Zen MicroPhoto Won't Sync Mu

My MicroPhoto freezes up everytime I try and sync music. I always get a message that says, "The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request." Can anybody help? Thanks in advance

Using the newest version of winamp (www.winamp.com) i've gotten it to work
dl it, install it, and then go to the music library and scroll down the left panel, my zen showed up and had all sorts of options and Sync was on there and i clicked it and it started to do stuff

  • Zen Microphoto won't sync anymore, but is recogni

    Firstly let me say my Zen Microphoto has been syncing and working fine right up until now.
    I have XP MCE SP2 installed...
    But I am thinking perhaps the problem it won't sync is because I upgraded from Windows Media Player 0 to just today?
    What happens is it plugs in, and charges. A couple of times the MTP device box pops up asking me what I want to do and I double click on sync with Media Player. However then it goes away and nothing happens, and Media Player cannot detect it -- but nor can Microphoto Media Explorer, so perhaps it is not a problem with Media Player?
    I have searched around the forum and the only solution available is to delete the USB devices in Device Manager, reboot and let them reinstall, but I really don't want to do that, I don't know if anything will stuff up or not -- I have resetted the player and performed a scan disc, and it seems fine.
    Thanks for any help guys
    EDIT: When trying to reinstall the driver (with Creative cd in dri've) I now get this message: "A service installation section in this INF is invalid" and it says my hardware may not work properly. Nothing has changed except now I have an exclamation mark on my Creative Zen Microphoto icon in Device Manager and I can't properly install the driver, with the proper cd! This is extremely frustrating!
    Also, I have downloaded those three updates I've seen Mods list here a couple times for people with the same problemMessage Edited by psycho_orange0 on 05-8-2006 07:33 AM

    Hi,
    I can't answer conclusi'vely, but in general I'd agree with your observations.
    My brother purchased a Zen Microphoto A while ago with a Wall-wart to USB Charger (generic, labeled for Ipod), this didn't charge it. If it was plugged into a powered hub with the PC off, it still wouldn't work. It would only charge if the PC was on ( suppose the PC was telling the Zen 'it's OK you can charge now' ?) I then got him a genuine Creative Charger from Ebay and it's been fine. I got the wife and my daughter Zen's for Xmas( a Micro photo and a Zen V+) and got a couple of Creative Chargers too, and all's ok with them.
    I think your probably right, there's either an internal resistance or voltage on one of the other pins, If I get time I'll take one of the chargers apart (when they're not looking ).
    Sorry I couldn't be more help and Welcome to the Forum.

  • ZEN MICRO WON'T SYNC CONTACTS NOW .....

    My Zen Micro won't sync contacts from Outlook Li've now (when it did before) .... get an error message:
    "CTSync
    X Unspecified error"
    I'm using Outlook Li've (2003) that is linked to my hotmail e-mail; like I said, everything sync'ed fine before!
    I've tried all the new downloads, etc.
    I've also formatted the player several times.
    I can still syn music, tasks, and calendar.
    How do I resolve this issue ... no one from Creative Labs has been able to provide any assistance with the issue(s).

    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!

  • To Everyone Whos Zen MicroPhoto Won't connect to their pc,I have Your Solut

    To Get Your Computer To Recognize Your Zen MicroPhoto you need to just reinstall your current version of windows media player because it has all of the drivers for mp3 players. This worked for me and should work for everyone else. This won't erase your current library of songs. Once you have it reinstalled your library will be how it was before. Your Welcome once this works.

    Well, that doesn't help. I uninstalled every Creative thing--the driver, MediaSource, etc--restarted the computer and installed the .30.03 version;? no joy, same symptoms. I uninstalled that, restarted? my machine and installed the .20.04c version driver, which seems to be the latest WHCL certified one. No change.
    I strongly suspect the firmware now. I'm tempted to "Reload OS" diag option, but if the drivers don't work, I'll be stuck with a completely useless device.

  • Zen MicroPhoto Won't Turn

    I was at the gym this morning and my Zen player died. It was at least half way charged yesterday morning. And I've only had it for about a month. It's never been dropped or gotten wet. When I plug it into my computer to see if it will charge it won't even reconize it's pluged in. Has anyone had this problem before?

    Nope there is no power what so ever to the player. When it died thought the player was still lite. It just wasn't playing anything. As for a wall charger I don't have one. So I have no way of trying that.

  • My Zen MicroPhoto frequently stops synci

    It will get through sometimes 5 songs, and sometimes it won't even get through one, but when WMP is syncing, it will slow down, then just freeze and stop.

    Have you install these 2 hotfix before? If not, you give them a try.

  • 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?

  • Creative Zen Microphoto 8GB hangs

    Hello,
    I have seen a lot of posts on the same subject here, but have not seen any resolution yet.
    I am sure the story sounds familiar... hangs at "Creative" logo, I go into recovery mode, and run scan disk or format etc... They don't work. I have even left the player on "formatting" overnight until the battery drains and it never finishes, same goes for "Scanning".
    I am on my 4th player now and am having the same issue again. This time the player is now out of warranty so I can't return it, and I am not paying money out of my own pocket to get this thing fixed. Please don't tell me this product is defecti've... I don't buy that excuse. And it isn't a corrupt file, because a reformat would fix that.
    Once it hangs, my computer won't recognize it, so I can't even try to update the firmware or anything.
    Any new updates or information on this issue? It is obviously a well documented problem...just google "Creative zen freezes" and see how any hits you get!
    I am pretty disappointed with this player. I should have followed my gut instinct in the first place, and just bought an iPod. I spent a lot of money on this paper weight. Any help,advice,prayers,or donation$ (for a new iPod) would ge greatly appreciated!

    Right you will need to download the latest firmware from this site.
    Here is a hyperlink to where you can download the firmware:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...lect=4&x=9&y=2
    You might have to put some details in.
    Once you have downloaded the latest firmware just start the program up.
    Plug in your Zen into the PC and then press the "Reload Firmware" button on your Zen.
    You should see your computer screen pick it up.
    Then you click on your PC to install firmware.
    That should be it.
    I hope this hel

    Got any questions you have just post on this space.
    I do apologise if this does not make much sence my grammer is not that brilliant.

    I just had a Pioneer deck installed in my car to replace the factory unit. It has a USB connection, but when I connected my player to it, I got a message saying that it would not work. There is an accessory input on the face of the unit; how do I use that with my MP3 player?
    to use the player with the usb port you will need to add music files to the removable disc area of the player & when you connect the player to the stereo it must be in removable disk mode for the car stereo to read the files. If the car has a AUX input on the front you can buy a cord like this one? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...duct_id=820445 connect it using the headphone jack on the player. The removable disc mode gives the better sound quality. Can you post a link for your model car stereo?

  • Creative Zen MicroPhoto Error (8

    Hi,
    I'm from the UK but purchase a Zen MicroPhoto from the USA brand new. I've had it around 3 weeks and its been great but the other day when i went to turn it on the screen froze and it wouldn't boot up the the menu like usual. It is the Creative logo screen in white on the black background, the one with the copyright information.
    Anyway i've had it in revocery mode and nothing but the reboot option works but of course it just boots to the same situation except that its just Creative white on black logo with no copyright info. Then freezes at that point. Of course it won't install the new firmware i have as it won't recognize it on the computer because it hasn't booted properly..
    Clean up - Freezes and never completes
    Reboot Firmware - Freezes.
    Formate - Freezes
    Reboot- Freezes after attempt.
    I've read through a few topics and seen similar things but is there a solution or is my Mp3 player faulty? It seems the optins to sort this out they give you are as good as a chocolate fireguard.
    Will i have to send it back to get it sorted and will Creti've UK take it's
    Thanks......

    If it was something the player could recover from (ie just an error), then the options in Recovery Mode should have done that. It unfortunately sounds like it's faulty.
    Contact Customer Support (for the UK), I'm sure they will be able to assist you.

  • 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.
