Help with Zune accounts.

CastsNoShadow · 08-08-2008, 07:55 PM

Ok so I really like the whole Zune social idea. Actually I LOVE it. But the problem here is that when I got my Zune my dad had one prior to me, and he has a zune pass. We just hooked my zune up to his account so I could get songs i wanted on his pass. I was wondering if there was a way for me to get an account so I could get my own Zune card but still use the music i got from his pass. Thanks.

Yes there is in fact.
Just make another account, and guest sync the zune to your computer. You'll have to manually sync it every time but whatever.

go into the zune software>settings>device>sync options

under device options
click forget this device

Alright I figured it out thanks =D.

Alright so I did something where I signed onto my account and I think I linked it to my zune. But uh my zune card isn't updating and I did the guest thing and everything. I think I went like Settings and then Device and then there was two bubbles to not have it connected and connect it to my account. So i linked it but now everythings screwed up. Im so confused.

It would be a lot easier to just use your dad's account. The Zune social features rarely update correctly and aren't worth the hassle.

do you mean the songs you play and your total plays and stuff like that?

those update every time you sync your zune i believe
