MS will be dropping Zune from Windows 8 for a Active Sync type Windows Phone Manager. They are also looking into developing a new music service/player so it doesn't look good for Zune.
Probably need an updated version of your sync software.

I'm running the latest HTC Sync version 3.0.5617
Thanks
Did it try to install drivers at least? Try a different USB port and see what happens.
Same problem here with my HTC Evo 3D
I had same issue with several usb devices. Check for yellow bangs in device manager. I ran windows update and then right clicked on the device choose to update the device. Also on the rezound I had to point it to the htc driver folder in program files folder.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm trying to sync my Hero but it's nerver be recognize by the HTC Sync program.
I've tested under Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x86 and Windows XP x86 but every time it's the same problem.
Windows detect the device but not HTC Sync.
Is there something special to do on the device or in HTC Sync ?
btw, I'm using latest release of HTC Sync
Download the 2.04 version of HTC sync. This worked for me and was tested on Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 x64
Link is UK version of HTC.com but works just fine

Thx, but it was only better for 5 sec
The Sync app, find my phone, and ask me a little name. It has been connected during 5 sec in the HTC Sync and then disconnect and can't connect anymore.
I've update the driver with the one I've find somewhere here in the forum but same problem
Any other suggestions ?
hi,
I having similar issue....
I am running Windows XP...
downloaded the newest version of Sync from HTC last week...
it worked .... i snyced... with contacts and calendar...
even loaded a few programs via Hot Sync...
this week.. I have tried several times to Sync / connect...
Hot Sync.. just dont see the HERO.....
But I can Mount the SDcard and access all data.....
so.. what do you all think... has changed.. settings??
Thanks..
I've got it running with the latest release of HTC Sync.
The problem (under Windows 7) is that Microsoft has release a driver the HTC Phone but it's not working with HTC Sync.
So you need to go into the Device Properties of Windows and change the ADB Modile device driver to point the HTC driver located generaly in %PROGRAM FILES%\HTC\HTC Drivers\Drivers\etc.....
Hope it will help you...
2.0.18 will be out soon, that's W7 compatible plus fixes a few other bugs

I was using Windows 7 x64 for this, and it helped see the device in HTC Sync and android SDK. Hopefully this will help out!
Workaround HTC Sync fix for Windows 7
i had windows xp.. check for updates... there was a lot.
rebooted...
now works..
hope it keeps working...
I have done dozens of searches and come across hundreds of people having the same issue as me and not one solution that actually works...
The software: HTC Sync, version: 2.0.18
The OS: Windows 7
The device: HTC Magic (Stock Rogers version)
The issue: HTC sync installed fine, all drivers installed fine, when I connect my Magic to my PC my phone notification area gives me the option to "HTC Sync" when I select that and it searches for a minute or so it says:
"The phone cannot detect HTC Sync at your PC. Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened on your computer."
Tried rebooting my PC and tried rebooting my Magic (as a few different posts suggested). Tried installing different versions of HTC Sync, but 2.0.18 should be the right one as HTC says that it is for Windows 7:
"This release of HTC Sync for Windows 7 allows for users to sync their Android phones”
It seems Many people are having the same issue as me and yet no one has a solution?!?
Any help, pointers or advice would be Very much appreciated.
I've found that it is easiest to just avoid htc sync on windows 7 altogether. Tried to get it working for like 8 hours yesterday. You may be able to make it work if u use windows 7's xp virtualization mode (Google it) and install the program in an xp environment.
But honestly, i say avoid it until HTC makes it work properly

Well even if I wanted to just give up on syncing it, if I can't get my Magic/PC to recognize each other then I can't ever root/upgrade my phone, so giving up is not an option.
Ok I have managed to finally find a solution that works (for me).
1. Install HTC Sync
2. Download these drivers: http://depositfiles.com/files/yd61xorii and then Unzip them
3. connect your Magic to your PC
4. on your PC select: Start>Control Panel>Device Manager>ADB Interface>Rightclick>Update driver software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software>Browse to the location you unziped the drivers to>Let Me Pick From A List(Don't let it pick or it will pick the wrong ones!)>Click on "My HTC">Click Next.
Done.
you can root and upgrade w/o htc sync.
I did it yesterday. you just have to use the goldcard method to flash the proper spl, then you can put anything on the sd card. Windows recognizes the phone as a flash drive regardless of wether or not it works with sync

You can flash your SPL without connecting your phone to your PC? (I just got my Magic to I have never done anything to it yet)
But anyways I also want the ability to use my carrier upgrades and for that I Need my phone to recognize my PC.
And most importantly I need a seamless way to keep all my different phones in sync with Outlook and HTC Sync is the only way to do that. So I'm glad I got it figures out.
HTC Sync here shows it works with Windows 7 now:
http://87.106.248.77/download/Driver//HTC Tattoo/HTC Sync 2.0.18/HTCSync.exe
yeah you can flash a new spl w/o connecting to computer.
but by all means, if you got it working, more power to you
Ive tried all the above idea to get HTC Sync to work on my PC (with Win 7) nothing works......

Have you got your Magic rooted and customized the ROM?
I was able to connect few days ago, after I upgraded to 1.6 and lately 2.1, I was unable to do so...
Hey guys,
I am sure this is a topic that has come up in the past, so bear with me.
i recently got a sprint HTC hero(converted by a friend from an iphone)
i hooked it up to my pc and i can't get HTC sync or windows to recognize my phone due to the drivers bug. Windows will only recognize it as a storage device.
I am currently running Windows 7 64 home edition.
i tried the solution posted on the unlocker but have had no luck.
(new user won't let me post link lol)
any help would be great
Thanks!
After posting the above post, i decided to rework everything...
it took me a few hours but i discovered a work around for the work around that wasn't working for me lol
thanks to everyone who read the post
sorry for the waste of space :-/
and you're going to share it with us, right?

Indeed,... Let others know how to solve the issue.
Hey guys sorry it took so long for the reply, I was dealing with a family crisis and hadn't had much time to do anything.
you will have to find your sources for Sync and the drivers because i can't post links in the forum.
This is how I solved my problem:
1.Download latest specialized sync tool from HTC, namely HTC Sync 2.04 from HTC
2. Install the downloaded program on the computer. At this moment, your computer still won't recognize the HTC Hero.
3. Manually update the HTC drivers from Windows 7, using the Windows Vista drivers
by installing HTC Sync software on a machine running Windows Vista and then copying the drivers (namely androidusb.cat, androidusb.inf, androidusb.sys, htcrndis.cat, htcrndis.inf and WdfCoInstaller01007.dll in HTC Drivers folder) over to the Windows 7 machine. or you can manually download the drivers from someplace like theunlockr.
4.Extract the driver into a folder. For example, %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64 (for the Windows 7 64-bit) or %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86 (for the Windows 7 32-bit) accordingly.
5.open devices and printers
6. right click your android phone and choose 'properties'
7. go to the "hardware" tab and again select "Properties"
8.on the general tab click"Change Settings"
9. Go to "driver" tab
10. Click "update Driver"
11. The window that pops up will ask how you want to find the driver. Be sure to select the option that allows you to browse your computer for the driver.
12. Navigate to where you saved and unzipped the driver.
13. reconnect phone
now if everything went well HTC sync should recognize your phone.
now if this doesn't work msg me and i will try and help you to the best of my abilities
I know this is a rather old post...but I have recently just switched back to the Hero after taking a trip to webOS land...I have followed these instructions to the letter, but my phone still does not show up in Devices and Printers...Do I need to be using exactly the version of HTC Sync mentioned here, or should newer versions work as well?
Also, in other places I have read, it mentions that the Hero should pop-up a notification asking to allow a connection to the computer or something...I haven't seen this...is there somewhere in an app setting that I may need to change a default value?
Hi,
Was trying to setup HTC Sync on my PC for the new Wildfire.. The previous HTC Touch was running fine thru Active Sync on my Win 2003 server.. but HTC Sync installed with two failures Windows 11 Media format and HTC Drivers could not be installed.. Later I copied HTC Drivers from supplied sd card and tried to install them separately but it says "Can be installed only on XP/Vista".. is there any ways I can use HT Sync on Windows 2003 Server.. Also will the same problem persists on Windows 2008 server.. I can connect phone and use as Storage but not HT Sync, while HTC Touch is running fine.. any other way to transfer all the contacts/notes from HTC Touch (Win 6.1) to Wildfire(Android 2.1) with just one common sim..
thanks
Windows 2003 Drivers
Hey, Download the file attached to this post. Install the newest HTC Sync 3.0.5481, run the installer, you will have two failiures, the Windows Media Runtime, and the USb drivers. Ignore them and continue with install.
After your done, connect the phone, it will say found new hardware ADB, do not let windows search for it, it will never find it. Instead point to the folder you downloaded, might ask you if you should install unsigned drivers, say yes and viola drivers installed, and htc sync ready to go
Sometimes the drivers need to be forced to install, the Windows hardware installer isnt the sharpest tool in the shed at times
Enjoy.
I connect my phone but zune (software) on pc says no device connected????
Wow, short and too the point, could you perhaps give us a step by step of what yove done/tried?
make sure your phone is ON and unlocked, ie your looking at the tiles.
insure Zune is installed and setup,
If your using a USB hub try not using it, or try a different port
Do you have the HD2 reg edit to make it a HD7?
do be honest there is many many many reasons, the Microsoft KB can help as well
Had similar issue.
BB OS is Windows 7. Device did'nt want to recognize.
I updated driver using this set DP_USB_wnt5_x86-32_80911 and everything went OK
i have done/tried everything you have mentioned.
what is the reg edit to hd7?
with your phone connected to the pc, go to the device manager and see if you can find you phone (it will be in phones or mobile devices or usb devices). if it has a yellow icon next to it then it, or it shows up as unknown device then there is a problem with the driver. im on windows 7 and i had this issue, but mine was showing as unknown device. when i right clicked it, i selected update driver, then search online for driver and it found and downloaded the driver and it worked
SO when I do a reg edit..will my HD2 be on windows 7 mobile???

no.
I can't connect to Zune either, reinstalled WP7 and Zune still no luck, reinstalled certificates too just says to restart reconnect
Try downloading windows mobile device center. see if that helps your computer recognize your hd2. Also try unlocking it again. pm me if you want the link to another thread on here that helps, appareantly im not allowed to post a link of another thread? Idk, but last time i did, the thread got closed.
Same boat chaps and YES, tried all the above but I am still on win 6.5. Do you think that could be why? DOH?
You want to update to win 6.5 to win 7 mobile?
this is not supported by Microsoft. Your HD2 can't be updated by active Sync or Zune. you have to insatll a cracked ROM-Update.
Search in XDA-Forum for installation guide.
have luck
i have install zune & htc sync but no drver for usb
HTC HD2 will not connect to Zune (software)
Thank you ca MARHE I had a HD2 and I installed Rom 1_HD2 Pdaimatejam Wp7.8 OS v8.7 7.10.8858.136 RMT I had the same problem and I rule following what you say thank you
