Vista Support for Jukebox Zen X

My new desktop has Vista but now I find that there are no drivers for my 60GB Zen Jukebox
Has anyone come across any please?
Plus as the Zen has greater than 40GB of music any recomendations for a replacement as Creative don't seem to have ones with big enough disks anymore?
Thanks

I haven't moved my Zen Xtra to Windows Vista yet, but I have seen a number of threads on the topic here. I'd recommend you do a search on Zen Xtra Vista Driver and you'll some hits.
As far as getting more than 60GB on your Zen, I was able to upgrade mine to 00GB by installing a new hard dri've. The Zen Xtra uses a standard size laptop hard dri've.
Here's a link to my earlier post describing what I did: [url="http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=4656">Upgrading my Zen Xtra[/url]
I'm quite happy with the results.

No Vista support for Sle

I see on the driver availability chart that there's apparently "no plan" to offer Windows Vista drivers for the Zen Sleek. What? The Sleek was only released last summer! Come on Creative, I've been a loyal customer - don't tell me that if I want to upgrade Windows I have to ditch my (perfectly working) Sleek!?

Alex: I PMed you the info about running the Xtra in Vista (mainly what to look for on your firmware version and software on your system.) As for the JB3, unfortunately it's well into "obsolete" at this point, I think it was released nearly 5 years ago, maybe more. It was never designed to work with anything like Vista, as Vista was still a twinkle in Microsoft's eye.
A possible solution, the one I personally would use, would be to set up a virtual machine on your system running an older OS, like XP or maybe Win2k, and use it to run the player. Vmware is good for this, as would some other virtualization software I'm sure. I don't have a JB3, so I can't test it myself, but I see no reason it would not work.

Vista support for 6310i ?

Some time ago, Nokia announced a Vista Compatible version for PCSuite. However, the Website of my 6310i still indicates only Modem Drivers, but no software to synchonize with Outlook under VISTA.
Is there such VISTA compatible Software available?
When will it come, are there workaroud?
What is currently the latest XP PC Suite for 69810i (supporting also ServicePack 2!)
Thanks for any hints.
Carlo

Unfortunately the 6310i is not supported in newer versions of pc suite. Support for this model stopped a few years ago.
It is highly unlikely that support for this phone will be included in future versions due to the age of the phone.
You could try a 3rd party application like oxygen phone manager to connect to your phone, you can find this using google.

Windows 7 Support Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra

I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra MP3 player. The hard dri've crashed on my old computer ( which used the wiindows XP operating system). I bought a laptop which uses Windows 7. I don't seem to be able to find a way to access the MP3 player with the windows 7 computer. I don't need?a lot of functionality. I would be happy to put tags on MP3 files with some other software, if only there was a way to get this laptop to talk to the MP3 player. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed

If you can find a PC running Windows XP with Windows Media Player 0 installed you can install the?Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 - this will turn the player into an MTP device so you will not need to install any special drivers/software to copy music or other files to it (as long as the computer has Windows Media Player 0 or later installed - so Vista or 7 will be fine, as will up-to-date versions of XP).
I could not get the firmware installer to work with Windows Media Player installed on XP (it claims the player is not plugged in) but Windows Media Player 0 works reliably. As Windows Vista comes with WMP and Windows 7 with WMP 2 you'll need to find an XP machine to install the firmware, though once installed you can use the player with any modern OS.
As I run Vista on my PC I had to resort to installing XP in VirtualBox to run the firmware installer but I would strongly recommend trying to find a real PC before resorting to emulators!
Edit: If possible, back up your files before updating the firmware - if I remember correctly updating to the PlaysForSure firmware does delete all of your existing files, but even if I haven't remembered correctly it's worth doing just in case..!

Moderators: Full Vista Support for Bundled Softwa

I was wondering if creative was going to make available Vista upgrades for all the Software included with the X-Fi Platinum card and i/o dri've, especially Smart Record and the Mixer? I just bought this card after Christmas and now find that all the software is non-existent. The beta version falls way short of the software included with the card. Thanks

It has been said before, but they will update the software to work in Vista AFTER the main work on the driver is done. ETA? Around summer 2007.

I bought a USB external Surround 5. last week which had a Creative Labs sticker on it saying "Vista Ready - go to www.creative.com to download drivers". Yet having done so I discover that most of the features on the box do not work.
I want it for 5. sound and soundfonts - but both these are missing. If these are not going to be supported (and soon!) please can Creative confirm this. Then I will take it back to the shop (PCWorld UK) and advise them that is DOES NOT DO what it says on the box. I will tell them that they should peel the stickers off - because it is clearly not true that it is Vista ready!Message Edited by markburleigh on 04-27-200704:38 PM

Russian Language support for the Zen Mic

Can we get a russian language support in the next firmware update?
I have many songs, that I can not see the name of, because the Zen does not support Russian/Cyrillic alphabet.

it doesn't support Russian ID3 tags on my Zen Xtra or within updated software - Creative MediaSource 2.03.29 or Nomad Explorer 3.0.0. If anybody knows how to fix it - please let me know!

VISTA Support for Multiple Dual Quad Core Processors

Sorry if I missed this in my search.
Does Windows Vista Home Basic support dual quad core processors?
Windows Help & Support:
Under System, you can view the processor type and speed, as well as the number of processors installed, if your computer uses multiple processors.
Yet I see no mention of multiple processors there -- what am I missing?

Hi -g,
all Windows Home versions (XP and Vista) only support one physical prcossor with multiple Cores.
Windows Professional versions (XP Professional and Vista Business+Ultimate) support two physical processor with multiple Cores each.

Vista Support for Zire 71

My OS is Vista 32 bit and I downloaded the Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to sync my Zire 71. After Syncing, the message tells me everything went OK but none of my information from the handheld was transferred to the Desktop.
When I went through the initial setup for the Desktop I mistakenly put a different user name than what was on the handheld. There was a message that there could be a problem but I couldn't go back to change the user name in the software. So I went ahead and completed the HotSync. Then I changed the user name to match the new name. That didn't work. I went back and changed to the original user name...still didn't work.
I suspect my original data was saved somewhere (there is a backup file) but I can't find it and even new entries into the handheld do not get Synced to the Desktop.
Any suggestions?

Which version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit?

Audible Support for Creative Zen

Hi there,?I have just purchased Creative Zen Wav from the following site.
?http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/crea...uilt-speakers/?The device has arri'ved, the sole purpose I bought this one is to listen to Audible audio book.
There seems to be quite a lot of Creative devices on Audible's supported device list, along with the following keyword on the site. ......[*]Supported Music Services: Audible Ready.
<[/list]...... It turn out, however, that this device has not yet supported Audible audio format. I suggest Creative put a very clear keyword on the advertisement or product description (esp. on the Compare page) saying "This device DOES NOT SUPPORTED Audible audio (yet) ."???

DM,
I agree. I'm sure the other players were in the works or close to being ready to release when these came out. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I was so disappointed when the Zen Touch was not added to Audible after I was told before purchase it would be, so now I aggrevate Creative about Audible. I do hope they add Audible support to the new players. I hate that I bought the ZSP and then it won't be Audible compatible. I like the Zen Vision M.

Audible for Jukebox Zen Xtra 4

I have Windows XP professional
I have firmware version 2.0.03
It won't allow me to transfer downloaded audible files to my zen xtra. The computer does recognize the MP3 player, but when I try to drag and drop files from audible to the mp3 player, it states that .aa files are not recognized.
Help?

Hi,
It sounds like you're not using the Audible manager to transfer the files to the Xtra. I have a Zen Xtra 40gb player and use Audible with it. Add it as a device inside of Audible Manager, then transfer the file using Audible Manager. And, like the other reply suggests, make sure you have the latest version from Audible.
Hope that helps,

Petition | Audible support for Zen To

Folks,
This is a petition for Audible support for the Zen Touch with MTP/Janus firmware (2.xx). Please sign if you are interested in audible support for the Touch.
Thanks.

SIGNED!
Its true the Touch could use audible support, a while ago i suggested a similar function, putting a Line-in input on a separate adapter to record to the player, but no such luck.
It seems that Zen Touch, which is a FANTASTIC piece of hardware has been forgotten about, the recent Firmware upgrade has yielded some support back to the Touch. But as many Zen Touch users would probably agree, the support on optional hardware for the Touch has been really limited. I think before support the Zen Touch diminishes, there should be a few more upgrades made available.

Nomad jukebox zen xtra driver for use with Vista 32 b

Hi,
I just registered in an attempt to find a solution to using my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra player with Windows Vista 32 bit operating system. Unfortunately, my old computer died and all was lost so when I purchased a new computer I naturally went with the most recent operating system, it never occured to me that my wonderful MP3 player would be considered obsolete (my various printers are all much older than my mp3 player and they all work just fine, my multiple?digital cameras too) anyway, I am running around in circles and I would not consider myself highly technical. I cannot download the latest creative firmware because without a driver my device is not recognized, and thus, creative will not complete the download since my device is not recognized...... when I go to microsoft to look for "nati've drivers" as suggested by Creative somewhere in the maze I have been stumbling through, the link I found in a search on Microsoft's website sends me to a creative labs link that...interestingly....no longer exists.... I sent an email to customer support, but they happily sent me a form letter stating that my warranty is out of date so they have no assistance to offer unless I pay for a half hour of their time in advance, and I find it odd that I should pay money to risk being told that they have chosen not to support this device, because if I pay money to hear that I will immediately hate this company, and I don't want to throw in the towel just yet, anyway, another option stated in the form letter was to use this forum, so I am trying really hard to state the circumstances of my dilemma in a fair and open way. It seems to me that with all the energy that was put into that form letter, they could have written a letter that would address this issue directly as I cannot fathome that I am the only one with this problem. So, per the suggestion of the form letter, I am here to ask if anyone knows of a solution to making a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra work with Windows Vista 32 bit operating system.....if there is none, then at least I will hear about it without paying Creative money to tell me so. If I should post my request to a different thread/topic area?on the forum, that information would be greatly appreciated too as I have never used a forum before and alot of the information on this site is more technical than I am used to. Thank you to anyone that can offer some guidance or a clear solution. Signed by a baffled Creative customer....Dani

Try reading this thread. I had the same problem and the solution worked for me. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...a&message.id=7?

Creative Media Player for Creatuve Jukebox Zen

?I have an old Zen Jukebox and I used Creative Media Player to put music onto it from CDs. Unfortunately some time ago my computer completely died and I'm unable to retrieve anything off it. I have searched everywhere for the disc and can't find it.
I have downloaded the current available options (3 and 5) but when I plug in my MP3 it is not recognised.
I haven't been able to add music for some time. On contacting customer support they said they were sorry but couldn't help.
I am thinking about finally buying a new MP3 (it will be a Creative) and I want to be able to transfer EVERYTHING from my old one to my new one. Even if i don't get a new MP3 there are loads of songs and CDs I want to?add to my old one?
Can anyone help with how to make the newer CMPs recognise my Zen, or where i can find the origional CMP?
Thanks for your time, people.

Older Creative HDD-based players with special drivers (PDE), such as the Jukebox Zen,?were not supported past Windows XP. [url="http://mrinternet.wordpress.com/2007/03/0/creative-zen-nx-and-vista-working-together-finally/" rel="nofollow">This site[/url]?(thanks coachop94) describes someone's effort to get PDE drivers to work in Vista; try at your own risk. If that doesn't work, you'll have to transfer your files off the Jukebox Zen using an older computer (XP or earlier).
Also, if you have MediaSource 5 you should also have installed the appropriate plug-in from the Jukebox Zen support page.
