HowReSet CLOCK & DATE? cant see right 2" Screen Crackd where clock icon is

brief: Is there another way to RESET CLOCK, because I can't see the CLOCK ICON which is located in upper right corner of the screen, because my screen is Cracked but just on the right two inches.
Of course, the solution is to replace the screen, but we can Not afford that anytime soon, and would like advice on alternative ways NOW to reset clock & date
Is there a way to relocate that Clockk iicon to another location on my screen? Or, or...
I have just a small 9 3/4 inch screen (12" diagonal).
Dropped & cracked my screen last year. Still works great, that's not the problem, I work arounnd it.
But I left my computer on overnite without the power cord hooked up.
I had supposed that it would just go to sleep and not screw me up. But it did.
It warns that clock needs to be reset or some applications may not work right and may cause troubles.
So far those troubles are:
I visit to some of my regular websites where II have registered, & sometimes get warning that it does not recognize me, but luckkily so far they've given me option of hitting continue & I get on my fav sites ok. So, that's not my main, problem, tho I would welcome advice on that if i can't reset my clock, but if ii can't, I'll just repost a separate query later.
My APPLE 'CALENDAR' applic, that came with this old G4, now opens to 1969, and must click up arroow year by year to get up to 2008. I'll probably post a separate !Q on that too, if nec.
Maybe I posted this to the wrong topic section and should post it elsewhere? Liike customization?
Will be VERY GRATEFUL for soolutionn & reward help with pos feedback.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Hello thelnukus,
Kappy has addressed your problem of time and date settings holding due to battery charge etc. but I wanted to address your question concerning placement of the time and date on the screen.
This can be done simply by choosing "Clock" tab in Date and Time settings in System Preferences and you can customize the clock to display as digital or analog clock on your desktop and this can be move around I believe and transparency can be set to differing levels. Once you get your battery prob worked out try fiddling round with the settings in Date and Time for the Clock.
I hope that helps some,

  • When I power up my mac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds of powering up the screen goes dark. Yet I still can the mouse arrow but nothing else.

    When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?

    Try this from another user:
    1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
    2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
    3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
    4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
    5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).

  • Hi all, I am not able to open the game centre on my ipad! When I click on the icon the screen goes white and all I can see on the screen is the battery icon on top right and internet connection top left. Nothing else happens. Please can anyone

    Please can anyone help me to open game centre. Thanks in advance.

    Try closing Game Centre via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it :
    iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Game Centre's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Game Centre 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Game Centre app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When ever i go to watch videos on youtube or any other apps, the screen goes black. you can hear the video but you cant see anything. how do i fix this?

    i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
                                                                                                                         thanks for your time and help!

    When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear.  Make it a very short quick press.
    OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright.  On long calls you have to repeat this.
    Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

  • My ipad air2 screen is black and won't come on. I can hear siri but she says she cant work right now. What do I do?

    My ipad air2 screen is black and won't come on. I can hear siri but she says she cant work right now. What do I do?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • I can open up firefox, but I cant see it on my screen (the small thumbnail says its open)

    its been two weeks since I cant use firefox at all. I am able to open it but cant see the page at all. I already uninstalled and tried to update it (but I haven't been able to)

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets off screen and continues to open there. One technique you can try is the following:
    While the Firefox window is active (you can judge by the Windows task bar, press Alt+Spacebar to display the system menu for the Firefox window.
    You may or may not be able to see the menu, but if you do, its position in an upper or lower corner provides a clue as to where the Firefox window is lurking. If it's on the right side, tap the m key and use the left arrow to move the window to the left. If it's on the left side, tap the m key and use the right arrow to move the window to the right. Similarly, if the system menu appears toward the top of the screen, use the down arrow to move the window down, and vice versa. It may take many presses. Does that work?
    If necessary, you could try deleting a settings file that stores the last location of the Firefox window. After locating your profile folder, close all Firefox windows before deleting the file. This article has more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost...

    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy... Try a Restore...

    I had to do ALL of the above in sequence, but before rebooting, I turned WiFi OFF.
    When I rebooted, I turned WiFi ON. I made sure that Location Services was ON for the Apple Store ( the one with the shopping cart).
    Then I went into the App Store.
    I did that about 3 times then voilà! The App Store appeared again.
    To summarize:
    - Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead.
    - Try App Store. If it doesn't work, continue with below.
    - Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off

  • I cant see my screen on my phone how do i get all my pictures onto my i cloud account?

    You both backup your iPhones on the same Apple ID, so when she restore her iPhone it pulled the data from the last backup (your iPhone).  She would need to erase her iPhone and restore from her back up. Take a look at this link in the restore section, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859

APPLE NOW HAVE SENT ME AN E MAIL SAYING  IF I DO THAT I WILL LOSE DATA AS I HAVE MORE STORED THERE THAN THE BASIC AMOUNT.CAPACITY. wHY THEN CANT i SEE THIS DATA?

    "I still dont understand why I dont see any of these camera roll photos (or any) when I sign in on line on my pc to my icloud account.
    If photos cant be seen there, how do you arrange for an accidently deleted photo to be restored from there into the iPad?"
    If you set up photostream correctly on your computer/ipad and instructions can be found here:
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    it automatically created photostream folder in your Pictures/my pictures folder for Windows or iphoto for Mac.
    You will find all your pictures in there, no need to go online. If you didn't use Photostream -start doing so now.
    Otherwise you pictures are included in your back up, but that is an image file. What it means you will not be able to retreive one picture out of back up. You can however restore from that back up - instructions here
    iOS: How to back up - Apple - Support
    You probably do not want to do that for one picture, or even two but the option exists and steps are also in the article above.
    "You say music does not take up i Cloud space . Does that mean it is not saved there in any way?"
    What I meant that whatever is saved - does not go against 5 gigs of storage that apple gives you - unlimited space available, but only for the stuff you purchased in itunes.
    "If it is saved but cant be seen, how do I set about restoring a music track that was deleted accidentily in the i Pad?"
    It can be seen and instructions here:
