For anyone else wondering this, the Zune interface may not be the same anymore, or may be different for different circumstances and users. If you cannot do it this way, you may also change the device’s name by connecting your Zune to your computer, opening the Zune software, clicking on “settings” (at the top, “Settings | Help”), click on “Device” (also at the top, “Software Device Account”), and finally click on “Name your Zune” at the left, where you can change your Zune’s name.
