Sometimes It Doesn’t Just Work

February 4th, 2008

I bought an iPod Touch a couple of weeks ago and for the most part I LOVE it. I’ll post more thoughts on it at a later point, but I’ve got two huge gripes about it that are driving me nuts.

First, there is some bug in the interface between the Touch and iTunes on the PC that messes up the time on the Touch. After syncing with my computer, the time is off by about two months! It’s really annoying because I can’t count on it and it makes the calendar almost useless. I’ve scoured the web and found that I’m not the only one with this issue. Here’s a picture of the problem:

The other problem is equally as annoying. Every time I plug the Touch into my UMPC, it brings up the “Would you like to purchase the software update for $19.99 screen.” At the bottom of the screen, there are two buttons: Remind Me Later and “No Thanks.” The problem is tht the “No Thanks” button NEVER works (bet I’ve clicked it 20 times). I get an error that says, “The iTunes Store could not process your request, please try again.” Pretty convenient that it’s available to browse and purchase music, but not get rid of an advertisement!

I’m tempted to buy the stupid update just so the message will go away! :^)
