EMate 300 Time and Date keeps Resetting

I got an eMate 300 for Christmas 2013, and a problem I've come to notice is that when I set the time and date, and then tap the mini clock in the corner to re-open the clock, it's either corrupted, or it is reset to default. Is this the memory, or is it a bug? My documents have timestamps on them, and I don't want them to get scrambled up. Thank you in advance.

Very few people have eMates anymore. You might find the answer on http://www.lowendmac.com/
or http://www.pda-soft.de/en/hardware/emate/disassembly/disassembly.html
You might want to e-mail them to find out if a PRAM battery exists for it.

IPhone 4S time and date keeps resetting, despite being set to automatically do so.

After having recently upgraded my iOS to 7.0.4, my Verizon iPhone 4S has started to re-set the time and date every now and then at random. It does this, despite me having my Settings set to automatically set the date and time based on my location. I have called Verizon about this and all they had me do was to reset my network connections and reset my roaming capabilities...and despite me doing that this morning, the time re-set itself again this afternoon. I have found the only solution has been for me to power off my phone completely and then once on again, set the phone either into Airplane mode for a second - or to just wait until the Verizon signal switches the phone back to being the correct time and date on its own. I have also found that these issues have started to affect my ability to send and receive iMessages, as well. For some reason, when the date/time re-sets, the iMessage option becomes un-selected and I have to manually go back and turn that functionality back on. Anyone else having these same issues? It's incredibly frustrating and I'm not sure what else I can do save for constantly hard, re-starting my iPhone everytime I notice the time and date is out of whack. Also it's hard for me to tell if this is an Apple hardware issue/bug that just needs to be fixed - or something to do with Verizon. Any tips/info would be appreciated.

Try setting your time to manual. This way, the iPhone is the one controlling the time. As you correctly understand, when it is on auto, it is controlled by Verizon and their individual towers. If after setting the time to manual it works, then I would say it isn't a phone issue, but a Verizon one. Do you frequent the same area when this occurs? It could very well be an issue with a particular tower in your area and Verizon would need to check that. If the time goes off again while on manual, then it could be the phone. User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Try each in order until the problem is fixed. If it cannot be, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the phone looked at for hardware issues.

TIme and Date keep changoing

I am running the New 21.5 iMac with 10.6.1 and bootcamp with windows 7. My time and date keep changing, going forward 2-3 days and changing from AM to PM. This happens when I boot into Windows 7 or put it to sleep. I tried setting it to use the Apple NTP server and setting it manually, but neither keep it correct. Also, this is another issue, the display drivers do not offer the highest or correct resolution in Windows 7, it only shows a generic VGA display adapter in device manager.
TIA for any help!

Hello d:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I do not use Windows on my Macs (and have no intention of doing so). Having said that, there is a forum for people who do here:

Time and Date keeps changing

Every time I connect my ipod touch 2.1.1 the date and time keeps changing. is it a glitch? i also tried restoring my ipod but it didnt help, so please fix this

Thanks. This solves the time and date issue. But I still have a problem when I do the following: Settings>General>Time & Date, then the main screen (with all of the icons) is displayed, I never see the time, date screen, it goes back after about 1 second to main screen The same thing happens when I do the following: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>I then scroll to the bottom of the page and I get the main page again. I never get to touch on contacts or calendar, only mail. Please help.

The time and date keeps unlocking, why wont it stay locked?

everytime i start my computer the date and time has changed to some crazy past date lite 1969. I fix and lock it and when i shutdown and return it has unlocked and changed again. How do I keep it locked.

PowerBooks, with a couple of minor exceptions, have a clock/PRAM backup battery inside, usually a Li-Ion rechargeable battery that can last nearly ten years or which can punk out after five years or so, depending on the luck of the draw. When the clock comes up set to baseline (midnight GMT January 1, 1970) repeatedly, that is a dead giveaway that the backup battery is kaput. That being said, the main battery should hold things up for quite a while, unless it is tanking as well. (More on that below.) There are relatively easy fixes for the problem that we can point you to.
What is the specific PowerBook model giving you this problem? Screen size, processor speed and machine model. Launch System Profiler in your Utilities folder in the Applications folder. You should see a Hardware Overview like this in Tiger:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name:          PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model:          PowerBook3,5
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.5.3f2
Copy and paste that into your reply, Do not include the Serial Number for the machine. Then click the Power line under Hardware in System Profiler and copy the battery and charger information there into your reply. That should give us some information about your main battery as well. It should look something like this:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed:          Yes
First low level warning:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5527
Remaining Capacity (mAh):          5405
Amperage (mA):          0
Voltage (mV):          16553
Cycle Count:          0
AC Charger Information:

Time and date keep changing

It started happening a week or so ago. Every time I boot the time is changed. I set the date from the bios but arch shows the time wrong. Also because of this I sometimes get problems during bootup because the partition looks like it was last mounted in the future. Can anyone help me out?

Aside from possible hardware failure, automatic time adjust could be wrong. Try:
cat /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime
0.026639 1255063716 0.000000
1255063716
UTC
The first field should be a rather low value. If not, delete /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and reboot.
If this does not help, make sure your hardware clock is set right (see: man hwclock). Make sure your current system time displays right and then issue (as root):
hwclock --systohc
Finally (or beforemost) check the HARDWARECLOCK setting in /etc/rc.conf. Does it match your system (either "UTC" or "localtime")?
BTW: This problem comes up often. Just search the forum.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why is my macpro reseted time and date?

Ok,eventually my macpro reseted his date and time to something about 2001... The point is,that i bought this laptop from a friend few months ago, and i even forgot to ask for a login password,and after that and didnt even consider reseting users. The problem with the time and date change,came another problem,i cant even use safari regulary,on sites such is facebook,or even apple .com,without getting a verification security verisign,without blocking the site that i am trying to get in to. Only way is to "trust" that site is manually sign it as "trusted" with your login and a password from your mac. Which i dont know,even my friend dont know the password,the one that i bought it from. Just to make some things straight,its not stolen,i bought it from an original owner,no matter how awkward this situation looks like. Thanks in advance for a any ideas.

Hi all
I have the same problem. When I put the touch to sleep, it seams that during the sleep phase, the time stands still and after power it on again, the time & date is reseted to the default settings.
Hope someone have an idea or a solution for this problem.
Cheers, istvan72

Time and date reset bug

hu guys, recently ive been experiencing a time and date reset bug, sometimes when i open up my computer it says something like your date is set to (i forgot the exact date but the year is 2001) so i change it back to the correct time and date, im not sure how i got the bug, can anyone help me fix this problem, its beginning to be annoying. thanks in advance!!

Sherwin,
Those symptoms indicate that you need to get your backup (PRAM) battery replaced.If your computer does not retain parameter RAM (PRAM) settings when it is turned off, this generally indicates that the battery needs to be changed.;~)

HT200197 It doesn´t let me set up time and date. It keeps searching endlessly. Therefore I am not able to use appletv

t doesn´t let me set up time and date. It keeps searching endlessly. Therefore I can´t use appletv

That means it is having trouble connecting to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly. DNS should be set to automatic. Ensure router is up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Reboot ATV and router.

Ibook G4 shuts down unexpectedly and resets time and date

More and more frequently my iBook will shut down completely unexpectedly when not plugged in. This happens regardless of how much battery life it has or it claims to have (80%, 40%, 20%, 12%). It will not start up again from battery only. When I plug the computer and restart it, it has reset time and date to Wed March 31 1969, 19.31 pm. It alerts me that the time is set to before 2001 and this may lead applications to behave erratically.
Is this normal? Why is this happening?
I have a few months left of my APP, but that doesn't cover battery related problems, right?

Hi astaver and welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you are still using the original battery from a nearly 3 yrs old iBook then it is almost certain that the battery has reached the end of its useful life. The symptoms you describe more or less confirm this.
To check on battery health go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac>More Info>Power>Battery and copy/paste the info into a reply.
You can also download and install Coconut Battery which gives a GUI to the same info.
You are right in assuming that Applecare doesn't cover you for a dead battery of this age but you might like to see if you qualify under the iBook & PowerBook G4 - Battery Exchange Program.
Good luck,
Adrian

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

Time and date reset to 2001 with Mac-Mini

Hi all,
I am a newbie with Mac, I just got a new mac-mini some weeks ago from Apple store. Everything is ok, except that, when I start my mac-mini, the time is reset and the date is reset to year 2001. I first saw that settings were to start with a network device, so I changed it and set to start from hard disk. Doing this, I pressed "restart", and it worked, the time and date were no longer changed. However, if the mac-mini stays for some hours turned off, the next time I start it it resets again the date and time, and it alerts me that with this new time&date settings some programs may not work well. So I need everytime to go to time&date setting and to change manually them, which is indeed annoying.
How can I set definitely time&date, and why does the mac-mini resets them?
Thanks
mac-mini early 2006

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I would eliminate the second option, cause it does not seem to go into shutdown, and moreover I have other PCs which do not suffer from power supply issues.
I asked a pc-shop and was told that maybe the small battery inside the motherboard is over and need to be changed. Is it possible? The mac-mini is just come out from the factory!
If your first option is true, I am afraid I need to send it to assistance at Apple!
Thanks a lot
Bye
