Zen microphoto not charging through

I'm trying to charge my zen microphoto in a friends computer and it just won't charge. The signal is flashing the computer recognizes the device but the battery is still in /3 although there's been 6 hours since I plugged it...
note that I have a usb connection, that the computer is a laptop, I don't have the software installed, and I haven't updated the firmware...
what could be wrong?

For my Micro there is an option that you can set the player in Lock mode and then insert the usb cable to the pc which has not drivers installed to enable charging of the player. Try that out.
However, this is with an updated firmware to at least ..0 for my zen micro. Check with the microphoto firmware for more infoMessage Edited by microm3 on 08-02-2006 0:9 PM

IPad not charging through USB

Just got an iPad. When using USB cord to connect to computer, iPad charging indicator says "not charging". iTunes synchs fine. When I use wall outlet to charge all OK. Any ideas why not charging through ANY USB port on my laptop? Thank you,
Chris

Leave it plugged in after you complete the sync, let it go to sleep (lock) and the charging rate will increase and you'll get a charging indication.
The charger provided with your iPad can put out up to 2A of charging current. The best you're going to see from a USB port is somewhere around 500mA, that only from high-power ports and can be less depending on the computer. Seeing the "Not Charging" while syncing is perfectly normal.

ZEN NX Not Charging

ZEN NX Not Chargingp My player began having charging problems about one month ago. It would charge then I would play it for several hours (while connected to the AC charger) then it would just shut down. When restarted it would display "low battery" and turn off immediately. I bought a new battery which seemed to fix the problem for a week or two then the same condition began all over again. ?
I have removed and replaced the battery and verified there is still a charge in it. I have also tried resetting the player via the reset pin. I have also verified that the AC charger (original Creative unit) is producing specified charge. Nothing changes. ? Still get "low battery" indication. No other icons are visible on the screen.
I have also tried connecting player to a powered USB 2.0 port but that doesn't have any effect either. I'm not sure but believe this player is not set up to charge from USB but thought I'd try. ?
Knowledgebase didn't have any symtoms which are exact match with mine. Here's hoping someone has been through this before. TIA? John

Does the battery charging icon show when it's plugged in the wall charger? Where did you get the battery from? Is it a real Creative battery or a generic?

Creative Zen Microphoto Not Detec

Hello all,
I bought a Creative Zen Microphoto yesterday and when I try and plug it in to my USB port nothing happens. I've tried holding the on/off button, I've tried it when it's on. I've tried all of my USB Ports. I've tried it on two different computers.
My computers are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2. I've disabled Norton while trying all of the above. Before plugging my mp3 player in I installed all the software that come on the CD.
Just to clarify this:
The Microphoto won't charge, be detected, etc while in the USB port. It runs fine off my PC ( plays the pre-installed songs, etc ) but as I cannot plug it in to my PC to charge it, add, songs, etc I cannot add my own songs.
Windows doesn't even pop up saying new hardware has been detected, or a USB device has been detected. It just remains how it was before I plugged the device in to my PC.
My computer doesn't show it in removalable devices, nor in Windows Media Player 0.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.Message Edited by Kemik on 07-3-2006 05:3 AM

Try this, go into the Control Panel and click Add/Remove Hardware. Just click next and see if it detects newly added hardware.
Can your computer detect any old flash dri've?

New Zen MicroPhoto not seen by XP or Vi

I'm a total newbie to Creative MP3 players. Just got one yesterday from Electronica Direct via Amazon's store. Running Vista on an HP Pavilian dual core (just 3 months old so very new cutting edge hardware) and running XP on a 5 year old Sony Vaio laptop. Both have latest MS service paks and security fixes.
Also, I appear to be running latest Creative stuff since when I check for updates it reports it doesn't find any. The Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer reports v5.0.2 and:
Creative Import Wizard File (Version .0.25.0)
Creative Audio CD Ripper (Version 5.00.20)
Creative Sync Manager (Version 5.20.09)
Creative Playlist Wizard (Version 3..5.0)
PIM Editor (Version .3.0.0)
Creative Media Explorer reports on both PCs when Zen MicroPhoto plugged into USB:
"Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer."
I can play the music that comes with the Zen. I have used the supplied cable to plug into various USB ports on both PCs. Each time the Creative Media Explorer reports it doesn't see anything.
Under System info the MicroPhoto reports it is version .20.0.
If I unplug the USB plug from the MicroPhoto and then plug it in the MicroPhoto starts itself up. So does that mean it is seeing something electrically from the PC?
In both XP and Vista if I try to close the Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer clicking on the red X does not close it.
In the HP Vista Device Manager under Portable Devices I only see:
USB CF Reader
USB MS Reader
USB SD Reader
USB SM Reader
Right clicking and doing "Scan for hardware changes" does not help.
In the HP Vista Device Manager under "Uni'versal Serial Bus controllers" I see Intel chips, a USB Mass Storage Device and a bunch of USB Root Hub entries. No Creative device. Also, doing "Scan for hardware changes" does not help in this category either.
Similarly, I do not see the Zen MicroPhoto in the XP Vaio's Device Manager. The Vaio XP Device Manager does not show a "Portable Devices" entry in the main list.
Also, the Vaio's original USB ports are v.. If plug into one of them I can power up the MicroPhoto. The Vaio also has PCMCIA USB 2.0 extender ports and they appear not to provide enough power to start up the MicroPhoto. Does the MicroPhoto need USB 2.0?
I am open to suggestions for things to try...

Bump... I am having issues with duplicate tracks and allt he other crap that goes with mediasource...any help to get my explorer back would be appreciated.

My Shuffle 2g will not charge through USB on laptop or through wall adapter

Hi,
I cannot get iTunes or my pc to recognize my iPod, so it obviously won't charge. I tried charging through a wall outlet and that's not working either. I've tried turning it off for 5 seconds and then turning on just as i was directed in troubleshooting with no luck.
Can someone please help me? This is getting very frustrating and turning me off to Apple products.

Ran into this same issue last night with my daughter's shuffle. It worked fine yesterday afternoon, plugged it into the computer to charge, everything seemed normal (ie. orange to green charging light). Then she complained the iPod wouldn't play. Thought she locked it by accident, or had the volume turned down, but I messed with it and couldn't get it to work either. Tried to plug it back in, but now the PC won't reconize the device at all (not in Win Explorer or iTunes so reset utility won't help). Only thing different about my situation from what else I've read is that when I put the iPod in the dock, or charge from the wall, after 2 secs, the green light blinks once...then nothing. When I remove the iPod and turn it on, the orange light comes on but no sound, etc. I've tried docking to six different USB ports on two different computers and tried two different sync cables...no go.
If anyone has any suggestions other than trash the iPod, my daughter would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Zen Xtra not charging.

Anyone has this problem? The player works with the AC Adapter, but the battery does not charge at all. Thinking it's the battery, but is there a way to "test" to see if it's the battery for sure?
Thanks,
Chuong

Sorry....found this after posting
My battery refuses to charge, what can I do?
There can be a number of reasons for the battery not charging.
The first and easiest things to try are resetting the player (with the small reset switch) and running a disk cleanup from the Maintenance Menu. If there is any anomalous problem with the Zen hopefully this will solve it.
Make sure that the mains adapter is actually working. Remove the battery from the player (in those players which you can remove it) and connect the mains adapter. If the player powers up then the transformer is functioning correctly.
Failing this, connect the transformer to the wall socket, and the Zen to the transformer. Then turn the wall socket switch on and off several times. The power spike *might* jump the charging circuit. Failing this it might be that the battery has been left uncharged for sometime and therefore the charging circuit does not seem able to charge it. Follow the thread here to the Zen forums for advice on how to "jump start" the battery. Take note of the disclaimers. Also take note of the information above on how to care for your battery.

Iphone 3gs not charging through computer

my iphone 3gs is no longer charging when i plug it in to my computer. It makes the sound to say that it is plugged in but dose not charge. Instead it's battery drops. This has only started happening since i updated it to iso 6. it is not jailbroken.
Please help a.s.a.p
Thanks all
Matt

I do have this experience of electric shocks few days ago. My phone was not dropped before. While it is still charging using the USB cable through my notebook, i picked it up and touches the volumn button, i got a shock. Not sure whats wrong too.
Do you still get a shock if it is charging from the laptop when the laptop is not connect to power?

Zen micro not charg

Hi guys, I looked thru the FAQ and previous postings but can't seem to find anything on this problem. Anyways, I can't seem to get my zen micro to charge via the wall charger even though the battery is near dead, no bars. The micro just acts as if it isn't plugged in at all. I tried using a power strip to try to 'jump' start the battery as suggested as well as keeping the hold on when charging but nothing seems to work. I'm currently on a long trip without my usb connector so I can't try connecting to a computer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can try to get this thing charging? Thanks.Message Edited by ppong828 on 08-26-2005 03:23 AM

thx ssr for the suggestion. fortunately i'm living with someone who has a multimeter but unfortunately I'm not so great with this sort of electronical testing. I'm not exactly sure how to use one to test the usb end of the wall charger for the output voltage since the output end is so small but I couldn't get any reading. Also, I couldn't get a resistance on the input end so maybe that means that the wall charger may have shorted out. thx again for your help.

Help! iPad 'Not Charging' through AC charger

I have two iPad's, one first generation and one second generation. I also have an iLuv charger/dock which works fine. But when I try to charge them through an AC charger it says 'Not Charging'. I know they're old but help needed please!!

Hello geraldineoshea,
It sounds like you are getting the message "Not Charging" when using one specific charger. It sounds like the issue is not with your iPad since it is happening with two different iPads. I found an article that discusses this message:
Note:Some USB 2.0 ports and accessories do not provide enough power to charge iPad. When this occurs the message "Not Charging" appears in the status bar next to the battery icon.
The article also provides a table to show what adapter is compatible with your device. For the iPad models you have, you will need a 10W or 12W adapter. You can find the full article here:
iPad: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4060
If you are still having the problem after verifying you are using the correct adapter, there may be an issue with that specific adapter you are using. Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities!
Best,
Sheila M.

HT1459 not charging through computer or wall adapter

my brand new ipod touch won't charge through computer or wall adapter please help?????

When I connect my new 80G iPod to my computer, it
syncs, but it doesn't seem to be charging. The icon
is a steady green with a picture of a plug, but when
unplugged the battery is near empty. Shouldn't the
icon flash and show a lightening bolt when charging?
That's what it does when I charge from the wall.
Why isn't my charging through the computer?
Thanks.
Sheldon
I figured it out. I had the iPod plugged into a USB hub, but since it's an unpowered hub, the iPod won'charge through it. When I go directly to the computer, all is well.

Zen microphoto not work

i got my zen microphoto about 3 months ago and about 2 weeks ago it starting messing up. when i turn it on it will just say creative on the screen and thats all it will do. its like it freezes up.
anybody know what i should do?

Our Micro photo started doing the same exact thing. We eventually noticed that it will turn on, but only after the player has been frozen at the logo screen for 20 or 30 minutes. We also noticed that it will turn off and on within very readily (within 2-3 seconds) when it's been running for a while. Basically it won't turn on when it's "cold". Why would this be and any thoughts on how to fix it's
We have reinstalled the firmware. It didn't help.
