Initial setup and sync on different computers?

o98 · 06-12-2008, 09:58 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm planning to get a Zune 80 tomorrow afternoon as it is the Canadian release date. Perhaps this is a dumb question, but I want to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot.

I will probably do the initial setup (as I understand there to be a few steps) on the Zune on my office PC, just to wander around the menus and such things, maybe throw a picture or two on the device for kicks. But after that, I will be syncing the Zune at home on my own PC. So I guess it's only "visiting" my office PC, but it's "home" is my home PC.

Will the Zune get confused and flake out, or are all systems go?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, welcome to the boards.

No its ok to use more than one computer. To make your "home" computer the main library, all you have to do is when you connect the cable choose sync library with this zune (a message will come up asking you).

Better yet, when you connect to work computer for the first time choose "guest". This means it will not be devices home library.

Hope that helps
