Mac Zune hack.

Name: Mac Zune hack
Function: to be able to use zune software on a mac, or to be able to sync a zune using itunes with the zalternater program.

Yeah... that would be like a blessing from god... anything ms gets their hands on they pretty much have screwed it up bigtime... the zune is a blessing from god though... it actually is better than the ipod... but otherwise apple pretty much is owning the world.

You should try using bootcamp.

I do not see this hack in the near future.

Why would you want to do that?

what about crossover for mac?

Use a Mac with a virtual machine. I think the term for it on Macs would be a "parallel".

Never owned a Mac, but that's what I've heard...

why won't the 2001 window's let you update though, you should (if you have xp) be able to get service pack 2 here:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
and then update every thing it will take along time i know i did it for my uncles computer when i gave them each a zune2.0

As PityOnU suggested a virtual machine running Windows installed on your mac is your best bet, personally I'd suggest VMWare fusion as for me atleast it has better calusion between running windows apps in your Mac space.

He probably has a cracked version of Windows XP like I do. I have SP2, had to get a cracked version of it. The only thing I can't do is use Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 7.

I'm just happy that I didn't have to update Windows Media Player to V.11 in order to use my Zune and that it uses it's own software.
