January 1, 1970

You should scroll back a bit and read some other threads as well. I'm sure you have the time. I have told numerous customers on this forum to simply let their phone battery die and then recharge their phone (for the 1970 error) as that is the easiest and safest method. It doesn't require opening up the phone and voiding the warranty. Sure it might take a few hours, but it's better than trying to open up the phone and remove the battery, or wasting time driving to and from the Apple Store to have them do it.

I'm saying that clearly the conduct of some people who espouse themselves as volunteers on this forum are not abiding by the conduct that Apple allows. When you post here and you have a badge next to your name with a high level and lots of points, newer users are going to assume (whether correctly or incorrectly) that you are representing Apple and knowledgeable enough to assist them with their issue.

Unfortunately, I can't control your misconception or anyone elses. Everyone is required to agree to the Terms of Use when they sign up. But no one can force them to read it. As I am just a fellow user, I do not feel any obligation to conform to your view of how I should represent or comport myself. My reasons for being here are my own. I'm not inclined to discuss them with you.

Like everyone else in the world, I make mistakes. When I do, the Hosts treat me just like the treat you. I try to learn from the experience.

Depends on what you consider a "waste of time". Some people just don't want to wait until their battery runs down. Mine takes about 4 days. In this day and age of instant gratification, you should be familiar with that scenario. We tell people to go to Apple when we can do nothing further to help them. Since you so graciously provided the alternative method, there was no reason for us to repeat it.

I agree that you provided a helpful alternative. Unfortunately, you kind of buried it by then deciding to critique other posters on this thread. Sounds like you are the one with time on your hands.

You've been a member of this Community for a grand total of 4 days, and you have responded to two posts. If you don't like the tenor of the responses, then you can always find a friendlier forum to participate in.

Yeah Gail, and what I'm saying is that you have no business volunteering on this forum if you are going to be rude to people. Do you get some sort of satisfaction out of putting people down?

You have no business acting as a moderator. But you do, why is that?

True 🙂

Read the article to the end. You have to go to apple with a copy of the paid bill. And hope that they will help you...

You "accidentally" changed the clock? What? How on Earth did you do that on accident?

1.1.1970 is Unix date t=0. The iOS layer should gracefully recover, but this may be an issue with certificates stored on the device which can be invalidated and iOS is no longer graceful.

I did: You have to go to apple with a copy of the paid bill. And hope that they will help you...

I never said I wouldn't go get it fixed but people here are making it sound like they might not even fix it and all you need to do is take the battery out

No I didn't I saw that on twitter saying it would give you a retro feature.
