Fixes For Zune Error Code c00d124d
Fix 1: Unsync and Sync Profiles
Many users facing the issue had found that un-syncing and synching back their players did the trick for them. All you need to do here is go to your Zune player’s Settings option. And under Settings, head to Device and click on the Sync Options. There you will get the option of Forget this Player. Click on it and unplug your device from your PC and Power Cycle your device.
As you can see from the recommendation by user @A.User in the screenshot above, and later a reply from user @billSteffen mentioned below. The solution does seem to work if the error has showed up as a result of a small problem with syncing properly.
Fix 2: Replace Outdated or Damaged Hardware
Another way which has proved to be effective in case of many users facing the issue would be to replace any outdated or incompatible hardware devices which may be causing the following error to occur.
Now these hardware can comprise of mostly your storage devices such as the SSD or HDD drives. Or, can even be your Zune device’s battery which may have gone obsolete and as a result is causing such trouble.
Now, although many would feel and argue that replacing such components requires some expertise and experience in the field. It is in fact not the case.
All you need to have is a good mini screwdriver and a spudger and you too can try replacing the components on your own.
To learn more about each component as well as how to go on replacing them. You can refer to the following website for guides on how to do so.

Simply try switching between the different USB ports and you might be able to solve the problem in your case as well.
Fix 4: Replace HDD or Bus Wires
Just like what we had seen and discussed earlier. If the issue is related to a hardware problem. Then, the best way to solve it would be to replace such component(s).
And although, this might happen very rarely. Still there is a chance that certain bus wires (zif cables) might turn loose or get damaged, causing the particular error to show up.
In such cases, it would be a good idea to either open up the device and plug such wires back properly or replace them with new ones as shown in the following video guide here.
And since, we have user @pandabubba97 who is said to have worked with 100s of these every month. I believe it would be safe for us to assume that the problem might just indeed be a knocked out loose connection or a battery problem fixing which should help you get rid of the following error as well.
Fix 5: Clear up your Windows Registry
There may be times when the problem causing the error might be with your Windows PC, instead of your Zune device.
