Loosing Time and Date Setting

Well hello altogether. I couldn't find an anwser to my question. Every time I'm cleaning my powerbook I take out the AC and the Battery avoiding to start the PB (maybe 2 minutes). When I start the PB again after putting the Battery and the AC back in, the time and date settings set back to 1970...
As far as I know, it was not like that from the very beginning.
The PB and the Battery are about one year old.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Welcome to the Discussions!
That would be normal since what you are really doing is resetting the PMU.

  • IPad 2 keeps on loosing time and date

    Hi
    I keep on having to reset my time and date under the settings tab. I have set it for the correct time zone. It is especially noticeable when I turn iPad off.

    Do you have

  • Clock looses time and date, Clock looses time and date

    Clock losses time & date when battery dies whats my problem?

    Well, probably the reason that would happen is that when the iPod is asleep, a tiny bit of the battery keeps the clock alive. If it is completely deprived of all power, that it wouldn't be able to keep that small process going. Just make sure to not let the battery die entirely, and it should be fine. I usually keep my iPod plugged in, but if I can't, I stop using it when I get the 20% battery warning. If you put it to sleep when you get this alert, there is plenty of juice to keep the clock alive in the background for quite a while.

  • Can not set time and date fax setting on officejet 4620

    Can not set the time and date on Officejet 4620 when faxing.  There are no setup options available.  The log always shows "Jan 00  00:00 AM".

    The time and date setting should be under the setup tools or fax setting in the printer control panel.1. Click the wrench icon on the control panel of the printer.
    2. Scroll to Tools.
    3. Scroll to Time and date.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 fax confirmation time and date fields has all zeros

     My fax confirmation sheet for the time and date of my HP Officejet Pro 8600 prints all zeros.  How do I reset the time and date for this function?

    Hello rschne,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the date and time being all zeros on the fax confirmation.
    Is the time and date set on the front display of the printer?
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to assist further.

  • Where can I find the current time and date of Time Capsule?

    I have a home network consisint of 2 x Time Capsules and 1 x Airport Express.  All is working fine.  I would like to set up access control for one machine connecting to the network and I can see I can do this under Access Control on the Airport Utility.  My question is where can I find the current time and date setting for these devices? 
    I can set them to use the time.apple.com server to set the time automatically, but I can't find where to see the current time and date of the device.  The only place I can see reference to the time and date is on the logs and statistics under the Advanced tab of the AirPort Untility.

    I don't think you can change the time and date on the TC itself, it just connects to a time server (and you set your own time zone).

  • Nokia 6131 time and date

    The time and date setting on my Nokia 6131 keeps going back to the default setting every time i switch the phone on . ( I turn off the phone overnight ) No other memories are affected only the time and date. I have had the phone 2 1/2 years ,this has just started to happen 2 weeks ago.
    Has anyone got any ideas on what could be the problem please.
    Redtwincam

    The age of the phone leads me to think that the auxillary battery (which powers the clock even when the phone is off) is dead. You can head to a Nokia Care Center to get it fixed.

  • My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time  and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed.  My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

    My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed...  to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time.  The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time.  The phone can not find my time zone any more.   The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time.  What is  happening? Ideas?

    just sorted mine went to
    settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
    then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
    this did sort mine

  • Can't get past the time and date intial set up screen can anyone please help?

    We purchased Apple TV last night, hooked everything up according to the directions, until we get to the Setting Time and Date Screen, which Apple TV- for more than 12 hours now, has been trying to establish.  We've set the time zone both manually and automatically, I have emailed and tweeted Apple Support but no help so far, this is my last plea before I return it.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

    You need to set your location to where you are, not where you might like to be.
