NOMAD Explorer doesn't detect Zen To

I open NOMAD Explorer and it says not connected. I would really like to look at the files in my player and edit the tags and whatnot. I can still use the Windows Explorer thing to access the player. Any help on getting it to detect or anyone have another way to edit the files?

Are you using the PlayForSure firmware(verson 2.xx.xx) for the Zen Touch player now? Nomad Explorer won't work with the new firmware. You can download the Zen Touch Media Explorer suite from the website and use that instead to replace the Nomad Explorer.

  • PC DOESN'T DETECT ZEN MICRO

    after I downloaded the latest firmware updates/drivers for my zen micro, my pc doesn't detect my player. i can't view songs via windows explorer, creative interface or windows media player.
    i tried uninstalling and then re-installing all of the creative software from cd, but that didn't work.
    everything worked before i installed the drivers...
    please help?

    i got my player to work on my pc again... FINALLY. in the device manager, i hit 'update driver' and my player was detected (at least signaled on the player). when i tried to access songs via windows explorer, it then said it wasn't detected and then the icon on the player was gone again.
    sooo000, i hit 'update driver' again and again the icon reappeared on the player saying it was docked. while the icon was still there i reinstalled the driver (. ) and replaced the existing driver.
    voila!! it works again!!! hopefully this post will help someone else out there. it's a great player and i'm just happy i can use it on my pc.
    thanks everyone!

  • Windows doesn't detect Zen V Plus he

    I've just purchased the Creative Zen V Plus 4gb for my girlfriend but windows doesn't want to detect it, I have followed the?online suggestions with no?luck. It shows in my device manager but with an exclamation mark next to it, I've tried re-installing the driver with?no luck. I've tried this with media player 0 and just updated to series but am still having the same problem. I think all I need is a driver for this player but the software that came with it is not helping me! I have a ipod which I use on the same usb port and that works fine so why doesn't the Zen work!?
    Your help would be very much appreciated.

    Did you try to connect your device to Windows Media Player , under "Sync" Did you download and install all latest drivers and software (see below) ZEN V Plus and then Windows Vista 32-bit. http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=27&y=3

  • New firmware but Creative software doesn't detect Zen To

    I installed new firmware (a story in itself) but since then creative software doesn't detect my player. It works fine through Real player (but slow) and Media player but I preferred the creative software. I have installed updated software but still the same. Not much joy as yet from Creative and I have tried troubleshooting which involves sync-ing with Windows media but it just froze most of the time and was incredibly slow. After rolling back Media player 0 I re-installed but same thing happened.Anyone have any ideas?

    I have had the same problem. I've tried to update the firmware and now thw PC software does nor recognise the zen. Tried everthing and in the process of seding it back to creative. Anyone any ideas. could be cheaper to buy something else that works longer than 4 months.

  • Windows Vista doesn't detect Zen V P

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. My laptop has Windows Vista on it, but it will not detect my Zen V Plus when I plus it in. My computer at work, which has Windows XP Professional, detects the player just fine.

  • 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 not detecting any fil

    I own a Creative Zen 20GB player and for some reason Nomad Explorer no longer detects any files. It is connected properly and the "Docked" screen shows up on the player. I have tried re-installing Nomad Explorer but it still shows no files.
    Any sort of help would be appreciated.

    Well it has started to show the files but when I try to copy a Data File it comes up with an error "Jukebox Player Can't Be Read" or something similar. When I try to play a .avi file straight from the Data Library it comes up with an error saying "An unkown error has occured and the operation was unsuccessful.".
    Also when I try to copy music files, after I copy a file Nomad Explorer closes and when I try to re-open it it crashes so I have to unplug the Zen Touch and open Nomad Explorer that way.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Nomad Explorer - Crappy

    Why doesn't Nomad Explorer want to act right? It always crashes when I launch it. I can't make use of the opppurtunity to transfer data to the mp3 player. What can be done in order for me to get this program working? :angry: It even crashes my windows Explorer.exe My PC's OS information is Windows XP SP (NTFS). Please help me get to the bottom of why Nomad Explorer doesn't want to work.

    Anecdotally I've found Nomad very buggy. Notmad Explorer pre-dates this, and despite being shareware, it's very good.
    You can of course double check that you have the latest firmware, drivers and Nomad Explorer also from Nomadworld.com downloads.

  • Nomad Explorer not detecting Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra after firmware upgr

    <blockquote dir="ltr">From the firmware thread: "The Creative drivers shouldn't make any difference. An MTP device is looking for the Windows Media Player 0 MTP driver (which is installed with WMP0)."[/quote]Is that why my updated Zen Xtras (40G and 60G) are no longer recognized by Nomad Explorer on Windows XP? XP sees them. MediaMonkey sees them (and can synch). (WMP0 is installed, but I haven't tried it.) Nomad Explorer (3.0.0, 22 Sep 2004) says nothing's detected. Is this because I'm still using the latest driver (2.0.00), which the Creative download site says only supports firmware below 2.00.00. (If so, interesting choice by Creative, making us downgrade the driver.)?I wouldn't care, but Nomad Explorer is the only way (I know of) to edit the devices' names and startup bitmaps. And I wouldn't even care so much about the bitmaps, but I really really want to edit the names so that I can tell them apart in MediaMonkey's list of devices. Can we still use Nomad Explorer? Which driver should I be using? Creative's download section is anything but clear:?2.0.00 (8 Oct 2006): Supports XP but the firmware must be below 2.00.00.
    .30.03 (3 Sep 2005): Supports XP but was released before firmware 2.0.03, so does it support it's?There's also a legacy OS Driver for Windows 2000 (.0.00, 27 Feb 2006) which specifically says it supports PFS players. Is this what I need? Can we no longer use Nomad Explorer on XP (even though it's listed as a download)?

    Thanks, but if the Nomad Explorer requires the suite to work, I'll just have to do without it. The Creative Suite is better than it used to be, but IMO it's still not as good as MediaMonkey. Still, Creative doesn't list the Suite as being required for Explorer to work, so I don't think that's it. From the Download page:?Requirements
    Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition or Windows 98 Second Edition<
    Creative NOMAD Jukebox 2, 3, Zen, Zen USB2.0, Zen NX, Zen Xtra or Zen Touch<
    I'll try the other driver tonight and see if that's it.

  • Nomad Explorer not detecting pla

    I had a zen touch and it suddenly stopped working so i was sent out a replacement but the new one cant be detected by the nomad explorer and I cant figure out why.

    No, once you have upgraded to the MTP firware, you cannot go back to ver. x of the firmware.

  • 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

  • (Zen touch) Is there a way to do a file count for Nomad Explor

    Hi. I just got my Zen Touch. It rocks, but I was wondering if there's a way to count how many files are actually in the NOMAD Explorer. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I'm sure my NJB3 tells me somewhere. Is there a place you can view the firmware version? I'm thinking it's around there somewhere, if it hasn't been removed from the Touch. I know that Notmad Explorer gives very clear details.
    To save the tracks as a playlist, just queue them all up then hit the scroller and choose "save as playlist". Of course you can do a similar thing in the software by creating a playlist and then copying the tracks into it.

  • 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.
