Can't put music on DVP - Venue Pro General
Sorry guys, I'm new to WP7 and the DVP. I searched and came up with what appeared to be a different language. Let me explain where I'm at. I'm an Android person but needed a new phone and the opportunity arised to try this one so I took it. I like it so far, but I don't really like not being able to drag and drop files. So first I plug in through USB, nothing. Then I read about the ##634# turn on zune mode thing. Did that. Then realized I probably need zune software for music or anything like this.
So I downloaded zune, plugged usb in, at least now it recognizes the drivers. Open zune software, and zune on phone. zune on phone says sync complete right away, thought that was odd. Then zune sw on the PC says no device connected and it needs an update. I click ok for the update and this is where I am stuck now...
"Can't find the media for installation package 'zune WMDU component'. It might be incomplete or corrupt
Anybody know where to go from here? I just want to listen to some music lol.
Update: Now I got it to the point where if I hook the phone up and open up music, it says "sync complete" immediately. Even though it did nothing. Also the zune pc software shows no devices connected but after the "sync complete" message it says zune needs an update. I click ok, then it searches and says I have the latest zune software on my PC.
Is their not a way to just read this thing as a HD so I can just drag and drop music files? I called dell and the lady there was useless.
You can manually drag and drop songs, podcasts etc onto the phone if you prefer. However, this should be done within the Zune software - drop the items from your Zune library onto the phone icon on the bottom left of the screen to do this. (I manually sync songs in this manner. However, I have my podcasts set to update automatically).
p.s. you need to have added your songs etc to Zune before you can sync to your phone.
If your error is not fully resolved, see if the steps in the following article helps:

I don't think I'd be able to do that either. It never says connected in the zune pc software ever. I'm going to try that link right now.
Are you using the beta version of zune?
What OS are you running? all patch and to update? no virus, malware.. etc..
windows update updating more than just windows? it doesn't by defualt. "get updates for other MS products" or something like that should be on you windows update page.

Nope, downloading straight from zune.com Running windows 7 32bit. No virus' or nothing. The update thing, is just zune. Right now, I'm waiting til I get home to try my personal computer. This computer though is 2 weeks old so it shouldn't have any issues and isn't going through a network or anything. And it is updated.
Solved: ok, remember how I said I just got the phone? Well I literally meant about two days lol. I hadn't known that Mango hadn't came out yet. So after Microsoft asks me what version I have, they act strange. Now they were already remotely accessing my desktop so then they ask if I have their devkit. I say nope, and he checks. He asks when I got the phone and how I got the update. I say I had it a few weeks and I got the update ota. Dude even looked in my downloads folder lol. Then he goes, "well I don't know how to tell you this, but I think we accidentally sent you this update prematurely." he apologized. He could tell I had no clue about WP7.
TL;DR
Had mango, didn't know I needed the beta version of Zune. Got it working!

Zune Pass music on WP7 in Australia Working
Hi I hope I am not repeating stuff but I just worked this out. If you live out of the Zune pass areas and have the zune pass work around working on your PC then just change your "SYSTEM LOCAL" to English (United States) or where your Zune pass is at. I had my System Local As Australia and it wouldn't let me sync any Zune pass music to the phone. After changing my local all is working perfect.... Now I love WP7 even more. I still can't download from phone, Download is still greyed out when I press and hold on the album or song. I can stream the entire song from marketplace so it must recognise that I have a zune pass. We need to work out how to make the phone think it is set to US but with out change the timezone. Anyone know how to solve that?
Yep, I got your back. Have a look at this link, it's pretty easy, but hidden so I missed it the first few times as well. Hope that helps!
[Q] Is It Possible to Use Zune On-The-Go?
Has anybody been able to get Zune working from their phone, so that you can download songs straight from the phone without a PC? Like how it is shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNCDJLSP_Fw I know it's probably possible with a legit WP7 phone, but I am talking about our HD2's. I am using the 14-day trial right now, so I don't know if it's just a trial limitation or if it doesn't work for any Zune Pass level. Could somebody with a paid Zune Pass on HD2 please confirm if this works?
I have a zune pass and I can play music ( the full song ) from market place but the download is greyed out, I live in Australia and have a zune pass registered at my sisters address in US. The zune software on the computer all works, I can download and use all the Zune Pass features. The only thing is I think it is the phone must know it is not in US so the download function doesn't work but why can I play a song for more than 30secs and if I select buy it it says that it will take it out of one of my 10 monthly credits but I can't download, it must recognise I have a zune pass....... very weird. This is the same on a HD2 and a Mozart 7 so it is nothing to do with a HD2 software issue.
I just answered my own question today. I guess it takes a few hours to register a new Zune Pass to an account. I am able to download, and stream full songs from the marketplace by long-pressing the song now. The only thing you don't get with the 14-day trial is the 10 free downloads. =(
DVP and Zune freezing issues?
I have just received my second DVP and i updated it.... now every time I try to use it with zune - zune ends up freezing (or it seems like its frozen...maybe it just slows down?) either way there is something wrong and I cannot seem to get it fixed...any ideas? anyone else with similar issues?
Zune on the PC or Zune on the Phone?

Have that sometimes. I try to let Zune load up completely and make sure its running ok before I plug my phone in but doesnt always work and need to start again.

Click to collapse that sucks, I have been doing the same...I hope someone comes across with some good insight on this one....It's hard to troubleshoot it also since it gets stuck and task manager even takes a while to end the task sometimes...so I understand how it's a pain to do so....

Click to expand... Click to collapse Couple of thoughts here - have you just added to your media library, or has Zune had time to properly import your media? I noticed this when I first loaded Zune, but after it had some time to inspect my media files and populate my collection, no real problems after that. Also saw some lagginess the first time I synced my phone. One last possibility, Zune seems to slow down if I have a bunch of dynamically building sync groups that need to be cleared and rebuilt when I sync my phone. Just a few ideas and/or observations, hopefully they help.

Not only did it slow way down, but impacted laptop performance. After a couple of tries I erased the media and let it do a very simple sync....speed was back. I have an idea or, but I'll look at them tomorrow . Good call mage .
Next time it happens, check Task Manager to see if ZuneEnc.exe (maybe not that exact name) is using a lot of CPU. It's a process used by Zune to encode videos to the format used by the phone.
I have not tried the recent suggestions, but I would like to say that I have tried the 'Zune Media Collection Reset Tool' and had no luck still with that... I know when I had my 8gb dvp zune seemed to work fine...but now with my refurb (which is a 16gb) I have these issues.... I also noticed when I use wifi it seems to freeze up my phone...maybe related? idk...maybe the phone just desperately needs a firmware fix? or zune needs a fix? idk?.. I will return to this thread later when I have some more insight or info...
I have Windows 7 64 Bit by the way... I tried a samsung focus and it works fine... it seems to be something with my DVP and ZUNE on this computer specifically... I have tried another comp with XP 32 and its fine and now I will try a comp with Vista 32....
[Q] Reverse Engineering Zune (Zune Spoof)
With everyone always asking "how can I update without losing apps and contacts?", or "Can't I just update?" even "I just updated my phone a few a days ago and I need to flash another update?", I was wondering if anyone here ever thought of reverse engineering Zune itself? I know Skyscape has a spoof server to update its libraries for android and I wonder if Zune can do the same for our phone? Or even write an alternative program like Zune to push updates to our phone instead of just continuing to flash updated roms. I mean there can always be something that goes wrong with a flash i.e., sd corruption or incompatibility, or worst case scenario hardware corruption! I feel some people would rather just update a few new features rather than just flash an updated rom and redo all their apps and settings all over again, and have to deal with M$ if they didn't save their code, again! So it would be great if this can be done. It could even be a tool where developers can upload new features to this server and end users can simply plugin their usb to connect to this server and push the updates to their phones. Well, anything that is close to how zune and M$ do things!
W8 Metro Apps doesn't open
I have recently upgraded my windows 7 to windows 8 and have had lots of problems since that. Firstly I can't download/install lang packs. My laptop is from germany and I don't know how but when I upgraded to W8 it automatically changed to German and it doesn't give me an option to download/install any other language. [Solved] Secondly, I can't open any apps. When I click on one, it loads a screen saying "App Preview" and then comes back to the Start metro interface. How do I at least fix that?

I've given up on the lang pack thing. Click to expand... Click to collapse A friend of mine had exactly the same problem. Finally, it ended up with a clean install of Windows 8.
It may sound crazy, but Metro apps need hardware acceleration. Install the latest Windows7 driver for you video card.
Most of the integrated drivers have hardware acceleration. I get this problem every so often, just keep opening it till it stays open. Sent from my LG-LS670 using XDA
I have installed the latest Windows 8 CP AMD driver for the HD6000M series and still no-go. What else can I do that doesn't involve reinstalling the system. I can't lose my documents, photos etc... I have solved the language pack thing at least.

Click to collapse thanks for that insightful post mate, moving along.... ive had issues with apps not opening, but as already mentioned trying a couple more times usually works. Im not convinced about sticking with the upgrade, if you have the space id suggest a fresh install WITHOUT deleting the partitions, the install wizard will copy all your old windows folders to a new folder called Windows.old. You can then work through it coping all your files to the new OS and delete it when your happy. everything you need will likely be in windows.old\users\username\ another good place to hunt about is windows.old\programData\ before you try all that, this is going to sound stupid but have you tried turning off your computer?, yesterday Windows had updated some files in the background (WMC) my Mail App was refusing to sync with no errors at all, when I shut down the computer it came up that it was installing updates so I turned off the PC at the wall for a few min and when it rebooted it worked perfectly...
it's a common problem if you upgrade to win8. Solutions: 1.) Do a clean install (no upgrade from win7 or other win8 beta) 2.) Fix it. Save the below to a .reg file, execute it and restart your machine.

I have tried the regedit fix but that didn't work either. I think it's a problem with the videocard driver, as when I upgraded, I couldn't open CCC anymore. I'm trying to uninstall the driver to reinstall but I am facing some problems right now, the driver won't remove completely it appears and it won't let me update to the recent one.
Hey guys, I have tried multiple clean installs of win8 (RP) because repeatedly the metro apps stopped opening after working fine initially. I was able to nail the problem down to kasperky internet security. I tried webroot internet security and things are working great. Try it and trust me, it will work.
I don't think that is my issue here as I don't use any anti virus software other than MS Security Essentials.
Same issue here... Cut the rope and Weather will not work. Rest of apps do work. They all worked on Consumer preview... i did the upgrade to RC from there. I'm going to fresh install it next, but i was hoping i could work it out 1st.
It seems I managed to get the graphics card driver to work, CCC is now opening but still I can't get the apps to load. What now?
It's a common problem. I have trouble opening my apps too on multiple tries. It's not your display driver. Just keep opening the same app and eventually it will open. Sent from my LG-LS670 using XDA
download latest windows 8 developer preview it will work
No, it won't. The fix is the change to the Registry. Microsoft themselves have no clue about the issue - they'll tell you it's a graphics driver problem, but that's wrong. If the first Registry fix doesn't work, try this one in addition to the first: (it might break your installation!)
