  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Nomad Jukebox zen nx : library does not load in

    After replugging my Nomad Jukebox Zen Nx (.00.05e) to my computer, CMS(3.0.09) did not recognize the player. I followed the tips on this forum and installed the latest drivers and plug-ins.
    Now the player appears in the device manager, but the library loads at an incredible low speed : even after 3 hours it was not finished yet.
    How to solve this problem ?

    Just to confirm that you have the following latest:

  • Problems with Nomad Jukebox Zen and Mediasource - Please he

    Hi,
    I own a Nomad Jukebox Zen NX, and I'm having problems with Creative Mediasource seeing the device. Everything has been working fine for a while; I have been able to upload songs from my Zen to my PC and download songs from my PC to my Zen. However, when I tried plugging in my Zen today, the computer did the normal "boop-beep" signaling that the device had been plugged in. However, when I went into Creative Mediasource to download some songs to my Zen, the Zen did not come up under the "Sources" menu, on the upper left, where it usually does.
    I exited Mediasource went into "My Computer" on my desktop and, sure enough, the Zen was there under "Audio Devices," and when I double clicked on the icon, it brought showed all of the music files I have on my Zen. This shows that my computer does indeed see the Zen, but Mediasource doesn't?
    Any ideas?
    All help is very much appreciated,
    Jason

    Your MediaSource plugin of the MP3 player may have been uninstalled. Here is what you should do:
    <FONT face=Helv size=2>
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.

  • HELP need usb driver4 old Nomad Jukebox 10g

    Crashed my PC starting up new one. I no longer have anything for my Creative Nomad jukebox 0gig. My PC will not detect it. I think I need the usb driver for it but I have tried all the downloads I could find but my player I guess is too old. But it works great . I cant install media player to sync songs because it cant detect my player. Ive waisted hours trying to resolve this.
    How can I get my Nomad to be recognized by my PC via usb?
    PS I have the old blue and silver Nomad. It was out before the Zens.
    Thanks

    First make sure all your USB ports work. Use the rear ones when connecting the player. Install these applications in this order. The driver Creative ZEN and Jukebox Driver 2.0.00 Then this app. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 Then this one Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource Then this one Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0)

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Extra has no power, no

    I was uploading new software for a Zen extra, and got the wrong firmware (ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe). I started the upgrade and the zen froze at a reboot point. I reset the unit, and now it does not give any indication of having any power (battery fully charged and ac adapter plugged in and working).
    When I tried to restart the firmware update, I get a message that the zen is not connected. Can this machine be saved?
    Jimfred

    If you leave the player for several weeks with a discharged battery it can either (a) damage the battery beyond repair or (b) cause the battery voltage to drop so low that it won't be recharged. For the latter situation there's advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net on what to do. But BEWARE that in certain situations Lithium Ion batteries can catch on fire or explode.

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox Extra- Player stops working on airpl

    OK this is weird but recently I noticed my Nomad Jukebox Extra won't work on airplanes in flight. It starts working early on but about 3 or 4 songs into the flight and it starts sketching. It jumps around on a point in the song and then quits playing the song. If I hit play the arrow appears but the timer doesn't advance- stays at 00:00. I reset the player and it doesn't help. Then if I try more I get the repair/reload OS/reboot screen. Now to make it more complicated when I land and the engines stop the player plays fine.
    My thoughts : Recently I upgraded the OS to the latest version. I wonder if there could be interference from the engines or if my headphones which have a volume control are acting like an antenna and intereferring with the play. I haven't tried different headphones or seeing if the song still freezes with no phones.

    Scheidhaus: I would hope that the aircraft isn't interfering with the player, and I honestly can't imagine it would. I have heard of one case before with a Nomad Jukebox that failed to work when the player was at altitude, along with another recent post here about this. All I can think is that the air pressure on the plane is a factor and is causing problems with the hard disk. Very strange though.
    Have you simply tried resetting the player when you have problems? You'll need to keep a paper clip with you for this, or borrow one from the cabin crew

  • Tips on changing from Zen Nomad Jukebox Extra to Zen V Plu

    My new Zen V Plus is on its way to me. I am looking for any tips or advice on changing over from the Zen Nomad Jukebox. For instance, is it the same Mediasource program (I have ver. 2.03.29 now)? Will my songs and playlist be able to go over to the new device seamlessly? Ideally I'd like to connect both devices to my PC and then use Mediasource to transfer from the Jukebox to the V Plus, possible? Thanks in advance for any help.........

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra won't turn

    My problem is exactly as the title states. I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (40 gig HD) and I cannot get it to power on. This problem has been occuring since yesterday evening. I try to plug it into the computer via the USB cable, but this does nothing. The same is true of plugging it into a wall outlet with the charger that came with it. I can't tell you what the firmware on it is, as I have no ability to view that.
    Any suggestions as to what I can try next?

    I have (and left it out for fi've minutes, per another suggestion in another thread). Thanks to both of you for your help, I'm in contact with Creative's customer support via email now (thankfully it's within the 90 day warranty period)

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen NX Durability--W

    I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen NX 20 Gig player and it has served me well. But heres a testimony to that claim that is unsurpassed in my mind--
    I have a radio in my bathroom that i listen to when i'm getting ready, so i brought my player in with my radio transmitter and was planning on listening to some of my favorite tunes while showering. Well, I have a shelf above my toilet where my radio sits, and for some dumb reason I decided i'd lay my player on top of my radio and get in the shower. Well it was playing good as usual, then all of a sudden I heard a crash, and my Zen NX had fell into the toilet!! Totally submerged. I grabbed it and all kinds of water poured out of the thing. I had to remove the battery for it to turn off.... Well i immediately put it underneath a fan i had running in my bedroom. I left it there for one full day, and then the next day I powered it up and the **bleep** thing worked like nothing had happened!!!! And still is today 3 weeks later. Wow i was so surprised. I thought my my investment had literally went down the toilet. But happily it still works great. What a great product!
    Thanks again for such a great product,

    I think it's not uncommon to drop things in the toilet etc. if you are listening, and "doing the business", it can be easy to drop it (for the guys at least).
    The key here is to make sure the player is off, remove any power source straight away. Then leave the player in a dry warm environment for as long as you can, ideally 3 to 5 days, if not more.
    This is even covered in one of the Rio Karma FAQs
