I'm running Windows 7 64bits via Parallels on a Mac and syncing has worked for me from the beginning but until recently some track can't be sync with my Zune HD. When a select an album and click on 'sync with Zune HD' it syncs the whole album, just a few songs or nothing at all. It looks completely random to me. The songs are playable through the Zune software though. I tried making a playlist and syncing that playlist, but it didn't work.
It checks my itunes folder on the Mac-side for new added songs and they do show up in the Zune software on the Windows-side.
I have a second problem aswell. I can't subscribe to some podcasts through the software, and that has worked for me before. Is this all because of the update that makes windows phone 7 devices compatible with the software? Does anyone have the same problem and got a solution?
thanks in advance
Question about
I'm having a problem with syncing my Zune HD with the Zune software.
DRM issues maybe? Don't know what else to say. As for your other issue, it could be the update. Have you tried getting in touch with them?

Are you grabbing podcasts only from the marketplace? If so just try using the podcasts RSS feed, as it grabs all the info that way also and you lose nothing (as far as I know).
I have no idea why the specific songs wouldn't sync, you've supposedly set up windows 7s libraries and such right? maybe try fiddling with those a bit in the settings of the zune software etc. On the pure windows 7 side of things I've had the software not even see certain images which is a pain, and judging from how little I seem to be able to do to solve that issue I doubt your song sync problem can be solved also if it's similar in nature.
You've looked at the formats of the suspect songs/albums right? Zune sees quite a bit but there may be some formats it can't see that maybe are originating from your itunes software, like drm-aac or something.
