    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.

    make sure the date and time on your computer are right as well and then sync it again

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    --D
