I'm having an issue with the Zune software disrupting my USB ports and dumping the wireless card in my desktop.

I'm running Vista sp2. 3gig of ram. Can't remember the processor speed. Zune software version 4.0.

A few mins. after opening the zune software the num lock light on my keyboard starts flashing randomly and the motion of my mouse pointer stutters (in sync with the num lock light!). Seconds after that the pc drops the wireless network. When I try to reconnect to my router, the card cannot detect my router (nor the other routers in my hood). I have to restart the PC to be able to pick up the router again. The fastest way to kick off this meltdown is to play music from either the library or marketplace.

I've tried cleanly reinstalling the software three times now. Any suggestions? ]]> General Zune Software vonsnacks http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/general-zune-software/47253-usb-ports-wireless-card-dumping.html add songs to a playlist the zune? http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/general-zune-software/47248-add-songs-playlist-zune.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:51:55 GMT 1) ok i have a playlist on my zune called "viet songs". i wanna to add another song to that playlist on the zune directly. i tried dragging it to the playlist but it would not add. i don't want to copy the playlist to my collection, add the song there, and then sync the playlist back to the zune...is there a quicker way for me to do this or is that my only choice?!!!

2) also can i create playlists within playlist, like a tree structure? for example i have a general playlist called "viet songs". in it, i want to add playlists containing the name each individual artists, which in turn would contain the songs themselves. is this possible?

zsuite don't work for me and i do not want to downgrade so does anyone know any tricks for these two questions? thanksss...zune software blows ass btw ]]> General Zune Software jinjin12 http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/general-zune-software/47248-add-songs-playlist-zune.html <![CDATA[Zune won't update firmware from 2.5 to newest version]]> http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/general-zune-software/47246-zune-wont-update-firmware-2-5-newest-version.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:50:28 GMT Hey guys,

it's quite a long time I used my Zune so it still has the version 2.5 on it. Now I have installed the newest version 4.0 on my new computer. It recognizes my Zune in the first place, but then I get an error C00D11CD (80070057) and it just won't update my firmware and my Zune is not being recognized. I tried everything like restarting Zune, reinstalling, manual install (the zune-firmware.msi file won't start) of firmware but nothing worked for me.
i tried updating my old computer, but I get the same message here after installing 4.0.
I'm using a non-us-windows vista and now I can't use my Zune anymore :(
I think I have all needed Windows updates installed.

So is there a way to fix this problem?

I have just built a new PC (Windows 7 OS), all working great, realised that i will need to download new Zune software version 4.0( i have a Zune 80gig), so I did this, all downloaded, restarted machine and plugged in my Zune, what happened next is odd, the zune is getting charged, but cannot be recognised, when I go into the control panel the device is shown as unknown, and then drops off the screen, then re-appears over and over again (along with the message in the task bar advising it cannot recognise the device), I have done the manual reset on the Zune, have run windows updates and installed all updates, have tried several different USB ports, cable worked and software woked fine before upgrading to 4.0, anyone got any suggestions? I'm in Australia so I can get onto microsoft support for this as they don't support the zune here as it is not sold here, really love a fix b4 i chuck this in the bin, i always used to rate the Zune, but after this i'm thinking of going to the dreaded ipod, cause as much as i hate to say it, apple would not have this happen, see this update has caused all sorts of issues for people.

I have over 40gb on my Zune and put a lot of work into getting all the metadata, including album art, correct. Does anyone know if when I use the Zune software to add art or edit track data, does that modify the file itself? If so, then I should be able to just copy the music folder to the new machine and do a new install of the Zune software. But if the changes aren't part of the file, can I just do a backup and restore from the old machine to the new one? BTW, I'm still on v3.

I recently had a virus on my computer and had to do a system recovery. after re downloading all my other major things i went and tried the zune software it would get close and tell me it had to close because of some error with the code 126687. I then read that using the Unzoone software will work when i reinstall it. now all that happens is it either stays on the "preparing your computer" or "checking for updates"

anyone know what to do?

p.s when i do a disk defrag i can see that the "zuneinstall.log" is fragmented

I do not use an external hard drive, so this isn't the issue. It was working fine until a few days ago. I don't believe I changed any settings that would cause this.

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone had a Zune Software playback problem where at the beginning of the song the sound volume jumps to some nasty saturation level for a split second then plummets back down to a normal sound level. It's annoying as all get up.

On a similar note, during playback the volume seems to adjust itself like it doesn't want to be too loud. It's like some sort of normalization thing. I read around and haven't found anyone with this problem yet.

Any ideas? I haven't found any Zune software settings yet. I hope I'm just missing something. I'm running Zune 4.0 software and have a Oringinal 30GB unit. The unit works flawlessly, it's just software playback on my PC. Oh, and playback on Winamp is fine. But hey, I see now the WMP11 is doing the same thing. Guess I've got some more hunting to do.

I'll still take any ideas though.

Thanks!
