Zen Xtra computer Softw

Hello,
please help me,i need the software for my new PC of the Zen Xtra that i can't find and put to work.
I have my player full of music and i want it to go to the PC but i have no Software and i dont now where to get it.What id the name of the file,is it a Driver,aplication,etc...........
Thanks to you all

You need the application, probably the nomad explorer the file can be downloaded from the creative support section on creative.com the file you are after is probably NMEX_PCApp_3_0_0.exe i dont hvae any experiance with the zen xtra so i cant say for sure. if you have lost the software it is probably a good idea to download the drivers as well to make sure your computer will recognise it properly.
the driver file name is
JB3_PCWDRV_US__26_02.exe
but have a look under the download section of support and see what looks right.

  • I can't get my Zen Xtra to work on my new comput

    Hello. For years now, my Creative Zen Xtra has been working perfectly on my old (and I do mean old, Windows 98 old) computer. However, I recently bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and I just can't get it to work on there. I've installed all the software on the CD I got with the player, but when I open the player, it says "Not connected". All my other USB devices are working, and when I connect my MP3 player, it switches itself on, so I don't think there's anything wrong with my USB ports or the cable, and I can only assume there's something wrong with the software. I already tried looking for a driver update in the Downloads section of this site, but couldn't find anything for Vista.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it's If so, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Do you have any security software installed, blocking these ports? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • Zen xtra is detected, but doesnt appear in my computer!

    Hi guys! I havent used my zen xtra in a while. I d/led and installed the latest drivers today, as I wanted to back up my music. I followed the instructions for installing the drivers, and everything went fine. I connected the device, and it said blah blah...new device detected, detected zen xtra etc....yor device is now ready to use...
    fine....but it just doesnt appear as a mass storage device in my computer!! Neither is it detected by their creative media source.
    The device appaers as a zen xtra in device manager, under usb devices, and says it is working fine!
    I dont get it's!
    ....uninstalled, re-installed, removed from device manager, got all my latest updates etc...
    The only thing of note is that the battery is totally dead, and im powering it off the mains. Havent installed the latest firmware, but that shouldnt matter, right?!
    Any suggestions?
    cheerz,
    dug

    hey mate!
    Thanx for that! It personally would make sense for me for creative to include that extra program within the drivers!! ... I just thought it was an optional extra!!
    Having said that, Im still pretty sure that my zen used to appear in my computer!! As I used to be able to drag standard files into it!...maybe I need to d/l <EM>another</EM> program for that!!
    Thax loads anywayz,

  • Cannot completely uninstall Nomad Zen Xtra softw

    I needed to uninstall the software that came with the nomad zen xtra 40GiG player. So i first uninstalled the software and then the drivers, however in my computer it still displayed the adapter to the player as a dri've. Now mind me I wouldnt care much but now whenever I plug in any usb device my computer cannot detect it because the current slot is taken.
    So I installed advance uninstalled pro 2004 and looked arround yet there was no trace of the driver, software or anything even related to creative. So I did the next step, I used Registery Mechanic and found some broken registrys which I promptley deleted, but now on loadup I still have that dri've, the only diffrence is the nomad icon does not appear there anymore, its replaced by the default icon that any file recieves when it cannot be linked to a software.
    How can I remove it's
    any Ideas?
    Using Windows XP SP2
    with USB 2.0
    Thank you for your time

    Use Driver Cleaner Pro http://www.drivercleaner.net/ free ware that cleans out drivers,.sys.ini,inf and registry settings.
    It cleans completely and does not dump to the recycle bin so use caution,I use JV6 which I find not only better at cleaning but much safer than System Mechanic(in fi've years of use It has never hosed my system) you can find the last free version(full function-no time limit) @ http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=jv6 or the new pay version @ http://www.jv6.org/
    Many functions to clean,including full scan and search by software(I would try this method)
    If you have a Creative Sound card SB Li've or Audigy they include a driver clean up utility CTZAPXX.exe look for it in the C:\Program Files|Creative\Program folder or on your Install disc,it may be available here on Creative Support site or a google search will return many hits.
    If you can't find it P.M. me and i will e-mail or post it up on a web site for you.
    <B><I>Just one more caution on working in your registry,always a good idea to back up the registry or set a "restore point" prior to altering the registry,if your not comfortable doing these things stop and ask some one for assistance</I></B>
    Good luck and report back any success

  • Trouble Transferring Data Files From Zen Xtra to Computer...HELP

    Hello to all technical-savvy people out there in computer land, I'm hoping you can help me somehow, as I am frustrated beyond belief.
    I have a Creative Nomad Jukebox, Zen Xtra, 30 GB. I used it for, obviously, listening to MP3's while I was out of the country in Australia, and I also used it to store data...all of my digital pictures and videos. When I got back to Chicago, I was able to download all the drivers and software onto my dad's computer from online, and was able to successfully transfer everything from my Zen Xtra onto the computer.
    I am now at my mom's, and trying to do the exact same thing to her PC and to her laptop....neither of them want to cooperate with me. The computer recognizes the device, and can recognize the data, but it is unable to transfer the information from the device to the computer. I have done the following:
    Downloaded the drivers/software
    Restarted the computer (plenty of times)
    Rebooted the Zen Xtra
    Firmware upgrade
    And I still can't transfer. I want to show my mom the pictures desperately, and it's realllly frustrating me. If anyone can help me out, my email is [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
    Thank you,
    Sheryl

    If it worked with the exact same drivers/software on one PC but not another, this suggests a USB incompatibility (especially as you've tried a firmware upgrade). It's not clear whether this is Creative's drivers and/or certain USB chipsets, but issues do seem to exist for some people with certain combinations of hardware.
    Out of interest, have you tried a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

  • JUKEBOX ZEN XTRA SOFTW

    Hi,
    I have a Jukebox Zen XTRA model MP3 player but am unable to find application software that would recognize it and would allow me to organize/upload songs. So far, I have unsuccessfully tried the "Creative MediaSource Software Update version 2.03.29" under the support section but please let me know if there is any other software available that could help.
    thanks in advance,

    A word of warning while you are looking through all the software available...... Don't update the Firmware to the Plays-for-Sure version unless you have done a search on this forum first. Lots of people have had difficulty installing it and have bricked their Zen Xtra in the process. I still have the original .20.08 firmware and am extremely happy with it. My ZenXtra 30GB is still going strong and I use it for storing audiobooks and music. It is the old "Don't fix it if it ain't broke".
    If your player already has had the "Plays-forSure" Firmware sucessfully installed, then I would say, lucky you.

  • How can I use my Zen Xtra like a flash memory

    Hello, I want to know how can I use my MP3 player like a flash memory.
    I have one and if I conect it with other computers I can't transfer documents and with a flash memory I conect it in all the computers with Windows XP and all of they detect the flash memory and they can transfer documents.
    With my Zen Xtra I connect it and the computer detects it but I can't transfer anything because the computer doesn't have the software.
    My question is.. Do I have to install the software in all the computers that I use ? or there are other forms to conects PC and MP3 Player? ( I want to transfer documents like text, image, etc)

    But some MP3 players do that, why this one can't be connected with all the computers ?

  • Creative MediaSource/Zen Xtra/Vista Is

    I have had?a Zen Xtra for a couple of years, I recently got a new computer which has Vista Installed. After going through the nutroll that was downloading MediaSource for Vista and updating the firmware to be Play-for-sure, etc... everything seemed to work together. Except for one issue that I cannot figure out;
    When I operated on Windows XP and I linked my Player to the computer I would see all my songs listed on the screen. Now on Vista I see folders of the albums as opposed to all the tracks listed. This is making creating playlists much harder, searches slower and general management of 6400 songs more difficult than it should be.
    There has to be a way to be able to see all the tracks listed without folders, I am sure I am not the first. Has anyone here cracked the code on this yet?
    Thanks for any help I can get.

    To get it working with Vista you need to update the firmware to the latest ( last ?) version or one that starts with a number 2.something.
    to do this you need:
    a P.C running windows XP
    and on that XP PC you MUST make sure that:
    you have removed/rolled back windows media player
    removed/rolled back windows media player runtime
    even if you dont think any parts of WMP are there, check in add/remove programmes.
    before starting the firmware update make sure that the battery is fully charged and the player is conecte dot the power suply/mains charger.

  • MediaSource 5 isn't recognizing my Zen Xtra pla

    Hi,
    I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra mp3 player, version .03.02. I've had it since July of 2003.
    I recently bought a new computer (Dell Inspiron 520; Windows XP Home Edition). My old computer had Creative Organizer software on it. I no longer have (or more accurately, I can no longer find) any CDs that would allow me to install that software onto my new computer.
    When I first plugged my mp3 player into my new computer, the computer didn't recognize the hardware. I went to the Creative support site and downloaded this driver ( JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US_2_0_00.EXE ). Installing that allowed the computer to recognize the player. I then tried to transfer music from my computer to the player with Windows Media Player 0 (my preference is to avoid upgrading to WMP , if possible). The computer *did* recognize the player and I was able to move music over, but when I unplugged the player to view the new files I had placed there, I wasn't able to find them on the player (I think they *are* there somewhere, but I can't seem to find where the Windows Media Player put them).
    Therefore, I went back to the Creative support site and downloaded and installed the Creative MediaSource 5 software ( CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe ), but when I open up Creative MediaSource 5 and click on "Transfer Music," I get a pop-up box saying that there isn't any mp3 player plugged into the system, so it can't transfer anything. It gives me that box no matter how many times I unplug and re-plug in the player to my computer.
    At this point, I'd prefer to transfer my music to my player via the MediaSource software, since I have a feeling it will be more user-friendly for me. However, any advice that will help me with transferring music to my player and allowing me to find it easily on the player will be most appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    If you have not already, please make sure that you have the correct plugin installed. Check the firmware version of your Zen Xtra and go back to the download page where you downloaded MediaSource 5.
    If you have the PlaysForSure firmware in your player, download and install this:
    Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 27.90 MB
    CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36.exe
    Otherwise, download and install this:
    Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 6.24 MB
    CMS5_NJB2_PCAPP_LB_5_00_22.exe
    Hope this hel

  • Can't find my zen xtra in the Creative MediaSource Organi

    My Zen Xtra shows in "NOMAD Explorer" but when I try to use Creative MediaSource Organizer to transfer file from my computer to Zen xtra player, I can't found Zen xtra under "my computer"
    any help? My player has the latest firmware and also latest dri've was installed in my computer!!
    thanks for helping

    super80: Have a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net on how to install MediaSource, which also makes reference to the required plugin.

  • 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

  • Problems w/ Zen Xtra 3

    hello everyone!!!
    i'm having trouble with my Zen Xtra... i opened Creative MediaSource Organizer to transfer my mp3's to the Zen Xtra from my Music Library... and it wouldn't let me do it, there is a msg about an error, it would say, "Error: Unable to create file. Restart player and try again." my mp3's are ok, they are not corrupted or anything, it plays into my computer... i restarted the player and its still has same result...
    another problem is, i have like 000+ mp3 file stored on the Zen Xtra and i dont know what happened, but i lost everything. i lost every mp3 file... the thing is, i still have my playlist but there's no music stored on it, its all gone... this problem happened before i cant transfer mp3's in the player...
    i even reset the player but it still has the same problem, it didnt solved it...
    hope u guys could help me.... thank you...

    I have a similar problem with my Zen Xtra 40GB, however I did not lose all of my music. I did lose all but one of my playlists however the mp3 files that were on those playlists are still in my music library. I also get the same error message "Error: Unable to create file. Restart player and try again." Is there ANY other way to get around this besides cleaning off my player and losing all of my music? I recently had to clean off my hard dri've and lost 60 gigs worth of files. I don't want to lose another 20 gigs (my player is only half full) of songs. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Sorry if I didn't follow the correct procedure by asking a different question than originally posted. I wasn't sure how this works so if need be I'll start a new thread with my question.

  • Fixing the creative zen xtra - creative firmware won't bring me dow

    Hi all,
    Recently my zen xtra crashed as a result of Creative's shoddy firmware! Anyway, I'm out of warrenty, creative want to try charge me about 20 quid and I ain't having that (read my other posts you'll hear the whole story)
    Well now I've decided I'm gonna try fix things myself. I've ripped my player apart to reveal the 2.5" harddri've. I've got hold of a caddie to hold this in and connected to the computer. Dri've is not recognised (as i suspected, the firmware has corrupted toc and whathaveyou). So I'm formatting the dri've now, seems to be going ok (i'm thinking if I can't get the player working again at least I can make a 40gb external mini hard dri've)
    Anyway, what I need now is to compare this hard dri've to another zen xtra one thats working and well. If anyone has (for some bizarre reason) backed up their zen dri've in this way cause you let me know. I need to know the file structure that it uses (as the software hides the real structure) and also the firmware (a working copy please!) that is as how it is installed rather than by using the installation software for the more conventional way :smileytongue:
    Any help with that is appreciated, and those of you who are like me and have a ?200 paperweight should consider making it an external dri've like this also. (cheap caddies on ebay for those who want to know!)
    hope this helps
    phil

    if i get a friend's zen xtra dri've and put it in mine, would you reckon it would work or am i likely to bugger up that too?
    if the firmware is part in hardware then i doubt there's a lot i can do, but my intention was to copy my friend's dri've to mine then put it in and see if it works...
    any ideas?

  • Zen XTRA is completely dead after installing the latest firmware 2.10

    Hello,?I have tried to install the latest firmware 2.0.03 to my Zen Xtra 60GB mp3 player. The installation process completed about 70%. As I understand, at that point the?new firmware was finally uploaded after a couple of player reboots. The?firmware installer was waiting with a message "Waiting for the player to reboot", and the player rebooted. But the firmware installer was waiting, and waiting... and after an hour I looked at the player and saw that it was not starting up at all. I removed the USB cable, stopped the firmware upgrade process and tried to reboot the player with reset; then I tried to access the recovery menu as described in the FAQ?- but no success. The player shows completely no response to any button presses, the LCD does not even flicker, the hard dri've does not power up - I don't hear it. Nothing happens, even if pressing the play/reset switch for fi've minutes. What's could be the matter? And more importantly, how can I get it working back again? I fear that the warranty has expired by now. Can anyone suggest what to do?I would be grateful for any ideas.

    It is puzzling how some people including myself can upgrade thier firmware on thier devices and experience no problems at all during the procedure. Then theres others like yourself who would experience catastrophic events.
    Since we all downloaded the firmware from the same place, and?alot of us didn't have any problems, it is?at least safe to say that there isn't anything?wrong?with the new firmware. Or else we'd all problems.
    So for these devices that are failing, there must have been already a serious problem with them before the upgrade even started. The symptons just went unnoticed through every day normal use. And are only manifested through a reload/upgrade of firmware. Or something happened on the computer itself, during the transfer of data; auto file scanning virus protection comes to mind, or other programs or services running in the background that were taking up resources needed to make the upgrade go smoothly,?a USB cable with a short in it or a bad USB port. Who knows?!
    If the player doesn't even start?up in?rescue mode then theres really nothing as a consumer you can do to fix it. You'd have to just see about getting it repaired, or replace it. I know yours is a 60GB, but?I gotta tell you the new 30GB Zen Vision M is a sweet deal!
