Clock running 12 minutes slow

I have an iMac, 2.4GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.8. (iMac7,1 id number).
I'm told this is related to the CMOS Battery and that I can't change it myself.
I've tried all the other options: resetting and setting the time to do the automatic time checking function in preferences. It just keeps getting slower and slower.
Do I have to take the entire machine into the Apple store's "Genius" division for repair.

Again, like I said, it could have been an anomoly in the local tower and when it was time to update the time and the phone pinged the tower, it got the wrong time. I have one of those "atomic clocks" that gets it time from the National Bureau of Standards, and sometimes it can be off, but usually it is an odd number of mintues, or dates are off. I will just usually set the time manually and the next automatic setting gets it right.

  • Clock running 10 minutes slow

    Now what?

    BrunoDB wrotes:
    I recently bought a new Lumia 620. Soon I noticed that the clock is to slow. Every day the clock  is running 10 to15 minutes behind. After a few days the phone is running for more than an hour behind. I have installed the latest available update.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Can you check if the auto time update is turned on by going to Settings > Date+time? If the answer is yes then try to turn it off and set the clock to manual. You can also check if your phone is set to the correct time zone.

    Do you have the latest software installed on the phone? Check your phone updates by going to Settings > Phone updates. If your phone is alreay up to date, performing a reset might be of help. However, this will delete all your data so backup is required. See this link for more info about backing up your files. To perform a reset go to Settings > About  > Reset your phone.

  • FP-2000 clock is 15 minutes slow per day

    My FP-2000 system clock is about 15 minutes slow per day. How come?
    Is it possible to adjust it?
    Because it is running stand-alone it cannot be adjusted remotely. It is only connected to a PC every once in a while.
    Regards,
    Gerwim

    Hello Gerwim,
    The clock on the FP-2000 has normaly an accuracy of about +/- 1min/Month. However the process on the controller that is running the clock is a low priority process. When you controller has higher priority tasks to perform, which take a lot of processing power, it can happen that the clock will get behind more then usual. When a host computer is connected to the system the controller will check with the host computer (its time server) if the clock is running correctly and adjust it when needed. At Stand-Alone Base this timeserver is not available.
    There is a VI under: Real-Time>>RT Utilities which is called RT Set Date and Time which can be used to set the date and time on the controller. The problem is however that you would need a reference to set your clock to. If the amount of time the clock runs behind every day is pretty consistend maybe you can use this VI to adjust the clock with a certain amount of minutes every now and then. Ofcourse you still will not have a very accurate clock setting but still more accurate as it was. The only other option you would have is a permanent time-server connected to the FP controller. 
    Hope this helps,

  • Clock runs 6 minutes behind after 4.3 download

    I have a lot of the same issues that everyone has with their G3 since 4.3; poor battery life, iffy WiFi connection, and flaky connection with the Bluetooth in my Prius - There is another issue with my G3 that since the 4.3 download that I have not seen anyone make reference to. 
    The day after I did the 4.3 download, I happened to notice that the clock on the phone was 6 minutes behind the clock in my bedroom.  I figured that the alarm clock was fast, but when I checked the phone against my atomic clock, I realized that the Network time on my phone was indeed 6 minutes behind.
    Thinking that the automatic time had somehow been disabled with the update, I went to Settings > Date and time > Automatic date and time / Use network-provided time, and found the that the box was checked; so I unchecked and rechecked; no change.  Then I unchecked and manually set the correct time; but when I re-checked the box; it instantly went back to being 6 minutes behind. 
    Rebooting did correct the time, until a few days later when it happened again.  This has happened to me several times since, and it is always 6 minutes slow; never 5 minutes, never 7 minutes....  
    Has anyone else had issues with their clock after downloading 4.3? 

        Hi there, cellsell2005! Gosh, that clock readout you're seeing is an unusual issue. I'd like to know more about it so that I can help you solve it. Please use these steps for following my handle (DionM_VZW) so that we can engage in direct messaging: http://vz.to/1gBiqkv Thanks!

  • 2nd Gen iPod touch clock loses eight minutes

    I set the time on my touch to the correct time. It stays correct for a while, but sometime over the next day, I discover that the clock is eight minutes slow. Clearly not a time zone or syncing thing (my MBP's clock is accurate). What else could it be? Any ideas?

    I don't know what is causing it but I would restart it (hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the slider switch and turn it off) or reset it (hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo).
    Either one of those activities will most likely fix it. However, if they do not, plug it in to iTunes and restore it.

  • LUMIA 800 - Clock running slow!

    Hi there,
    I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 running on Optus - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it, and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time. **bleep** about a fortnight of setting it the time reads over 10 minutes behind where it should be. I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically' or similar feature on the Lumia 800. 
    **bleep** a quick Google search, the only other mention I found similar to this problem was on another Nokia thread, of people on 3 UK complaining that their clock was actually running too fast: 
    /t5/Nokia-with-Windows-Phone/On-board-clock-waaay-fast-Lumia-800/td-p/1334499
    Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a solution to their problem
    For the record my phone was purchased through Optus, and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.
    Can anyone please help me? 

    Hi all, sorry for the delay getting back to you - for the record, I'll second the above replies and say that there's definitely no option to set time automatically on my Lumia 800..
    Strangely enough, my issue resolved itself after a few months and I have no idea what fixed it!
    On perhaps an unrelated note, for a period of about a month or two, my phone would routinely notify me about a new software update that was available. I connected my phone to the computer and updated the software, only for it to tell me a few days later that another update was available. After a couple of weeks of this, I looked into the update version and found it was the same update every time. Once again, this makes no sense to me whatsoever.
    I have to say that I was really excited when I bought the Lumia 800, thinking that Microsoft (and Nokia) would bend over backwards to support the few customers that made the switch from iPhones etc. to such a fledgling platform, but I've since found that after-sales support has been pretty poor (evidenced in part by the lack of official response to this thread). I'm also really disappointed that Microsoft have essentially ditched their most loyal customers by upgrading to Windows Phone 8 without support for 7.5 users. Instead we've been waiting in the dark for the 7.8 update that still hasn't come out yet..
    Apologies for the rant, thanks to the above users for trying to help me out - hope your phone issues resolve themselves also!

  • Clock running slow on iPad

    The clock on my iPad is running about 12 minutes slow yet clocks running in apps are at the correct time. Any ideas?

    How slow? Many users have reported hours or days ahead or behind on iOS4. I have read on other posts that doing a full restore fixes the problem. Here is how:
    To do a full restore:
    - Start iTunes and plug in your device.
    - Under Devices, click on your device.
    - On the Summary page there are two buttons: 'Check for Update' and 'Restore'.
    - Click Restore.
    - The system will back up your device, then reset it to factory specs, then restore from the backup. This takes QUITE a while, depending on how much stuff you have on there.
    Doing this seems to have solved the problem for me. I haven't had it randomly change the time in the 6 days since I posted my message.

  • Clock runs slow - Lumia 800

    I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it (3 months ago), and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time.
     I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically'.
    For the record my phone was purchased through Virgin (Optus network), and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.

    @DarkX
    You don't say whether your Lumia 800 is network branded or not and if provider does not support "network time" this feature may be absent.
    There are also problems in the way the phone gets the time which is probably using NITZ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NITZ) so device may easily be 3 - 4 minutes off satellite time.

  • STRANGE!!! Windows Xp clock running fast....

    Hi guys. Youve helped me in the past so I hope you can help me again!
    My MSI system has been running solid as a rock for about 1and1/2years now. Very happy with it. untill now..
    It all started after I installed a bluetooth dongle (or so i though). I suddently realised that my xp clock was running fast about 10seconds every minute. I though this is weird so did the obvious things... restarted comp checked bios which was running fine. It is only when I get into windows that it starts to run fast. I uninstalled the bluetooth software thinking it was the culprit but obvoisuly wasnt. I then decided it was about time that i reformatted again anyway so reformatted and sure enough it fixed the problem, proving to me that it is a software problem not a hardware. Then, after about 4 months of my new reformatted system being up and running it suddenly has started doing it again. I havent even installed the bluetooth software or anything that is obviouslty the problem. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but my firewire card has also stopped working for somereason. I replaced it with a new one and that doesnt work either!
    Any ideas anyone, ive searched the whole forum and internet and it doesnt seem like a common problem!
    Many thanks
    Jon.

    Hello hurndall:
    I see you are running XP/SP2 with all patches.  Besides that, are you running any third party software that monitors communication?  Looking at this from the paranoid perspective, have you run a spyware/malware sweep of your system?
    The Windows Time service that you stopped is used to synchronize time across a network and does not directly control your RTC.  Unless systems on your network are using it there will be no effect, so you can probably leave it stopped.
    Regarding your fast clock problem, I have had this type of problem on PC platforms that were using the RTC interrupt to start background tasks such as data logging or other hardware.  The hardware RTC clock uses IRQ 8; old MS-DOS software would modify the code associated with this interrupt to give pseudo-real time operation to specific processes.  As I recall there is/was a timer that pinged this IRQ at 13.8 ms intervals and so kept the clock going.  Although the usual symptom in these cases was a clock running SLOW, not fast, it is possible to have a clock run fast due to a bug in the added software.
    You can do a rudimentary check on your system by starting Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - View - Resources By Connection - IRQ
    Look at IRQ 8 - it should only be associated with the RTC function.
    This is probably not going to get you anywhere but it is something that should be checked anyway.
    Looking at your problem from the other direction, it seems that your system has issues with communication devices - Bluetooth, FireWire and now Remote Login.  I'm not sure how you are communicating with your system remotely (network - i.e., ethernet or dial-up, i.e., modem), but you might want to reinstall/update the drivers associated with your Ethernet or Modem hardware.   Since the problem seems to go away on a reinstall, which refreshes all these drivers, you might want to try this.  It's a lot simpler than a reinstall.
    The Remote Login Service installs and/or starts a number of services that depend on the svchost.exe module.  It seems unlikely that there is a problem there but you might want to make sure that svchost.exe is truly the SP2 version or whatever is the most recent.  I don't know if any patches since SP2 have modified it.  You could look at another XP system can check the properties of svchost.exe. 
    My system reports
    File Version 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
    Product Version 5.1.2600.2180
    for svchost.exe
    Sorry I can't give you any more specific help.
    Good luck,

  • Query runs every minute from B1 client - read B1 log file

    Hi all,
    We found this query has been run every minute from B1 client. It slows down the system, as we have over 100,000 records in table OCLG - activities. How do we stop this query to be run from B1 client. Also, anyone know what is the number for Duration in B1 log file, does the number mean CPU time? We got Duration=3581 for this query. but it takes about 10-15 seconds to run the same query from SQL 2005 management studio. Any idea?

  • Tutorial project runs very very slow.

    Hello,
    I have just started to work with OAFramework and I am trying to execute the tutorial project. After configurating all my enviroment I am able to run properly this project with "Run > Run test_fwktutorial.jsp" but the problem is that it runs very very slow. It takes at least 5 minutes to load the "Hello World!" and the same time to load the other pages.
    We work with Patch Jdeveloper 5455514 and our system is Oracle Applications 11.5.10 RUP4.
    We are connected to our system via a VPN client. Could it be the reason for this poor performance or are there other things I shoud have to modify?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Xavier

    Hi Xavier,
    There can be multiple reasons why the Jdeveloper is very slow. VPN might be one of them. Try accessing the Oracle Applications using the VPN connectivity and observe the speed. Try to do some transaction and notice whether database is slow or not. You can also double click the jpx file and check for the db connectivity by clicking on 'Test Connection' and see how much time it takes. The other reasons why the Jdeveloper is slow might be because you have multiple projects opened. You can also try to close the Jdeveloper session and restart again by deleting the myclasses and systems folder.
    See whether one of these approaches help.
    Thanks

  • Clock runs fast

    I just got my new Mac Pro (3.0) and I've found the clock runs fast, easily slipping an hour every day. Even when I have it set to use Apple's time servers, I've found that the clock easily slips several minutes into the future.
    1) Can I fix this somehow?
    2) Can I get "set date and time automatically" to update more frequently?
    Thanks!

    Thomas-
    Are you running Leopard Server? I am, and I think I've narrowed it down to that.
    On a separate, newly formatted drive, I created two partitions. On one, I installed Server. Bare bones, no updates, etc. On the other, I installed Client. End result? Server runs fast (4 s/m), Client runs fine. Client also runs fine on my MacBook. When I make a copy of my Server drive to my MacBook (Restore from Disk Utility), I have no time loss.
    So, it seems it's combination of software and hardware (in my case). I really hope you're running Server so I can report this bug, somehow.

  • The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, although it is set that way, why is the time 10 minutes slow

    The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, althought it is set that way. Why does it not update the time and why is it 10 minutes slow?

    Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
    I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts.  I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
    I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could.  I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
    I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.
