  • Manufactures Technical Difficulty is what i think. Probably just a glitch in the system. Love your accent by the way :) :) :) :)

  • it was just a adustment bug (as microsoft says it will unfreeze the next day)

  • you got to open up the zune disconect the battery then wait a few seconds then plug it back in and it will be running better then any ipod ever could

  • heres a idea, fuck microsoft and get a ipod

  • ipods suck. every 13yr old has em, including you.

  • maybe but it doesnt mean that ipods are shit :P

  • nope, there just as good as a zune

  • hey man i have had the same but i just let mine sit in the loading screen till the thing dies then i plugged it back in let it charge for 30 mins and it works like a champ.........STILL the thing is built to last forever so good luck with your zune man

  • behn7 maybe you should shut the fuck up!

  • Well behn7 does have a point if hes stupid enough to buy one i think he deserves it.

  • ya well ipods suck nut sack so what else would he have gotten?

  • happened with mine aswel, but mine crashed while looking at some photos. i reset it and then it crashed on the loading screen, reset it again and it then said need to be updated, tried to update it and an error came up everytime. anyone had this happen to them??

  • mabie you shouldn't of turned it on lol

  • I'm stilling having a problem with my zune. My zune froze about 6 months ago. Please help

  • Simply hold down the back button and the up bottom for approximately 10 seconds or so, this resets your Zune. It just reboots the zune. wont delete or change anything.

  • stupid! just press pad up botoon with back button !!!

  • Comment removed

  • mine worked it will let me do the same exact things zunes should do...

  • typical microsoft.

  • the only reason why ipods suck because of the hardrive failure

  • Dude. yeah ipods do suck giant cock. i hate them. i'm getting a sansa Fuze because my bro has 1 and its pretty wicked. i've been trtying to get my zune to work for more than 3 hours now!

  • mine works

    but when i try to add more music on it, it wont work

    it wont delete off of my computer

    and microsoft doesnt know what to do.

  • im lucky mine still works i have a 30gb and so is my cousin

  • i must have been one of the fortunate ones that didn't have this problem. I Own a Black 30 Gig, and Red 80 gig. Loving it.

  • HAIL 120 GIG ZUNE

  • u must let the battery drain and then wait about an hour and plug it in AFTER 1/1/09 at 12:00pm (afternoon) then let it charge it works

  • update firmware

    its not Microsoft's Fault

    Blame it on Toshiba

  • why its toshiba's fault?

  • They Putted a Time Driver Wrong.

  • i know the solution its that the 30 gig zune had a bug that has to do with adjusting to the time and that only happened if u hooked ur zune to ur pc before new years all the zunes should be working again mine is u just need to wait till after january 1 then drain ur batteries and then charge ur battery fully then start it up it should work

  • my zune was freezing like his now it gets past the loading part and the screen goes blank and doesnt do anything the back light is on and thats it and microsoft has replaced my zune 5 different times this past year and each time i get a different problem if u the know a solution help me out

  • to fix it u have to let the batt die and then charge it on ur comp again

  • i can help... get an Ipod

  • So P.O. I'm still down even after lettin the battery diein and removin the battery. F-in microsoft no longer my source of mp3. has anyone tryed installin a 120 gb HD in a 30 gb case.

  • No F***ing way. i thot mine was the only one that did that. My zune held the loading bar and committed suicide by letting the battery die. . . poor Eva

  • .....OR you can call 1-800-China. So far I love this 120GB but I can't help but notice the print on the backside of the device. "hello from Seattle" - "assembled in China". I think that is a slap in the face for the $249.99 I spent with the free home A/V kit. These arrogant Seattle people are due for a major wake-up call similar to Detroit and neo-Hollywoodwannabebutitain't­nevergonnahappen Chicago.

  • The Zune 30 clocking driver did not recognize the leap year so it just did not work! What you should do it pull the Zune off the dock and let the battery die. Once the battery is dead restart you Zune the next day. After that I would make shore that there are no new updates for your Zune! I know this is late but if it happens again you know what to do!

    Ps- I have a Zune 80 Zunes kick Apples ipods ASS

  • So true, Apples suck!!!

  • it freeze, u might have to turn on ur zune before you put in to that thingy, it might work.

  • guys i just won a habu gaming mouse and soon will win zune 30 gb messege me and i ll help u out no spam

  • yar..i let the battery die 4 times and it still did the same..only way to fix it was to open it :3 and not it works but..can anyone tell me why my zune keeps freezing..is it because its a full zune it acts like a pc and starts to crash?

  • All right I think I can help you! What you need to do is format youre Zune. You can do this by restarting it. To restart it hold the back arrow and the up until the screen goes black. Once you see the boot up screen (Zune logo) hit the back arrow, center click, and play. After that the Zune will tell you what to do! it should work!

  • thanks my zune is clearing its contents thanks dude

  • take a shotgun to it.

  • love that double shot blue glow

  • creeeehhhhpyy

  • damn, i got the 80gb because i do need the extra 50gb, but it shouldn't be blamed on microsoft, or zune, because the same thing happened to my i pod mini, then the battery got messed up, and then i got a zune...the 80gb works fine though, and i bet it was just random...or an oman

  • send me a message if your zune is still frozen!! i can help you even if you have exhausted all other options numerous times i can help!!!

  • My zune is still frozen I have tried several things and my zune still says please wait in english also in spanish no other screen will come up.

  • iPods probably aren't better. Oh wait.

  • where should i buy my zune for a cheap price. Best Buy or Future shop!

  • online at amazon(dot)com

    BTW free shiping

  • mine did the same thing but i let the battery die and the next day it worked fine im using it right now

  • what i did is that i opened my zune 30 and unpluged the batt and pluged it back in and it worked fine

  • I unplugged my battery and mine is still frozen, also my zune started freezing about 6 months ago. Screen just says please wait in english and in spanish

  • Yes, The Story Is That It had to do with something about the leap year and the internal clock that messed it up i have one and yesterday i went to return it and they said to go home let it die on that screen then recharge it and it will be just fine so...

  • I have two zune 30s also,  why would that make someone a fag? Are you jealous you cant afford two on welfare you piece of shit?

  • my 80gb zune original works like a charm. get originals if you can, as i turned in my previous one and they gave me a whole new box set! i have 2 sync cables and 2 premium ear buds!

    zune rox!

  • My 30 is back up and running fine now. Anyone else?

  • fuck no. mines still down.

  • it has to do with the source code. apparently whilst writing the code for the zune, microsoft forgot to make sure that the clock starts over once the year is over...so everything just freezes up... just wait a little while and there will be an update.

  • its the frem ware

  • there is a way of fixing it and it is to get an ipod :D

  • Ipods suck

  • Buy an Ipod....

  • NO

    ipod

    no

  • dude ipds do suck.

  • WHAT?!!?!?

    The iPod is the most innovative MP3 player on the market today

  • im probably lucky. my 80 gb zune is fine....im so sorry for you guys that got their Zunes ruined..:(

  • its only the 30gb zunes

  • the 30gb zunesthought that this year only had 365 days but because it was a leap year it had 366 days.

  • zunes are better value than iPods, and they are less restricted, Apple and restricted the use of iPods to the point it is ridiculous, so much for microsoft being the ones who restrict customers... zune allows you a lot of freedom.

  • My Pod works on Linux Windows and OSX, and has NO drmed files. Zunes only work on Windows with windows DRM software. So much for the "restricted ipod" theory.

  • ya i got an ipod vid when they just came out, and in 2006 a software update froze all ipods. everyone got a free replacement but people like me, because i had a very shallow and unoticeable indentation on the back. i never bought an apple product since! they are just a bunch of smugs and snobs in my idea. they jipped me $400 and what does that mean to them? ZIP. plus my zune lasted more than 2 years so far and my ipod? 6 months.

  • they need the guy from office space to go replace all the 99's with 00's in their code.

  • the problem is you should of got a ipod!!!!

  • let battery die than charge again

  • My Zune....IT LIVES!!1!1!11!!

  • Oh no! Y2K9

  • ***way better

  • broke asses get an ipod why better

  • I heard about the ZK9 30 gb fail from a friend so I looked around on the internet to see what the heck was going on and it was true! I decided not to charge my zune dec 31 2008, and I finally got word that we just had to wait. I waited and plugged mine into the charger today and it was all good. It worked fine! The Zune has it's good stuff and so does the ipod. But I have a subscription and it sure in the heck beats paying 99c per song. Zune still rocks!!!

  • THE DAY THE ZUNE STOOD STILL.

  • lol "the day the zune stood still" lmao haha

  • ALL YOUR ZUNE ARE BELONG TO US. . .

  • The Zunes 30s are fixed now. They were failing cause theres a bug in the clock driver that it couldn't handle leap years (2008 was a leap year). If your Zune still has the glitch, turn it on (if its not on) and let the battery run completely dry. When its dead, charge it up and when it has enough power to run (probly around 10 to 15 minutes) it will start up normally.

  • hahaha mine fixed by itself =]....i had to do nutting but plug it in 2 da charger

  • damn thats ugly

  • I had a great New Years eve, Jamming my 160 gig iPod classic as I hit the parties. ;) Zunes can be killed by the calendar settings? That's just sad. The same people who think iPods are lame think this is acceptable?

  • my zune is working now, it did fail on me though.

  • get apple

  • It's time to use your IPOD sir lol

  • mine its not working yet

  • this is in todays newspaper, and all over the web since yesterday. i read about it yesterday in some forums and it didn't seem that serious.then i saw it in todays newspaper. electronics are rarely talked about in newspapers. But when they are its usually a big problem.

    apparently MS is in deep shit. they having a growing problem of ppl not feeling confident about their products ever since xbox 360, and now this.

  • it works fine for me

  • are the zunes working now?

  • i hear its only the 30GB thats having this problem, yea its weird. i doubt its working now cause its only been a day. MS has yet to find out wat is wrong.

    give it a week or two, by then they should be working.

  • I heard that the problem resolved itself this morning...

  • oh, thats good news. the way it sound in todays paper was like it will take forever.

  • zune Armageddon. good thing i have the 120.

  • microsoft fail...no a surprise...

  • at noon of jan 1, 2009 all the zunes should be working again.

    thats what zune posted on there main page

  • microsoft is bullshit why do you buy from them?

  • microsuck at its best. apparently it was something to do with the programing and the date change on leap years. something like that. crunchgear had a story about it.

  • Just let the battery go flat and try it again after 12 noon, I think you will find it will work.

  • serves you right for owning something made by microsoft...i mean really you should know what you are getting yourself into when you purchase microsoft products

  • I LET MY BATTERY DRAIN, I RESET MY COMPUTER CLOCK TO A "PM TIME" and a "JANUARY 2009 DATE," AND MY ZUNE WAS BACK, AND GOOD AS NEW! IT WORKS!

  • It's too zune to be impatient.. To make sure it wont happen on 2012, upgrade to Windows 7 and synch :P

  • its a new years prank is what i heard........

  • hi i have a zune too and mine did the same thinng i was PISSED!! anyways my uncle works for microsoft and i called him and he imformed me that microsoft is working on it and the problem should be fixed january first!! keep i on the charger and tommorow afternoon or night try it again!! microsoft crashed and t when zunes are fixed everyone who owns a 30 gig will have updated and better software!! it sux but there is a bright side to it!!hope i helped!!

    --RISSA

  • i have 2 30gb zunes and they both are frozen fuck microsoft.

  • why do you have 2? are you a faggot or somthing?

  • i got the same promblem i usually let it die then try it again but this time it didnt work but i read somewere if you do the same thing let it die but wait till 7A.M. jan 1

  • lol, this happens the DAY after I get my iTouch and stop using the Zune, niiiiiice.

  • Haha, Microsoft's "fix" for this is just to wait until tomorrow.

    What are the odds that MS will do nothing to fix this and the next leap year (2012) the same thing happens, assuming any of the Zune 30s are still alive then?

  • no fucking dance in new year eve

  • Connect your Zune to either a USB port on the back or your computer or to AC power using the Zune AC Adapter and let it charge.

    Once the battery has sufficient power, the player should start normally. No other action is required—you can go back to using your Zune!

  • That not workin either

  • nope dont work

  • Because the player is frozen, its battery will drain—this is good. Wait until the battery is empty and the screen goes black. If the battery was fully charged, this might take a couple of hours.

    Wait until after noon GMT on January 1, 2009 (that's 7 a.m. Eastern or 4 a.m. Pacific time).

  • "THIS IS ON THE ZUNE WEB PAGE"

    My Zune 30 is frozen. What should I do?

    Follow these steps:

    Disconnect your Zune from USB and AC power sources.

  • IDIOTS AT MICROSOFT... FORGOT ABOUT A FUCKING LEAP YEAR... HOLY SHIT LIKE FORREAL? HIRE ME I CAN DO A BETTER JOB THAN THE SHITTY PEOPLE YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW... and IM TAKING CLASSES FOR THIS SHIT

  • you can't be serious, this whole fucking crash due to not being able to follow a calender? its amazing, can microsoft just fucking make a quality product once?

  • i herd that major nelson and Microsoft is trying to fix the problem....

  • I hope all my songs/vids/pics will still be there if it starts working again.

  • 1. Disconnect your Zune from USB and AC power sources. 2. Because the player is frozen, its battery will drain—this is good. Wait until the battery is empty and the screen goes black. If the battery was fully charged, this might take a couple of hours. 3. Wait until after noon GMT on January 1, 2009 (that's 7 a.m. Eastern or 4 a.m. Pacific time). 4. Connect your Zune to either a USB port on the back or your computer or to AC power using the Zune AC Adapter and let it charge.

  • a what the fuck isn't that a trip, my zune failed aswell. Fuck it i hope they work normal by tommorow, but if they don't fuck bill gates i'm going to file a law suit hahahaha

  • i think they should put a reset button...

  • my shit just did right now fuck!!!

  • That is why you get an iPod.

  • Zunes all around the world, enjoy your day off....  you deserve it!!!

  • You could let the battery die. Me and my friend just took the zune case apart, unplug the battery, then replug it back in. It solves the problem. Be VERY CAREFUL when unplugging the battery. But it solves the problem and all is ok, it works just like new.

  • let the battery die. then recharge on jan 1st and it should be fine... atleast thats what MS said

  • a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year. That being the case, the issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009.

  • that's what I fought...let's hope it's gonna be ok...I really love my zune :(

  • "Do you know what it is???"

    It's a brown brick-shaped turd.

  • first,gonjamon99 thats not even a brown zune its a black zune.Next,the brown zune 30 is supposed to be like wood.Finally if the Zune is a turd then what is a ipod,Bird crap?

  • It's probaby because 1st gen zune were not made to handle the updated software

  • i think it is the goverments fault they are coming up with traking things helped by bill gates and they are wat caused this the govermet wants to see wat we are doning and how many of us bought the zune

    fuck the corporate world biiaach!

  • I am not really to mad about this issue. My 30 g Zune fell victim to this outbreak and I hope Microsoft comes out with a fix for it soon. and when it comes to which media player is "better" (Zune or iPod) it all comes down to personal preference. Like I said before, I am not mad, these types of things happen and hopefully they will be fixed. I don't know how they will fix it, but I think we as members of the "Social" should put faith in Microsoft that they will find a solution to the problem.

  • how do i FIXX IT??!!?!?!

    grr

  • what the hell is wrong with my zune,id haded since 2006 of december and all of a sudden it just froze, what the hell!!!! microsoft better give me a new one!!!

  • Its a common problem apparently. I find it odd that everyones seemed to crash on new years eve.. but Microsoft says its a problem with the 3.0 software and the 30 gb Zunes. And their working on the problem now so there is currently no way to fix it.

  • Silly guys!!

    Buy an iPod.

  • ipods are horrible, expensive, have to buy a new one every time they get an update, not user friendly, bad internal battery life, break EXTREMELY easy, theres too many problems to name

  • ipoops are ass-sukers

  • fuck da zune!! i threw my shit away, it waz a waste of money...FUCK MICROSOFT!!! i hate dis shit...im soooo pissed!

  • You are a true idiot. You probably stole it anyways.

  • n who da fuck iz u supposed 2 b?? dumbass nigga, microsoft IS da idiots...how ironic is it dat all da fuckin 30g zunes jus fuck up all at da same time in da same day?? aint no use of keepin it if i cant even listen 2 it, dats y i fuckin tossed it in da trash..n naw i didnt steal it dumbass BITCH

  • its a problem with the leap year timeing with the Zune 3.0 firmware and the zune 30gb

    All 30gb Zunes should be working fine by Tomorrow ( jan,1,09 )

  • type in proper English please?

  • Thats why iPod is the best!!!!!!!!

  • ipods are shit, if i had an ipod, id have problems like this every week

  • i think its too funny

  • ey my zune fd up right now, the thing said that it was out of battery and i plugged it in and it is STUCK!!!! FUCK!! and i dont want to pry of the back and shit. hope MS gives new zunes to everyone whose got fuckd up. the new 80 gig or 120 would be awesome

  • This happened to mine last night too, you can hard reset it, but I really wouldn't recommend doing that. The best thing we can do is just sit and wait for a new response from Microsoft with a fix... Oh well, It's not the end of the world, they'll be fixed.

  • Happened to me last night.

  • JUST HAPPEN  TO ME SHIT

  • my zune is frozen just like theres microsoft beter have my shit fixed by the end of the day

  • the robot revolution has begun..

  • just in 2 minutes ago Microsoft just announced that to leave your zune plugged in until the new upgrade comes and do not i repeat do not open your zune to take the battery out and plugging it back in your just messing it up and the upgrade should be by the end of the day

  • oh no!!!!!! I seriously hope that that isn't the only fix!! As I live in the UK I cannot get a zune account so can't get the updates!!!!

  • its the aliens fault. mine wont start to, battery died. charged it same thing all over again. f them aliens

  • all you need to do is pry off the black bezel around the ext connector on the bottom remove the 2 screws and pry apart at the seam with an exacto knife or something and remove the battery then replace the battery it works YAY

  • haha well guess who can still listen to there mp3's?
