Zen micro photo 8gig... where did my files go??

I use the media organiser to transfer my music over to my player and the albums show up?on my player when its connected to my pc, But when i unplug it and search my player for the albums they are not there... then i reconnect tp my pc and they are there.. what the hell is going on?this dosent happen all the time but when it does its annoying.Can you help please

again, the cc app doesn't move/remove/delete/uninstall any files on your desktop, or elsewhere.
in addition, your desktop folder may have been a shortcut to a folder, or the files in your desktop folder may have been shortcuts to your files. so, search your computer (using your file search) for your missing files. also, check your trash for your missing files.

Zen Micro Photo wont und

Hi guys hope you can help?I am having problems with my Zen Micro Photo. Where as before when leaving explorer my player would undock, now it just stays docked and I am afraid to remove it from the USB. Have spent a lot of time looking on the threads and doing searches as best as I can but if someone could point me in the right direction I would be eternaly gratefull. Many thanks?ane Flowers

Thank you so much Future Pilot. I think from looking at the boards it's to do with Windows Player. Have a nice day now?Jane Flowers

Zen Micro Photo can't remember where it was on playlist or vol

I just realized that my Zen Micro Photo does not remember where it was playing in a playlist before the unit was turned off and the volume resets to 7. This happens even with a fully charged unit and it happens in less than 24 hours. Within a couple minutes, it can remember where it was playing before and keeps the volume where it was, but I know that within 2 hours it did not remember.
Is this unit defecti've or am I missing something?
Thanks!

I mean your at a clean slate for one so nothing should go wrong with the battery part of your player- two im not sure if the battery can actually "die" i've heard that once it dies its dead for good-But that may be a rumor.
Ordinarily the person should be under warranty, so shouldn't have to buy a battery to resolve the issue.

Zen Micro Photo Battery? Where to

Hey guys. I'm a bit confused now because I can't find an original Zen Micro Photo battery in germany. It seems like it isn*t released till now. Now I would like to if and if yes when it will be released in germany. It can*t just be true that creative wants us to use the old zen micro battery which is weaker.

Why wouldn't they take responsibility? Read through the forums, you're not the first one with battery problems. I'd say try a new battery if you can, otherwise send Creative Support an email about the problem. You'll probably have to send in your player and will get a replacement.

Using Zen Micro(Photo) with plain Explo

Is there a possibility to copy MP3 files simply by drag-and-drop with the Windows Explorer to the Zen Micro(Photo) so that the files are treated as MP3 and NOT as simple data files? Technically it is quiet simple to do this by using the hard disk of the Zen as an extra hard disk in Windows. Even the cheapest USB-stick based MP3-player can do this. Why not a Zen (or the iPod competition)?
I refuse to use any specific software to copy my self ripped MP3-files because I know that that software (Creative, iTunes, even Windows Media Player and other) changes things during the file transfer and I don't want any change in the MP3 files, not even a single bit!
I want to buy a Zen Micro Photo (8 GB, color screen), but I refuse to do it as long as it is impossible to crag-and-drop my MP3 files simply thru the Windows Explorer.

Yeah that's what i always did. I just drag and drop MP3 files directly into my player without using any software whatsoever.

Zen Micro Photo Li

Can somone give me a link to where i can buy a Zen Micro Photo Pink? I li've in the USA, Thanks alot, Sorry i did not find this on search.

Hard to say; I see it's "out of stock" there. The Creative site says the MicroPhoto will be available in 0 colors, much like the original Micro; however, most stores didn't carry all 0 colors of the original. (For example, Best Buy only had black in the stores; the other 9 colors were only available online.)

Zen Micro Photo: PC doesn't detect dev

I just bought two Zen Micro Photos. On my PC, I downloaded the latest driver without installing any of the software that comes with the device. I plugged it into my PC, and it detected it immediately. No problems.
On my wife's PC, I downloaded the latest driver and installed all of the software. The PC will recognize that a USB 2.0 device has been plugged in, but it will not recognize it as an MP3 player. I have searched these forums and tried various suggestions (like pointing the New Hardware wizard to C:\Program Files\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers), but everything turns out the same: the PC cannot install the hardware.
I plugged her Micro into my PC and it works as expected.
When plugged in, her Micro does *not* show the docked screen.
Both PCs are Windows XP SP2.
Can anyone help?

Nevermind, I found where to figure that out. Looks like her PC doesn' t have SP2.
I'm downloading it now, and I'll be back if I run into any more issues.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Creative Zen Micro Photo not work with

Hi,i formatted my hd 2 days ago.
I loose my cd with creative zen micro photo expoler.
When i connect my mp3 with usb cable appears an autoplay window of windows Xp that show me what i cand do with my mp3(Transfer Files with Windows media is the only option).
How I can do to use my mp3 with Creative Organizer?
Where i can find creative zen micro photo explorer?

Top of page on Creative banner, click Support-> Downloads-> MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen MicroPhoto, chose your language and Operating System and select the software that you need.
Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the Show Details... pop-u
ps.
Looks like Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer isn't posted any more, so Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) would probably be your best bet.
I have had no luck getting MediaSource 5.x to work with my computers and I've tried very hard.

Zen Micro Photo battery l

Creative states that the battery life on the Zen Micro Photo should be about 5 hours per charge. I have a new player and am finding the battery life per charge to be no where near that. Is this because I constantly move the volume up and down and shut down and power up about twice a day? Once that battery icon is down to about a third full I recharge. I would say my battery would go about 8-0 hours on a charge if I let it lay out until it dies. I have no EQ and smart volume settings on, the screen is set to 5 sec backlight.
THe first time I charged the player i didnt realize that the USB cable was only half way in , I was afraid to force it and did not realize I had to push hard to the the USB cable all the way in. The next morning the batteyr was only half charged because the cable was only in half way. when i finally realized that it was not in all the way i pused harder and it connected all the way in then charged compeltey in a couple of hours. would this effect the life of my battery per charge?
thank you

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.

SOLUTION - Zen Micro Photo Stuck in Recovery M

My Zen Micro Photo got stuck in recovery mode after I followed Creative Labs Technical Support suggestions. They had me do a Clean Up, a Format All a Reload Firmware and a Reboot. After doing this my unit was stuck in Recovery Mode. They then had me load the latest firmware. v .3.0, from a PC connection and I found that it worked fine, but doing the above steps put me back into Recovery Mode hell. So I did some testing.
I loaded firmware version .20.0 from my PC thinking the problem might be in the firmware version. Doing the steps they had asked me to do caused me to be in Recovery Mode Hell, so again I loaded firmware from my PC.
This time I went through each item one at a time and rebooted after each. Clean Up/Reboot, Format ALL/Reboot and Reload Firmware/Reboot. They all booted normally except when I did a Reload Firmware.
Next I loaded firmware v .3.0 to my unit again and did the same test. Again it put me in Recovery Mode Hell after I selected Reload Firmware from the Recovery Mode screen.
Conclusion DO NOT LOAD FIRMWARE FROM RECOVERY MODE. If you have to load firmware at all, do it from your PC connection. I'm going to copy this into the VERY LONG message I have had with Creative Labs Technical Support over the past 5 days and let them know what I have found. I hope this helps others to fix their Micro Photo.

I am having a similar problem. I am stuck in recovery mode and my PC won't recognize the MP3 player at all? I have rebooted, cleaned up, formatted, pulled the batt, etc. Finally I pulled the battery for longer than 30 seconds and that seemed to fix the problem. We will see.

It really sucks about your player

what do you think would happen if you dropped a desktop computer from 3 feet off the ground onto concrete?

Zen Micro Photo Conce

I am about to purchase a Zen Micro Photo. I am choosing it over the Zen Micro because of the many posts about the headphone problem on the Zen, the clearer screen on the Micro Photo, and the lack of availability of the Zen Micro in the stores - very few stores are selling the Micro and many have only the Micro Photo (which leads me to believe that the Micro is being phased out - at least in the marketplace). I have some concerns about the Micro Photo - there seems to be some posters on this group who have a buzz from the screen. Since many reviews of the Micro Photo say how great the sound is, I am going to assume, perhaps foolishly, that the buzz has been taken care of in the recent releases or this is not as common a problem as some would like to state. My other concern is and question is how fragile are these? There are warnings about NOT jogging with the Micros. I have not seen this with other companies'hd players. I plan to use this in a car. Is this going to be a problem? Sometimes roads are bumpy.
One of the main reasons that I have chosen the Zen is the bookmarking features. I use the mp3 player for audiobooks and I want to be able to set a bookmark in mid track of a book, listen to something else, and then come back to that same place in the book and continue on - which from the Micro/Microphoto manuals I should be able to do. Is this correct?
Surprisingly, few mp3 players can do this - the Ipod can't despite it's claim that it can.
I appreciate any feedback.

Information on LiON battery lifespans.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.
Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory". Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off point in the equipment will do this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate. (Read more in 'Choosing the right battery for portable computing', Part Two.)
Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored. A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts between 2-3 years. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the pack can no longer deli'ver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge
