MacBook pro time problem (asking second time)

I have MacBook Pro mid 2012 with OS X Mavericks. The time on menu bar appears correct but the am/pm symbol keeps disappearing every now and again. Once it disappears it leaves a blank space. To fix it I click on time and chose analog clock and change it again back to digital clock. The am/pm symbol appears back on. But later sometime it disappears again. I have done SMC reset but it did not resolve the issue.
Anyone else having this problem and how to fix it?

There are many who are facing the same problem. I have been researching online on this issue and many have come forward with this problem. Here is a link to another thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24763044#24763044
I also verified with some of the other users if they are using any apps which are common to me. There were no common apps but the problem still exist. Although I have not tried using Guest account like you said. I will give it a try.
Did you update from Mountain Lion to Mavericks? And do you use any external apps at all? I never had this problem on Mountain Lion and I have been using same apps on both OS.

    Pawn shop! They only looked after it for a stranger then the ticket ran out. Will apple accept that sell-on as a bill of sale? I'll give you 50:50 chance on that.  Did you see Apple recently refused to unlock an ipad left to a guy by his mother who died of cancer. Apple wanted a court order! (Til it got on the national TV news).
    Someone will have to produce the original owner's bill of sale I reckon.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

    How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
    If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?

    Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
    I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

  • Macbook Pro sleep Problems with Time Machine and Time Capsule

    I recently installed a time capsule as a Router and a Time Machine backup device for 2 macs in the house.
    Unfortunately, I found that my 2011 macbook pro 15' updates the time machine backups even when the lid is closed and in sleep.
    When I wake the macbook pro, it hangs and I have to reset the mac to restart.
    This did not happen when I was using a firewire hard drive with the time machine.
    My question is:
    Is there a way to prevent the time machine to backup when the macbook pro is in sleep mode?
    My mac is not equiped with power nap so it is not suppose to be doing this.
    Thanks
    Other info:  OS Mountain Lion, regular hard drive, 8 Gig Memory

    Edwin,
    I assume that since the repair of the sparsebundle failed you still cannot open the sparsebundle in Finder and get the message:
    The following backups could not be opened:
    Imac of E.sparsebundle because there are no activatible filesystems
    If the sparsebundle cannot be opened in Finder, then the chances that Time Machine can open them are nil in my opinion. Time Machine, in effect is just going to open the sparsebundle as Finder is attempting to dot, then it gives you a fnacy display, but the underlying issue with the sparesbundle is the same for both methods of access.
    Do you, by chance hav a bootable backuo of your Snow Leopard system?
    If so can you access the TM backups with it??
    You didn't change the Time Capsules Network Password did you?? see this.
    I looked to see if I could find anythng about the error codes you mentioned in your original post and so far can;t find anything about them.

  • Trouble with a new MacBook Pro - times 3 now..

    Hi all,
    Trouble Trouble Trouble - my frustrations with Apple:
    1) MacBook Pro -bought 19th nov 2009- Death On Arrival, 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0,0)
    Been sent back to Apple and I got a new one.
    New MacBook Pro -got it on the 25th nov 2009- Started to have random Kernel Panic's 2nd of November:
    2) Kernel Panic's everywhere.. even on the Mac Bootdisc with Disk Utility.. as random as they appeared, so random they went away. Just to be sure on the Apple helpdesk they advised me to cleaned disk and reinstalled everything. Lucky I made a back-up when it was still working.... otherwise I'd have lost everything.
    3) Worked well for 2 or 3 days and now -6th dec 09- all the sudden it doesn't want to start anymore. Giving me 9 beeps at start-up on a black screen in the morse code s.o.s. 3x short, 3x long, 3x short)
    Apple?
    I'm sure when I call Apple tomorrow I'll have to bring away my notebook to an Apple Service Provider cause they can't help me on the phone. If so, I will have to wait for another 20 days(experience in the past with my bro's MacBook for a new harddisk(!)).
    I used to be a PC-guy and took the brave step to be a full-time Apple-guy, but this is just frustrating me. Sold my old laptop and now I'm without one for ages.
    What would my options be? Could I get a complete new notebook?
    Niek

    Giving me 9 beeps at start-up on a black screen in the morse code s.o.s. 3x short, 3x long, 3x short)
    Sounds like bad RAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341?viewlocale=en_US
    Or bad power.
    Have you attempted to change the power supply or power source? If it isn't plugged into a surge protector, you may have issues with your house power that create problems for multiple computers.
    Also, be sure you aren't damaging the power cable unintentially*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
    This is a user to user board.
    Call Apple directly at:
    (31) 0900 7777 703
    And let them know your repeated issues. They could give you a replacement machine, but also ask for a replacement power brick to at least test the theory the power brick may be damaged.

  • Macbook pro time reset too 12:00am 2001

    when i turned on my macbook pro this morning I got a message saying that the clock was set to a date earlier than 2008 (the actual date was 1/1/01) and this may cause problems. I also got a load of messages asking me to authorise a load of things ive never heard of network access.
    I gave everything network access just so I could connect to the internet and post this and I had to type my network key in again
    what could have caused this??
    i put a screenshot up here http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomdefyinglife/5071088338/

    It's still there . . . .
    Be advised - I'm a programmer, and often cause issues with my machine due to bad code. The system itself is clean, however.
    I highly recommend running Time Machine, then you can always go back and undo what you did/get what you need. In addition, I clone to an external HD, then I can boot to it and do almost anything I want to mess it up, and still just reboot to my "good" internal HD (or vice versa).
    Here's the system log for the event in question. Sequence of events:
    - Shut down machine (I usually sleep it)
    - Machine has 30% battery
    - Left overnight - still has about 30% battery in the morning
    - Power on - clock has been reset.

    Not sure why that would blow the clock away, but there you go.
    Faulty? Return unit to Apple?
    I don't claim to understand the entirety of that log (or even most of it). Gut feeling is it's not a MBP hardware issue.
    Are you running wireless or ethernet cable?
    What kind of modem and/or wireless router are you running?
    I ask, because I had an issue somewhat similar about the same time as the OP and you did. It turns out that my modem/router (2Wire brand supplied by ATT) automatically did a firmware update and messed up a number of my settings (which was rather tedious to figure out). Have never had that happen before. Don't know if it was isolated to that brand and/or ATT, or if it was in response to some new internet issue. Suspect I'll never know the answer to that, but I do know the issue happened and it was due to the modem/router update.
    Note that date/time are usually set automatically via internet, so it seems there could be some connection.
    I don't know if any of this has any bearing whatsoever, but I find the timing interesting.
    EDIT: It just registered to me that you are still in hardware warranty. If no resolution to this, I would contact Apple. Try AppleCare phone support, but if they won't deal with you because you're out of phone support's 3 month time allowance, can you get to an Apple Store? If so, call ahead for a "genius" bar appointment.
