Apple TV Bug - Internal Clock Incorrect

Hello. I think I've found a pretty significant bug with the Apple TV. The internal clock is clearly 1 hour ahead of the current time, so hasn't taken into account the clocks going forward/backward complication.
I know this cause I just played some content on my Apple TV. When I look at my Recently Played playlist in iTunes, the content that I just played on my Apple TV shows up, but it says I played it an hour later than it currently is.
Is there any way to manually set your Apple TV's internal clock?

Hi,
This has been covered by Mac Fixit, and it appears that Apple is aware of the problem. Here's what they have to say -
Apple TV Special Report: Incorrect time setting
It appears that many Apple TVs are displaying the wrong time -- generally several hours ahead of the current, actual time as maintained by the host Mac/PC. This causes issues with the "Last played" time-stamp, which may erroneously show a future time for the last playback.
This is an issue into which Apple is looking, and may necessitate an Apple TV software revision.

Internal Clock

The internal clock in my Apple TV doesn't seem to be synchronized with my MacBook... and there doesn't seem to be any way to change it. It's listing programing with an air date of "March 22, 2007" as being yesterday, when it's clearly still today.....

I'm curious, although I do not know, whether or not Apple has implemented the DST patches on the AppleTV required since our clock rules changed this year. Since your clock is off by more than an hour, there is probably more going on here. Even if you manage to get network syncronization done, this will be important atleast for the next month or so.
Quoting from Microsoft:
Beginning in 2007, daylight saving time (DST) will be extended in the United States. DST will start on March 11, 2007, which is three weeks earlier than usual, and it will end on November 4, 2007, which is one week later than usual. This results in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than in previous years. Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four-week period. In particular, you must make sure that both your Windows operating system and your calendar programs are updated.

Computer shuts off when unplugged, resets internal clock

I have been having an issue lately with my mid 2009 MBP 13in where occasionally if the magsafe adapter is removed from the notebook, it will suddenly shut off. After about a minute, I am able to start it up again and it will be on battery power until I reset the SMC. When it does load up OSX, the internal clock is reset to some date in 2001 and I have to manually change it back to the present for everything to play nice again. It's been pretty annoying at times and I have no idea what would cause the computer to act up so sporadically. I can't recreate the problem on command, it just happens when I least expect it. The battery is fine as Coconutbattery shows a life of about 89% still. Does anyone have any idea what and why this occurs?

Remove the battery and inspect for any abnormalities. Check the contacts on both the battery and the computer. Also check your battery status under Apple Menu> About This Mac. Click on More Info and then the System Profiler will come up. In the left hand column select Power and see what your battery status is there compared to what Coconut battery said.

IMac starts with sound but remains with Apple logo and the clock running indefinetely

After software upgrade ( from mavericks to new mavericks ) iMac doesn't start anymore. It remains always in the same mode: after the sound of start the Apple logo and the clock that runs indefinitely without the start of the software. Someone knows what to do?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Apple ID Not found/Password incorrect

Hiya,
I am constantly receiving an error when I try to login to the app store/ itunes. I can access my account online so my password isn't incorrect. I have reset it nevertheless but still I continue to receive the 'Apple ID Not found/Password Incorrect' error.
I was wondering if anybody else has had such problems?
Thanks in advance!

Ahh, so it isn't just me? I had asked a few friends to check and they say that they have been able to login successfully. Perhaps it's an internal error. Thank you for replying
Edit:
Yes, I am putting the correct Apple ID in. It was working up until 5 minutes ago. I can login on the Apple website fine but not via my iTunes, app store or the iTunes on my iPhone and iPad

OS-X internal clock isn't working

All of a sudden I'm getting an error message when I start up my iBook about my internal clock. The past 3-4 weeks I keep getting a message that my internal clock is set prior to 2001 and may cause problems. I'm not quite sure what internal clock it is talking about, but have been having problems with some things that are attached to a specific date. Even my battery doesn't seem to work right. In the past I got a warning that I was below a certain amount of battery charge, usually some where around 10%-13% of charge left. Now, the gauge will sometimes show as much as 30% of the battery and my iBook will shut down.
Whether or not the problem with the internal clock has anything to do with the battery I don't know.
Does anyone know what kind of "internal clock" the error message is talking about?

Michael, thank you for the link. Question now is how do I figure out which iBook I have?
OK, start here:
iBook: How to Identify iBook Models
Note the different typeface (Apple Garamond) used on the earlier models, illustrated at the top of each table.
You can also do Apple Menu > About This Mac and then click on the "More Info" button to get to the System Profiler. As it happens, my iBook is officially a "Late 2001" rather than a true "Dual USB", but among other things System Profiler says:
Machine Name: iBook
Machine Model: PowerBook4,1

If you post your equivalent information (leave out your serial number) somebody will be able to decipher it.

IPod Nano International Clock Settings

I live in India and recently bought an iPod Nano. I wanted to use the International Clocks but the timing listed for the European cities as well as the Asian cities is wrong by exactly half an hour ahead of the real time.
Apple India are saying there is nothing they can do as there is no option to change manually the time on the listed cities. My Nano shows the correct time as I entered it manually, but I wanted to get some of the European cities as well.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem???

Could be something to do with Daylight Saving Time. Set the clock to the "wrong" time then select daylight saving time and adjust it either on or off, this could change the time. Other than that, send it in for a service.

I am setting up my new iPhone 5s with back up from iCloud but only my expired applied is recognised. even though i put in the original correct password it is not accepted as message comes up that "your apple id or password is incorrect". I am stuck.

I am setting up my new iphone 5s using a back up from icloud. Problem arises when asked for Apple id and password the second time for store purchases. It shows my old expired Apple id (my old email address). There is no option to change the id and even when I put in the correct password for the old id (used originally) it kicks me out with the message ""Your Apple ID or password is incorrect" .. this is true as my apple id is wrong but I cant change it. Anyone know what I should do. Dont have access to my old deleted email account. Thanks

When install iTunes 11.1.4 It says Apple Mobile Device Service service will not start. It was started when I began the installation. Is this an Apple software bug?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Without knowing what the problem is, no-one can help. You did not need to repurchase anything.

If I configure a buffered pattern input and a buffered pattern output on the 6534 to both operate from the internal clock, will data be transferred out on the same rising edge as data is transfered in or are there two separate oscillators?

Basically, I want to perform a buffered pattern output synchronously with a buffered pattern input. If I configure the two groups to be internally timed from the same frequency, will the data in be transferred on the same edge as the data out or will the two groups use different oscillators?

Hi Joseph,
There are two clocking structures on the 653x boards, one for each group. This means, even if you specify the exact same frequency for both there is no guarantees that they will be synchronized exactly.
The workaround for synchronizing both groups is to have 1 group clocked internally and 1 group to be clocked externally. Then route the Req line from the internally clocked group to the Req line of the externally clocked group.
Hope that helps.

International clock widget on dashboard doesn't show the "i" to change the city. Is there any way to do it?

Hi,
On dashboard my international clock doesn't show the "i" to select the time zone. Any idea to solve it? Thanks.

Try hovering your cursor over the clock. Does the "i" appear then?

For NI-6534 PCI, does the internal clock send one 8-bit word, for one port, at the clock's Hi to Lo transition, Lo-hi, any at transition at all or neither?

here is my understanding of how the internal clock works. There is an 8-bit word for a port ready and waiting. Clock goes at transition, that word id read out, a new word comes up next. Clock transitions again, new word goes out. Is this correct?
Is "clock transition"="update" in manuel, example code language.
What does 8-bit word get sent out on, Hi to Lo, Lo to Hi, either, neither.
No handshake, no trigger.
I am still using "Buffered Pattern Output VI", and am trying to figure out 8-bit word is sent out to the port via the internal clock and how these work together to accomplish this.
Thanks much for help

Nate,
when doing pattern I/O on NI 6534, by default the data is transferred on the falling edge of the internal clock. Therefore, your 8-bit word from the specified (8-bit) port will be transferred at the internal clock's Hi-to-Lo transition. However, you can choose the edge (falling or rising) you want the data transfer to occur at. In labview, you will have to use Digital Mode Config.vi that is called by the DIO Config VI and specify the REQ polarity.
You can look at page 2-18 of the NI 6534 user manual available at the following link for more info.

How do I adjut the internal clock?, how do I adjust the internal clock?, how do I adjust the internal clock?

Sign came up and said, internal clock was set to March 2001 and mught affect programs-how do I change it?
J

Go to System Preferences > Date & Time. You can reset both the date and the time in that control pane.
You can also select to have the date & time set automatically - that will work as long as the machine has a connection available to the internet.
If the date/time changed after you had unplugged the machine and plugged it back in, consider replacing the internal battery. One purpose of that battery is to maintain date/time settings even when the machine is unplugged. When that battery gets used up, it can't do its job; those batteries have an expected life of only 4 to 5 years.
