Zen MicroPhoto and external power sup

Hi!
I recently bought a zen microphoto. But now I need a power supply to recharge it without a pc connected to it. I saw that on the creative on-line shop there are 3 different zen power supply. Which is the right one?
Creative Zen Uni'versal Power Adapter, Creative ZEN Power Adapter or Creative Zen Micro Power Supply?
Thanks
Enrico

It's the Zen Micro Power Adapter. It works with both the Micro and MicroPhoto.

  • Zen MicroPhoto and/or Vision:M and Windows compatibil

    Are either of the Zen MicroPhoto and Vision:M compatable with Windows ME/Media Player 9 or do I have to upgrade my OS?

    Hi Thanks for your reply, but I dont think you get what I mean. When I go to a friends house I just plug my Zen into his usb and bing bong, my zen appears in his "my computer" view along with all the other dri'ves. I can then click on it open it browse the folders in it, copy my music to him, copy his to my zen, all by dragging and dropping. I do not have to use any special software to do this, and I always used to do this on my own PC too, its the way I prefer to use my zen, and this is exactly why I bought a creative zen, and not an Ipod !My pc crashed last month, and I had to have a new dri've, when it came back to me the zen would not work, it still does on anybody else's pc, as described. I could not remember if I had had to load a driver or something for it, so I ran the creative disc, and of course all I could do then was to use the bspoke software.Now even after uninstalling?The Creative Software?as described above and going through the registry deleting all the folders left behind, I still cannot get my zen to appear as it always used to. I do not want to use the Creative special software.Help !

  • Zen MicroPhoto and it's CREATIVE MEDIA SOU

    Since last year I have a Zen Micro 5Gb and I always could change the MP3 informations (name, album...) in the MP3,using the program. Today I've the Zen MicroPhoto 8Gb and I upload the music in it. I had a mistake and a write as a album's name "Taxman" and not "Revolver" (revolver is the correct). I tried to change the album's name as the Zen Micro 5Gb but i can't! If I use the Creative MediaSource as a friend told me, it frooze and then I can't use it. How I have to do it's
    Lot of thanks. Lot of peoplo without you don't now what to do.

    Before buying a charger, be sure to test other USB ports on your computer [or on other computers, if one is handy].
    Some computers do not provide full power all the USB ports.

  • Just got an 8 gig Zen MicroPhoto and love it! Just some suggestions tho

    Hi everyone, my friend was considering a Zen Vision M and an Ipod video. I kinda suggested the Zen so he got it and absolutely loves it.
    After seeing how nice the Zen Vision M is, I jumped on this MicroPhoto when I saw a sale and it is awesome!
    The Zen MicroPhoto is a really good device, but just simple firmware stuff could make it a great one.
    .) Ability to view pictures + listen to music
    2.) Ability to view movies and video (the Muvo has smaller capacity and a screen with less colors and it can? Yet we are buying a nicer mp3 player than the Muvo but can't do video? The Sansa is small as hell and it can. It has the screen, hardware wise it should be able to do it, and if this is added through a firmware update, it won't be on the packaging and thus will not hurt sales of your other products.
    I hate it when an awesome product is created and is capable of something and the manufacturer slashes that ability from it intentionally.
    Another good example is the Gen III Ford Taurus SHO, its 3.4 liter Yamaha V8 was capable of revving well over 7500RPM and producing more than 30hp. Ford however, even though they had this jewel of an engine, intentionally cut its ability down to 235hp or else they feared it would be faster than their Mustang GT. What a shame, I hate to see that Creative is doing the same with the MicroPhoto.
    3.) Ability to record FM with the latest firmware (If this is a RIAA issue, then please provide two firmwares and two download links, one that says "United States Users" and one that says "Non-US users"
    4.) Ability to control different aspects of the glowing blue LEDs. They are obviously firmware controlled and can have brightness adjusted since they glow in and out when you have it plugged into the USB cable.
    5.) Make it show up on your computer as a removable disk. On all my other MP3 players, it showed up just like a flash dri've and you could drag and drop whatever you wanted onto it, and it would just play whatever files on there it could play. Here, it won't let me drag and drop anything that is copy protected or is a different file type.
    I know you can set aside 4 gigs of that for this purpose, but with the size of the files and videos I transfer, it would be nice if I could use all 8 gigs. Perhaps an option to just let the whole thing show up as a removable flash dri've?
    *ok... I just tried it and that seems to be working on this computer that is Windows XP SP2 with WMP, but on the school computer that was XP SP2 with WMP0, it would not allow me to do this.

    I think you will find that the reason the MicroPhoto is on sale is that it is now a legacy player (it was released before anybody could play video). I doubt very much that any further improvements will be coming....
    EQ does have an effect... Maybe you earphones are not working well?

  • T440s keyboard and external power supply

    The issue that I come across is if T440s starts up on battery, as soon as the external power supply is connected, the keyboard stops responding, as well as mouse. if I disconnect external power supply, both keyboard and mouse function as usual.
    If start up on external poewr supply, it seems to be OK.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Hans -
    Taking a look a the PrecisionHD Camera User Guide on pg 9, the 2.5x camera does have a power supply connector just like the 4x and 12x cameras.  It does say the power supply connector is For future use, so it doesn't seem like it supports an external PSU at this time.

  • Zen microphoto and recharcing batter

    hi,
    I want to buy zen microphoto.
    I'd know if it's possible to use the mp3 player while the battery is under charge (using the USB charge adapter AC/DC).
    thanks
    have a nice day ^_^

    No you can't, the only thing happens when you plug the player to a USB wire is that the screen changes and a lightning sign with a battery in background appears .. kind of a screen saver ..
    but no sounds goes out.
    Good point is that the battery can stands for really long, almost a 3 days without stopping player .. so no chance to miss any music, you just have to think of plugging it while you sleep !!!
    Cheer up man that would be a good choice !!

  • ZEN MICROPHOTO AND CF CARD/ HARD DR

    Does anyone know if I can put a compact flash card in my zen microphoto instead of my hard drive? Or where I can get a replacement hard dri've for it, I have dropped it, and now sometimes it randomly skips to a different song.

    It can be done as long as you're confident working with electroinc devices.
    Here are a couple of threads to read.
    Best of luck!

  • Zen Microphoto and Single Sided Deafn

    I have lost almost all of my hearing in my right ear but still enjoy listening to my Zen. however, the music on my Zen is in stereo so, in a lot of cases, the music/singing going on in one ear is not the same as what is happening in the other ear.
    Can I download my music so that it is not in stereo and therefore I would be able to hear all of it in my best ear?

    Maybe a mono headphone or a stereo to mono adapter jack would work? You could probably get either at an electronics store.

  • Creative Zen Microphoto half-instal

    Hi, I have a zen microphoto and I was installing the software + drivers + stuff onto my computer and there was a power cut halfway through installing, now there is a creative folder in Program Files (presumably only half full) but no listing on the Add/Remove software tool and when I try to reinstall, it doesn't launch the installer and instead just says Creative Zen MicroPhoto was successfully installed, even though it wasn't.

    same problem here, creative logo stays until all the juice is drained

  • Zen Microphoto Drivers / How to use microphoto without

    I've lost the CD for my Zen Microphoto and just recently formatted and reinstalled Win XP on my computer. Most companies host drivers for the hardware they sell. Creative seems to be taking exception to the microphoto. I've downloaded everything listed in the downloads section for the microphoto. The strange thing is that there is no driver listed. I've been trying for weeks to find a way to transfer songs to and from my zen and have yet to find a way. I can't even install the zen organizer application because it requires a connection with my zen player (which my computer can't find without a driver). I've tried connecting with my zen on several different computers. Nothing works. Any ideas?
    By the way, who's bright idea at creative was it to sell mp3 players that don't come with power cords that connect with wall outlets?

    If you are using standard oracle client, software is installed correctly, you shouldn't need to. The oracle directories will already be on the path.
    If you are using instant client you will have to set your path manually. Goto control panel -> system -> Environment variables.
    I'm fairly sure the Instance client installation document has something on this.
    Windows doesn't use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It just uses PATH

  • Zen Microphoto Pixel Problems (Red Li

    OK, so I have a BRAND NEW Zen Microphoto and ever since I first turned the thing on I have this RED LINE (about pixel wide) running vertically down the middle of my screen. It's like you can still see what's there behind it if you look closely.
    I actually had gotten it go away for a little while, and it has come back and has been there since. So I don't believe there is damage to the actual OLED screen, but who knows I'm no professional here!!
    Other than the annoying line the player seems to be working fine.. but like I said, its ANNOYING.
    I have tried a few things to fix it.. I've formatted it and rebooted it from Recovery Mode.. I've TRIED to update the firmware, but I can't seem to get the Firware Update to connect to my Microphoto. Windows, Windows Media Player, and Creative MediaSource Organizer reads it being there.. yet NOT the Firmware Update. Actually I THINK I got WIndows to update the Firmware for me or something because accorinding to my Microphoto it already has that version on there?
    If anyone has any suggestions, or heard of this happening PLEASE let me know. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I looked all over the place to find one, and when I finally did I'm having problems with it!
    Thanks!

    I am having the exact same problem with my Zen Microphoto. There is a vertical red line in the display. It appears to be pixel in width extending the height of the screen, top to bottom. EXTREMELY annoying!
    What is Creative's policy to fixing this?

  • Zen Microphoto: Screen dy

    I have a Zen microphoto and just in the last two days I have noticed a gradual blackening of my screen. It started with the left side being darker than the right - rather like the left side had "sunglasses" on or something and now the entire screen is so dark it can barekly be read. The player is playing fine, but I am almost unable to see anything on the screen. My contrast is up at 00% and I can barely read this unit. This is a problem for me as I can't select items and as I listen to a lot of books on MP3, I need the ability to see this so I can bookmark my books and not lose my place. I have had over a year of trouble-free play on this unit and simply love it. Has anyone heard of this problem before?ThanksCarrie

    I had the same problem. It wasn't dropped or handled wrong and without warning, one day the screen gets darker and darker and now I can't see anything. It still plays, still charges and the keypad still lights up. I was considering using one of the zen repair services like cherryfusion.com or zenrepair.com but the screen replacement alone would be around $60. With tax, shipping, etc factored in, I'm not sure it would be worth it. Perhaps going to eBay and buying a defecti've model with a good screen and replacing mine? Hopefully there's an easier fix.

  • Is Zen Microphoto 8GB compatible with Windows Vis

    Hello,
    My Zen microphoto was working fine until yesterday. I got a firmware error msg so I downloaded the latest firmware for microphoto (.3.0) and uploaded it using my bf's laptop (he's still got XP and media player 0). It uploaded successfully, but I'm still getting that error msg. Am I missing something?
    I may have a defecti've unit and I have a warranty on it that allows me to replace it for another one, but I'm just like to know if this is a compatibility issue vs. a bum player issue before I do so.
    Thanks for the help!
    Callie

    Anyone else having problems with Zen Microphoto and Vista? Would appreciate some help or advice whether or not Microphoto and Vista are compatable.
    Thank you.

  • Zen Microphoto FM Radio Freezes U

    I purchased a Zen Microphoto 8GB last month. Everything seems to work ok except for the FM Radio feature. Anytime I try to scan stations, whether automatically or manually, the unit will freeze and I have to remove the battery to reset it. I have already tried the Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware, & Reboot options in that order and nothing has worked. The FM Radio still freezes the unit when I try to scan through stations. Any help regarding this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    I have a 8gb zen microphoto and the same thing happened to me. The first time I tried to use the radio and find a station it froze up on me. I removed the battery and that seemed to solve it. I have not tried since. I do not use the radio much but would like to be able if I wanted too. Thanks so much for these forums. I am a idjit when dealing with computers and electonics and have learned just from reading the message threads.

  • (Zen MicroPhoto)FM Radio suddenly die

    first than all,.. Sry for my english.
    3 weeks ago I brought a Zen MicroPhoto..
    The first week, all works perfect.
    the second week, when I turn on the Zen, the radio won't work anymore =/ (I can't ear anything).
    So.. the question is.. Why my Zen don't play radio anymore?(I don't upgrade nothing, all is just like before when I listened radio D=).
    To all people who say "I brought one mp3 player, not a radio", Yeah.. I could brought one Ipod for less money and same characteristic ?.
    well.. Anyone had the same problem and fixed it ?
    thx.
