Have a compaq nc6320 laptop the system clock is set to 6/3/9999

why can't I seem to change the clock on this laptop couldnt find in bois where to set bois clock and tgried to change in windows 7 and it will not change

I am not a Mac user, but have multiple versions and profiles of Firefox. I note you ask about Macs, but have system details showing as Windows 7.
I can only speak from a PC perspective, but no doubt you can sort it out yourself. It is down to the OS which browser is the default, although firefox has the option to check and reset that at startup.
No doubt if I delved into the registry I could find how it sets the default browser, but in practical terms what I do is allow the OS to set itself up.
# Choose any other alternative browser such as IE, make that the default, and allow that to take effect.
#Then deselect IE as default browser checking.
#Now start up the chosen version of Firefox, use Firefox's options to set that as default browser. (Options -> advanced -> general system defaults )
It works, although some applications may choose IE regardless.

With luck something similar may work on a Mac

How do you get permission for FlexLm/HASP to access the system clock?

I've got animation software that accesses the system clock to verify a security dongle. It works fine under 10.4.3, but I recently got a dual processor G5 with 10.4.5 on it. According to the s/w tech people, the dongle mgmt s/w doesn't have permission to access the system clock because of new security fixes. Anybody have any idea how I can open permissions to the system clock so I can get back to work?
Thanks for any help you can offer...

Moving this discussion to the Using Flash Builder forum.
I believe the software though is working as designed. From previous discussions I have seen the Design view was removed in Flash Builder 4.7. The users in this forum may be able to provide additional information around this.

Moving the System Clock

How do you change the position of the system clock in the menu bar? For some reason, perhaps I did it inadvertently, the system clock is now second to last on my menu bar. The battery meter is the last item. I have googled this issue and I can't seem to find any kind of a fix.

Hold the Apple button and the drag it around the menu bar.

Getting an error message when trying to reinstall iTunes - 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services.

After a recent iTunes update my iTunes failed to start. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again, but during installation an error message pops up saying: 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services. The three option buttons which can be clicked are 'Abort', 'Retry' and 'Ignore'. I tried pressing ignore, which allowed iTunes to install. However, it seemed that not all parts off the programme installed, as it wouldn't allow me to open iTunes again. Whenever I press retry it just makes the same message pop up again. How can I show that I have 'sufficient privileges'?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Thanks, but I've done that several times & it still says I need administraive privileges. I had itunes installed with no problems until I did the latest update. After that it just disappeared, so I tried reinstalling. Now I can't sync my phone. This is so frustrating!

I'd suggest being more specific. What do you mean by "it seems to have thrown windows out of the system?" The Windows virtual machines should still be in the Virtual Machines folder in your documents folder. Are they there? What version of Fusion have you updated from and to?
You might also consider raising your question in the VMware Fusion forum: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion?view=discussions&sta rt=0.

TS4003 if I am running a mac OS x that is lower than 10.7.2, is there any way to publich my iweb site to icloud (I have an iphone that meets the system requirements)?

if I am running a mac OS x that is lower than 10.7.2, is there any way to publich my iweb site to icloud (I have an iphone that meets the system requirements)? I'm using iWeb 3.0.1 and previously had my website published to mobile me.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might considerDropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)
So it won't matter whether you have Snow Leopard or Lion, you will not be able to upload your website to iCloud.

Is it acceptable for a developer to tell a user to tamper with the system clock?

Im not sure where to post this question but i cant find a a way to email Apple with this question. I need an official response from Apple on whether or not it is acceptable for a developer to tell a user to tamper and change the system clock in order to use their app.

I am actually the user. A game developer told me to do this in order to play their game temporarily because their update had a glitch. Their official response to their game forums was change date and play through the weekend until they could apply a patch. Well, in turn it messed up my daughters game because her game is a progression style game which looks at the clock. I need something somewhere that says, tampering with the clock is not approved. Only way to bring my daughters game back to current progression is to buy "diamonds" because it is a "freemium" type game. Developer that told me to change clock basically told me "tough luck, go away" andi want to take them to court for about 800$ to buy appropriate amount of diamonds.

How to set the system clock in win2000? in linux? (RH)

hi There,
I need to set the system time on a pure java application.
what is the proper way to do so? (I can't find any system property which corresponds to the system clock).
if it's platform dependent , then I need to do so on win2000 and on linux RH.
thanks

I don't know about Windows but on RedHat, I would use the date command. Check the man pages for date and look at the -s or --set options. Do a Runtime.exec to execute that.
Of course, doing the in Java is not the best option. If you are trying to synchronized clocks on Windows and Linux systems, I would use some freely available Network Time Protocol programs. RedHat has a free NTP daemon available as an RPM in the standard distribution. For Windows, theres a free program called "Net Time" that runs as a service. Both can act as clients and servers.

Reseting the system clock

After a power surge, I had to replace my motherboard. Now every time I turn on my computer, I get a message that my clock is set to before 2001 causing applications to behave irradically. I change the clock in the time and date settings in system prefs, but once I restart, the clock reverts to the "pre 2001" setting. I was told I need to reset the system clock. Can anyone advise?

lubemupski, Welcome to the discussion area!
There is a small battery on the motherboard called a PRAM battery. It sounds like your PRAM battery has failed and needs to be replaced.

Error: the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation

While trying to sync my husband's new iPad 2 to our computer, I encountered the following problem.
I currently have iTunes 10.1.1.4 installed on my computer but was told to update to the latest version of iTunes 10.2.2.
After trying to do this, I received the following error message: The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
After contacting Apple, Toshiba and Microsoft and following instructions from each of their tech support agents, I am still not able to uninstall iTunes as they all advised me to do.
The latest error message I receive is: You do not have sufficient access to uninstall iTunes. Please contact your System Administrator.
I am the administrator and am signed in as such. As you can imagine, I am quite frustrated.
A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I received the following error message: The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
I'd try something relatively simple first. Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded, and select "Run as administrator".
Does that update go through any better?

HT1926 Everytime I try and install iTunes it says "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". does anyone know what this means?

I am using my partners computer. He has iTunes on his laptop but when I went to update iTunes, it said "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I therefore deleted iTunes altogether thinking to reinstall the original iTunes and then upgrade it (i,e start from scratch) but to know avail. Is this a problem with my laptop itself? Or a problem with the internet settings?
HELP PLEASE!!

Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you?
