10.5.1. bootcamp - date / time funky and and wireless goes dead

two funky issues I've experienced on my core 2 duo macbook
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
first thing I noticed when switching back and forth from XP to Leopard was that the time gets funked up. Is there something nasty going on with EFI or BIOS or whatever holds the time? Seems like it gets messes up, then re-synced with time server over the net.. anybody else notice this?
Also, when going to sleep and booted from xp, and opening my clamshell back up, I've noticed my wireless sometimes doesn't come back.. kinda curious that when you wake the make from sleep, XP dings like it redetected hardware that had been unplugged.. that's not the behavior I'm accustomed to when using other PC laptops with XP and waking up from sleep.. is this just the way apple collaborated on the drivers? or part of the problem with the disappearing wireless network card after waking from sleep!?

Time: This has been discussed a lot; Mac OS and Windows read your computer's clock differently. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6271964&#6271964
Sleep: Windows is buggy. Don't let Windows sleep. Don't even let it activate the screen saver.

  • Checking if Date/Time is Available (and then some more)

    Okay, so I am stepping out of my as3 skill set here quite a ways and need some bookoo assistance (Flash 5.5). I am working on trying to come up with a way (an AIR desktop application, or web application) for the teachers on my campus to be able to assign students to a variety of detention types, dates/times with limited seating available.  I want the teachers to be able to input the student data and select a date/time or even multiple dates/times, then have the program check to see if there are any available seats remaining for that date/time.  If so, assign the student to that seat.  If not, display the next available seat's date for that time slot with the option to assign student to that date or choose another.
    I also want to be able to run a report that will tell me who is serving which detention, when (date/time) and in what room.
    I would also like teachers to be able to "re-assign" a student if they needed to for whatever reason, thus freeing a seat in the previous slot and filling a seat in another.
    I'm not quite sure where to start aside from the interface design (that I can easily handle). Does anyone know of a good tutorial (or a few) that could get me on my way to try to code all this?
    Thanks!

    except for making a calendar (http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/actionscript/understanding-date-making-a-calendar-in- as3/) there is only logic needed to create that app.

  • Reminders are not keeping the date/time I set and are not reminding me.

    When I create a reminder, I schedule the date/time to be reminded.  Once I close the Reminders, the date/time are removed from the items in the list.  This just started a few days ago.  I haven't done an update; my phone is up to date.
    Thanks!

    Body text in all of the Page Layout templates is filler text, in Latin. It's there to show the user (that would be you) what a mass of text will look like on the page, without the distraction of having the words actually mean something in the language of the user.
    That filler text is also "Placeholder" text. Click anywhere in the box holding that text and ALL of the text in that box will be selected. Type a single character, and ALL of the placeholder text will disappear, replaced by the character you typed.
    (Some) Headline text in the same templates is in English (possibly in other languages in other localizations), which may or may not be a good idea. A headline reading "Vikings new Champs!!" could blind the user to several posible uses for that template. A headline reading "Lorem Ipsum" leaves those possibilities open.

  • ITunes 11 no longer updates the song play count or the last played date/time on Win7 and on Macs

    I've downloaded and installed iTunes 11 on 2 Win7 PC's, on my Macbook (Mountain Lion), MacbookPro (Snow Leopard) and new Mac mini (Mountain Lion). The song "play count" and "last played date/time" do not update after playing songs on any platform. This problem needs to be corrected as I have 2 iPods and an iPhone that I like to sync every few days. I have not tried the sync yet and will not as long as this problem persists.

    I read another similar post about this same issue, where it was said the the "next play" list could be cleared to get the play count and last played date/time to update. That is true, however iTunes stops playing from the playlist entirely - all you hear is the single song. This is not any sort of upgrade or fix. For the sake of one nicety, Apple programmers have broken a fundamental feature and function. This is not good!

  • HT4436 Can't synchronise dates/time on ipod and icloud

    This might be because of time differences between US and Australia - I would have thought this was done automatically - the dates and times are out by hours and if I change to synchronise on one it jumps hours on the other

    I have worked this out - sorry for asking

  • Since upgrading to 8.1 not connecting to WiFi and battery is going dead after 2-3 hours

    Unfortunately, like most people I upgraded my iPhone 5 to the IOS 8.1.  Now I cannot connect to WIFI and my battery is draining after 2 - 3 hours.  I have deleted most of my apps but still no luck.  What a disaster.  Samsung is looking better and better, can anyone help before I take drastic measures and trade this phone in.

    okay i managed to fix the issue with the graphics on archeage, everything no longer appears multiplied in different colors.
    but i am still having the pixle issue.
    But now i have also discovered a new problem and thought it wouldn't hurt to post it here also.
    My mouse has become supper sensitive when playing my games, one little touch when trying to rotate the screen sends it into a frenzy and i end up looking at the sky or my characters feet. i didn't notice this before as i didn't even attempt to move with
    the multiple color images everywhere. Also when holding down my screen rotation button it continues to rotate in that direction even though i am no longer moving the mouse that way. 
    I did notice that there was a patch for mouse issues so i tried to install it but it said i didn't have the requirements for it, so i assume it was included with the 8.1 update.
    I have tried adjusting the settings in the games for mouse sensitivity, and it does not effect it, i even tried to adjust the computers but could not find the setting for what i was after. The mouse rotation button is holding the left or right mouse button
    down and moving the cursor in the direction you want it to move. i couldn't see anything there that can help with that as the cursor speed is fine, its only happens when i try to rotate the screen.
    Any help on this and my pixle issue would be greatly appreciated!

  • How can I display date+time and not the point number in excell?

    Hi everyone,
    Could anybody tell me how I can save date + time to a file, so that  I can display on a diagram(excel) : date+time in (ox) and data (oy)? :
    My program sets in (ox) the point number and not the date+time....( although  date and time are written correctly in the column...)
    Any help would be great,
    Thanks,
    regards,
    Marc

    hi there,
    excel uses 01.01.1900 00:00 as the time offset, LabVIEW uses 01.01.1904 02:00, so you can't display the correct datetime in excel when you write the time as a fractional number of seconds from LabVIEW. you must format the datetime in LabVIEW to a string and write that to the column. use the "Format Date/Time String" - function and for example "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S%3u" as the format string (see the functions help for more examples). you also could format your data to a string using "Format Into String" - function and write the file as a 2D string array. the decimal point you have to use depends on your system and its settings, but you can specify the decimal point in the Format string like "%.;%f" (means fractional number with point as decimal point).
    best regards

  • Batch edit date & time in PSE 8 Mac/Bridge

    OK, maybe it's jet lag. I uploaded all my vacation photos, and realized I had forgotten to adjust camera date/timezone. I remember that earlier versions of PSE Windows had the ability to batch adjust the date/time shot, but I can't find it in Bridge CS4 or PSE 8 Mac. I really don't want to do it manually for a few hundred photos. Is the capability hiding in there somewhere? thx

    Thanks, Barbara. One of the utilities you mentioned -- PhotoInfo -- does have a very easy batch mode for date/time change. And, of course, so does iPhoto.
    Unfortunately, they both run afoul of another detail: there are multiple date/time stamps stored in a JPG. iPhoto and PhotoInfo both read/write the CreateDate XMP metadata field, but Bridge and PSE appear to base "Date Created" on the value stored in the DateTimeOriginal EXIF field. I haven't tried GraphicConverter yet, nor EXIFtool, which definitely handles all timestamps but is command-line only. I have some tools on the Windows side that I'll try first.

  • When creating a comment summary, I want to end up with a pdf of comments only. In addition, I do not want author, date, time, or page number to show in my comments summary. How can I do this?

    When creating a comment summary, I want to end up with a pdf of comments only. In addition, I do not want author, date, time, or page number to show in my comments summary. How can I do this? I do a lot of reading, and when I summarize my comments, I like to save these comments in a larger document I compile over time. I typically create a comment summary, export it to a text editor and find myself having to delete author, date, time, page number, and anything else that is not the raw and net comment. It would save me some good time if someone showed me how to do this. The reason I do not want any additional information is because it simply adds stuff I do not need in my compilation of summaries for large amounts of papers over time.

    What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.

  • Crystal Report 8.5 (Date/Time Tab Missing)

    Hi All,
    I have been using Crystal Reports Pro 8.5 (SP3) for a while now but I have come across one problem which I cannot understand.
    All Date and Time fields within our SQL database are showning in Crystal as only Date fields even though they are definately Date Time field. If I explore the field data within Crystal it only shows me the Date field.
    The interesting twist is my work colleague has got the same O/S Windows 7 and the exact same version of Crystal as me and he is able to see the Date/Time tab when formatting the field and Crystal identifies the field as a DateTime field.
    Any help would be much appericated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    It's the ODBC driver you are using, or how ever you are connecting. They are likely using a newer version which CR see's the data/time field type and not convert it to a date field.
    Or it could be one of your Report Options. 8.5 is 10 years old not so I don't recall what the reason for this was now.
    Check your database driver and settings.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Problem with Date / Time Title - Showing Inacurate Information

    I use iMovie to make videos for my job. The videos need to have an accurate running time and date displayed on them. I use the "Date/Time" Title option and the running time and date appear on the video. BUT- there is a problem. The time is wrong.
    When I import a video clip (from my Panasonic HDC-TM80) into iMovie, I can see the "time and date created" as well as the "length" of the video clip. The time and date created shows the time and date of when the clip ENDS. When I overlay the "Date/Time" Title, it starts the time (at the beginning of the clip) from the created time (which is actually the end).
    Example:
    Clip Created (end of clip): 3/23/11 10:30:00am
    Length of clip: 12 min. 35 sec.
    The actual Date/Time Title should show 10:17:25am at the beginning and runs through 10:30:00am (the end).
    But instead it shows 10:30:00am at the beginning and runs through 10:42:35am. This obviously results in a 12 min. 35 sec. inaccuracy.
    Is this a problem with the software? Is there a way to contact someone to alert them of this problem? Or am I missing something simple?
    Thanks in advance for anyone's help.
    -as a quick fix, I adjusted the time and date on the video clips so that it would show the correct info, but I'm usually working with several clips at a time and it is laborious to change each one.

    I don't have an answer but was wondering how you like the TM80? Except for the date/time issue, is it compatible with iMovie'11?
    Thanks!

  • Problem activating 'Show Date/Time in Menubar'

    Hallo all,
    since the upgrade to Snow Leopard the Time is not shown in the menubar.
    I teried to activate 'Show Date/time in Menubar' in System Preferences->Date/time->Clock, but it is not possible to check the corresponding button, it remains unchecked.
    In the folder 'System/Library/Coreservices/Menu Extras/' is an empty file 'clock.menu'. For all other menu items appearing in the menubar, e.g. Users, Airport etc.,there is a corresponding '.menu' file which is not empty. Perhaps this is the reason - but how can I repair the clock.menu file? Or is there another reason for the missing date/time?
    Thanks and greetings
    Danny

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    but how can I repair the clock.menu file?
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move these files com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist amd com.apple.systemuiserver.plist to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Date & Time Disappears Under 10.5

    Hi,
    My brother has just set up his new 20" iMac. We have just discovered that when we connect to his Firewire ATMT external hard drive, the date & time disappear from the menubar at the top of the screen.
    When we open the date & time system preferences and check the 'show in menubar' option, after a few seconds, the box unchecks itself. This only occurs when the hard drive is connected.
    Has anybody experienced the same bug? This bug occurs in 10.5 and 10.5.1.
    Any ideas of a fix?

  • Display original clip date-time

    I'm using FCPX 10.0 to mount a video whish must display the original clip date-time.
    I have found a timecode generator, a free TimeDate generators by RippleTraining but no one to simply print the *original* clip date time, as well as I can see on my Video-Cam simply pressing a button. I need to show that date-time (as Fri, April 14th 2014 - 11:19:59 a.m.) changing in real time, exacly as in a video-surveillance movie, because of legal reasons.
    Any idea?

    You can have a custom table where u can store date-time of search, and can track, accordingly by order by clause to get the last search date-time.
