Problems with Nomad Jukebox Zen and Mediasource - Please he

Hi,
I own a Nomad Jukebox Zen NX, and I'm having problems with Creative Mediasource seeing the device. Everything has been working fine for a while; I have been able to upload songs from my Zen to my PC and download songs from my PC to my Zen. However, when I tried plugging in my Zen today, the computer did the normal "boop-beep" signaling that the device had been plugged in. However, when I went into Creative Mediasource to download some songs to my Zen, the Zen did not come up under the "Sources" menu, on the upper left, where it usually does.
I exited Mediasource went into "My Computer" on my desktop and, sure enough, the Zen was there under "Audio Devices," and when I double clicked on the icon, it brought showed all of the music files I have on my Zen. This shows that my computer does indeed see the Zen, but Mediasource doesn't?
Any ideas?
All help is very much appreciated,
Jason

Your MediaSource plugin of the MP3 player may have been uninstalled. Here is what you should do:
<FONT face=Helv size=2>
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.

  • Re: Help with Nomad Jukebox 3 and Creative Softw

    Okay I need help with the following...(bare with me!)
    First, I have a Nomad Jukebox 3. I record shows with it at concerts that allow me to record via the optical input. I currently use Creative Media Source but I don't have the pluggins to "Burn CD". I am wondering how I can go about getting these?
    Currently I can not burn these "line recordings" onto CD, and when I right click on the line recording in the Creative Media Source to find the file name there is no Properties icon that I can go to, to see the file name so I can just do a search in my computer to pull these up in my current CD burning software.
    Also, "the line recording" is one big file. What program/software do I use to splice up the individual tracks so that it won't be one long "line recording"?
    Now when I bring my music from CD or my computer to my Nomad, I've been using Creative Play Center. Do I have to use this all the time or can I use Creative Media Source? I'd rather use one or the other and not have both to deal with... I don't see any icon of my Nomad Jukebox 3 on the Media Source but there is one on the Creative Play Center.
    Okay now one more thing just to inform you that from my Creative Play Center I am converting a concert that I downloaded and it's currently in wav format. I am converting it to MP3. Now when I do that in the Play Center window it now shows me the wav and MP3 format for each individual song. That's cool that it doesn't completely erase the wav format, however when I want to download each song in MP3 format I have to go to each individual MP3 which is fine but everytime the Transfer Options Box opens which asks me the Title, Artist and Genre each time.
    Is there a way that I can just fill out the information once, so I don't have to do that for each MP3?
    Thank you for helping me understand the Creative software and helping me know what I can and can't do!

    I found the CD burning module for MediaSource hidden in the download for the Audigy soundcards, at least in the European downloads area. Take a look and if you can't find I'll have another look for it.
    To edit the file you need a WAV editor. I'm guessing Creative might bundle something with their soundcards, or you can look on the Internet and take your pick from the cheap to the mega expensi've. Audacity might do it, and it's free http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ so worth checking.
    MediaSource is the replacement for PlayCentre, but I think it just comes down to which you prefer (but they are very very similar). Note that you have to download the Nomad pack for MediaSource to get it to work with MediaSource.
    When you transfer your converted MP3 to the player it's asking you for tag data, which is vital for the Music Library on the player. You can of course edit this tag information either in MediaSource direct, or probably more optimally in a dedicated tagging program.

  • Problems with the alt key and numbers, please help major issue

    All of a sudden I am unable to use the alt key with any numbers, meaning I can't create hashes (alt 3) and bullets (alt 8), and others that I haven't missed yet. I've tried two keyboards, one wireless and one wired but to no avail. It seems to work fine for everything except 3 through 9.
    I found somebody with the same issue beforehand:
    *I have finally tracked the problem down to a problem preference file, namely this one:*
    com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
    *I have no idea what it's supposed to do, but it wasn't doing it right.*
    But even still, it made no sense to me, can anybody help me? This is an issue that's been disrupting everything I do on my Mac for a few days now, and not found the issue as yet.

    Feel a bit silly now! Just sorted it myself, had a look around my hard drive, and deleted the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file, and restarted, when I started up and tested it my ¡€#¢∞§¶•ªº keyboard alt tab seemed to work!
    For future reference, just do this and restart afterwards:
    [YourHardDrive]>>Users>>[YourUserName]>>>Library>>>Preferences>>>com.apple.symbo lichotkeys.plist>>>Delete that>>>Restart your Mac and you've fixed it.
    Cheers anyway!

  • 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.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60 GB can't be found through Mediasource Organizer

    I have been using the Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra HDD Player since a few years and I have always been satisfied. But recently, I had a massi've computer problem, forcing me to do a complete re-install of Windows XP, without the chance to backup my old XP.
    So of course I also needed to reinstall the Nomad Player. However, since I can't find the CD-Rom with the driver, I had to download (almost) everything.
    At first I installed the drivers of the player and then I installed the Nomad Explorer (I still had that one on an old HDD). When I start the Nomad Explorer, the player connects and I can see the music that is stored on the player.
    However, in the past I never used the Nomad Explorer, I always used Media Source Organizer. I think in the past I had Version 3 and later I updated it to Version 5. So now I went for Version instantly. I downloaded it and installed it. But here it starts to get strange. I closed the Nomad Explorer and disconnected the player, then I installed the Organizer. During the installation, I was told that the organizer can't find any supported devices, I should connect and start the player and try again. So I did. This time, the installation finished itself - but when I startet Media Organizer, it couldn't find my player.
    I once read something like that you need at least Windows Media Player 0 or . Since I had 9, I installed 0, but that didn't change a thing.
    So, does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong ? Or maybe I forgot to install some normal Windows stuff, that is required by Media Organizer ? For example, I haven't installed DirectX yet (but I tell you that just as an example, I don't think that it's DirectX related)

  • Nomad jukebox zen xtra driver for use with Vista 32 b

    Hi,
    I just registered in an attempt to find a solution to using my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra player with Windows Vista 32 bit operating system. Unfortunately, my old computer died and all was lost so when I purchased a new computer I naturally went with the most recent operating system, it never occured to me that my wonderful MP3 player would be considered obsolete (my various printers are all much older than my mp3 player and they all work just fine, my multiple?digital cameras too) anyway, I am running around in circles and I would not consider myself highly technical. I cannot download the latest creative firmware because without a driver my device is not recognized, and thus, creative will not complete the download since my device is not recognized...... when I go to microsoft to look for "nati've drivers" as suggested by Creative somewhere in the maze I have been stumbling through, the link I found in a search on Microsoft's website sends me to a creative labs link that...interestingly....no longer exists.... I sent an email to customer support, but they happily sent me a form letter stating that my warranty is out of date so they have no assistance to offer unless I pay for a half hour of their time in advance, and I find it odd that I should pay money to risk being told that they have chosen not to support this device, because if I pay money to hear that I will immediately hate this company, and I don't want to throw in the towel just yet, anyway, another option stated in the form letter was to use this forum, so I am trying really hard to state the circumstances of my dilemma in a fair and open way. It seems to me that with all the energy that was put into that form letter, they could have written a letter that would address this issue directly as I cannot fathome that I am the only one with this problem. So, per the suggestion of the form letter, I am here to ask if anyone knows of a solution to making a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra work with Windows Vista 32 bit operating system.....if there is none, then at least I will hear about it without paying Creative money to tell me so. If I should post my request to a different thread/topic area?on the forum, that information would be greatly appreciated too as I have never used a forum before and alot of the information on this site is more technical than I am used to. Thank you to anyone that can offer some guidance or a clear solution. Signed by a baffled Creative customer....Dani

    Try reading this thread. I had the same problem and the solution worked for me. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...a&message.id=7?

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen NX and WMP

    As many other devices and users, I have problem after upgrading to WMP. Whenever I connect my trusty Nomad Jukebox Zen NX (30GB) I get message saying "your device is using an outdated driver that is no longer supported by windows media player". I have latest fw and drivers so that is not an issue. By checking Creative pages it seems as they won't be creating new drivers for this device meaning I'm stuck.
    I don't use Creative tools to rip and feed player because I lost CD few years ago and since I reinstalled Windows. I was not able to get software from support then so I decided to stick to WMP. Now, MS doesn't won't to support it as it seems.
    Are there any alternati'ves or suggestions?

    What I did was to uninstall WMP, rescan library to add new albums that were originally scanned with WMP and that did the trick as I was rolled back to WMP0. I would however wish to have working solution with WMP.

  • Problem starting up my Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen X

    Ok well I have a 40GB Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, and have had it for about a year. Now earlier today i was attempting to connect it to my computer to copy songs onto it. The battery ran out and i was not able to do this.
    When turning my player back on, it got stuck on the loading screen that says EAX and did not move from this. When it is on this screen, i can't turn it off.
    I let the battery run out to see if it would start when i then charged it, yet the same happened, and it turns on as soon as i put in the charger it is again stuck on this one loading screen.
    I have pressed reset as well, and this makes no difference, it just loads up to the same screen and doesn't move. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!Message Edited by mattyb23 on 09-25-2005 06:23 PM

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Firmware Update Issue

    My player does not get recognized after attempting to update firmware (ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe) according to website instructions.
    When turned on the player displays "Firmware Problem" for a fraction of a second, then it goes into Rescue Mode v., Boot v.4, HW v0.0., 4 items in the menu ( Clean Up; 2 Format All; 3 Reload OS; 4 Reboot)
    This is my setup:

    Please advise, thanks in advance,

    Problem solved!
    I did not follow the link you provided, thanks for the suggestion anyway. I read in another post that you advised to disable the device in Device Manager, although I took a different route. This is what I did after enabling Mediasource DETECTOR
    . Completely uninstall Windows Media Player , revert to WMP 0, inlcuding the Runtime
    2. Reboot the PC
    2. Once rebooted connect the player to the PC
    3. right click MY COMPUTER->MANAGE->DEVICE MANAGER
    4. Under Windows Portable Devices right click NOMAD JUKEBOX ZEN XTRA, then select Update Drivers
    5. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers" to select the driver, OK all the windows
    6. Run ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe with the player connected
    7. I was prompted if I wanted to replace the Firmware with the same version (2.0.03) I said yes... within seconds the player came back to normal.
    I hope that the above can help people in my same situation. The culprit seems to be WMP and all the hidden software installed with it. Freakin Microsoft!
    Final question. Now that the firmware has been updated, am I safe by installing WMP ?
    Thanks!

  • No driver found - Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - WinXP

    I have used my Zen Xtra for over 2 years now, with the same PC I am currently having problems with. I recently had to do a complete reinstall of Windows (note that I have done at least 2 other complete reinstalls during the life of my Zen Xtra, with no problems). Windows Device Managers sees the NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, but with the yellow question mark and exclamation point. Each attempt at driver installation results in the same problem. The driver ("JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE") installs completely, I'm told to reconnect my device so the driver can take effect. When I do, the device is still marked in Device Manager with exclamation point and yellow question mark, and Windows continues to ask if it can find and install the driver. I have told it not to (knowing that I just installed Creative's own driver), with no success, and other times let Windows try to install the driver (hoping it would find the Creative driver that was just installed). No luck. I have even done another complete reinstall of Windows, and tried to install the driver before any other program or hardware installations into my system. No luck. Note that there are no hardware changes between now and when I have done other complete Windows reinstallations. It just no longer accepts the Creative driver. I have also tried to install the driver in safe mode, with the same results. I have also completely removed the Zen Xtra (showing hidden devices in the Device Manager), and tried to reinstall. Firmware version of Zen Xtra was upgraded over a year ago to 2.0.03.
    Specifics:
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    38GB free hard dri've space
    Zen Xtra firmware version: 2.0.03

    I have the same problem. But when i try to installl it it says he is missing an .nfo file.
    I removed WMP and reinstalled WM0 because is crap.
    I have Windows XP SP2
    I have the newst firmware on it.
    Can somebody help me with this because it's annoying not to put any new music on your mp3 player.
    I never experienced this before even after formatting my HD.
    Almost the same problem as fritzm but not completely because het gets an different error.
    I have installed the CD but that doesnt work either.
    I have installed the software from the website but that didnt help because he doesnt recognize my player.
    Please help!!
