iPod doesn't have India in it's Date/Time settings page

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

This is not exactly news but it really does need to be told .

My iPod doesn't have India in it's Date/Time settings page , yes Apple officiallyy sells iPods in India but still iPod software doesn't have india anywhere in it's Date/Time(Timezone) selection page :mad:

heck , my iPod features karachi in the Date/Time settings page but no city from India :shock::shock:

[iMav]

ya neither does mine ... i too have karachi only ... jobs hates india no wonder arya hasnt got a call from him to become a mac representative

[Sourabh]

Are there any firmware upgrades?

[iMav]

fully updated .... thru itunes but no change ....

[aryayush]

Strange. Macs have settings for IST, the Indian currency and Indian languages. And yet the iPod doesn't. o.O

[iMav]

its the apple way .. i figure apple doesnt knwo tht they provide support for apple products in india not only tht they even sell apple products in india ...

though never bothered abt it coz it syncs my time with my pc ... ;) but still jobs is showing anti-indian stance by this stupid flaw ...

[praka123]

weird it seems :? Pakistan is there,but not India time >?

[goobimama]

For what its worth, Jobs doesn't hate India. He loves India, and its history/philosophy. (Didn't he like come to India in his trip days?)

[aryayush]

Yeah, he did. And I think something happened on that trip that has turned him against India. (I know he had a terrible time here. He and his partner were caught in a hailstorm and almost died in it.)

Seriously, Apple almost ignores the Indian market. :(

You have a Mumbai specific clock but that too some 30 mins ahead and you cant change the time.(If you can please tell me how):(

[aryayush]

How come Zeeshan Quireshi didn't see that clock?

[techno_funky]

How come Zeeshan Quireshi didn't see that clock?

Extras>>>>Clock>>>>>Scroll to an empty clock>>>>>center button>>>>Asia>>>scroll down to Mumbai ,New Delhi ,Chennai ,Kolkata.
This is what i get in my 5.5g iPod Video ,I dont really know about the nano's.

[aryayush]

If the video iPod has it, I am sure the Nano has it too.

[iMav]

techno not talking about tht there mumbai is thr but not in time zones ... clock mein mumbai hain ...

[freshseasons]

Just a bit way of topic and since ipods are discussed i am stuck at one problem.
I somehow have set my ipod to Chinese language. This has left my ipod totally redundant.
Can someone help me with this?

[iMav]

try doing this ... lock the pod press the centre button for a couple of seconds ... then unlock it then hold the menu button and press the centre button for 5-6 seonds the ipod should reboot with the apple logo shown ... open apple guide thts in the chinese language try t make sense of it and fnd if u can see english ne whr thts wat i did wen my friend changed the language of my cell fone

[aryayush]

Isn't there some option in iTunes to configure your iPod? I'm sorry I've never used an iPod so I have no idea about it. :p

[ax3]

mine video iPod has it ............. visit their center 2 solve ur problem ......

[iMav]

ax3 talking about time zone .. are u sure ur time zone has india ....

[freshseasons]

@iMav Thanks for the suggestion. i guess its reseting the ipod which i dont want to do. As i again will have to configure it.Anyways found a word around from the net where the complete scrolling thing was given on how to configure it to back to english language.
Nevertheless thanks for a good Suggestion.
@aryayush .
Thanks ! Yes there is an option to reset the ipod or even update the firmware from the itunes.
Thanks all and have a great day!

Well you have Mumbai in the Additional Clocks(i.e in the Extras Section) but you don't have it in the System Date/Time Settings .

i'm talkin bout Date/Time Settings in Settings>>Date & Time>>Set Date & Time

[Sourabh]

Did someone email Apple about this?

[gx_saurav]

Didn't you read that Jobs doesn't care about India, besides I don't think he is gonna admit that iPod has a flaw.

[techno_funky]

Well you have Mumbai in the Additional Clocks(i.e in the Extras Section) but you don't have it in the System Date/Time Settings .

i'm talkin bout Date/Time Settings in Settings>>Date & Time>>Set Date & Time

Yeps i know about that ,even I was astonished not seeing IST but did'nt bother much since I got the pod to hear music :p .

[gaurav21r]

Menu -> Settings -> Date & Time -> Set Time zones

This is for time zones....nd its quite surprising that none of the Indian cities feature here and even stranger that Karachi is here.

I agree, Apple is sorta showing Anti-India feelings. After all I-Pods in India are the 2nd most expensive in the world; only after Brazil.

YOU can of course still set the correct time and synchronise it with ur PC, but thats not the point.

I do hope an Indian city will feature with the next firmware update.
