How to fix time changing in boot camp to mac osx

After I installed Windows 7 Ultimate with boot camp on my 2011 Macbook Pro I installed the drivers from the disc and installed all the updates from software update in windows 7.
Whenever I restart into Mac OSX 10.6.8 it will change the date to the next day (or about 11 hours) and even if the automatic time set from the internet is selected it will still say this is the correct time
So i change it manually and keep it this way. But then again whenever I restart into W7 it will change back to a different time
I have had a look at this forum but with the last suggestion on the page but there was no file specified to delete
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2253940?threadID=2253940&tstart=0
Thanks and I hope i can get this fixed in a couple of days!
I might have to go into the apple genius bar if i cannot get it fixed online

As you've learned the hard way, if you were expecting an instant answer to a problem or technical question, you won't often find it here unless many other people are encountering the issue at the same moment on the same day. If no-one currently online when you post your message has encountered your specific issue or problem and been able to remedy it, you're unlikely to get an immediate response. 
In the less-active areas of these forums, questions often linger 24 hours or more before receiving a response, and many questions go unanswered far longer. That is because these are free user-to-user forums, not a paid tech support help line.
And yet, some wonderful people spend an extraordinary amount of time here being helpful: Take a look at the list of Top Participants in any Community. It is based upon reputation points. It takes decades of determined effort to achieve a 'Level 10' status!
I've been a casual user here for almost four years, and I'm barely a 'Level 3' which begins at 500 reputation points, equating to as few as 50 'correct' or as many as 100 'helpful' answers, so take any advice I've posted within these forums at your own risk.
Not being one to assume that any totally frustrated user actually searches far and wide within or outside these forums for answers, or even understands how to use the forum search feature before getting frustrated, I'll offer some links that could still be helpful...
The Boot Camp time sync issue goes back to at least 2007-2008, which predates both OS X 10.6 and Windows 7.  A popular search engine will provide quite a number of off-forum links that may or may not be helpful.
This old link within Apple Support Communities provides a couple of off-site Microsoft links to instructions for setting the system clock and synchronizing with an internet time server.  It does not specifically address OS X 10.6 and Windows 7, but OS X 10.5, Windows XP and Windows Vista: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1285
Note that you must have an active internet connection for time-sync to work properly. 
Have you set up your network connection(s) on the Windows 7 side?
Which time zone have you selected on the Windows side?
Which internet time server(s) are you using on OS X and in Windows?
This off-site post suggests using regedit in Windows to disable the Apple Time Service in Windows.

May that future responses to your questions within the Apple Support Communities be, uh, somewhat more timely.

  • How do you backup and restore Boot Camp?

    I thought I'd drop by and ask my perenial question: How do you backup and restore Boot Camp?
    I'm running Windows 7 if it matters, on a MBPn 17 2010 core-i7 and my daughter will soon be running on a MBP 13 2011 core-i7.
    I'm currently using SuperDuper! and Time Machine for the Mac side, and am backing up using Disk Utility capturing the entire Win7 partition but have no confidence that it will work if I restore it.
    What does everyone here use, and have you successfully restored your Windows 7 environment?

    For me, Paragon Hard Disk Manager Suite 2011.
    It contains Clone OS and other tools, for $49.
    I'm not sure Paragon Backup is "Apple Boot Camp" friendly or not.
    All available Paragon Hard Disk Management technologies are available in onesuite.

    While lack of mention of Apple Boot Camp in System Backup may not be an issue, I have never used it. Paragon also has volume snapshot and other Mac OS tools - but then they are not all offered in a Suite to provide NTFS, HFS, Mac repair, etc.

    Lion will have to modify the partition tables to add its own Windows 7-ish system recovery partition, so I would definitely get a good backup strategy in place - and tested - ahead of time. Contrary to the "shouldn't have any impact" I always see an impact, and also re-initialize drives when a new OS comes out (though maybe wait for the .2 release).

  • Is Apple boot camp on Mac OS 10.7 lion ready to support Windows 8 after it is set to release in 2012?

    Hello!
    Is Apple boot camp on Mac OS 10.7 lion ready to support Windows 8 after it is set to release in 2012?
    Thanks!

    I think you'll have to wait until one or both of those OS's are actually released to be able to know the answer to this question. Apple put out special Boot Camp updates for Windows7 when it came out. Past performance shows that Apple is on the ball, but nothing is locked in stone at this time.
    The only people who could really know the answer to what the beta's are planning are the same people who have signed Non Disclosure Agreements and couldn't say anything here anyway. The rest of us volunteers are not allowed to speculate too much about Apple's plans or design decisions that they have not announced.

  • How to fix blocked plugins in safari on a Mac OS X

    How to fix blocked plugins in Safari on my Mac OS X?

    Which plug-ins, specifically?
    If the plug-in was disabled by Apple, it's usually because of a security update (<cough>Flash</cough>), in which case the solution is to update to the latest ('more secure') version.
    If you're on a corporate network then certain plug-ins may be disabled by your network admins - talk to them about.
    If neither of the above apply then you should be able to manage settings via Safari -> Preferences -> Security -> Internet plug-ins

    Guitar21,
    your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

  • How to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp on late 2012 iMac

    These notes reflect the installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my late 2012 27” iMac with a 3 TB fusion drive and running OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8.4.
    After launching Boot Camp Assistant, click “Print Installation & Setup Guide” and keep this handy throughout the process.  There are specific details in the Boot Camp Guide that are not covered by my notes.
    Don’t do like I did and expect to start at 11:00 PM on a work night and have Windows 7 working before 1:00 AM - it can take much longer.  Many of the activities are best monitored instead of going to bed hoping that next morning will greet you with success.
    Download Windows 7 ISO file from Internet and burn to a blank DVD
    Insert a blank DVD
    Start Disk Utility.
    From the File menu, choose “Open Disk Image” and select the ISO to be burned.
    In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
    Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
    Be patient.  In my case the ISO burn seemed to be stuck at 80%.  I walked away for a bit and returned to find the DVD successfully burned.  This is an exception to not walking away during the Boot Camp process.
    Although you should be able to burn the ISO to DVD with any external burner, in my case I found that an Apple USB SuperDrive worked during the Windows installation whereas an otherwise reliable third party CD/DVD/Blueray burner was not recognized by Boot Camp 5.0.3.
    If you simply burn the ISO file to the DVD, the DVD will not work.  A simple check is to view the DVD’s contents after it has been burnt.  If it contains a .iso file only, then you can place that DVD in the trash and start over.
    Take some to think through how much space you want to dedicate to Windows 7 that will be taken from your OS X allotment.  If you change your mind later, you will need to start the process over, including reinstalling and reactivating Windows 7 and any other specialized software you’ve installed.  In my case, I partitioned 251 GB to Windows 7 and that left 233.7 GB free during installation.
    When you are ready to begin partitioning your hard drive, unplug all unnecessary USB drives.  This includes external drives and your Time Machine drive.  Use a USB keyboard with a USB mouse plugged into a USB port on the keyboard.  Plug the USB flash drive containing Support Software you created with Boot Camp into a regular USB port.  On the iMac, I used the port nearest the right side of the monitor while facing the screen.  You also need the USB SuperDrive plugged in with the Windows 7 install disk in the drive.  Boot Camp jumps from partitioning straight into installation.
    Although the Boot Camp Guide indicates your Mac will default launch in Windows during installation, mine rebooted into OS X each time.  When the screen goes white, just hold the OPTION button and select the Windows drive (not the Windows DVD).  Be patient.  It may look like the Mac is refusing to accept your selection of Windows, but it could be just a little slow to launch.
    If you end up installing Windows 7 more than once due to crashes, confusion or whatever, check for a Windows.old file after you’re finished.  If it exists, you can delete that file.  It’s a place Windows 7 places files from previous installs in case you need to save something.
    As of this writing, I need to use a USB keyboard to use OPTION to have the option to launch Windows 7.  Once in Windows, my Logitech K760 bluetooth keyboard works fine.  It takes too long for bluetooth to sync for the keyboard to keep up with the Mac booting up.  Although Windows 7 recognizes my second monitor and the drivers are up to date, the second monitor has a black screen and windows cannot be moved onto the second monitor.
    I hope that Apple continues to develop Boot Camp and improve the Installation Guide for future users.  When Apple advertises a feature, such as Boot Camp, there is an expectation amongst consumers that it will simply work.  When a key feature fails to live up to expectations, it reflects poorly on Apple.

  • How do I back up my Boot Camp partition to external firewire drive?

    I have a 15 GB Windows XP Boot Camp partition (FAT32). I want to back it up to a 120 GB external Firewire drive. (I know the backup won't be bootable). In OX X Disk Utility, I formatted the external drive as MS-DOS (FAT). I planned to do the backup using the Windows Backup utility.
    However, when booted into WinXP, Windows will not recognize the external hard drive. I thought I might need to create a FAT32 partion of 32 GB or less on the external drive, but I apparently can't do this in OS X or Windows (since Windows doesn't recognize the drive).
    Any suggestions on how to backup the Boot Camp partition will be appreciated. I'm mainly interested in preserving all programs and data. Ideally, a clone could be created that could be restored back to the original partition in bootable form, but from studying this and other forums, it dosn't seem to be easy to do this for a FAT32-formatted volume.

    My goal was to create a bootable clone of my FAT32 Boot Camp partition, while at the same time increasing the size of the partition from 15 GB to 32 GB if possible. This is what I did:
    1. As suggested in this thread, I used Disk Utility to create a disk image. I formatted it as MS-DOS (FAT), and made it 32 GB in size.
    2. Used the Finder to copy all files from my 15 GB Windows XP partition to the new disk image.
    The following steps were only to determine if the disk image is a viable backup:
    3. Removed the internal hard drive with my original Win XP partition, and installed a new internal hard drive.
    4. Used Boot Camp Assistant to create a 32 GB Boot Camp partition on the new internal drive.
    5. Inserted my Win XP installation disk and started the Windows installation. Formatted the new partition as FAT32. (I used the long rather than the quick format method--not sure if this was necessary.)
    6. Continued the Windows installation to the point of restarting the computer, at which time I used the Option key to boot back into OS X.
    7. Used the Finder to copy all the files from the 32 GB disk image to the new Boot Camp partition. (This overwrote a few Windows files installed by the aborted Win XP installation.)
    8. Restarted and used the Option key to select the new 32 GB Boot Camp Partition. Windows booted as usual with all files, programs, etc. from the original 15 GB partition. Windows did complain about "new hardware" and required a restart, but all appears normal.
    This indicates that the disk image containing all the files from my original Boot Camp partition is a viable backup, and can be used to restore the partition if necessary. I'm not sure if formatting the disk image as MS-DOS (rather than Mac OS extended) was necessary, or not.

  • How I fixed Time Machine

    I was having problems with Time Machine, just like many people in here. Slow transfers, error in the middle of the process.
    Here's how I fixed it:
    1. In System Preferences>Time Machine, turn off backups (the On/Off switch).
    2. In Disk Utility, select the external hard drive, then go to the Erase section (not First Aid or Partition).
    3. Choose Volume Format: +Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)+
    3.5. You can name it whatever (I left it at Untitled, then just changed it later).
    4.Click Erase.
    5. Let the disk remount itself. Should show up as a simple external drive (Firewire for me, I don't know what yours is).
    6. If asked, make this the Time Machine backup disk. If you are not asked (I wasn't), go to Time Machine preferences and manually set it as the disk.
    7. Either wait for Time Machine to back up itself, or right-click (CTRL+click) Time Machine in the Dock, then click Back Up Now.
    This worked for me and my Western Digital My Book 750GB drive! It didn't entirely solve the slow transfer problem, but it helped for sure. Took about 2 hours to transfer about 80GB.
    I hope this helps!

    Ok. Well I was desparate as trying time machine I haven't had one successful backup and had x3 kernel panics whilst TM was working in the background
    I looked at my Iomega Desktop HD- Time Machine initially set it up as HFS Extended, Journaled, Case Sensitive.
    So in Disk Utility, I wiped the drive and set to HFS Extended, Journaled
    And despite the fact that I was highly sceptical, five minutes on I am at 1.06 Gb of 35 Gb and I can actually see the progress bar moving, which is a first.
    I'll leave it to run overnight and report back

  • Does Time Machine backup Boot Camp partitions as well?

    If I have a Boot Camp partition (I do), will it be backed up by Time Machine as well?
    How can I check? I.e. how can I open that partition from Mac OS / Time Machine?

    You can backup Bootcamp Windows partition with the free WinClone to another drive (not TimeMachine)
    Runs in OS X, don't think it will get updated for Lion, so watch that new cat before jumping, it's going to brick things.
    http://download.cnet.com/Winclone/3000-2242_4-11089354.html
    Also look at the free Carbon Copy Cloner, a clone of your boot drive is hold option bootable
    TimeMachine isn't. A clone is great to have if your hard drive takes a nose dive one morning.

  • How to recover data lost with Boot Camp

    I was removing my boot camp partition when in the middle of it boot camp crashed. I went back into boot camp to check if the option to uninstall windows was still there, but it wasn't. I went to about this mac etc. and the storage didn't show my windows 7 partition but the data from the windows 7 partition was gone and My macintosh HD was missing the storage. Any Ideas on how to fix it? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense.

    I guess everyone has their own idea of what is easy. A backup, reformat, restore to me is an utter PITA. Once you have free space, that free space is still not usable by Mac OS. You have to expand the Mac OS volume to use it. Sometimes this can fail because of the weird way Apple has chosen to sequence the partitions, with the Recovery HD Partition located after the Mac OS partition, making Recovery HD in between Mac OS and Free space. Apple's diskutil resizevolume command will move Recovery HD around as part of a resize. The basic command is:
    diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0s2 limits
    That will show minimum, current and maximum resize limits. If current doesn't equal maximum, then free space has not been incorporated into the Mac OS volume. You can sometimes fix this with:
    diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0s2 R
    That will expand the Mac OS volume to maximum size. If it fails then it's worth reconstructing the HFS+ catalog with:
    fsck_hfs -r /dev/disk0s2
    That command requires the file system be unmounted so you'll need to boot off another volume - Recovery HD is fine.
    All of these are commands leverage features which the GUI doesn't offer access to.

  • How do I write to my boot camp partition with Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion?  Or how do I get my boot camp partition to show up in Paragon's "Available NTFS partitions:" panel like my external hard drive does?

    I've just set up boot camp on my MacBookPro with a freshly installed Mountain Lion and Windows 7. 
    I would like to read and write in both directions from drive to drive if possible.  I've hunted around quite a bit to try and work this out, and so far I understand that one can write to or transfer files from one drive to the other with Paragon NTFS among other softwares. 
    I noticed when I looked in my system preferences the utility "Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X" came with Mountain Lion and it will recognize an external hard drive when I have one plugged in under "Available NTFS partitions:".  However, it does not automatically recognize my NTFS boot camp partition nor does it automatically give me write access. 
    Is the Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion limited in some way? 
    Do I still need to purchase and download the software of the same name from Paragon to get the full write privilidges I want or is there something I can do to get the version of Paragon on my MAC to recognize and give me write priviledges to my boot camp partition?
    I'm open to all suggestions to get the read / write access between partitions in my boot camped drive.
    MacFUSE is also listed in the System Preferences of my machine (it also came with Mountain Lion), if that helps.  I'm still working out exactly what each of these is supposed to do and how I can use it to accomplish the task at hand.
    My boot camp drive does appear normally in other contexts and in disk utility it indicates that the drive is mounted.
    Thank you for any guidance you can give me. 

    Interesting. Comes with? you didn't have either before? Paragon is commercial and is now v. 10.0, they were the only one keeping updated and was supporting 10.7.4. I would not enable more than one.
    For writing to HFS Paragon has theirs but probably give the nod to MacDrive there.
    I never do an upgrade to a new OS over the old system, I backup (clone) and format the drive with the new OS and do the install so whatever is there I know is clean and also to keep from carrying around leftovers from years and systems past.
    I would assme Paragon is limited. Try their site and knowledge base?
