Date and time glitch

The time display in the menu bar is frozen.  When I try to access it, I get the spinning wheel of death.  The only way to bring it up to date is to restart the computer.  The next day it's frozen again, right now at 12:40 am.
I'm using Mountain Lion.

I have a similar issue on a 2011 iMac (w/ 16Gb RAM). Menu bar clock doesn't refresh, so appears to have stopped. However, clicking the clock causes it to refresh and update its display to the current time.
This is true both with the standard menubar clock, and with the iStatmenus menubar clock.
And it's happening in both user accounts.
I've tried replacing the systemuiserver plist (on both accounts) by removing it, restarting, and having the system create a new one. I've done that multiple times. That fixes things for a while… a few hours or a day… but it always goes back to this freezing / non-refresh behavior.
Just tried macjack's suggestion of also deleting the systemuiserver plists from the By Host folder. Restarted… we'll see if that fix holds. Will report back.

  • Why do I get iMessage failed update date and time in settings

    My iphone5 keeps changing it time zone on it's own and I keep getting a notification in messages saying iMessage failed update your date and time in settings.  I have update it several times and it's keep doing it.  Now it's just frustrating.  How can I take care of this problem for good. 

    I have also been getting the message ever since I got my iPhone 5 on September 12.  I have to reboot the phone to fix the problem or turn the "Set Automatically" off and then back on. This is a glitch likely with Apple's iOS software, but my Verizon store said that have received numerous complaints on this issue, but no patch has been released for it as of yet.

    I'm seeing a number of posts about network printing problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I'm guessing the problem is something other than the drivers themselves.
    I sure appreciate your willingness to help me out with this!
    Yes, just delete the folders.
    There could be other problems, not driver-related, but updating to the most recent drivers will at least eliminate that possibility.
    Happy to try to help.

  • Time Zone...When changing date and time.

    After having updated to version 10.6.1, I am still experiencing the same top sites glitch as everyone else. However, is anyone else's time zone graphics funky (missing squares?) and really unresponsive when moving across the earth from side to side?

    For me - I am pretty anal about keeping my camera's time accurate, and I always adjust time on import to the correct time zone if I am shooting in a different area (I live in AZ time, and when I shoot on the east coast i set the time zone to eastern on import). So I doubt I would ever use that feature.
    If you ever do need this feature, be aware that the date and time displayed in the Adjust Date and Time dialogue box are the date and time in the time zone your computer is set to, not the time zone the picture was taken in.
    So if you have a picture taken on the east coast and you open the adjust date/time dialogue, you will see the time for the picture in AZ time (a few hours earlier than the time displayed in the Image Date field). To set the time for the picture, you have to figure out what time it was in AZ when the picture was taken, and enter that time.
    After playing around with this I've filed it as a bug with Apple. Even if they aren't going to let you change the time zone (functionality I think is needed), they should at least consistently use the same time zone with a picture, rather than forcing you to do time zone conversions by hand.

  • Changing Date and Time

    I have selected both photos and event separately in several attempts to change date and time in Photos/Adjust Date and Time without success. Each time I have attempted to do so another date and time has replaced the previous one but each has been incorrect. Some dates have been inserted dating back several centuries!! The time as well as the date has been incorrect.
    I would appreciate suggestions and help in making the change correct.
    Thanks.

    I also have this problem. One folder in particular is affected; within it after a few times to get it into the 2000's from 1900's, it is currently showing 1539.
    I am at a loss since the batch change roller lets me select the correct year in iphoto.
    I thought it might be a glitch in the older software so upgraded to the '11 iphoto. This made no difference at all.
    This is still an issue unless the original poster got an answer or worked it out him/her self.
    I also use Picasa on the same system but since it gets the photos from iphoto, it gets its errors there too.

  • E66 Loses date and time.

    I set an alarm for work days. I switched the phone off with the alarm set.
    The alarm did not ring, but the display light flashed a couple of times at the approriate alarm time and then nothing .. No alarm.
    I swithced the phone on, it immediately asks for the date and time !!
    After entering the date and time the alarm then rang !!
    This is not an issue of the wrong or silent profile being set on the phone, the phone just lost its marbles and didn't know what the date or time was anymore.
    I don't find any microcode update yet, I'm on version 102.07.81 (date = 12/07/2008)
    For a business phone at this price I find this problem rather astonishing, I see in other threads I'm not the only one to suffer this issue ...

    I have the same problem with my E66 (as I also had with three different E51s) that the date got a hick-up during the weekend. When I turned it off on Friday evening it would say Friday, but when I turned it on on Saturday morning it would still say Friday. Apparently as software glitch for several models here. Hope Nokia fixes this soon.

  • IMovie 9.0.8 "date and time" Title is 5 hours off original footage.

    Since iMovie doesn't import the original Date and Time that the footage was recorded, I have been using the "date and time" Title feature, which in prior versions has worked well. Since updating to ML and iMovie 9.0.8, the time is off by approximately 5 hours. I can usually correct this by adjusting the date and time in the frame but it's an extra step I'd rather avoid. Has anyone else experienced this glitch? Is there a fix?

  • Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

    Hi there,
    is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
    For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
    Thanks and regards,
    Henrique.

    Hi there, Moorthy
    We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
    In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
    Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
    Thanks a lot,
    Henrique.

  • Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

    Hi
    I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
    Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
    Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
    So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
    Thanks

    ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
    without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
    However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

  • DVD camcorder (VIDEO_TS) - preserve clip date and time

    I had asked this question on the forums a long time ago but iMovie did not seem to be supporting it reliably at the time. But since some time has passed, I wanted to check if iMovie '09 can import clips from a mini DVD (those used in camcorders to capture video directly on to DVD media) AND preserve the clip's date and time.
    What I see is that the first clip gets some date and time related to the event's date and time (perhaps the start time of the first clip?) but all the other clips which are imported, get timestamps of 1 second after that first clip's timestamp.
    These are all my home videos and in order to keep each clip short, I have had the habit of pausing after about a minute or two, resulting in MANY clips over MANY DVD's, so manually updating date and time is absolutely the last resort.
    The DVD player can see the clip date and time correctly, and so could the camcorder (I have since sold the darn thing!) so I know that information exists somewhere in the DVD, but it seems like iMovie is unable to "see" it.
    Any help would be appreciated, including programmability hints.

    Thank you for your post.  I figured out why iMovie was assigning today's date to everything that I imported.  It turns out that many of my video files did not have a real "created" date--some had no date at all and some had Wednesday, December, 1967 or 9 (I think).  iMovie defaulted today's date in both of these situations.  I took your advice and ot A Better Finder Attribute and easily converted all of the files using the option to copy the "modified date" into the "created date" attribute.  Now everything imports correctly into iMovie.

  • How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

    How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

    Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
    By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
    I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

  • Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

    i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
    Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
    One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
    please help!!!!
