I need help! My iPad2's stubbornly showing the wrong month, day, year and time.

This happened after I updated my new iPad2 to the iOS 5.0.1. The calendar shows a date way ahead into the future. Ex. Today is Dec. 31, 2011, 6am, Manila time but its showing Jan. 1, 2555 BE, 8am. It just got my location right. I tried resetting it at Settings but it keeps on going back to the wrong date, 2555 BE. I turned off the automatic update, and manually set the time, but It seems to insist the error. I sync this iPad with iTunes to a Windows 7 PC, it has the correct date, year and time zone. I've been following a similar thread here but I could not find it now. Please give advice that I could do on my own first before I seek Apple care coz its almost party time here. Thanks and Happy New Year!

I got several advice from other Apple users such as: restart the iPad by pressing the home button and the sleep/wake simultaneously, turn off the auto-update of date and time, make sure it's in Gregorian, sync with a computer with the right date and time and restore. I did all of the above except restore but it didn't help. I thought I should restore to the previous iOS. When I tried to restore, I learned that it'll still be in iOS 5.0.1, and since I also couldn't back up to iCloud (which freaked me out), I chickened out of it and called the nearest Apple Store. They were very kind to help me for  free.
Before I went to the store, I backed up my iPad to PC first to keep my paid apps at least. Then the Apple guy checked the problem himself and he restored it in their iTunes. After the restore, the month, day, time and year were correct. When I got home, I just synced with the previous back-up. All my apps were re-installed, my games were intact but my documents saved in some apps (like Documents to Go, PDF Expert and CHM+) were gone.
The Apple guy said, I might have encountered an Internet problem while I was updating hence the bug. I was the first case they've encountered. But they couldn't explain what the BE stands for... Before Extinction? Hope the experts shed light on this to avoid it coz I wasn't able to use my iPad or even back-up to iCloud.

  • Although my ipod shows the number of steps, calories, and time, it no longer is saving it to the history. also when I open the history it takes me to May 2010 instead of the current date. Any ideas on how to get it to start recording the history again?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • My iMac shows the wrong month everything I download or save is based in January

    If I download aome music from the iStore it shows the wrong month, the right day and the day number and the right year but the month is always January. Went into Apple Systems Preference but cannot change the month. Clicking on the date just spins it to 31 and starts at 1 without moving the month.
    On the Calendar in the preference it shows the correct day 4 month Juned and Year but above that in the smaill window it shows 04/01/2012.

    Do you have "set time automatically" checked in System Preferences? Otherwise:
    Zap the PRAM

  • Showing the Date (month & day) in the Menu Bar, Not just the Day of the Wee

    Since upgrading to 10.5 from 10.4, I've noticed that the menu bar no longer shows the date (month and day, it just shows the day of the week.
    Is there a way to get the menu bar to show the month and day again as it did in 10.4?

    Tiger had to be changed in the same way as Leopard.
    Start by opening the International Preferences panel, and clicking the Formats tab.
    In the Dates section, click Customize. Click the Show pop-up and select your choice of Short, Medium, etc. Now place the elements you want in the small "work area," by dragging and dropping them from the Date Elements section. Once placed, you can click on some elements to see other options (Wednesday or Wed, for instance). Once you've built the date string you want, click once in the work area, and hit Command-A then Command-C to select the string and copy it. Now click Cancel to close the window without making any changes.
    In the Times section, click Customize, and set the Show pop-up to Medium. In the small work area below the pop-up, place the curser where you want the date elements to start, and click to position the cursor. Now hit Command-V to paste the elements you just copied. You can further add characters and spaces to customize the look. If you want to remove an element (i.e. the year), click on it and use the Delete key. Click OK, and you'll see the results in the menubar.

  • Need help in using SQL in a jsp file to compare date and time

    hi every one,
    Actually I am doing a project using JSP. I need to compare a date field in the database (MS Acess) to the current system date and time. I have to do this in a select statement.
    I have alredy defined a variable of type Date in the JSP file and I am comparing this variable to the date in the database through a select statemant.
    Here is what I am doing
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
              java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
              String myDate=sdf.format(today);
    query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= "+myDate+" ;";
    EDate is the feild in the database and it's format is (5/12/2008 5:29:47 PM) it is of type Date/Time in MS Acess.
    when I execute the query it gives the following error
    SQL error:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'EDate <= 2008-10-16 08:10:07'.
    I hope any one can help me with that error and answer my question, I've tried too many things but nothing helps
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi,
    When the comparision is needed to be done with the current date , we don't need to send in Java
    Date then format it and compare with MS Acess Date.
    In MS Access we have Date() function which will give you the current date.
    So you can try rewriting your query as following :
    query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= Date() ;"; ---------------------
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

    I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style.  I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
    - in a chosen story;
    - on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
    - in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
    If story...
    You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
    Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
    so:
    Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
    //==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
    If other cases...
    You would need to be more accurate.
