Imac clock needs to be set and bluetooth doesn't remember ethernet connection

My Imac is less than 2 years old.  Upon startup, I am getting the error message "You computer's clock is set to a date before Jan 1, 2008.  This may cause some applications to behave erratically."  It also doesn't remember which ethernet connection it had last in the bluetooth menu.  I have to choose it everytime.  What's wrong with my mac?  Is it the battery?  If so, why is this happening now when I've only owned the machine (purchased brand new) less than 2 years?  Could it be something else?

I HAD this problem with my Power Mac G5. The "before date" was different and my date and time were correct in the menu bar! The message appeared on December 16, 2011 and on January 16, 2012. Then on January 21 I pressed the button to turn the g5 on. The light came on then went out. SILENCE.  I tried again but NOTHING. I didn't do the SMU thing as I assumed it was the power supply which I had allready replaced once (in about 2007). I hope it wasn't just a battery, because I had the hard drive put in a cradle and am about to gut the G5 so I can use that beautiful case for something else! Did you ever figure it out?

    My bad?
    You're original response was questions/post  about an iMac. Now you've edited it to ask about a Mac Pro?
    You can more easily add internal drives in a Mac Pro.
    Not too terribly easy to add/replace drives in an iMac.
    If younhave questions about a Mac Pro, try posting in the Mac Pro forums.
    Much more knowledgeable users there.

    Wifi and bluetooth doesn't work on my iphone 4s ios 6.1.2 since 1 month! Please help

    Hi!
    I had the same problem, after trying all resets and sugestions the problem persisted.
    I took it to my carrier and they done their own test and gave me a new iPhone. Simple.
    Problem solved!
    If your Iphone is under warranty don't worry about it. But try a hard reset.
    Good luck!

  • Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

    Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
    I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
    Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
    I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
    THANKS in advance!

    Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

  • Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend who had it password protected and he doesn't remember the password.Is there a way to get around this without wiping the computer?I don't have any of software discs and can't update or delete anything.Thanx

    Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?

    Hello,
    Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
    The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
    You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
    System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.
    Best of luck

  • DeskJet 450 and bluetooth module...no connection.

    Hi There,
    I just wonder if there is anyone who can help me with setting Bluetooth connection between my Mac Book Pro and HP DeskJet 450. I have recently bought Bluetooth module card CB004A for above mentioned printer, however for some reason I can’t establish any connection between laptop and the printer itself. I am using OS 10.5 and Bluetooth assistant, but this utility can’t find any bluetooth device near by. Bluetooth module is correctly inserted and power light is on.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Its HP branded module but HP website does not provide any solid informations about any drivers for this module. I did googled around but there is no any subjects, which may help me tho.
    Thank you

  • HT201257 How can I run the hardware test when my USB ports and bluetooth doesn't work?

    The USB ports and the Bluetooth suddenly will not work on my Mac Mini (2008). There is very little I can do except using Remote Desktop. To run the Hardware Test, the D key has to be pressed during startup. I got no key to press. Is there any other way to do this?

    Sorry, focused on bluetooth issue. If USB and bluetooth are knackered, try an SMC reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • After setting up bluetooth with my car , nano connection fails

    followed instructions to pair and connect, stereo says connected , nano says failed

    Same problem? My partner bought the latest iPod nano, tried to pair it with the car stereo in her MINI. The stereo recognised the iPod, said it was successfully paired with it, but the iPod says the connection failed. I cannot find anywhere that confirms whether the MINI (2011 model) has bluetooth that supports A2DP. If anyone knows for sure, I'd appreciate knowing.

  • My six year old set up the restrictions code on my iPad and he doesn't remember the code he used. How can I find out the code. I already tried reseting the iPad and it did not work.

    How can I retrive the passcode for Restrictions? I already tried reseting my iPad to factory settings but did not work.

    I believe there is a way to reset the settings only, but I'm not sure if that applies to restrictions. Maybe there is a way on the computer?

  • Help....can't access iTunes and iPod doesn't work when connected

    Ant ideas? I get an error message when I try to open iTunes,,,,iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close....I have reinstalledseveral times...and when I try to sync my iPod using other programs( rhapsody(, it makes a wierd whirring sound and locks up the program.....

    Well no, sending an error report to Microsoft about an Apple program won't get you anywhere.
    Why not tell us the error message?
    edit - Was that it, just that dumb generic message? How about if you try a shift-start of itunes? Press _and hold_ the shift key while starting itunes, and choose to create a new itunes library - does that get you any further?

  • Linksys WRT54 and WRT110 doesn't pass internet connection through it

    Hi guys,
    I have a WRT54 and recently got a WRT110 to try to add another access point since our house is too big for just one. After trying to make it work, the direct connections do not work anymore. If I connect directly (through a coupler) from the cable modem, the internet works fine on my computer. When I connect the supply cable to the router, then connect my computer through either router, I just have a local connection to the router. There is no internet access. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!

    You need to configure you router with the cable modem. Follow the link for cable configuration. Once you get a router working then you can add another router.

  • Bluetooth doesn't want to connect with Blackberry 8830

    I hope someone can help. I have a MacBook and a Blackberry 8830 (Curve). I gone through the Bluetooth Assistant and it shows a passkey which I've entered into my Blackberry but the computer never connects with the phone. I want to have Daylite via Dialectic to dial my Blackberry. The only time the computer shows connection to the Blackberry is when I configure the device but as soon as the configuration process is done and you click Quit - the computer disconnects from the phone.
    The phone shows that the computer is a Paired Device.
    Suggestions?
    Thx.
