Clock of my G550 66Y loses time

Hello, I have bought my notebook in december. My problem is that the clock loses time... only the time, not the date... I have configured the regional settings right... I don't know what is happening... I don't think it might be the battery... it only has three months! Hope someone can help me. Thanks!!!

Yes, sounds like a link between your time zone setting
and computer losing 3 hrs. You have Vista?
Make sure you have all windows updates.
Uncheck the Internet time syncronization in the Date and Time applet.
One suggestion I found from hp:
Start Windows in Safe Mode (Keep tapping F8 on boot and choose Safe Mode in menu)
Go to Device Manager
Find System CMOS/Real Time Clock under System Devices
Uninstall it
Restart and clock driver will re-install

X230 clock slowly loses time

My X230 is still under warranty but for the past 6 months or so, the clock slowly loses time, maybe 1-3 minutes per week. Just was 10 minutes late for a conference call because the clock said it was 2:59 when it was actually 3:11. I change it back then over time it slowly loses time again. Is there a battery inside or something that I can change myself or any idea what might cause this?

I've had the same problem, clock looses a couple of minutes each week. Running windows8. I'm about to switch to Linux to see if the problem will go away. If not I will send it in for service.

HP DV3-2350el - system clock loses time

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion DV3-2350el, just returned back from a repair by HP in warranty.
Now I've noticed that the system clock loses time when the notebook is off.
I think it should be a CMOS battery issue, but I haven't found any information about it.

Hi,
How old is your machine ? Normally a CMOS battery can last for 4 or 5 years. Anyway, you may want to try yourself or bring it back to the repairer to reseat the CMOS battery. You can download this manual, page 4-22 shows you how to work with the RTC (or CMOS) battery.

Computer running LabView loses time

Running LabView VI on HP Brio pc
Computer clock loses time non-linearly
e.g. after 24 hours lost 5 mins, after 36
lost 20mins. Time stamped log file is therefore wrong.
Happens with both Win95 or Win98 OS but worse on Win95.
The VI is reading data from instruments on serial port
and also a GPIB interface. Very slow
logging though (1 reading/min over many days).
Does this look like a hardware or software issue? Has anyone ever experienced this?
Help appreciated

Mine does too - and I can loose an hour in a day! I posted it on
a microsoft newsgroup and they explained that it was my problem,
my application was too cpu bound to service the time interupt
requests. There is no need to reset the time, just reboot. Windows
it seems only reads the time from the BIOS once at startup.
Call it a feature...?
I call it a bug!

Clock UI control and daylight saving time.

Hi,
We have a customer that has several sites around the world.
In a VC-model I like to use the Clock UI control to display the times of the different sites.
This can be done by setting the time zone in the control properties.
A long ago we have introduced daylight saving time.
It seems that the clock control does not do anything with this ?
How can I change the time zone when the model is running ?
Can it be done by an expression and how ?
There is also a problem of the country, some have DST, others dont.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_around_the_world
Example:
I have 2 clocks and the end-user lives in Amsterdam:
Amsterdam, time zone = GMT + 1
Santiago, time zone = GMT 4
During the winter in Amsterdam it is summer in Santiago and has daylight saving so the time in Santiago should be GMT 3 in stead of GMT -4.

With the current version of VC / flash, it is not possible to display the correct time all the year 'round.
If you only want to show the (user) current time then you can use this VC clock object.
If you need to show clocks from different cities around the world, than its better NOT to use the VC clock.
Because you can not define the country and city in the clock properties, that determine the use of DST, it will not always show the correct (default / DST) time.
Solution:
Add a HTLM-view to your model with a links to a web clock.
Nice (free !) clocks can be found (and customized) on <a href="http://www.worldtimeserver.com/clocks/wtsclock001.aspx">worldtimeserver.com</a> or <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/free.html">timeanddate.com</a> .

For the city Santiago (Chile) the URL =

Mac loses Time Capsule (3TB, MD033) disk all the time

Hello! Strange problem - my OS X devices (iMac 2012 27* and MacBook Retina 13 2013) lose Time Capsule 3TB disk all the time.
To be more precise: in finder when I click AirPort I have a "Connecting..." rolling all the time.
2-3 minutes pass and iMac connects OK. Only to lose this disk again some time later.
I would blame malfunctioning TC but I replaced it already to absolutely new one and have EXACTLY the same problems.
The most amusing - is that physically connection is perfect. If you opened file from this disk (for example, watching the film, or copying the file from or to it) it NEVER fails. you watch the film from TC disk dor few hours and everything is fine. Besides, my PC connected to the same TC NEVER loses connection. But iMac (wire connection) and MacBook - have same symptoms.
Furthermore - Time Machine (both on iMac or MacBook) NEVER loses this disk and makes a backup even if I cannot access this disk from Finder.
And one more strange thing - the Time Machine WAS losing disk, before upgrade to 10.10.1 (from 10.10). But after installing 10.10.1 the problem was gone from Time Machine but remained for Finder.
I wonder - what's wrong with it? Is seems so unlikely for apple to have such bugs.

Oh you are quite wrong.. Apple have heaps and heaps of network bugs.. Yosemite went a bridge too far with the wireless handoff to iOS.. that causes mayhem.. but there are other issues as well.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

My iphone 5 clock is not working properly. I've tried to reset it, and update the clock automatically and manually, and the time is still off. My alarms aren't working because of this, and I need my phone to work properly.

Automatic time is a function of your Wireless carrier. Your post indicates that your iPhone (5 or 5c) is running iOS 7.0.6. The current version is 7.1.1. You might try updating your device to the current iOS version.

Timer loses time

When you set a timer for your phone, the timer will always lose the timer so you never know how much time you have left on your timer. It eventually lets you know that the timer is up with a notification (either sound or vibration) but still, I have to wonder if it's accurate since it's losing the timer.

The HP LA2205 and LA2306 monitors here lose time too.I've got to do: Main Menu, Management, Sleep Timer, Set Current Time.every couple of days, manually, to synch the correct time. What's up with these monitors?

Is it possible to disable the autodimm function, so that the clock can be displayed all the time?

Is it possible to disable the auto dim function, so that the clock can be displayed all the time?

At this time it is not possible. Sorry.
Being able to do so would dramatically decrease your iPod's battery life between charges.

G570 - loses time

This laptop sat around unused for the last two years. Now it loses time, overnight it will lose 8-12 hours. I have tried updating bios - which also have the wrong time when this happens. I have uninstalled/reinstalled system CMOS and RTC in Device Manager. I would like to just swap out the CMOS battery, however I cannot find documentation as to the location of this battery. Anyone know where I can get this? Thanks
Solved!

Clock Consistency Loses Time After Mountain Lion

Hello,
Its been awhile since mountain lion and this problem has persisted throughout a few updates my clock on my macbook pro 17 Early 2011 is consistently losing time since I upgraded by several hours. I have done a PRAM reset and repaired disk permsions that whole drill, this was a problem I saw in Windows alot but never thought I would see it in a Mac but hey this computer has been a nightmare since I bought it and everyone passed the buck, so in ending is this a known issue thats being worked on? or is it time to take the computer into mac store yet again?

No, it's not a known issue. First I heard of it, any.
If you reset pram and it didn't help, you need to take it in.
If you have a long record of the problems and repairs done, I'd call Customer relations 800-767-2775
and ask for a replacement.

WinXP Clock Loses Time; Will Re-Sync Cause Problems?

We've recently upgraded to LabView7.1, and have recently noticed that our system clock is losing time at a much greater rate than it has in the past. The clock can be seen hanging every few seconds in the "Date and Time Properties" view where the date and time options of the computer can be set.
I may be incorrect, but I believe the system is unable to keep proper time due to the CPU intensive nature of our data logging VI's. We've decreased the data sample rates and resolution, as well as the displayed plotting rates of our collected data. This hasn't helped the problem. The plot of our CPU performance against time can be seen in Windows Task Manager, and our performance demonstrates a saw-tooth like curve o
f CPU usage, periodically saturating at 100% for a few seconds.
I'm interested in knowing if there is anything I can do to get my system keeping time correctly without any other time program intervention.
If I must incorporate the use of another time synchronization program like Thinking Man Software's Dimension 4 v5.0, how much risk am I running by having this extraneous program resynchronizing my clock while I'm logging data and executing VI's with time dependent loops?

It means that your VI uses all the ressources of your system.
This kind of phenomenon can occur when the system is overloaded with loops that are NOT timed.
If you time your loops (either with "timed loops" or "wait.vi" or "wait until next ms.vi")this should stop

The clock on my Sony car radio loses time

The clock on my Sony car radio Model # CDX-GT56UIW loses 7 minutes a day. Is there a way to fix this without resetting it daily?

Hi Sunsetswest,
Setting the clock
The clock uses a 12-hour digital indication.
1. Press and hold the select button.
The setup display appears.
2. Rotate the control dial until “CLOCKADJ”
appears, then press it.
The hour indication flashes.
3. Rotate the control dial to set the hour
and minute.
To move the digital indication, press
[SEEK] –/+.
4. After setting the minute, press the
select button.
The setup is complete and the clock
starts.
To display the clock, press [DSPL].
Thanks.

IPad clock loses time

My iPad clock began losing time last week. I probably had a warranty then.

If you search this forum for loosing AND time you will find several threads discussing iPads loosing time. Those might provide some help.
