IBook time & date need to reset everytime it is started up
I originally posted this in the wrong discussion group for iMac G4. It is actually an iBook G4.
Every time my wife turns on her iBook, she gets a message that the time & date were set before 2001.
I've gone into system preferences and locked the correct date & time info.
Is it a battery issue or am I not setting the right preference?
Hello fabtique!
The reason your iBook date and time are reseting is due to a battery located on the logic board of your iBook. Just like a watch battery it has died because of how old your iBook is. Noting that the most recent iBook before it was discontinued was made in 2005, which is now 5 years ago, The earliest being made in 2003, 7 years ago. Alternately I think (don't know) it might have something to with the computer's PRAM which I think is responsible for things like Time and date as well as sleep (IDK)
So all in all, The solution lies in replacing the battery which has obviously died on your logic board here are two links that will tell you how to open you iBook and another for purchasing a new battery. Alternatively you could take it into a Apple Store and have it repaired (It's not obsolete yet) Deal with the issue or fix it. PS You don't need to buy the battery online they can be found at local shops (Watchmakers)

Need to reset everytime I try to connect
Infitinity is working fine on my main computer, but everytime I try to connect on any laptop I need to reset the Hub to get it to connect. I've tried several laptops and all have the same issue. On my phone it connects intermittently but a reset doesn't work with it.
This has only been happening in the last week, nothing has changed over that time to have started it though.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks.
I think I've actually found the problem, it seemed to be an issue with my new phone (BlackBerry Torch). The problem only started when I got the phone (I didnt mention it as I didnt think it was even possible to be an issue!), I returned it yesterday to get a different BB and since then I have had no issues. -
I keep getting a spinning color wheel when I start safari or mail and it holds up my iMac for several minutes. At times I need to do a hard reset as it freezes e everything ... I'm stumped! Software is up to date ... Help!

John has suggested rebuilding the Mail mailboxes. Once Mail is open, go to: Mailbox on the menu bar and select Rebuild.
As for Safari, is it opening and working if you open it before Mail and what if any Extensions are you using?
OK ... so I just restarted and opened Safari first ... no spinning ball. And I opened mail after hitting the rebuild, well, I'm missing messages from Dec. 24 - now, but it opened right away. Most messages are FB feeds, so it's not like I've lost anything important. So, initial thoughts ... John was a tremendous help, BUT, we shall see what happens when I try to open mail again ... and I'll try it first with the next restart or wake up ... so appreiciate the walk-thru on all of this! -
i dont know why but everytime i plug in my ipod touch it needs to reset, i cant even use it now. any suggestions?
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

as many of you do, I use time capsule as airport, too...
It worked fine for 6 months or so after I bought the new time capsule. (I bought it in September 2012.)
Since the beginning of this year, I had to reset, and power off and plug it in almost every week, then now I need to reset and power off and back on again every day...
When I first set up the time capsule, I followed the instruction with the manual.
But, now I am so lost and don't want to reset every day for wifi connection.
Anyone has problem like me or knows how to solve this issue?
Please help..
I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.4 & my roommates have PCs. (just in case if it helps...)For PC it is important the wireless has names that are compatible.. short.. like 10 characters.. but 2-20 is fine. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 personal only.. with pure alphanumeric password .. again 10-20 characters should be fine.
The latest firmware is a dud. Go back to 7.6.1
Open the airport utility.. click on the TC and holding the option key click the actual version number..
Go back to 7.6.1 is simple.. just select it and away it will go.. ignore future requests for upgrade.. you can also tell the utility not to check weekly for updates. You will need 5.6 utility for this I think..
So do the firmware downgrade.
Then do a factory reset and follow the name information above.. for TC name as well btw.. wireless name/s and disk share name.. which by default is data and that is fine.
So some instructions in...
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
You can also load airport utility into a pc and get access to all the settings. Untick the box for firmware updates.. it will still bug you occasionally.. regardless of the setting.. just ignore it..
You might still need to do the occasional reboot of the TC as well. -
Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...
Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later. -
Does anyone know how to access sms text messages from iphone 5c backup from icloud or itunes? Apparently SMS can be restored so data I need must be stored in backup. I need to print a series of abusive/threatening SMS messages received on my iphone 5c from one sender. I need the time, date & whatever data is stored about source/sender of messages, as well as content. How can I access this data to create a chronological record of the abusive SMS messages and can I preserve the iphone's message log specifically-- so I can access records of these texts without having to restore a back-up? I need to do this to provide evidence for my solicitor and preserve that evidence for future court proceedings, thank you.

Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -
Need Suggestion On Real Time Data Accees
Hi,
Our application (let say A) runs on * 8.1.7.4.0*
Another Application (let say B) runs on *10.2.0.4.0*
Both the application A and B exchange data through DB links.
Both the application A and B perform select and DML on other tables.
Application A has views (approx. 10 views) on application B 's table through DB links.
Application B also has views (approx. 50 views) on application A 's table through DB links.
Application A has store procedure (approx 10 SPs) through which it does insert/update on two of application B 's table approx 15K call of that procedure per day.
Application B also calls some of the application A 's procedure to insert/update data in application A 's table.
Currently both the application's data center are at the same place. But, there is a proposal/need to move application B's data center far away from the current location. Because of these we are in a assumption that DB Link over WAN will create performance issue and searching of probable replacement.
After of couple of discussion we have identified approx five application A 's tables which are frequently accessed by application B and expect real time data.
Similarly, Application A expect real time data from two application B 's table.
'Golden Gate' mechanism came in our discussion, butt it's expensive,
Can we replace this store procedure code/dml with web service call or so ??
Can anyone suggest ... what kind of approach we should take here ?Views which are residing in application A 's side use many internal tables and one or two application B s table.
I don't have idea on 'multi-master replication ' ... is it two way replication ..? ... you aware of any documentation I can refer ..? How costly it is (if you can give an idea) ?
Also, among many tables we need near real time (2 mins interval) replication on 5 tables.
MVs again have dependencies on DB link, which exactly what are trying to replace (assuming performance issue)
With fast refresh (let say 2 minutes interval) method on MVs do you think it could cause performance issue specially when data center are at different location ? -

Time/Date reset after plugged in to computer
Hi,
For the past few days, my IPod Touch (2nd Gen) has re-set the time/date settings any time I have plugged it into either my laptop or desktop to charge. It resets to January 23, 2002, and loses about six hours in the 'time'.
I googled for a solution and someone suggested a workaround was to make sure ITunes was shut down before plugging it in, but I tried that and it didn't fix the issue. The time and date are correct on both computers.
I've had it for well over a year and this is a new problem.
Any suggestions?What should I change it to? I guess I may not be understanding what you are saying.
I've plugged it into two different computers, both of which are set to the correct date and time, and both of them cause it to revert back to January 30, 2002 and take the 'time' back several hours. It's 8:47 AM here right now, and the Touch has reset to 11:49 PM after having been plugged in.
When I re-set it, I get pop-up notifications for every event I've stored in my calendar since the day I got my Touch in '09.
I did just locate my wall charger and tried it there. That doesn't mess with the time/date, so I'll just use that to charge it if there is no work-around... but I'd love to know what I could do to fix it. -
Airport express needs resetting everytime I want to use it
I have an iMac G5 running OS X 10.3.9 set up on a wireless network to a D-Link router for the internet and an airport express to enable wireless printing to an hp printer. All worked fine until I changed the security settings on the D-Link router, requiring me to reset the Airport Express. After the reset, the printer worked fine. However, when I next went to use the printer, it wouldn't work. I jumped through hoops uninstalling software and drivers and reinstalling, plugging the printer into the computer directly, posting queries to these forums etc etc. As a last resort I did a hard reset of the airport express and set it up to join the existing network and then finally I could add the printer and it worked like a dream again. So, I shut down my iMac. Next morning, I start up my iMac, pay a few bills, turn the printer on to print out receipts....nothing. The airport express light is green. But I can't see the airport express under the airport admin utility. Has doing one reset the one time meant that now each time I need to print something I will first have to perform a hard reset of the airport express? Or is it coming to the end of its life (barely 18 months). Anyone with any suggestions?

Hi,
I need to reset the Data Warehouse so that i can begin my first ETL Process. However, I'm not able to do so from DAC Client ver 7.9.5. When i click on "Tools" --> "ETL Management" --> "Reset Data Warehouse" nothing pop up's. Not sure why, all other links and windows opens, except for this. How can i get this fixed ?
Is there a way for me to do the reset manually ?
I checked on internet and found AS BELOW :-
D4 How do you run a full load (not incremental)
A: Reset data warehouse . Just truncate the S_ETL_REFRESH_DT table in the dac repository
So in our case the table to truncate will be W_ETL_REFRESH_DT rite ? Please confirm. We are scheduled to run the ETL at 6pm today.
Is there any other tables that i need to truncate as well ?
Thanks,
Saran.Hi
W_ETL_REFRESH_DT is a metadata table on which you should never perform truncate operation.
Also,Whate 'Reset Datawareshouse' does is it just updates last_refresh_dt of w_etl_refresh_dt to NULL.
So,all you need to do is
update w_etl_refresh_dt set last_refresh_dt=NULL;
commit;
Hope this helps.......

Hi, If I play a single episode of a full season on Apple TV / I-Phone / I-Pad, the last played adds the date to all episodes in that season, is it a setting I need to reset / update - thanks Paul
Does TV Shows show as a category under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes ? If it does, and that series is still in your country's store, then it should show there and you can download it from there (click the cloud icons) onto your Mac's iTunes library - you can then sync the episodes to your phone.
