Date & Time - Set Automatically Not Working

I'm experiencing some very quirky behviour with the time that appears on status bar on the home screen and the world clocks.
Ever since the DST change on the weekend my iPhone no longer acquires the correct time from the network when I have "set automatically" enabled for Date & Time. Prior to this I have traveled through various time zones and the correct time would always be displayed. Even on the World Clocks.
Now the iPhone acquires time that is -1hr. However, all the World Clocks appear correct (even for the local city that I'm in).
If I disable "set automatically" and select the city I'm in everything returns to normal and the World Clocks continue to function.
Since I travel a lot it really bothers me that the set automatically doesn't work and I would really like a long term solution so I can keep it enabled.
In the meantime, can anyone help explain the following:
1. How is time stored on the iPhone? Is it set to local time or GMT with a timezone offset?
2. How does it acquire time and timezone from the carrier?
3. How does it determine the time to display on the status bar and screen saver?
4. How does it determine the time to display for the World Clocks?
I am running firmware 1.1.4

I am currently in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Current timezone is UTC/GMT -5 (CDT - Central Daylight Time).
When date & time is set to automatic, the time in the status bar is incorrect for Winnipeg by -1 hr. All the times in the World Clock are correct (including the display for Winnipeg).
I recall an issue I had when using Bootcamp on my Macbook. The Macbook records system time (and all time stamps) in UTC/GMT but displays the correct time once you specify the timezone offset. This caused problems when booting back and forth with Windows because Windows assumed the system clock was set to the local time (I now use VMWare Fusion). This issue was well documented on the Apple site.
I'm assuming the iPhone behaves similar to my Macbook and Mac OS and expects the system time to be set as UTC/GMT. The behaviour I'm experiencing suggests the UTC/GMT time is actually being set correctly on the iPhone (otherwise, the world clocks wouldn't display the correct time) but the timezone offset is incorrect for Winnipeg (which determines how it's displayed in the status bar).
I did some significant troubleshooting last night and gathered some data to further explain the problem. However, I fear that if I post it publicly the thread may be deleted.

IPhone 5 won't hold Date & Time "set automatically."

Date & Time, when "set automatically," arbitrarily resets itself to a date and time in August.
Setting Date & Time manually works fine.
There is a thread on this glitch on the Apple Forums. It's happening in all time zones.
Apple says it's a Verizon issue.
Verizon claims it's an Apple software problem.
Anyone got a definitive answer for this?

This is the same info I posted in the Apple forum about my attempts to resolve this issue so far...
So this is what I have tried...
Turn off Auto Time and set time manually.... Fail
Reset All Settings (under General menu).... Fail
Leave disconnected from Wi-Fi.... Fail
Restore software and set up from back up.... Fail
Restore and set up as new phone... Fail
Replace phone at Apple Store... Fail
Replace sim card at Verizon store.... Fail
Restore firmware using a fresh downloaded file... Fail
Restore firmware and set up from scratch with a new iTunes account without downloading any apps, contacts or anything.... Fail
I have verified the date/time settings on my 2 month old MacBook Pro I use to sync phones
I have verified the date/time settings on my Linksys router (not that that matters because the time changes when its not connected to the router)
All of the above has been done on both a white and a black 16gig iPhone 5 on Verizon...
The date/time for both is always behind 14 days 18 hours 48 minutes and 19 seconds so that tells me it is keeping time with something... Lets collectively compile all this info so we can get to the bottom of this problem and get it worked out quickly

Date & Time Set Automatically locate me in China!

I upgraded my iTouch 4G to iOs 5 the other day. A couple of days later, in the middle of the night, the time zone switched to Shanghai and I missed my doctor's appointment because the iPod thought I was in China. Now, I live in Reykjavík, Iceland, nowhere near China. What the heck has happened? I switched 'Set Automatically" off and set it to Reykjavík and it works fine. Still, when I use the Facebook app my location is Shenyang, Liaoning, China!
Is this an iOs 5 glitch or what the heck is going on? I've tried it over a different wifi and it's the same thing.

Date&Time download appletv not working

Help !! After successfull configuration of WiFi network and downloading appletv update, appletv tries to download date&time.
This is ongoing since more then one hour without success. Unfortunately movie downloads do not work without date&time configeration . What can I do ?

Unplug your Apple TV & disconnect the HDMI cable from the TV. Try first connecting the HDMI cable to the TV, then the power cord into the socket or back into the Apple TV.

Dynamic rooting (User Record) setting is not working in Nakisa OrgChart SP3

Dear All
The Dynamic rooting setting is not working in the Nakisa OrgChart SP3.
It is giving an error message - "Cannot find the root of your orgchart. The orgchart box may have been deleted or incorrectly specified, or no valid org structure can be found for the selected effective date. Please change the root of the chart or select another effective date."
We followed the same steps as given in the Admin guide of SP3 (P.no. 109 - shown below)
In Orgchart --> General Settings:
* Select the Org chart root value source.
User Record: Retrieves the record specified in the next step from the employee data element.
*Do one of the following to define the org chart root:
If User Record was selected in the previous step, select the field containing the ID of the required organizational object in the employee data element from the User record field drop-down list. For example, if you wish to root the org chart at the org unit of the logged-in user, select the field containing the org unit ID. Hence, we have selected the Org unit ID.
Note:
We had enabled single sign-on with logon tickets
Retained the standard settings in Security Settings --> Employee Source
Had provided full authorization to the roles
If we use the "OrgChart Root" option available in 'Orgchart root value source', the org structure gets displayed correctly from the root object defined.
As this is an standard functionality, Kindly guide us in resolving the issue.
Regards

You don't have to and shouldn't always include the username and password parameters for the SAP Connection string. When you omit them it will use the user's login credentials.
Remember though that:
The SAPRoleMappingConnection will need them included in order to get the details for the user in the first place.
Without the username and password specified in a connection string you can't click the option to test the connection and result in a successful connection. Remember unable to connect does not necessarily equate to wrongly configured.

At the very least it looks like SAPPositionVacancyDataElement is missing and whilst the other errors around it are unfamiliar I wonder if it might be a good first step to see if you can track down the reference to and existence of this data element? That being said it looks like your last test occurred well over an hour after this (so you may have already resolved it) and resulted in nothing but information messages. If that is the case it might be worth "rolling" your log file or manually trimming it to the right time frame when posting it? Otherwise it can be misleading as people could flag up issues you have already resolved.
So assuming you haven't tried Luke's suggestion (which should only take a couple of minutes to do) I think you should go back and do so right away .

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

The ringer setting is not working on my iPhone 4s

My iPhone fell into my pond for less than 10 secs. I pulled it out in time to dry it off and shake some of the water out. I made sure the screen was still working and sounds were functioning then I turned it off and left it in a bag or rice for 24 hrs. The next day I took it out and it was working fine. Now suddenly today, the ringer setting is not working. When I go into settings>sounds I press on ringtone and it seems to be working. Speakers are fine and when someone calls I have no problem. I can also hear the ringtones. But when someone txts me or when I get notifications it doesn't have any sound? The alarms don't work and the sounds in apps don't work. When I put the charger in, it doesn't make a sound. It vibrates only except when someone calls me... My headphone jack seems to be working fine because I can hear everything even the text tones and sounds in apps... What should I do? How much will I have to pay to get someone at apple to fix this problem? I'm assuming there is still some moisture in the phone maybe? It was working for a week until today I'm not planing to upgade to the iPhone 5 anytime soon. Btw, the volume buttons do work it's just when I press on it, it doesn't show the bars when you press up or down... it's just blank.

If it's physically stuck it might be best to bring it into the Apple store at George Street Sydney.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working.
I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Data roaming setting does not show up on iPhone 4S

My wife got a new iPhone 4S from Verizon a few weeks and and she's been using it with no probolems since then. Yesterday we crossed the board into Canada and I tried to turn "Data Roaming" off on her phone but the "Data Roaming" setting does not exist in Settings->General->Network. On my Verizon iPhoen 4S it has the optios "Voice Roaming" and "Data Roaming" but on hers only "Voice Roaming".
I was able to turn off all cellular data but that's actually inconvenient because we're right on the border and often go in an out of US cell converage areas, so with data roaming off it lets me use data whenever there's a US cell signal and otherwise prevents me from using data on a Canadian signal, but with all cellular data off, you have to constantly be toggling the setting when you think you go from a cell tower in the Canada to one in the US.
Does anybody have any idea why the "Data Roaming" setting does not exist on her phone yet it does on mine? Both phones are running iOS 5.0.1.

On your wife's phone: Dial *228. When prompted, select 2 to update her roaming capabilities. When complete, you will hear a confirmation message. In about a minute, you will also see an alert that your service update is complete. See if doing that fixes things.
