Macbook Pro- time and date changes to random?

My 2011 Macbook Pro's battery died. I plugged it in, and it turned back on. After starting up, I got a message saying:
Your computer's clock is set to a date before January 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erratically.
And my clock & date was, in fact, set to an incorrect time and some date in 2000. I just corrected the date and it was fine.
Any idea why this happened/if it's a sign of a problem?

Ok so i have a Macbook. It shut off. So i was like ok ill just log back on no worries. Then its time got set to (JANUARY 1 2000) i am an admin on my computer but when i go to date and time i cannot change the date and time? i can click the golden lock pad in the bottom right corner but when its unlocked i am still unable to change the date and time ANYONE PLEASE!! HELP ME !!

Random Clock Time and Date Changes

My clock time and date changes randomly. I have reset the iPhone and updated its software but it still changes. Can anyone help?

That just happened to me too! It started yesterday April 27 and did it today too. I think it changes around like 1pm-1:15pm. In order to get it to change back to the right time, I just turn off my phone then turn it back on. But that doesn't fix the problem. I don't know why its doing this! :[

RE: Time and Date Changed by itself

The date and time will change to the wrong one automatically especially after the batt died. This repeated itself regardless on how many times i readjust the time and date to the right one. Someone please help me.

I had the same problem today. I also have the iPod 4g, no problems up until today. First make sure you calender is set to "Gregorian, you can do this by going to Settings --> General --> International, and you will see the calender options, mark Gregorian. Still didn't work? Try this: I experimented a little, and what i did was: First, I went to Settings --> General --> Date and Time --> Set Date & Time (before doing this make sure you're in the correct time zone) and here you can change the time and date. But, if it changes automatically, go to the date, and you may have the same problem here, but here's what i did. I couldn't change the month, or day, but i could change the year. Change the year to 2011, and then all the other options should come up. Hope this helped!

My macbook pro keyboard and trackpad lock up randomly

In the last day or so, my mac has started locking up the keyboard and trackpad randomly. It happened to me a couple times yesterday completely at random times. Once when I was playing a game, and another time when I was just browsing the web. I had Mavericks 10.9.3 at the time of the first lockup, then updated and the second lockup occurred under 10.9.4. I have a 15" mid-2012 macbook pro.

I have to hard restart the computer by holding down the power button. Closing the lid like in the issue with the retina mackbooks does nothing.

New MacBook Pro Time Machine Data

Hi guys,
I just got a new MacBook Pro and I want to transfer stuff from my old MBP, but not all of it. I only want to transfer over my emails (Mac Mail), documents, photos and music. Nothing else. No applications or anything. Is there any specific way of doing that? Can't really find a way. Thanks for your help!

two options, hard drive or migration assistant
Migration Assistant
After your Mac is up and running, with at least one user account, you can use the similar Migration Assistant app to transfer those same categories, with the same restrictions. This is mainly used to move an account from one Mac (or it’s backups) to another Mac that’s already set up. (Accounts transferred this way may have problems, especially permissions problems with files already on other drives, including backups.)
If you have any user accounts on the new Mac with the same name as any you want from the old Mac, there's a conflict. See the pink box in the Using Migration Assistant page below.
Note that user accounts transferred via Migration Assistant may lose permission to see and restore from files on other volumes, including backups.
But if you're already got data you need to keep in any of those other accounts, see Transferring files from one User Account to another.
For details and instructions, see the appropriate page:
Using Migration Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion
Using Migration Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard
Using Setup Assistant / Migration Assistant on Panther or Tiger

Ipod touch always changes the time and date when synced

Since I got my touch, even before any updates etc, every time I sync it the time and date changes, usually back about a week or so. Anyone else got this problem or any solution as its really annoying me. A cutting edge bit of kit that has practically every function that works so well and the clock and calendar cant keep time? weird....

Not true in all cases, I updated to 2.0 and had 2 problems: One App had a Bug *NOT Apple`s fault*, and the second was another App ( again, not Apples fault ) that went back to home screen after opening. This was solved by a simple reset ( I have the first batch of Touches, 16 gb ). And the battery thing, I haven`t noticed it at all, I have an almost full charge, and have been using it for 4 days, never shut it down, only sleep mode when not in use.

Why is my macpro reseted time and date?

Ok,eventually my macpro reseted his date and time to something about 2001... The point is,that i bought this laptop from a friend few months ago, and i even forgot to ask for a login password,and after that and didnt even consider reseting users. The problem with the time and date change,came another problem,i cant even use safari regulary,on sites such is facebook,or even apple .com,without getting a verification security verisign,without blocking the site that i am trying to get in to. Only way is to "trust" that site is manually sign it as "trusted" with your login and a password from your mac. Which i dont know,even my friend dont know the password,the one that i bought it from. Just to make some things straight,its not stolen,i bought it from an original owner,no matter how awkward this situation looks like. Thanks in advance for a any ideas.

Hi all
I have the same problem. When I put the touch to sleep, it seams that during the sleep phase, the time stands still and after power it on again, the time & date is reseted to the default settings.
Hope someone have an idea or a solution for this problem.
Cheers, istvan72

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to new Mac. If I run Time Machine and "inherit" the old backups will TM take up where I left off, or delete and overwrite the current data?

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to the new Mac. I want to continue Time Machine on the new Mac and retain the history. An option is to "inherit" the old Time Machine. I want to make sure this does not errase the current data, but creates a current backup.

Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

MacBook Pro is forgetting time and date and wep password

Hi,
My Macbook Pro is forgetting the time and date even though I have automatically set time and date checked.
It is also forgetting it's wep password.
This is a pretty new computer.
I've seen a few posts about this, but it doesn't seem like anyone has a solution yet. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem and it started right after the Apple Store replaced the logic board in my MacBook. Every time I restart the computer, it says that none of my wireless networks can be found and when I select my network, I have to re-enter the password. It warns me that the date and time were forgotten. Also, two firewall alerts come up asking if I want to allow access to a DNS agent and something else that seems to be related to wi-fi access.
I'm considering tossing out some preference files or resetting the NVRAM as troubleshooting measures.

Why does my Macbook pro keyboard and trackpad randomly become unresponsive forcing restart in OSX Mavericks?

Randomly when using OSX Mavericks, since installing yesterday, my mid-2012 Macbook Pro keyboard and trackpad freeze and become unresponsive.
The computer is still running whatever I was doing, the computer does not crash, i just cannot control it and the only way I have found as a fix is to restart.
This never happened in Mountain Lion.
Can anyone help?

Very similarly.
Mac Mini late 2012. i7 CPU, 16GB ram. 12GB unused.
After installing Mavericks, it seems to grind my system to a halt. It is still running (I can move the cursor and activity monitor updates processes) but every application I try to launch results in a colorful waiting sign. It even can take a minute or more before an application shows "any" sign of starting.
I tried to open a terminal session (so I could manually kill a process) but the terminal session did not even process. It timed out after 5 minutes.
Acitivity monitor shows 90-95% idle and I have no idea what's causing it.
I have already rebuild disk and reset permissions (all seemed fine) 3 times.
I've rebooted over 8 times since last night. I cannot use my Mac anymore reliably.
Please help.

I have a macbook pro mc700, And the scrolling lags or doesn't respond at times. What can I do to fix it?

I have a macbook pro mc700, And the scrolling lags or doesn't respond at times. What can I do to fix it?

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
The drive is approximately 4 years old. When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data. It appears to be working properly. The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it. Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems. I have tried two separate USB cords. I have updated the firmware. I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.
All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks,

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
