Imac w/ maverick, time not updating

Been having a weird problem for a while. I have an imac , running os x mavericks. When I wake from sleep, I have the wrong time. It is often just a few minutes off, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes. But it won't update until I go into the date & time system preferences. It will then update the time automatically, or sometimes I need to deselect and reselect the automatic time & date feature.
Any hints on how to correct this issue? I've never had this problem before. Seems like the time is not updating when the imac is sleeping.
(the server i'm using is time.apple.com)
Thanks

Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, and hit the return key:
*defaults read /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences*
CMD+F, enter "com.apple.preferences.timezone.selected_city"", and hit the Next key.
Peruse that section and ensure that it matches what you selected in the Date & Time prefPane.

I am updating my Imac to Mavericks but email updated does not progress

I am updating my IMac to Mavericks but email update does not progress.

You can't go back. There is an iPhone YouTube in the App Store. You can also use the mobile site.

IMac freezes while Time Machine updates the back up. What to do?

Ever since I upgraded to Lion my iMac freezes or nearly freezes for 5 - 10 minutes every hour while Time Machine updates the back up. What to do?
I have tried everything I can think of but its only improved from total freeze while Time Machine backs up to freeze with an occasional few seconds of activity.
I am really fed up with this.

When I first updated to Lion everything was a mess with freezes happenng constantly like every two or three minutes. Then when looking at the app store I noticed in purchased items that Lion was showing install instead of installed so I downloaded and installed again.
After this install every time Time Machine updated a backup my iMac froze for about 5 or 10 minutes while the backing up was in progress. I was getting really fed up and started this thread. Then one morning I got up and the iMac would not start up. It just sat there with the progress thingy spinning. I started in T mode to look at it from my MacBookPro and two copies of the HD appeared. Both showing zero files. I ran Disk utility on the MacBookPro to try to fix the disk. It showed 8 copies of the disk and all not reparable.
I then created a startup USB drive using my MacBookPro, used it to start up the iMac and restored everything from the previous day's backup. Since then it has been running smoothly with no freezes so maybe the answer is simply to restore a recent backup.
I am using Imation external drives and I don't believe the problem is drive specific.

Last Logon date and Logon time not updating in table USR02

Hi,
Please help us on this. After customer successfully logged in the webshop, we are checking the table USR02 in CRM system and the Logon date and Logon time is not updated. Because of this, the customer will be locked after certain number of days. When we check it in ECC system, customer's last logon date and time is updated. Can you tell us what could be causing this? Any advise what we need to check? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Mike

Hi
1. Please check if the USAPPLREF table in ECC has the correct mapping done between the LOGON User and the Sold-to party (Customer)
2. Please check the validity of those user in SU01 user data.
3. Please check the USERS data from the USERADMIN Link (if it is configured in your scenario through XCM settings for USERS)
Hope this will help.

Why are the date and time not updating in backups.backupdb folder?

I just started using Time Machine on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. After the initial full back-up and first few updates, the backup folder (on an external 1.5 TB Firewire drive) continues to show the original "date modified" of the very first back-up and lists the size as a ridiculous 2.48 GB. (Using BackupLoupe, I know it actually is 280 GB, reflecting the size of my internal HD). Any idea why this folder's info is not updating in the finder (even using "Get Info")? Are my back-ups really there? (It certainly seems so according to BackupLoupe).

First, the best way to view or restore from your backups is via the Time Machine display, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15. Using the Finder is not recommended.
Do not worry about the dates. First, the date modified only applies to the "parent" folder; that's not the Backups.backupdb folder, but the one inside it that's named for your Mac.
Don't worry about the sizes, either. On Leopard and Snow Leopard, the size of a backup folder was the total size of all the items that were on your Mac at the time of that backup (less exclusions). On Lion, however, it's the "unique size" -- the size of items that appear only on that backup.

RUEI 12.1.0.3.0 - Collectors Status Okay but Last Update time not updated

Hi all,
Under System > Status > Collectors Status
Status shows OK but Last Update Time is not updated. The last update time is frozen.
Anyone has a similar experience? Would someone help, please?
Regards,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
that seems odd indeed. would not know the cause or any sensibl explaination unless I have system details, Can you pls file an SR for this issue and upload the helpdesk file to the SR?
a helpdesk file is created under system >>maintenance>>helpdesk report
It will create a zip file that we can read in support, see the events the system is capturing, analyze your configuration. That will allow us for very quick follow up. if you want me to track it internally at Oracle pls send me the SR# in a direct mail: [email protected] -- I'm the responsible product manager for RUEI so happy to follow up on this.

Time not updating immediately

I've noticed that the time is not updating immediately or accurately when I turn on my phone. It started about a week ago. When the screen first comes up, it will show something like 4:57, then quickly changed to 5:33, however, the correct time will be 5:43. It continues to keep time, but can take 10-15 minutes to finally sync to the correct time. Very annoying. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?
Additional info: Just had original iPhone replaced at Apple Store with another original. Software is 2.0.2

still experiencing the problem with the delayed or out of sync time and also having the issues of not receiving phone calls, text messages, and voice mail messages at the time of call or when the phone is on. time is usually 12 - 27 minutes slow, i've actually clicked the top button and the time showed 1:27PM and noticed I missed the call at the same time. essentially, i am not receiving my phone calls (i literally answer about 1 out of every 9 calls). the genius bar is no help, giving me the good ol suggestion of "replacing" my phone for a mere "$199" when they really should be saying, get a new phone. if you have the same problem with the 2G iPhone, I implore you to add your story about your problem to the thread.
Thanks,
VJ.

Hi
some useful (maybe) suggestions in this thread. Not the only person to find that clearing /private/var/db/ntp.drift helps.
Does the 'reach' column of the output of this Terminal command show 1 or greater? any change with a different server specified?

Help please with iPhoto Update on Maverick. Not updating!

iPhoto not work and not updating with apple store.
Help please!

I'm having the same exact problem after upgrading to Maverick.
The App Store shows I have two updates, one for iPhoto and and one for iMovie. When I try to install, I get the following 3 messages:
"Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again."
"We could not complete your request.
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)"
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)"
My macbook pro was a refurbished computer purchased online through Apple.com two years ago. It arrived preinstalled with Lion and did not come with any DVD's or installation disks. It is an early 2011 Macbook Pro.
It appears that I have iPhoto 9.1.5. After downloading Maverick the application will not open now. The application icon has a circle with a slash through it.
It appears that I currently have iMovie 11 and seems to be working fine. I am able to access and open the application.
How do I resolve this problem so I can update iPhoto to work again?
Thanks!

12-month old iMac running Mavericks will not run Yosemite

I have an iMac 21.5", bought new in September 2013 and currently running Mavericks with no problem. The OS is on the internal Mac HDD while Time Machine is on an external HDD. Previous OS updates have installed OK.
Yosemite however will not run. After installation I can log in with no problem and all seems well -- the first time. All attempts to log in after the first produce the Apple logo and progress bar, but the bar advances only about one third of the way and hangs up, even when left for an hour or more. Nothing at all can move it -- all I can do is reboot by powering off/on. No login appears, just -- the logo and progress bar, which starts to run then stops as before.
If I reinstall Yosemite then I get one login as before, followed by the same failure -- I have now re-installed three times.
I have tried rolling back to earlier (pre-Mavericks) OS versions on Time Machine before installing Yosemite -- same result.
Right now I am back on the previous Mavericks. All is OK and I can live without Yosemite, but I am becoming concerned for future-proofing my apps. Newer versions, for Yosemite, are not going to run.
Any help would be appreciated please.
Best wishes to all.

Sadly it did not last. Yesterday it again froze on login and this time Safe Boot got me nowhere.
No doubt if I carry on experimenting I can sort it out, but I can longer justify the long breaks from my work. I have rolled back via Time Machine to my last Mavericks-based save, and there it stays until someone at Apple gets to grips with Yosemite. Or replaces it, which I expect won't be long . . .
It just is not good enough to tell the consumer that they must accept bugs with a new release, or that it's all their own, or their system's fault or that they should get help from a support forum -- any clerk should be able to sit down and just use it. If a machine was running OK with an existing OS, then it should seamlessly switch to the new without calling for a Masters in IT to figure it out. No ifs or buts. We pay a premium price for a Mac and deserve better than this from Apple.
From my standpoint, Yosemite is without doubt the worst beast of an OS -- from any source -- that it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. This is my third Mac over the years, and at this rate it's my last -- for all Microsoft's failings, I have never encountered anything like this with Windows.

System Time Not Updating When Sleeping.

If I put my iMac to sleep, the system time does not appear to be updated until I manually wake the computer. For example, it I put the computer to sleep at 1:00PM and then manually wake it up 15 minutes later the system clock will display 1:00PM for the first few seconds and then jump to 1:15PM.
The only reason this is a problem is my scheduled wake ups are not working and i suspect this behavior may have something to do with it. Is this normal behavior?

still experiencing the problem with the delayed or out of sync time and also having the issues of not receiving phone calls, text messages, and voice mail messages at the time of call or when the phone is on. time is usually 12 - 27 minutes slow, i've actually clicked the top button and the time showed 1:27PM and noticed I missed the call at the same time. essentially, i am not receiving my phone calls (i literally answer about 1 out of every 9 calls). the genius bar is no help, giving me the good ol suggestion of "replacing" my phone for a mere "$199" when they really should be saying, get a new phone. if you have the same problem with the 2G iPhone, I implore you to add your story about your problem to the thread.

OS X time not updating

Hi Guys,
I am experiencing a weird problem which I do not find a solution for. The time in my menubar does not get updated. It only does if I click on it and the submenu expands. See images (first image no action taken, second image I clicked on the time) and notice the mismatch between the system preferences menu time display which is correct and the incorrect time display in the menu bar.
1) 17:26 vs 17:27 incorrect display
2) On click it updates correctly (only once, keeps stuck on that value than)
The problem solved itself by rebooting, but then reappeared out of nothing. It's kind of nasty if you cannot trust your time display :-/
Thanks for every help.
Tobi

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Language & Text ▹ Region ▹ Region: your country

IMac Awakes Unscheduled - Time Machine Updates - Reverts to Full Off

My iMac is manually placed in sleep mode at night. This morning it would not awake normally. However, startup achieved only through on/off button.
Follows are the first 5 entries from All Messages (console):
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel System Wake
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel USB caused wake event (EHCI)
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel E:[AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController][StartInterruptPipeRead] ClearPipeStall failed with error 0xe00002ed.
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel [InterruptReadHandler] Received kIODeviceNotResponding error - retrying: 1.
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM mDNSResponder[23] NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.0.1:53
These messages indicate that the iMac was provoked into unscheduled awakening at 2:45 AM.
There are further entries covering the following few seconds, but no "obvious" indication when full shut down was achieved (all messages have been retained).
Are there any explanations for why this awakening/shut down took place?
Advised further steps on my part?

Executing "Repair Disk" from Disk Utility (bootable backup) reveals no obvious problem.
Unless this becomes a known fluke, I'll just wait until the next time it occurs.
I now suspect that this has happened at least two other times in the past 9 months. I say this because I found that it was necessary to use the on/off button to activate the iMac (which should have been in sleep mode). On those occasions, however, I failed to check the Console for confirming messages...

Home hub 3 time not updating

Hello, every since the clocks have gone forward the time on my router has stayed the same. Isn't it meant to auto update? I have tried restarting it and this doesn't help. The reason I'm asking about this problem is that it throws off all the other functions like power save mode by an hour which can be inconvenient at times.
Thanks
Thanks
Solved!
