I've had this problem several times before. When I sync my iPod touch(This happened with my old 1st gen one as well; I am using a 2nd gen one), it will mess up my time on the iPod. I think it has something to do with the Firmware, 'cause Its never done that before until I downloaded 2.0 for my 1st gen iPod touch. Its really annoying especially if you don't notice and you end up using the wrong time. I'm not talking about 3-10min off, I mean, like a month off. It has the wrong date and time. It'll say like, (this happened today), August 3rd, 2008 11:34pm.... and this happened about 10min ago. :eek:

Any remedies or other users experiencing this problem as well? :confused:

EDIT: Its a 2nd Generation running 2.1 now, and it STILL has the same problem.

When I said what I said, I meant, the time on the computer was right. The iPod is still messing up.

sorry for the confusion.
 
Its happening again!!! :mad:

I've made sure my computer settings are right, and they are... I've checked EVERYTHING!! EVERY SINGLE TIME I PLUG MY IPOD TOUCH IN, THE TIME AND DATE GET SCREWED UP INSTANTLY!!!

What do I do??? ALL AND ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
 
Can SOMEBODY PLEASEEE help?

I'm afraid to plug the iPod TOuch in 'cause I know I'll have to fix it, its becoming VERY annoying....... I'm begging for help. I'm desperate.

I posted this in another thread. I had the same problem and have found a solution and it's working fine for me now. You need to go into iTunes Edit-Preferences-Devices, and delete the backup for you ipod. then EXIT iTunes and then sync with your ipod again, time will be corrected based on the time of your computer.

Ok, I tried it... It seems to be working now....

Will it work forever? Or will I have to do this EVERYTIME?

Tried syncing again, it messed up the time again. Had to delete backup again to fix the problem, what a pain in the ass!
 
Just disable backups altogether, they really don't do a whole lot

I don't see how to disable backup. I only see a checkbox to disable auto-sync, which I would like to do. ANyway I tried to reset sync history button in the bottom and sync again twice and so far it seems to be working.

Yeah, I will check again tomorrow, and if it still doesn't work, I'm going to Reset my whole sync history.

Yeah... I just bought a song, and hooked it up, with the SAME problem again.... SO, I just reset my sync history.
 
Guy's,

You don't have to delete your back-ups, just simply shut-down/exit iTunes after you've sync'd for the day. When you come home and want to re-sync, simply plug in your ipod. iTunes will start automatically and your time and date will be right.

The problems happens when you leave iTunes open all the time and sync.
