Clock and date

Hi. Everytime I shut down my lap top the time and date also stop. So each time I turn on my computer I have to go into the control panel to reset the date and time. Not sure why this is happening? It is each and every time.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) - do the date and time look correct here?
Can you also post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.

DP-K

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Customize menubar clock and date in NOT possible from 10.6

it was very simple in 10.5 but from 10.6 there is NO way to customize (without other programs) the date... for example: mar 15 apr @ 15:30:20
And I saw that is not possible to change a single point in colon (10.15.13 or 10:15:13)
No suggestion?

I've try but with SL is not possible to edit the file com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist. When you try with editor and save it it return as original and nothing changed in menubar...
The only thing that I desire is the possibility to change the date/clock as in Leopard 10.5

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.

ITouch clock and date?

Everytime I connect my iPod touch to my computer to sycronize, the clock always resets to May 3rd 2008, at 12:48 am. Everytime after that, it jumps 4 hours forward, keeping the same time. Not sure how to resolve this issues. It only happens when I connect my ipod to the computer to sycronize. (And I checked my date/time on my PC and it is the correct date/time)

Mine does the same, which is why I came on here ... searching for answers. I found this:

Gnome panel 3.2 - I am not able to see clock and date well

Hello all,
I am using Gnome in fallback -mode. I upgraded my gnome-panel to version 3.2 and after upgrading I am not able to see date and time information well. This information have shown a dark grey color, which is very difficult to see because background is black. If I put my mouse cursor on the time panel I am able to see infromation because background changes from black to white (timebox get activated). Is there any way to change font/foreground colour from grey to white? It is very irritating put mouse cursor on the date everytime when I want to see time. I tried to downgrade panel back to 3.0 version, but after that I wasn't able to see panel at the all.
-Br, Marko

Looks like I am not a lonely wolf with this problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691288
Maybe I just need to wait next version of gnome-panel
Strange here isn't anybody others at this site, who have this issue..

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
