All of a sudden, my clock stopped announcing the time

Hello folks,
My clock setting is to announce time every half hour. When I go to settings, customize voice and push "play" for the chosen voice, all I get is silence
iMac sound is at maximum volume and I hear everything: music, tones, Skype, etc., etc. but not the clock announcing
Does anybody has a hint?
Thanks Paulo

Hello evebody,
Maybe somebody will be interested. I solved the problem myself, as I discovered what was affecting my clock announcement was a left over of Conduit Search.
After eliminating it all returned to normal

My MacBook Pro won't stop announcing the time in Japanese.

It was funny at first but now I want it to stop.

Hey TravisBickle,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check your Date & Time preferences, and disable the “Announce the time” option:
OS X Mavericks: Set date and time options
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14090
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Date & Time.
2. Do any of the following:
- Click Date & Time, then choose to set date and time automatically or manually.
- Click Time Zone, then select your city.
- Click Clock, then make sure that “Show date and time in menu bar” is selected.
If you want to hear the time announced, select “Announce the time,” then choose from the pop-up menu how frequently you want the time announced. If you like, customize the voice.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My Mac is 15 months old and all of a sudden it has started resetting the time and date then I get a message saying not all apps will work because of the pre Jan date any help as to why ? Causing problems with wireless router.

My Mac book pro is 15 months old and now suddenly it has started resetting the date and time, causing problems with applications and my wireless access. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

Seems the time isn't being saved to your computer correctly, it may be a corrupt file that isn't saving the time anymore.
You can move the
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file out of your Users/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.
then go to your System Preferences > Date and Time and set a time server close to your location (or in your time zone)
(trash the file on the desktop if no ill issues occur later on)
or you can follow/bookmark these support docs to reset your PRAM and SMC (and for future reference)

I don't remember exactly where OS X is keeping it time settings now, but I think one of those choices should help resolve your issue and won't hurt anything giving them a shot. Perhaps someone else could refresh my memory.

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
and
2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
Thanks

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I am currently volunteering in Uganda, so data is precious. I can no longer afford unlimited data, I pay by MB/GB. All of a sudden Mail has stopped receiving. I wait until about 60meg, but no new mail. Using Gmail. Doctor says connected fine.

I am currently volunteering in Uganda, so data is precious. I can no longer afford unlimited data, I pay by MB/GB. All of a sudden Mail has stopped receiving. I wait until about 60meg, but no new mail. Using Gmail. Connectivity Doctor says connected fine. No probs there. And weirdly, when I want to send an email. I write it, it takes absolutely ages to try to send but as soon as I click disconnect it sends the email. Very odd. I would just love to be able to write all my emails offline and save to drafts/Outbox and then just connect to send and check emails then disconnect again.

I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried?

I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried? Should I just let it expire.

Unless you have a company or school iPod, that profile was installed by an app you installed. It is likely that the app will no longer function when that date is reached. You can Google the name of the profile and that may provide some more information.

Hello shahnaztech
They probably could be related. Start with the articles below to troubleshoot issues with Wi-Fi as well as making sure that the router is using the recommended settings.

When I go to youtube and view a video clip it usually asks if i want to save the video I'm watching. Now all of a sudden it no longer asks the question. How do I get it back?

I believe that might be related to this:
See: http://real.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7303/p/3/c/2222/r_id/119487
Real is always, it seems, late in releasing updates for new browser updates. They are given the same opportunity during the Firefox pre-release testing as other developers to be sure that their products will work with new Firefox releases.
But, alas, always the same problem!
