D.A.P. Jukebox Model No. DAP6G02 R.I.P.???

Hi everybody.
Today is time to back to the past, lol.
I have this model and Im very surprise because I cant turn it on. I connect the AC adaptor, push "play" button to turn it on and theres no signal. I only hear a low beep when I push the button and in 30 seconds more or less dissapear this beep. Even the screen does no light. Trying with AA bateries and the same problem.
What do you think? Is there any possibility to open the D.A.P. and check some component? Any idea or solution?
In Creative website, when I try to identify it appears a message "this product is listed as end of lifetime"... REALLY???? So, they know that this would happen...
Thanks in advance, people.

Hi Felimanikus,
Welcome to the Forums!
The NOMAD Jukebox was launched sometime in 2000, making it almost 15 years since it was launched.
As with any electronic devices, LCDs and inner components are susceptible to wear and corrosion due to humidity and temperature. Thus they generally have lifespan lasting a couple years, if not more or less. What I'm saying here is that there has to be a realistic level of understanding as to how long such a device can last, whether it's been put to regular use or having a sudden jolt after being dormant for years.
You may wish to check that the batteries are inserted correctly according to the polarities indicated on the NOMAD Jukebox. If you are using batteries, ensure they are new or charged (for rechargeable NiMH batteries).
Regards,
Colin-CL

I have exactly the same problem, I have the DAP jukebox (6 G) and I use the Creative PlayCenter 2 software to transfer mp3 files to the jukebox (there is no other way of doing it). I use Windows XP now and when I open the program it says that I need to upgrade it to version 2.50 and that the update can be downloaded from the creative site but i just can't find it ANYWHERE!! I have already sent an e-mail to the support people and tried to contact them by phone but they are on holidays. Anybody can help us with this?
Thanks in advanced.

Old MP3 Pla

I just found one of my old MP3 Player, a Nomad Jukebox Model # DAP6G0. Unfortunately none of the software I have downloaded has allowed me to view it on my computer or in Playcenter2 (oldest version I could find). Any ideas on what I should do?

Jukebox Zen NX (30 gig model) inopera

The mp3 player I bought around 2 months ago is no longer working. The LCD screen won't display any letters or characters. Not even a little black line. The lights still work that illuminate the screen but nothing appears. Hoping for a certified repairer here in Melbourne (I sent an email off to support). I tried resetting the product several times to no joy. I'm navigating the menus off feel and guesswork and it's pretty annoying seeing as there's so much to go through.
Switch it on - Music Library - scroll down 3 clicks - trial and error to get the song I want.
any help would be appreciated,
thanks,
Nx05

Sounds like the LCD has failed, so you'll have to get it repaired by Creative.

Nomad Jukebox Zen - Model 40DAP - HD0007

Can you please advise me if there is a driver for my product that would allow me to use "Windows Media Player" to download music to it's
Are you able to attach the download to the email reply.
If there is not a driver for "Windows Media Player" can you please direct me to the latest driver for Creative Play Centre and again can it be attached to your email reply?
Thanks for your help.

Is your device a large round roughly portable CD player shaped?
Is it a rectangular device, with a LCD scren? if so then:
is the scroll wheel at the very top on the right hand side?
is the scroll wheel inbetween the buttons on the right hand side?
Is there a small LCD monochrome screen with a? green backlight?
is there a larger LCD monochrome screen with a blue backlight?
Does it have a touch scroll strip,and an OK button at the top of this strip, with a black and white ( monochrome)? blue backlit screen?

DAP6G02 Drivers for

Hi, my sister has a DAP6G02 Creative Jukebox MP3 player which was bought secondhand with no discs. I went to the support area on Creative's website and searched for drivers under this model number and it returned nothing. Somebody said that I needed Nomad Jukebox 2 drivers for it so I downloaded these, installed them and plugged in the device. It is detected by Windows (XP Pro) and is seen as a 'USB Device'. It then searches for drivers and finds none. So I try pointing it in the right direction by making it search the Windows/System folders and also the Creative folders in the Program Files, but still none found, and just shows up the Device Manager as an unknown USB Device with a question mark. I have tried this several times, in several USB ports and now on my own PC (also XP Pro) and still the same story. This leads me to believe that i am using incorrect drivers for this hardware. The drivers I am using are the ones brought up when choosing MP3 Players->Zen/Hard Disc Players->Nomad Jukebox 2->Windows XP and they are the ones updated Dec 04. Can someone point me in the right direction? Am i using the wrong drivers or even searching for the wrong thing?
Thanks for any help,
Ian Thomason

It is a Nomad, just that in Europe the players aren't prefixed with "Nomad".
The DAP Jukebox is called the Nomad Jukebox in the USA (and elsewhere).
You should be able to find all you need by selecting Nomad Jukebox from the player list at Nomadworld.com downloads.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra stops working with XP following Windows Media Player 11 Beta Installat

Yesterday I was very pleased to find that my Creative Zen Xtra (model DAP-HD00) portable media player is a PlaysForSure capable device. Creative Labs, on November 9, 2005, released the Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware v2.0.03. I installed this firmware (I had to install the Creative ZenJukebox Driver v.30.03 first to get Windows to recognize the device). Once the firmware was upgraded, Windows began recognizing the Zen Xtra as a MTP device and life was good. I was able to synchronize it with both Napster To Go and Windows Media Player 0.
After this, I went ahead and installed Windows Media Player Beta, which I just downloaded yesterday as well.
From a functional standpoint, WMP seems to run just fine. However, when I connected the Creative Zen Xtra (with its PlaysForSure firmware), Windows redetected the hardware. It first showed "Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra" in the tooltip, followed by "MTP Device" in the new hardware tooltip. Finally, Windows announced that there was a problem installing my new hardware and that it may not work properly.
Sure enough, when I went into Device Manager, my Zen Xtra was showing as an MTP Device with an exclamation point on it. More specifically, it specified the status of, "This device cannot start (Code 0)."
Prior to the installation of Windows Media Player, the Creative Zen Xtra showed in device manager with the following characteristics under the heading "Windows Portable Devices":
Name: NOMAD Jukebox Zen XtraDriver Version: 5.2.0.0 dated 8/30/2004Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.3802.3802 built by dnsrv(bld4act)
Windows Media Player changed this to the following (the device now shows up under "Portable Devices"):
Name: MTP DeviceDriver Version: 5.2.5326.4762 dated 2/22/2006Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.5358.4827 (WMP_.060509-2009)C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys - v6.0.5348.0(winmain(wmbla).0604-339)
The file wudfrd.sys is NOT digitally signed in this case.
As of now, my Zen Xtra is completely unusable on this system, and I need to sync it with my laptop for the time being, which still has WMP 0 installed on it.
Is this a bug with WMP beta? Is it a problem with my firmware? Since this is PlaysForSure compliant firmware, and it worked flawlessly with Napster and WMP 0 (before the MTP driver was updated), it would seem to be a WMP beta issue. I'd like to hear more official confirmation on the subject, however.
Some general details about my system are:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2Verified GENUINE Microsoft operating system using Genuine Advantage ValidationIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, Hyper-Threaded processor2.00 GB RAM
Windows Media Player Version: .0.5358.4827Napster Version: 3.6.0.7 (US)
Any recommendations? Fixes? Some have suggested rolling back the WMP installation, but I would like to consider this option only as an absolute last resort.
Best regards,Matt

Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
Thanks.

Zen Xtra Nomad Jukebox suddenly not recognized by Windows XP Netbook

I'm desperately struggling to get my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad Jukebox MP3 player (version .03.02) to be recognized by my computer. (My background is I'm about 4 hours south of my home, temporarily helping my exwife who is slowly dyiing of cancer... [URL"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA67hNO3H4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA67hNO3H4[/url] I have two laptops with me, one with XP (and the other rarely used here with Vista.) My main computer, a Dell Desktop running XP, is back at home with most everything else as I live out of a suitcase and do the best I can.... 'nuf said for my situation)
About 3 weeks ago, I hooked my Creative mp3 player up to my MSI netbook, (windows xp and recently updated with all microsoft updates) and noted that the MP3 player was not being recognized by the computer. When plugged into the USB, my computer gave a 'chirp' and would look for hardware for the player, but ultimately it couldn't find it. The DEVICE page of the SYSTEM menu had the Jukebox listed with the nefarious yellow question mark. Though I don't have a CD drive on this computer, I had a portable drive with most of my software with previousl loaded software archived there, including the installation disc for my MP3 player; but none of the drivers or software that I loaded would make a difference. I download all sorts of drivers & firmware updates from the CREATIVE web site, nothing changed. I would remove all the creative software, reload, reload software, hook up the MP3 player, and.... it would recognize the Nomad player but have no way to incorporate drivers for it's use. Even as I directed it to the original 'CD' copied onto my netbook's desktop, my Windows XP with service pack 3 just couldn't do more than let me know that it couldn't quite recognize the player other than identifying what it was.. I could uninstall the device, the drivers; all to no avail.
My incorrect guess at the time was that something internal to the mp3 player was broken and though I was lucky that it still worked as a player without any issues, I just had no way to access the 30Gb of books & lectures. Nor would the Creative Media Source work with it, as it felt that the player was not even hooked up to the computer. So,I bought a new 'used' identical model on ebay, except that the seller had upgraded the firmware and the harddrive. Once I got the new player, it's too, would not be recognized by my MSI netbook. (though it works on the laptop I have running vista).
Last week I gratefully went home for one day to check my mail and attend to a few matters, and upon hooking my original MP3 player to my main desktop, my original MP3 player immedately docked to my computer and was working as it always had?
Now, atleast, I knew the MP3. player was working and functionally intact, and the challenge was completely computer software issues on my netbook, possibly due to some service pack upgrade or the sort.
I've spent several hours, reviewing all sorts of fixes and maneuvers; from blogs and tech support pages, though none made any difference as I changed various settings or softwares on my netbook. I saw lots about Vista not supporting my old firmware (which isn't an issue as my Netbook is XP.. I also saw that Windows Media player might have been the problem, and reverted to WMP 9, then to 0, though stlll no change.
I have never turned to a tech support board before, but I'm very much in need of assistance right now. Please, if you think you can guide me, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply. I sure wish I had a better understanding of this. I will request one more piece of invaluable knowledge from you! My old zen & windows xp computer hum in awesome performance again. Unfortunately, since I thought my old zen was broken, I'm now with this new beast, with the updated firmware 2.0.03. From what I previously read on Boards and Forum pages, this device shouldn't be connected to my XP computer while I'm still using my OLD zen with old firmware. As you mention in the above note, I connect this 'new' Zen to my Vista computer, & it immedately goes into docking mode. I tried loading the newest firmware available for my device (though it doesn't list vista as compatable), and of course, when the mediasource version 3.30.2 loads, it doesn't have a clue that my zen is connected. Only WMP version seems to pay attention, which may not be that bad. But once I was up & running in WMP, I couldn''t seem to create playlists and or even clearly get it to load the Audio Lectures that I have onto it. So, Wise, All Knowing CREATIVE Wizard, any suggestions what I do? Delete WMP? I will hope never to bother you again, once this is solved!!!
But I am tremendously grateful for the assistance. I only spent about an hour in WMP accomplishing nothing, before I realized I should just turn to you, admit my defeat, and hope for insight and practical advice!!!!!
Thanks!!!

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - Windows sees it - Mediasource installation does not

HI, I have tried to recover from a failed HD and on the new installation - the jukebox is detected by windows. This I know in the "Device Manager" where I can see the "nomad juke box" with a yellow sign on it. But when I go to install the Mediasource application - it says "failed to detect a device" retry/abort (ouch). I have tried the following options
Moved the cable to a different USB port (not connected via hub anymore)(but windows was seeing the device).
Then I thought maybe an older model of the mediasource will work - nope.
Then I tried installing? NomadSync (source forge) installs fine - but I do not know how to work it
Then I tried installing Nomad Explorer - no go without media source.
Ok this player is fine - works fine - the version of firmware is .20.08 (I think). It was in the car for about one year
Other Ideas : use Red Chair software - then install Mediasource on top of that
Any ideas welcome.

Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
Thanks.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra as Mass Storage Device?

I found an old Nomad Jukebox in my closet and seeing as its pretty obsolete im wondering if there are any firmwares that will allow this to function as a plain usb dri've instead of only being able to sync with specific software.

Probably Windows 7 more than anything else, but the main reason i would like it to behave like a mass storage device is so i can plug it into my car stereo via usb and play music from it. Sure, i could use the auxillary plug, but i find it easier to navigate to a song using my headunit's controls than the Jukebox's.
Well since that is how you want to use it you could always remove the hardri've format it & use it in a portable hardri've enclosure.Your car stereo does it read an MTP device? What make & model is your car stereo? Do you have access to a XP/Service 2/WMP0 computer?

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB not playing correctly anymore, help!!

Thanks. I keep getting directed to that knowledge base page, but it is not addressing my problem. My computer immediately tells me that the device has "malfunctioned" and the computer does not recognize it. I only have the usb cord that came with the zen, so I don't have another one to try. I love my zen and have staunchly defended it over the years vs. an i-pod. However, this is my 2nd onI've had my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB for over 5+ years. It has worked great, with minimal problems. I had a firmware update issue quite a while back. I'm not sure how to resolve this problem. Here is the situation:
Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB is fully charged and ready to use.
I tried loading a set playlist but it won't load. So I tried another, and it doesn't load. Not sure what to do, I go to the menu. This time I choose an artist/band. The music loads, but it doesn't play. I try again, then it starts to play. So I load a few other artists that way. It seems like I had a issue to work out later. Being away from my computer that was going to have to wait. After some time the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB started to start N stop diferent songs. A few times it froze while playing a song. Then would unfreeze to play another, then suddenly start playing the previous one. After about 0-5 minutes of this I decided I had enough. So I planned to empty the playlist, and turn it off. It took me atleast three attempts to empty the playlist and turn it off.
Are these problems fixable What are they hardware or software
Would an OS or firmware update fix these problems Is my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB hard dri've going Can I get a replacement Or do I need to buy a new player
Please help me get my player working. I really like this model, I'd hate to have to replace it.
in 5 years. (The first one fried itself, but fortunately was still under warrantly.) Sadly, I, too, am considering moving on. I onlyreceived generic help fromthe Creative SupportTeam (who ultimately told me my zen is "unrepairable" when their one-size-fits-all solutions didn't work).Since there seems to be an overwhelming # of people experiencing similar problems, maybe the time is right to make the change, especially since an iPod classic 60 GB (7th Generation) is quite affordable these days.

Formatting will erase all the files on the player,Cleanup scans the disc & corrects file system errors,broken links (from when you delete things)ect. but does NOT repair bad sectors,Reboot then rebuilds the file system. I'd do the Cleanup>Reboot first to see if that solves the problem.here you will find how to open the player to see what dri've is in there. You can then search Ebay or Google the model number to find another one.

Jukebox 3 starting from scratch (No installation CD/please help

Hey guys and gurlz! Here's my story:
A while back I bought the Jukebox 3 as a Christmas present for my little brother (he's the best) but nowadays he's moved onto better MP3's. My most recent MP3 was literally chewed by my BFF's dog so I decided to give the 'ol Jukebox a try.
I was eager to use it but my brother lost the INSTALLATION CD so I can't download whatever it is I need onto my laptop. I looked everywhere online but either I'm a total jerkoff?:smileytongue: or it's just too old for any site to carry the dowloadable contents? Please guide me, I'm not that technically savvy so your help would be of great appreciation, thanks
PS: Can you give me a list of what I need and where I can download/find it's Sorry but I'm such a klutz?:smileytongue:
Love,
Ashley ?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
1.67Ghz is the last model of the Powerbook. OS X Tiger, whose last release is 10.4.11, is a very stable release. However, I started finding newer software that required OS X 10.5 Leopard as a pre-requisite, so I upgraded not long ago. You can call 800-MY-APPLE and order a Leopard upgrade for $129, which is not available in Apple stores.
You should add more memory, for at least 1GB total or more, with max is 2GB (two 1GB cards). If you have one 512MB memory card, you could easily add a 1GB memory in the other slot. Crucial, Kingston (not their value ram line, though), and Samsung have all proven to run well in our Powerbooks. Note there were two 1.67Ghz models available ... yours uses DDR2 memory, and is not interchangeable with DDR memory (they have different slots in the memory board to prevent installing in the wrong place). Crucial you can order direct from at http://www.crucial.com . Kingston is at http://www.kingston.com , and Samsung is sold through distributors, one of which is http://www.macsales.com .
One thing to keep an eye on is your hard drive. A notebook hard drive is usually good for 3-5 years of use, then you start seeing failures. One program called SMARTReporter, keeps an eye on the SMART sensors, which can sometimes give you early warning of an impending failure. Or, if you wanted to swap the drive out for a new one, you could keep the existing one for backup purposes. Any 2.5" parallel ATA hard drive will work (serial ATA or SATA drives will not work). When I replaced my hard drive recently, I went with Seagate, as I've had good success with their drives over time. Western Digital and others make replacement drives, too. Two sources are http://www.newegg.com and http://www.macsales.com
Please post back with any other questions.

Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB - power probl

I've got a Jukebox Zen Xtra 60 GB and, having tried everything else, I'm fairly certain the power adapter has failed. I can't seem to find reference to the model I've got (Creative Switching Adapter TESA3-050500) so that I can get a replacement. Has this been superceded? And if so, which one do I need to get?

A quick search on Google came up with this, hope it hel
