Date and time keeps going missing!
Hi everybody, my date and time keeps going missing from the top bar every time I turn on my mac - sometimes other things go missing, like the airport status.
It used to happen just once a fortnight but after I installed the latest security update, it seems to be happening every time. Does anybody have a reason/fix? Would be much appreciated. Thankyou!
Hi appleoclock, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not sure this works since that Qursical update, but the cure for that used to be...
Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone
You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).

Can anyone help
Here is the solution:
Download Apple Configurator from the App Store
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator/id434433123?mt=12
Follow the directions on this link: http://techjournal.318.com/apple-tv/install-a-profile-on-apple-tv-using-configur ator/
You will need a micro-USB to USB connector --
Be sure the plug in the Apple TV *FIRST* ~b e f o r e~ the USB cable is plugged in.
It works like a charm!!

Your ATV doesn't have an internet connection. If everything else is working on your network, that means your ATV's network module is dead.

Date and Time adjustments for multiple photos
Hello, thanks for providing the space for new users, and thanks in advance for your assistance.
I am currently moving out of apple aperture/iphoto and across to lightroom 5.
The OCD part of me likes to have my library organized, and I noticed that when I transferred my library across it is in a bit of a mess, so I am currently in the process of organizing the library and cleaning it up (approximately 18000 photos)
Any how, I have almost settled on a folder structure (YYYY/MM - I feel for the number of photos I have trying to nut down to day might be to much - happy to receive advise on this also)
For the most part, the photos have correct date and time from the commencement of the digital era (for me 2006 onwards)
Photos pre 2006 are in negative form, and I am currently in process of having these scanned and imported into library, I have a batch done every month. Adjusting the date and time from the creation date is where I am running into trouble.
I have looked around the web and various forums to no avail.
Firstly, I organize the photos into the correct order. I then select the first photo and the then select the remaining photos. I then select the adjust date/time from the menu and select the first option, adjust to new date and time, lets say 01/01/1990 at 1200 PM.
The result I end up with is the first photo (the more selected photo if correct term) has 01/01/1990 @ 1200 as date and time, the remaining have 01/01/1990 as date (if I am lucky), and the times jump all over the place. Sometimes it wont even change the date time for the remaining photos.
What I am trying to achieve is either the same Date/Time for all the photos when I select a batch, or have them increment in time by a standard amount (i.e 1 minute (1200/1201/1202) or 1 second (1200:00/1200:01/1200:02)), and I just dont seem to be able to work this out to automatically do this, currently I have to achieve this by a manual adjusting each photo (some 200 at a time) which is really labor intensive
Thanks in advance, and hoping an easy solution
Regards
DeanThanks, that seemed to fix the problem.
Workflow is:
1) In grid view arrange photos in correct order
2) Rename photos with a name & sequence (i.e. photos-1), this appears to then keep the photos organized as how I had arranged in grid view
3) Export photos & delete original photos from my master library
4) Open exported photos in an EXIF editor and change date & time to a common format (I am currently using the seasons as a guide, i.e. the photos that I recall being taken in spring are dated the first day of spring, using noon as the time)
5) Import back to Lightroom and organizing as per my usual structure.
This has allowed me to easily batch change date and times, keeping the correct order and has drastically reduce my workload, thanks for the suggestion! -
Not able to adjust Date and Time
For about a month now I haven't been able to manually adjust the time and date. Everything else on my iPod works fine... but when I click to change time and date it just goes black for about one second then goes back to the main menu. I don't think anything has been added to it that is unsafe.. but to be sure I scanned all my folders that are on my iPod and then scanned my entire computer. Nothing came up in the scan.
I do have the most up to date version of the software that is out.
It currently says that it is Friday, February 23, 2007 at 5:33pm. It changed it's time and date on it's own... I can't correct it.
So if anyone knows how to fix this please tell me how.I am having a similar problem. The time is off by 12 hours exactly (ahead). When I touch date and time, screen goes black for less than a second and then reverts to main screen with all of the icons. I have first generation touch and just noticed this problem. All of the software is up to date. Any one know of a fix for this?

Not able to adjust date and time - format does not permit
Hello,
I just scanned one old photo as a JPG and then imported it to Aperture 2, I renamed the file 1976-07-01_01.jpg based on the date the pic was taken. Then I tried to adjust the date and time in Aperture but got this error window:
"Unable to adjust master file
Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file "pic.jpg" because it has a format that does not permit date modification."
What next?I am having a similar problem. The time is off by 12 hours exactly (ahead). When I touch date and time, screen goes black for less than a second and then reverts to main screen with all of the icons. I have first generation touch and just noticed this problem.

Iit is setting date and time but keeps going in circle . but never sets up
Try to use apple tv. But when turn it on. It is setting Date and time? But the cursur is just going around and around and nothing happen for a while. It doesnt set the time or date, so can watch apple tv.?why?
I have had this frustrating problem twice. Combinations of resets, restores, restarts of routers etc have been generally unsuccessful.
My Apple TV2 has full internet connectivity (through a internet cable, connected to a D-Link gigabit switch, connected to a Generation 4 Apple Time Capsule, connected to a high speed Comcast ARRIS modem).
The Apple TV2 works well with AirPlay, Youtube, HD movie trailers, HomeSharing music and photos, etc, but won't connect to NetFlix, allow movie rental, or allow iTunes purchased home computer programs to display due to not being conneted to an iTunes account.
And I can't connect to the iTunes store because the "time and date cannot be set".
Note that my iMac is connected to the same gigabit switch as my Apple TV2 and it can automatically set time and date, just fine. I tested by turning off the auto set, setting the wrong time, then turning it back on and having the system time and date properly reset... twice!
This time, my problem was solved by going into the Time Capsule, changine IPv6 setting from HOST to "Local Link". The Apple TV2 immediately knew the time and was able to connect to the iTunes store.
I recall that last time I "fixed" this problem, I changed that same setting from Local-Link to Host.
I agree with lagoed, Apple should fix this vexing problem, the sooner the better. -
My account keeps asking for Region but the drop down menu lists Cities in China. I can,'t cange the region in my account because it asks me to check the date and time but these are correct. Any answers please?
Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful. -
I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.. How do I get them back?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

The second case may not be included in the available D&T formats in Numbers 3
For my region, the Date & Time data formats include month.

This may not be the case for all regions.
Remember that the month is only the display, and the Full Date & Time is still there. If I change the format to reveal what is behind the curtain:

On the iPod, make sure your Calendar is set to Gregorian (Settings > General > International > Calendar). Also make sure your date and time on your computer is correct as well as the Time Zones on both.

Date and time on my iPhone keeps changing to GMT or Cupertino time
Hi,
Somehow my date and time settings keeps changing to GMT/Cupertino despite setting it to Mumbai (India). Because of this all my alarms and calendar events have gone for a toss. I have changed the time to Mumbai multiple times, but it keeps switching back without event touching the phone. I even upgraded to 2.0.2 but the problem persists. Any idea what else can I do to get this working.
Thanks,
AvinashI picked this up from another thread (I tried 2.0.1 and 2.02 upgrades too with no success). The following worked, though:
- Plug your iPhone into you Macbook / PC and allow iTunes to do a full backup (I had to right click the iphone icon and select backup).
- Right click your iPhone under DEVICES in iTunes and click on Restore. Choose the back up you have just made
- From within your iPhone, tap the Settings icon, choose General and then Date & Time. Choose Time Zone and change the time zone to your desired city.
- To test the change has worked, tap the Date & Time back arrow at the top left and then click on the home button. Finally, go back to the Time Zone option within Settings and the time zone should have stayed as the one you chose.
Note: Is your iPhone 3G’s GPS facility taking ages to pinpoint your location? The above changes will fix this problem as well
