Should I install "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSourc

I have the Play For Sure firmware on my Zen Touch, now I'm going to first install the driver on my computer, then install the creative media source, then the play for sure software suite, and then the media source CD plugin. Should I also install the Zen & Nomad Jukebox plugin afterward or that's only for ppl who haven't upgraded the firmware?
Thanks!

The "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource" is for those who have the non-PlaysForSure firmware. So, you do not need to install it.

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.

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!!!

Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
Please help me!!!!

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

Some plug-ins require the 32-bit version. If you are going to just use it as is, no plug-ins for devices, then th 64-bit version should be fine.

WINDOW VISTA AND NOMAD JUKEBOX

Hello !
I want to know if anybody out there can help me. A friend just gave me a nomad jukebox and from what i researched it is not compatible with windows vista. So my question is, what do i do with it? Or what can i buy to make it useful? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a great day.

Have you tried installing the newest version of Creative Centrale? That is the program that comes with the Creative MP3 players, and I used the application already in Vista and Windows 7 with no problems. Your mp3 player will be recognized by both Vista and Windows 7, but you will have to choose what software to use, and Centrale works pretty well once you get the hang of it.
http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0790
That software is for the Zen Mozaic MP3 player but it worked great with both of our mp3 players. I do NOT want to violate Creative's license agreement though, if KOK-CHOY or somebody else wishes to correct me.

Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?

I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure. The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA. Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other. For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home? Can anyone shed light on this process?
Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped? For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?

I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space.

Reinstalling should I install 8.5 and 8.6 or just 8.6?

A recent hard drive crash has forced me to reinstall everything from scratch.
So far I have installed:
LV 5.11 because still I have to maintain a huge LV 5.11 code base
LV 8.21 because 8.5 and higher will not open 5.11 code directly so I have to open and save it in 8.21 first.
I have 8.5 and 8.6 here.
Should I install them both or just skip 8.5 all together?
If the consensus is to skip 8.5 does anyone know where I can download the 8.6 installation disks?
I am not high enough in the corporate food chain to warrant a DVD drive in my computer.
My original 8.6 installation was from the pre-release email I received and that email died with my hard drive.

HI,
Thanks for the post!
I would just like to add you can download the evaluation version of LabVIEW 8.6 from ni.com and then as long as you have a valid serial number it will license to the full one. Obviously, this won't include the toolkits and modules from the DevSuite installer.
Also one way around this issue of not having a DVD driver, is to burn DVD images to a server, and then download them to your PC.
Kind Regards,
Kind Regards

Can't install Creative MediaSource on Vista

Even though I've plugged in my Zen, the Creative MediaSource installer claims that no supported device can be found.

I'd install iTunes on my computer before I'd install Vista and I <i>hate</i> iTunes.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon trying to help a friend's new computer to work with his older devices and programs.
Guess what? It's not just Creative that has problems with Vista- a <i>lot</i> of legacy devices do. He was pretty sad when he found out $600 worth of his stuff wouldn't work with his new computer.
Doesn't Vista at least come with a Compatibility Mode? :|

Creative Labs Zen NX Nomad Jukebox and Vi

Hey all- Hope I can find some help here.
I recently got a new system, and it is running Vista Premium. I have an older mp3 player that I got from my brother-a 30GB Zen Nomad NX Jukebox. I have installed all of the (very old)software on the CD that came with it. However, my problem is whenever I hook up my MP3 player, it says that there isn't a driver installed. I have gone on the download page and downloaded all of the driver software and installed it, but I still have this message come up.
When I check it on my computer, it says that my player isn't connected. Any help?

Creative Labs, with their large corporation mindset, apparently decided to pursue an ill-advised Marketing Strategy by not releasing a needed Vista driver for the many thousands of Zen NX players out there. This is no doubt due to GREED, because they seem to want to be selling additional thousands of their more recently released MP3 players.
No good for them. I'm confident a huge base of professional software developers will stop recommending Creative products to their corporate base due to this arrogance . . .

Zen Xtra nomad jukebox, harddisk probl

So my player finally crapped out on me for reasons unknown. It worked one day and then went kaput the next! I did a scandisk which did nothing but bring me back to the rescue mode menu v.3, Boot v.2 When I choose format all I get it showing "harddisk problems." I'm guessing there's nothing I can do about this, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Is it possibly related to firmware? Any help would be obliged!

Yeah now you know it for the next time :P
But anyway you might consider buying a new HDD in your local shop or i-netshop. You just need a 2,5" laptop HDD. A least that worked for me Now I have an unique Zen Xtra. With 00Gigs

Problem installing Creative Mediasource, please hel

I have a Zen micro but have lost the installationcd, so instead I tried downloading the programs off of the site, the problem is, when i try to install it I get an error message saying: Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Click the retry button to re-detect your device and continue the installation.Click the cancel button to go back to your windows desktop. This happens regardless of if I have the zen plugged into the computer or not....What is the problem? Does anyone have a solution for me please?I should add that I use Windows Vista....

Yes, it recognizes it on both lapto
ps.
.. Im not sure what firmware I have, how can I find out?
To check your Zen Micro's firmware version number:
. Turn on Zen Micro.
2. From the main menu, select System -> Information.
The firmware version number is indicated under Version
Vista requires the PlaysForSure firmware: Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02 (2.32 MB)
I don't use Vista, but I believe that you need to install firmware version 2.2.02 on a computer running XP first and once it's installed on your Zen Micro, it should be recognized by Vista.

Thank you for the reply split0,
as for the informati've post, thank you for the compliment, i tend to not open a thread at all unless i have spent enough time on the problem and searched around enough for solutions, and after that i only post if it has enough info regarding everything in inside the thread.
In regard to the known incompatibility list, unfortunatly this is one of the things i checked beforehand already.
The PCMCIA adapter in my laptop is a Texas Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus-controller.
Which is one of the most common controllers and should normally not cause any troubles at all, also in another thread on this forum i found a differant driver for it, i even tried that with no result sadly.
At the moment personally i am thinking the whole problem lies within not being able to uninstall the onboard sound card to full extent somehow, and while i posted here i also have all this info in a direct message sent to creative, and even acer for that matter.
In hopes of some kind of solution for this so i can keep my hopes up for not having to return the card itself.
What bugs me is that there is option at all to disable the onboard sound through the bios.
Because right now whenever i install the ZS notebook card it checks hardware for the onboard first installing it again, then setting priority for the zs notebook.
This is what seems to result in the crashes through a conflict in drivers in my idea, but thats just a hunch which i cant do anything about currently in regard to testing unless someone has an idea for me to try.

Should I install my Leopard now or wait a few more weeks for an update

Realizing that no one posts to these boards UNLESS they have a problem, I still am wondering if it is smart to wait a few weeks for an update or two. What do the experienced folks here think?
I am running my back up as I write so will be ready to go as soon as it completes if I decide to go ahead now rather than later.
And as a second question do the experienced folks recommend doing an upgrade or an archive and install - I'm thinking that an archive and install is the best but there seems to be some question among users here.

+"carbon copy cloner ... I assume it is pretty self explanatory."+
CCC is what I use and yes, its "pretty self explanatory" and pretty easy too. Don't forget to make sure you use the correct partition type, GUID for intel Macs and Mac OS for PPS Macs. This should be done before making the clone. Also, "verify" the clone by booting it before you do anything else.
+"...am a bit weary of my lack of knowledge and experience..."+
Don't let that stop you. You can't really screw anything up since the whole thing is happening on a backup drive. The whole point of this is to keep your current system safe and intact until you choose otherwise. "Knowledge and experience" is just a simple way of saying that you have made more mistakes than the next guy. That's how you get the knowledge and experience in the first place!
