Date and Time Reset

I've got my clock set to synch automatically, but everytime I turn on my machine the date is set for Jan. 1970. I'm thinking it has something to do with the firewall on my wireless network, as I have to tell my airport to connect to the network (as opposed to it just doing it). But why reset to 1970? Why wouldn't the clock simply just keep going?

Durden, Welcome to the discussion area!
The iBook does NOT have a separate PRAM battery. It only has the single large battery. So the other suggestions of replacing the PRAM battery won't work for you.
Have you tried resetting the PRAM?
Have you tried resetting the PMU?

Hi TJK, Thanx for answering,
My MBP have already a three months bought, what i should do, call to apple or to dealer?
I supposed its in warranty yet. THX
Your MBP has a one year hardware warranty on it.
As Trey suggested, it wouldn't hurt to try an SMC reset. If that doesn't work, you definitely want to contact AppleCare so you get it taken care of under warranty.

As I open my computer, there's a notification telling me to allow these files for a connection, which are very unsual for my mac. I allowed one and my date and time reset to january 1 of 2001. It caused my internet connection to stop working properly.

Please help me figure out what causes my internet connection and airport extreme run erratically. It occurred twice already and my only solution is to reset the date and time, and restart my macbook pro. after that, everything seems to work perfectly again. This is only problem that my macbook pro encountered for two years. Thanks!

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Yes, it can be fixed, but it's not an easy task.
It depends on the iMac you own. To have an idea have a look at this guide

thanks for the suggestion, tried the same but it doesn't work

HT1689 I keep getting the error: Cannot connect to ITunes Store. I recently updated the iOS on the ipad3. Have tried heaps of fixes as suggested in various threads. DNS, date and time, reset etc

I am a fairly new apple user, just got the new ipad, as part of an evaluation program. I recently did an iOS update and now keep getting the error message:cannot connect to iTunes Store... I tried date changing - no good ... The only thing that worked was to change the DNS setting to 0.0.0.0 as described in another thread. This fix for a day and now still getting the same error message and DNS setting changes do nothing. I have tried the reset method several times to no avail. I'm beginning tho think the ipad wasn't a great idea.... Apple need to attend to this. Like many, I have already wasted too much time looking for a fix. I am part of an IT in education group that will soon be recommending a specific hardware and OS. Could result in the loss of thousands of ipad sales for apple ....
Anyhow... All or any suggestions are welcome :)

Also, I've just learned that I can connect to download new apps, but cannot update any apps I've downloaded in the past. How might I go about connecting my reset apple ID with its history from before it was reset? I assume that is the biggest issue.

My charger switched off my iPhone and now my phone will not switch on unless connected to the charger. But, I cannot access wifi or my sim and the date and time resets. It does not connect to iTunes and freezes after five minutes

It will not recognise sound and if I take it off the charger, it immediately switches off. I've installed iOS8 previously but nothing is working. Please help!!

There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

Resetting the date and time after the phone has be...

Hi,
I keep having to reset the date and time very time I turn my phone off. I was thinking it was to do with the battery so I fully charged it, turned it off then turned it on again and it asks me for the date and time.
I only noticed this because I've had exams and I have to turn my phone off for them.
Could it be a dying internal battery?
I know with computers there's a BIOS battery that controls date and time. When they start to die the date and time are inaccurate.
I'll have to find time to take it to the 3-Mobile shop either on Sunday or sometime next week if it is an internal battery problem.
Thanks,
Omar

Hi omar3256
I believe that there is a very small component on the motherboard which serves this purpose, although whether battery or sort of capacitor I am not certain. The N80 especially seemed to be prone to this failure.

Reseting the date and time on photosmart 5510

Having replaced the internal battery,the date and time on scanned items to memory card is giving 1st january 2001.how can i reset this.

Hey @dube55,
I am aware that your Photosmart model does not have a fax. Because I do not have a Photosmart 5510 here and have no access to the Embedded Web Server I gave you the generic tab options. My apologies for the confusion.
The Date and Time option under the Embedded Web Server for your printer should be located under Settings or Tools. It may be under a sub-menu on the left hand side, such as System or Preferences. Feel free to click on the options to explore what you are able to alter on your machine.
If you still do not see a Date and Time option we will need to run a Power Reset on the printer. Doing so should prompt you to enter the date and time when reconfiguring your printer. If this fails, we may need to run a Factory Restore.
How to Perform a Hard Reset:
Turn your printer ON
With the printer ON disconnect the power cable from the rear of the printer for 30 seconds
Plug the power cable back in
The printer should start back up on its own
Once the printer returns to the ready state, try another scan to verify if the time and date stamp is correct
Should the issue persist, please proceed with the reset below.
How to Restore Factory Defaults:
Turn your printer ON
Touch the right arrow button until you see Setup (wrench)
Touch the Setup button
Select Tools
Select Restore Factory Defaults
Choose Yes
Once the Restore is complete your printer should start back up and may prompt you to enter the date and time.
Please let me know if these steps work for you. Best of luck!

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My macbook pro keeps crashing and resetting the date and time

I'm having a problem with my 2010 Macbook pro(ios6.1) with crashing. After it happens I need to reset the date and time. I also have a problem with iphoto, the program won't open. I have reintalled it serveral times and after the update it won't open just the circulating circle appears. I'm running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8 If any one can help it would be greatly appreciated. D.D.D

If you have to reset the date and time, it may be that there is a power interruption. I would try a SMC reset.

I would post you iPhoto issue in the iPhoto forum.
Ciao.

My AppleTV cannot set date and time. I've reset it, but after 3 hours, it is still trying

My AppleTV used to work fine. Someone messed with my Time Capsule, so I had to have it worked on. Since it was messed up, the AppleTV can't function. I reset it and updated everything. It said "Activating" and "setting date and time". After 3 hours, it is still trying to set the date and time. Now what do I do? Thanks for any help.

As I previously wrote in a former post:
I will first assume you are still setting up your new Apple TV. Is this is the case, use a website like canyouseeme.com to check if port 123 is open. If it is not, this is your issue of your Apple TV not being able to connect to the timeserver. Try contacting your Internet Service Provider for help with opening this port.
Otherwise, try hard resetting your Apple TV by disconnecting all power for 30 seconds. If the problem still persists, you may try hard resetting your router by also unplugging all power for 30 seconds.
Hope this worked out well for you. If you are having further troubles you can always connect it to iTunes using a micro-usb and restore it. Lastly, the Genius Bar will be more than happy to fix the problem for you if you'd like to make a reservation for your local Apple Store.

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to restart and reset but does not work,did follow direstions unplugging apple TV still not resetting/restarting, any help?

Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you.
