PC not detecting my Nomad MuVo

I was pasing a music file and it froze, when I rebooted and tryed to verify if all my music was still in it just didnt detect it and have tryed to use it on other computers and have had no luck. I can still use it for listening to music but I andt conect it so that I can change the files I have in it. Please tell me that I can fix this!!!! Thanx.

Tried the recovery mode for the MuVo NX? Download the driver and firmware from http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers. Install the driver file. After you have installed the driver, press and hold the PLAY button, continue holding the button while inserting the player into the USB port for about 0-5 sec. Run the firmware update file and check/tick the 'Format Data Area' check box and click on 'Start'.

NOMAD MuVo not working after formating with Wind

Hi,
Yesterday, I formated my NOMAD MuVo player with windows (FAT32) and now it only works as a USB key. When I press on the play button the light turns to red and there's no sound.
I have neither the firware nor the drivers and when I try to install the firware it does not work (the software can't find the player that is plugged into the USB port).
Could someone please help me?
Thanks.

Have you followed the instructions on reloading the firmware at the download page? Often for MuVos there is a special procedure to follow (click "show details" next to the firmware download link).
Formatting as FAT32 can be a bad idea as some players don't recognise the file system.

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

Micro Muvo not detected on comuter.

Can anyone please help. I bought my Micro muvo N200 back in late October. I am a novice computer user. I had finally downloaded music onto it after tries from "musicmatch". For some reason now, I want to delete songs from my MP3 and add new one's but now my MP3 is not "detected". I've tried everything to the best of my knowledge and nothing..
Please help.
Albert

Thanks for the response... well the actual mp3 works great. the problem is that my computer or music match do not detect it even after downloading the disc again. I was told to go to control panel, systems, hardware, then to usb... to see if the computer detects it, when i did that there were several usb ports... but there was a particular one where the USB symbol actually had a red "X" going through it as if to say that it's not working. I also tried to download the firmware on the creative website and the response i got was " This device not connected to the USB port" I tried to download unplugged and plugged (the mp3) Thanks for your response and hope to hear from you VERY soon. (tired of dealing with this.. very frustrating )

Nomad model# DAPAGO1 "Could not detect HDD" error

;Hello,
I see that other people have posted this question but I haven't found any answers. Apparently there was an article about this error on a site called nomadness.com, but that site is now gone. However, the fact that there was an article about it leads me to believe that there may be a solution.
Any help?
The error message I get when I turn it on is:
Critical Error
Could not detect HDD
Shutting down
Thanks

Poking around a little more I see some suggestions about this error being caused when the batteries are too low. I was actually trying to use it plugged in but without batteries. I had put it away and so I took the batteries out. If these batteries don't work can I use regular alkaline batteries? If the HDD is actually bad (I found out that the article that used to be on nomadness.com was about how to replace the HDD) I'm just going to chuck it, but I'd like to see if it can be solved by charging or replacing the batteries.
Thanks

Problems Connecting NOMAD MuVo NX with Compu

I received a present from london. A Nomad MuVo NX. I'm having problems connecting it to the computer. My computer won't detect it at all. I installed all the programs and drivers and everything I could think of. I can't get an icon on the LCD screen saying that it's connected and it won't prompt me to install anything. I've also checked on my computer and it doesn't have an icon for it. It's not even showing up. I'm using a windows XP. Will be waitting for replies. thank you.

The MuVo doesn't need to install any drivers for Windows Me, 2000 or XP, as it should be detected as a USB mass storage device.
You can install the Creative software to rip CDs, and the software has features that help you work with the player such as "Smartfit", which helps compress files to fit on the player and save space.
But as for your problem, can you test with another PC to see if the issue is localised to your PC or to the player itself?

Nomad Muvo d

Is there anyway to fix this?
It seems my . When I press the Play button nothing happens, no matter how fresh the batteries are. I plugged it into the USB port on my computer and nothing happened for a long time. Then suddenly the light went red and it was recognized by the computer (well. . . sort of). I tried to open it and it showed that it was empty (it had songs on it earlier). I thought I'd reformat it, but when I tried File/Format, it did not work, nothing happened. There definitely seems to be some sort of IO error.
Is there anyway to reset this? To wipe it and recover?
I tried holding down the play button as I plugged it into the USB port, but that didn't do anything. And now it seems that the computer never sees it (and the red light on the Muvo never comes on).
I must say, for the price I paid for it, I certainly expected it to last much longer than this. I have an old 2G iPod that is still going strong that I got before the Muvo.
Is there any hope?

Tlongacre,
Have you tried updating the firmware on your MuVo yet? If not follow these steps to get the firmware updated and see if the player starts working again.
) Go to www.nomadworld.com and select downloads/drivers. On the next page select your OS and then Nomad MuVo. Click "Get Files"
2) Unplug the MuVo and Download and Run the Nomad MuVo Driver Update. Once the driver is installed, plug in the MuVo and let Windows detect and install new hardware.
3) Unplug the MuVo and plug it back in while holding down the play/pause button for 0 seconds. If Windows finds new hardware then let it automatically install it. Then download and run the Nomad MuVo Firmware Update located here: http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/firmware/wma-muvo.asp?nProdID=437&sProd=NOMAD%20MuVo
4) If it says that the data area is not initialized at any time press the ok button. Put a checkmark in the Format Data Area Button and then press start.
5) When it is finished press close and unplug the MuVo.
Test the player and see if it starts working again.

My Nomad MuVo NX holds only 8

My Nomad MuVo NX claims a storage capacity of 256 MB. But when I transfer mp3 files to it from my PC, the transfer stops at about 80 MB, displaying a message that the player is full. The transfer attempts to continue, but just displaying ERROR for each remaining selected file.
I've tried initializing the player, but a file transfer afterwards still has the same apparent limit. I also tried converting to WMA files, but the transfer still stops when 80 MB is reached.
So is my player defecti've? Or am I just misunderstanding something?

Elmulti,
Distributing the files between several folders works! I divided 235MB of mp3 files between seven folders, and was able to transfer it all to the player. The average file name was about 40 characters in length. Without subfolders, the root directory seems to have a capacity of about 80MB, unless the file names are very short. So subfolders seem to be the solution to my problem.
However, although I don't care much anymore at this point, I am still not able to update the firmware. When I connect the player to the USB port without holding down the PLAY button, Windows detects it and I am able to transfer files to it. But when I execute the firmware upgrade file (MuVoNX_PCFW_US_l_30_09.exe), it displays the message "Searching for devices connected to the system", and nothing more happens. Similarly, when I try the Software AutoUpdate, I get a message saying "Creative Software AutoUpdate was unable to detect any Creative products attached to your computer".
In answer to your other questions) I initialized the player by using the INITIALIZE feature in the Creative MediaSource Organizer.(2) This is a new player, so it has never worked any other way.(3) No, I haven't yet tried connecting the player to a different PC.
But using several folders is a satisfactory solution for me. It's a little bit of a hassle, annoying especially because none of the manuals or HELP information say that the player has such a requirement, but I can li've with it.
So, problem solved! Thanks.

Zen Stone Plus not detected by software - GRRRRR

Hello all
A month ago I bought the Creative Zen Stone Plus.
I was quite happy to go with Creative because I had been the happy owner of a Creative MuVo player for a few years. The MuVo was remarkably straightforward to use. The only problems I experienced were occasionnal freezes of the software during file transfer. Nothing major. I lost count of the number of times I recommended this product to others, usually as a cheaper but just as good alternati've to the iPod.
However, I am beginning to have serious doubts about Creative.
This is the problem:
- The player cannot be seen in Creative Media Lite.
- In Devices Manager, "Creative Zen Stone Plus" appears under devices category "Other devices" and has a yellow question mark next to it.
In other words, I have had the Zen Stone Plus for a month and it has never worked !
From my exchanges with Technical Support (email) and from the knowledge base (eg # 9287,
and 4782) and from this forum, I have tried several things such as
- deinstalling (actually rolling back) then reinstalling Windows Media Player (to get MTP drivers installed)
- downloading the Iomega patch
- I downloaded the player recovery tool (the one with the red button) but when I click on it, I get the message "Player not detected. Do you want to retry"
I found two dead ends in the technical support articles I read:
- I decided to make changes to the registry, as one article suggested that the problem may be due to USB permissions. So I typed 'regedit' but the compuer would not accept this command.
- I also decided that I would change the firmware, as another article suggested. How on earth do I do this. I downloaded the firmware for my player but I do not know how to enter the Recovery Mode. It is not clear from the Recovery page (KB ID # 4794) whether my device is 'ZEN' or a 'Zen Series'. I treid the procedure for both and neither worked !
I'm beginning to feel like I've wasted my money. I had been thinking about buying a Creative player for my sister and also a friend. Now I won't bother, even if this problem is solved. I consider myself to be IT literate but how does Creative expect technically illiterate people to cope with its products !
Can anyone help me to make the Zen Stone Plus work? Otherwise, I'll consider it to be a **bleep** Stone and flush it down the toilet, where it belongs.
Andy

-. Hello Seb_tokyo,
Welcome to Creative forums!
When you plug in the ZEN stone, your device manager list should refresh. Besides under USB controllers, did it detect anything when you plug it's You can also try the following:
.) Unplug/replug the USB cable and connect it to the rear USB port instead of using front ports.
2.) If you have another USB cable, try using a different one and see if it works.

Nomad Muvo "Rewi

All,
I recently got a Nomad Muvo (just plain Muvo) from Audible.com, and this is my question:
Does the Rewind/Fast Forward on the Muvo just really suck?
or
Is there something wrong with mine?
When I try to rewind, what ends up happening is that the audio sort of stutters, and I can wait for it to stutter around 5 or 6 times and it'll still be maybe ONE second past where I started. If I wait just a few moments longer, it has suddenly rewound a pretty large amount, like 30 seconds to a minute, at least. It isn't like a CD player where it rewinds pretty smoothly and you can more or less tell where in the track you are. The pamphlet I got with the player said that holding the rewind button down was the right way to rewind, and the longer you hold it down, the faster it goes...but this is pretty ridiculous, it's either go back half a second or a whole minute. Has anyone else experienced this, or does it sound like there's something wrong with my Muvo?
I have updated the firmware--no dice. Same deal. I don't want to sound like I'm slamming it, because I really like the device a lot, it's really handy for audio books in particular, but this rewind issue is really a pain. I know it's a small, inexpensi've device, but honestly the way mine is, rewind as a feature is kind of useless...and since when is rewind a feature, I'd expect it to be a given that you can rewind through a track in a way that's useful.
By the way, I seem to be seeing a lot of posts about Muvo's suddenly just not working out of nowhere, after a few weeks. Is that a common thing, an old firmware thing, current issue, etc.
Thanks...

Joymbeer--yeah, it is extremely irritating. The closest workaround I've found is if I hear it "stutter" 0 times or more, it's gonna jump back a lot further than I want it to. What ends up happening is I do the "let it stutter 6 or 7 times" thing several times to get back to somewhere (remotely) close to where I want. So I end up spending a lot of time to go back say, 0 seconds. It's still really inadequate and as I said before, borderline useless as a feature.
Why do we usually rewind? Either we liked something we heard and want to hear it again, or we misunderstood something and need to hear it again. If we can only easily rewind about one second, then what's the point? It takes a second for you to realize you NEED to rewind, and maybe longer to get to the button. So basically, you can only easily rewind to, BEST case, the point at which you REALIZED you needed to rewind! Since I got the Muvo for free (and the fact that they can afford to give you one of these things with a $4.95 subscription fee should have told me something), I deal with it--you get what you pay for, I guess.
Jeremy-CL, it's useful to know that this is normal behavior, and useful to know that this is the same way Audible's Manager works--I haven't tried listening on my PC, so I'll take your word for it. I'd disagree with your description: it'd be more accurate to say that for the first few seconds that the button is held down, it rewinds in TINY, INFINITESIMAL segments. It definitely doesn't allow you to review recent moments quickly, maybe a recent SECOND, but no better than that. I'm not knocking you, but I have to wonder if you've actually tried using one of these things with Audible content. If it worked the way you described, it'd be fine. Anyway, frustrating/useless behavior that is considered normal is still frustrating and/or useless. At least I know that my Muvo isn't broken.
I don't know who to blame--Audible, for distributing a product that doesn't fully support their format, or Creative, for not fully supporting a format that they claim to support. Either way, it's ridiculous. I know Audible has their own proprietary compression scheme (more likely mp3 or wma with their own license management system), but come on, how hard could it possibly be to write some code to enable a proper Rewind function? Maybe an afternoon's work, at most? I guess there aren't enough people that use their Muvos mostly for Audible content that it's worth the effort--it's a reasonable notion, since Creative didn't exactly develop the Muvo for Audible. If Audible's employees write the software to support their content, then they need to get off their tails and do it properly. If it's Creative's guys that are in charge of doing that, then Audible needs to get on their case about it, since it's their customers that are getting schtupped. Somebody's half-ace-ing this in a big way. It makes Creative look bad, because if your devide doesn't work the way you believe it should, who do you immediately blame? The company that made the device, whether it's justified or not--every other Creative product I've ever bought has been great. It is a shame, because I really dig the Muvo, you can't really beat the form factor, and it is more frustrating because I know that it's probably not a hard issue to fix--write some code, offer it in a firmware upgrade, and you're done. If the Rewind feature worked well, I'd be telling all my friends to get one of these things. Anyway--I've gone on far too long.

Nomad MuVo won't conn

I plugged my Nomad MuVo into my USB to download Audible files. The audible manager continues to state that the MuVo is not connected when it clearly is. This is the same port that my other devices use with no problems. My Canon camera and my Otis player both use the same port with no trouble being recognized. I formatted the device and I took it to another computer that runs on windows XP ( my home computer runs on windows 98) and the MuVo worked fine so it is not the device. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi I just solved my problem. Instructions: After installing the software and tearing out all your hair and submitting angry requests for tech support, PUT THE CD BACK IN and tell it to install the Muvo software AGAIN. It comes up to a completely different screen announcing "installing drivers", and everything is smooth from then on.Message Edited by lifespurpose on 0-2-2004 06:48 AM

Nomad Muvo 128

On Nomad MuVo 28mb, can it record the FM? Does it use a compact flash disk for extra storage?

Elisats,
The MuVo 28MB does not support FM. It uses solid state memory that is built into the player itself and is not upgradable. If you are looking for a player with the ability to be upgraded with SD or MMC cards and FM tuner/recorder then I think the MuVo Sport C00 is the player for 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).
