The date and time will not set why?

It keeps saying selecting date and time but never does. I tried signing in with my apple ID and it says to set date and time first and the only thing it lets me select is state.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • The date and time is not working after setting it to current date and goes back to may,26 2011

    the date and time is not working after setting it to current date and goes back to may,26 2011; 2 PM . I bought my ipod tocuh 4th gen on july 18th

    On the iPod, make sure your Calendar is set to Gregorian (Settings > General > International > Calendar).  Also make sure your date and time on your computer is correct as well as the Time Zones on both.

    Howdy eewebe13,
    So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
    Please step through this article for that scenario.

  • "RT Set date and time" does not set seconds in UTC mode

    Hallo,
    I tried to set the time on my cRio 9012 with the function settimeUTC which is used by the "Set Date and Time" vi. But the seconds I enter are ADDED to the current time and not set as new value.
    Even the vi shows this behaviour: I set up a vi in which the time is set in a loop (100ms delay) and read again. When I set local time the clock stops (as expected) but when I set the UTC time the seconds keep on running...
    Can anybody help me with that problem???
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Andreas,
    well it does not matter if I set a time zone in the MAX or not. In my example I was working on UTC + 0 but even when I set it to my local time (UTC + 1) I get the same behaviour modified by one hour.
    My LabView Version is 8.5. In in the MAX under Software-> LabView-RealTime it says that I am using 8.5.0.
    I suspect  that the settime.out which is installed on the cRio is probably the root of the problem as VxWorks itself does not offer a function (at least I did not find one) to convert from broken down system time to system time in seconds. There only exist one to convert from broken down local time to system time in seconds ( mktime() ). The reverse function is available for both cases: gmtime() and localtime(). I also did not find a way to find out the offset of the local time. So I have to use the library function settimeUTC() from settime.out.
    As I offered I can send you the settime.out file from my cRio for reference or maybe you can tell me how to find out what the version of the file is. It seems not to be an ELF file as I looked inside it to find some timestamp or version info...
    Thanks so far

  • Date and Time Will not change the Month

    In my System Preferences I can not highlight or change the month from "1" in any manner. This is consistent throughout the system for iTunes (last played), iCal, Finder, etc. a file saved today would be saved as 2008.1.18 as consistent with my layout preferences, but not the actual date. However, in the expanded view, it still will read as May 18th, 2008. Any ideas? Currently I'm in Israel and there aren't any Genius Bars around here, but if not, I'll try in August, in NY

    I can't say if Lion has the ability to fix itself, however, I've been useing it since the day it was released and a few bugs it had at first went away after a few days on their own.  As far as setting the Date & Time on AppleTV and the other WiFi issues I was having after updating to 10.7.1 (which I felt were huge, persistent, and unacceptable), everything is functioning properly now.  The only change I made was this: I made sure that I had a connected WiFi connection using the Airport Utility and Network Preferences via System Preferences and then I locked the Network Preferences to prevent further changes.  I can't say for sure if that was all that was needed, but AppleTV, WiFi, and Home Sharing are once again operating correctly and usable.

  • The setting date and time is not working

    Bought an apple TV, installed it as per instruction, connected to my internet but the seting date  and time is not occuring and the activation cannot occur either.  Spent 1 hr on the phone with Apple support staff - they told me it may be a router blockage and to contact my internet provider.  contacted internet provider , they tell me everything is working from their end so must be the apple TV device.  I was told this was easy techonology and that I would not have issues - I have spent 3 hrs on this and truly frustrated as its not working .  any suggestions would help!

    That would be a network issue as you were initially advised. When the date and time can not be set it means it is having trouble connecting to the network.
    Make sure router is up to date, reboot router and ATV. Make sure location is set correctly via ATV and also DNS (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)
    Make sure your router allows access over port 123.
    Failing that try a restore on the unit

  • Changing the Date and Time of photos

    Hello,
    i have been importing images from my windows machine and want all the dates to be correct, i have seen the adjust date and time, and made the changes but under the events the dates dont change and when i click individual photos the dates and times are not changing.
    so i was wondering how do i change the time for each photo and event? can i change the time to a start and finish date rather than just one date?
    Any help with the above would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have just looked at this again, i dont see an option to set both a start and end date, any ideas?
    That is not an an option - and it makes no sense
    You can do one of three things:
    1 - add a constant delta to all selected photos thereby correcting an incorrect setting on a camera and preserving the sequence and integrity of the photos dates ad times
    2 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a specific value
    3 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a base value plus an increment for each successive photo.
    There are two choices under the photos menu
    1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
    2 - batch change date and time - this simply changes the date & time to your selected value with an option to add an increment to each
    Both have an option to modify the original photo which I do (I'm not sure why you would not want to modify the original)
    And when i go into photos, the ones that i have altered by +Photos >>> Adjust Date and Time+ still have different times and dates, any ideas?
    AS described in the iPhoto help and above
    1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
    So after adjusting time and date all photos selected will have the time and date changed by the same amount (a constant delta) and if they were all different before they will still all be different - if they were all the same before adjustment they will still all be the same but at a different value

  • Entourage Calendar Events: Dates and times are not being saved accurately

    After an event has been created and saved, the date and time will change pushing the event forward, but not consistently. Some events jump forward a few hours others an entire day or more. I've been using this program for many years without fault but this problem started several days ago after a recent automated software update. It is not only happening with newly created events, it has also altered events saved weeks ago! (note: time zone is set accurately in the System Preferences and Entourage)

    I would check Microsoft's Entourage 2004 forum to see if others have experienced the same issue. Entourage 2004 has been replaced with Entourage 2008 awhile back. It may be those issues are fixed with 2008 and will never be in 2004, or you may need a later patch for 2004. If the automated software update was Microsoft's I'd contact Microsoft, if it was Apple's, this may just be a sign you need to upgrade your Microsoft to keep up with Apple. Whenever you do a system level software update you always need to verify compatibility bugs don't exist with the newer system when you are talking about other third party software. There are way too many third party software titles out there new and old for Apple to test with its own system given the time frame people desire updates.

  • I need a button to display the date and time

    I want the date and time to display in a textfield. I am thinking the best way to go about this is to have a hidden button in the field, so that when the user clicks in the field the date and time will automatically appear. I need help with some code (not really sure of how the code should look). Should the code go in the click or initialize event?
    Thanks for your help

    I figured it out.
    Thanks!

  • Date and time inidacator not showing up

    I have recorded on mini DV tape with the date and time indicator on, but when I try to log and capture it into FCP for editing, the date and time is not there. I'm sure it's on the tape as I have played it back on several several different tvs and monitors, but for some reason I can't get FCP to read it.
    Please advise if you can.

    Playing back the tape in the camcorder that originally recorded the tape with the display output activated, doesn't mean that you actually recorded the date & time as part of the video. Check the user's manual of your camcorder to find out how to record date & time as part of the image - not just to a data track. FCP doesn't access the data code info.

  • My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

    Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

    Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
    If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
    Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
    Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
    At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
    sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
    ... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
    Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
    mm = month
    dd = date
    hh = hour (24 hour format)
    nn = minutes past the hour
    yyyy = year
    Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
    sudo date 020821002014
    or
    sudo date 0208210014
    Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
    To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
    Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
    To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

  • HT3180 The date and time on my Apple TV is not setting, anyone that can help me? Please!

    I can't get the date and time to set up on the Apple TV, how can I fix this problem? I tried restarting and that's not helping.

    Hi Jhoana82,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest you unplug the Apple TV for thirty seconds to restart it, then restore it to the factory settings.
    Click on the links below for more details and screenshots ...
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV
    You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
    On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
    Your Apple TV will restore to its factory settings, and will also download and install the latest Apple TV software update. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
    I hope you are back up and running with your Apple TV soon!

    Meredith199,
    does your MacBook Pro have an Eject key (⏏) in the top-right corner of the keyboard? If so, does pressing Control-⏏ show a restart/sleep/shutdown dialog box?
    If you press Shift-⌘Q, does your MacBook Pro recognize that as an attempt to log out?
