Currently music or video email attachments can be viewed but they will not be saved to the phone.
However it is possible to sync the media files (music, video and pictures) directly between a phone and computer with Windows Phone App (WP8) or Zune (WP7) PC applications or Windows Phone for Mac application.
To sign out from the Nokia Music account on a Windows Phone 8 device you have to logout from Nokia account since there is not logout option in the music application.
1. Exit from Music application.
2. Select Settings > Nokia account > ... > delete > delete.
To sign in again:
- Open the Nokia Music application, and select Settings > account > sign in.
Your credit card must be issued from the same country as the Nokia Music store that is being used.
Note! If some of the data provided includes “special characters”.
Please make sure that the Nokia Music application on your Lumia phone has been upgrade to version 3.8.
If 3.8 is not available (i.e. WP7), go to Nokia Music web store and add the credit card there.
How to resolve the issue:
If you are not able to see the Nokia Music application in the Windows Phone store/Marketplace:
Please select Menu and check in Settings > region+language that the two options Region format and System locale are both set correctly, for example a customer in England needs to set UK in both of these options, if they were set to a country where the service is not available then you would not see the app in Windows Phone store/Marketplace.
If these settings are not correct and you need to change them, please remember to click the link marked Press here to accept changes and restart your phone in order that the changes are saved.
Please note that due to licensing arrangements with the music providers, Nokia Music service is specific to certain countries.
The Nokia Music application is currently available to customers in the following countries:
Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA, Canada
Note: If you are in a country with multiple languages, or if you live in a country other than your country of birth, you can still set your own choice of display language without affecting this.
You can play your music files by using standard 3.5 mm audio cable. Nokia Lumia has an American Headset Jack (AHJ) 3.5 mm connector which is compatible with your car 3.5 mm audio connection.

Make sure that your phone has enough battery power for the installation process (and the download too, if set to manual). The update process will work best if your phone has at least half of its battery life available, or, if you plug it into an outlet during the installation process.
When you're downloading the update to your phone, and you haven't set up your phone to automatically download the update package, make sure that your phone has a Wi-Fi connection, or a good cellular signal.
Make sure that you have enough space on your phone to download and install the update. Here's how to see which items are taking up the most space on your phone:| • | Music |
| • | Videos (if backed up to your computer, or high resolution cloud storage) |
| • | Pictures (if backed up to your computer, or high resolution cloud storage) |
