Asked to change Date and Time upon starting my G5 with Leopard 10.5.5

Hello, I just installed Leopard 10.5.5 on my G5 2dual 2.7 and eveything works great. The only issue I see, which is minor, is I am always asked to change the date and time manually after starting up the computer. The date defaults to June 1st 1969 or something crazy like that. I check the set date and time automatically and if sets itself correctly- Like I said this isn't really creating any functionality problems, but I am curious to know why I am always getting that message? Thanks in advance, Brett

Sounds like a failing PRAM battery. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&q=pram%20battery&archive=y for appropriate items.

  • I changed the date on my mac to 1995 now date and time or start up disks wont open what can i do?

    i changed the date on my mac to 1995 now date and time or start up disks wont open what can i do?

    Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
    Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
    Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
    At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
    sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
    ... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 16 December 2013 then reverse the mm and dd values.
    Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
    mm = month
    dd = date
    hh = hour (24 hour format)
    nn = minutes past the hour
    yyyy = year
    Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is December 16, 2013 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
    sudo date 121621002013
    or
    sudo date 1216210013
    Either one will work.
    To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
    Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
    To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

  • Unable to Determine the Change Date and Time for records in infotype 2011

    Hi Everyone,
    We need to know on when the clock-in and clock-out records were interfaced to SAP in infotype 2011.
    The change date/time field in infotype 2011 is blank/not populated. Hence, we're unable to determine on when the clock-in records were updated in infotype 2011.
    It is not possible to get the audit logs for infotype 2011 as it is switched off.
    We found this table TEVEN and just the same thing, the field "change on" is blank.
    Kindly help us on how we can determine the change date and time for records in infotype 2011.

    Hi Prasad,
    Here's the scenario.
    On June 3, it was reported that staff's clock-in record on june 1, 7:00AM is missing in infotype 2011.
    However, when I checked infotype 2011, the record is there.
    So, they are now asking me on when this record was updated in infotype 2011 as they are thinking that there might be some delays in sending of the data to SAP.
    The created on and created at in table TEVEN shows the same, june 1, 7:00AM which seems to be not true as on june 3, it was reported to be missing.
    Can you help further on this?

  • Changing Date and Time

    I have selected both photos and event separately in several attempts to change date and time in Photos/Adjust Date and Time without success. Each time I have attempted to do so another date and time has replaced the previous one but each has been incorrect. Some dates have been inserted dating back several centuries!! The time as well as the date has been incorrect.
    I would appreciate suggestions and help in making the change correct.
    Thanks.
    Vernon

    I also have this problem. One folder in particular is affected; within it after a few times to get it into the 2000's from 1900's, it is currently showing 1539.
    I am at a loss since the batch change roller lets me select the correct year in iphoto.
    I thought it might be a glitch in the older software so upgraded to the '11 iphoto. This made no difference at all.
    This is still an issue unless the original poster got an answer or worked it out him/her self.
    I also use Picasa on the same system but since it gets the photos from iphoto, it gets its errors there too.

  • Why does calendar keep changing dates and times on icloud

    My calendar keeps randomly changing dates and times when using icloud and it is doing my head in.
    Is there a simple way of rectifying this or do I have to get rid of icloud altogether (to save my sanity?)

    If this is an iCloud calendar, you might want to check your time zone and time zone support settings.  Go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click your name at the top and choose Account Settings, click Time Zone and be sure it shows the correct time zone and that you have selected a city near you.  Then open your calendar on icloud.com, click the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, click the Advanced tab and make sure you have not checked time zone support at the top.
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section) and make sure this is set to Off.

    It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2

    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
    As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
    Was there an update maybe ?

  • Not allowed to change date and time for some photos; why?

    I have some images that I scanned in of old photos.  I'm trying to change the date and time and location to reflect the time the original photo was taken.  I know how to do it in the menu system, but when I try to change the original data it tells me they are of a file type that won't allow this metadata to be changed.  They are simple JPEG's so I'm not sure what the problem is.  Do I need to convert it to some other format first to be able to do this?  Any ideas would be helpful...

    Hello Toran,
    are trying to change the date and time of the versions only, or are you trying to change the date and time of the masters too? If you are using
         Meta Data -> change date and time
    deselect "also change master file", this causes the problem, the new Aperture version seems not to allow to change the date and time of masters.
    There have been long discussions on this problem, see e.g. this thread; I do not know if somebody has found a solution by now,
    Regards, Léonie

  • Apple TV only showing trying to change date and time. I have recently changed to a new wifi provider and need to change the settings in tha ATV box.

    Apple TV only showing trying to change date and time. I have recently changed to a new wifi provider and need to change the settings in tha ATV box.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • How to Change date and time on my printer

    I want to know how to change the date and time on my printer.

    annazmussaqib,
    OK, now enter the following command in the administrative user’s Terminal window:
    sudo date -n 122921502013
    When it asks you for a password, enter your administrative user’s password; it will not show the password as you type it.
    After you enter that command, enter this command again:
    date
    It should show a date and time that is close enough to the actual date and time that you should be able to go into the Date & Time pane of System Preferences without it hanging.

    i want to know my table changed or modified date and time.. plz help..
    Frequently asked basic question. Please search the web before posting and put a little more effort in framing a question that is understandable for all others.

    Hi,
    Check the Table: DD02L
    DD02L~AS4USER
    DD02L-AS4DATE
    other way..
    thought you want to know who last changed the contents?
    If you're lucky then the table is set for "table logging" in the technical settings (SE11), then you can find out via tx SCU3
    Hope this will help you..

  • How can i change date and time after importing a file

    hello
    i'm importing AVI files first in iMovie because Final doesn't support (other question i put in) but when i see the scenes form 1993 they have the date 2004.
    i believe 2004 is the date i put them on the computer.
    Now i looked in the help files Final Cut Pro but cant find anything to adjust the date and time.
    it works well in iMovie using the help files:
    Right-click the clip you wish to edit and click Adjust Clip Date and Time from the menu that appears. Or click on Archive and than adjust date and time
    But as i said i cant import the files in FCP have to import them to  iMovie files adjust the date and than import to Final Cut Pro but than de changes i made to the date and time  are gone and in FCP 2004 is again the date of the file!!!
    Question how can i Change in Final Cut Pro the date and time in a same way as iMovie does?
    Jemajoro

    OK, I think I understand what you are saying but it still does not look like it is doing it as you describe.
    Here is another screen shot.
    Note that all clips in "2007 August" event have the date of Aug x, 2007.
    Yet, the event "2007 August" still shows up under the 2012 "folder" (is that the right terminology?).
    The newest clip in this event is Aug 31, 2007 so shouldn't it be categorized as 2007 and not 2012?
    I think you know this but I am using the following feature:
    Go to the sprocket icon under the events.
    Select "Group events by date" and then by "group events by year and month"
    Thanks again for all the help
