Zune Renames Videos

jeldard · 02-20-2008, 10:31 AM

I am new to Zune. Why does my Zune rename some of my videos with duplicate names of videos already in my collection? This is driving me nuts.

Hey, welcome to zB.

I would make sure you are running the latest software 2.3, after that is installed run the media reset tool.

Where do I find that tool?

Gregory · 02-20-2008, 11:51 AM

There is a link in my signature.

jeldard · 02-20-2008, 12:05 PM

does it repopulate all my music, podcasts, pictures, videos, etc?

mine does this too i will change the name before i put it on the software but when i sync it the name changes back its a pain because you cant change the name when its on the zune you have to change the name then re sync

And now most of my videos won't sync. I get an error message saying it can't find them...

make sure the videos are in the same directory that they where when you originally added them to the software if where they are has changed then it will give you that error
