Zen Micro w/ firmware 1.x and Media Player 10. Get sync

Hi?I've discovered what was my PC USB 2.0 problems!!! The voltage on mother boart too high! (2.72 instead of the lowest 2.6)!!! That caused USB 2.0 bridge don't working
!!! Anyway. Started with the ZM right connected to the front USB 2.0 port I've started MP 0 to fix my playlists and the import them on Creative Media Source to be then sync'ed with MP3 player. Surprise!!! Just clicking on Sincronize on MP 0 I got the Zen there!!! With its playlists and ready to be syn'ed with MP... So...all that stuffs about firmware, patches....

belay that and sorry for posting this without thoroughly searching through the forum ...
From a post on nomadness.net:
All,
.0.02 is the PDE firmware that enables the 4hr. standby timer. There will be an MTP version that does this also, however the PDE firmware was ready first so we released it ASAP.

  • Zen Micro PlaysForSure firmware Help

    I have Zen Micro with firmware .0.03 and I want to upgrade it, but I don't know which firmware I have to choose
    May I choose firmware PlaysForSure 2.00.2e or firmware .02.05 ? Which is better? Or maybe I shouldn't upgrade my Zen and stay with .0.03 (it's stable)
    And one more question: The PlaysForSure 2.00.2e firmware is stable and with no problems with it's?

    but I still haven't answer for: WHY I have to use wmp 0? Only for listening music or maybe for transffering music to Zen?
    And still how can I downgrade firmware?
    . With the 2.xx.xx firmware it needs WMP 0 for the built in MTP, music management and DRM functionality that is enabled under the 2.xx.xx firmware. You also need XP because WMP0 is not supported under anything else.
    2. If you have a .xx.xx firmware version on the player and are under Windows 2000 or anything other than XP the unit CAN NOT be upgraded to a 2.xx.xx firmware. The update will fail or quit if you attempt to update to a 2.xx.xx firmware on anything but XP. If you already have a 2.xx.xx firmware on the player it will nolonger be recognized on a Win2000 or less system. It is only useable on a an XP system at that point.
    3. Once you have upgraded to the .02.05 firmware or the 2.xx.xx firmware you can only go back and forth between those two versions ( As long as you are on XP )

  • Have a Zen Micro (6GB) - Lost Software CD and Firmware update confuses me. Please he

    I bought my Zen Micro about 7 months ago and have been using it fine until recently formatted my computer and realized I've lost my software cd (the one that comes with the player).
    I tried downloading the Creative MediaSource Organizer/Player (version 3.30.2) and updating the firmware (thereby loosing all the songs I had saved in there. Ugh.) in my Zen Player and in the beginning MediaSource <i>still</i> wouldn't pick up my Creative Player. Then, I don't know why, it now works...but it works like a normal External HardDri've or a PenDi've would! It not longer has that menu thing (where there's a list of artist and albums) at the left side but simply folders under the Creative Player.
    Does anyone know where I can get the old firmware and download the required software? I <i>greatly</i> prefer the way my player worked before I updated the firmware/software and I would like to just have that back even if it doesn't have as much features or whatever came with the upgrade. (iTunes or something. Has no idea what that is.)
    Also, does Creative have a Service Center in Malaysia (specifically Kuala Lumpur) and can anyone tell me where it is or give me the phone number to call? I'm still under my warranty but this site doesn't list a number to call although they say they give Telephone Support until the warranty expires.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Cherish
    Edit: BTW, I <i>have</i> tried emailing Customer Support but so far, no reply, and that was...2 weeks ago, I think? And, like I said, the Customer Support section in this site doesn't list any numbers/Service Centers which is why I'm asking...Message Edited by cherish90 on 02-06-200705:25 PM
    Edit the second: Does anyone know if the confirmation email that Creative is supposed to send to your account after you send them an email isn't working? Because I just double checked my inbox and I realized I never got any confirmation letter. And I'm <i>very</i> sure I didn't accidentally delete it.Message Edited by cherish90 on 02-06-200707:38 PM

    LOL. I've sent in my player. FINALLY found the Service Center (for those in KL who want to know, it's in Berjaya Amoda, behind Low Yat and opposite Times Square) after asking the shop I bought the player from.
    And the guy who I talked to called their HQ or whatever and said that neither of the messages I sent (I sent 2; one shortly after I started this thread) were recorded/received on their end although I DID get the "Your message has been sent" page after clicking on the 'submit' button. And yeah, I used this email too. *confused* Maybe Creative doesn't work with Mozilla Firefox (the browser I'm using)? I think that's kind of lame, though, because FireFox is like practically as big as EI now and it's more user-friendly (the tabs are uber cool IMHO). Unless Creative has some sort of problem with Mozilla...
    *cough*
    ANYWAY...
    Yeah, I did download the PlayForSure plugin (although I have no idea what it's for) and MediaSource STILL picked up my Micro as something like a pendri've.
    Never mind, though. The guy I talked to - never got his name... - said that once you've upgraded the firmware to the latest (which is the one that needs all these weird plugins and makes the device an MTP [I THINK that's what it's called] device) you can't change the firmware back to the old one unless they send it in. So I'm sending it in. And I think they'll replace the software CD for me too, so that's all good.
    Thanks anyway, Jason.

  • Zen Micro V2 Firmware probl

    Hello-
    I've had the Zen Micro for a few days and I loved it, until I upgraded to the new firmware (2.002 - PlaysForSure functionality) which makes it auto sync w/ WMP 0. I was excited about the possibility so I went ahead and upgraded and I have had multiple problems with the new firmware release. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered these, or if they are bugs that need to be worked out.
    First, after upgrading I synced with WMP 0 and certain songs would transfer to 00% then would hang and I would get an error message in WMP 0 saying: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. Error code: 800703E3. This never happened before. After removing the songs that would cause this problem, I no longer get this message, but the prob still must be attributed to some change that occurred with the upgrade since the faulty songs transferred perfectly before upgrading.
    Second, and more importantly, is the fact that songs are not being filed correctly on the Micro since the new firmware has been installed. All songs that do not contain information in the "Album" field of the ID tag are unaccessible now. If you select "Artist" in the Micro, the only songs available are those that are categorized by album. With the prior firmware, songs not tagged w/ info in the album field would automatically go in a section called <Unknown>. Now, they are not accessible at all. If I have an artist w/ one song on the Micro and the song doesn't have info in the album field on the ID tag, the artist is available but after selecting it I come to a blank screen on the Micro. I have also attributed this to the new firmware b/c I've reinstalled the older one and the filing system is back to normal and is fully functional.
    If anyone has encountered these probs or come up w/ solutions let me know. I'd love to be able to utilize the auto sync features of WMP 0 but for now I'll manually sync and keep things in order on the Micro's side of things w/ the older firmware version. Thanks for any help/input.
    Take care,
    Craig

    Bear with me as I lay out the problems/sequence of events:
    - Got excited over the MTP support and upgraded. My laptop stopped recognizing the Zen
    - Creative support thought that my MP0 maybe hosed; so I rollback and install MP0 again. No resolution.
    - Went into to 'rescue mode' and wiped the disk clean
    - Installed the old firmware; my laptop recognized the Zen
    I pressed on and connected my Zen to a desktop and upgraded the firmware to MTP support (v2.x)
    - I was able to sync with MP0 but frequently experienced problems with 'hang' during sync after 00%
    - I disconnected the unit and MP0 aborted the sync
    - Reconnect and sync would hang at the exact same song. Further, I noticed the following:
    - Songs would sync up very fast (noticed around 800KB/S)
    - The problem song would experience startup problems and would hang after reaching 00%
    - I deleted the 'problem' song (which plays fine in MP0) and 'sync' continued without problems
    - Created a playlist in MP0 which synced OK; but the Playlist is missing in Zen!!
    Summary:
    I think Creative released the f/w too early.

  • Zen Micro needs firmware update for Vista, but what now as it fail

    As I now use Vista (paid for by my work) I came to install my Zen Micro which wasn't recognised so I came to the website and discovered that you need version 2 of the firmware for it to be compatible with Vista. Having never had the need to upgrade before I was still on Version one so I downloaded it onto my other WinXP machine?which I've used my Zen on alot before to do the upgrade. Started the upgrade and all seemed to be well until a point a 3rd of the way through a box came up asking what I'd like to do with the device (like the one when a USB key inserted). Leaving the upgrade I returned hour later to see nothing has changed and the upgrade has failed.
    I've tried all the options with recovery mode but it still just shows up as having version 0.0.65 and when inserted into a PC shows up as a?Creative Zen Micro?in device manage and has a 20MB disk partition for storage but when I try and run a firmware patch it says its not connected.
    Looking round this forum this seems to be quite common upto now but with the release of Vista people are forced to take the 'risk' of running a firmware update that when it fails doesn't seem to be recoverable even in recovery mode. Please can you look into updating the firmware to find these devices that it can't see, for many years I've laughed at my friends with their crashing ipods that need charging everyday due to not being able to change the battery but it now seems the jokes on me.

    I used Adambonello's fix and it worked?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...mp=true#M80097

  • Zen Micro PlaysForSure firmware upgrade fatal error - RESOL

    First, sorry about poor english!
    When i tried to upgrade my Zen Micro to the latest firmware i got the following message: "Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware Upgrade: This application only supports Windows XP platform with at least Service Pack installed." The executable name was: ZenMicroP4S_PCFW_L6_2_2_02.exe and yes i have Windows XP SP2 installed on my computer. (and on the other three computers, where i got the exact error message.)Message Edited by kaszast on 0-26-2006 08:37 AM

    Dear Creative!
    You screwed the upgrade program a bit, because it is works ONLY IN ENGLISH version on Windows XP. Shame! You are pushing me into the sea of warez...

  • Creative Zen micro (no driver installation?) and cost of 5gb mod

    Just wondering is it ppossible to copy music without having to install drivers? cause i want to use it at uni after i record lectures i want to access the lectures on my uni pc.
    but currently it goes to install a driver and my uni pc's dont allow that
    also is it true that with a recen firmware you can increase the size of the removable hard disk partition?
    Finally if anyone is from australia would you know where the cheapest place to buy the zen micro is?
    i see somepeople posting that they can get it for EUR$39 = AUD$25 which is a lot cheaper than AUD$329-$369 for the 5gb model that i have seen at dicksmith.

    infinityx wrote:Just wondering is it ppossible to copy music without having to install drivers? cause i want to use it at uni after i record lectures i want to access the lectures on my uni pc.
    The Zen Micro v2 firmware supports MTP. If the PCs have Win XP and WMP0 then they use a generic driver built-in to Windows.
    Alternati'vely if you just want to transfer data use the USB mass storage mode.

  • ZEN Micro won't turn Off and now won't turn

    Hi Everyone, hope you can help me out here.
    I have been using my ZEN micro for about week now and it was at first working fine.
    Then it started not turning off, so i had to pull out the battery.
    This is obviously very annoying, but it got worse over time.
    It now won't turn on unless i switch it about 30-40 times.
    What is going on, is there a way to fix it and is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks very much,
    Fern

    FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
    My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
    The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
    I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
    Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!

  • Zen micro... please read and ans

    Hi
    For an apple ipod there is something called an ihome audio. Which is a clock/ alarm clock and u can listne to ur ipid while charging it... Is there anything like that for a zen micro.. From any brand. Like ihome isnt from apple its just made for apple.. Anyone know anything like that for a zen micro?
    Thanks
    GO YANKEES

    There's nothing identical that I'm aware of.
    The Zen Micro Traveldock is about as similar as you'll get, but doesn't have a clock. Of course the Micro has an alarm built-in.

  • N95, Vista drivers and media player mode

    HI, Sorry to double post but I'm new to this forum and not sure where this should go. I got a new N95, I installed the older version of PC suite that came on the disc with the phone. I then updated to the latest version. .83 . It works fine with PC suite I can sync things transfer files etc, however I cant use it in data transfer or media player mode (it keeps searching for drivers it cant find). These are the only modes I am interested in. This is on a fairly new laptop with Vista ultimate installed. However I tried it on another computer in my house with Vista Home Premium installed, however this time I didn't install any extra software and it detected the phone in both data transfer and media player mode without any problems.
    So I'm guessing that it installed something to mess it up when I installed the original version of PC Suite. PC Suite cleaner says it isn't vista compatible but I ran it in XP compatibility mode and it appeared to do something, but I have un-installed all versions of PC Suite and it still has the same problem, I cant use system restore as it kept setting restore points whenever it installed a part of PC suite and I ran out of system restore points. So please tell me how can I get it back to normal. It looks like I'm not the only one here with a similar problem, someone must know something, Id be really grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    yes, I do have same problem but I'm using N80 and winxp home, media player version 11, can anyone help us thankx
    I can help I think. I just spent all afternoon yesterday with this problem and my conclusion is that in spite of what Nokia says somewhere in the installation documentation about the Media Player driver for WMP 10 working with WMP 10 "or above", it does not work with WMP 11, and if you want this functionality you will have to roll back to WMP 10 from WMP 11.
    I think this may not be an option for Vista users, but for WinXP SP2 and an N80ie such as I have, here is what happened to me.
    I had WMP 11 and I downloaded the driver for WMP 10 from here.
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4237039
    I then connected the N80ie to the PC using the C series cable that came with the phone, and when the Found New Hardware Wizard started I browsed to the location of the driver file and it announced that it had installed it, and I had to reboot. Whenever I would reboot, or even without rebooting, the Found New Hardware Wizard kept opening again, and again, and again and would seemingly have never stopped opening.
    Now in retrospect I see that I wasn't installing it according to the directions, which say to right click on the WMP 10 driver file and choose "Install", but I don't think that would work any better if I had.
    In the end, I rolled back to the Version of WMP that was on the machine when I installed WinXP (which was WMP 9) and then upgraded it to WMP 10.
    Then following the directions for installation this time, I right clicked on the WMP 10 driver file, installed it, and it works fine.
    If you open WMP 10 and choose Sync, and if the N80ie is connected via cable and Media Player mode, you will be able to choose it at the top of the right hand pane of the Sync display in WMP 10 and see the files on yor N80 plus (if the directions are correct and I understand them correctly... I haven't tried it) copy files in one direction from WMP 10 to your N80.
    One thing I did differently than the rollback instructions call for... if you check here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/readme.aspx
    Step 15 under "Rolling back to a previous version of the Player" says "Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.0.0" and then click "Remove".
    I found that I had "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5" installed instead of 1.0.0 and when I clicked "Remove" I got dialog box that said if I removed it a whole list of programs might not work anymore, including but not only Nokia PC Suite, and Nokia Software Updater. So I elected NOT to remove "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5", and everything seems to work OK in spite of my not doing that.
    Hope this helps.
    I think that Nokia needs to come out with an updated driver for WMP 11 or Vista users are out of luck if they can't roll back to WMP 10, and us XP users will have to stay on WMP 10 until that happens if we want this feature to work on our N80's.
    Best Regards,
    Dave

    Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
    But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems.
