Computer time right, applications 4 hours fast

Hi,
This one has been boggling me for awhile.
System prefs show correct time, including time zone. But my email client, Postbox, has all mail stamped four hours into the future. In addition my Fitbit dashboard in Chrome and Safari think it's four hours later.
In searching for a solution, I've run across this page: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support which suggests the problem may result from a custom time format setting. However, I have no custom settings.
I've also tried resetting the NVRAM, though I doubted this would work, as the computer time is correct.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Date always 1 hour fast

I am trying to get the current date and time in my application. I am able to do this using the code below.
The problem is that it works in jdk1.2.2 but when I use
1.3 (which is the runtime the end user will have) the time is always 1 hour fast.
//Use the default timezone & locale
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date aDatey = cal.getTime();
System.out.println("Calendar date is \t\t" + aDatey);
//Use date constructor
Date tempDate = new Date();
System.out.println("\n\nDate constuctor's date is \t" + tempDate);
//Check if the default TimeZone is correct
TimeZone t = TimeZone.getDefault();
System.out.println("\n\nDefault timezone is " + t.getID());
boolean b = t.inDaylightTime(aDatey);
if (b)
System.out.println("\n\nTimezone IS in daylight savings time");
else
System.out.println("\n\nTimezone Is NOT in daylight savings time");Java is using the correct TimeZone, but inDaylightTime always returns true, even during the winter months!
As I said above, this is not a problem in 1.2.2 (everything works)
To make things a bit more interesting during the summer moths inDaylightTime returns true, but the time is correct (not 1 hour fast)
I can't see any logic in what's happening, any ideas/experiences would be appreciated
Thanks!

Actually, it looks like this is bug 4177450
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4177450.html
The interesting thing is that I'm running this under JDK 1.3, and it claims to be fixed in 1.2 FCS M. Hmm.
Here's a sample program with output:
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class DateTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Running Date Test");
Date d = new Date();
System.out.println("Date = "+d);
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL,DateFormat.FULL);
System.out.println("DF = "+df.format(d));
Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
System.out.println("Locale = "+l);
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
System.out.println("TimeZone = "+tz);
System.out.println("TZ Name = "+tz.getDisplayName());
tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
System.out.println("\nChanging TZ to America/LA");
System.out.println("TimeZone = "+tz);
TimeZone.setDefault(tz);
System.out.println("Date = "+d);

My computer's automatic clock is six hours fast

Ever since I updated to Leopard, my computer's automatic clock setting has been 6 hours faster than my actual time. I have it set in my region everywhere I can find it, anyone have a clue what could be wrong?

Hi Mr.Mac
Go to: "Apple / System Preferences / Date & Time / Date & Time" and uncheck the box "Set date & time automatically" them set the current time.

If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

Time is an hour fast

Last night I noticed my iPhone screen said it was 8pm when it was really 7pm. I checked the Clock app and Cuppertino time (I live in Portland, OR) was 7pm. I checked my wife's iPhone and hers was an hour fast also. I also did a reset, no help.

Hi Steve,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2339 describes that issue and provides tips that may resolve it.
If you have checked Set Automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time, then you may want to contact AT&T as Tamara said.

I enter specific times on the computer icloud calendar and the times are three (3) hours different when viewed on my iphone. I have checked the time settings on the iphone and it is correct (EST).Where do I go next?

I have entered dates and specific times on my computers icloud calendar. When I view the dates and times on my iphone the times are three (3) hours later. I have checked the time zone settings on my iphone and it is correct (EST). Where do I go next?

Restoring is the answer. It sounds as if there is a rogue process constantly draining your battery.
The issue you face is that, if you restore your backup thereafter, you risk the problem coming straight back with your files.
Store your files individually and it is time to start fresh.

I had backed up my IPhone 4s on iCloud on Jan 19. I am now trying to do another back up but it says the time required is 7 hours. It appears to long a time for 1GB of data stored on the iCloud. Can someone help me please?

To be honest, that sounds about right.
For example on my 8Mbps (megbits) down service I get around 0.4Mbps upload. That is the equivalent of (very approximately) 3Mb (megabytes) per minute or 180Mb per hour. Over 7 hours that would be just over 1Gb.
Obviously, it all depends on your connection speed, but that is certainly what I would expect, and that is why I use my computer for backing up, not iCloud. So much quicker.

I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours)

At first, my macbook couldn't start up. It only displayed apple logo with a spinning wheel on grey screen for hours and hours. Then I decided to reinstall the OS. I tried so many times to install but the installing time said thousands of hours remaining to complete . I left the computer for days but it didn't install OS. I tried that connecting the Ethernet cable as well but it didn't work. Then I took out all my important files by connecting it to another macbook and formatted the hard drive. Then tried to install OS again. But still didn't work. I checked on you tube and changed the hard drive cable as well. Still didn't work. I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours). Seriously looking for help.

The time on my pre is faster than normal

when i used the pre in my hometown the time worked fine. i am now at college and still in the same time zone so it is the same exact time as my hometown, but for some reason it runs faster than normal. so ill set it to my computer time then later on in the day it will be like an hour ahead. i dont know what to do, help please.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I've been having a similar problem. Here's my story:
My wife and I got Pres on the day they went on sale. About a week later I noticed that the time was fast on both of them.
Over the next few weeks I tried experimenting with everything I could think of. I tried every combination of setting the network time and zone sliders to on and off, but they still gained about 3 minutes a day.
At one point I called Sprint. They quickly elevated me to the senior tech person, who was stumped. The best they could offer was to do a reset. Doing so did result in the phone grabbing the correct time, but it proved to be a non-fix... it started running fast again.
In June we spent five days in Las Vegas. During that period, my phone kept absolutely perfect time; my wife's, however, continued to run fast. When we returned home to Seattle, my phone also resumed running fast.
Last Friday we took the phones into a Sprint store with an on-site repair shop. They took mine in the back, told me they did some updates (not sure what this was since all my updates were current) and told me it was fine. No such luck. By the next day I noticed it was still running fast. My wife's phone also had some minor screen cracks so they swapped hers for a referb unit. Believe it or not, this one started running fast as well.
At some point I noticed that the phone grabs the correct time if I connect it via USB for a media sync.
So, that's where I'm at -- we've handled three phones and all of them run fast regardless of how the network/zone sliders are set. I really don't know what else to try but would eagerly welcome any suggestions.

I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?

I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?
It's my iphone problem or itunes?

It shouldn't take this long, something is wrong with your iTunes. Try this:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and do the sync again and if it is working now.

Session time out up to # hours for Interaction center

Hi Experts,
I want increase the web ui session time out up to # hours. I tried using SMICM and Technical Profile. But using these options i could not achieve such long session. I tried using RZ 11 icm keep alive parameter, but the effect will apply for all the applications in the CRM WEB UI.
I want do this for only Interaction center application not for all other application in CRM WEB UI .
Please help me how I can do this.
Thanks
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,
This cannot be achieved without development enhancements to some standard SAP framework component, to introduce a "keep-alive" concept. If you are using a CMS for CTI or email integration, you need to ensure it supports keeping the communications session alive also.

Scheduled Fax - Time off by one hour

If I schedule a fax job on a remote computer and select "Send at" via the scheduler drop-down, it behaves differently in Tiger (10.4.6) than in Panther (10.3.9).
In Panther, it works as I would expect. The default time is the current time, and when you schedule the job, the remote system has the same time as you set.
In Tiger, the default time that comes up is 6:00PM , and when you change this time and schedule the job, the remote computer schedules it for one hour ahead of your time.
I have verified that the time zone settings are the same on all computers, and it does the same whether the shared fax is on a Tiger system or a Panther system.
PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Update, I now have several accounts that reporting the same issue. Has anyone else seen this?

Daylight saving time off by 1 hour

Greetings.
There is a java aplication running on my windows XP professional client. It apparently uses one of the java functions to get the date from my client PC. The problem is that the time in the application is off by one hour.
I am in the eastern time zone with daylight savings time checked.
If I uncheck daylight savings time the application time is correct.
I am using the latest JRE which seems to include multiple version's of the java webstart which I can see in the registry.
Anybody come across this.
Over and out,

just use
java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
java.util.TimeZone tz = java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Berlin"); // adjust for your time zone
now.setTime(now.getTime() + tz.getDSTSavings());
and
new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss", java.util.Locale.GERMAN).format(now)
to obtain the formatted time as String.

Clock time right but save times wrong?

The clock in the top right hand corner is correct, however when I save something, it will get the minutes but it will always say I saved it at 19:(mins).
I also have a similar issue when using ical and also when the screen saver has the clock it always gets the minutes right but the hour is always 7pm!
thanks

Hi，
For this issue,please check your DC's time first.
On the domain,kerberos has a 5 minute time skew hence ensure that all clients/DCs/Members servers clocks are within the 5 minute skew.
If you use your domain user to login your system,domain controllers will synchronize your system time.
I suggest you change the time manually and turn off Time Synchronization.
You can perform the following step to turn off Time Synchronization：
1. Open PC settings, and click/tap on Time and language on the left side.
2. Click/tap on Date and time on the left side of "Time and language", and do step 3 below for what you would like to do.
3. To Turn Off Internet Time Synchronization
A) On the right side under Date and time, move the Set time automatically slider to the left to turn it off.
Meanwhile,I highly recommend to synchronize the time of your PC with a reliable external NTP server.

I got a new computer and all applications were transferred to the new one. When I launch Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a warning that Acrobat cannot be launched now and that I need to launch another application e.g. Photoshop which is already launched. An

I got a new computer and all applications were transferred from the old one. However, when I tried launching Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a message that says: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be opened at this time and I need to launch another application in the suite e.g.Photoshop" which is already launched. Is there some help around this?

It appears that you have the CS. What new OS do you have. If it is Win 8.1, you may have to purchase a new version of Acrobat for that system. Folks have succeeded with AA 8.1 on Win 7, but I have not heard of any successful installs on Win 8.1. As for the issue you have with the new OS, you do have to follow the CS install process that is different than the stand-alone Acrobat (there are some posts that discuss the process if you search).
