TS4268 I changed set date and time automatically to "no" and I was able to activate iMessage. This seems contrary to all the troubleshooting discussions I've been reading.

Is there any definitive info on this subject?

When ATV is setting date and time, and hangs there, it usually indicate there isn't a network connection. Is your router still working, is the Internet for all the other computers on the same network working? Have you tried changing from WiFi connection to Ethernet or vice versa?

How do I change the "Set Date and Time Automatically" server

Is there a way to change System Preferences/Date & Time/Date & Time/Set date and time automatically from "Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)" to another time server instead?

The menu has a drop down. But if you know the address of another time server I would think you can type it in.
Yeah, that's not really a menu, but a "combo box", which is a combination of an edit field and pop-up menu. So you can choose from existing items or just type in whatever time server you want.

Is there a way to force time can only be set to "Set date and time automatically"?

I am using OS X 10.9 .5 , and here is what I want to do.
When you click "Open Date & Time Preference", you will find an option that states "Set date and time automatically". And of course you can chose not to do that, and adjust the time.
But can you remove that option? So your OS X is forced to chose the mode "Set date and time automatically" no matter what you do? (aka you can't adjust the time by yourself now.)
Is that possible? Is there an app that can achieve this goal or can you do that at Terminal?
Thanks in advance.

There's a similar setting in iPhoto preferences (in iLife '08 versions and later), or in Image Capture preferences (if you're using iLife '06 or earlier). Check those settings as well.

Can't set date and time automatically thru Airport Extreme

We have an Airport Extreme that serves as the router for our home network. No computer using the Airport (wirelessly or via ethernet) can set it's date and time automatically. If I bypass the Airport and hook a computer directly to the ISP's modem via ethernet, date and time works fine. The Airport is up to date (v7.4.2) This has been a problem for quite a while now and it doesn't matter what OS is used (current is 10.6). I don't have any firewalls set up that I know of.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

+No computer using the Airport (wirelessly or via ethernet) can set it's date and time automatically.+
It's done with AirPort Utility, not your computer.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Then click the Base Station tab below the icons
There is a check box +Set Time Automatically+ and choose a region and Time Zone

Set Date and Time Automatically...doesn't

We've noticed that the setting to automatically synchronize date and time to Apple's time server doesn't work if the system preference is 'locked'
In other words, if the user that's logged in currently, isn't an admin user, then the machine doesn't set the date and time automatically.
As soon as you unlock the system preference by clicking the padlock at the bottom, the date and time sync as they should.
Anyone else noticed this?

We do want the clock correct. The issue here is that the internal clocks drift - as I understand it, this is the one of the main reasons behind using a network time server.
With the Date and time preferences set to 'Set date and time automatically', the but with the lock at the bottom corner locked- it's as though being locked is preventing the automatic date and time settings from updating.
But the preference is checked on, and so the clock should be 'resetting' itself as necessary.
To give an example- say the machine has been off for a while, and unplugged. This will cause the machine not to know what the Date and Time is. When the machine starts up, the preference should kick in, and the machine should 'Update date and time' automatically.
But it doesn't. So long as that padlock is locked, even though the preference is checked on, the machine will not alter the date and time - until the padlock is unlocked.

HT2822 Setting up date and time is taking forever and failed to do it automatically or manually.

Hello:
When I tried to configure my new Apple TV for some reason it kept trying to set the date and time automatically but wasn't able to. I tried to do it manually but couldn't do it either. When I tried to skip this part and log into my iTunes account it said I had to set the date and time first. So it seems like I'm stuck in this loop. Any hints?

Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to reset and or restart still won't reset

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to restart and reset but does not work,did follow direstions unplugging apple TV still not resetting/restarting, any help?

Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you.

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Not via Time Machine. It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT: And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port. Second TC not required.

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
