There is something incorrect with my time stamps.  All new folders and documents will have a timestamp of 12/31/1969 or 01/01/1970.  How would I be able to fix this?  I already confirmed the date on my laptop is accurate.

Thanks,

Dave

HI Dave,

If you haven't already, please contact Support. Sign In to my.pogoplug.com and 'Submit a support ticket' using 'Help Center'. This displays hardware diagnostics that helps Support figure this out.

Kind Regards,

Hi Dave,

I had the same issue occur and then I decided to do some under the cover work. The fix that worked for me requires some command line interface work on the Pogoplug and should be done with extreme caution. Within your http://my.pogoplug.com site you will see a section to enable SSH access to the Pogoplug. Enable this setting and set a good password that you will remember. Assuming that you already have a SSH client on your system you can simply SSH to your Pogoplug using the following commands:

ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx (replace the x with the IP address of your Pogoplug)
root@xxx.xxx.xxx's password: (enter in the good password you created)

You should now be sitting at the command prompt. You will need to adjust your time using a conversion from UTC to your local time zone else your resulting date and time will be off. Once you determine the modifier using a 24 hour clock set the date with the following command:

date MMDDhhmmYYYY.ss

* date 010303042012.30 will set the date and time to Tue Jan 3 03:04:30 UTC 2012

I hope this helps

Same here!

All new items (files and folders) get a timestamp of 01/01/1970. Support is still busy trying to resolve this one for me.

It seems that the pogoplug unfortunately does not have a hardware clock and will consistently think it is 1st of January 1970 after every reboot. Question is why has this worked before? Perhaps CE set the clock remotely when the device connected to the service. I have never set the clock manually before after a power cycle so there must have been something handling this.

Will see.

I had the same issue last week. It was because the device is not synchronizing with NTP server. Support was contacted but no use. I fixed it by install ntp from Optware.

Thanks for the info livis. Do you have a link or instructions on how to do that?

If you don't have Optware installed yet, you may start from the installation page. The instruction may not work as it is. If you see error messages, google it.
