Nomad explorer and creative mediasource not detecting zen touch player. PLEASE HE

Hi, I got a new pc and I was going to install my Zen Touch mp3 player on my new pc but I could'nt find the installation cd so I followed the instructions on here and downloaded all the necessary? software, drivers, plug ins, and followed all the instructions. Once everything was downloaded and installed I plugged my mp3 player into my pc and the noise it makes came up and mtp media player pop up appeared. Windows media player accepts that my zen touch is plugged in but creative media source and nomad explorer is not detecting it's?My os is windows xp, I am using windows media player 9 as I was having trouble with windows media player . Could someone please help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you've just upgraded to XP, you now have to upgrade your Zen as well as your Mediasource. First you've got to upgrade your Zen Touch firmware to version 2.0.05 or above. Look around on the Creative Support site and you'll find the download without too much trouble. Be warned that the firmware upgrade is permanent, and it will wipe out your Zen hard dri've contents, so say goodbye to all your music unless you want to back it all up to your PC first.
Then you've got to upgrade your Mediasource to v 3.30.2 or higher. Again, you can find the upgrade download on the Creative site. Then you've got to install Zen Touch Media Explorer v .30.04 or higher. Same thing -- easy to locate on the Creative site. Then you should be good to go!?Best,?John

NOMAD Explorer and Creative MediaSource cr

Is anybody experiencing this frustrating problem?
I recently purchased a Creative Nomad Zen Xtra and installed the included software (drivers, Creative MediaSource and Nomad Explorer) on a Toshiba M200 notebook. My Creative MediaSource version is 2.02.06. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP.
When I plug in my Nomad, Windows detects the device just fine.
When I run MediaSource, everything looks good. I can see PC Music Library, My Computer and NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra in the left Sources pane. When I click on the NOMAD icon in sources, then on Music Library, all the music on my Nomad shows up in the right pane.
By the way, so far I've been using Windows Media Player to transfer my music files to the Nomad, no problem. The reason I started using MediaSource is that I want to create playlists for my Nomad, and I can't seem to find a way to create or transfer playlists themselves using Windows MP.
Here's the problem. Whenever I click (left or right mouse button--it doesn't matter) on one of the music files shown on my Nomad, MediaSource crashes. If I run Nomad Explorer, the same thing happens when I click on a music file located in the right pane (file is located on the Nomad), except here Windows Explorer crashes, of course.
I tried upgrading my Creative software to get the latest version of everything, but the same crash keeps occuring. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc, but nothing seems to work. In total frustration, I installed the Creative Software on a different Toshiba notebook (also running Windows XP Pro SP). On that machine, the old version of the software (from my CD) works just fine! However, I really can't use that system for my music.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this crash? This consistent bug is preventing me from doing anything useful with music files on my Nomad using the Creative Software.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I did try upgrading ALL of the Creative software on my notebook, including the driver. That did not solve the crash problem. At that point, I tried uninstalling all Creative Software, rolled back my system to the state before I installed any Creative software (using WinXP System Restore), and reinstalled the original Creative software. The problem remains. I guess I could try rolling the system state back again, but then install only the latest version of the software. I don't know. At this point I am flailing and I am thinking there is no way to make this stuff work on my computer.
An alternati've route is this: Is there any other software I can use to create/manage playlists on my Nomad? If Windows Media Player 0 can do it, I would be thrilled. It seems pretty solid, as far as I can tell.

Creative Mediasource not detecting Zen To

Hi
Just reinstalled windows'but can't find my Zen Touch CD anywhere. The only software i ever use is the Creative Mediasource to transfer my MP3's onto the Player.
I went to Creatives Website and downloaded the Mediasource which is there V3.30.2. It looks slightly never than my old version. I also installed the Driver that was on the creative site and that seemed to install ok.However when i plug in my Zen after i start up the Mediasource it does'nt seem to detect the Zen and i can nothing with it. The Zen's definately connected and working ok because when i go into MY COMPUTER it is showing and i can browse the files.
Any idea?
Thanx

Creative MediaSource not detecting my creative zen to

I'm having trouble with my Creative Zen Touch. In Creative MediaSource, in the sources part on the left hand side, it does not detect my Creative Zen Touch and therefore i cannot transfer music. Any help would be much appreciated. PS when i plug my Creative Zen Touch into the computer using the usb port, the computer detects the device and i have an option to "take no action" or "Transfer files using Windows Media Player".

I am also having this problem, but in order to download from the zen to the pc, I will have to have everything erased off the Zen, and there is an important recording I want to load to my PC first. There is no where in my creative media source since I updated my firmware to load from Zen to PC like there used to be. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Creative Mediasource not detecting

Downloaded Mediasource 5. Not detecting new Zen 32 GB.

I realize there's probably a specific plugin or driver that I need, but I can't seem to find a working link on the Creative site. Can anyone provide me with a direct link?
Also, I have a Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra from back in the day - with the old Mediasource software. Is there a way to get both Zens to work with one Mediasource so that I only have to keep one version on my PC. Thanks?
Also, anyone have any thoughts on how they like working the Zen with Windows Media Player. Would you recommend switching to that instead of Mediasource? I've been pretty happy with Mediasource (except for the fact that it doesn't recognize "The" the way itunes does).

MediaSource not recognizing Zen Touch pla

Hello,
We recently got new PC's at work and I didn't have my cd with me... so I downloaded the drivers/media source for my Zen Touch. I followed the troubleshooting steps - reinstalling, etc. Windows sees the player and I can click the Zen player icon in My Computer (sees it as an external dri've) and can see all my songs... but when I get into MediaSource it doesn't realize I have a player installed. It's not an available source dri've at all. I noticed it never says "device connected" on my player's screen like I think it used to on my old pc when I'd bring up the media source. what am I missing or doing wrong?

You need to install "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource" in addition to MediaSource itself.

Windows XP won't recognize my Zen Touch. Please he

Hi,
I jusy got a ZT and I did a full installation from the included disk. But I cannot get either Nomad Explorer or Creative Media Source to recognize my player. In Nomad, it has a Not Connected icon in the working area, and in CMS, the player is not present as a choice in the menu on the right side of the screen (where the PC music library drop-down is).
I've tried to re-install AND update the drivers in Windows. But Windows cannot seem to find the drivers even though the CD is in my CD player. I've also tried to install the drivers from Creative's website, but it tells me I need to be logged in as an administrator, and Windows seems to indicate that you really shouldn't do that, so I didn't pursue it.
When I tried to install the firmware update from the Creative website, it also says my player is not connected. So that didn't work either.
I am running Windows XP Home Edition if it matters.
I did not have the player connected when I installed the software. But just to be safe, I uninstalled everything, restarted my machine, and then reinstalled all the software and restarted again. This didn't help.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do? I cannot use the player because I cannot get any music in it (and I don't like the classical that they already loaded).
Thanks!!!!

PS. Notmad doesn't recognize the player as connected either. I cannot manually connect it in Notmad Manager.
I have not disconnected and reconnected my USB hub as I read someplace as a suggested fix (don't know how to do that). And I have not logged on as an admin and tried to reinstall the drivers (don't know how).
Before I bought this thing I read all the horror stories of the software it came with and whatnot, but I never imagined the nightmare it would actually be. I've been installing hardware and software on this computer for three years and not one conflict or crashing program has ever occured. I can't believe you have to be an IT expert just to use this stupid little toy. End rant!
Thanks again for the suggestions.

Upgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!?

JUpgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!
st off, I was having issues with mp3's transferring to my zen touch, it would say file cannot transfer, invalid format or something of the like.. The creative audio converter would not allow the file to be converted as it said the source was not availble, all odd as the files worked fine on my computer and were mp3 format. I did get them to transfer after downloading another 3rd party converter, I wanted to get past using another program though so I updated to media source 5, along with firmware updates to most recent for the zen touch.
Once I had updated it would not recognize my player, I opened version 3.xxx whatever and it did recognize. Thinking maybe it has an issue with both being installed I unistalled the old version. Same problem, still does not see my player. I upated the driver for the player as well, and my computer now could see the zen touch instead of unknown usb device, media source 5 no go still at this point. I opened windows media 0 and it saw the player and I could transfer files, but the lay out and editing cababilities are limited.
Basically I want to know what to do get this thing detected so I can use media source 5 to organize my files. Someone please help me.

N Oh how I love the beauty of forums! Fantastic. So you know the fix went for my issue here, I had already upgraded the zen/jukebox driver to version 2.0 to no avail, and did not get the play for sure firmware as it says all data will be lost, but I did upgrade with the other option on the support downloads section before as well to no avail. Thanks to?GuyGraham, after I installed the app update for Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer it works once again!! I just do not see how this file isn't included with the media source 5 application in the first place. Either or thanks a lot you guys, problem sovled!

Creative camera not detected error...

Ok, I have a creative webcam pro. Not ex, just the Pro.
I got it like last year and it was working fine. But up until two months ago my computer crashed and I had to reformat and all that good stuff...
Now I put in the cd and install it. I plug in the camera and it says creative camera not detected. For some reason my computer installed the cam as "Dual mode usb camera plus"
So after that I uninstalled everything and this time it installed the camera correctly. But I still get the error. So I uninstalled, yadda yadda. I can't get this thing to work! It worked before my computer crashed, so I dont see why it doesnt work now?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Message Edited by Andrewld on 08-05-2005 08:00 AM

I have exactly the same problem - exactly as you state!
The only this I noticed was that when I tried to install updates from the Creative support pages was that a message came up saying that couldn't uninstall older version and asked if I wanted to continue anyway. This is driving me insane too!
Can anyone help out here - I am running Windows XP Home Media Center (which is a pile of pants too!)

Smartband and Lifelog does not detect jogging

Hello,
Smartband and Lifelog does not detect jogging (does not distinguish walking and jogging/running).
For example - walking with speed 5.7Km/h and treadmill running with speed 9-10 km/h.
Smartband worn on left hand.

Hi,
As I understand, lifelog log your exercise as running if the pace is 2.5 steps/ second or above.

Windows 8 and itunes can not detect itouch

I have windows 8 and itunes will not detect my itouch? Any tips?

Chris CA, I am having the same problem. I actually just purchased a brand new laptop (w/ Windows 8 already installed) and had to download itunes latest version (ver. 11) and am having the same problems. As my itunes seems compatible with my Windows 8, my itouch device can not be recognized by itunes or in the "my computer" folder.
perhaps this more of a windows 8 issue and not an itunes issue?
PS, i have OS4 on my itouch, could this be a problem as well?
Thanks!

Strange issue - XI somtimes process a file and sometimes its not detected

Dear friends,
We have a strange problem. Ill describe the situation:
We have a simple file to file scenario without any mapping or File Content Conversion. Daily a sender system puts a ZIP file on a server and XI processes this file.
The strange thing is that XI sometimes processes this file and sometimes its not detected at all. After our analysis we come to conclusion that its not random.
We have looked at almost everything. We have checked the:
File name;
Size of the messages.
Authorisation;
Users that are assigned to the processing job.
Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone has a suggestion?
Helpful points will be rewarded,
Kind regards,
Kamran

Hi Mickael,
There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers. So I hope my answers are not stupid
1. what is your Polling Interval of your Sender Agreement ? Once a day ? every 60s ? etc...
because you say that your Legacy put the file Daily.
Answer: The polling Interval is 400 seconds and Modification Check is 400000 Msecs
2. Are you sure that your Legacy does not put the file after or during the XI adapter try to catch it?
Answer: No Because Modification Check works perfectly and we get alerts if the file is modify during the process.
3. Does your filename is always the same ?
4. or Have you a filename which can changed and which is case sensitve (lowercase and uppercase).
Answer: It has always the same name and It starts with O2C.zip
5. What are the size of your failed file?
Maybe it's too big and maybe you have a timeout somewhere (for instance into the adapter log)
Answer: It's not too big, it varies from 20 MB to 100 MB and we know that we can process files up to 700 MB
As I told before we have checked everything. Its very strange...
Do you have any other suggestion?
Regards,
Kamran

Internet Explorer and FireFox do not support Go To A Page View links

Internet Explorer and FireFox do not support Go To A Page View links between PDFs created with Acrobat 8 Professional. Safari does support the links. Similar problem on both PC and Mac.
Two possible errors occur: (1) the error message “page not found”; or (2) nothing at all happens – the reader does not leave the page.
Do you have any suggestions?

Check the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar.
