@imred3345l It sounds like you have music you downloaded via Zune Pass, but aren’t currently a Zune Pass subscriber. The “fix” is to start paying for your Zune Pass again.

How about the problem saying that you can’t play the song because its expired or something…can you help me at that?
Does Microsoft make ANYTHING that works properly?
this was exactly my problem
but it dosent work at all
alternative solutions?
hey i have the 30gb zune..it tells me
*open your pc, open zune sofware and restore the zune device firmware *
what do i have to do? help me! lol
@foryouiwill90 Go to the Zune Web site, download the latest version of the desktop software, and connect your Zune…

@MidgetMan14xxEClipse If you don’t have a backup of your music, I think you’re probably screwed…backups are CRITICAL for digital content.

I have the 30gb zune.. and its telling me that i need to update the zune firmware.. but the problem is that i dont have a cd drive on my computer and i have the cd.. i tried installing others but it says that my zune is connected soo idont know whats the problem and before it started acting up i had it on 3.0 firmware soo and it wasnt working
yea my zune80 dose the samething after updatng, the computer says its still updating.
idk, but i need some help b4 i go F Crazy!. PLZ!
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,
@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.
