Connecting to Nomad Jukebox 3 using MediaSource for XP-64

I am currently running Windows XP-64 and own a Nomad Jukebox 3.
I have downloaded the latest version of Creative MediaSource (for XP-64) which includes the Nomad plugin. Does this mean I'm able to connect to my Jukebox from here ? I can only see "My Computer and PC music Library".
Clayton

Hello,
Many thanks for your replies.
Unfortunately I could not get the device to work, this is what I did:
) I made sure that I had downloaded everything for CMS. The latest version I have is Creative MediaSource, release 3.30.2. I then hit "Check Update" and I received the following message:
Status: No updates are necessary for your Creative product. Your system already has the latest versions installed.
2) I then went to Tools > Settings and I have the following set:
Enable Detector - Checked
Play Sound On Detection - Checked
"NOMAD Jukebox 2/3/Zen" - Checked
"Show Detection Window to Select Task to Perform" - Checked
3) I then closed down CMS and took out the USB from my Jukebox and from the back of the PC. The PC played a sound when I reconnected, however when I went back into CMS I still have the same screen.
4) Also, I have an auto shutoff after a couple of minutes. When the Jukebox switches off, XP-64 then displays an error "USB device not found".
5) Please also note, that there appears to be no device written for the Nomad Jukebox 3 using XP-64. Do I need to wait for this driver first ?
6) The really weird thing is that XP-64 "knows" it's a Nomad Jukebox !! Whenever I reboot, remove the USB and reconnect XP-64 says "Nomad Jukebox" found !! The problem then, is that it's asking for the latest drivers.

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?

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.

Is there a way to stay connected to a network but use wireless for my internet?

Hello all.
Quick question.
I am looking at using my phone's mobile hotspot for my iMac to connect to via wifi since it's on 4G, and this internet at this house is dire. Really, really slow. I've got a wireless router plugged into the cable modem, which has a Western Digital World Edition network hard drive connected to it.
Since this is the first time I had good speeds (via the phone hotspot) I started downloading OS X Lion. I then went downstairs and realised I'd like to listen to the music on my harddrive, so I plugged the ethernet cable in. As soon as I do that, despite airport being above ethernet on the network config pref pane, it automatically connects to the ethernet internet instead, and drops to really slow again.
As I see it, I can either benefit from the fast internet and have no access to the network, or be able to use the network but get poor internet speeds.
Without sounding stupid: can I use the wifi to get the fast internet, whilst being connected via ethernet to the network?
(i'd unplug the modem, but when I'm out of the house my girlfriend will need to be able to connect to the internet via the network...)
SECONDLY, is there a way to be connected to the ethernet network and toggle on/off internet access from it at the same time? E.g.... I would be connected to access our hard drive, etc., all the time, but if i didn't have access to my phone I could click something and enable internet access through the ethernet network, and turn it off when i had my phone to hand?
Let me know!

can I use the wifi to get the fast internet, whilst being connected via ethernet to the network?
Sorry, but no.
SECONDLY, is there a way to be connected to the ethernet network and toggle on/off internet access from it at the same time?
Yes. You should have a means to disable the modem. Doing so would disconnect you from the Internet but still leave your local network functional in order to access the WD HDD.

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.

Should I install "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSourc

I have the Play For Sure firmware on my Zen Touch, now I'm going to first install the driver on my computer, then install the creative media source, then the play for sure software suite, and then the media source CD plugin. Should I also install the Zen & Nomad Jukebox plugin afterward or that's only for ppl who haven't upgraded the firmware?
Thanks!

The "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource" is for those who have the non-PlaysForSure firmware. So, you do not need to install it.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra connection probl

Hello Everyone.
First off, I am using Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (30G) with Windows XP - SP2. A few days ago my Zen Xtra would connect to my pc but as of today it no longer does. After searching through similar posts I am assuming it's not a problem with my Zen but with my PC. None the less, I did do my best to troubleshoot myself. I downloaded all possible firmware/drivers from Nomadworld.com. However - the firmware upgrade would not complete due to the fact that my device is not connected. I tried connecting my player to other USB ports on my PC - no luck. I used Nomad Explorer to do my transfers and as suggested in the FAQ, I tried downloading others (ie: MediaSource) however these wouldn't install because it could not detect any device. When I go to Device Manager/USB/ my Nomad isn't even listed. I have tried 3 different USB cables. The player isn't locked. Other devices work with the usb cables and port (ie: logitec clicksmart camera)
So now assuming it is a PC problem, where do I go from now? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Hibbs,
Thank you for your response. The only thing that comes to mind is k-lite codec pack I downloaded and installed for the Indeo codec needed for my clicksmart 820. I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with the disruption of my device. The camera itself worked but wouldn't record videos until I installed the codec. Everything else to my knowledge is the same. No other new USB devices installed either.

Unable To Repair/Update Firmware for a Creative Nomad Jukebox

Hello all,
I've been trying for the past...3 or 4 hours to get my player to work, but it simply refuses to work =P. I sent the problem into Creative, but haven't gotten a response for a couple days now. So, here's a copy-paste of what I sent in that e-mail. If you can think of anything that might help, please don't hesitate to post! I really need your help on this one!
My player's hard dri've recently died, and I received
a replacement from the original store (a CompUSA).
However, my Firmware for the device has failed. I
tried the firmware upgrade for my Zen, but after
a certain number of tries, I gave up. Here is the
list of steps that I followed.
On Zen: Click "Reload OS", let it run, it says
run the firmware upgrader now.
On Computer: "You cannot install this firmware
update with your player's current drivers using
the SB394 connector. To update your player's
firmware, this application will temporarily
replace the current drivers and restore them after
the installation is complete. Continue
installation?", I click Yes. Then it says to
disconnect, and re-connect. I do it.
It shows my version (.2.0), and I'm upgrading/
repairing it to .2.02. When I click "Upgrade", a
warning message pops up and says:
"Your player cannot start up properly. Please
reboot your player and run this application again.
I've done this at least 0 times, and nothing changes. My player is a Nomad Jukebox Zen, the one with a FireWire connection, and like I said,
I've tried this at least 0 times with the same results. Is there a process to completely remove
the firmware on the device, then reinstall it,
or to roll it back or something? Any other ideas
to fix this problem is needed as well.

Bump.

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: Nomad Explorer says Not connected ... first time u

I just bought a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. I used the installation CD to install everything and Windows automatically tried to locate a driver for it but it was not successful, so I downloaded the driver for the Zen Xtra from this website and installed it.
However, when I open "Nomad Explorer" it shows the player's logo with a red X and says "Not connected". How do I get the player to connect to the computer?
This is my first time using a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra and I have limited computer knowledge, but I know all my USB ports are working.
Any help would be appreciated.
-John

Hi!?I'm having the same problem. I bought the player, but after a couple of weeks I've exchanged it, because of some hardware problem. The original player worked all right, but the new one is not recognized by NOMAD Explorer ("not connected"), and?I also?can't copy files via Windows Explorer. The strange thing is I managed to copy a couple of albums, but then it'sstarted to hang the Explorer. The firmware version is 2.0.03. I reinstalled the drivers and NOMAD Explorer - didn't help. PS: You've got to help me, 'cause my iPod-loving friends laugh at me, so it's my and Creative's reputation we're talking about

How do I get the Nomad Jukebox 3 to work with MediaSource Organiz

I tried to transfer songs, but MediaSource Organizer (Version 2.02.06)does not show the Jukebox 3 file library. I downloaded the latest version (CMS_PCAPP_LB_2_03_29.exe) of the application and when I tried to install it, I got the following message:
"An error occurred while launching the setup (0X80040707)."
The creative download site said that I would also have to download the specific Nomad Pack for my player, but they provided no specifics.
Please tell me which applications/drivers/firmware I need to download/install and in what order. Please be very specific. I purchased the Nomad Zen for my daughter, which is why we are using MediaSource Organizer. The software for my son's Jukebox 3 has been misplaced. I assumed that all Jukeboxes would be supported with the MediaSource Organizer.
Thanks in advance.

snd: To add to Jason's advice, also make sure to read the FAQ post, specifically search on "lost your CD". Even though this is for the Zen it's still applicable, and it details the software you need to install.

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Wont appear in the creative mediasource organiz

I plug it into the usb dri've, and it doesnt show up. I look on My Computer, and it shows up as an audio device, and other. I go to my mediasource organizer, and it doesnt show up. I can access it on my computer, but it takes longer and I have no way of organizing my songs. I tried to re-install it, but it still doesnt work. It also doesn't work on my brothers 60gb one. Any help?

hol3_c4t,
Did you install the Nomad Jukebox Type 2 plugin also? If not, go to the download page and install those in order for the MediaSource application to identify the player.

Transferring tracks from Nomad Jukebox 2 to MUVO with Creative MediaSource Player/Organi

I recently installed Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer . When I transfer tracks from Nomad Jukebox 2 to my MUVO the tracks are transferrred as folders, not tracks (which the MUVO cannot play). How do I get the Nomad Explorer to transfer the MP3s as tracks and not folders? I'd appreciate your help.
P.S. I do not have this problem when I use Creative Playcenter to do a similar tranfer.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Perhaps there's some confusion with the MuVo Explorer, or plain Windows Explorer.
