Lumia 900 cannot connect to Zune

I just got a message on my phone saying there's an update available. The problem is, whenever I plug it in, Zune complains it cannot connect to the phone and tells me to restart the phone and try again. Restarting the phone does not help. What can I do, except just forget about this update and settle for the firmware the phone came with?
Zune worked in the past.
Solved!

  • Lumia 800 cannot connect to Zune

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my lumia 800 to my windows 7 computer but zune keeps saying: cannot connect to phone. Turn your phone off and try again. (something like that, the message is not in English).
    I have tried everything I could find to solve this problem but nothing worked so far.
    I have tried:
    - The fix-it utility of Microsoft. It says there are no problems.
    - Reinstalling zune
    - Turning the phone off/on
    - Delete a certificate used by Zune
    - Checking if the drivers are correctly installed. Device manager does recognize a lumia 800, also there are no problems detected there!
    - Using a different USB cable
    - Using a different computer (have tried 3 computers so far, all gave the same error message)
    - Resetting the phone to factory defaults.
    I need to install the update to solve the battery drain problem, but nothing works
    Does anyone have some extra tips that may help connecting my phone to zune? Thanks in advance!
    Solved!

    I just fixed it. For anyone also looking for the solution this post from the windows phone forum helped me:
    (link to post: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-sync/cannot-connect-nokia-lumia-800-to-zune/e1...
    So first of all: remove the certificate following these steps
    1: Go to "Start" and in "Search" type: certmgr.msc
    2: Open the folder "Personal" and then "Certificates"
    3: Remove the zunetuner certificate (If there are more than one, remove them all)
    4: Open the private keys folder by typing in "Start" and "Search": %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA
    5: Rename the "S-1-5-21..." folder's name so it ends in .bak. (A new folder will automatically be created when Zune is launched and the phone connected.)
    If this corrects the problem, restore the private keys folder:
    1. Open the folder at %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA that you renamed to end with .bak. Select and copy all the files.
    2. Go back to "Start" and in "Search" type: %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA and open the new folder that was created automatically.
    3. Paste all the files back into this folder. When prompted with "There is already a file with the same name in this location" choose to not move the file, leaving the file in the destination directory.
    4. The folder renamed to end with .bak can now be deleted.
    And afterwards (this fixed it for me):
    The devil is in the detail - simply deleting the certificate didn't work for me (it wasn't re-created afterwards).  After deleting all the certificates you need kill the Zune auto-launcher process before plugging the phone back in

  • Cannot connect to Zune

    Whenever I try to connect my Lumia 900 to Zune for this latest upgrade, it tells me the connection fails and tells me to reboot my phone and try again. Rebooting and trying again does not help.
    I had this same problem with the previous upgrade. Back then I succeeded in upgrading after I deleted certificates and Forgot the phone on Zune. (The only other time that Zune connected to my phone successfully was when I first installed it.) This time I've deleted the certificates but cannot forget the phone because it doesn't connect.
    I asked my two friends who have Lumias if I may try connecting to their computers (I received advice to try on another computer on this board). Both said they don't use Zune because it never works for them. I tried on one of their computers nevertheless, but of course it didn't work.
    Does this mean I will never get an upgrade ever again? If so, how do I stop my phone from telling me every two days that I have an upgrade available and should connect to Zune to run it?
    Please don't tell me I'll have to hard reset my phone to connect it with the application that I'm supposed to use for backing up my data.

    I have the same problem, cannot sync my phone (Lumia 900) with Zune. I even went through Zune Support and they were no help at all either. They told me that it was wither the phone was faulty (which it is not) or that there is software on my laptop that is interfering with the phone being recognized. (in this case since I have iTunes, Zune Support said that this is the problem. Even doing the soft boot didn't help.
    The way that I found that helped, that is if you have it enabled is log out of your own user account and log into the Administrator account. Connect the phone and Zune will enable the connection to sync your phone to the computer. Admittedly you will have to put everything in the public folder (for music, photos, etc) but it is the best way that I have found (by myself) to get what you want on your phone from your computer.
    It is just a pity that Nokia does not use Nokia Suite for things that Zune does not do.
    I hope this helps all of you, because even though it is tedious in doing it this way, it is at least one way that does work.

  • Lumia 900 bluetooth connection drop

    Hi,
    I have a Flyaudio multimedia head unit (type 80054A1) in my car and I just recently bought a Nokia Lumia 900 with 7.5 software version. The problem is that it connects the phone, finds the call records etc etc, seems everything is working fine. And then it starts droppng the connection - maybe a 30 seconds and the connection is lost, then another 15 second or so and the connections is back on, and so it repeats itself the whole day. I updated the phone to 7.8 and still the same continues. At the same time, my wife's phone stays on connected the whole time, as do other friends who have tried this. As far as I have checked all of the phones have BT 2.1+EDR (the multimedia unit itself is 2.0+EDR). So it should work fine, but for my Nokia it isn't.
    Please help me as this is geting totally frustrating.
    Thanks!

    Hi lumiasubaru,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Have you already verified this to your car's manufacturer if the Lumia 900 is compatible with its Bluetooth? You can also try to soft reset your phone by pressing and holding the Power button for 10 seconds. After it’s off, press the power button to turn on your phone again.

  • Lumia 900 Cellular Connectivity problem (AT&T) aft...

    I've had a Lumia 900 on AT&T for about 5 months and have not had any connection problems.  However, after the Tango update (OS *.8779.*; Firmware: *.12223), when I take my phone into work (which has no cellular reception normally) for an extended time and then take it outside it will sporadically not reconnect to the cell tower.  It will show no connection forever.  If I turn airplane mode on then off or turn off and then on the data connection, which seemed to fix similar problems before, I still get no connection.
    The only solution is to restart my phone.  One time it kind of hung on restart.  The other time the phone froze up when I was trying to turn on/off the data connection.  Restarting brings the cellular connection back. (Almost as if whatever software is controlling the cellular connection is crashing). 
    *I also installed the beta Nokia Counters program after the update -so that may be the problem too?
    Has anyone else experienced this before.  Is it a Tango issue, or a common issue that coincidentally started for me after the update?

    I am having a similar issues with Wifi & cellular connectivity Issues. In addition, am seeing that my Lumia 900's screen is turning black with no response from the power button or any other buttons (bottom buttons will be light though). I have to reset the phone by pressing volume power camera buttons. And one or two times today it had issues restarting cycling the Nokia logo, AT&T logo, then black screen about three to four times before it showed the Windows Phone logo to fully boot up.
    Totally Disappointed. 

  • Lumia 820 cannot connect to PC via Bluetooth

    Hi there. I have recently bought a new Lumia 820, which is a great phone, except that I cannot connect the Lumia to my PC (win 7) via Bluetooth. I have been using phones with bluetooth for a long time, so this is not my first time. I can see my pc in the list, but when i click "connect", the phone is connected to the pc for like one second and then the connection breaks up. Transfering a single file by clicking "send" and then "bluetooth" is no problem, but the connecting directly between the pc and the phone via bluetooth instead of usb cable is no success. Can anybody help me out here please? Thank you!
    Solved!

    A continuous data connection is not supported. In all fairness it's kind of like trying to fill a tank using a thimble.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 cannot connect to PC "USB not reco...

    Hi,
    Sorry for sending you a private message but i dont know who else to recur to.
    I've a Lumia 920 that is not on warranty any more. (Bought on internet).
    I'm from Portugal and the phone came directly from Switzerland.
    I cannot connect to my PC. I've tried everything from usb cable, diferrent PC's, different Windows Softwares, even Android Tablet and nothing.
    Then I went to my town Nokia Care Store and they tried it did not work also with them. They ended saying to me that they could not solve my problem.
    Then I tried with a friend that have an Lumia 920 connecting my L920 to his computer and one more time it did not work.
    Finally I talk to private mobile technician that had a new usb internal cable and changed it for me. Also did not work.
    I really dont know if the problem is L920 motherboard or any software problem that just dont let me connect to the PC.
    I always get the message "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED".
    My only issue is this one because all the rest works perfectly. Even USB charging.
    Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    A Nokia phone which was intended for sale in any country of the European Union plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or Turkey would be covered for two years by the European Limited Warranty which is valid in all of those countries. When you visited Nokia Care, did they check your IMEI against our systems to verify the warranty status of your phone?

  • Lumia 820 cannot connect hidden WIFI with special ...

    Dear all,
           I found Lumia 820 could not connect hidden WIFI (non-broadcast SSID) with special configuration. Just as shahidzafar said in Microsoft community (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpnetwork/nokia-lumia-820-cant-connect-to-hidd...).  I face the same issue with his Lumia. Could anyone face the same issue? Do we need to update some patch for Windows system on Lumia? Thanks.
                                                                                                                                                                               Tianhao.

    I have exactly the same problem. Would appreciate some advice.
    Please don't suggest changing the settings in the corporate network - this is simply impossible. And unnecessary, as I can judge from the other Windows-phones of my colleagues (not Lumia 820) which CAN connect to the hidden network.
    Thanks!

  • Lumia 800 cannot connect to my car's bluetooth

    Got my Lumia 800 last week and i'm very happy with it - except for one thing. It refuses to connect to my car's bluetooth hands-free system.
    The car is a Ford Mondeo XR5 (2009), with factory-fitted bluetooth.  I've used several other phones with the car system with no problems, including my old Nokia 6700 classic, Samsung Galaxy S2 and Nokia N9.  These all conenct and work fine.  Just not the Lumia 800.
    I've used Zune to get the latest software for the phone, and have checked bluetooth is turned on (can connect to my laptop OK).
    I've spoken to Ford and they say the car system is working fine, since it can connect to all the other phones OK.  Spoke to Nokia support & they refer me back to Ford .
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Check for updates for your in-car bluetooth system, 2009 hardware is very very old by today's standards, especially since car bluetooth systems are lagging a few years behind other technology by default.

  • Lumia 920 cannot connect to London Underground Vir...

    Hi there,
    I have never been able to connect to Virgin WiFi in London Underground since I have had my Nokia Lumia 920 since December 2012 (it says "connecting..." for a while, then says that it could reach the network, altough the signal is strong). I used to be able to connect to that network without any problem on Windows Phone 7, using a Samsung Omnia 7 or a Nokia Lumia 800. This has been tested at different stations where Virgin WiFi is available.
    OS version: 8.0.10211.204
    Firmware revision number: 1232.5951.1249.1018
    Note: I'm a an EE customer and I am register for free Virgin WiFi on London Underground. I do not think it's an operator related problem since I cannot even connect to the WiFi network.
    Note 2: I have no problem connecting to my home or work wifi.

    UPDATE: The mod's edited my post and unfortunately removed some of the explanation of why my connection to the tube wifi has been restored. I didn't mean to cause trouble, mods - sorry! Am I allowed to confirm that manually flashing the most recent 920 UK EE firmware has instantly restored my tube WiFi?
    Hi,
    Just thought I'd update, if anyone's interested.
    Manually flashing the most recent 920 UK EE firmware has restored my tube WIFI connection - the phone connected instantly this morning when I selected Virgin Media. I do, however, seem to have lost the updated 'Storage Checker' option in the Settings menu that appeared with the original OTA update. Still, you win some, you lose some. I use the tube WIFI far more often so I'd rather have that.
    It seems that, at least with my phone, every OTA firmware update renders me unable to connect to the tube WIFI. Manually flashing either the same firmware or a different version restores it, but comes with the tedious hassle of losing some settings.
    I'll just have to see what happens with the PR2.0 update that's apparently coming in July...

  • Cannot connect my Windows7 64 to Aitport Extreme

    Hi,
    I just switched to Charter internet service and they no longer provide WiFi.  I connected my Airport extreme to their cable modem and my MBP connects perfecly.
    However, when I try to connect my windows 7 laptop or my Nokia Lumia 900 windows phone, the connection fails.
    My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) sees the network as available but fails to connect when I provide the password.  Same goes for my Nokia Lumia 900 device.
    Prior to that I was on AT&T's Uverse wireless system and all my devices conneced just fine. Any ideas?  Assistance in resolving this is greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Hackintosh,
    Thanks for you promt reply.  It is now working. Actually, the AE was already on DHCP & NAT mode.  What I did was enable Bridge on my windows7 wireless adapter.
    Interstingly though, now my Nokia Lumia 900 also connects and I didn't (couldn't) do anything to it.
    It all works now and thats important. 
    Thanks again for your support.

  • Cannot enable Internet Sharing on ATT Lumia 900 du...

    I have a Lumia 900 in the US.  It was only sold by ATT in the US.  I however am not with ATT, I'm with Straight Talk, an MVNO.  When I try to enable Internet Sharing on the phone it pops up a message saying I need to contact ATT.  I have no business relationship with ATT and they cannot help me.  I would like to remove this message so I can get Internet Sharing working on my phone.  The phone is unlocked, but that didn't seem to make the message go away.

    Ok after feeling very positive that this was now going to work I can report that my call 611 ATT notification is now back and the internet sharing does not seem to want to be available.
    Other observations that are worth noting.
    1) You need to configure the internet APN using Nokia Network Setup with the fast.t-mobile.com and the MMS with the epc.t-mobile.com or the internet connection cuts out every time you hit LTE speeds. So thats only three entries required in the config the last being the MMSC address available on the T-mobile site.
    I am enjoying my handset on T-mobile with the internet speeds, I would still like to use the internet sharing so I will continue to drill down and look or a way around the issue.

  • Cannot update lumia 900

    Hej, 
    i saw that update 7.8 is available for the lumia 900. I bought the Att version state side, but when i check on zune it says it's up to date. What's the deal, nokia site says update is available for the att lumia 900. 

    It is available for the Lumia 900 but updates for network branded handsets have to be localised and approved by the network, hence a possible delay. You should try contacting AT&T to ask them when they intend to approve it.
