  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra FIRMWARE PROBL

    In the spring of 2005, I bought a 40GB Nomad Jukebox Sen Xtra. It worked for a little over a month without any problems. Since then, it shuts off on its own and?it freezes. For the first time since I bought it, I attempted to load new music onto it. Now whenever I turn it on, it reads "re-building library..." and then it's stuck on "Firmware Problem."? I tried updating?the firmware from the website, but since?my computer no longer recognizes that?the player is?plugged in.
    ?I welcome any suggestions for this problem. Please help me so I can stop regretting my decision to buy this...

    Kayla24?Looks like you're going to have to start regretting buying something?made by?Creative. There are oodles of stories on these boards regarding software problems and creative mp3 players. Creative have published ?'updates' that effecti'vely disable players but will not take any action unless the machine is still under warranty. The last e-mail I got from tech support said 'We know the firmware [update] disabled your machine, but unless it is still in warranty there is nothing we will do about it."? It was a Zen Xtra 30GB, it's now a paperweight. If your's still turns on, try reinstalling the firmware on a old pc/laptop that has never had Windows Media on it, but has been updated to media player 0. This sometimes works - otherwise join the crowds and get an i-pod. At least they work - and Apple fix 'em when they break 'em.

    I selcted Synchronize media files.....using Windows Media Player v0
    I got the error that:
    Windows Media Player does do not detect any portable device. Connect your portable device, and then try again.

    I went to install that and I got an error saying that:

    It said Please remove any Zen Xtra devices before the installtion. I did.
    Then it said Please reconnect your device for the driver to take effect. I did.
    And I still got the Setup could not detect..... error.

  • Zen Xtra software - need HELP!

    Hi, Just bought a Zen Xtra 40 GB from a friend. I am totally confused about just about everything, and found today that the Nomad Primer has disappeared! But, my software question:
    I am trying to figure out what software I need to update or install on my computer/player, etc. I don't understand if my firmware and MediaSource software is old or new or what?
    I am running Windows XP Service pack 2, all up to date. The Zen I just bought is a year old. The firmware on it says it is: version .03.02. My MediaSource software says it is: version 2.02.06.
    Do I need to update? If so, which updates do I need? If I install new firmware, will it erase all the music on my player? I am desperately trying to back up my Zen music library onto my computer, but everything keeps going wrong. Maybe it's my software?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    TBeatles67,
    Go to the website and download the following updates.
    . Drivers - Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03 (.3 MB)
    2. MediaSource update - Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB)
    3. Nomad Plugin - Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource (9.72 MB)
    If you intend to update the firmware, just go for the version .xx.xx update that's available on the website. It shouldn't delete the files in the player but like any electronics device, anything can go wrong anytime so I would also suggest backing up your data/audio files in the player first just in case.

  • Zen Xtra Software not launch

    hello - I have been searching the internet for over a month trying to find a solution to my Zen Xtra problem.
    About a month ago, I launched the Creative media program to transfer files into my Xtra. The software just shut down. After repeatedly trying to get it to open, it comes back with a message. "Creative Mediasource has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Thats not very helpful. Ive uninstalled the original driver I got with the Zen - I reinstalled the software - and downloaded drivers from the Creative site. Nothing works. My player works fine - but I cant access the files to add/delete.
    Is it all over for my Zen.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Zen Xtra LCD probl

    I've had my Zen Xtra close to a year now, and everything's been fine until today. I was fixing the clock set, and then all teh text disappeared. I tried rebooting, I reinstalled the latest firmware, and I'm pretty sure I tried a disk cleanup. Without the text I can't tell, but I heard dri've activity. The dri've wasn't reformatted, so I assume that's the only thing I tried. The backlight is working fine, and I get music playing, etc. Anyone have any idea if this is either hardware or software related?

    If there's no display then the screen or a related component has failed, so it's hardware unfortunately. Links for contacting Creative Support are in the FAQ post.

  • Zen Xtra connection probl

    Hi, I recently purchased a Zen Xtra 30gb, and it seems that i am unable to use nomadexplorer... I have windows xp with service pack 2. I installed from the cd as it said and tried to enter through my computer, into the music folder but nothing would come up its just blank, in the data folder once i enter it says 'not connected'. Now i installed the media centre and it works fine (at least off the cd) i am able to copy files onto that but unable to view or see anything in the nomadexplorer music folder. Its really annoying me as i cant copy any data files to the mp3 player as it wont detect it in the explorer! Ive tried getting the latest updates from nomadworld and firmares and it still does exactly the same thing. It only worked once and im not sure how... Ive tried everything i think! Any help would be appreciated.Regards,Darren.

    There might be a newer version of Nomad Explorer at http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers
    Personally I don't like it, and I much prefer the superior Notmad Explorer by Red Chair Software. It's shareware, but has more features and a better feel to it http://www.redchairsoftware.com/notmad

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra connection probl

    Hello Everyone.
    First off, I am using Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (30G) with Windows XP - SP2. A few days ago my Zen Xtra would connect to my pc but as of today it no longer does. After searching through similar posts I am assuming it's not a problem with my Zen but with my PC. None the less, I did do my best to troubleshoot myself. I downloaded all possible firmware/drivers from Nomadworld.com. However - the firmware upgrade would not complete due to the fact that my device is not connected. I tried connecting my player to other USB ports on my PC - no luck. I used Nomad Explorer to do my transfers and as suggested in the FAQ, I tried downloading others (ie: MediaSource) however these wouldn't install because it could not detect any device. When I go to Device Manager/USB/ my Nomad isn't even listed. I have tried 3 different USB cables. The player isn't locked. Other devices work with the usb cables and port (ie: logitec clicksmart camera)
    So now assuming it is a PC problem, where do I go from now? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

    Hibbs,
    Thank you for your response. The only thing that comes to mind is k-lite codec pack I downloaded and installed for the Indeo codec needed for my clicksmart 820. I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with the disruption of my device. The camera itself worked but wouldn't record videos until I installed the codec. Everything else to my knowledge is the same. No other new USB devices installed either.

  • Zen Xtra Function Proble

    Hi,I order a Creative>Zen Xtra>30GB Nomad Jukebox a week ago. I have few question: How come the time that I set on the MP3, and below it is an alarm, I tried setting the
    time on it and until that time I don't see a sound goes off in my MP3 or anything happen
    while I listen to music or not.Another is Car Mode, What does that do? I don't see any differences while it's off or on.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    Now I understand about car mode...thanks
    But...about the alarm in the zen xtra, lets put this as an example, I set my current time to be :25 am, and below the time, it have a bell [not acti've], and near that bell is another time [ which means that it's an alarm] so I set it to be :30 am, with a ring bell now acti've. So when the time is up while listening to music or not [the player is still on]. It still doesn't make a ring or anything happen. I think that is problem with Zen Xtra 30GB...
    Unless someone have a solution about this.:robotmad:

  • Zen xtra-harddisk probl

    So I knocked my zen xtra onto the kitchen floor and after turning it off, it gave me the rescue menu. Is there anyway for me to fix this so i can get it back to normal. I was thinking of opening it and checking all the connections. Has anyone opened one of these before? What size/type of screwdrivers should i use to open it's

    There's a guide here for the Zen, albeit not specifically the Xtra. Apparently the Xtra is?a little easier to get into anyway.

  • Zen Xtra transfer probl

    Hi, for some reason, when I transfer songs to my player, some songs won't transfer (About 00 out of 4000. I have tried all the different transfer programs; Winamp, MediaSource, WMP0 and WMP, and it is always the same songs that won't transfer across to my player. WMP reports it as an I/O error, and all the other software either freezes or skips it after 5 mins of trying.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks

  • Zen micro software probl

    Hi I just bought a zen micro the other day I hooked it up to my PC and installed the software and it worked fine the I went to the creative site and updated the firmware but didnt realise that it would stop me from being able to use creatives programs and only let me use windows media player I scanned through the forum and found this to be a common problem and the main solution was to down grade the firmware which I tried to do but when I tried it was coming up player not connected.
    What do I do I hate media player can anyone help PLEASE

    Hi tried all those options but managed to downgrade the firmware by deleting the drivers on the pc and the pluging the zen back in and as the pc started detecting it and installing it I ran the firmware program so it just started as the unit was fully installed as the creative zen and not what windows identifies it as and it worked hope that made sense because at that point i was just trying anything.
    Thanks again for the help.
    P.S dont know if any one knows but I bought my Zen out of the county and it has the wrong pin plug bit now I know it will work voltage wise but it would be nice to get the right pin adapter as they are interchangable.

  • Jukebox Zen Xtra - "Harddisk Probl

    So tonight I brought my Zen home and plugged it into my computer to add some new music when I realized it was no longer working. I had been playing music earlier today. Now however, it boots, freezes at the welcoming screen of EAX, and then reverts to safe mode. I can not use any options in safe mode however, except reboot which allows it to reboot into the same problem. Any ideas on what I can do? Sorry if I'm a noob. It's a 40 gig and I've had it since about last may.Message Edited by victim on 02-03-2005 07:32 AM

    Anecdotally hard disk problem means the player is faulty and needs to be repaired/replaced. You should either return it where you bought it or contact Creative Support.
    You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net if you want, at your OWN RISK.
