Clock change at startup

Any idea why my system clock wasn't right when I started up this morning?
-didn't make any system changes
-no one else used the laptop (computer in question)
I just turned it on in the morning like I normally do.
Some info:
-Airport hadn't automatically connected to work wi-fi like it normally does.
-I ran a MacScan yesterday and removed a couple trackers

How do I change my startup settings?

When I turn my computer on, about a dozen programs start up automatically -- which means I have to spend at least a minute closing or minimizing each one. How do I change my startup settings so that the programs only open manually, when I need them?
Thanks!

First go into Users and Groups, under your account, and see what login items you have. Remove any that might be causing the problem.
Second, when you reboot or shut down, make sure that you don't have reopen windows checked - this is likley what's causing your problem.
Third, check the applications that are opening via the Dock and make sure that you don't have Open at Login selected.
Any one of these could cause applications to start when you reboot or start up.

If you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac on startup?

if you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac. I can't get my mac to switch back to mac, it is like stuck in widows mode, I have tried holding down the options key upon start up and that did not fix it either.
Please help! Thank you so much!

The Apple drivers you install in Windows also puts a Startup Drive icon in the Task Bar. Choose that to change the startup disk back OS X.

sorry for digging up an old thread, but what was the problem?

Clock changes time randomly

Has any one had any issues with their clock changing time randomly on their iphone 5c? it will go up in time then back several times during the day. I am the only one in the house that this is happening to

I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image".

I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image". I have the SX40, Sx30 SX1 and all allow me to change the startup image and the sounds through MyCamera. When I opened MyCamera, it tells me that it won't work on my model. Does anyone know how to change the startup image? In the menu it gives me the choice to either have it on or off. Thanks so much!

Looks like Canon has changed what they ship with the newer cameras. My SX50 came with a disc & no paper manual. Because of that I searched the Canon site (USA site) & found the program set you need to download (according to what it says). Now there are different versions based on your operating system so for my search I've chosen Win 8.0 & the program file recommended is

Odd clock drift since summer time clock change

This is a weird one. Since the clocks changed back for daylight savings time (here in the UK, on Sunday morning from BST to GMT) I've been getting a strange error: while I'm editing a file in vi(1), occasionally when I come to save it tells me the file has changed on disk (it hasn't).
I thought I was going mad until a colleague said he's seen the same warnings on his machine in Eclipse. It seems to me like the clock is constantly drifting/being adjusted - I'm syncing with NTP to time.euro.apple.com, and I am seeing a lot of NTP updates in the logs:
system.log:Nov 2 19:18:26 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset +0.280424 s
system.log:Nov 2 20:26:10 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset -0.857206 s
system.log:Nov 2 20:26:10 mightymac ntpd[34353]: frequency error -589 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM
system.log:Nov 2 21:01:15 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset +0.974976 s
system.log:Nov 2 23:00:28 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset +0.557037 s
system.log:Nov 2 23:34:56 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset +0.960510 s
system.log:Nov 3 09:49:37 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset -1.004375 s
system.log:Nov 3 10:07:17 mightymac ntpd[34353]: time reset +0.491741 s
These are big jumps - a second, half a second, much more than I'd expect to see. Given it's happening on a colleagues machine we can rule out my clock battery or other local hardware/software issues, it's happening both when I'm at work and at home (on two different networks), and it's only happening since the summer time change on Sunday.
Has anyone else seen this? This is on 10.6.4, on two machines that have not been rebooted since the clocks changed.

I have a similar problem - when I start up my clock has advanced about 13 hours. It seems to have been doing this since daylight savings changed. It has the right time zone and I have unlinked synchronisation but it keeps happening even when it is locked.

I have a windows 7 dvd in the drive and the mac is set to launch from the dvd drive. How do I change the startup disk?

I have a windows 7 dvd in the drive and the mac is set to launch from the dvd drive. How do I change the startup disk?

Hold the option key at startup and when you get to the boot panel select your Mac OS drive.

You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk?

System Preferences: Startup Disk: Bootcamp (Windows 7 64): "You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk. The bless tool unable to set bootcamp disk"

I got the same problem, only with Win 7, but after a day's search on the net I found a solution. Something very simple and easy to use.
Open up Terminal and run the following command, where DISK NAME is the name of the disk you want to boot in. PS. use the quotes (") if you disk's name is longer than 2 words.
sudo bless -mount /Volumes/"DISK NAME" -setBoot
THIS WORKED FOR ME!!

Firewall clock change-- syslog message

But i cant find that on PIX/ASA
I know that i can log when user chage clock via comman prompt(logging commands) but i would like to log any change to system clock including when NTP server updates clock.

Filip ,
I guess it should be covered under notifications but you can try options.
ciscoasa(config)# logging buffered ?
configure mode commands/options:
<0-7> Enter syslog level (0 - 7)

CDX-GT565UP clock changes constantly

Had this player for some time. I listened to AM radio (news junkie) most of the time. Then I started listening to FM radio. Now the clock will constantly change time. I can set it to say12:15 then sometime later it will be some random time like 10:27 or 8:06 or 11:51. Anything but what it should be. It could take 10 minutes to change or 2 hours or it will change to 4 different times in 1 hour. There is no pattern that I can tell.
This time change does NOT occur when I'm listening to any source other than FM. It ONLY happens while listening to FM.
Any ideas ? ? ?
I'm old. I was trained on vacuum tubes. Everything I've worked on is either in the museum or on the History Channel.

You said...
This issue will occur if leads are not matched correctly with the car's accessory power connector. Make sure that they are matched correctly.
Exactly what leads are you referring to? Got a diagram?
To further clarify my problem further, the clock changes the time even thought I never turn off the car
Just today, during a 2 hour trip the clock changed 3 tmes.
I never turned off the car.

Changing my startup disk

Hi,
My startup disk is currently full. I have tried deleting stuff, but that hasn't really helped. However, I can see that my startup disk has been chosen as 'disk' - whereas there is another disk called 'macbook', which has twice as much capacity (which isn't even being used!!!).
So, first of all - can I change my startup disk now?
And secondly, will the stuff on my current startup disk be deleted in the process? I hope not !!!
Thank you

The plot thickens with the first question!
I tried to mount the 1st partition (the one that is red because of an unrecognized filesystem) and it says that it:
"Could not be mounted.
Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
Guess what's awesome.
nope, but close.
I can't run first aid on that partition because that option (along with verify disk, and the other 2) is grayed out.
Mega bummer/
Epic fail.
