So I have Zune on three different computers and I am wondering for the apps does it matter if I use the same computer for apps since they are linked to my live account anyway?
I know the music is source dependant for syncing/changing/removing in regards to the computers. Is it the same for apps even though they are linked to a live account?
Thanks anyone.
Does not matter as you can download it again from Marketplace.
However its good idea to buy and transfer apps from Zune to Windows Phone from only one computer which will come handy when it comes to restore.
But I doubt if anybody is using Zune to Download Apps
nope... you can use zune on many computer to download apps, you can also do it from website without zune (and they magically appear on the phone)
You have access to all your apps online, so not really a big deal.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will probably start to get apps in the next few days, the phone however will probably be a couple weeks still.

Hi,
I have one Problem with my HTC HD7: I tried lots of Apps and Demos and I deinstalled a bunch of it after that. But now after a few days I see all my deinstalled apps back !!! I don´t want them back, but Marketplace loads them down again without a question to me. How can I disable this ? I´reinstalled my phone 3 times with hardreset, no chance. And I don´t want to use a new live account, because I bought some apps and don´t want them lost. any ideas ?
Thank you.
lol! I find the situation kind of funny.
What I do is just uninstall them again on my device. I think it has got to do with the syncing on Zune. Don't know really, I have no idea. & yes, it would be nice if there's someone out there who knows exactly what to do. Share please.
Suck big time
Finally installed a sd card in my Focus(after 2 months). MS has got to come with a better way. Zune put about four of the fifteen apps I had back on the phone. When I used Zune Marketplace to put the others on there, I got the message alreay purchase. So what put it on the damn phone! I go to the phone marketplace. Search for the apps, when I try to download them I get a message saying tap here. It says uses Wi-Fi or your PC to download. Don't have Wi-Fi and when I tried to install from PC nothing happened. I really loved WP7 until today. Unless I go sit outside a McDonald's I won't get my apps back.
agreed that this needs to be fixed. you can delete downloaded songs through zune, but not apps.
I will ask @ZuneSupport
this has happened before on my hd7 and i would hard reset it, and now its happened to my titan, my at&t wireless account app has disappeared after i updated it from the marketplace, it does not show up in my hub list, yet when I go to the market to reinstall it all it does is say "share" meaning that i already have it installed but it isnt visible for me to access.
does anyone know how to bring back this ghost application to my hub list?
I have a similar problem on my Mozart too, I installed a .XAP game (please don't stake me), but it didn't appear anywhere on my phone. Now it's taking up space and the marketplace says I already have it installed on my device. I also tried redeploying the .xap. It installs and everything's fine, but I still can't find it anywhere.
Oh em gee I found my app, it was renamed myAT&T , no longer under the As but under the Ms durrrr!
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm still having the problem, can't find them anywhere.
You know, I'd be way more inclined to help you if you'd just bothered to actually pay for the game. Piracy is pretty much a forbidden subject here on XDA, and you're not going to get much respect if you come here asking for help with it.
I'd bother paying for the games if I actually could you know, but since there's no Zune Marketplace in my country I can't. Piracy isn't the reason I'm coming here for help. It's just a .xap problem that could be from an application from any source.
I thought you said you were able to check the marketplace, and it said it was already installed? I know there used to be countries where WP7 was available but Marketplace wasn't, but I thought that got fixed with Mango.
Argh.. I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and hope you're more legit than you sound ("don't stake me"? Really?). Check the Xbox Live app, otherwise known as the Games hub. I keep mine pinned to my Start screen for easy access.
I can use the marketplace, just when it comes to billing for my UK account it requires a UK credit card and I don't have a thing like that. Virtual credit cards and etc. don't work. Anyways. It's nowhere to be found in the games hub or the applications. If I try to download the trial it gets halfway and says 'Attention required' with error code 8103010d, which, according to Microsoft's forums hasn't been resolved yet. I don't want to have it as much as I want to delete it right now.
OK, here I am with a cliche.
I have factory reset my HTC Titan, just for the fun of it, (to find out how awesome the process of a factory reset will be, but it was completed in just 1 sec) and backing up data completely ran out of my mind.
To top it all, my dreamspark unlock is gone. And now the official phone registration to unlock my phone is not working.
I know, I am a fool. But is there any way to get things back? I mean the apps that I have installed?
I usually do regular syncing with the Zune player, and thus got all my pics and videos on the phone. Also got all the music on my PC, so that's no biggie.
I just want all the apps back, because honestly, I don't remember the names of half of the apps. Is there any way that all the apps that I have purchased and downloaded (the free ones) from my windows account, gets automatically downloaded or synced to my phone?
Anything that you guys think might help my situation. Anything is welcome, even constructive criticism.
Thanks.

Go to http://www.windowsphone.com and login. On the top right you'll see your name with a little arrow next to it. Click it and choose "account". Right below your personal data you'll find a history of all apps and games you downloaded and installed. You can use this as a list and reinstall directly on your device or you can click the apps and send them to your device (or send an e-mail with the link to the according app). You can find the exact same history in Zune as well: click your name -> click "account" -> click "purchase history". Not sure about the exact names, since I use the german version.
Can't help you with your dreamspark unlock issue though, sorry. :/
I realize this might be more of an apple question but i feel like ive already searched to the ends of the interweb on apple forums and gotten nowhere and when i ask a question over there the only answer i seem to get is "shouldve bought an ipad"... So I'm wondering if there is a way to sync an itunes library with an android device without a computer? As far as i know, all of the common apps out there (doubletwist, airbind, etc) need to be set up on a computer first. Im trying to bypass this step with my little brothers iphone 5 and a rooted android tablet with ICS. I bouht him the tablet for xmas, but decided to give it to him early when his laptop was stolen earlier this week. He doesnt live near me or i would let him use my laptop to sync with his itunes. Is this even possible? Or will he need to find a computer? Please help!!!
There's doubleTwist player on Play Store which I've heard is pretty awesome at syncing iTunes- all for free. If you dkm't need a whole new player then there's quite a few other apps on market, not sure how reliable they are though...
Soryuu, thanks for the reply. My understanding is that you still need a mac or Windows computer to set up doubletwist I initially? Or am I wrong? Can I do this with just an iPhone and an android device??
Edit: Yeah, you need a desktop to work doubleTwist/Airsync and so on.
An iPhone and an Android device?
I don't think there's any easy solution to this except using cloud storage like Google Drive or something- which would be slow enough on its own- and even then, depending on how many songs you have it'd be a tediously slow process downloading them onto the tablet. If you are using cloud storage... I've never used iPhones so I don't know but can they make zips out of files? If you can that may make it slightly easier- zip the music up (if possible), upload to the cloud and then download it as one package.
There is this app that seems to work like NFC: http://m.wikihow.com/Use-Bump-Between-an-iPhone-and-Android
But 1.) Not sure about tablets- I assume so if its that popular of an app but there was no mention and
2.) Apparently its semi-functional according to some of the reviews I've seen.
I guess you could try it out and see what happens.
Other than that I don't think there's much else...

is thare a zune alternative? I cant get my phone to sync with zune no matter how hard i try is thare any other software i can use to put videos on my phone and get pictures off?
You can use skydrive.
Look for "Touchxperience", it's supposed to be an alternative manager for WP7 phones. I'm not really into it but I had to write some news about it and they were advertising it as an "alternative zune"
Is that a joke?
1- you don't have a wp7 device, you have a Frankenstein's monster, with wp7 installed on it, which is cool after all.:good:
2- there isn't an alternative, who would want it? Zune is pretty good at it, I thought about finding an alternative too, but discarded it after found NOTHING.
3- Even when there's no alternative, is just a matter of understanding Zune, my problem was the order of the songs, guess what? Zune can create and manage the playlists on the phone, you don't have to use Zune on your desktop (like me), you can use whatever player you want like Winamp and VLC (like me).
Play with Zune a little, you'll find that is better that some software out there that could be qualified as "TRASH music manager", *cough* iTunes *cough*
Just give Zune a little run test... OK?
Regards

Guys! Zune drivers - is a transport for WP like ActiveSync was for WM. And it has NO alternative. If Zune is not working to provide these features - nothing will help you.
