Ipod Nano date format

I have an Ipod nano and have started to download podcasts. These are dated, but for some reason my Nano will only use a rather odd date format, where the month comes first, and then the date. I have searched for the option to turn this off, and return to dd/mm/yyyy, but cannot find it. Can anyone help?

Hi Richard,
See this post:
iPod 1.2: About the Clock
...in particular this part:
"Depending on the language iPod is set to use, the date and time format will change accordingly."
The default for English may be the American standard of month/day/year, rather than the European standard you were expecting.
Here is a post from someone with the same gripe:

Good luck,

  • Ipod Classic Date Format

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to change the date format on an Ipod Classic from Amercian (mm/dd/yyyy) to British (dd/mm/yyyy)?
    Many thanks.

    Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I don't think you can change the format, not that I've really looked until now. I certainly can't find an option on the iPod for it. Then again as far as I can see the only place it actually appears in that form is on the Set Date page, everywhere else I see Nov 18 2009 or November 18, 2009 so it shouldn't be too confusing.

  • IPod Nano data recovery

    Hi. I own an iPod Nano, and yesterday, I accidentally dropped it into a sink. It flashed a message about firewire connections and prompty shut off. Now, I tried to turn it on, about 5 times, and plugged it in once, so it's probably gone. But here's my real problem. I just reformatted my computer, and the nano was backup to about 3 years worth of stuff. So what I'm wondering it, is there any way to get data recovery for it? Will Apple do that? I can't use software cause the nano is completely unresponsive. Any ideas? I don't mind if I don't get my nano back.

    Well, I shook all the water out of it, and I let it sit for a day or two. Then one morning I connected it in a dock (That helped for some reason, as it was vertical), My computer flashed that there was a USB device connected, and I got all my files back. Now the idea is get a really firm connection. Bumping the nano would cause it to disconnect and stop the recovery. But the nano was fried anyway. Screen failed, only backlight works, to start I need to reset. My advice? Make sure you let it dry out. However, since I had taken my pc for repair, the songs were on the drive directly, so it was just a cut and paste situation. But, there are programs that can extract the data. you can also enable show hidden files in Windows XP to see your songs, although their Tags are messed up.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPod Nano date & time

    iPod Nano updated to 1.3 does not have any place for Indian date & time settings. is there any specific update for this or Apple has forgotten India.

    as a workaround, perhaps try setting your main clock to one of the Indian cities, as per the following document:
    iPod: Setting up multiple clocks
    (there are settings for Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and New Delhi ... are any of them in your specific time zone?)

  • Ipod nano completely formatted, missing .ipod_control folder

    My son was trying to help his sister clear out her 3rd generation ipod nano.
    He completely formatted the contents of the ipod.
    I can't restore or install firmware or OS as iTunes simply doesn't recognize it.
    The .ipod_control folder is gone, the only contents of it is a file called pmp_usb.ini
    Anyone know how to reload the OS on it if iTunes doesn't recognize it?

    Fixed it!
    Formatted on Mac (previous format was on PC) to HFS format.  Used disk utilitiy.
    Plugged it in, and iTunes popped up "Welcome to your new iPod"

  • Ipod nano not formatting

    Just got my nano today and when i go through the ipod setup, it tells me that my ipod needs to be formatted, goes through 45 minutes of "Waiting for ipod" and then tells me there was an error in communicating, try again. I'm ready to throw this thing through the window, I've done this about 6 times. Finally, I went through the setup without adding the ipod. Is the format necessary? It's still charging at this point, so I haven't looked at my iTunes yet to see if it's recognized. Any help would be appreciated.

    strange, as Nono should be peformatted in FAT32. Can you try to uninstall the iTune and iPod updater, reinstall them again, do not open iTune yet until you plug your Nono to your PC. Open the iPod updater and do the Restore.

  • How can I change the date format to International (Europe, Asia, etc)?

    I am currently in Japan and would like to change my iPod's date format to an International format instead of the default American format. I have tried changing my mac's regional setting to Japan, UK, France and my iPod still displays the American date format. The interesting thing is that my mac correctly displays the date format in day-month-year format.
    I would be most grateful for any suggestions offered as I would like to get my iPod to correctly display the date. I had to manually set the iPod to the 24 hour clock. I am reasonably comfortable using the command line in a terminal.

  • Ipod Nano locked on iTunes

    What happened is that it randomly locked my iPod Nano, I formatted it and now I can't put anything on it anymore, look at the picture please and tell me how I can fix my problem.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    That happens when your iPod is set to automatically update all songs and playlists or selected playlists.
    When iPods are set to manually manage songs and playlists, that lock goes away and you can drag the songs you want onto your iPod.
    To do that, connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab, and then the Music tab under that. Click the bubble next to manually manage songs and playlists and click OK.

  • Connecting iPod Nano

    Have checked the posts but cant seem to find an answer.Apologies if i have missed.Does anyone recognise this problem...PC Windows XP, no problems(surprisingly!),insert CD, insert USB, connect to iPod nano, iPod nano needs formatting, cannot complete formatting, iTunes and software wont load. rebooted etc but has made no difference. Please help as have had for 3 days and not been able to use!!

    You could just install iTunes from the website, and plug up your iPOD, then maybe it wont matter, or iTunes will format it.

  • How to use Windows formatted iPod nano to move music to a new Mac?

    Hi all,
    I need to transfer my iPhone's musics, songs, apps and photo, etc to the Mac and I came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329" guide at Apple Support site since I owned a iPod nano.
    My questions is since my iPod nano is configured for Windows will the Mac be able to read it since it's stated clearly in the guide "While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle."
    If I follow through the guide, 1. Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use, 2. Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder, 3. Copy iTunes folder to iPod. I will still need to restore the iPod to work in Mac and end up nothing left inside meaning songs, photo all erased.
    Also, anyone using third party software like http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ Can advise if it's good to use this? And if iPod nano configured for Windows can works with this?
    Need other more solution other this to transfer the mentioned data to Mac.
    Thanks.

    iPhone… iPod… iPod Nano… which one it is? You are trying to transfer music from what source, using what medium, and to what target?
    I came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329"
    it's stated clearly in the guide "While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle."
    Where exactly is this stated? I am unable to find this statement in the KB article you mentioned. And are you talking iPhone or iPod? This KB article applies only to iPod.

  • As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • Formatted my new iPod Nano 4Gb and my application can't find the Device ID

    Hi,
    Just bought a new Nano 4Gb, updated it to 2006-06-28 (1.2) and of course it couldn't be recognized by Windows after that. Followed the instruction and formatted the Nano and made a Restore, worked fine!
    Now to my problem, when using my application Anapod Explorer (from www.redchairsoftware.com) it can connect to the Nano but it says the iPod don't have any Device ID so it can't authenticate to the iPod...
    Anyone more who is using this superb software?
    It seems like if some information is missing in the iPod after the formatting of it...
    Please advice!
    Best Regards

    Additional Information:
    Since some information seems to be missing on my iPod Nano 4Gb I compared the files with my iPod Video 60Gb.
    Comparing the directories: [driveletter]:\iPod_Control\Device
    on my iPod Nano 4Gb and my iPod Video 60Gb
    iPod Nano 4Gb:
    The file SysInfo is empty, containing no data when opened in Notepad.
    iPod Video 60Gb:
    The file SysInfo is of 1KB and another file named "_unlocked" is present.
    The information in the SysInfo file is:
    BoardHwName: iPod M25
    pszSerialNumber: JQ6040HFTXL
    ModelNumStr: MA147
    FirewireGuid: 0x000A270014E1CDBA

    I have done the diagnstic test on the Nano and there are no errors and the iPod Nano is functional but I can only use iTunes to load it with music, I can't use the wonderful Anapod Explorer.
    Another thing:
    When connecting my iPod Video to my computer it shows up with a drive looking like an MP3 player, when connecting my iPod Nano it shows up looking like an ordinary disc drive.

  • IPod nano gen 4 Mac formatted: if I do a PC format, will it wipe out existing songs, audiobooks etc.?

    My PC wants me to format the nano. Will this cause all the existing data to be wiped out and the Mac reformatted to work on that computer again?

    Niel, does this mean a PC (Windows 7) formatted ipod nano can be synched on a Mac (with songs, etc.) and comingled with data previously synched from the PC? What I would like to do is download into the ipod nano stuff from both the PC and the Mac with the PC being the primary computer connected to the nano.

    Hi niedec,
    For starters, download the latest iTunes and iPod Updater from Apple. Chances are that they are more up-to-date than the software you got on CD:
