IPhone time when "set automatically" off by 2 minutes (AT&T?)

I've noticed that the time on my iPhone is about 2 minutes behind what actual time is. I am in Des Moines, Iowa, so perhaps there is some issue with the signal AT&T is sending, but my girlfriend's iPhone also is two minutes off.
Has anyone else noticed the the automatic time on their AT&T iPhone is not accurate?
(In my case, accurate time is the time I am seeing on Mac OS X when using the "Set date & time automatically" option in the Date & Time control panel; if I compare at www.time.gov I find the same time, so it sure looks like AT&T is sending the wrong time out.)

When time is set to automatic on the iPhone, the iPhone displays the time which is being fed to it by the tower to which it is connected at any given moment. Thus if the tower is not set correctly, the iPhone will display the wrong time. You can call AT&T to notify them of significant errors, but switching the iPhone to manual time setting is better in areas where there are significant irregularities, particularly if time stamps vary greatly between towers!

Is it normal that every time when I switch off my Iphone 5s and then I turn it on again I have to insert my pin code?

Hey terremo,
Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Make sure you enter your Apple Store account with the correct CaSe on both username and password on the AppleTV. Make sure your AppleTV is in fact connected to the internet.

Slow calc time with SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ OFF for block creation

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the slow execution of one of my calc scripts:
A simplified version of my calc script to calculate 6 accounts looks like this:
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON;
SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ ON;
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON;
FIX (
FY12,
"Forecast",
"Final",
@LEVMBRS("Cost Centre",0),
@LEVMBRS("Products",0),
@LEVMBRS("Entities",0)
SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ OFF;
"10000";"20000";"30000";"40000";"50000";"60000";
SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ ON;
ENDFIX
The member formula for each of the accounts is realtively complex. One of the changes recently implemented for the FIX was openin up the cost center dimension. Since then the calculation runs much slower (>1h). If I change the setting to SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ ON, the calculation is very fast (1 min). However, no blocks are created. I am looking for a way to create the required blocks, calculate the member formulas but to decrease calc time. Does anybody have any idea what to improve?
Thanks for your input
p.s. DataStorage in the member properties for the above accounts is Never Share

If the formula is too complex it tends not to aggregate properly, especially when using ratios in calculations. Using stored members with member formulas I have found is much faster, efficient, and less prone to agg issues - especially in Workforce type apps.We were experiencing that exact problem, hence stored members^^^So why not break it up into steps? Step 1, force the calculation of the lower level member formulas, whatever they are. Make sure that that works. Then take the upper level members (whatever they are) and make them dynamic. There's nothing that says that you must make them all stored. I try, wherever possible, to make as much dynamic as possible. As I wrote, sometimes I can't for calc order reasons, but as soon as I get past that I let the "free" dense dynamic calcs happen wherever I can. Yes, the number of blocks touched is the same (maybe), but it is still worth a shot.
Also, you mentioned in your original post that the introduction of the FIX slowed things down. That seems counter-intuitive from a block count perspective. Does your FIX really select all level zero members in all dimensions?
Last thought on this somewhat overactive thread (you are getting a lot of advice, who knows, maybe some of it is good ;) ) -- have you tried flipping the member calcs on their heads, i.e., take what is an Accounts calc and make it a Forecast calc with cross-dims to match? You would have different, but maybe more managable block creation issues at that point.

Time and date showing wrong time when set on auto since 4.1 update

hi since i updated my 3gs to 4.1 my time and date have changed by about 1 and a half hours and afew days before. i can change it manually but i dont understand why this has happened. has this happened to anyone else?

Me too.
Second time I've been late to work in two weeks thanks to Apple ** programming!
First time when I upgraded to 4.1 and the alarms stopped working if they were set to go off every working day.
Then again today when the time unaccountably rolled back to be Sunday the 7th at 5am instead of WEdnesday 10th at 9am. Waiting for the day I'm out of contract on this rubbish so I can switch to a phone with a decent OS!

Date & time : no 'set automatically' anymore....

Hi,
I don't have the 'set automatically on/off' toggle in 'settings/General/Date and Time' anymore.Does anybody else noticed that too ?
Does that mean you will have to change manually the Timezone each time you travel to another country ? This setting was very handful.

Hi,
I believe, this has something to do with your carrier.
I have 2 SIM cards from the 2 official carriers in Denmark. If I use Telia -> I can use "automatic" mode
If I use Telenor -> The setting is missing.
I just tried this test: Use Telenor and change the time way off, turn off and change SIM card.
Turn back on, and check the setting - which is set to automatic
After some time (perhaps a turn off/on) I was looking at the battery page (Slide to unlock) and then the time changed.
I have compared the 2 .ipcc files and there is a setting which differs:
<key>SupportsNITZ</key>
<true/>
or <false/>
The "true" setting is from the SIM card which can auto update the time.
The "false" setting is from the SIM card which can't auto update the time.

IPhone constantly turns its self off every few minutes

My mother came to me with her iPhone, and told me about this problem she has been having, and this is the best way I can think of to state it.
Her phone turns its self off every few minutes. It never does it while she is using it. It's only when she puts it in her pocket for a little while and then pulls it back out to use it again. It also will not turn on by doing the normal way of holding the ON button for two seconds. It will only turn on when you reset it by holding the On and Home buttons at the same time, and it seems to take much longer than it does on my 3G. It sometimes will only turn on by connecting it to the charger, because the reset method isn't working. She claims it has not had low battery while doing this, because she keeps it charged. I have observed myself to make sure, and the phone is almost 100% charged the last few times it has done this.
Any suggestions out there?

Since a doing a reset has not resolved the problem, the next step is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the backup. If no change after restoring from the backup, restore as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after either restore method, time to give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

HT1414 It has some problem about my iphone. When I turn off the phone and then turn on, it shows the screen of apple page and then show the loading page many times. What happen with my iphone?

I have iphone5s and there is some problem about my iphone. I turn off the phone and then I turn on. After I turned on, It showed the page of apple signal and then the page of loading. It used long time to show the loading page. Then it was back to page of apple and then loading page again many times. What happen with it? And what should I do?

Did you already try to reset the phone again by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
You may have to connect in recovery mode, if the phone is not recognized in iTunes:

Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages? I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it. Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC

Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

Can't SMS (regular text) with iPhone users when iMessage is off?

My iMessage is off and so is cellular data because I ran over my data for the month so I turned it off. I can send regular text messages, SMS, to people and they send, but it seems that when iPhone users reply, I don't get the message. Can anyone help me please?

The other iPhones also have to have Settings > Messages > Send as SMS > ON
Note that group SMS requires MMS and cellular data on to work.

Cannot send email from Iphone. A setting is off.

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

Was using my iPhone 4 when it turned off on its own

I tried turning it back on and it came back for a few minutes but it turned itself off again. all day this has been happening and has gotten to the point where it's turning off only a second or two after flashing the apple logo. I've tried holding the sleep/wake and home button for 15 seconds while plugged in but that didn't work. I bought it used a couple of days ago and it was working fine the day after I got it but it started having the issues today. Like I said, it's an iPhone 4 and is running the latest iOS. any help is appreciated.

Could be possible that you bought a lemon.
