Nomad Jukebox 2 USB connector bro

The USB connector on my jukebox has popped off the player's mainboard. The result, when I plug the cable into it the there is no connection so I cannot detect the device on the computer.
If anyone has any insight as to where I might get this little dilemma solved, let me know. I don't know if there is any way to just reconnect the USB connector to the mainboard, or if a new mainboard is an option, somehow.
The player works fine otherwise, I just cannot add, change access the contents of the dri've from the computer. I do have an IDE to USB connector device, if there any way to utilize that to access the files to back them up.
Thanks
Scott

    ?You where able to find a Vista Driver for the Nomad Jukebox Zen? Creative lists the product as being end of life, and the vista support document lists it as unsupported and "No Development Planned" for a driver.

  • Lost Nomad Jukebox 1 USB cab

    Where can I buy a new one (and cheap too?) Thanks!

    It's one of the standard connectors, called a Type B. You need a wire with a Type A to Type B connector.
    Don't get a wire with the mini-B connector, which is the newer smaller connector.
    You can see the connectors here.

  • Hooking a camera to Nomad jukebox Zen Xtra using a belkin USB bri

    Has anyone tried to transfer files from a digital camera to a Nomad jukebox Zen Xtra using a belkin USB bridge? Or any of the other Creative Mp3 players? If not does anyone know any other way to use the mp3 player as photo storage when traveling without use of computer?

    It certainly won't work with the Zen players because they use a non-standard format.
    There's the possibility that it should work with the MuVo players as they are just USB mass storage, but I've heard mention of someone that supposedly tried it and it doesn't. Am I right in thinking the Belkin USB bridge is for the iPod, or is it supposed to work for any USB mass storage player?

  • Nomad jukebox 3 can be charged by usb?

    I've an older Creativ nomad jukebox 3.
    i'd know if I can charge its battery by connecting it with usb to an adapter usb-AC or usb-lighter (in a car).
    I'd use it in my car but i don't know how charge it.
    Thanks

    Are you absolutely sure you cannot get to rescue mode? See here: http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=6&categories =Nomad+Jukebox+3#73 for the info, it can be tricky.
    If you cant get to the rescue mode then you should probably call Creative tech support. They will work on out of warrantee players, but it will be spendy. Ask them for an estimate and then decide if its worth it or if its to much $ and you wont to go get another.

  • HELP need usb driver4 old Nomad Jukebox 10g

    Crashed my PC starting up new one. I no longer have anything for my Creative Nomad jukebox 0gig. My PC will not detect it. I think I need the usb driver for it but I have tried all the downloads I could find but my player I guess is too old. But it works great . I cant install media player to sync songs because it cant detect my player. Ive waisted hours trying to resolve this.
    How can I get my Nomad to be recognized by my PC via usb?
    PS I have the old blue and silver Nomad. It was out before the Zens.
    Thanks

    First make sure all your USB ports work. Use the rear ones when connecting the player. Install these applications in this order. The driver Creative ZEN and Jukebox Driver 2.0.00 Then this app. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 Then this one Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource Then this one Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0)

  • NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra 30gb dri

    Hiya,
    Sorry if its been asked before, but I installed a new Windows Vista 64bit about a month ago and since then I've searched all over the net trying to find a working driver that will allow me to transfer all of my music that I've collected over the years from my NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra30gb to my PC.
    It worked fine with XP, but I need a 64bit driver for the USB connector.
    Does anyone know where I can download a working driver?
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

    Does your player have the Plays For Sure Firmware http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+Players If it doesn't do you still have access to a computer with XP

  • NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra file recovery from working harddri

    My USB port on my NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra is basically non-functional. The drive works fine so i'm not trying to recover "corrupted" files, just ones that exist on the drive... Is there any way I can access the files on the hard drive directly if I remove it from my Nomad Is there any way to use a hard drive connector (from a USB case) where the board plugs into the drive and the other end connects via USB to my computer (which has my Nomad software on it's) As the USB connector on the Nomad isn't working, is there any way i can get my music off the drive
    Thanks!

    Does this happen with all tranfers or any certain audio files? Have you try reinstalling the driver or try running Cleanup in Rescue mode.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Zen Xtra Nomad Jukebox suddenly not recognized by Windows XP Netbook

    I'm desperately struggling to get my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad Jukebox MP3 player (version .03.02) to be recognized by my computer. (My background is I'm about 4 hours south of my home, temporarily helping my exwife who is slowly dyiing of cancer... [URL"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA67hNO3H4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA67hNO3H4[/url] I have two laptops with me, one with XP (and the other rarely used here with Vista.) My main computer, a Dell Desktop running XP, is back at home with most everything else as I live out of a suitcase and do the best I can.... 'nuf said for my situation)
    About 3 weeks ago, I hooked my Creative mp3 player up to my MSI netbook, (windows xp and recently updated with all microsoft updates) and noted that the MP3 player was not being recognized by the computer. When plugged into the USB, my computer gave a 'chirp' and would look for hardware for the player, but ultimately it couldn't find it. The DEVICE page of the SYSTEM menu had the Jukebox listed with the nefarious yellow question mark. Though I don't have a CD drive on this computer, I had a portable drive with most of my software with previousl loaded software archived there, including the installation disc for my MP3 player; but none of the drivers or software that I loaded would make a difference. I download all sorts of drivers & firmware updates from the CREATIVE web site, nothing changed. I would remove all the creative software, reload, reload software, hook up the MP3 player, and.... it would recognize the Nomad player but have no way to incorporate drivers for it's use. Even as I directed it to the original 'CD' copied onto my netbook's desktop, my Windows XP with service pack 3 just couldn't do more than let me know that it couldn't quite recognize the player other than identifying what it was.. I could uninstall the device, the drivers; all to no avail.
    My incorrect guess at the time was that something internal to the mp3 player was broken and though I was lucky that it still worked as a player without any issues, I just had no way to access the 30Gb of books & lectures. Nor would the Creative Media Source work with it, as it felt that the player was not even hooked up to the computer. So,I bought a new 'used' identical model on ebay, except that the seller had upgraded the firmware and the harddrive. Once I got the new player, it's too, would not be recognized by my MSI netbook. (though it works on the laptop I have running vista).
    Last week I gratefully went home for one day to check my mail and attend to a few matters, and upon hooking my original MP3 player to my main desktop, my original MP3 player immedately docked to my computer and was working as it always had?
    Now, atleast, I knew the MP3. player was working and functionally intact, and the challenge was completely computer software issues on my netbook, possibly due to some service pack upgrade or the sort.
    I've spent several hours, reviewing all sorts of fixes and maneuvers; from blogs and tech support pages, though none made any difference as I changed various settings or softwares on my netbook. I saw lots about Vista not supporting my old firmware (which isn't an issue as my Netbook is XP.. I also saw that Windows Media player might have been the problem, and reverted to WMP 9, then to 0, though stlll no change.
    I have never turned to a tech support board before, but I'm very much in need of assistance right now. Please, if you think you can guide me, I would appreciate it.
    ~Stuart

    Thanks for the reply. I sure wish I had a better understanding of this. I will request one more piece of invaluable knowledge from you! My old zen & windows xp computer hum in awesome performance again. Unfortunately, since I thought my old zen was broken, I'm now with this new beast, with the updated firmware 2.0.03. From what I previously read on Boards and Forum pages, this device shouldn't be connected to my XP computer while I'm still using my OLD zen with old firmware. As you mention in the above note, I connect this 'new' Zen to my Vista computer, & it immedately goes into docking mode. I tried loading the newest firmware available for my device (though it doesn't list vista as compatable), and of course, when the mediasource version 3.30.2 loads, it doesn't have a clue that my zen is connected. Only WMP version seems to pay attention, which may not be that bad. But once I was up & running in WMP, I couldn''t seem to create playlists and or even clearly get it to load the Audio Lectures that I have onto it. So, Wise, All Knowing CREATIVE Wizard, any suggestions what I do? Delete WMP? I will hope never to bother you again, once this is solved!!!
    But I am tremendously grateful for the assistance. I only spent about an hour in WMP accomplishing nothing, before I realized I should just turn to you, admit my defeat, and hope for insight and practical advice!!!!!
    Thanks!!!

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra as Mass Storage Device?

    I found an old Nomad Jukebox in my closet and seeing as its pretty obsolete im wondering if there are any firmwares that will allow this to function as a plain usb dri've instead of only being able to sync with specific software.

    Probably Windows 7 more than anything else, but the main reason i would like it to behave like a mass storage device is so i can plug it into my car stereo via usb and play music from it. Sure, i could use the auxillary plug, but i find it easier to navigate to a song using my headunit's controls than the Jukebox's.
    Well since that is how you want to use it you could always remove the hardri've format it & use it in a portable hardri've enclosure.Your car stereo does it read an MTP device? What make & model is your car stereo? Do you have access to a XP/Service 2/WMP0 computer?

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra won't turn

    My problem is exactly as the title states. I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (40 gig HD) and I cannot get it to power on. This problem has been occuring since yesterday evening. I try to plug it into the computer via the USB cable, but this does nothing. The same is true of plugging it into a wall outlet with the charger that came with it. I can't tell you what the firmware on it is, as I have no ability to view that.
    Any suggestions as to what I can try next?

    I have (and left it out for fi've minutes, per another suggestion in another thread). Thanks to both of you for your help, I'm in contact with Creative's customer support via email now (thankfully it's within the 90 day warranty period)

  • 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.
