Synching/Date Modified issue

it’s annoying as hell, and no, never got it fixed. My workaround is the fact that I back up my hard drive daily, and I think like I mentioned above, EVENTUALLY the old date stamp works. So, if I have 10 new files added that day, maybe 7 synch the first time my drives synch (usually at 4am every morning). Then, day 2, maybe 2 more files synch. Then, day 3 or beyond, that last file synchs correctly and the backup is complete. The whole HD is a disappointment because of this, the zero KB file issue I mentioned above, not to mention that I hate that stupid shortcut that shows up on my desktop every time I reboot, no matter how often I delete it. I’m not a computer genius by any means, but these three issues make this hard drive a joke, and all 3 should be easily fixable, but WD doesn’t care.
