This article describes how to update your Zune device to the current Zune device software, also known as the Zune device firmware.

Zune Firmware is embedded software that controls the operation of hardware devices. At first, the firmware is installed at the factory. However, you can upgrade the firmware for a piece of hardware when improvements become available.

To determine what version of the software is installed on the Zune device
    1. On the Home screen on the Zune device, select settings, and then press the center of the Zune pad.
    2. Select about, and then press the center of the Zune pad.
    3. Select zune, and then press the center of the Zune pad.
To update your Zune device
    1. Make sure that you have the current version of the Zune software installed on your computer.

    2. Connect the Zune device to your computer by using the Zune sync cable. Use a USB port on the back of the computer. Do not use a USB hub.

    3. Open the Zune software while the Zune device is still connected to your computer. The Zune software searches the Internet for the latest version of the firmware. If a newer version of the Zune firmware is available than the version that you have installed, a notice to update your device appears. You can also manually check for new device updates by clicking Settings, by clicking device, and then by clicking Device Update.
