NOMAD ZEN JUKEBOX USB 2.0 REFUSES TO CONNECT..PLEASE HE

hi i have a nomad zen jukebox usb 2.0 and everytime i connect it to any of my USB ports, i've tried connecting it to all 8 of em, it gives me a message on the taskbar that says "One of the USB devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"
I've tried everything from installing the latest drivers, to uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the drivers, i've pretty much exhausted everything i can think of, i lost the original CD that came with it so i've been installing the drivers by first downloading them off the nomadworld website, i've even updated my motherboard drivers, but nothing has seemed to work! if anyone could please offer me some advice on what to do, i would really appreciate it.
Thanks -Justin

You can try editing the registry but be sure to do a backup of the registry first in case something went wrong.
. Go to Start-Run and type in 'regedit' to start the registry editor application.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB.
3. Open up all those with Vid********. You should be able to see the device description name. Delete all those listings that are listed as unknown or contain Creative related device name.
4. Exit registry editor and try using the installation CD again.

Nomad Zen Jukebox dead battery - where to get fixed in Phoen

I have had a Nomad Zen Jukebox for several years. Sadly, after I got another player, I let this one sit for several months and now the Li-ion battery is dead. It's one of those 3.6 v batteries soldered onto the mainboard.
I li've in Phoenix. Anyone know where I can get the battery replaced locally? How about mail-in service?
Thanks for any assistance.

You should be aware that there are signifficant changes with upgrading ( or more apropiatly) changing your firmware version from one starting with a point somehting to a two point somehting firmware, and i would only advise you do it if you realy need to ( ie you need it to work on a windows Vista P.C)
there is a .30.somehting firmware for that player somewhere ( i think) that shouldnt be such a huge change.
goign to a 2.something firmware will:
make the Zen Xtra an MTP device that you can drag n drop stuff to, and it will also help intergrate it with other programmes such as widnows media player on p.cs that dont have the drivers ( i think)?
during the update process ( if it doesnt brick your Zen) everything on you hard dik will be completly wiped, all mucis, playlists and anny other files that you have stored on your player.
?As? with all firmware updates you should make sure that the battery is fully charged and the player is conected to the mains charger.
Updating toa ver2.something firmware is only possible on a windopws XP machine, and that XP P.C must be checked to make sure its is free from windows media player and windows media player runtim, you need to go to the control panel and select remove? on WMP then roll it back to windows media player 0, re-boot your XP p.c, then go back to add/remove programmes, remove Windows media player runtime ( roll back to windows media player ) re-boot your p.c then with a bit of luck the firmware will uipdate to the latest version.
In my opinion unless you realy want the Zen to act as an MTP device, and work on windows vista, theres not much to differentiate between the last ver firmware and the last ver2 firmware, read t6he link below ( if it still woks) and you should get an idea of the hassle i had when trying, then failing ( and eventualy suceeding) in updating the firmware on my Zen Xtra.

How to move mp3 files from NOMAD ZEN JUKEBOX to PC???

Hello there!
I have the creative nomad extra jukebox zen 30gb player. I have big trouble to move my mp3 to my pc! Is there any way to do this? I can do it with sync but some of the songs have the same name ( 0,02,03) and even when those songs are in folders,the software ( media source) dont recognize it this way-so it will skip the ones with same name and Ill loose some of the tracks. Is there any other way to move it all? or also to choose only certain mp3 files to be moved other software maybe? thank you very much!

Part numbers beginning with P are usually promotion items.
You can buy a stack of 'em & give to employees, grand openings, etc.
They are the same as regular retail iPod, just a different model number. http://www.apple.com/ipod/imaging/
Looks like you have a black, 30GB video iPod.
Here's a great place to start to learn how to use iTunes and the iPod.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/
I went to preferences and set the music file address to the folder which contains all of my MP3 files. I
That will tell iTunes to use this folder. iTunes does not "watch" this folder to see if anything is added. You have to add it to the library yourself and iTunes will put it in this folder under Artist -> Album.
If you IMport a file, it will convert it to the format set in teh iTUnes prefs. If you Add a file, it will simply add it to the library in the format it already is.
To get music into iTunes;
- insert a CD and select Import.
- click on iTunes Music Store and purchase songs.
- go to iTunes menu - File -> Add (Folder or file) to library and select the file/folder.
- Drag songs onto iTunes.
To get music onto the iPod;
- Plug it in.
Yeah, it really is that simple.
Easiest way to manage your library is to use iTunes.
Edit the ID3 tags, add delete songs and put them onto the iPod.

Creative Nomad Zen Jukebox issue with Vi

I have used this forum to get my Zen installed properly on the vista machine that i purchased recently. I then downloaded the Nomad explorer from Creative, and i can see all the songs in my player on my machine. The problem is that i am unable to copy the songs on my laptop. When i copy the songs, it shows that the copy is in progress and eventually nothing gets copied. I am really not sure what is happening...
Any ideas?

My understanding is that it wouldn't accept files over 2Gb. The problem with loading any large file is that if you have some problem with USB during the download it will fail.
Try splitting the file into significantly smaller chunks to see if this helps, say 00Mb.

*searching for nomad zen jukebox xtra 40gb

[sorry if this has been posted before,,,?I got tired of searching]?Well. I've had this player for over a year so it's basically an ancient artifact. But. Last month sometime it went into a coma. I don't know why but it went into a "rescue mode" screen with the 4 options (clean up, format, reboot, reload OS). I tried cleaning up and rebooting and then I reloaded the OS. I figured, "Ok no problem, I'll just go on the Creative site and download it again and everything will be fine."?WRONG. I don't want to "Format All" because i'll lose everything and who knows if the OS will be on there?So since i can't find the OS here, anyone know where?I can find it'sMessage Edited by shamille on 02-03-200706:28 PM

i'd like to say yes... well that didn't work. I tried it on 2 different computers and it didn't work. I tried both of them. basically what happens is that when it gets to the point where your player restarts... mine doesn't. I restart it manually and then it says that the setup is complete... but this doesn't work. remember mine has all that jukebox xtra stuff in its name... :robotsad:?sorry for replying sooo much later.

REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR NOMAD ZEN JUKEBOX 4

I know this player has been discontinued now but does anybody know where you can get a replacement battery from?
The player won't charge at all and I can't get any response from it when I use the AC Adapter either.

Ah, if the player doesn't come on with the adapter alone something else is wrong.
Is the adapter tip producing a voltage? You can check this with a multimeter.
If the adapter is OK then connect it to the player and press the tiny recessed reset switch on the side of the player. Use something like a bent paper clip, don't use anything sharp. Does this revi've the player?

Jukebox Zen 60GB USB 2.0 - Driver upda

I have the Zen Jukebox 60GB USB 2.0 purchased in Dec 03.Having recently got a new PC with Windows XP I am reloading software programmes.
I have decided to use the Redchair Notmad software due to the excellent reviews it is getting, Before using it, the Quickstart page tells me to update my drivers for the Jukebox Zen, but I am confused as to which one to update.
Should I download this one (which the Notmad link leads me to) --> v .2.0a
or this one (which seems to be more appropriate for a Win XP user):--> v.20.04c?
Also as I do not have any other Creatvie software now installed on my PC is there anything else I need to download? Firmware? (excuse my ignarance, am not very technically minded!)all suggestions will be welcome, many thanks

thanks for the speedy response
It was bought in a shop - it is marked 60GB on the face of the player. it looks like the one shown here http://www.nomadworld.com/products/j...n/features.asp except it is stamped "60GB" to the right of where it says "Nomad Jukebox Zen"
So which driver should i use? is it version JB3_PCWDRV_US__26_02.exe which I can access at
http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/...s/download.asp
thanks

Is it possible to replace a rechargeable battery of Nomad ZEN Ver. USB

Hi,
is there a possibility to change the build in battery for a Nomad ZEN Ver 2.0 USB
Does any one know where i CAN (BUY ONE)

You can try Googling for sources, although I noticed yesterday that all the Touch battery sources seem to have gone.
In theory Creative have a battery replacement service, so check with support.

Any USB device, compliant with USB mass storage protocol ! Does the zen jukebox nx quali

I am about to buy an otg sharing device to transfer files between two usb devices without the need for a pc. My question is does a jukebox nx qualify ? or what is it's pen dri'ves etc? ipods?

I don't think a Zen Jukebox NX would qualify; most larger Creative players require a separate driver. Pen dri'ves, most USB hard dri'ves, and MP3 players with dri've-letter capability (including nearly all MuVos plus the Zen Nano, Nano Plus, and Neeon) would certainly work; so would "removable disk" mode on the Micro, MicroPhoto, Sleek, and Zen 20GB.
I'm not sure if an iPod would work; it depends on whether its dri've-letter capability is built directly into the firmware (OK), or just exposed by the iPod drivers (no go). I don't own an iPod, so I'm not sure.

Nomad Zen USB 2.0, Napster to Go supp

I purchased a Nomad Zen USB 2.0 a few yrs back to download songs from Napster without having to burn to CD. I feel like that purchase/union of online service and player are inseparable however the new release of Napster to Go is not immediately supported by the Nomad Zen USB 2.0. I anyone else in my same state of mind?
Also, does anyone know if/when the Nomad Zen USB 2.0 firmware is going to be updated to support the Napster to Go service? Does anyone know what WMP functionality has to be implemented to support Napster to Go? What is the WMP functionality referred to by the technical developers?
Thanks in advance,
Jaye

your player wont support napster to go. there is a hardware component of the DRM that n2g uses that only exists on players manufactured from fall 2004 onward. we are led to believe that only current creative players (micro, touch, and xtra) will support this service.

Zen Jukebox won't cha

Hi
Got a bit of a conundrum and was hoping someone could help. I've got an old Zen Jukebox (the USB and FireWire one - yeah I know, very old skool), which was working perfectly up to a couple of months ago. It stopped charging itself if connected to the mains. It's not the charger, as I've tried both the one that came with and the one on my Playdock.
So I'm stuck charging by USB. No biggie, though I notice you have to turn it off (rather than just letting it run out of juice) for the charge symbol to appear. However, last night I was copying some music to it and it ran out of juice. It turn it back on to try to shut it down so it will charge, and it tries to rebuild the library, but runs out of juice half way through. No charging symbol. I leave it for a few hours for the battery to 'recover a bit', but it still can't make it through the rebuild. I try loading the rescue menu and shutting down from there. No charge symbol.
So I'm stuck in a Catch 22. I need more charge in the battery to get it through the rebuild - and I need to rebuild the library to get it to charge.
Any suggestions on how to get this going again will be gratefully received.
Neil

If the battery was flat when it was left it could well have left the battery in a state where it (a) has too low a voltage to be detected by the adapter or (b) is now broken.
See the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net, but beware "force charging", it can cause a battery to catch fire or explode in rare circumstances so do at your OWN RISK.

Windows XP driver problem - Nomad Zen Xtra and Zen To

I have both a Nomad Zen Xtra 60GB and a Zen Touch 20GB, both of which were working fine with my Windows XP Pro SP2 computer until a couple of days ago. I had recently put firmware 2.0.03 onto the Zen Xtra, and was using the drag-and-drop method in Windows Explorer to copy loads of albums across to it from my music folder. It seems I might have tried to copy too much over at one go, because eventually the file copying just stopped, and I had to unplug the Zen Xtra from the PC to abandon the copy process. Since then, neither Zen device has been properly recognised by any of my PCs. When I plug the Zen Xtra into?a USB port, Windows brings up the messages: "Found new hardware: Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra" and "Found new hardware: MTP device", then brings up the Found New Hardware Wizard, even though firmware 2.0.03 is supposed to provide "seamless support with any computer running Microsoft? Windows Media? Player 0 and Windows? XP - no drivers or software needed" (I have WMP0.00.00.4036 installed). The Zen Xtra's display does not show the "docked" icon except when plugged into my laptop (running XP Home Edition)... but even on the laptop Windows still asks for a driver, which it then fails to install properly. When I plug my Zen Touch into my PC, it detects that an MTP device has been connected, but Windows Media Player doesn't list it under the Sync tab, and when I try to install the "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players", the installer complains that "Setup could not detect any portable device on your system... please ensure that Zen Touch PlaysForSure Firmware is properly installed". The device's firmware version is 2..0, and as I have already said, both this and the Zen Xtra were working fine with my PC up until a couple of days ago. Additionally, the "docked" icon?no longer appears?on the Zen Touch's display when plugged into the PC. I have made the registry change suggested in Creative Knowledge Base Solution ID #9287, and my PC is up-to-date with Windows Hotfixes. I've also tried uninstalling all Creative programs and reinstalling them one at a time, but I can not get my PC to correctly work with the Zen devices anymore. Any suggestions? Also, is there some kind of Factory Reset that I can do to get my Zen Xtra back to an earlier firmware?

I had the same issue. My battery ran down during a sync, then I was unable to sync again.
The Zen is showing up fine in the device manager, but none of the software (Media Player, MediaSource) sees it.
Finally, after a day of trying new drivers, running cleanup, etc. I decided to go into the Zen's recovery menu. To get there, press and hold the Play button and press and hold the reset (use a paperclip) button while powering up.
Once there, select the first option in the menu to Clean up the system. I forgot what it's called and I'm in the middle of a sync now, so can't look.
Worked fine after that. Phew!
If your device is being detected fine, but cannot sync, try that and post here if it fixes it.

Problems downloading between Nomad Zen Xtra 40GB and PC (XP S

Help please
I've a new Zen Xtra and have installed all the software that came with it and then reinstalled as per the instructions given in another post.
I can see no sign of the drivers under the device driver although, not always, the PC pops up a message saying 'do i want to organise'. I can see my Nomad files in Nomad Explorer and Windows Explorer. i can even, sometimes, after each software reinstallation, even transfer a few, about 0 to 20, files before i get an error message telling me thw player is busy or disconnected. I have left the connection in place overnight but still no celarance.
Any ideas as I really feel like throwing the bloody thing out the window!
Thanks
Mark

Guys
Thanks for your responses. Sorry I haven't got back - been away a few days.
Situation is this.
new Nomad Zen Extra and Dell 3000 running XP SP2 52mb ram 40gb dri've.
Loaded software with Nomad and unable to sync or transfer. PC could 'see' nomad and read preloaded files but when any form of transfer tried I either got 'device not connected' or, occasionally, a few files would transfer before 'hanging'. Erroe message stated'device busy or not connected'.
Since then I have followed these instructions given in another reply on this forum to the letter.
Here is a step by step of what I would do to try to get back to square one and get MediaSource and the Driver installed.

) Disable any antivirus and background programs on your system and disconnect the Jukebox from USB
2) Go to control panel/add remove programs and remove both Mediasource and the Jukebox Driver
3) Reboot
4) Ensure AV and BG programs are still disabled
5) Search for any updated Chipset drivers for your motherboard (if you need help with this tell me your computer Mft. or your motherboard mft. and I will find out what you will need) and install them.
6) Reboot
7) Repeat step 5
8) Go to www.nomadworld.com and go to downloads/drivers and applications. Select the Jukebox Zen USB 2.0 and your version of Windows. Click get files. Download four files:
Jukebox Driver version .26.02</LI>
Creative MediaSource Software Update version 2.03.29</LI>
NOMAD JukeBox Type 2 Version .0.03 (English) Web Release</LI>
Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0)</LI>
9) While these are downloading, go into rescue mode on the player and run a cleanup. A reload OS will hopefully not be needed.
0) Install the files in the above order. You will plug the Jukebox Zen in at the end of the driver install to complete the install. Leave it connected all the way through the remaining ste
ps.
Disconnect after the last file is installed.
0) Reboot, reconnect the player and test.
Jeremy"
So I think of all the up-to-date firmware etc...
I've also loaded and installed WMP 0 - which can also see the Nomad and has transferred a few files before hanging as above...
I can also see the driver in my device drivers under usb controllers. the driver listed is Creative Labs .26.2.0
I have managed to transfer my tracks (3500+) to the Nomad by burning as MP3 cd's and loading through my works laptop (Win2000). I used the Creative Media Source on the original software which came with the Nomad to do this. This is not a great solution as my company aren't thrilled about such use of their lappies and it only has a 0gb hd and, therefore, doesn't / can't hold my music library.
I really want to get it working properly on my main PC so I can get the max from the Nomad.
Any ideas?
Sorry this is a bit long...

Creative MediaSource will not recognize Nomad Zen Xtra 30BG

Creative MediaSource will not recognize Nomad Zen Xtra 30BG? Hello, I am new to this forum and very frustrated, I own?a 30Bg Zen Xtra and all of a sudden MediaSource will not allow the transfer of files. Here are my specs and things I've tried to no avail:

Windows Media Player
Checking device manage it is recognized as a portable device, however it is not detected in WMP . Changed my USB permissions in the registry, downgraded WMP to version 0 (rebooted when prompted), upgraded the application software (uninstalled version 2.02.06?and rebooted?) upgraded?to version 5.20.23 as well installed the plug in, version 5.0.38, which now gives me and error while installing " setup is unable to detect?a supported product on your system, click retry....." tried the different USB ports on the pc as well as changing the cables. I do not know what else to do...any assistance will be greatly appreciated..thanks in advance.

Do you have the driver installed for the device?You can find that here.http://support.creative.com/download...ale=033&nPage= WMP is for MTP devices which the Xtra is not, There is a firmware update for the device HOWEVER updating to that firmware may just kill the player so I would not advise doing it since you have XP & you will be able to sync using MediaSource. Did you install the Creative Zen & Nomad Jukebox plug-in 5.00.22? Click on Show Details & read them before installing anything.
