Back to 03/01/1970

hello,
My iBook G4 returns to March 1st 1970.
It appens with and without battery connected.
The battery is the original.
I want to know if the battery is out ?
Or is there another battery on board to change, because it's out.
Maybe it's just my OS?
Thank you.

I tried one more time a few minutes ago, I'm confused:

  • Making textedit the default "doc" opening program

    I more often open doc files to read them than to do a major editing exercise, so I would like to make textedit the default program rather than Word. (When I want to work at the file I will open it from within word.) Is it posssible to do this? is there a place where associations are recorded?thanks LJ

    It might be worth mentioning that there's a long tradition on unix systems of using editors to just read files. When I first got involved with unix and networking back in the late 1970's, it was the norm to read email, BBs and newsgroups with your favorite editor. I do a lot of work via ssh inside Terminal to various remote machines, and I routinely use my favorite editor (vi) to read email and other files. That way, you can use all the editor's commands to wander around in a file. Then, if you find something that needs to be changed, you're in an editor and it's easy.
    I'd say that if you're thinking of it, do it. After a week or so, you'll know whether it's a good idea for your purposes. The previous reply told you how it works on OSX.

  • Setting computer time and date

    After removing the battery from my Powerbook G4 to send to the dealer for the battery exchange program I have had problems setting the computer date and time. It has reverted back to 1 January 1970. I have been into system preferences and changed the date to current date and time - have done it both manually and also ticked box set date and time automatically but when I shut computer down and open again, it reverts back to the date 1 January 1970. Can anyone help, please?

    Hi sanvan,
    Did you follow these instructions:
    To set the date and time manually:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Date & Time.
    Click the Date & Time button.
    Deselect the "Set date & time automatically" checkbox if it is selected.
    Click today's date on the calendar and drag the hands on the clock to the correct time.
    You can also set the date and time using the up and down arrows, or by typing over the current date or time.
    Click Time Zone and follow the onscreen instructions to choose the correct time zone for your geographic region.

  • Dates wrong in RAW files imported from Canon Rebel

    I recently imported a large number of pictures from my Canon Rebel via my iPod into iPhoto 6.02. There were a mix of JPEG and RAW files, the dates & times for the JPEGs were fine, the RAW files were wrong, some back at Dec 31 1970, others were 21 hours earlier than the JPEG files.
    The date and time on the camera were correct and still are.
    The same photos look OK in Adobe Elements 4.0, though I can see the same bad dates in part of the EXIF data reported by Adobe. Adobe shows me several versions of dates though and others are correct.
    Anyone seen this, know what's wrong?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

  • Kernal panic strike again (w/ reversed date)

    Kernal panic has come back again. This time more strange things happened. After my PB encountered the first kernal panic, I rebooted it. As soon as it got to the desktop, after 6-7 secs later, the computer shut down itself. So I restarted it again, when it got to the desktop, there was a message saying the date has been set back to 3/2006. So I clicked ok. After a few seconds later, it shut down by itself again. So I restarted again. Until now it works ok...
    The strange thing was when I checked the panic log, the date was actually set back to Jan 1, 1970.
    Here's the panic log:

    The one thing I can tell you is that Kernel Panics are more often then not caused by Incompatible or bad RAM.
    Many users add ram, to find out later that it is either Cheaper,Incompatible, or the wrong Ram.
    This can be isolated by removing one stick and try using your computer, if the issue continues switch to the one you removed and then take out the other.
    Remember running Tech Tool, or any of the other types of utilities will NOT Normally identify a stick of bad ram.
    Crucial is a good brand and stand behind there product.
    Always purchase ram from a company that offers a lifetime a 100% Guarntee.
    Cheers Don

  • Failing battery

    Gradually the battery on my 15-inch powerbook lasted for shorter and shorter amounts of time, till finally if I leave it unplugged for about a minute the thing shuts off and I need to connect it to turn it back on. Whenever this happens the date goes back to january 1st, 1970. I've been using the computer regardless for about a year now but now I've ordered a new battery. Today, though, a friend of mine told me that the exact same problem happened to her ibook, and we bought our laptops around the same time.
    I remember apple was recalling some powerbooks but they didn't include my serial number. I just wanna find out if this was a common problem. I'm kinda upset that I have to buy a new battery because of what could be a common defect.

    Hi Homer,
    Depending on usage, batts can last from a year or so up to 3-4 years . . . .

  • Any comments on iWoofer??

    I came across this company recently and saw the iWoofer, looks weird but could be a quality product. Just wondered if anyone tried it out yet?
    www.raindesigninc.com

    Bob, I've got to start by saying I'm biased against Bose products & have been ever since I used to sell the 901s back in the early 1970s - we called them Big Bass, Muddy Mids, NO Highs for the Masses back then. Did a lot of installs in bars & restaurants where they were perfect: background music for people who weren't listening anyway.
    Now that I've POed every Bose owner:
    The SoundDock again goes for "full" and "rich" sound at the expense of accuracy, and it has virtually no soundstage or depth; what's remarkable about the Hi-Fi is that it DOES. Plus what is there is very accurate; the high-end (treble) roll-off is a bit greater than I'd personally like (I love the shimmer of brushes on cymbals, for example), and while it's got good accurate bass it's not competitive with a quality full-size stereo. But given its size and price I think it's a gem.
    I also have Altec Lansing's inMotion iM7 and with its recent price cut I'd say it's a far better value than the SoundDock and somewhat smaller than the Hi-Fi but once again it has little or no sound staging depth or projection.
    As for something small I just picked up, at Radio Shack (I know!), the Edifier MP300 portable system and couldn't be much happier. Comes in a custom-fit case, plays loudly enough for a system you will be sitting right in front of, but best of all is amazingly accurate with a decent (considering its size) soundstage. At $79 I'd highly recommend this system for your travel needs.
    But for a second system, iPod based? The Hi-Fi trounces all others I have heard.
    Finally, and this may kill it for you, I do NOT think 192 VBR will make you very happy thru the Hi-Fi; being highly accurate it exposes any weaknesses and when I first heard it playing a 160 AAC song I wanted to puke. I mean it's a good news / bad news story: the good news is you CAN hear everything, even what's missing; the bad news is you WILL hear everything, even what's missing.

  • What & How Can I Delete From My L515

    I have the Satellite L515-S4925 Laptop.  I'm strictly using this laptop for DJing.  So, there are a lot of pre-loaded programs that I will never use.  I want to delete some of these programs, but past experiences have taught me that deleting some programs will effect other programs, or cause the computer to not work properly.  I thought of asking tech support, but I thought I ask here first.  Which programs can I delete safely?  And, can I delete them just using the Add/Uninstall Program through the Control Panel? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You would be surprised how many people literally delete programs instead of uninstalling them.  I have adopted the policy on forums to take a person at their word.  If they say they deleted a program I procede under that impression.  I figure anyone smart enough to uninstall a program should be intelligent enough to say that is what they did rather than say they deleted it.  I gave up trying to second guess or read anything into posts. 
    The complete specs for your system can be found on the UK Support Site here.  The list of what programs are installed are about 2/3's of the way down. 
    And yes, I said that one should NOT uninstall the Toshiba programs as it tends to cause problems doing so.  The only Toshiba labeled programs that can safely be uninstalled are the Toshiba DVD Player as long as you install a different DVD player program or you don't intend to watch DVDs, the Toshiba Disk Creator if you install a different burner program or don't intend to burn any DVDs or CDs, and the Toshiba Service Station which doesn't tend to work correctly anyway. 
    The rest of the Toshiba programs are UTILITIES rather than applications and tend to cause problems when they are uninstalled.  If one does a clean install of Windows from an actual Windows Install Disk (rather than using the recovery process to restore the system) they normally don't have a problem if they don't install all of them, but once they have been installed it's normally better to leave them installed. 
    Personally I like my system running properly.  I don't obsess over trivial system processes running in the background and use inconsequential amounts of ram or disk space.  I've found over the years (and I'm talking as someone whose computer usage goes back to the mid 1970's) that it's better to have a system run stable and allow me to get things done.  I don't want to spend all of my time tweaking it and then fighting it when it acts up.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • DEAD BATTERIES -AFTER 1 YEAR- TOO EXPENSIVE- ANY SOLUTIONS??

    I've had my powerbook just over one year (conveniently just enough to not be covered by "applecare" ) and the battery life has rappidly deteriorated over the last few months, and IS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD!!
    Ive noticed alot of other people have this same problem but....
    I can't afford to fork out another £90 just to get my powerbook functioning as it should do.
    I feel that this is ridiculously poor manufacturing for such an expensive item to be faulty just after a year. I'm begining to trust apple less and less, and I dread phoning up the helpline, as last time something went wrong, they were as much help as hitting your head against a wall and informed me that I had to pay £30 in order to ask them a question!!
    What kind of corporate scam are APPLE trying to pull here?/??
    Does anyone know if there is any way of getting my battery replaced for free, under statutory rights? I feel there deffinatly should be.....

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the usefull links.
    Im affraid I'm still having major problems with my powerbook!
    I've been using it with the battery removed on power addapter and a couple of times when Ive let it sleep, I have returned to it a couple of hours later and the fans are wiring away like crazy, the whole thing is realy hot and doesnt respond to wake up. The only thing I can do is take out the power supply and let it cool down.
    Then I remembered that the same overheating problem had occurred for the first time just before the battery started playing up. I discovered the PB overheated and unresponsive, and in a few days (maybe even hours) the battery was dead, first reading something like: (1%) , then just: ( x ) in the meter on the toolbar.
    Also, I've been reading about re-setting the PMU as you suggested, and it looks like a good idea, but for a couple of things. It says that it "will permanently remove a RAM disk, if present, and all of its contents."
    Now Im not too clued up about these things, as you may have guessed, but this sounds bad! Im now a bit confused as to what the RAM disk is for, as I originaly thought it helped proccessing or retriving info from the hard disc or something! But this suggests that it has important things stored on it...(?)
    Would you mind filling me in on what exactly this would mean for my files stored on my PB (if anything)?
    Another thing that occurred to me (which may not mean anything but...) I noticed in the artical it also said that resetting the PMU also resets the date and time (to 00:00 (GMT), 01 Jan 1970 for computers with Mac OS X). Since my battery died, each time I turn on the computer I am indeed taken strangly back to 1st January 1970 (which would be quite fun if my computer worked- ha ha..) I assumed this was just because there was no battery, so when the power went, the clock data resetted (like in a VCR or something).
    But cauld this be anything to do with the PMU? And if the PMU is to blame cauld it be causing the overheating issue aswell?
    MOst importantly, is it safe to reset it, or will I loose valuable files?
    If you cauld answer any these questions it would be very helpful! Im sorry that ive gone off on a bit of a rant, I just need my computer to work!
    Thanks very much for your help,
    james.

  • POWERBOOK G4 battery lasts for a MINUTE after 17months of use

    I bought my PB last November of 2004 and decided not to buy AppleCare. From then on, I tried to use the battery as often as I could. I did charged 100% as advised by Apple to NEWBIES like me. Few days ago, I started to experience a freaky thing about my PB - on battery, when it drains down approx. 80%, my PB just shuts off. Turning it on again, will mean that I have to adjust the date&time as it sets back to 04/01/1970 (9AM).
    Not knowing this could be a battery problem, I tried charging it fully and run it on battery. SAME SITUATION HAPPENED. I then started reading some posts, which by the way very helpful in terms of available tips; But they are just too many now to follow which one is the best to do.
    I started restarting my PMU, date&time needed to be set again, but still the battery behaves the same.
    I tried installing iBatt (trial version) and got the following diagnosis:
    Capacity: 1.217 Ah
    Voltage: 12.439 V
    Current Charge: 1.217 Ah
    % Charge: 100%
    State: Trickle
    Grade: D-
    The text belows reads that: MY BATTERY IS VERY WORN OUT AND IS TIME TO REPLACE IT.
    I am not really sure if these readings are true. Because everytime I tried using the battery, PB will shut off at approx 80% battery left. Plugging it to the main, will start charging the battery at approx. the same charge. Meaning there are still much battery charge but my PB does not recognize it? I am really confused.
    I dont want to throw this battery and want to solve this in the cheapest way as I can.
    At the moment I am trying to run the X-charge, but it seems I need more time to know the results.
    Coconut battery looks cool but I am using OS Panther.
    I couldn't however find a link to download Capacity meter.
    Are there any other appli for Panther to get enough and good diagnosis of my battery. Is it really time to change it?
    Please, any tiny bits of info would be appreciated.
    Grad student in Japan.

    Thank iFelix. You were my first buddy here.
    I will still try to spend a little of my time to diagnose the battery. By the way, are there cheaper batteries aside from what Apple offers? Or it is safer to get the Apple's.
    In addition to my story, since the X-charger that my battery is 100% charged and it has already stopped charging. I used and observe the battery while using my PB; After draining down to 79%, my PB shuts itself again - and same condition happened: back to the 1970 date&time, and when I plugged it, it started charging from 79%. Why not 0%?
    Please fill me in.
    Thanks

  • IPhone settings lost when the battery is flat

    Hi,
    I've had this problem 3 times by now.
    I leave my iPhone 4 on the desk at night when it is low battery. And next morning... of course the battery is flat because I didn't put it back to charge...
    Anyway, the problem comes when I get my battery back to 100% and I turn on my iPhone...
    I realize then that the calendar is back to 1st january 1970, and when I try to open any app that didn't come with the iOS 4.2.1, I just can't open it... It's like the iOs doesn't recognize the apps installed. So i have to synchronize back my iPhone iwth iTunes to get the apps running again...
    Does someone know a solution for this? (other than not letting the iphone battery go 0% nor synchronizing the apps each time I have this issue)

    Hi
    I've had the same issue about 4-5 times now as well. As soon as my iphone 4 runs out of battery and is not being charged for another few ours it 'forgets' its date and time settings and resets to 1/1/1970. I am really surprised Apple didn't put in a small extra battery to keep this basic stuff running indpendent of the main batterie's life!!
    What's really annoying about this though is that when I set the date again (the auto setting doens't work for some reason) I then have to OK reminders for events from the last months which atm takes ca 10-15 minutes of stupid tapping with no chance to get to any other parts of the OS!
    If anybody has a solution for this that be fantastic! Also if this is not supposed what should happen let me know too as my iPhone has been doing this pretty much from the start (got it only end of Nov 2010) - then I should get in touch with Apple I guess...
    Thanks!

  • My Phone Thinks it's January 1st, 1970. How Do I Bring it Back to the Future?

    I've never actually seen that movie, I'm sorry if I don't understand any references.
    Okay! So, here's the run-down. I have an LG Lucid 2. I am in England right now studying abroad for the year, and I have suspended my phone service, and have only been using wifi when it's available. When I got into the UK, my phone was still on USA Central time. I have searched the phone, and the manual, and an online version of the manual, and have not been able to find a way to change the date and time manually. Now, this ordinarily wouldn't have been a problem, but then I took my SIM card out (wanted to see if the SIM cards they've been giving away here would fit in my phone if I got it unlocked from Verizon and not have to get a new phone to use here, but I did not put the other SIM card into the phone) and put it back in and started the phone up. This is when it time-traveled. It started back up at 6:00pm, January 1st, 1970. So now, a lot of my apps aren't working because they're demanding I change my date and time, but when I go to do that, the only options I have are to change the date and time /format/. I just want to get my phone onto the right time. I even tried to hard reset it, but when I held both the power button and the volume button after turning it off, it came to a screen that said something like "Downloading Screen, Do Not Unplug Device Until Finished" or something like that. If I didn't touch it, it would stay like that. If I touched the power button like the manual says to do, nothing happened. I could only get one thing to happen - which is for it to start back up again with all of my apps and media and settings. So. That didn't work. Please help. Please. I am tearing my hair out over this and after waiting an hour, staring at the livechat button, willing it to turn on, I've had no luck.

    Just for asking can you post a screen shot of the Date and Time settings,  Like shown below"  press either the Lower volume and power or upper volume and power the 2 that snaps a screen shot once you've done that if ya know how to post a S.S.  post it to thread and that way it will give us a Look at your settings..
    Here's a Screen shot of my Droid Maxx with the Date and Time..

  • Lightroom 5.6 crashing, not able to import or back up changes

    I have been having issues with Lightroom 5.6 for few days now. I have been working from this Lightroom install for a year now problem free. The problem seems to happen when I try to import pictures. At first I thought it was my SD card but I copied the pictures to my desktop and was not able to import from the file on my desktop. It will start to download a few out of 400 and stop at 2 or 3 pictures then freeze. A message pops up that says "Lightroom encountered a problem and needs to quit" When i try to open Lightroom again I will get a message that says "The last time Lightroom ran, it shut down prematurely due to a problem reading the catalog. Lightroom must now check the catalog before proceeding." It will proceed to check integrity of the catalog then another message pops up saying it was repaired successfully. When I try to open, same stuff happens all over again.
    I have not moved any files around through the external hard drive and there are no images in the catalog that are "missing." So I'm a little confused as to why Lightroom suddenly keeps crashing.
    I am able to export images from the same catalog, I am able to edit pictures as I normally would,but I am unable to Back up the changes or import new files. I tried working from a different external hard drive and the same thing happens.
    Please help!!

    Are you able to import 450D raw files into LR5.5via USB connection and are you on Windows 7/8?
    I agree with your observations concerning SD vs CF card fragility, but they also have a limited number of insertions before failure.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Durability
    The newer Micro-USB receptacles are designed for up to 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal between the receptacle and plug, compared to 1,500 for the standard USB and 5,000 for the Mini-USB receptacle. This is accomplished by adding a locking device and by moving the leaf-spring connector from the jack to the plug, so that the most-stressed part is on the cable side of the connection. This change was made so that the connector on the less expensive cable would bear the most wear instead of the more expensive micro-USB device.
    All my Canon cameras have micro-USB connectors. With one (1) insertion and removal per day that equals 10,000 days, or about 27 years before end-of-life! SD and CF cards are also rated at ~10,000 insertion and removals, but more prone to damage from static electricity and handling due to the exposed contacts and fragility of CF card sockets.
    So there's no real advantage from the camera wear perspective to using a card reader. I'd say use whatever method is easiest for your workflow, but handle memory cards with care and avoid exposing them to static discharge.  Ground yourself to something metal before removing memory cards and inserting them into the card reader, especially in cold Winter months.
    BTW- I helped design one of the first semiconductor DRAM memory systems back in 1970. We killed more memory chips than I care to count before we discovered they were easily damaged by static electricity. Today's ICs have built-in protection, but you can still damage them with a big enough static ZAP!

  • IPhoto is placing photos in a folder entitled "1970"

    I'm setting up my new MBP, and some of the pictures I'm importing are being placed in a folder (within the iPhoto structure) named "1970".
    However the photos themselves show a creation date of Dec 24, 2002. Does anyone know what is going on???
    Thanks for any help.

    Jase:
    You might consider using iPhoto Library Manager to manage your multiple libraries. That's because if you use keywords and comments to any extend and want to move a photo(s) from one library to the other iPLM will let you do so and keep the keywords and comments. I use it to manage 10 libraries.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
