Zen Micro Transfer Files Problem.

Hello, Ive had this Zen Micro for about 3 weeks already, perhaps even a month or so.
The music on it is fine and whatnot, the thing that is happening now is that whenever I try to upload music to it, the song doesnt even get to start loading, it just says..."Pending", and then it reads as, "Failed". This has occurred more than once already. Ive already uninstalled everything and have installed it all over again twice now, and still same problem.
Now, with Window Media Player, it used to work, but then exactly when Media Explorer stopped working, so did WMP.
It gave me this as an error: 8004200C
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Have you tried a disk cleanup from rescue mode?

Zen Micro:transfer file er

I finally got to exchanging my micro due to the problems with the headphone jack and when I plug the new micro into my computer to transfer tracks I had on the previous micro the message "Unable to read file, file may be in use, corrupted or lost" has popped up for almost every single track. At first I thought it was just for the songs I had downloaded off the internet but then the tracks which I had burned off cd's showed the same message. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Do you have the same firmware on the new ZM as on the old one?
That could cause such a problem, theoretically.
Cheers,
Jan.

ZEN MICRO - WMA files transferred but without title

I used creative media explorer to transfer .wma files to the Zen Micro. Files are transferred?but theres no title for any of them. In details of each clip, ony the length of the clip is there. No album name, no title, no artist.
?Why could that be ?

Do the files have id tags?Go to the My Music folder & check that the files are tagged.

Zen Micro - transfer lock ups with latest firmwa

I've been trying to transfer mp3 files to my firmware upgraded Zen Micro and find that the transfer slows down and then locks the player after 30-40 files have successfully copied. This happens with ..0 and 2.2.02 firmwares.
The player will then remain in a 'acti've' docked state (black arrows) until the battery is removed. After this lock up tags on the mp3 files are messed up and display Chinese looking characters in the Details View.
This happens on two different computers with USB2.0, one Intel based and the other AMD.
Two questions - anyone know if this is a known issue being worked on for an imminent firmware update? And secondly - is the problem aggravated (or even created) because I am trying to copy files over from a directory tree (mp3's sorted into artist/album/ folders) rather than one flat folder with all mp3s in it (ie. in one single folder).

I'd try transferring fewer files at a time and see if that works.
You might be on to something with copying from a directory tree too. See if transferring the files in smaller groups from one folder helps out.
You can always organize the artists/albums later in Zen Micro Media Explorer or Creative MediaSource.

Creative zen micro transfer prob

When using Napster to transfer songs to my zen micro mp3 player the following happens.
License storgae is not working.Contact microsoft product support.
When I hit click here for more information nothing happens.
It has worked previously without any problems! Can anybody help??

Here is a list of things to check:
) Confirm you have Windows Media Player 0 installed on your XP SP or later system.
2) Confirm your Zen Micro has the latest 2.x firmware (2..02 Beta or later). The .x firmware does not support N2G. Download the 2..02 Beta firmware from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads
3) Confirm KB8922 "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players" is installed on your XP SP or later system with WMP 0. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922 for details.
4) Confirm your Zen Micro's system time is synched to the system time of your computer.
5) Confirm XP and the Napster client recognize your Zen Micro is connected. It should display under the "Portable Device" object in the "Library" window of the Napster client. The Zen Micro Display should read "Docked". See if you can transfer files using WMP 0. Confirm the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer version .00. ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads ) can access your Zen Micro. Can it transfer tracks to the device?
6) Confirm your firewall is not interfering with the connection to Napster or to the internet for current date and time. Consider disabling firewall, Antivirus, and Spyware Scanners as a diagnostic step to troubleshoot your transfer issue.
7) Consider reinstalling Windows Media Player 0 and KB8922.
8) Check the USB cable connection. Determine the USB chipset on your system. There are forum threads where users resolved transfer problems by installing a new USB Adapter with a different chipset or determined the problem was the USB cable. You can also troubleshoot by attempting the transfer on another computer (if available).

Real Player Zen Micro Transfer Quest

I have some files I purchased a number of years ago via Real Player. They have an .rax extension and when I try and transfer them to the Micro I get an incompatable format message. I was just wondering if anybody knows a way to transfer these files to the Micro. Thanks for any help.

The transfer speeds should be much faster if you use one of the MTP firmwares (2.xx). Also, are you using USB 2.0?

ZEN MICRO FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD PROBLEM! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!

I've had my 6gb micro for a little over 2 wks..and i wanted to download the free 30 day Napster to go offer that came with my package..and one of the steps before downloading Napster was updating Zen Micro's firmware..well i tried and it downloaded and after it asked me to select my language, i got a message saying: "your player's not connected, please connect your player" and my mp3 was hooked up through the USB..so i tried reconnecting and it still said the same...so at this time i skipped over updating this firmware and downloaded my subscription to Napster anyway...everything was working fine..i was downloading songs in Napster and syncing them with windows media player 0 which i already had on my comp...but about 5 days ago, my syncs began to start failing often...and I'm sure that i need these firmware updates for my mp3 to transfer files successfully but the problem is that my mp3 is not being recognized every time i try to install these firmware updates.... I'm quite stumped at this point.....DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY HELP THEY CAN OFFER ME.. ID GREATLY APPRECIATE IT by the way the firmware version that came with my player and is currently on it is 2.20.05

The firmware version you have is fine for Napster tracks, so you don't need to update. If your transfers are failing, there's something else going on.

ZenCast + Zen Micro - Transfer Er

I always get a "Error: General error" message from Sync Manager or ZenCast when trying to transfer any podcast. I just downloaded ZenCast and it always produces this error. I upgrade the firmware and Windows driver to the latest version available today, but the ZenCast error persists. Other SW (WMP, Yahoo) can still transfer files to the Zen. Anyone know what's going on here?

Hi, did you work out what the problem was? As i have a similar thing with some downloaded tracks but not others....

Zen Micro "not connected" problem since upgrading firmw

Hi All,
I have had the zen micro for a week and it has been working fine with original firmware & software supplied on CD.
After noticing the battery life was poor, I decided to upgrade the firmware.
This is where all my troubles began...
After upgrading the firmware to 2.00.2 I found that when I connected my player it was now recognised at an MTP device and windows asks me if I would like WMP (windows media player) to sync with the device.
If I select yes, it tries to find the device in WMP and tells me it is not connected !
If I go into Control Panel- Device Manager tells me that I DO have a zen micro connected under the "Windows Media Devices" section.
Zens micro media explorer now also fails to see my device and thinks it is disconnected.
So I have no way of transferring files to my zen micro.
In an attempt to remove the problem I try going into rescue mode on the zen and reloading the firmware to an earlier version, with a version I have downloaded from this website .0.03.
The zen successfully erases the firmware and behold, my pc still fails to recognise the device so it cannot install any firmware on top of this.
So now I have a Zen with no firmware installed (and a "firmware problem" message everytime I turn it on) and a pc that won't recognise it anymore.
I have spent a good 5 hours this evening trying to fix this.
I have tried everything on these forums, but I simply cannot get my PC to connect to the zen micro, despite it recognising it everytime I connect it !
Please help before me or the zen dies !
Thanks,
Mat.

Here is a note I sent to the Creative support folks. They simply suggested I go back to firmware .0.03.
I have to admit, going back to the other firmware update does not seem to be the true resolution, but I really don't have any more time to waste fixing your bugs. So, I am now on .0.03. It's a good thing I synchronized all 920+ songs, or I would not be a happy camper right now. :-)
I will tell you it appears to be a multiple USB issue with your new firmware. I experimented with this, and found that if I have my iPAQ connected into my USB ports, as well as my USB mouse, my USB CD/DVD dri've and my USB Keyboard, the MTP explorer will not recognize the Zen Micro.
When I take the iPAQ out, magically, the Zen Micro gets recognized and the MTP Explorer is working. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH THE MTP FIRMWARE!!
I am now back to the .0.03 release of the firmware and none if this happens. As I write this to you, I have everything connected and I am ripping a CD to my device - no problems. I am fortunate however to have a laptop that I was able to do this with, otherwise I would be in the same place others are, and the upgrade frimware doesn't ever recognize the Zen Micro, even though it is in the Device Manager. ?
So, I would say, that your MTP firmware takes control too much, and seems to substitute for something like an iPAQ, where they cannot co-exist or other USB harware, such as a memory reader (CF, SmartMemory, etc.). This is not a PC USB issue, in my mind. It is a firmware issue that is causing the conflict.
Thanks.

Zen Micro transfer probl

At first I thought it was Napster, but...
When I try to transfer to my Zen Micro from Napster To Go, I get errors and have to ctrl-alt-del Napster. So I went to Creative MediaSource Organizer and tried to transfer from there... the same thing happens. I get errors and have to ctrl-alt-del. I can transfer the first few songs, but the transfer is VERY slow, and I eventually get the errors again.
I've tried reinstalling *everything*, including formatting my Micro and reinstalling the firmware and drivers. Has anyone had a problem with this? Is there some setting I should change on my computer?
Thanks.Message Edited by JennyZ on 0-5-2005 0:57 PM

Zen Micro 5GB - Installation problems - HELP ple

Dear All
I am sure must have been asked before, so please bear with me.
Just bought a Zen Micro and cannot seem to install the supplied software from the CD. Keep getting a InstalWizard 6003 error message. Have tried restarting, deleting temporary files (even connevting to net) and still get same message.
Have tried to install then by copying files to harddri've and running from there but that fails.
What am I to do or have I a dud?
All suggestions greatefull recieved.
Andy

I was also thinking - how's your cd player on the pc - is it generally ok ?
try copying the files from the cd to your hard dri've and running from there.
Sometimes you can get -6003 errors if some of the source files are unreadable for any reason.
If that fails then i suggest downloading from creatives website and trying the install again incase you just have a dud cd.
Seeing as you've just got it i'll also tell you from my own experience......
I have a zen micro 5gb bought it about 3 months ago and had no problems with the installation but that was on a fully patched up to date winxp sp2 with 2Ghz memory.
I did have issues with the zen micro itself hanging but i upgraded to the 2..02 firmare beta and it has been happy ever since.

Zen Micro Transfer Spe

Just got my micro yesterday. I?m very pleased with the player. I previously had the IAudio M3. It was a decent player but the display on the remote drove me crazy and I was looking for something a little smaller. Anyways I must say that I?m disappointed with the Creative software. I find it very clunky. I had written syncing software for the IAudio , unfortunately the Zen Micro uses a proprietary driver that it uses to recognize the player.

The transfer speeds should be much faster if you use one of the MTP firmwares (2.xx). Also, are you using USB 2.0?

Zen Micro 5gb unusual problem.

Firstly, I have searched for other posts, but can't find my particular situation described, so please forgive if this is actually addressed elsewhere, I just couldn't find it.....
I bought two Zen Micro 5gb units, for my wife and daughter.
At first, they both worked great. No problems connecting to my windows xp pro computer, transferred files fine, even if it WAS slow due to USB ports being ., but like I said, they both worked fine.
Then, the next day, I downloaded an upgraded driver for my wife's zen, for the jukebox software. Ever since then, her zen will not connect to the computer, it always says device not connected.
The strange thing is, though, that my daughter's zen still connects without any problems, and transfers songs just fine.
Here's the firmware info:
My wife's Zen (the one the will NOT connect): Firmware (System->Information) : version .02.05
My daughter's Zen (the one that works fine): Firmware : .0.03......
I'm emailing this from work, and I don't have either mp3 player with me, so I'm hoping I have the numbers correct on the firmware, however, I DO remember for certain that the player that WON'T connect has a slightly higher version number than the one that works okay, and that they both start with ""; in other words, neither have firmware version "2.x"...... I even tried updating the firmware on the non-connecting unit, but, alas, it said the unit was not connected, so I was unable to update.....
After all this, I didn't dare do anything to the other unit....
BTW, I did try both players on the same USB port, using the both USB cables, and still, my wife's player would NOT connect but my daughter's did.... I also switched to another port, with the same results.
Thanks for any and all help,
James Bentley

I apologize for not updating this thread sooner...... I got a Creative support rep on the phone, he directed me to the Device Manager, which listed the player, but showed it to be disabled. I enabled it......and the player is working just fine!
Thanks for all the help here and thanks to the Creative support rep.....!

Zen Micro - two more problems...... oye

So last week I received my replacement Zen Micro (the headphone jack was faulty in the old one..... etc etc).
Since the new one arri'ved, I've had two problems:
)There is a constant ringing coming out of the player when it is switched on, like a buzzing noise.....
2)Today while flicking to a track, it crashed like a computer. The screen froze and I couldn't do anything with it, had to remove the battery.
Anyone have any clues wat I should do? Besides going back 4 months and buying an iRi'ver instead.....

I have had it alright with my player after I used clean up and reloaded the firmware, But last night, just got in, Took my player out of my pocket to turn it off. Switched the power button from hold to turn it off. But when I moved the button the player still said it was locked. I moved the button back to locked, and then back again, but still nothing. Once again I had to remove the battery.
Creative make the removable battery a selling point, but in fact its the only way to turn the bloody thing off sometimes. And the only reason I don't send it back is because I will never get a replacement by the time I go on holiday. But once again it seems fine, but I'm just waiting for the next crappy thing to happen.
oh, and I left it on pause today in my pocket, (only for a minute) then when I pressed play on my remote nothing happened. So I checked the player to find that top half of the screen was black and the bottom was white. And guess how you fix it's ....... that's right you have to take the battery out. Its random stuff like this I put I with day to day which I don't think I shouldn't be doing. I know everything has a bug or to in it, but this just getting out of hand. I don't like to go on, and At the start when I go my player I was fine, and I was happy with it. But now only after a week or two, its turned in to a player from hell. Once I'm back in the UK I might have to send it back. The thing is driving me mad.
I don't know, I just feel let down
