ok i found out the solution.it will work for everyones ipod touches.

plug in you ipod> close out itunes> change date and time on ipod to the correct time> change the state to where you live> make sure computer has right time> open itunes

thats all you have to do and it stays that way

I found the fix to my above problem…did another google search & read on the details link of http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=91569

someone said they had been fooling around with their function buttons, which was the same thing I was doing trying to toggle my FN-F5 button to get my netbook screen to go thru the TV. I had disabled my touchpad by hitting the FN-F7 button (the button has a picture of the touchpad with a hand/finger over it). yeah…it works now. maybe this post helps someone else now.

touch pad not working???—has it been deactivated by pushing the FN-F7 button (or whichever button shows the touchpad with a hand/finger)??? then re-stroke those keys & reactivate your touch pad. If that doesn’t work, maybe there are other problems.

I have a new Acer Aspire One 10″ since Oct09 that replaced the one I bought Jan09 cuz my son cracked my LCD screen wth my digital camera. anyway, about a week ago, I hooked my netbook up to the 46″ LED TV using the VGA cable. I can’t remember if I had my mini-mouse hooked up at the time or not, but I believe I was using the touchpad mouse & it was working fine when I was seeing how my netbook looked on the TV. I had let my netbook run for about 1-2 hours showing my screen saver pictures on the TV. After I removed it and then later hooked my netbook up to my 19″ LCD screen a few days later, now my touchpad will only very briefly work (a few seconds) upon startup. I had also recently installed the software for my new MS Wireless Keyboard & Mouse 3000. I checked the touchpad settings in device manager & hit restore defaults but my touchpad still doesn’t work.

basically–my touchpad quit working after having my netbook hooked up to a TV via VGA cable and/or shortly after I started using my new wireless keyboard/mouse via plug-n-play before I installed the full-functionality CD onto the netbook. the touchpad still doesn’t work after having installed the CD. I can have both my mini-mouse plugged in & my wireless mouse plugged via USB in at the same time and they both work, but not my touchpad, at all…

anyone have any ideas?

Try this get firmware 3.1.2 and go set your current time zone then go settings — General —Time and date and select set time and date. Enter your time .worked for me. The random time happened when I left my battery dead for a week .HOPE IT WORKS

hi,

i am using Acer 5738G laptop. When I am browsing and using the touchpad, the browser suddenly goes back one page. I am not sure what kind of gesture I am doing for this to happen. Any ideas on how this is happening?

No one has answered by question yet:

I have an Acer 10.1″ AOD2501185. The pointer of the touch pad starts jumping all over the screen or will only go back and forth (not up and down). using a mouse for a netbook is really getting old. I bought my niece an Acer 15.4″, and hers does the same thing.

would really appreciate some help. I can’t be the only one with this problem.
