Question

Answer 1

The microsoft zune software is not configured to run on the mac. Seeing as to how they are competitors. Unfortunately, it may come down to you purchasing a windows based system or trading in your zune for an ipod.

I am not aware of any software that is compatible with the zune that runs on a mac. If something is present it is a hack type of situation that could cause firmware issues within the device. Some have tried and have been successful to an extent but as soon as new firmware is installed they would have to reconfigure to keep the connection between zune and mac working.

Here are a few articles of people who have tried or experimented with these match:
