Automatic synchronizing date and time

If this feature is not provided by the carrier, is there another way to get automatically synchronization to accurate time? I did not find any apps to sync the internal clock.

Hi eagink,
If it is just the one cell delete the data, reformat the cell and reenter the date/time. You are right tht there is soething in that cell thta Numbers will not recognize as date/time. If you need further help how about a screenshot of the stubborn cell?

  • 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.

  • Automatically Setting Date and Time - How often does it occur?

    Can anyone tell me exactly when Mac OS X retrieves the date and time from Apple's time server? Quite often, the time on my Mac is several seconds out from the correct time. When I open the "Date and Time Preferences", it seems to sync up with the correct time and everything is good.
    Is there any way to schedule when Mac OS X automatically sets the time, or how frequently over the course of a day it sets the time? Or, alternatively, does anyone know of a utility that I can use to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Hi Barry,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have a wristwatch that receives a radio signal which transmits the correct date and time from an atomic clock in Fort Boulder, Colorado. The watch automatically picks up this signal three times a day (in the early morning so as to get the correct time once we go on/off DST) and sets my watch to it. So my watch is always accurate (so long as it can receive this signal). I have an alarm clock that uses the same principle. It's actually kinda nice...I can look at my watch and KNOW I have the right time!
    At any rate, that's how I know my Mac's clock is out a few seconds...I just check it to my watch.
    The real reason I would like to be able to schedule this function (or, at least have it occur more often) is so my Palm TX gets the correct time from my Mac each morning. I automatically sync it to my Mac every morning, and one of the conduits actually synchronizes the Palm clock to the one on my Mac.
    I'm just curious to find out when exactly Mac OS X sets the clock. Does it happen once a day? Once a week? I haven't had my Mac for all that long, so I do not know what will happen when we go off DST this spring. Will OS X (based on the date) just bump up its clock by one hour, or will it actually get the correct time from Apple's time server and sync the Mac clock to it?
    And, if there's no way the change when this happens or the frequency with which it occurs, is there anyone out there who has written a utility which can do this?
    What about Automator? I'm new to the Mac world, so I am just learning about all this stuff. When I open the Date and Time System Preferences, the clock seems to sync up at that point. Could I use Automator to do this?
    As always, any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks again for your reply, Barry!

  • Automatically setting date and time

    Is there any way to automatically set the date and time on an iPod Touch? I don't think so, but I thought maybe there was a third-party app or some other work around to do this. I don't see why this isn't built into the OS. I know the iPhone can do this by getting time information from the cellular network, but why cannot this be done also over a wireless network? My computer can connect to a time server over the internet.

  • Ipad will not automatically set date and time

    My ipad drained and when I recharged it the date read 31 Dec 1970.  Now it will not automatically connect and update the date and time, and cannot connect to itunes.  I can recieve emails on this device but I can's send emails.  So it must have some kind of connectivity...would appreciate any comments or help.  Very frustrated.

    Try resetting it.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • Automatically displaying date and time in a date/time field on form initialize

    Good day all;
    I am trying to have the current date and time automatically be generated in a “date/time” field when the form is opened.
    I went through the forum and found an entry from Srini “ xfa.host.messageBox("" + Date());” . Of course this brought up a system message box with the date and time.
    I then tried “DateTimeField1.rawValue = (“”+date())… This also gave me a system message box with the date and time…
    Please let me know where I am going wrong
    Chomp

    Found the answer... And yes... in was in the "help" section... What can I say I was making it a lot more crazy than I needed to.
    You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
    When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
    1.
    In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
    2.
    In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
    3.
    Select the Runtime Property option.
    4.
    View the form in the Preview PDF tab.

  • How to automatically update date and time on Numbers spreadsheet

    Would like to have printed version of Numbers spreadsheet reflect present date and time.  I know how to do this in Excel, but can't figure out how to get there in Numbers.

    Add the date and time to the Header or Footer in the Print Dialog via the Insert menu.
    It is only semi-automatic, in that to update the date and time, you must either delete and reinsert the date and time, or you must open the token and update by clicking the Set to Today button.

  • I have an apple tv that wont stream video and wont automatically set date and time

    Would like help setting up apple tv
    I can stream netlix with no issue with my  iPad and on both a notebook PC and desktop
    The apple TV says its connnected to the internet when I check internet settings however it will not set the date and time upon initial power up and I cannot view any internet content

    This sounds like a port issue. Somebody (possibly wjosten) posted a list of ports that need to be open in order for the ATV to work correctly.
    Check your router set up and see if there are any services that are open for your iPad but blocked for the ATV

  • Automatically set date and time in PDF file

    Good Day to all
    I use LiveCycle to create a PDF template so my users can fill up reports with out printing, the problem is the "time/date" field changes every time the supervisor open the file, so there is no way to track the date the report was created.
    I'm looking for a way (any trick) to make the automatically set but only when I save the document instead when I open it, I hope I'm explaining myself.
    Or maybe I just need to use another software, if you can recomend me one, or a trial just to be sure is the one I need.
    Any help would be great!!!...
    Thanks!!!

    You probably might have placed the code to populate the Data/ time value on the initialize event. Before you assign the current system date, check if the field has a value already. If it has then do not assign a new value.
    Thanks

  • Set Date and Time Automatically...doesn't

    We've noticed that the setting to automatically synchronize date and time to Apple's time server doesn't work if the system preference is 'locked'
    In other words, if the user that's logged in currently, isn't an admin user, then the machine doesn't set the date and time automatically.
    As soon as you unlock the system preference by clicking the padlock at the bottom, the date and time sync as they should.
    Anyone else noticed this?

    We do want the clock correct. The issue here is that the internal clocks drift - as I understand it, this is the one of the main reasons behind using a network time server.
    With the Date and time preferences set to 'Set date and time automatically', the but with the lock at the bottom corner locked- it's as though being locked is preventing the automatic date and time settings from updating.
    But the preference is checked on, and so the clock should be 'resetting' itself as necessary.
    To give an example- say the machine has been off for a while, and unplugged. This will cause the machine not to know what the Date and Time is. When the machine starts up, the preference should kick in, and the machine should 'Update date and time' automatically.
    But it doesn't. So long as that padlock is locked, even though the preference is checked on, the machine will not alter the date and time - until the padlock is unlocked.

  • How to prevent calendar from deleting dates and times from event names?

    Calendar automatically discards date and time information from titles of new events. For example, creating a new event with the text "Staff Meeting 9 a.m. board room" leaves only "Staff Meeting". Calendar discards the "9 a.m. board room" information without asking. This feature is not helpful to me. How do I disable it?

  • Inserting automatic file name, date and time in Illustrator CS3?

    hello all,
    is there an option in Illustrator where you could automatically insert inside your file the file name, date and time where it was last created or modified, etc.
    I found this option to exist in InDesign, but could not find the same menu in Illustrator. I am using CS3.
    help?
    thanks a bunch.

    Mario,
    would you please be so kind to include a reference on your site about the script? As far as I can see, the PutDateandTime.js you are providing here is a copy or a slightly modified copy of the original script that Wolfgang Reszel has provided on our site for about four years.
    It is okay that the script is available on your site, but please not without a reference. Thanks.

  • Is there a way to force time can only be set to "Set date and time automatically"?

    I am using OS X 10.9 .5 , and here is what I want to do.
    When you click "Open Date & Time Preference", you will find an option that states "Set date and time automatically". And of course you can chose not to do that, and adjust the time.
    But can you remove that option? So your OS X is forced to chose the mode "Set date and time automatically" no matter what you do? (aka you can't adjust the time by yourself now.)
    Is that possible? Is there an app that can achieve this goal or can you do that at Terminal?
    Thanks in advance.

    There's a similar setting in iPhoto preferences (in iLife '08 versions and later), or in Image Capture preferences (if you're using iLife '06 or earlier). Check those settings as well.

  • How do I change the "Set Date and Time Automatically" server

    Is there a way to change System Preferences/Date & Time/Date & Time/Set date and time automatically from "Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)" to another time server instead?

    sig wrote:
    The menu has a drop down. But if you know the address of another time server I would think you can type it in.
    Yeah, that's not really a menu, but a "combo box", which is a combination of an edit field and pop-up menu. So you can choose from existing items or just type in whatever time server you want.
