Does the Zen Micro Photo 8GB have Jack Stick proble

As my title says, does the Zen Micro Photo 8GB have Jack Stick problems?
Some claims that Creative fixed this issue, and some claims that it still exists, does some of you have experienced problems with the ZMP?

Since there is no definiti've answer from Creative regarding this issue, I plan in the interim to keep my headphones plugged in as much as possible. My long term solution is to purchase (for approx $5.00) a 3.5 mm male/female headphone jack and use it as the sacrificial phone jack. This way I can remove my phones as much as I like. I am not going to take the chance. I think the long term solution is the way to go even if they fixed this problem. Over time the phone jack is going to loose some connectivity due to repetiti've use. This in turn creates an annoying audible noise picked up by your headphones. Just a thought.

Creative Zen Micro Photo 8GB Driver Problem XP USB

Xp couldnt find driver to install for Creative Zen micro photo 8gb. I have P4 Xp sp2 USB .. It works fine with other.
But when i connect zen Micro Photo 8GB it says "Unknow device creative zen micro photo" the player doesnt come with any driver.
can you Please help me?
Is it something to do with firmware?

Hi ted, can you tell me What is MTP device n wht its connection with WM0?please.. It will be a great help! ?
MTP is a protocol. For our purposes it means that the driver should be included with WMP0. (...and that is the connection, you get the driver by installing WMP0.)

My Zen Micro Photo 8gb has gone m

Hi all,?My Creative Zen micro Photo 8gb has gone a bit mad. It had a firmware update, and then wouldn't work. SO I hooked it up to the PC and nothing was happeneing. It tried to rebuild the library, but froze. So I followed tech suppourt, and formatted it, and lost all my music, and it wont do anything now. It gets to the Recovery Mde Screen, and does the following:?Clean Up: - Says it's cleaning up, but does nothing really. Format All: - Says formatting, and does so. Reload Firmware: NOW, here's the interesting one, I hook it up to download the firmware... AND the PC recognises it's plugged in, but the firmware application doesn't. Reboot: - Reboots straight into Recovery mode again!?Very frustrating. Can anyone help?Cheers

Mine too! It completely froze to Recovery mode, I can't even turn it off! I had to take off the batteries and when I open it, it's stuck in there. I had it replaced by Creative Labs. Btw, I commend their tech support. The email support is fast and very responsi've. A RMA was issued to me and they were able to replace it in a matter of days. Then my 2nd player (refurbished one,what I got back) was working for 7 days when it froze again. then it says rebuilding library or something..but it won't finish loading. It was stuck to that page, cannot turn off, had to take off batteries again. I did this 5 times, since it failed to reload the library. Afterwards, it displayed Hardware Failure.
Now, I'm currently waiting for their email feedback since I reported the problem again.
My advice, let them know. Hope you can work yours out.

Zen micro photo wont connect

well my brother got a zen micro photo for his birthday yesterday, so in the evening we tried to start putting music on it and it wont even connect. i have windows with service pack 2, windows media player 0, and the micro explorer. now when i connect it to the computer it wont even start charging :/ and the explorer says its not connected, plz help

a way to make windows detect it is too try and run add hardware wizrd in controlpanel also if u make theplayer gointo recovermode then connect it to ur pc windows USUallydetects it as a plaer in recue mode i think well try if u dont know how toget there i think that u hold down the play/pause button er i mean first take out the batery and then hold down the play/pause botton while u plug the usb into ur pc and i think itll go into recovery mode and windwosshould detect it then and thats when you caninstall the firmware using the executable file and if something goes wrong try it again and usually itll work

Zen Micro Photo 8gb have headphone jack probl

I am going to purchase a zen micro photo, but only if the headphone jack problem is fixed from the previous zen micro's. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

I doubt that you'll get an *official* response to this as CL does not *officialy* have any problems with the headphone jacks on their units other than from *mishandling* or from a normal and small failure rate. As of now the official stance is that there's no problem to fix. Just keep checking back here. Looks like with the Micro the thread started jumping after about 3 months for the folks that purchased last January.
Mine's about a month old now with no problems.

If you have WMP 0. Otherwise, make sure that you have MediaSource (although I prefer Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer, both of these come on the CD that came with your device).

Zen Micro Photo bugs need to be worked out - firmware update comi

Hi,
I've had my Zen Micro Photo 8gb for a month & have discovered some interesting quirks: first, I don't believe mine is defecti've, though I've had problems. I have encountered freezing on both the "Zen Microphoto" logo and "rebuilding library" screen; I scoured this forum and the Knowledge Base for answers, trying all that seemed applicable?- I tried disk cleanup and reboot (leading to rebuilding library freezes), reformats & carefully reloading the latest firmware?a couple of times. I've drawn some conclusions:?) Mediasource software is not working for me; when I switched to using only Windows Media , most problems went away.2) For whatever reason, "rebuilding library" can only be accomplished while my Zen is connected to the computer - should this be the case?3) It seems like the times my screen freezes on the "Zen Microphoto" logo I may have held the "on" switch to the side a little longer than necessary; I'm wondering if this is happening because I'm holding the switch on a little too long?Anyway, I love the size, look and sound of this player, so I hope to keep using it. NOTE: can anyone from CREATIVE tell me if there will be future firmware updates? Thanks

I run windows XP pro . sp2, its quite strange.. it should work. ! **bleep** IT SHOULD WORK ! :smileyindifferent: , and the wirld thing is. i also try'ed it on another windows XP machine at work.. and it didient work there either. im beginning to question if this is the product for me. its realy sad though, i love the zen design.. not to mention the price.

Well i will keep on working on this issue.. ill let you know guys.

Zen Micro Photo Fre

I just purchased a Zen Micro Photo 8gb just over a month ago and the screen froze on me. I am not a computer saavy peson, so I have no idea what to do and customer service just gives you links to look it up yourself. Has anyone had this problem of the screen freeze and is there something that I need to do. Please help....

Try doing a disk clean up. Enter recovery mode by removing the battery and then holding the power switch in the on position while replacing the battery until the recovery screen appears. Then select disk clean up. After it is done with the disk clean up, select reboot. If that dosen't work you may have a defecti've player since it is still so new. If that is the case try returning it or if you can't return it, send it to Creative, and they will be able to replace it for you since it will still be under the warrenty.

Zen Micro Photo -- Outlook synchronization -- long text from ta

Do we have the title AND the description of the task on the Zen Micro Photo 8Gb?
OR do we have the task's title only? (like Ipod I think)

I've just noticed something curious.
Although you have Tasks shown in the display of the Micro, there's no option in ZMME to sync tasks! At least not in ZMME 4.00.27.

Creative Zen Micro Photo Problem (Detecti

BEFORE I CONTINUE, REFERRING TO THE KNOWLEDGE BASE DOES NOT WORK FOR ME, I TRIED THE STEPS BUT THEY SIMPLY DON'T WORK.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED MY ZEN MICRO PHOTO BLACK 8GB in the mail, and was able to get the charging started through my computer after installing the required software (mediasource, media player, wmp 9.5 codec, etc). Before I started the charging, I connected my player's USB cable to the back of my pc. Windows XP w/SP2 prompts that it 'found new hardware.' I go ahead and check in my computer if the player would be able to be accessed. I also confirmed with Creative's mediasource software, and it claims that 'no player was detected.' I did the same in windows media player 0, and says that no hardware was detected. I confirmed to make sure that the USB cable was properly connected, and it was. I tried all the ports and tried other devices through them, and they were able to be successfully detected and used, (i.e; web cam). I don't understand why my creative zen micro photo would not be detected by the software included. Windows is requiring me to install some sought of driver for the player, but I already installed all the required utilities and codecs. I believe it is charging and is detected by windows but not as a removable storage, etc, just 'FOUND NEW HARDWARE', and then no drivers found even through the CD creative provided me. I am also fearing that the battery is taking a long time to charge. This morning I saw that the player was on, but was still charging(I assume). I decided to charge while the player was turned off. Hopefully, now it will be fully charged while the player remains off. I will check when I get home. In the mean time, would some one please assist and respond to me for resolving this situation ASAP for the detection of the player. Thank you very much, Arjun (please do not further me to the knowledge base site as I have already tried all the steps, and no improvement what so what in successfully operating this player. Thank you. Just to add on, I also attempted for a firmware update, and the utility said it was not able to detect the player either, so I wasn't able to even complete a firmware update. Please assist me, URGENT. Thank you.

I sadly am very unhappy with the ZEN Microphoto 8. I was planning on leaving on a trip in the morning and found that suddenly my laptop no longer will recognize my device. I hasve been using the device for several months now with no problems at all, unitl this afternoon. It went into recovery mode and no matter what I tried I could not get it out.
I was finally able to unlock the unit by connecting the unit to my desktop. I was then able to install the firmware update. But now the unit will not work on my laptop at all. All of my media is on my laptop. I have tried several cables to no avail. I am sure that someone is going to mention the suggestion that the device not be used on a laptop, however I find it frustrating that after so much time the unit suddenly does not operate. I tried all of the suggestions in the support section. And it seems truly sad that this might just be due to the cinnection to athe laptop, considering the number of people that now use these as their primary PCs.
If any suggestions can be provided as to the cause of this problem I would love to get it fixed.

Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

<EM>If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!</EM>I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
My Specifications:
My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

[Zen Micro Photo] Stuck in b

My Zen Micro Photo gets stuck in the bootscreen. When I turn my Zen on it says "Creative" and after a couple of seconds "Zen Micro Photo". While "Zen Micro Photo" is in my screen it does nothing. I tried to take out the battery and turn it on again, but still nothing. Only after a couple of hours it starts working again.
It als doesn't connect properly with Windows XP.
The problem started a couple of days ago when I activated the removable harddri've mode on the Zen to connect it to Windows 2000.
Should a reload of the firmware help?

See the section "My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" in the FAQ.
