40gb Zen Xtra Showing 9663mb with nothing on

Hi everyone, I went to add songs to my Zen Xtra, and in MediaSource Organizer it says "Total memory: 383mb Free Memory: 9663mb". The player has NOTHING on it except for the firmware. It has nothing in the Music Library or Data Library.
If I need to reformat, could you tell me how to do so?
Thanks in advance,
syntax

u can try doing Clean-up from the recovery mode. just find the reset button(the manual it should say where it is) push it while holding the play button down. eventualy it will give you a menu of choices to choose from.

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 30gb compatible with xbox36

Hi, it is said on the xbox.xom website that zen xtra are supported on xbox360, but when i plug it in my xbox i get nothing, the xbox does not detect my player. Do I need a special firmware like they say or my player is simply not compatible at all?
I have firmware .20.08 (the file name), when in the player and select ABOUT, it gives me "version .03.02" ...
thanks for helping me

DM is correct, you would need to load the MTP firmware if you want to use the player directly with your Xbox360, otherwise it will not be recognised.
DM wrote:It might require some update, but people on the Xbox forums dont even know how to connect it. It seems that only those players with the PlaysForSure/MTP firmware work.
It requires MTP, but getting it working then is very easy. Just connect the player, and go into the option on the Dashboard (I believe it's called "Play from a music device").

MY 40gb Zen xtra is wigg

All right, i have had my player for a year now. But just recently my "play" button has stopped working. It appears to be jammed. If i press in the button hard my player shuts down. When i turn the power back on, my player freezes. Things have gotten much worse in the past weeks, every time i turn my Zen Xtra on it freezes, or reboots then freezes. It also has a tendency to shut down by itself for no reason. Does anyone have the same problem, or a solution? Remember, the play/pause button is jammed so i cant reboot into the safe mode to erase my firmwire (.20.8). Any help what so ever, such as a repair location or home-made "remadies" would be greatly appreciated.

I have a problem with my Touch "back" button....sometimes it just likes to activate the "random mode" that is SOOO anoyying! I think it's a hardware problem....OUCHIEWOUCHIE

Zen Xtra 30G Works with Windows Vista Home Ba

I am writing this to help anyone who has experienced this problem. I don't know if this fix will work for all of you, on other versions of Vista, or if you have other firmware installed will not work for you. Note, since Vista was released Microsoft or Creative could have sent them updated drivers without anyone knowing. I have had Vista Home Basic for year now.
After some tweaking, the Windows XP drivers worked on Vista Home Basic.
I then use Nomad Explorer meant for XP to manage the MP3 files on my Zen Xtra.
Firmware .20.08 30G Zen Xtra
No Playforsure installed
Vista Home Basic
User Account Control OFF
Here were my steps:
Connect your Xtra to the PC running Vista.
When first connected to Vista without drivers installed, Vista attempts to find drivers, if it finds them you'll be golden, but as I know there are no such drivers, if not it should return unsuccessfully.
Download the latest USB drivers and 2004 Nomad Explorer from Creative's website.
Run all as administrator.
Right click properties to set to run these programs in Windows XP Service Pack 2 emulation mode.
Install the driver, it will hang and time out, and some drivers will be installed.
Install Nomad Explorer, if enough drivers were installed it will finish installation.
Unplug the Xtra.
Reboot.
After Vista is booted, plug in the Xtra. It will now cause the driver to load, with a bizarre off sized icon. It will view files but you cannot open or access files. Media Player will try to boot and bomb, it cannot access files nor downloaded them.
Now boot Nomad Explorer. It runs through the Xtra drivers. It will work like XP but look like Vista.

Hi i tried the 3 posible solutions with not good results:
- The driver from nomadworld is the same, so it didn't work either
JB3_PCWDRV_US__26_02.exe
- I tried to disable my antivirus, but I still get the same error at the end of the installation:
"An error occurred while setting up the driver"
- I saw the last reply about the device manager, but there's no Zen on the device manager, i had seen when a device have a error because of the driver, but in this case it doesn't appear anything.
I didn't understand which .inf I need to modify, could yopu explain me more? please.
May be is related to this, because my drivers path is "C:\Archivos de programa\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers", probably there's some path hardcoded in the installer.

40GB Zen Xtra-WILL charge in vehicle, but not in house

Alright, I've searched theknowledge base, read posts for half a day, and still have not found this particular twist on this problem. So, I'm gonna post a NEW one! As I said in the subject line, I have a (quote from the upper left corner of my unit) NOMAD JUKEBOX Zen Xtra, a 40 Gb model, aproximately 2 years old, been returned for hard dri've replacement once. It will no longer charge with a wall charger. I have 2 chargers,(as they sent me another when I had my unit serviced) and neither will charge my Xtra. I've tried other brands of uni'versal chargers, still no luck. However, it WILL charge using a uni'versal charger plugged into the cigarette lighter in my vehicle! The only setting it will charge my Xtra on is at 4.5 volts, so I don't get a full charge. Why they didn't make ALL mp3 players charge with the USB cable is beyond me! Any suggestions, ideas, even sympathy will be appreciated!

I have had enough of creative!!!! They say that they wont help me,
"I apologize for the inconvenience, but according to the information
provided, this product is either EOSL (End of Service Life), or you are
beyond your complimentary e-mail support period."
Obviously it has been like two years!!!
What is the point in there being a support group if most of the really big problems occur after the warranty.
Next time ill go with ipod.
I am on the bandwagon for the class action lawsuit.

Getting Zen Xtra to work with new compu

I just bought a new Dell 8400 with a Sound Blaster Audigy card. The computer has Creative Media Source version 2.03.29 installed. I plugged my Zen Xtra into the USB port, and I guesss I just expected it to work (but obviously it doesn't). how do I get the new computer to recognize my mp3 player. I can't locate any of the discs that came with the mp3 player. Are there drivers I can download? I looked through the download section, but I really wasn't sure what I was looking for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For the Zen Xtra right?
I went to and chose MP3 Players > Zen (Hard Disk Dri've/MicroDri've) > Zen Xtra, then <EM>Get Files</EM>.
The driver was listed there, but you want to download:
Jukebox Driver version .26.02</LI>
Creative MediaSource Software Update version 2.03.29</LI>
NOMAD JukeBox Type 2 Version .0.03 (English) Web Release</LI>
Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0) (if you want to use Nomad Explorer)</LI>
You then want to:
install the driver</LI>
turn the Xtra on and connect to the PC and let the driver install (should be automatic)</LI>
with the Zen still connected to the PC install MediaSource (it needs a Creative product present to validate the install)</LI>
install the Nomad Jukebox Type 2 version (this is required to get MediaSoruce to work with the player)</LI>
If you want, install Nomad Explorer</LI>
That's all you should need to do.

HELP PLZ!!! MY 40gb Zen Xtra Wont Turn O

I have had my Zen Xtra for about 0 months now. It was working fine just last night, but now today it doesn't even turn on. Is the battery dead because i always have it recharging? I don't know what to do, i don't want to lose all of my music.Message Edited by apexi303 on 0-3-2005 09:22 PM

Is it bad that i have the main power always connected to the player? Because thats what i did...
Just to answer that specific question, it's not bad for the player and shouldn't cause any problem.

40GB Zen Xtra Harddisk Prob

I've had my Zen since January and its been brilliant, took a while to get here due to middle-man company but great nontheless. Well, till today however; I was out with the Zen yesterday when suddenly the battery died, first time its happened but it didn't bother me. Charged it today and then went to turn it on to access my music, much to my dismay it stalled on loading up the mp3 player, pausing on the EAX screen. After about 2 minutes it loaded up the Rescue Mode screen, I tried rebooting it. Same problem, I tried cleaning it - nothing happened. I tried reloading the OS - 'Harddisk Problem'. I eventually after trying to update the firmware which didn't change a thing did the unholy task of formatting the disk ... again 'Harddisk Problem'.
Now I've contacted the company I bought it from AND Creative over this problem and I'm fearing its going to have to be sent back at the very least. Which isn't exactly the best scenario seeing as I'm heading to London next week, but anyway, if anyone knows of any way this can be fixed or if the the reason is quite obvious, please leave a post =)
Cheers.

I've actually just read up on a site about this problem and scarily enough it was suggested a bit of brute force or shaking of the player may be advisable. I tried my hand at holding it at arms left and twisting my wrist from side to side, the other more drastic technique was to place the Zen on a surface, hold it, and give it a sharp tap on the side. The latter proved more effecti've and the annoying catching noise ceased to continue.

Gantt Chart Shows Months With Nothing in it Requiring User to Scroll to Dates

I have a task list with a filtered list of dates that all fall in October yet the Gantt chart starts in April. Thus a user has to scroll all the way over to the far right to see any of the active tasks in the list. Is there a solution for this? Am I missing
some basic setting? I also don't see the "You are here" date line. I am on SharePoint 2013 0365.
Thanks!

Hi ,
You can click the ribbon button "Zoom Out" under list tab to show a larger time increment on the time scale, then it should show the whole task bar and status without scrolling to the right.

40gb zen xtra h

WMP and Mediasource will not recognise Zen Xtra with Playsfors

?I, like many people apparently, have been attempting to sync my Creative Labs 40GB Zen Xtra (firmware 2.0.03 - Playsforsure enabled) ) with my music files on my computer using either WMP0, or Mediasource with the Playsforsure Plugin installed. Even Explorer would be cool- but nothing recognises it.
?The problem I am having is that when I plug in the Zen, windows recognises the player as "MTP Media Player" and offers to start WMP for me, but when I get into WMP it doesnt see the Zen. The device shows in Device Manager under "Windows Portable Devices/NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra" but nothing else on the system recognises it- not Explorer, not WMP, now Mediasource with the Plugin. ?I have attempted to run "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players" but unfortunately everytime I try it says it cannot detect the player and will not install- It?says[color="#ff0000"]"Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. [color="#ff0000"]Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected."
After?installing the correct driver itself it comes back and asks me to plug in the device and when I do and click next it says
[color="#ff0000"]"Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. [color="#ff0000"]Please ensure your portable device is connected and switched on.[color="#ff0000"]?[color="#ff0000"]If your player is not enabled with Microsoft's PlaysForSure,[color="#ff0000"]please ensure that Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware is properly installed before running this Setup program."? The correct firmware IS installed according to the "about" screen on the player itself.
I have gone thru the steps to edit the permissions in the registry under "enum/usb" as suggested in another thread by Daniel-CL, and still this does not fix it. Then as suggested by [color="#ff6633">SSR, I?tried reinstalling MediaSource first, followed by the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players.
(Still wouldnt let me install it)?
Oh, and I tried hooking it into my XBox 360, which Microsoft says will recognise a PlaysForSure enabled Zen Xtra. It wont recognise it either. So basically the player just sits in Device Manager and taunts me. It's there. It pops up when I plug it in. When I try to run a program that should recognise it, the little arrows on the player even light up for a moment to show communication with the program. But alas... nothing. I'm going crazy here.Did I miss something?

I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
2) Select "Properties"
3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

Zen Xtra 40gb probl

Anyone know how to fix this problem so i can use my mp3 player?

Shauna Mahana,
Have you try running Cleanup function from the player Rescue mode? It might help with the file transfer.

Zen xtra- problems with the wh

I have a 40gb zen xtra. The wheel has always given me a bit of a problem but moreso recently. Often when I click it to select an artist (or anything, it happens randomly, but frequently) it doesnt perform that function but instead pauses the song thats currently playing. If I press it enough times, eventually it will work, sometimes it changes the song if i press it too many times. This has happened for a long time but now is happening more frequently.
Also, and this just started happening, never has before, when i try to scroll up or down by holding it, it will stop and I'll have to release it and push it back up or down in order to continue.
Anyone else have these problems and is there a solution?Message Edited by Wolfe on 02-07-200706:2 PM

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra: Need help getting it to work with Vis

Does anyone know if the Zen Xtra will work with Windows Vista 32-bit's? I have tried installing the software that came with my MP3 player on my laptop that runs with Vista and it just doesn't work. Are there new drivers that I need? Please help!

i just found another, easier way to make you zen xtra work with windows vista
go to the support page and download the oldest driver, i think it's version .30 or somehting like that
install that- it should prompt you to overwrite a newer version of the driver, if it does, say ok
vista might then ask you if it installed correctly, say no, and run the installation in compatibility mode
then download the oldest version of nomad explorer, and install that
instead of using the preset instalation directory, select browse
i'm not sure if this has any effect, but i think some of the folders are renamed for vista
when the installation is finished, select "restart my computer now"
if you wait, it may not work properly
this should get nomad explorer running properly with vista
if you don't like this program and prefer creative media source organizer, you can now transfer your music to your harddri've and update your firmwar, without having to worry about external storage, a dual boot system, or any of those messy options
