sounds from the hard dri've.

This all started a few days ago, the Zen was playing a nice track and then it turned off, I turned it back on thinking wtf. It came on, played for about sec then said, 'Overheating Shutting Down'?so I tried a few more times and it said the same thing, it was rather Cold outside, wierd. I went home, let it stay infront of a fan for a few hours and thats when it wouldnt even boot after that. Then I couldnt recharge the battery for some odd reason, and the update didnt want to install, So i had my old BROKEN ZEN MICRO which has the same EXACT PROBLEM, anyways, I took that battery and used it cause it charged unlike the ZEN MICRO PHOTO Battery. After that, then I installed the update, but then it gave me that problem of Update failed, so here i am now...

Need firmware updates for HDDVD drive of Satellite P200

I bought my P200-17C, 3 months ago. I have attempted to update my Firmware to the apparent latest (TO35).
However I can't because I do not have either TO33/TO34 installed. Having checked my FW version is TO04!!!! ????
How do I get the previous versions so I can update to the current version. I find it very odd that current versions do not have previous versions already with it.
WHERE CAN I FIND THE PREVIOUS FIRMWARE FOR THE SATELITE P200?

First of all you have to check if you Satellite P200 was equipped and delivered with the TS-L802A drive because the firmware TO35 was designed only for this drive.
You should know that the P200 series was delivered with different drives and not all supports the TS-L802A ;)
Please check this firstly!

Firmware update for HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless to fix load paper issue - as for the 8500?

Is there any hope that that soon will be a firmware update to fix the issues loading paper and the printheads for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer?
A month or two ago there came a firmware update to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless, which has some of the same issues,
and allegedly should have the much of the same load-mechanism as the 8000 printer.
It would be great, as we are on the fourth (4) replacement of this HP 8000 printer. For example, it would be great if we could use normal (80g) paper and not has to use (HP) 90g paper, as this prevents us from using the duplexer and only print on one side.

Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

Firmware Update for WAG200G to fix Security Hole

Hello,
I use a Linksys WAG200G with firmware version 1.01.09, and recently became aware that this particular model has a publicly known exploitable backdoor (See: http://www.businessinsider.com/cisco-warns-about-security-hole-2014-1 for more info).
Has this security hole been fixed? If yes, where can I download an update for it?
Thanks for your time,
Sam

Any firmware updates for wrt160Nv2?

i was wondering if there have been any firmware updates for this router. right now my status is Firmware Version: v2.0.02.

Then Firmware on your Router is already the latest one i dont think you Router needs an Firmware upgrade.

Seems I need firmware update but it doesn't start

MacBook Pro 17"
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz
Version Boot ROM: MBP52.008E.B05
Version SMC: 1.42f4
Apple SSD TS128A 128Gb, Revision: AGAB0202
I always experienced short gaps in responsiveness of my laptop, problably due to SSDrive, but that never annoyed me.
Than this gaps became more and more long, especially after laptop wakes up and now are annoying.
So I searched for a firmware update and, according to the scheme reported at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237? ,
I found my laptot can accept EFI 1.8 Firmware update. But downloaded and launched it my MacBook reports that it doesn't need that upgrade and so all other intermediate Firmware updates for MacBook Pro (EFI 1.6 and 1.7). I connected my Mac to mains, closed all application and downloaded all with Safari 5.0.5. So what was wrong?
Incidentally in that scheme my MacBook is indicated as "early 2009", elsewhere as "mid 2009".
Apart from firmware upgrades, what can I do to solve that gaps? Thank you,
Antonello

See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.

Will the Creative Zen Xtra have a firmware update for "driverless" operati

Is it even possible? I contacted Creative Labs and they said they would put the suggestion on the possibility for a future implemented feature. I just bought the 30GB model for $79 off of Outpost.com [the cheapest I've seen online] without any rebates. It is awesome--sound quality, menu, and design. It is a bit large, but I don't care. This is my first mp3 player that actually has a hard dri've. I've wanted to get this one since last January, but kept putting it off.
Anyway, is it possible for a firmware update for a driverless operation so you can add songs on any Windows XP/2000 PC without having to install the Nomad Explorer program? Thanks!

Driverless support is supposedly coming for Windows Media Player 0.
The reasons behind all this are discussed in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...Jukebox+Zen#34

I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Help?

First you need to install Mac OS 10.6. To do this you have to buy the OS disk. (This is a whole different OS, not an update of 10.5.) Order it here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You may be able to install an even newer OS, but you have to get 10.6 first.
Please look at Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info... and check under Hardware Overview for the Model Identifier of your Macbook. That will tell us whaat is the highest OS you can install.

Before updating, import all you photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google, with a supported application such as Outlook or Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then open iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update.

It's not just iTunes you need to update...
You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
See iPod touch system requirements here.
Leopard is available from Amazon here.
