Any Date and Time Connection Problems?

My clock doesn't setup properly at startup, all the time. Do I just need a new PRAM battery? I believe it happened on my Quicksilver, too ... that's why I ask below about the Server. I did get my Quicksilver off eBay ... so it might need a battery, too.
Or is Apple's Time Server having periodic problems? or do I have DSL timing issues?
I am running OS X 10.3.9 on an XPostfacto PowerPC 9500. Shouldn't matter, software wise.
Mac Plus, Performa 6116, PPC 8500, 9500, QS 2@1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Mine are PPC 9500 G3/500, PPC 8500 G4/450, QS Dual 1GHz
I still think there is a problem with Apple Americas ... I got the correct time and date with Apple Europe, and the same bad result from Apple America. My zone is set correctly.
So, I've gone totally Euro.
Thanks.

Data and time

Hello fellow Numbers-users!
I've been using excel spreadsheat earlier, but I thought I might use numbers; since I'm on mac.
My idea is to calculate my income each week, since work also wants my sheat for each week.
Now my problem is that I work funny houer's for example I work:
14:00-21:30 depending on if it's a weekday, holiday or regulear evening; I get extra. Can it be done with numbers or should I just stop my idea there?
extra_pay_1 mon-fri between 19-22 its extra 20/per worked h
extra_pay_2 mon-thur between 22-06 its extra 50/per worked h
These extra_pay are refered to as OB (obekväm arbetstid) in my sheat.
Was hoping for an example, or to know if it's even possible for numbers to sort this out.

Hi jon-eric,
This may help with part of the problem.
This is simply to illustrate a way of testing for mon, tue, wed, thur, fri without lots of IFs
C2 contains this formula (and Fill Down)
=DAYNAME(B2)
That was simply for me to check that all is working! You don't need this column.
Now for the formula to help you.
D2 contains this formula (and Fill Down)
=WEEKDAY(B2,2)
The 2 makes Monday day 1 of the week:
Now you can use weekday less than 6 to check for mon, tue, wed, thur, fri
That will reduce the number of IFs.
(You don't have to display the day name in B. It works with any Date-and-Time format).
Regards,
Ian.

Date and time stamp with Sony HDR CX7

Hi,
I am trying to figure our how to find date and time stamps for individual clips.
My workflow is as follows: I use disk utility to make a disk image (.dmg) of the memory stick and import the clips from this disk image. Everything works fine, but I am not able to find any date and time information on the imported clips.
I am slowly building a large archive of these disk images and I am wondering whether I need to add some some date an time info manually. I know that this information is recorded on the memory stick as the camera can display them.

Config:
Sony HDR CX7
Final Cut Express 4
OS X 10.5

I'd also like to ask if it's really necessary that the statuses within the status profile and date profile should maintained in the same positions.
No

Date and Time since 1900 Jan 1st

I have a cell with the number of days since Jan 1, 1900. How would I display or convert this to a date and time.
3599.4495424 to any date and time format.
Thanks

Simple addition. Format result (a Date and Time value) as you wish, using the Cell format Inspector.

Restriction in event reported date and time

Dear All,
            We have a requirement where we want to keep check on all the reported events such that none of the events are reported with future date and time.
          We have some 25 reporting events and we have an option to keep the check in Preprocessing FM but then i have to add the customizing of each of the reported events.
Do we have any possibility to keep a validation via customizing on Actual Reported Date and time event to be within current date and time i.e. no future event is possible without using preprocessing functionality.
Thanks,
Shubh.

Dear Steffen,
                   Thanks for your reply but what i meant to ask is as below :
                   For an event which I am reporting , I have actual date and time as a field. In this field user can enter any date and time and this will be treated as reported date and time for that event.
   What I need is the restriction that none of the reported date and time is in future from the time when user is actually reporting the event. I am not considering planned date and time as the criteria for restriction.
Thanks,
Shubh.

I hav som problem with my appstore n ibook dey just dont load i thought i need 2 upi date but now in mavericks updates r connected with appstore it opens up but it doesnt load sam with my ibook app and ye my date and time is fine any solutions?

i have some problem with my appstore and ibook they just dont load thought i need to update but now in mavericks updates are now connected with appstore so i cant do that it opens up but doesnt load just blank same with ibook store it says cannot connect and yea my date and time is fine any solutions?

Hi, James.
Yes, the iBook should run even with no battery installed.
These are the four most common possibilities when the battery will not charge:
(1) there is something wrong with your battery
(2) there is something wrong with your power adapter
(3) there is something wrong with your power input board (the part that contains the port where you plug in the adapter)
(4) there is something wrong with your logic board
Since you have eliminated all the possibilities except (4), it is likely that your logic board is having problems. The PMU (Power Management Unit) is part of the logic board, and it may be going out (hence, temporarily working again when you reset it). Since the iBook is not running reliably without the battery in place (as it should), replacing the battery most likely would be futile.
When a computer gets to be five years old, it seems a bit short-sighted to pay very much for repairs, just to have something else go wrong sooner rather than later. Have you had a look at the hugely improved specs on the new MacBooks? Is it time for a new portable to avoid embarrassment during your presentations? It sounds like that could be your best option.

Mag Safe power cord sparks when connected or disconnected--whereupon the MacBook Pro 13'' dumps date and time, and all passwords, plus any/all unsaved information.

I purchased my MacBook Pro 13" from the Apple Store in Tucson, AZ, in mid-January. Since then, every time the Mag-Safe cord is jostled, not even disconnected, sparks fly from the power terminal on the computer, the computer shuts down, and dumps its passwords, as well as the date and time.
Any work in progress is also lost.
I work overseas, and Apple's advice was to give them my credit card number, await shipment of a new power supply and cord, and then, when I return the old power supply and cord, i'd receive a credit. That won't work, as packages from the US to my location take weeks if they arrive at all. There is no Apple Store within a reasonable distance. Or, Apple suggests, when I'm home on leave in mid-June, I should bring the computer to the Apple Store for repair--I have only days in which to do that, but I suppose I'll need to try. My concern is that I'll need to return overseas without my computer and won't be able to retrieve it for months, until my next leave.
This issue shows up elsewhere online. Is there a short in the power terminal in the computer, or on the Mag-Safe power cord, or within the computer itself? It's a known issue, thus I wonder why it hasn't been fixed.

Odd, but here's a copy of Page 1 of the links I got:

From yesterday, I have been facing the problems in my iphone and my wife iphone. The same problem, "cannot connect to itunes store". I have strong internet connection. I tried all the possible way I could like setting, general, date and time.....etc.

I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?

No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
I'll update the routers DNS to try using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS?

Just updated to new iOS 6 on iPhone 3G. Get 'can't connect to iTunes' message. Tried the setting date and time trick but still no success. Any suggestions for 3G iPhone?

Can't remotely connect to my server if I automatically set date and time

Hello.
I have configured my OS X 10.6.2 server and am able to remotely manage it.
The only ports I have opened on my router is for Mail and VPN services.
Things work perfectly because I can connect using VPN to iChat, iCal, Address Book, Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, AFP, FTP and such.
The problem is that on my laptop from home, or wherever, if its time is set to update automatically from an NTP server (I have tried with Apple's as well as my server for the NTP Servers) then I cannot connect to my server at all...
The moment I turn off the auto date and time and reconnect to the office's VPN, I am able to use Server Admin, AFP, FTP, Workgroup Manager, Screen Sharing, etc, etc, etc.
It's utterly frustrating because I have to open system preferences, disable the automatic date and time update, connect to the VPN and do stuff on the server. Then I have to disconnect from VPN and re enable the auto date and time.
Could someone explain why this is happening and any possible solutions I might be able to try?
Thanks in advance,
Felipe.

OK, after some testing things seem to be working now.
I opened the NTP port for my server (So I don't have to be on VPN to update the time)....But regardless of that, Server admin and my corporate site work fine.
Here is my problem, I don't understand why it's working now when 30 minutes ago I was having trouble connecting to my server regardless of what NTP Server I used.
The only service I can't access is Workgroup Manager, but I don't know if that is supposed to be accessible only locally (though it doesn't matter since I can screen share but I would still like to know).
Thanks in advance,
Felipe.

HT1551 Apple TV searches for date and time settings, then the screen goes completely black and I get no response from the remote. Any suggestions?

I've moved to Sweden from Canada, and when I plug my Apple TV in, I get the LED light and the Apple logo, followed by the Setting Date and Time message. After that, everything goes black and I can't make any selections. The LED lgiht is still on however.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Trying to connect apple tv brand new and the screen says 'activating' setting date and time indefinately

just trying to connect to apple tv for the first time and the screen just stays at 'activating' setting time and date and wont let me sign in to itunes sharing until the date and time thing is fulfilled. any thoughts on troubleshooting this issue? thanks

Hi I had same problems and couldn't understand most of the solutions on offer as I'm a bit of a Luddite. The problem seems to be getting ATV to register your network time and date details following the upgrade of software. I use a wireless connection at home and my firewall was blocking the ATV from obtaining this information. Instead of changing router settings, firmware etc (which is beyond me) I solved it this way:
1. Rather than use my existing wireless connection I connected the ATV to my iPhone personal hotspot (iPhone has 3G connection). It may be another network could also be effective.
2. ATV connected via the iPhone no problem apparently got the network time and date settings ok.
3. The previous ATV functionality was restored.
3. I then disconnected from my iPhone hotspot and re-connected to my main wireless connection. All worked fine.
It seems what you need to do is side-step the router firewall problem. Hope it works for others.

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!!!!

My daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck. help!

my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

Any Date and Time Connection Problems?
