Computer clock will not auto update

My clock will not update time. Keeps losing time daily. I can go in and it updates but not automatically.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Thanks for help.

Back up all data.
If you're running "iStat Menus," disable or remove it, then log out and log back in. Otherwise continue as below.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the file you moved. You may need to recreate some of your settings for optional menu-bar items.

After updating with Security Update 2010-001, Quicken will not auto update. Auto update function in Preferences are also inop. Numerous posts in Macbook discussions about similar problems with other apps.

Installed Security Update 2012-001. Now Quicken will not auto save and the auto save function in Preferences cannot be changed. There are numerous similar comments in the Macbook discussions about other apps. Come on, Apple, we need some help out here!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Computer Clock will not hold setting

After taking my MBP into the genius bar to have a hardware issue fixed the machine clock will not stay set. Every time I restart I have to reset my machine.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the error language:
+Your computer's clock is set to a date before Jane 1, 2008. This may cause soem applications to behave erratically. To set the clock manually, open Date & Tome preferences. For more information. choose Help > Mac Help+
I am forced to set manually each time I reset.

The clock in a laptop is kept alive by the laptop battery. So, if it is being reset, it seems something is wrong with the power subsystem. You might try going back to the genius bar with that.
Otherwise, you could also try [Resetting the SMC|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964].

Computer name does not auto update in VMM console

The computer name is not updating in VMM console after the following.
- Create VM from scratch, install VM additions, name "VM1"
- Shutdown VM
- Clone "VM1"
- Sysprep clone
- Rename clone to "VM2"
VMM does not recognize the new name even after a few VM reboots. I need to manually right click the VM and select refresh to get the new name to display.
Typically this wouldn't be a problem, but it causes an issue when trying to Remote Desktop from VMM console or from App Controller, the old name is still referenced and therefore tries to remote desktop into old name instead of the new name.
Anyone encounter this?

Welcome to the discussions! (post #1 and all)
<pre>hostname -s</pre>
This command is the best way to get the short name of the machine with the DNS suffix stripped away.
Do make sure you click edit in the sharing system preferences to make sure the Local Hostname is truly set and not using the dynamic global host name.
I recall having to change this a while back and am not sure what the default state is for the fields in the Edit... dialog.

Lumia 920 clock will not auto adjust to operator t...

I have a 920 Lumia and the date / time function is set to ON for 'set automatically'.
I just travelled from the UK to Belguin and the clock updated to the Belgian time zone and time.
I have been back two days in the UK and it's still stuck on Belgian time, I have turned it on and back off a few times but it's still the same.
I travel to Europe a lot and would like this function to work, it did this no problem on my previuos N8 (just about the only thing that did work on it..... )
Thanks for any responses.

Thought so. On orange the automatic time feature used to work but since they became EE it either doesn't work or only works intermittently. I believe they may have dropped support for the feature, or it only works when connected to orange transmitters, not the t-mobile ones. Forcing it to pick up an orange 2G signal may help but not totally sure.
Sadly it's a network issue, not a hardware issue.

Well first you have to figure out what is wrong with the machine and solve that problem first.
Your post is very vague on what occured, and there are many types of "crashes" it really depends upon what see on the screen and what the hardware does, we can't see it to tell you, so you have to tell us.
I suggest you run through these user tips and provide more information about your hardware.

A Safe Mode boot may help ...

A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

My computer will not auto-detect my shuffle

Got shuffles for my kids for easter, plued one in and had o problems downloading songs to it. The next shuffle that we pluged into our smae computer will not auto detect. Computer says it is hooked up but nothing comes up on itunes? Anyone have any ideas

Take a look at this article

and see if changing the drive letter of one of the iPod resolved the problem.

Clock will not display, Eject button not working

Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Ryan,
I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

Plug-Ins not auto-updating, but auto update is set.

I wanted to warn others about this problem.
I read an earlier answer where someone said that Plug-Ins won't auto-update, perhaps that is correct, but if Plug-Ins don't auto-update, why is there an auto-update feature?
(Tools-AddOns-Updated Automatically & Check for Updates both don't catch that plug-ins are out of date).
I'm not talking about random obscure programs, this is the Java Platform & Toolkit. Shouldn't the Add-Ons options clearly state that they don't automatically update or check for updates?
Fortunately I have decent anti-virus software, but I didn't discover this until I picked up a Trojan and started reviewing every single program on my computer to see if I had missed any updates.

Thanks, I just wanted to warn others if they got confused, the way the options are set up it is a little confusing for us who aren't familiar with the difference between Addons & Plugins, it looks like you are choosing an Auto-Update for the Plugins too.
I also figured out that the Java program is not auto-updating even though I set the auto-update feature on the program itself (which has nothing to do with any Firefox issues), so I will have to remember to check their support and also manually check the program pretty often.

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Shuffle Will Not Load, Update or Restore.

Shuffle Will Not Load, Update or Restore on my PC. I get error messages or it freezes when ever I try. I have tried re-installing i-Tunes, I have tried re-installing an earlier version of i-Tunes, I even tried updating my USB driver. The error messages I get are 1451, and -50. We have two shuffles and both of them are getting the same errors. Please Help!!
PC Windows XP

Here is your fix, this is a post from Albertech842 in another forum. It worked for me in Windows. I'm going to post it as a new topic, because SO many people have this problem and I spent HOURS trying to fix this:
Alright, this is what I did, my only fix. Disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then go to "start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click stop service." Then connect the ipod and it should show up in my computer. Format it so all content is gone. Next, go back to "start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click Start service." This should have the service running again. Open iTunes and connect the shuffle. When it says to automatically fill it (the window that pops up) dont unclick it, proceed so the shuffle autofills. Before it stops, quickly go to the settings tab. Then, scroll down to where it says "enable disk use". select that and hit apply. Now, you manually eject the iPod and you can manage your music! I had the same problem as you and this eliminated the problem! Hope this helped.

TS3899 maybe you can help....I can receive mail fine, but when I open or delete from my iphone or computer, it will not sync....so I have 600 emails on my iphone and 100 on my computer..I have looked at everything I can think of

maybe you can help....I can receive mail fine, but when I open or delete emails from my iphone or computer, it will not sync with each other....so I have 600 emails on my iphone and 100 on my computer..I have looked at everything I can think of

I don't know about the systems, but is your phone on wireless and your other device on wireless? Then I think they would mutually update.
Howerver the previous response from ckuan sounds much more informed so I would check that out.
