It's now telling me I have to de-authorize PCs that share mucis in iTunes. It also droppedĥ0 of 66 apps previously reported as OK. This time it dropped Zune from the non-compatible list. After I updated my Dell Back Up and Recovery program (as suggested by the first pass) I ran the checker again. the Windows 8.1 compatibility checker is quirky as well.

Still, should we be forced to run an MS product in compatibility mode?īTW - The Windows Phone Community is just starting to see this same problem it its forums. I cant seam to get Zune to install in windows 8 and keep getting the following event log When running this from a clean install PC it auto downloads and installs. The hack offered to reinstall Zune and run it in compatibility mode has yet to have a response to show that is working. It is clear that forum moderators or super users that should be in the know for MS products are not aware of this very serious problem - yet. I've saved both here.Īs of right now there are growing threads in various forums showing that Zune is not compatible with Windows 8.1 and as a Windows Phone user myself, the upgrade is also not possible for me without loosing Zune and phone connectivity. Makes you wonder what has changed and why an additional 100 MB give or take.Īnd worse, the version numbers on the two installer packages is carrying the same version number as you offered (.0). It now comes in at 270 MB (taken from the MS download pages). The installer, which I saved, came in at about 131 MB.Īfter reading all of these messages I opted to download the "latest" version of Zune. When I purchased my new Win 8 laptop back in March 2013 I downloaded Zune and installed it. It is also telling me I have to dis-associateĪuthorized PCs in iTunes and replace my Dell Back-Up and Recovery application that came with this BRAND NEW laptop that is less than a year old. The compatibility checker is buried somewhat and I am grateful I ran it first. This appears to be a problem just now surfacing as of late October and early November of 2013 as people blindly upgrade to Windows 8.1.

If this doesn't work its a deal breaker for me upgrading to Windows 8.1. Zune? Or better stated, -forced- to use Zune. What are the assurances that reinstalling Zune (the newer 270 MB download now being offered and still tagged as version 4.8 by the way), and installed in Windows 7 compatibility mode, will resolve this VERY SERIOUS problem for 10s-of-thousands of people using Zune software is the only way that we can add or transfer music or pictures and videos from the phone. I have A Windows Phone Nokia Lumia 710 running Windows Phone 7.8 operating system. I have version 4.8 installed which was freshly downloaded in March of 2013.

Windows 8.0 users are being offered a free update to Windows 8.1 but the compatibility checker is stating that Zune is not compatible with Windows 8.1.
