My nano's clock is wrong -_-

I love the world clock idea so I enabled all the countrys clocks I was interested in then I came to my own 'Melbourne' Australia but its 3hours off, and it isnt daylight savings, because that would only alter it by an hour. This also leads me to belive that the other clocks on my nano may be off to. I cant find a way how to manual set the clocks.

Someone plz help?

My nanos clock got stuck with the wrong time in the display, but was the correct time in the date and time setting. I turned the time display on and off but still was wrong. I then turned it off and let it play for a half hour, then turned it back on and it was the correct time. Weird. If it happens again I'll try a reset and see what happens. Maybe a new firmware update is needed.

I have the same problem with my nano.

If I set the clock to the current London daylight savings time and then configure the world clocks for both London, UK (with daylight savings time set to 'yes') and Wellington, New Zealand (with daylight savings time set to 'no') both clocks display the time an hour ahead of what they should be, but the time displayed on the nano's title bar is correct.

If I change the time to an hour earlier (i.e. non-daylight savings time) the world clocks display correctly but the time in the title bar is an hour slow.

Quite an obvious bug, I'm suprised this got through Apple's QA

I have your same problem.

What I think I have discovered is that the problem occurs when the iPod Nano has not been used long enough for the Apple logo screen to appear when you first turn it back on.
Then, while internally the clock is working, and the initial time in the display will be correct, the time in the display remains fixed at the time it was when I first turned it on.

The only way I have found to quickly resolve it is to do a manual reset by holding down Menu + Select for a few seconds. Once the Nano reboots, the time is correct AND it will reflect the correct time in the display minute by minute.

The problem will not occur until once again I haven't used the Nano long enough to prompt the Apple logo screen when being turned on. A definite firmware fix is needed for this one, I would assume.

Hey, I'll just add my voice to the matter: there's something amiss with the nano's ability to tell time. At first, the international clocks were wrong, but after I followed another users' suggestion to reset the nano, it worked okay.

But, related to this is the fact that my nano sets off my alarms from iCal at 8 hours off from the time. For example, if I have an alarm set for 1pm, it will set it off at 9pm (still stating that it's 1pm).

Very unusual behavious, but it appears the nano may have a glitch keeping time zones straight, as you all mention.

I thought it would automatically update to the computer clock as it does with iTunes. I was really surprised to see it off.

It's easy to set. I live in Orlando, but for some reason, Orlando isn't listed. So, I chose Miami and it corrected, I think. I don't use the clock, but it seems it should synch with the computer since everything going into the nano is computer based (iTunes).
