Clock and Date Problems

I recently bought a second-hand G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Mac. I have found that whenever I turn it off and then turn it on again later the date returns to 1970 with the wrong time even though I locked the correct parameters in the system preferences - anuybody see or trouble shot this problem? any help appreciated

E63 Alarm Clock and Date problem

Power off E63, when alarm clock ring, power on. The system date change.This problem happen almost every Sat. and Mon.. FW version 102.21.001

in my opinion this is a media cache issue.
activate Mass Storage mode and connect your device to your PC.
using the Explorer of the PC, view the Storm's two harddrives and especially the hidden files. You should see a file named BBThumbs.dat in every folder that contains a media file. Delete all those BBThumbs.dat files.
those files are media cache, and they may sometimes get corrupt. Deleting them will force the Media Manager to recreate the cache entirely.

Clock and Date Reset

I have Macbook Pro Mid 2010 running on Lion 10.7.4
Every time I run out of battery and automatically shutdown, I get a message that my date is set to before 2001 and causing applications to behave irradically when I boot up for the first time.
I need to change the clock and date in the system pref.
This won't be happen if I shutdown the computer intentionally or make it sleep with enough battery.
Why this is happen? How to fix this issue?
It seems that the "safe deep sleep / hibernation" when the battery is running very2 low is not working.
Thank you,
Setiawan T.

Basically why I asked this question is :
On Snow Leopard, when the battery reaching its "danger zone", let's say I forget to turn my MBP off when I go out for lunch, It will automatically deep sleep / hibernate. So I don't experience this kind of problem.
However since I upgrade to Lion, I face this problem. It won't hibernate everytime the battery reach it's danger zone. Thus the clock and date are being reset.
Regards.

My clock and date keep going wrong

My clock and date keep going wrong on my laptop. I have reset both date and time numerous times and it doesn't stay accurate. Can someone tell me what the problem is please.

Hi
You can try couple of steps might help you to resolve your issue.
1) Please visit HP website and update the Bios on the unit check if the Time display correctly.
2) Incase your are comfortable reseating the CMOS/RTC battery this will take care of the issue.
Let us know how it goes!

I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.
If that sends a message, please note the exact wording.

Trouble with clock and date settings

Hi Folks,
Every time I start my G5 I get a message telling me to set the clock and date settings. I set them as requested and save them and put the little lock on them, but next time I start the computer the same message appears.
Would anybody be able to assist please?
Thanks in advance,
Eddie

You might need a new battery. Go to http://support.apple.com/manuals/ and find your exact model - the manual should show you where it's located and which type you need to buy. They're not expensive.

N81 clock and date reseting to 00:00 when restarti...

My clock and date reseting to 00:00 every time when switched off. Tried firmware update, factory settings or a different battery. Any idea?

When the Mac automatically goes in stand-by it should have a minimum of energy left for that tiny clock&date. It never happened with my 2010 Macbook pro, even plugging the power chord after minutes.

When i boot my ibook the clock and date keep changing?

when i boot my ibook the clock and date keep changing?

If the battery is dead (or not installed), this will happen. The solution is to keep it plugged into the adapter.
Also, resetting the PMU may help.

N97 clock and date and general widgets

how do i get rid of the clock and date, god this should be tiny and tucked out of the way........ or atleast be able to move it, it blocks every single picture i put up...... its the only thing that spoils it...... if there is a simple way of moving please let me know as i have gone through every option possible!!! apart from that it is a great phone.

I'd give AppleCare a call.

9402 DAQmx C: Write Clock and Data on two diferrent lines.

I am working with NI 9402 (4 I/O lines) and coding with DAQmx c (I AM NOT USING LABVIEW).
I am trying to output the the data signal by port0/line1. Period required of each bit: 1us.(1 MHz)
At the same time I am trying to output the clock signal by port0/line0. Period of each bit: 0,5us (2 MHz).
For that purpose I have tried to write the data on port0/line1 with DAQmxWriteDigitalLines() and use the function DAQmxCfgBurstHandshakingTimingExportClock() to export the clock to port0/line0.
DAQmxWriteDigitalLines(taskData,DATA_SIZE,1,30.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,NULL,NULL));
DAQmxCfgBurstHandshakingTimingExportClock(taskData,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps,2000000,1000.0,"cDAQ1Mod1/port0/line0",DAQmx_Val_ActiveHigh,DAQmx_Val_Low,DAQmx_Val_ActiveHigh));
When exectuing I get this error message:
DAQmx Error: Requested value is not a supported value for this property. The property value may be invalid because it conflicts with another property.
Property: DAQmx_SampTimingType
Requested Value: DAQmx_Val_BurstHandshake
You Can Select: DAQmx_Val_SampClk, DAQmx_Val_OnDemand
Task Name: taskData
Status Code: 200077
I guess that this mean that function DAQmxCfgBurstHandshakingTimingExportClock  is not supported on NI 9402..
As I have not been able to solve this problemI decided to use DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming() instead of DAQmxCfgBurstHandshakingTimingExportClock().
Since I will be using a SampClkTiming function I have created 2 separate tasks, with different clock rates for each one, and try to write separately the clock and the
data arrays in line0 and line1.
I am having troubles when I try to write both lines at the same time, this is the important part of the code I am using:
TaskHandle  taskData=0,taskClock=0;
              // DAQmx Configure Code
              DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("taskData",&taskData));
              DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("taskClock",&taskClock));
              DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateDOChan(taskClock,"cDAQ1Mod1/port0/line0","clkOut",DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine));
              DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateDOChan(taskData,"cDAQ1Mod1/port0/line1","",DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine));
              DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskData,NULL,1000000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps)); //to define the 1 micro secnd Time of bit.
              DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskClock,NULL,2000000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps));
//2000000 because I want the clock array to be sent twice faster than the data array
              // Set data & clock Arrays
Define the clock array:
              for(i=0;i<1000;i++)              {clockD[i]=i%2;} /'1' and '0'
Define data array:
              for(i=0;i<1000;i++)              {data[i]=1;} // or whatever random values..
              // Write digital lines
while(1)              {
                            DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxWriteDigitalLines(taskData,1000,1,30.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,NULL,NULL));
                            DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxWriteDigitalLines(taskClock,1000,1,30.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,clockD,NULL,NULL));
After executing this code I get the error:
DAQmx Error: NI Platform Services:  The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.
Task Name: taskClock
Status Code: 50103
Nevertheless, If I just use one of the DAQmxWriteDigitalLines function, the program works fine, and it send out the information ).
By the way I noticed that if I Write a digital line in a for loop instead of while(1), if the number of iterations of the for loop is low (i.e. 10), I get the same error even if I just write call the DAQmxWriteDigitalLines() function once.
Could these two errors be related ?
To sum up:
Could anyone give me a clue how two output a data signal and a clock signal  to 2 different ports with different clock rates for each signal ?
Thank you very much

One quick question about how you setup your timing:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskData,NULL,1000000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskData,NULL,1000000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps));
If you are only going to write 1000 finite samples, then why are you specifying the number of samples to write here as "DAQmx_Val_ContSamps" and not 1000? See: Sample Clock Timing Reference
Also, I gather what you are trying to do is output the DO task's sample clock on line0, at the same time that the DO task is running. If that's true, you should be able to export your sample clock using the export signal function. See: Export Signal Reference
Hope this helps.

IOS 7.02 iPhone 5 clock and Calendar Problems

The date displayed in the Calendar is always one day ahead of its day shown in the iPhone settings date. Also the clock for the various cities around the World are being incorrectly reflected. Seoul, Korea is shown 2.5 hours earlier than Shanghai time and Seoul is East of Shanghai and I believe it is only 1 hour ahead not 2.5 earlier as shown in iPhone. Never had these problems before update to iOS 7.02. The World Clock and calendar cannot be trusted any more and I hope Apple will correct soon!!!!

Hello there, Duke4u.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:

Nokia 6151 time and date problem

Recently I have reset my phone to Factory Setting, due to some problem that I'm having with my phone. Now, after resetting my phone to the factory setting, each time I off my phone (without removing the battery) and on it after that, I will have to update my phone date and time which before this I did not have to do that. Before i did the resetting,my phone will just on and no need fop me to do the time and date updating. If you ask me to on the auto update time,my service provider doesn't support this...how to set it back to its original state before i did the reset factory setting.

This is usually a symptom of a faulty auxilliary battery. The auxilliary is a small battery inside the phone and not the normal battery and can only be replaced by a Nokia Care Point. It should be replaced under warranty if your phone is still under warranty.

Time and date problems

Since I updated my iTouch to v 2.0, it's been having problems keeping the date and time. It usually reverts to 7 days ago and about 6 hours earlier. I had no problems when using v 1.1.4
Has anyone else had these problems?

In many cases, this occurs when you connect your iPod to the computer when iTunes has an incorrect backup date. I recently experienced this issue as well, and was able to fix it with little difficulty. Here's what I did.
1. Disconnect your iPod from the computer.
2. Make sure that the time and date on your computer is correct.
3a. In iTunes, go to Edit => Preferences => Syncing.
3b. You should see your device listed there, along with that same $#%& incorrect date and time. Select it and press "Remove Backup".
4. Close out of and reopen iTunes.
5. Reconnect your iPod. It will create a new backup to replace the one you just deleted, with the (hopefully) correct date and time, and your iPod's date and time will change to mirror that of your computer's.
I hope that helps!

Nokia E71 time and date problems.

I cant ever set the time and date of my nokia E71. Anytime i access the time and date settings, it just doesn't go through. Please help me out.

Hi Faces1,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
In order to fix this issue, I advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad.
Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
Then try to set the time and date again.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
