Date and time on my iPhone keeps changing to GMT or Cupertino time

Hi,
Somehow my date and time settings keeps changing to GMT/Cupertino despite setting it to Mumbai (India). Because of this all my alarms and calendar events have gone for a toss. I have changed the time to Mumbai multiple times, but it keeps switching back without event touching the phone. I even upgraded to 2.0.2 but the problem persists. Any idea what else can I do to get this working.
Thanks,
Avinash

I picked this up from another thread (I tried 2.0.1 and 2.02 upgrades too with no success). The following worked, though:
- Plug your iPhone into you Macbook / PC and allow iTunes to do a full backup (I had to right click the iphone icon and select backup).
- Right click your iPhone under DEVICES in iTunes and click on Restore. Choose the back up you have just made
- From within your iPhone, tap the Settings icon, choose General and then Date & Time. Choose Time Zone and change the time zone to your desired city.
- To test the change has worked, tap the Date & Time back arrow at the top left and then click on the home button. Finally, go back to the Time Zone option within Settings and the time zone should have stayed as the one you chose.
Note: Is your iPhone 3G’s GPS facility taking ages to pinpoint your location? The above changes will fix this problem as well

    Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

    Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

  • I can't erase all data and content from my iPhone 4s. It says iCloud account not verified, when it only asks for my Apple ID to erase all data and content.

    It's really been puzzling me, I've never logged in the Apple site on a laptop before - I have been getting the same message 'Unable to verify iCloud account' every time I try and erase all data and content from my iPhone 4s. When I go to iCloud on my laptop and sign in using my Apple ID it signs me in. These are the same log in details I am prompted for when trying to erase all data/content from the phone. If anybody could point me in the direction that would be really appreciated. Thanks

    Hi.
    Yes, I recently changed my Apple ID password - around 2 weeks ago when I bought the phone.
    Does anyone know if you need to do the IOS update to be able to restore all data and content? I have not installed the new update on either of my iPhone 4S's yet.
    The phone I am trying to reset was sold to me by a friend and when it was it had already been reset and it was on the language selection screen.

  • Can i stop the Erase all data and settings process for Iphone 3gs? It has been 4 hours and still not finished!

    Hi, i just want to know if theres any way to just stop the erase all data and settings for my iphone 3gs it has been 4 hours and it still havent finished yet, still showing the black screen with an apple icon. Im getting so frustrated, is there any way to just stop the process and roll back the changes made? Would it do any harm if i press on my home key and power button the same time? Thanks!

    Something has gone wrong, on an iPhone 3Gs the erase all operation should be instantaneous. Disconnect your phone & force it into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari?

    Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari and why does my history keep clearing?
    I want to save my bookmarks for my favorite pages but every time I close Safari the default ones (Apple, iCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, News and Popular) re appear.
    Basicaly I want Google instead of Twitter and Yahoo and I also don't want it to keep clearing my history.

    Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

    You can use the IMacsoft to help you transfer all the files(music, movie,contact, call list, SMS,etc) from the old iPhone to your new iPhone 5S, transferring just need a few seconds, I have tried it and everything works so well.

    Hello evanfromvic
    If you have a back up in iTunes, you can restore from that back up. The article below will assist with getting that backup restored.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • IPhone 5 suddenly using an excessive amount of data and my phone usage has not changed so why am i going over data 3 times this billing cycle?

    My iphone 5 has been hogging data like crazy the past two months. I have not used my phone anymore than I normally do, in fact I would say I use it less often than normal. I have gone over the family share data limit of 15GB three times this billing cycle. The first time i had 121500 MB of data used. I thought it was rhapsody that was causing all of the data usage but my sister uses rhapsody on her iphone 5c and she hasnt gone over at all! So its not that. I decided I would turn OFF all cellular usage on apps like facebook, instagram, rhapsody, twitter, even MAIL! I am basically not able to use my phone outside of my house now which is NOT okay! I took screen shots of the cellular usage and at one point after I had completely shut off celluar data on all apps, i checked my cellular usage and DNS services, Mapping services, Data and syncing all had racked up data! I hadnt used any of those services! I also turned off all location settings and maps and siri! phone is still using data like crazy!
    I saw in recent posts about this issue that Apple replaced peoples iphones because it was a bug in the phones software that was causing the data to go haywire! I have an upgrade but I dont want to use it if I dont have to! I also dont want to get another iphone 5 if this problem is happening with iphone 5's. I have not seen very many complaints about iphone 5c  so that might be the route I go.
    I also restored my iphone last night cause I saw a discussion which said to try that. So far it is still using data and im on wifi!
    Any suggestions as to what to do now?

    Contact your carrier for their advice.

  • My iPhone keeps changing the time of an appointment to GMT - even though I have set it for local time

    I am using an I-phone 4 and a Mac Pro.  I have set them both to the local time.  When I set up a meeting on my computer in Yahoo calendar, and I check it on my phone it shows the correct time, but the time zone comes up etc/GMT.  I have changed them back to the local time, but it still changes my events.  Where do I change the time zone?  I have gone to settings, but still comes up with the GMT..  Help.

    Sometimes the computer is running app(s) that mean that the computer stays awake. If you close all applications it will work, so the best thing may be to open each one on its own in turn to see which on is keeping your MacBook awake.

  • Last Played Date is wrong ...Ipod keeps changing date

    I own a 3rd gen iPod nano and the date and time keeps changing everytime I connect it to my PC ...can anyone help me figure out how to fix this please...?
    Thanks in Advance

    Well, iPod sync the Time/Date from the Computer, you should check, if GMT+x is right ... and that should fix the problem.
    Note: Your iPod should also be set to the right Time Zone ( Settings > Date & Time > Time Zone. )
    Hope this helps,

  • How to transfer/ copy data and setting from one iPhone to another

    Hi,
    I recently cracked the screen on my 3G iPhone and a have fortunately managed to convince the insurance company to pay for a new one.
    I'd like to be able to transfer all my contacts, apps aand setting to the new phone. Only problem is I have to give back the old phone to get the new one.
    Any advice much appreciated, and thanks in advance to anyone who spend time to help

    The iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported applications on your computer for contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks. To transfer iTunes content and photos from your computer to your iPhone requires syncing with iTunes. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other camera. The imported photos can be transferred back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    iTunes also creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone that includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by 3rd party apps, contact info, and photos captured by your iPhone - but not a good idea to depend on the backup only for the last 2. Sync contact info with a supported application on your computer and import photos that were captured by your iPhone before giving up your iPhone. You can restore your new iPhone from your existing iPhone's backup followed by a sync.
