Zen Micro sync proble

Hi,I?formated my pc and installed all creative software as usuall but i cant sync my music from my mp3 player to my pc.. I tryed by dragging the files through "Organize music in device" button, but when i dragged the .mp3's the pc was "busy" but nothing came out.. Then i tryed the "Sync music between pc and device" button, this way was good but in the end i saw that i was transfering file with errors?with no weight.. Well thats my problem, now i got no music files on my pc.. but i still can hear them by connecting my player.So if someone got any suggestion, feel free to post.. Thank's

Again, you have to be a little more specific.
You tried doing what? When and how did it fail?
You said earlier that you could change some songs, now you can't do even that?
Have you changed sth with your player (firmware is what comes to mind).
Did you tried uninstalling all Creative programs, rebooting downloading the LATEST versions of the programs and then installing those instead?
BTW, it DOES matter which firmware version your player has:
If it is .xx.xx (eg ..0) then you should download and install THE LATEST versions of:
Zen and Jukebox Driver (v.30.03)
Zen Micro Media Explorer (v4.00.27)
MediaSource Player-Organizer (v3.30.2)
AND
Jukebox plugin (v2.00.20) for MediaSource
If it is 2.xx.xx (eg 2.2.02) then you should install Windows Media Player 0 along with ALL the latest hotixes from microsoft.
If when by fail you mean that it worked ok for your friend but when you got back it didn't for you then it DEFINITELY means that there's a problem with your PC, not the player...
If this don't help ask again anything.

Zen micro sync with outlo

how do I sync with outlook? The softwear that the zen micro comes with isn't responding when I plug my mirco in, it says inte not connected even though it is (and I know it is becuase it syncs with napster...)

First you need to get your computer to be able to recognize your player. You can find hundreds of posts here by doing a search. Then you have to use the Zen Micro Media Explorer and select the Sync Music and Outlook button.

Zen Micro Sync quest

Hi there,
I got a Zen Micro today and I'm trying to get round learning how to use it since it differs quite a lot from the Muvo2 I used to have.
Something strange happens when I try to sync the player with Windows Media Player 0. Most of the files get transfered without any problem, but I always get an error message for some of them, telling me that they are corrupted when I know for a fact that they're not.
Has this happened to anybody else? Did you manage to solve the problem? I'd sure appreciate any help I can get.
Hope you all had a good Christmas Day!
Charlie

Oh, thanks for that. I just wanted to use Media Player as much as I could so I wouldn't have to install or use a new piece of software. As for the files, they're all mp3 or wma.

Zen Micro Sync Err

I have used the sync function on the Micro to back up my music collection to my
computer. Both times, the operation finished with a note that says -"errors encountered"
How can I check what kinds of errors ? The backup files looks ok to me, but I have no easy way
of verifying. Is there an error log ?
Thanks.
Corrections ! I just looked into the backedup folders and there is nothing in them. The folders were created but they are empty. Does this have anything to do with security of the songs ? I paid for them online and should have complete access (I think).
Thanks.Message Edited by malam on 07-2-2005 06:37 PM

You need to go to http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp and download Application #2 - Zen Micro Media Explorer .00. for Creative Zen Micro (Software Update Package for Zen Micro Players with *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware).
This will update Micro Media Explorer so you can use it with the Micro's new MTP firmware.

Zen Micro Sync Prob

Help! I have a Zen Micro with the laetst firmware, and the latest Creative MediaSource on Windows 2000 Pro. I just re-organised my directory structure, deleted everything from the PC Music Library and re-imported all the tracks (they're all WMA's FWIW). I then did a shed load of tag editing, to get them properly organised. So far, so good.
Then I deleted everything from the Zen, and tried to resync. Only about 80% of the tracks transferred, and the sync manager just reports that there were errors. There does not appear to be any consistency to this: some tracks with edited tags copy OK, others don't. Some albums have transferred only a couple of tracks, while others are fine.
Any clues?
Update: If I save the tags info back from MediaSource to the files, then import the files directly into the Zen, it seems to work OK. Except that it won't import corrected track numbers (i.e. where I have taken a 2CD set and stored them as a single 'album', and rejigged the track numbers for the 2nd CD so they play in the right order.)Message Edited by wiggo on 07-2-2005 :07 PM

EXACT same problem here too. You can transfer tracks directly to the player and it will work, but it would appear that certain tracks with edited tags either sync twice (two copies, one with old tag info, one with new) or won't sync at all.
I have been meaning to call Creative regarding this, however, my ZM is currently RMA for a hard dri've issue so the call can wait.
I would love it if there was a consistant way to edit track info and have that info copy to PC/MIcro.
Anyways, just wanted to echo your words in hopes someone is either working on a fix, or knows how the user can conquer this issue.

Zen Micro-WMP10 Probl

Whenever I try syncing music to my zen micro using wmp 0, it will occasionally freeze. its getting extremely annoying. on certain songs (not always the same songs, so its not the file thats damaged) the syncing will reach 00% and just stop. after quite a bit of time, a message pops up that says:
*The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Im using Windows XP, running SP2, and using the second firmware (v.2. something) please help, im considering getting an ipod mini now cuz i've had so many freezing problems.

You're not alone. Many of us are having the same problem with the v2 firmware. Some of us have added our system information to the following thread to assist Creative with diagnosing the problem:
http://forums.americas.creative.com/...essage.id=7473
Unfortunately it has been a month since the firmware was first released, and there hasn't been any indication that Creative is going to release a patch, or is even acti'vely working on the issue. I'm losing my patience and will probably return my Zen Micro to Amazon before the return period expires. The Zen Micro is a great piece of hardware, so I'm very disappointed.

Zen micro photo proble

ok so i've had my zen micro photo since last summer, which means that the creative lab crew wont help me since my purchase is over a year old. lame. well i had a minor 2 ft drop with my buddy, and it wont work. when i turn it on, it freezes on the "creative" screen. then when i get to the option window so i can attempt to clean it out, it wont work, i would like to say that it freezes also on all the options, but i cant really tell. those are i guess minor problems. i dont really know, but it also will occassionally make this odd "skipping" noise when i take the battery out and replace it so it will restart. this kid at Best Buy said that it has a small rotating disk on the inside and that it could of cracked or isnt on properly. but this is a drag. and you would think that i could just plug my baby into the computer with the USB cord,but now it wont even respond to the computer, or the computer wont recognize it. if you have any advice that would be swell.

i asked that same question because my zen micro broke no responded, but i did get a microphoto and have not had any problems yet.

Zen Micro Control proble

Hey guys, I just recieved a micro for christmas and noticed on mine, when the battery level indicates I have two bars left The control just freezes up on me and end up having to actually push hard on the touch pad for them to work. Is this a defect? Thx all.

First time I've heard mention of it. I would check that you have at least the .0.03 firmware, and that you've run a disk cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

Zen Micro headphone probl

I bought my Zen Micro in mid November(Limited Edition w/ extra battery) and has bee working fantastically until now. As I twist the headphone jack inside its socket, the sound of the music becomes very echo like and very soft but if I continue twisting it then it returns to normal. This has been very persistent for the last month and customer support has been unresponsi've. I only use my Zen on trips and at school, never for excersising and have never dropped it. On occation, if you tug on the headphone jack in just the right way, the player automatically turns on so sometimes in class, my music starts to play. I've called everyday since 5/2 at 3:00pm Western(California) and only get a message telling me the business hours. E-mail has been unresponsi've.
My friend at school also told me that in the first gen Zen Micros that this is a common problem and told me to refer to these fourms and I haven't found much at all with the Search Bar. Thank you for all your help!

MechAnt: It is a fault that gets posted about relati'vely frequently. Creative Support shouldn't be unresponsi've so () check your email spam trap for replies (2) make sure you reply to the first email you received from them (it does say to do this in the email). Failing that give them a call, or reply here and a moderator can look into whether they received your email or not.

Zen Micro Firmware Probl

I recently brought a 6GB Zen Micro, and all was fine, it had setup, etc. all perfectly. after useing it for a couple of days, i looked up about the battery drain due the the 2 hour standby, and attempted to upgraded the firmware.
the update stopped midway through, so i left it to see what happened. nothing after a couple of hours, so i cancelled it.
now when i turn on the Zen Micro, it says "firmware problem", and remains in recovery mode.
i tried "reload via USB" option, but then the firmware installer wont start because "player is not connected" (even though it phyically is)
windows however, does make the noise when you connect a removable dri've, although media player says that no player is detected either.
after reading a couple of threads here nothing seemed to help me.
can i anyone help me? id be really gratful
thanks.

does the micro still work alright? if it works, and the computer will register it, then you probably shouldn't bother upgrading the firmware. if it doesn't work, then i have no idea what to do, and you'll most likely have to contact customer support, and hopefully creative can somehow fix the problem, or help you fix the problem

ZEN MICRO TRANSFERING PROBL

I have a Zen Micro 5GB with the last firmware (the problem is also with the .X firmware), and when I connect it to the computer, it recognizes it and I can browse the ZEN content and start transfering songs (From Creative Media Source or WMP0).
After many songs (some times in the song # 208 or # 20), the transfer stops and the ZEN seems to be freezed, so I need to restart it pulling out the battery, and if I try to connect it back to the computer I cannot continue transfering songs.
The problem is not a song, because I can transfer most songs separately, but if you're asking why I do not transfer one by one, is because it happens again, with another song, the transfer stops in 80% or 98% or 65% and no response back.
I have always to format the player in order to start the transfer again.
Please if you know something that work with this, tell me... pleeeeeaaaaaseeeeee!!!
Thank you.

*sigh* zen micro installation probl

from searches, i see that this is common. haven't found a good solution to it yet, though.
i just bought a zen micro 6GB for my girlfriend. (awww). i have XP, and installed everything on the disc except acrobat and the aol shortcut.
creative mediasource installs fine .... the zen micro explorer installs fine .... but when i plug the player to the computer, it ) doesn't charge and 2) isn't recognized.
there is a yellow question mark on its usb port when i search for it.
what am i doing wrong?

Your chances of getting it to work when XP has a service pack is greatly increased. There are some who have got their player working on XP without a service pack, but on many systems a service pack is necessary. As far as I can tell it doesn't matter if you have SP or SP2 installed, there is no difference in success rates.

Creative Zen Micro 6GB probl

I've some problems with my Creative Zen Micro 6GB MP3-player.
It won't go on anymore because the on/off button is broken.
The MP3-Player already had some problems with getting stuck while it was?starting up, so the new problem with the on/off button was new. I've send an e-mail to Creative support but I already did that for 2 months ago and I got no answer. Does anybody knows what I should do or what the adress of Creative is in The Netherlands so I can send my Zen to them?Message Edited by Mattijs on 02-4-200703:53 AM

To send in a unit you have to arrange that with Customer Support first, they will arrange everything and give you the address details along with a reference number that must be on the front of the package when you send it to us.
When you e-mailed us before, did you get an auto response back? That always goes out, if you didn't receive that, it's possible that either your request didn't arri've with us, or that you did get a response but it got stuck in a spam filter (if you have one set up).

Zen Micro connection probl

Hi all,
I just got my Zen Micro yesterday, beautiful product, fun to use. It seems to be a little glitchy though- I have already successfully loaded about 2 gbs of music onto it, but now my computer isn't detecting the device when i plug it in. I get the windows sound when i plug it in, but Zen Micro Media Explorer fails to detect it. The screen on the player stays on the "Docked" screen (with white arrows), and locks up. I end up having to take out the battery and trying it over again, which still doesn't work. Anyone have any suggestions to get around this problem?
some notes:
- i am using a toshiba laptop, very fast and very new.
- i tried the Creative Mediasource at first, but that was giving me problems, so i unintalled and reinstalled just the Zen Micro Media Explorer, which has until recently been working fine.
- batteries full, player in perfect working condition otherwise.
i could sure use some advice...i don't want to have to send it back to creative after waiting for this player for a while!
thanks in advance
alex

Absynthesis,
Have you gone into rescue mode on the player yet and tried a cleanup? This can help with the problem that you are experiencing. Instructions on this are in a sticky message at the top of this board.
Also you may want to make sure all of the drivers (motherboard drivers) for your laptop are up to date.
