I restarted my pc and then down loaded the newest versions. when I installed it told me that the installation was successful. But when I click on the zune icon it says I have an error. I reinstalled and re downloaded 10 times but still it does not work. This sucks.

We are NOT trying to format the player. The Zune software will not open! Cannot do anything with the Zune itself because the program will not start! Help would be great!

There are two ways to format an Mp3 player - one on the computer
itself, and one in Windows Media Player. Both methods will end up
erasing all the songs on the player, but the player will be "good as
new" after that. Sometimes reformatting in this manner will override
the player's native formatting and cause problems - this can be
reversed in most cases by updating the player's firmware. Firmware
upgrades are available from most manufacturers' websites. WARNING: The following procedures will erase all songs on the player.
Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes, format it to FAT or
FAT32. - Connect player to computer, double-click my computer, right
click on icon of mp3 player and select format. This only applies to
Windows-based computers. You can also format the player in Windows Media Player itself: Connect your Mp3 player to the computer and open Windows Media
Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath
the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking
on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "name of
Mp3 player here 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select
"Format." - this should erase everything. -Tha Mp3 Doctor

The "firmware" is specialized software that gets downloaded to the ZUNE.
Then, when you turn the ZUNE on, it runs that software, to control the device,
i.e., to respond to the buttons that you push, and to retrieve files from the "library" stored on it.
If that firmware gets corrupted, you must download a copy of the firmware from the ZUNE web-site, and then run the ZUNE software on your computer to download the firmware from your computer to your ZUNE.
If possible, try to run your computer in safe mode. Use Malware Bytes to scan and remove virus. If it won't open as an .exe, try changing it's extension.
Vista! try right clicking it and run as admin. Xp try downloading a newer version of zune online! same for vista if that doesnt work!
the device should connect to the zune software so if your trying to install a zune device make sure you get zune media player from the zune site install it and that should do it! then while zune is running install your device!
zune is good for xbox 360 sharing so make sure you install zune and change the settings to file share. Note that try using the zune site to get the proper software
Trying going back to before you have installed Service Pack 3 using System Restore (restart PC > let BIOS load > Press F8 > Safe Mode > When it asks you if you want to System Restore accept and load the date before you installed SP3. Try re-installing Service Pack 3.
I had a 30g w/same problem. I installed the Zune software from CD. Plugged the Zune into my USB jack and waited hrs for the full screen battery icon to go away. It never did. Here is what I did to fix it. I left the Zune disconnected until its battery drained and the lcd went dark. In this state, pressing the play/pause button, caused the full screen battery icon to appear briefly before the lcd went dark again. With the Zune disconnected from my xp pc, I ran Windows Update in express mode. I have Windows system restore and auto-update turned off and rarely update my pc, so I also took the opportunity to take a manual system check-point (so I could restore from the check-point if an update trashed my pc). I took and installed all the latest Windows updates. When it was done, I had all the latest security updates and IE 7. At this point I went to http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/zunesoftware/download.htm and downloaded the latest Zune software. I installed the Zune software update. I ran the new Zune software on my PC and found the device tab. NOW I connected the Zune to a USB port on the back of my PC. The full screen battery icon appeared on the Zune but nothing appeared in the Zune software. I left it this way for a few minutes. It occurred to me that I might get more power through the USB port if I turned off my other external USB devices, which I did. Within a few minutes, the Zune FINALLY came to life and a Zune splash screen appeared on the device. The device booted and was FINALLY recognized by the Zune software on my PC. Shortly after that I noticed that it already started synchronizing with my PC music collection. I figured it would charge up and download my entire collection (20gig) so I grabbed some sleep for a few hours. When I returned, the PC was asleep too. Unfortunately, the Zune was not charged and had stopped sync'ing. Not to be discouraged, I woke up the PC, exited the Zune software and left the device charging for an hour or so. When I returned, the device was about 80% charged. I quickly disconnected and played my first music video on the device!!!! I reconnected (the Zune software auto-launched) and left it sync'ing and charging for a while longer. When it was 100% charged, I disconnected and have been using it for a few hours. It was a long painfull road to get this thing setup, but it was WELL WORTH IT! I am already a huge fan of this device. In fact, I'm considering passing this one on to my wife so I can get the 80gig. Hang in there, it's worth it!!!!
PS: one sidebar -- I have noticed that the pc software will only sync about 800 songs in a session. I have simply been restarting the sync to get the next session going. At this point, I am fully synchronized and have 4.5 gig free.
