My iPod date resets to 1969 everytime I sync! Help!

Everytime I sync w/my iMac, my iPod date resets to 1969. Then when I adjust the date, a thousand (seemingly) alarms fly up for all the events I've missed since 1969.... Help!

Have you checked to make sure the Date and Time are set correctly on your iPod Touch? Did you also make sure that the time zone was correct as well?
I'm assuming the date, time, and time zone are also set correctly on your iMac?
Have you tried restoring the iPod from a backup in iTunes to see if that helps?

After factory data reset, Google calender won't sync

Have completed TWO factory data resets on HTC Thunderbolt. Once w/deleting SD Card and once without. Still cannot get the calendar to sync past 30 days! I asked Big Red about it and they told me an "in house" HTC programmer would call me. That never happened and this was two weeks ago. . Can anyone suggest how to get my calendar back?

Hi, Tweebolt!
I'm sorry you did not receive that call back! I want to see your calendar working properly for you! When you go into Settings>Accounts & Sync>Gmail/Google> are you seeing Calendar sync greyed out or checked? If greyed out I've got some tricks I want you to give a try. What I suggest is going into Settings>Account, then creating a new Gmail account (this is nothing you have to keep, we're only going to use it for five minutes). Once created, go into the Accounts & Sync, select the new account and ensure Calendar is set to sync. Then go into your Calendar application, tap Menu>Settings>ensure your real Gmail account exists and add a new event. Next, you'll go back to Account & Sync, and you should have the option to check Calendar sync under the real Gmail account. Check it to initiate the sync. After all is said and done and the sync is complete, go under Accounts & Sync and remove that fake account you set up. I've been this jump start a Gmail account countless times, and its a lot of steps but takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Keep me posted!
Thanks,

Newbie to the iPod Touch (Follow-Up Problems on First Sync) - HELP!!

Ok. So far, I haven't been able to get the darn thing to be detected on my PC. The same PC that my Classic 160 already works fine on.
I'm getting this message:
An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again.
Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Make sure you have iTunes 7.6 or greater which is needed for new +iPod touch+ models.

IPod requires reset for every new sync

Well, that's it, really.
My late `06 iMac & early `06 60gb / with video iPod are both up-to-date on software, yet everytime I hook it up for an update/sync the "do not disconnect" symbol sits there . . unflashing . & nothing ever happens.
Once I do a reset, it's fine & everything proceeds normally, but this shouldn't be required.
Even another sync 12 hours later, & it's the same sequence.
any ideas or similar scenarios out there ?
-=TIA=-
~~~=Dave

well,
It doesn't seem required if everything works fine after the reset.
I was hoping more for someone else w/ the same deal...you know, I'd prefer to know "what's goin' on", rather then just pave over it w/ a restore.
Why come I didn't get an email w/ your reply ?. . even the little binoculars are broke ?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with
enable me to update and use the iPod.

You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

Dock + Remote apple in the ipod 3g reset while viewing videos

Hello.
I have the following problem is my ipod nano 3g 1.1.3 connected to the dock of apple and driving with the remote apple.
The problem is that the iPod is reset when you press forward or play / pause while playing videos, I have tested with the podcast "Apple Special Event, October 2008", the reset is random.
Any idea? in support of apple I have sent this url, but I have not managed to solve the problem http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1517?viewlocale=es_E
the iPod is connected to the apple tv composite video
Os the functional dock + apple + remote video components with the iPod nano 3g, when playing videos? are you reset the ipod?
Thank you very much.

This rather depends on whether it broke because it was faulty - in which case it would be covered - or it broke because it was damaged - in which case it most likely wouldn't be.
In any event the best thing would be to deal with Apple directly. Please see this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/#repair2
and please particularly note the caveats in section 3 about not retaining the data and the possibilty of a replacement having a later OS.
Also please note http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/#warranty5

How do I get back into my ipod without resetting it? Its disabled and says I have to connect to itunes

How do I get back into my ipod witout reseting it? It says I have to connect to itunes becuase its disabled.

Restore. Note that it could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Time/date resetting after shutting down.

I have a 12" 867MHz PowerBook G4 that seems to give me the Time/Date reset error message. The display gives me a December 31st, 1969 date and after a few minutes, it reverts back to the proper time. Any ideas?

Normally, this would be an issue with the internal PRAM backup battery, but 12-inch PowerBooks don't have one.
Have you tried to reset your PMU? This article describes how to do it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449.
If that doesn't help, others in this forum have linked your issue to a dying battery. Have you noticed any decline in your battery life?

Ipod touch resets back to storebought condition

My iPod has reset itself back to the condition it was first purchased in twice now. The first time I had to re-add EVERYTHING, the second time my friend plugged it into his computer and everything I had lost was suddenly back on.
Why does this keep happening, and what exactly do I have to do to keep the data from being permanently erased? I have important notes and pictures on there, and I already lost a lot of them once...

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

How much free storage space is available on your iPod Touch?
When restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes, did you restore from the backup for the iPod Touch or as a new iPod Touch?
If the former and the problem lies with the data included with the backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.
