yea my zune80 dose the samething after updatng, the computer says its still updating.
But my zune120 that i just bought came with the old dock/craddle, but the remote doesnt work, neither does the AV output. when i plug in the jack to the back of the dock/craddle & plug the other ends to my tv/stereo it dosent play the video & it dosent play the audio/music either.
So i dnt knw what to do now, im conffused, or maybe im not doing somethin right, :? idk, but i need some help b4 i go F Crazy!. PLZ!
@thepsycoticman hold the up and back and it will reset. ither that or up and play. i forgot.
take it and smash it. i did that cuz mine broke and cuz they wont refund me for my 300 dollars of songs that got damaged cuz of a zune update. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate zune players cuz one day i update it and all my music was damaged and not playable or downloadable on my comp! I spent about 300 dollars on music and im sitting here looking at an error and a bunch of damaged song that i cant get back. i called them and they said that they cant refund me any of the money that i spent on all the song that i no longer am able to listen to! WTF! I currently use a sony walkman for a player and i have about 20 dollars of the songs back. Any advice or help!?!?
anyone know how to fix the back button suddenly mines stopped working and i need to know if thers a way to fix
the only way i can think to get an older version of zune would be torrent sites…i didnt aft to wrry cuse i had an older version on my laptop that i never updated. but thats a way to fix ur zune
for anyone who has an older zune do not download the newest firmware! its a death trap! its microsofts way of saying “buy a new zune now!”but if u already have u can fix it without taking it apart but u might end up loosing all ur music…u aft to have an older version of the zune player and update it with that…
i have the same problem! did you ever fix it??
I agree, NOTHING will ever last forever. Great phrase

I can understand why you’re frustrated, but things do break – even iPods. Nothing lasts forever. :-)

They proceeding to inform me of my options for service ($159 for a refurbished Zune 80GB with a 90 day warranty.) I think this is bogus. The hard drive fails in less than 2 years? Not to mention I haven’t used my Zune in a week and I turn it on this morning to a black screen. I’m considering buying an iPod. No wonder Zune are so cheap.
I was experiencing a black screen for my Zune 80GB. I’ve had this device less than 2 years. I read that you should try to reset your firmware by pressing back and up, followed by back, pad, and play. I did so and I now have step 1 that says connect your player, step 2 says update the firmware. I called Zune help and they walked me through the process. To no avail, they informed me that we have exhausted our troubleshooting processes and that it was a harddrive issue.
ive been having that problem with my 4 gig but i tried it on my moms laptop and it worked…idk why it didnt work on my desktop
Get an AC power brick with a USB port connector on it, then you can charge any USB device.
- Jason
what if we wanna charge our zune but it wont let me connect on my laptop?thats my problem :(
did you have issues before this happened? i this happen to me as well, right before the most recent update. But i was having problems before with and error on some songs “item cannot be played” and i was unable to download new songs to the zune. i finally did get it to work but when after i reloaded all of my songs i am still finding “item cannot be played” errors…know anything about this??
yeah i updated the software, restarted my computer and disconnected my Zune and it began to work.
Hey my Zune says the same thing. Did you ever get that fixed. If you did please let me know..Thanks.
Hey mine zune says the same thing. Did you every get that fixed, if you did, Please let me know, Thanks..
i did it. i was happy for a second until it told me that i didnt have enough space on the zune for the update, , ,wat do i do. please help. i need my zune…thank you
mine says i have too much things and i must delete stuff but there nothing on it
yeah i love my zune theyre more durable than ipods. are you a member of the social? if you are, we could talk and stuff about music!
you could probobly find it on google pictures somewhere
aww well thats too bad
The other one is gone I’m afraid – the new default is the only default there is…
