Zen Nomad Jukebox 3 questi

I no longer have the install cds and I am trying to install an old Zen Jukebox 3... any suggestions, advice?I have the computer finding it, but I can't locate it to transfer from or to. In the device controller, there are two USB ports on this old computer, one holds a mouse, the other holds the Jukebox. It has a listing that shows three USB ports... one unused, one with Human Interface (the mouse), and one with unknown. When I double click on the unknown, assuming it's the Jukebox, it says the device is working properly and no drivers were installed. When I look further and ask to see hidden devices I find the Jukebox, it says that the software it has is the best it can suggest. HELP!?!?thanks,?Ot

I don't see any mention of this in your post, but did you download any files from the website? If you select the product on the Downloads page, it will show a page that says the product is a legacy device, but if you click on "Search archi'ves now" you will see the files that are available for it.
You can download a driver for the player, and software (MediaSource and the plug-in).

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox: Won't charge after sitting

    My daughters 30G Zen Nomad Jukebox Xtra sat, with the battery in, for about 3 months after she lost it due to low school grades.
    After she got her grades back up, I gave it back to her, and it won't charge at all now.
    ?The charger itself is fine (I checked the 5V with a multimeter), and the unit was charged and working when I took it from her 3 months ago, which is why I don't understand it. I did try the reset button with a paperclip. but it didn't help.
    When it's plugged into the charger, there's absolutly nothing on the screen indicating that its charging at all, when there should be an indicator light on it. HELP!!!!!!Shawn

    Well, tech support got back to me with the following instructions, that didn't help me at all, but I'm hoping it will help someone else, so I'm pasting it here.
    For my problem though, I still don't understand how a working player gets put into a desk drawer, and 3 months later, it comes out and won't turn on, even with the power adapter in and the battery out.
    Maybe its a magic desk.
    Any ideas.......anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
    Shawn
    :::::::::::The following is pasted from tech supports email to me:::::::::::
    With regards to your enquiries, I understand that you are having issues
    charging the Zen Xtra battery.
    May I know if you feel any warmth on the power adaptor while charging
    the battery for 5-30 mins?
    Please try the following:
    - Remove the battery from the player.
    - Power on the DC input connecting to the player. Power on the player
    without the battery in the player for 2 hours.
    - After 2 hours, place battery into the player (Check if it is charging)
    - If it is still unable to charge, remove the battery and place battery
    into the player again.
    - Repeat the following steps for at least 2 times.
    - If the charging indicator appears, charge the battery for 4 hours.
    Shall the issue persists, please test the player unit with another
    battery. Perharps your friends have a player of the same model? This is
    to determine if the issue is with the player or the battery.

  • Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox. Docking Station/Speake

    Hi all. I have a Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox 30GB.
    I bought it brand new a couple of years ago, but never really used it. I would like to know, if you can get a docking station/speakers that I can plug into it, so I can revi've this bit of kit. Many thanks in advance.

    In that sort of price bracket, check out these sets (with subwoofers):

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox NX hangs up during EAX load

    My Zen Nomad Jukebox NX hangs up during the loading of the EAX screen. I've looked trhough similar problems and solutions on this page without finding any aduquate solution proposal.
    I've tried doing the following:
    entered the rescue mode and tried to "clean up", when i do this nothing happens and i may contiue selecting the clean up option or select another. It doesn't seem to affect the player at all.
    I've also tried to select both "reload OS" and "Format all", both times the player gives a error message, "harddisk problem".
    Since the computer is unable to detect the semmingly not functionable player I can't find access my player.
    Solution?

    A "hard disk problem" error is a serious one, and clearly indicates something awry with the hard disk. You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net at your OWN RISK. If you don't want to try this or are under warranty then contact Creative Support.
    If you aren't under warranty you can contact Creative Support to see if they will repair it. If you want to try repairing it yourself, taking the risk the hard disk is at fault, then you can follow Rudi Cheow's excellent guide. There's also a thread here at the Zen Nomadness.net forum on compatible dri'ves, and the last page of Rudi's guide also has information on this.

  • 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.........

    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

  • 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.

  • Nomad Jukebox Quest

    I downloaded Creative MediaSource Organizer to transfer mp3 files from my pc to my Nomad Jukebox. hen I opened MediaSource, there is no mention of my connected Nomad. How do i use the MediaSource program to transfer files to my Nomad? I am unable to find that option in the program. Thanks.

    Ahhhhh....the Nomad pack....no, I did not know one existed. I assumed it would have be imbedded in the Media Program. I'll try it and let you know if that does the trick. Thanks.

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox X

    Hi
    Had my jukebox for about 6 months now and all was well until yesterday! I had just copied some photos to the Zen for the first time (Loads of spare space still remained). After this, all the buttons froze. I can only switch it off by removing the battery. After reinserting the battery and switching back on, it tells me that it is rebuilding the library. It does then and then gets to the main menu but all the buttons are frozen out again. I have tried using a direct power feed but to no avail. I have also used the reset button, again unsucessfully. I have tried the USB connector and although my laptop does think about it - it tells me that the player is not connected. I am stuck with nowhere to go. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions? All gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Phil

    Phil,
    You can try running a Cleanup or Format all option in Rescue mode and see if it hel

  • Frozen Zen Nomad Jukebox X

    Please please help - previous requests for help have so far gone unanswered.
    Everytime I switch the unit on it goes straight into re-building the library. It completes this after a minute or so and then presents the main menu. At this point the unit is frozen and will not respnd to any of the buttons being pressed. I have tried the reset but it always goes back into the rebuilding library mode then frozen and so on. I estimated that I have used about 20% of the available capacity. Please help as it really is frustrating.
    Many Thanks

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox Prob

    I've had my player for a few months now and everything's been great. i'm loving it!.
    I normally make sure the battery is completely flat before recharging it so as to try and make it last longer.
    I recharged it as per normal and for some reason it needed to rebuild the library. (i'm assuming because the battery ran flat midway through a song) but it couldn't finish rebuilding it came up with the 'firmware problem' error.
    So i accessed the recovery mode menu, i did a disk cleanup, i even reformated it to no avail.
    So i downloaded the latest firmware to install it, but my laptop says that the player is not connected, my other PC says the same thing, and the firmware driver tells me to connect the player and restart the program....
    So i can't install the new firmware to get it going again.
    I need to fix this quickly, i got this mp3 player for an upcoming trip!
    help!

    This is not necessary with Lithium Ion, and in fact it's better for the overall life of the battery to top it up rather than deep cycle it.

  • 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.

  • Nomad jukebox zen xtra firmware quest

    Hello all,
    happy to be on the boards. I have a few questions I would like to ask:
    ) what product do I have? on the front it says "nomad jukebox zen xtra" with 40gb on the side. is it a "zen xtra" or a "nomad jukebox"? I was trying to find updated firmware, but found both "zen xtra" and "nomad jukebox" on the creative site.
    2) i've read horror stories of firmware 2..03. is there newer or firmware that works?
    3) is there a way to treat this player as a regular hard dri've? as in when I plug it into Windows/Linux (Debian linux), it will be recognized as a regular hard dri've without much trouble?
    Thanks all!

    Oo
    ps.
    I didn't mean to take the hard dri've out and use it as a computer hard dri've. I meant: is there a way (maybe changing firmware?) to make the creative plug and play with windows without installing drivers?
    An example: I want to go to a friend's house, plug my creative in, and copy a 5gb ISO off his computer. This is assuming he doesn't have the creative drivers.
    I read that the 2..03 (or whatever the bad one is called) is supposed to allow this. Any solutions?

  • No driver found - Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - WinXP

    I have used my Zen Xtra for over 2 years now, with the same PC I am currently having problems with. I recently had to do a complete reinstall of Windows (note that I have done at least 2 other complete reinstalls during the life of my Zen Xtra, with no problems). Windows Device Managers sees the NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, but with the yellow question mark and exclamation point. Each attempt at driver installation results in the same problem. The driver ("JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE") installs completely, I'm told to reconnect my device so the driver can take effect. When I do, the device is still marked in Device Manager with exclamation point and yellow question mark, and Windows continues to ask if it can find and install the driver. I have told it not to (knowing that I just installed Creative's own driver), with no success, and other times let Windows try to install the driver (hoping it would find the Creative driver that was just installed). No luck. I have even done another complete reinstall of Windows, and tried to install the driver before any other program or hardware installations into my system. No luck. Note that there are no hardware changes between now and when I have done other complete Windows reinstallations. It just no longer accepts the Creative driver. I have also tried to install the driver in safe mode, with the same results. I have also completely removed the Zen Xtra (showing hidden devices in the Device Manager), and tried to reinstall. Firmware version of Zen Xtra was upgraded over a year ago to 2.0.03.
    Specifics:
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    38GB free hard dri've space
    Zen Xtra firmware version: 2.0.03

    I have the same problem. But when i try to installl it it says he is missing an .nfo file.
    I removed WMP and reinstalled WM0 because is crap.
    I have Windows XP SP2
    I have the newst firmware on it.
    Can somebody help me with this because it's annoying not to put any new music on your mp3 player.
    I never experienced this before even after formatting my HD.
    Almost the same problem as fritzm but not completely because het gets an different error.
    I have installed the CD but that doesnt work either.
    I have installed the software from the website but that didnt help because he doesnt recognize my player.
    Please help!!

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60 GB can't be found through Mediasource Organizer

    I have been using the Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra HDD Player since a few years and I have always been satisfied. But recently, I had a massi've computer problem, forcing me to do a complete re-install of Windows XP, without the chance to backup my old XP.
    So of course I also needed to reinstall the Nomad Player. However, since I can't find the CD-Rom with the driver, I had to download (almost) everything.
    At first I installed the drivers of the player and then I installed the Nomad Explorer (I still had that one on an old HDD). When I start the Nomad Explorer, the player connects and I can see the music that is stored on the player.
    However, in the past I never used the Nomad Explorer, I always used Media Source Organizer. I think in the past I had Version 3 and later I updated it to Version 5. So now I went for Version instantly. I downloaded it and installed it. But here it starts to get strange. I closed the Nomad Explorer and disconnected the player, then I installed the Organizer. During the installation, I was told that the organizer can't find any supported devices, I should connect and start the player and try again. So I did. This time, the installation finished itself - but when I startet Media Organizer, it couldn't find my player.
    I once read something like that you need at least Windows Media Player 0 or . Since I had 9, I installed 0, but that didn't change a thing.
    So, does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong ? Or maybe I forgot to install some normal Windows stuff, that is required by Media Organizer ? For example, I haven't installed DirectX yet (but I tell you that just as an example, I don't think that it's DirectX related)

    You need the Creative Nomad Jukebox? plug-in 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource5 found here.http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+Players
