Windows 7 (64 bit) build 7000 and zune problem

Im running Windows 7 (64 bit) build 7000. I have a first generation microsoft zune portable media player and have updated it to firmware 3.1. I have also installed the latest zune software on my pc (running windows 7) but when I connect the zune to the pc, the software starts up but it doesnt detect the device. The zune flashes as if its being connected and disconected all the time. The zune software never detects the device. Any Ideas would be great. thanks

Use Windows Media Player

The instructions in these pages, which are largely links, pertain to Windows Media Player 10 and 11 only.

Windows Media Player is made by Microsoft. The general help page for Windows Media Player is:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

Through this link, you can enter a variety of search terms that will help you find what you are looking for (exs.: “add files to my mp3 player”; “delete files from my mp3 player,” etc.)

Important Vocabulary:

The code word for “mp3 player” in Windows Media Player is “DEVICE” or “portable device”

The code word for adding files is “SYNC,” “syncing,” or “synchronizing”

The code word for copying files from CD is “RIP,” or “ripping”

The code word for files stored on both My Computer and my Mp3 player (when it is connected to the computer) is “LIBRARY”

To add files (SYNC) to your mp3 player using Windows Media Player 10:

To add files (SYNC) to your mp3 player using Windows Media Player 11:

To delete files from your mp3 player using Windows Media Player 10:

To delete files from your mp3 player using Windows Media Player 11:

My Directions:

1. Connect your mp3 player to the computer

2. Open Windows Media Player

3. Click on the icon of your Mp3 player on the left-hand side of the Library

4. Click on the Songs, Tracks, or other Music Folder

5. Find a song or songs that you want to delete

6. Left-click the song once to highlight it

Zune

The songs are most likely in the wrong format, or do not have transfer right - see my "tips & tricks" in my profile on song formats (2-part article)

Can the Zune sync with Windows Media Player?

There is a way and none of your solutions work. There is a software you can download and use as a Hack but the problem is that is does not work with Windows XP/Vista/7...Windows Media Player does not recognize the Zune as a devioce or a player, just like Windows will not recognize it as a storage drive in Windows Explorer. You would figure with Zune being a Microsoft Product, that it would work well with other MS products but they screwed up somewhere and did not get the memo that Zune is a MS product

Can't upload music onto zune!

Mp3 format is OK - I would reformat the player inside of Windows Media Player and try again.
