How do I fix a fast clock?

the Clock on my toshiba PC runs fast. If I do not go into the Pontrol Panel and correct the date/time every other day the clock will become around two to three hours fast. Is there a fix for this? I'm familure with computers so I know it's nothing that I'm doing. It has to be someing in the Operating System.

Are you running one of the new Intel iCores? If so, do you have it on Turbo? If not, is your processor overclocked? Are you running VMware or a dual-boot system?
My advice is to sync your clock with time server. Saves time hunting down a reason you may not want to change. Do this:
* Open Date and Time: Start > Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Date and Time.
* Click the Internet Time tab, click Change settings.
You might be prompted for an administrator password.
* Click "Automatically Synchronize with an Internet Time Server"
* Select a time server & click OK.
If you have an option as to how often to update, set it to once a day or twice a day - an interval that would make the time gain not be so visible to you.

My phone will only charge when completely dead. When charging it turns on as usual, however it discontinues its charge when the screen comes on. It won't charge again until it dies from 1% how do I fix this fast. I need my phone daily for work.

If changing out the charging unit and the cable doesn't work, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Browsing in Safari has gone slow, Chrome 5 is super fast, how do I fix it?

Hi everyone,
I've been experiencing slow browsing speeds in Safari for some time now, and I've always thought that it was my ISP. Eventually I got used to it and I stopped worrying about it. Today I downloaded Chrome 5 out of curiosity and I was blown away! I mean, this thing is so instant on almost every page! Then I remembered that Safari used to be somewhat like that some long time ago...
So what on earth is going on, how do I fix it? I don't want to have to rely on Chrome because that doesn't fix iTunes, which is equally slow when browsing the iTunes store. When I mean slow, I don't mean that it is unusable like some other people have reported. It's maybe x5 times slower than Chrome. I.e., pages don't just appear instantly, but I can instead see the individual images and text that comprise them taking their time to load. Some benchmarking in the developer tools shows that the delay is attributed to both longer latency times per resource, and at times actual loading times too. Benchmarking a complex page reveals that it needs 1.2sec in Chrome 5, and almost 5sec in Safari 5 on my computer. So there is certainly something weird going on there.
I have tried a few things that have been suggested to others, but none worked. Also, the DNS in my preferences points to the router within my intranet, not to some bizarre external site (i.e., 192.168.0.1). I am connected to the router with a cable. The problem first appeared long time ago when I was working on a MacBook Pro. The problem persist till today on my iMac 27", which came fresh with OS X 10.6.3 - I did use the migration wizard though to transfer all my stuff from my Mac Book Pro to the new iMac. I can verify that the problem persists even with Safari 5, without any plugins added to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dimitris

I haven't installed any plugins as far as I can remember. I tried looking for menu "HOME > Library > Plugins" in Safari, but could not locate it. Perhaps it is a path in the file system? In that case, I don't have a Plugins subfolder (i.e., I only have <home folder>/Library/).
A also just tried OpenDNS out of curiosity, and there was no improvement. Chrome however became just slightly slower. Also, I would like to alert other members of the forum that may read this thread, that openDNS makes money by selling their browsing preferences to advertising agencies (refer to their small print for more details). I also tried Google's similar service (http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-talk/google-dns-8877.html) which is supposed to respect privacy (again, according to their terms and conditions), however that still did not improve the situation. Again, Chrome was just slightly slower. At the least, I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that my ISP offers really fast DNS resolution

Hello, my Macbook now getting slow, how can I make it fast and fix it?

How to make my Macbook fast and kill the risks?

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                  The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                  The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                  The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                  Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
     1. Carbon Copy Cloner
     2. Data Backup
     3. Deja Vu
     4. SuperDuper!
     5. SyncTwoFolders
     6. Synk Pro
     7. Synk Standard
     8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Means you have an incompatible Safari extension installed. Look in the /Home/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder for the offending plug-in and delete it.

Your MacBook is using the big screen as the Presenter Display, and the MacBook Air display as the Show display. Tap the 'x' key to swap them during the show.

If i export my project, it runs much faster than in the canvas. How can I fix that?

If i export my project, it runs much faster than in the canvas. How can I fix that?
I'm from germany, sorry for my english!

When you export your project, it is "compiled" into video format. Any player will play it at its frame rate.
Motion is a compositing application. It has to make many more times the calculations needed to animate everything and 90% of the time, it's just not possible for Motion to keep up with "real time". It's to be expected. Learning to live with that fact will make life a lot easier for you, I promise.
There are a few things you can do to help speed up Motion:
Reduce temporary play ranges to no more than about 5 seconds at a time. You can move the Play Range In and Out markers from section to section. Motion does all of its real time rendering in RAM. The longer the play range, to more it has to work managing that memory.
Remove Preview Icons from the Layers list ( View menu > Layers Columns > Preview will toggle the views)
When you play your animation, turn off on screen guides: (command - / will toggle onscreen guides)
In Motion 5, reducing the quality of playback from the Render menu does not make a lot of difference anymore, so you might as well keep the default settings of Dynamic, Full and Normal on. However, Motion Blur, Frame Blending, Field Rendering, as well as the lighting options will affect playback, sometimes by quite a lot. So if you have Lights, turning off Lighting, Shadows, and Reflections will get back a lot of real time playback speed (just remember to turn on all that you need before rendering, or these things will be left out of the export!)

The iPod and the iPhone battery, drains very quickly. Either you play games or listening to music. It's natural. You just have to charge it every time. For me it's like every two days.

Audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

While I don't listen to audiobooks on myh iPad, the following might apply in your case:
When you navigate to the player controls in the iPod app, in older OS's, and perhaps still in the Music app in iOS 5, you will see a variable speed control on the right hand side of the scrubber bar. Sequential taps on that change the speeds.
This does appear in spoken content only, I think, as I see it in podcasts all the time. It's not there for video or music content, so I'd expect it to appear for Audiobooks as well.

The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that?

The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that? Or just wait till Mac release a new version update, also some game and apps doesn't open or when open they close, please help!!!

Start by closing all apps and resetting your iPad and see if that helps with any of your issues.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close all of the apps on the iPad this way.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When listening to a podcast the voices are talking to fast to understand, how can I fix this?

I am trying to listen to a podcast and the voices are like the chipmunks talking. How can I fix it?

Actually - sounds enertaining .
There is an adjustment in the app for speed. shows up in the upper right corner of the podcast, I think, at least for video podcasts.
If that doesn't help, try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
