2nd Gen iTouch Date/Time Randomly reseting?

Using 2.2 firmware with 32GB iTouch the system date and time get set to some random new date time from past.
1) So far the random date-time has always been in the past.
2) Somehow related to iTouch being connected to PC.
3) Might be related to Sync [but not always].
4) Might be related to Vista going into sleep mode while iTouch is connected.
Any fixes or work-arounds?

I have the exact same problem and I have narrowed it down to the corruption occurring after my PC goes into sleep mode. I get the same failure on my two machines. One is a desktop running Vista and the other is a Thinkpad running Windows XP. I also discovered that I did not have a problem using my laptop to charge my ITouch until I loaded it with ITunes. I deliberately put it into sleep mode before loading ITunes and it worked fine when it came out of sleep mode. I then loaded it with ITunes today to see what would happen and sure enough the clock and time got reset to a random date and time once it came out of sleep mode. I have had this problem with the 2.1 and the 2.2 level of code on the ITouch with my Vista machine and it was only today that I tried my experiment with my laptop machine. I hope that Apple can come up with a fix soon, as this problem is very annoying, since I cannot leave my Itouch connected for any length of time without the clock going bonkers.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Could it be this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit...

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit... I restored the restored the software, but it didn't help - I'm sure its a hardware problem. Does anyone know what the fix for this might cost? Thanks
I couldn't see any other similar questions until this posted just a second ago - in case in helps with the diagnosis, the backlight does come on intermittently, which made me think it was a software problem, but now I'm just not sure.

I would make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Applew store. It is free except for your time. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished 2G for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place may be less expensive: Here us one. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.

Probably not, if memory serves, iOS5 is only available for iPod touch 3rd generations on up.

Solitaire City on 2nd Gen. iTouch

I've got Solitaire City on my 2nd gen iTouch. Here's my question for the group. When playing a game and you move a card from the field to the "home row", a bell sounds. On my iTouch I hear a crackle when the bell sounds. I'm just wondering if anyone else hears the same thing, or do i have a screwed speaker.
I hope to hear from others.
Thanks

- Purchase and install version 3.0 of the iPhone/Touch software from the iTunes Store.
- Go into Settings>General and set Bluetooth to On.
Note: The only Bluetooth devices that the Touch will currently sync with are stereo speakers and headphones (NOT headset/mic combos such as you would use with a cell phone).

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPOd via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

IPod touch 2nd gen restored 3 times in a week - hardware or firmware issue?

I have a 2nd gen 32 gig ipod touch that I purchased just before christmas. Everything has been just great until this past week. It has crashed hard..3 times now. I get the apple logo and it won't boot any further.
Each time has been random, crashed once while watching a movie, once in safari and once while playing a game.
I've just restored it, again. Anyone have any ideas? Firmware issue? Or hardware issue? Is there any way for me to roll back to a previous firmware?
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'd hate to have to send it back to Apple.
Thanks in advance!

OK now I get it.
You're going to have to do a full restore to factory settings and begin adding the music, video and apps back one category at a time.
Don't get in a rush, you need to know where/when the problem starts.
If every thing's fine for the week with music and video but crashes the day after you install "that app." then you'll know.
Also some apps have caused trouble in the past but you'll have to list them for anyone else to tell.
Just a note of warning : you may have a music or video file as the problem but you may also have a "quantity" problem.
The first will be fixable with a new file, from Apple(iTunes) if it's not something you created, so you'll need to have at least a rough idea of what was on your computer when the crashes started.
Make notes if you have to!
If the crashes continue then it's the Apple store, it could still be hardware or some program corruption, but at least you'll have eliminated a few contenders.

Cannot update 2nd gen iTouch to 4.2 because iTunes 10.2.1 won't update

Hello,
I have two problems. One, I need to update my iPod Touch 2nd gen to 4.2 (I am currently running 3.1.3). However, when trying to update I am prompted to update to iTunes 10.2.1 first(I believe that's the one). But the iTunes update won't complete. I get an error message telling me that it wouldn't update and to try it manually. I've tried that to no avail. This has happened several times over the last few months. I keep trying to update iTunes but I always get that error message.
So needless to say, my second problem is that I cannot update my iPod to 4.2.
Is there a away around this? Thanks.

I would completely uninstall Itunes and other associated Apple software and then reinstall the latest versions. The following provides the necessary instructions:

To recover from a lost Restrictions passcode:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:

2nd gen iTouch mic support?

I have a 2nd gen iPod touch (8 gig). I purchased a set of apple earphones with remote and mic. Although the manual for the earphones/mic/remote clearly states that they work with 2nd gen iPod touch I can only get the earphones to work. The iPod won't register that a mic is connected and the remote does not work to advance songs or adjust volume.
Is there something I'm missing here? The earphones have 3 bands on the jack and the jack is fully inserted into the iPod. I tested them using the "Voice memos" and "iTunes" programs as those are native and I would hope wouldn't involve glitches.
I also updated iTouch to OS. That didn't seem to help. Is there some sort of setting I'm missing or did Apple goof on the compatibility statements?

Can anyone help?
