I used the phone for about a month with no problems at all, even had my apple ID in the icloud and everything... well ios 7.0.6 came out and I used my computer to restore the phone, because I feel that the cord and computer gives it a better restore, it did great no problems, and when it went to the part where I went to activate the phone, I get a enter your apple id and password to complete activation...

I only have @gmail.com emails and none start with a C... The guy sold me the phone because he was switching to Verizon, and I tried to call him, and now the number is disconnected... I guess he switched to Verizon with a new number... Now im stuck with a paperweight that costed me $200.00... What can I do at this point... Please help me... I restored it to give it to my Step Son as I just got me the iphone 5... Thank you for ANY HELP in advance... Thank you again.

    I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR.  I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the  WB as  it is importing photos.  I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB.  Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB.  Your advise is very much needed and appreciated.  Thank you.

    Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
    Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

  • No Zen Micro Problems, Post H

    Well this is my first post on the forums and I am this close to buying a zen micro. I would have bought one yesterday until I stumbled upon the head-phone jack problem. I want to hear from people who have a zen micro problem free and how long you have had it. I've owned 3 previous creative players that have all worked great, so I'm hoping that there are only a small amount of people with this problem making all the noise (e.g. the sony psp dead pixel issue). So if you're happy with your zen micro let me know!!

    Kpm,
    It's ok, most people miss that option at first so it's no biggie. Personally I own a Zen Micro and take is almost everywhere with me. I have had no major problems and the minor ones were self created. I would highly recommend it. Now I do have a bias (as I am a Creative Employee) but I personally love this player.

  • Zen Micro Problem! It's Urgent!!!! Please Help me!!

    OK, so recently i just got a brand new Zen Micro and i had a Zen Micro before the one i currently own, but i traded it for my current one because i couldnt get sound out of the earjacks sometimes. My old Zen used to instantly get on either of my computers, one which iz a windows 2000 and another which iz a windows xp.
    Anyway, now that i have my new one, ever since i've gotten it, every time i plug it into the USB outlet, it says its not connected. I went to recovery mode and did every single option there, because not only did my family say that's what i should do, but a good friend i have that works at Best Buy told me to do that also. So i did that and all that did was delete the 3 songs that came with the mp3 player and get rid of my firmware, which i cant download because my computer doesnt recognize my zen!!!! PLEASE HELPPPPPPP!!!
    I know there have been many other posts like this but im 5 and not too educated with computers. I just want to know exactly how do i fix this problem, or if i can or if i should just give up now and trade it in for another zen micro. I'd like to stay with the one i have now, but this is seriously getting annoying!

    Ok, it doesnt appear on my device manager. I've tried both my Windows XP and Windows 2000, neither seem to notice it. It glows with a blue aura as if like its charging, and on the Windows XP, it does show that its docked but i still can not get it to upload music or even be noticed on the device manager. I do hear the ding-dong though, and i can upload songs through musicmatch, but i'd much rather use my zen explorer.
    On 2000, i have no reaction other than the charging of the battery. No Docking, No ding-dong sound, Nothing! What should i do now? I even returned it and got another Micro in hopes that this annoyance would end but it continues to proceed! Any help is welcomed and i need help ASAP because i have an upcoming vacation and i'd like to have at least some entertainment other than the TV in my hotel room!

  • ZEN MICRO problems..reverting to old firmware possib

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to the new firmware .0.03 (since I don't have Windows XP to install the 2.00 version)...and i'm noticing a lot of freezing problems....
    Is there a way to go back to the original firmware that was initially installed? ThanksMessage Edited by Tiger23 on 0-09-2005 0:0 AM

    sigh.. I've tried that and it doesn't work....still freezes at the creative screen.... I suspect it may be a hardware problem since when it freezes at start up, there is no hard dri've sound. Before, when it was working well, you would hear little hard dri've sounds at start up....but whenever it freezes at start up, there is no hard dri've sound so it's kind of like the hard dri've is loose? So i tried tapping the zen micro, and after many many tries...it started up again, but then after a few songs, it froze......
    I tried recover disk clean up, but when I select that...it freezes as well....it freezes at the "scanning disk..." screen of disk clean up..... I know something is wrong since I've tried disk cleanup when the player worked and it would be fast and would say "scanning disk.....25%....etc.....now i don't even see the progress percentage........
    I'm calling support on monday..........anyone know how to fix my problem? Will RMA cost me a lot of money? I went broke after buy the zen micro....sigh..............

  • Creative Zen Micro problem! PLEASE HELP

    can anyone help me please?
    I am on my 3rd replacement for my Zen Micro. I have had problems with switching my Zen on and for it to even attempt to function properly. I turn on my Zen and once the screen turns back to the song that i was playing when i previously turned it off, it plays about 2 seconds of the song and then releases an unpleasant high pitched drone in my ears. This happens 9 times out of 0 whenever i switch on my Zen.
    I am doing nothing different whatsoever, other than listening to it throughout the day. It still has 4GB left! I really am very upset about it all.
    This is now getting ridiculous. I have rebooted it, uploaded firmware, formatted my Zen and wiped it then put all of the music back on, "cleaned it up" and still i have problems. I am VERY angry, frustrated and completely disappointed in this product. I have never found so many problems with a product!
    Please let me know what can be done.
    I have emailed Creative Support 4 times in the past week and i have had nothing in return. I need a new player as i use it every day. I cant get a refund (i dont think) because it was a gift and my dad bought it online. I just want a working Creative mp3 player.
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you've tried everything as far as troubleshooting goes (updating firmware, the options in Recovery Mode). Unfortunately it does look like there is a problem with your player then.
    You didn't mention when you originally got the player (the first one, or your last replacement), but in any case it would be best to speak to Customer Support and outline the problems you've been having, and let them know you're not happy, to see what they can do for you.
    Regarding e-mail, did you get an auto response back? If not, check your spam filter (if you have one), as you will always get an auto response back when you e-mail us or use the webform. If you did get the auto response, check over it, as usually you are meant to reply to it if the included basic tips don't help, so that someone will deal with your mail directly.

  • Zen micro problem please help..it seems to have wiped the libra

    I would really appreciate any help anyone could offer with this problem as I have no idea what to do and fear I may have lost all the music I've collected over the past few years as none of it is backed up on my computer...My zen was working fine yesterday but then all of a sudden it froze, I couldn't get anything on it to work so I removed the battery as I have done before, it went on to 'rebuilding library'?but after a few seconds said 'Select music to play from the library' and there was NOTHING on there. No songs, no artists, nothing. It still says the space is being used up and there is only a few MB left but it's saying there's no songs on it. I tried accessing them through the computer but that wouldn't work either. PLEASE does anyone have any suggestions?

    Maybe you could try running Disk Clean Up from the Recovery Mode
    Remove Zen Micro's back plate and battery
    Hold the On switch to On (fully to the left) and hold it there as you replace the battery
    Select Disk Clean Up and Yes from the menu, it's at the top of the list
    It will take a moment or 2 to complete Disk Clean Up, allow it to finish
    Once Disk Clean Up is complete, select Reboot at the bottom of the list
    You should see a Re-building Library notice once it reboots and hopefully your music will be accessible again
    Clean Up will re-set your Zen Micro to its factory default settings, so you will have to redo any special settings that you had
    Best of luck!
    /with today's huge hard dri'ves, why don't people back their music up :|
    I've got mine backed up on 2 different computers plus 2 external HDDs.

  • Zen Micro problem... What the he

    You'll probably read this and think I'm retarded but...
    How do you play music on Zen Micro?
    Seriously... I just bought it, took it out of the box, and checked it out. According to the manual, there are some sample songs on there. The manual also implies that the first time you turn it on, you'll be at the Now Playing screen which has track information. On mine, that screen just says "Select music to PLAY from the Music Library". Next, I followed the instructions to transfer some music from my computer to Zen. That all seemed to go well, and from Windows Explorer I can see those songs on the Zen. Then I disconnected from the computer to try it out.
    Starting on p. 30 of the manual is the instructions on how to play a track. It says to hit the menu button to get the main menu (that works). Next, it says to select the Music Library. I was confused about that for a while since there is no such option on my main menu (which, coincidentally, renders the entire rest of the instruction manual useless because it explains all the fabulous things you can do from the Music Library).
    I spent a while looking online for help and got nowhere, other than I saw an ad with a picture of the Main Menu, and in the picture Music Library was an option on it.
    So help me out here... is there something wrong with the player? Am I dumb? Some combination of the two? Please let me know any suggestions as to what I've missed.
    ps: I can get the FM radio to work.

    I saw one other post on here that described this problem. I think if you go into the Extras then select the Customize Menus option you can check the box next to Music Library
    If this doesn't place the Music Library on the main menu then try a disk cleanup in rescue mode.
    To access the resue mode take the battery out. Make sure the player is off and hold the power button over and re-insert the battery. You should boot into rescue mode. From there select Disk Cleanup. It shold only take a few seconds and a % complete should display. When it's done select reboot and the Music Library will most likly be in the main menu.

  • Zen Micro Problem (Please He

    Hello,
    I have a Zen Micro that I got less than a year ago. Sometimes when I have my Micro connected to tmy computer and I go to "Organize" files, all of the file names will be wrong. They can't be changed either. The titles will be by all different artists even though I am in the folder for one artist. When I play the songs on my micro, all of the right file names are there, though.
    Also, just recently, I went into my playlists. Almost every song in all of my playlists is called "Cynical" which is the name of a song that I have on my Micro. But, it should only be on one playlist. Instead, almost every song has that name. So, when I try to play my playlists, I just hear one song again and again and again. I tried doing "Clean Up," but it did absolutely nothing.
    Does anyone know what the problem is? How to fix it's Thank you.

    Should I just get a new one?

  • Zen Micro Problem- Email support not helpin

    I tried email support, I waited over 24 hours just to have someone tell me to upgrade the firmware. I know this is not the problem and I have the upgraded firmware. I thought I would bring my problem here for assistance since I am getting canned responses from the email support team. Heres the problem:?Sunday Night- I put my Zen Micro on the USB charger, I have a trip on Monday and wanted to be sure I have a full charge. Monday morning- I notice that the Zen Micro is on, and has a blank screen. I can see a little line at the bottom, I can scroll through the keys but nothing on the screen. I take the battery out and put the unit away, at this point I have to leave and I opt not to take the unit with me.
    Friday- I come back from my trip and decide to further research my problem. I find that I cannot reset the unit, I cannot access the restore screen. I hold the power in the ON position and insert the battery. I wait about 5 seconds, nothing is happening so I let off the power. At this point I get a blank screen. I plugged the unit into the USB charger (unit is off) and I get a blank screen. The blue LED light around the unit dims and brightens which to me indicates it is charging. Windows XP gives me the found new hardware wizard but Media player 0 attempts to locate the device and comes back to tell me to connect the device. I just bought this unit in December and was not expecting it to fail me this soon.
    Saturday- I email support. The support team emails me back after 24 hours and gives me the firmware upgrade canned response. I have replied to that email but I would like to get this resolved pretty quick since I am now week into this ordeal.
    I do alot of flying, the MP3 player makes the long flights a little more tolerable. This is my first time to purchase a creative unit. I weeded through some threads here and found other folks with the same problem. I assume that Creative Labs is aware of this problem and working to implement a fix soon that will resolve any future problems. I have my email headers, and contact information available upon request. I look forward to a speedy and sensible solution to this problem. Sincerely,Tim

    What I am learning is that customer service is not really service. I was telling everybody about my great Zen Micro but, if I don't get a timely response, will start spreading the word. It's?frustrating to spend money on a product that doesn't even last eight months and that they don't support. I want to buy reliable electronics from companies that stand behind them. I wonder what it takes to get their attention.

  • Zen Micro Problem (music libra

    im new to these boards, but i have to say there great lots of info!!! So on to my problem my 4GB Zen Micro works perfect except for one thing, if you start it on cold boot up like if you havent used it in a few hours the Creative Labs screen after the water droplet or whatever you call it. anyways the top left part of the Creative labs logo would be missing like a chunk taken out of it. When this happens it paused for like 3 seconds then boots up fine. So i thought updating my firmware to the newest one (i previously had ..0) So i backed up all my files before i updated into a folder on my computer. After i downloaded the firmware i downloaded all my songs back onto it. This is where the problem starts, after i download songs i always go to Creative Mediasource organizer and organize them so they wont be in all sorts of catagories on the player, like when i first download them. When i transfered the songs back onto the mp3 they where scrambled in catagories. Somehow I was trying to fix it but i accedently deleted all the songs from my player and backup files. So now ill have to download all my songs again and organize them into there catagories which would take hours. Is there anyways you can organize songs quicker? Just beacause when i download songs of limewire sometimes the artist's names arent spelled correctly or wrong genre or incorrect title......stuff like that. so when i download them from my computer to the zen its all scrambled on the player unorganized, which bothers me. Anyway quicker to organize? Sorry for such a long post
    Please help me!!!
    thanks!!!!

    This is normal. I get the same problem with ..0, and just put it down to rather inelegant programming.

    If you've updated to the v2.xx PlayForSure/MTP firmware, when you copy tracks to the player the PC will view the player as having folders. On the player itself though it will still use tag data.
    It's always important to have clean tag data as the player works using this, so find a tagging program that suits you, and put some work into organising them.

  • Zen Micro: Poor Battery Performance Even with Firmware Upgr

    The Zen Micro's battery life is advertised to last up to 2 hours, but I am only getting approximately 7.5 hours. I have installed the latest firmware v.0.03 upgrade, and fully charged and discharged both batteries at least fi've times each (using the USB and AC adaptors before plutting into outlet). Before the firmware upgrade I was getting just under six hours of battery life. For testing purposes I am using 28kbps MP3 files, volume level 8, no EQ setting, no backlighting, and the headphones that came with the product. Since I have the player sitting on my desk, without being listened to, there's no skipping or forwarding of music tracks. Gi'ven the non-demanding settings, the battery performance is disappointing.
    I have contacted tech support and they want me to send in my player for repair or replacement. It seems this issue is prevalent for all Zen Micros and I don't want to send mine in to have it returned all scuffed and scratched and not fixed (or get some grimy second-hand, refurbished model instead).
    So I want to confirm that others are experiencing this same problem before I decide what to do. It seems it would be best to get another one from Amazon instead of going through the hassle of repair.

    I notified Amazon of the problem on Friday and got a brand new replacement on Monday. Talk about great service.
    Unfortunately the replacement is a crapper also. My second Zen Micro immediately and completely locks up when plugging in the USB cable. Since I didn't return my original unit yet, I was able to try another cable but got the same results. I fully charged the batteries, tried all of the various recovery mode options, and still had the Creative drivers/software previously installed on my computer from before. I'm running WinXP SP2 with up-to-date patches, and no other software installed since. My PC's motherboard has built-in USB 2.0 support (with power mgmt turned off) and updated drivers and BIOS, but these things shouldn't be an issue anyway since it worked fine with the first Zen Micro. I'm not able to upgrade the firmware, let alone transfer music, because of the lockup problem. I build and fix PCs for friends and coworkers all the time so I'm confident in my trouble-shooting abilities.
    The second Micro makes the first one seem perfect. I really wanted to like this MP3 player, but two defecti've products in a row is totally unacceptable to me. What a waste of my time. I should have been more suspicious about Creative products since my Muvo TX FM player was buggy as well (i.e. player would immediately shut down when powering on). I will check out the Rio Carbon or iRi'ver products instead.

  • Zen Micro Problems! Please he

    <FONT face=Verdana color=#ff00cc size=4>My Zen Micro keeps freezing on the Creative screen every time i turn it on. I've tried the recovery mode and did the clean up and rebooted it but it still freezes there. This is my 2nd Zen Micro because my first one did something similar but it was making a weird beeping noise too. I got my other one replaced and im hoping that im not having the same problem as before. Please help!

    I replied to your other thread.

  • Zen Micro Problems...Help ple

    I've had zen micro for a couple of months now, and on friday, I don't quite know what happened, but it sort of froze while I was using it. After it turing itself off, I turned it back on. The sceen came on normally, but at the next screen that should have been the one that says which song's you're listening to and stuff, it simply said "creative and froze. I tried letting the battery run out by itself, and recharging and turning it on, but nothing worked. I tried plugging it into my computer, but despite the fact hat I had just plugged it in the same way I always had, apparently the computer couldn't find a ny attached devices. I tried rebooting and whatnot already, and even tried wiping the disk empty, but it just keeps on freezing and not working. I tried phoninh in, but apparently my 60 day phone service or something has run out, so I came here. Does anyone know what I should do? :smileyindifferent:

    I had nearly the same thing happened to my Zen Micro. It froze on me on the 3rd day after purchased while listening to a song. I would have to wait until it turned off and when switch on again it was stuck on the "Creative" screen. This screen would last for about minute then change to the "Recovery Mode" with four options. I tried all four options but none would work. I finally packed it up and exchanged it for a new one at best buy, this time I bought a 2-year performance plan for 20 bucks.
    My pet theory... I used the "plays for sure" option which I believe may be problematic since it's new. Also, I may have made a mistake by trying to use the Zen Media Explorer and WMP0 for syncing. After downloading songs using ZME, I synced using WMP and realized it was trying to re-copy my entire library. I halted this operation and the next day my Zen froze.
    My new Zen is now installed using the other firmware (not "plays for sure") ..0. So far, after a week, there has been no problems.
    If yours doesn't go into recovery mode after a minute or so, you can force it by taking out the battery, slide and hold the on-switch on while replacing the battery. The Recovery Mode should start up. Good luck and hope you are able to fix yours.
