Nomad Jukebox 3 doesn't play anything I sel

Whenever I try and choose an album or song on my player and I press "play now" the player doesn't do anything. I have tried resetting the player, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any clue what the problem might be?

Lorba73,
You can try a cleanup of the music library to see if this helps you. Try this article:

Please help: My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything.

My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything. The songs do exist physically on the device.
I tried updating the iPOD but still the problem was not solved.
Is there any way by which I can play the songs without downloading them again on iPOD?
Windows XP Pro

I just had the same exact problem. It's like the Nano was forwarding thru the songs by itself..nothing would play!
So I went and looked at the manual, which suggested I try resetting it first. I did, and it worked! Here's what I did:
The manual instructed me to turn the "hold" switch on & off. Then it said to hold down the Menu and center button at the same time, until the Apple logo appeared. Then in a few moments the main screen came back on...and I was able to play songs again.
Hope this works for you, good luck!

I'm able to open itunes but it doesn't play anything selected

I am able to open itunes but it does not play anything selected. I have rebooted my Samsung laptop but problem remains. I use Windows8. It was playing ok two days ago.

It may be a corrupt / damaged download
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

Lately, Quicktime doesn't play anything.

I noticed Quicktime no longer plays anything. (I can use other applications for playback). I just checked and am still running QT 7.6.4, maybe that has something to do with it? I'm going to download, install and report back…

I downloaded the update and am good to go.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra play and share update probl

I have a jukebox Zen Xtra and I tried to update it for the play and share so it will work on my xbox 360. When I went to update the firmware everyone was going good and then it rebooted and stayed at the recovery menu and just stopped. I tried reconnecting it and it registers that it is connected to the USB for a second then it says device not connected. How do I get it connected again, or what am I doing wrong. I just want to update it so I can use it on my Xbox. How do I get it to update right? Thanks.

Manning888,
Which firmware are you referring to Assuming you are referring to the PlayForSure firmware, make sure you have Windows XP with at least SP and WMP0 installed. Also, you can try looking into this Knowledgebase article SID0053.

I've tried all the options in gmplayer, they all don't work. I'm assuming the command line carries out the same functions. I've tried a couple (but not all) and they didn't work either.

ALSA and WINE: Doesn't play audio on 32-bit prefix

I have made a 32-bit prefix for WINE, however the sound does not seem to work whilst on a 32-bit prefix. I have installed the lib32 packages that the Wiki page has told me to install, however it does not play audio. One of the programs I have installed shows that music is indeed playing, however there is no sound being outputted. Winecfg's audio test doesn't play anything.

Thanks for the reply,
I can confirm that I have all six of those packages installed on my system.
For some reason, WINE outputs this when Test Sound is clicked, unsure if it relates to the audio issue or not.

IMovie '11 v9.0.9 Does Not Play Anything

iMovie '11 v9.0.9 doesn't play anything. It won't play projects, it won't play events from the library. Nothing. When it starts, it asks to generate thumbnails. I select yes, and it does nothing for hours. The activity monitor shows < .5% CPU usage during that time.
I'm running iMovie '11 on a Late 2006 24 inch 3 GB RAM with 1.5 TB free hard drive space on OSX 10.7.5 with all updates completed.
Suggestions are gladly welcomed.

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.

Hi
Please describe How You go from PPT to iDVD. Via iMovie ?
If so - then convert Your .wma file to .aiff (same kHz) and use this in iMovie instead. (no .mp3 either)

I am experiencing a similar problem in Windows 7 64bit. Since my laptop has a 128gb SSD, I have loaded my iTunes library on to an external drive. I can sync my iPhones and iPads from this library, and the songs play fine from those devices. However, when I select a song from my library, and click the play button, nothing happens. iTunes does nothing. I have also tried right-clicking mp3s in my library and selecting "Play", with no results. I do not receive an error message of any kind.
I have also noticed that some of my mp3's within iTunes denote the Time as 00:00. The same mp3's will play and register properly using other mp3 players on my computer, and they also play normally on my iPhones and iPads.
I am running Windows 7 x64 on a Lenovo T530, in iTunes 11.1.3. Everything else in iTunes appears to function normally. I can listen to internet radio stations without an issue, through iTunes, and they play as they should. I have tried three different external drives, with different drive formats, and they all have the same issue. If I copy my iTunes library back to my internal drive, iTunes will play my mp3s.
I did not have this issue with iTunes 10, so I am assuming it is something that has occured within the last few updates.
Has anyone found a fix for this? Unfortunately, I am forced to use iTunes 11 because of my iOS devices, otherwise I would revert to iTunes 10.

Firefox doesn't play video and audio, cann't download anything!

A very strange problem occurred a few days ago. I didn't pay attention on it at first ( I thought it was caused by my provider) but now I found that it's a real problem. Firefox doesn't play video or audio. For instance, it starts loading and that's all. The same is with playing music. In addition, I can't download any files and view a big image as quick as early.
What is more interesting sometimes Firefox just begins to work in ordinary way.

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

The Music player on my iphone 4 doesn't actually play anything

Music, podcasts, whenever I try to play anything in the music app, the timer stays at 0:00 when I press play. Any other part of the app acts like it's playing something, but it isn't. Other apps work (Video). It's just the one app, but It won't let me delete or reinstall it.

im facing the same problem in my iphone4. i select any song in the music player, it only skips the song and the next song comes which is also skipped without being played for a second. so yeah basically it skips all the songs. i tried the reset. dint help !

Touch vs. Nomad Jukebox (yes, the ORIGIN

I am getting antsy and bored waiting for the Touch firmware to be released. I was looking for a game and saw my good ol' reliable blue nomad jukebox sitting on the shelf. I gave it good hug. For over fi've years that CD-player sized original HDD based MP3 player has gone everywhere with me. Until a few weeks ago when i bought a Zen Touch.
I scoured the net, comparing the Zens to iPods to Rios to Ri'vers. In the end, my personal experience (happy ) with creative made me choose the Touch in the end.
Everyone likes to compare the Touch to the iPod, calling it the "iPod killer." Well let me tell you something, oh my brothers, that overweight blue monster with its 6 hours of battery life is the Touch killer. Hell with why the Touch is better then the iPod, lemme tell you why the Nomad Jukebox (C, or DAP as you care to call it) is better than the Touch:
My current "listening on a daily basis" music library come in at about 3.5GB. That's music i like to hear every day. That's plenty to fit on a Jukebox, and obviously on a Touch as well</LI>
I'm out on a research farm for about 5-7 hours a day. Both the 6hr Jukebox and the 24hr Touch battery deli'ver.</LI>
The Jukebox has fully functional EAX settings, the Touch doesn't</LI>
With a set of surround headphones, i can have 4 channel surround on the Jukebox. Stereo only on the touch.</LI>
The Jukebox has a three band EQ with programmable crossover frequency. The touch has built in EQ and a faulty programable one.</LI>
The Jukebox has a tree structured queue list, and individual items can be removed or added. Nothing like that on the touch</LI>
Pushing UP/DOWN simultaneously allows quick scrolling, and there's a page up/page down function on the Jukebox - the lists also wrap so you can go from top to bottom easily. Scroll, wait, wait, and wait on the Touch. If you're at the bottom of a big playlist... well, forget it.</LI>
Play mode available directly from Current Track screen.</LI>
All i need is a microphone to record lectures on the Jukebox. The touch requires an external part to do that.</LI>
I choose what comes up when the jukebox starts, and what volume. That way i don't scream bloody murder going from my car to my headphones.</LI>
Tracks, artists, and albums starting with 'the' have 'the' ignored on the Jukebox. The Clarks is filed between Chumbawumba and Coldplay on the JB.</LI>
Sleep and wakeup timers on the Jukebox.</LI>
Hardware settings on the Jukebox let me choose between it running like a Beetle Diesel, getting 56 mpg, or a Ferrari Testerozza, and getting single digit mileage.</LI>
No "push me to play everything and screw up your playlist" button on the Jukebox.</LI>
What advantages does the Touch have over my Jukebox?
Higher SNR (98 vs 96 i think, cant find Jukebox spec)</LI>
Smaller</LI>
Better battery life</LI>
Promise of better firmware</LI>
I'm an audiophile-geeky-gadget guy. I own 99.98% the MP3's i have on my PC. NapsterToGo, Y!MU, amongst others are appealing to me, as i refuse to 'stick it to the man' by illegally pirating music. You say only the record industry is getting screwed over - don't forget the musicians have a paycheck too. Hoping for support, just like we got support when DRM first came to be for our JB's, our Zen's and such, i loyally bought your Touch. I even remember the combo beta/stable firmwares.
When a product that you made over fi've years ago has more features, functions, and capabilites than something you've released recently - that's quite a tradgedy.
I remember a bus ride sophmore year in HS, my first MP3 player. The night before i spent hours ripping the songs to the player until 5am. It was cool, people were amazed, i sold them on this "thing" that held every song that they owned. It was both 337 and Chic.
Now people see the Touch and ask, "is that the new iPod?"
I found that sales is like a marriage. You need a first impression, you need your customer to fall in love with the product, and you need to keep them interested as long as possible. Well, after fi've years... i want a divorce. I won't buy an iPod - Apple will lose share because of their control-freak nature on their products. But i won't be buying Creative products anytime soon, or even again.
This message was a bit of humor to begin with - i started fiddling with my JB this evening. Then it got me to thinking, what happened to the creative that used to post new drivers/firmwares/updates every week or so? Where'd they go?
Where's that old Creative Labs that was just that... Creative?
EDIT: I thought you might like to know that the FW on the JB is 4.0/2.98beta... the last dual boot beta creative put out. Still available on the Nomadness.net site

When i first got my JB, it had battery life comprable to an iPod, about 2 hours. With the ability in later firmwares to tweak HD settings, i could extend it to about 6 with minor inconviences like load time and some gapping.
It depends on the files though. With 28kbit/s MP3s you would get about 4 hours, maybe more with higher capacity batteries.
At the time, the only other portable audio was CD, and think of how many people still have and use CD players. True it was a projectile weapon...
Actually I liked that its form factor was similar to a CD player. It meant getting cases was easy, although I went for the skin case.
And i liked the NiMH batteries, they could be used in anything, and they lasted much, much longer than alkaline. You know why the JB says "Use only Creative NiMH?" One, so you didn't recharge alkaline cells; two, alkaline cells ran the player for <EM>maybe</EM> and hour and a half, to
ps.
They were certainly worried about using the wrong batteries in it, although of course any NiMH batteries, ideally high capacity, work.
Oh, and i booted the JB and Touch (cold boot)... took about the same amount of time. Touch was a 'touch' faster.
Not if you add content to the NJB though. Every time you change content it has to rebuild the library.
