MacBook Pro Displays Wrong Time

Every time I start up my MacBook Pro, the time which it displays is wrong by a few hours. I have to go in and change it back to the right time, but once again, once i restart it, it is wrong. This problem, is not really a big deal, but it is getting extremely annoying. I would greatly appreciate help with resolving this issue. Thank you.

Since some time parameters (such as time zone setting) are stored in PRAM, resetting the PRAM may help.

MacBook Pro showing wrong time

Hi,
When I click 'set date and time automatically' in my system preferences on my macbook pro, the time is wrong-an hour behind. I live in England, so have set the timezone to London, choosing BST and also chosen 'Apple Europe' under the date and time option in system preferences. I have got used to setting the time manually, however, every time I sync my iphone, the time on there gets changed to an hour forward.
I can't work out what's causing this, and why my 'automatic date and time' on my macbook pro is incorrect.
Running 10.5.8 os x on a macbook pro, (haven't installed bootcamp.)
Thanks for your help,
Oli

Have you tried "Set the time zone automatically using current location"?

I bought this computer with no disks, upgraded to Lion
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
for some reason AHT wasn't installed
AHT is included in system disc #1.

I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours)

At first, my macbook couldn't start up. It only displayed apple logo with a spinning wheel on grey screen for hours and hours. Then I decided to reinstall the OS. I tried so many times to install but the installing time said thousands of hours remaining to complete . I left the computer for days but it didn't install OS. I tried that connecting the Ethernet cable as well but it didn't work. Then I took out all my important files by connecting it to another macbook and formatted the hard drive. Then tried to install OS again. But still didn't work. I checked on you tube and changed the hard drive cable as well. Still didn't work. I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours). Seriously looking for help.

MacBook Pro Display Rectangles on the screen

My Macbook Pro Displays Diagonal Rectangles across the screen. These rectangles also appear when I attach it to an external monitor. Also, when this problem started it will only boot in safe mode.
Here is a picture of the problem:
Any help would be appreciated.

Dou you have an ATO Graphics card? I used to have a similar problem on a Windows machine with an ATI X850XT. I tried taking out and re-installing the card. This fixed the problem for a while. I came back, tried the same, problem solved.
Don't know what causes it, though... But I don't think it's software related. Could be I'm wrong, though...

MacBook Pro display issues-is this a TS2377 problem?

Has anyone had their screen turn into back and white gigsaw puzzle pieces before displaying contents correctly?
If this is not a TS2377 issue, any ideas what could be causing it?

I have an issue which I think is the TS2377 issue - where the built-in monitor on the 15" MacBook Pro from that time period has odd blurry and blinking lines all over, and the colors in many places have gone all psychedelic.
BUT when I plut it into an external monitor via the VGA port the video is fine. I can't figure out if this could still be the TS2377 issue, or if it could be the logic board. Or, is that part of the logic board??
Thanks

I have frequent instances of my Macbook Pro beeping 3 times and then I have to forcefully shut it down by pressing the power button. What is this all about? Please help. Thank you.

Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
Run Rember first... call back with results.
Good luck,
Clinton

Resolution of MacBook Pro display - always this fuzzy??

I should have done my homework, but...
I'm very sensitive to the fuzziness of the MacBook Pro display (especially the nearly grey and poorly defined letters on Word) and, to tell the truth, it's making my stomach turn and giving me a headache. I just received this computer through work, can't return it, and I'm stuck with it for three years now. what can I do or purchase to make the display CRYSTAL CLEAR (as in laser print quality)?
Will an external monitor help? Which one?
How can my iPod touch look so brilliant and this $2,500 laptop so archaic?
Thanks for any and all help,
Ants

The reason your iPod Touch looks sharper is that it has a much higher pixel density than the MBP. Your iPod's screen is 163 ppi (pixels per inch) versus 110 ppi for the MBP. However, if it looks very fuzzy, I would agree with the other responder that your resolution isn't set to the screen's native resolution (1440 x 900) or that you are zoomed in (press control and scroll down on your mouse scroll wheel or two-fingered scroll on with the trackpad).

Using an LCD TV as the Macbook Pro display

Hey
I am trying to use a Samsung LCD Tv as the display monitor for my 15 in. Macbook Pro display. I have a DVI cord going from my laptop to a DVI-RGB adapter which is plugged into the LCD Tv monitor, but nothing shows up on the tv and the display is still on the laptop. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Assuming your adapter is valid, you try "Detect Displays" in System Prefs/Displays. Some people adjust the OS to show a monitor icon in the menu bar, near the clock, and you can access this from there also. If the Mac still detects no external display, suspect the cabling.
I really question your DVI-RGB adapter, though. That would be highly unusual - are you sure it's not DVI-SVGA, or DVI-component? Do you have the brand and model? I have run my Samsung TV from my MBP just fine with a SVGA cable and DVI-SVGA adapter.

A cracked screen (LCD) or the glass that covers the LCD? I'm a little confused what is cracked? Is your LCD operating with the crack?

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
As far as mounting the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
Shorten it to FredTC
No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard.

Macbook pro retina and time capsule problem

I have purchased a macbook pro retina and time capsule recently. I had no trouble setting up the TC, however even though it is visible in the Finder, I can not connect to it. I can not make time machine. Try to connect with my imac that has snow leopard and immediately detected.
