My computer's automatic clock is six hours fast

Ever since I updated to Leopard, my computer's automatic clock setting has been 6 hours faster than my actual time. I have it set in my region everywhere I can find it, anyone have a clue what could be wrong?

Hi Mr.Mac
Go to: "Apple / System Preferences / Date & Time / Date & Time" and uncheck the box "Set date & time automatically" them set the current time.

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

I am so disgusted with Verizon CS. Six hours over two days on the phone to upgade a phone and my plan. More to come, but I have names, and even a direct phone number to a "supervisor". I'll be posting more... The incompetence of EVERYONE (which is alm

I'll be posting all the details of this tomorrow.

So, I'm back, the OP.
As briefly as i can:
Two phone family, currently one smart, one dumb phone. The dumb is eligible for upgrade.
Call into V and spoke with "Anthony" to get info on what plan(s) I might consider as I upgrade the dump to a new iPhone 6. Currently an old "grandfathered in" Nationwide 700 plan. This was Friday Sept 19. Get some info, which I assumed to be correct, including the fact, his words not mine, that the "upgrade (device) fee" can be negotiable.
Before I had any first hand knowledge, I assumed that I'd better get a "second opinion" so I drove over to my local Verizon (corporate) store. Well, I got a different story, including the percentage of my employee discount on service, my employer gives a 20% discount and has for years, I have my current statement / bill in my hand. But no.... Verizon guy says that is wrong, its only 18%. I ask him about upgrade fee being negotiable. He says no, never. So what had I learned? That V guy on the phone from Friday was either lying or just ignorant.
Soooooo.... now its Tuesday, Sept 23. The "BIG" day, day of 3 hours 50 minutes on the phone with SEVEN different V people, all of them telling me something different about what plan(s) I'm eligible for, your employee discount is 17, no 18, no 20 percent. Yes we can negotiate an upgrade fee, no we can't... At one point, now a couple hrs into it I say I've had enough, I want to talk to a supervisor. "I'm sorry sir, supers can't come to the phone" WHAT? Well later, once I did speak to a first level supervisor and then a second level I of course found out that was wrong - more lies / misinformation? The supervisor took the name of that V CS rep and looked at my every growing call log and said that he would speak to the CS rep.
So, nearing the 3 hrs mark into my attempt to find out about plans and buy an upgraded phone for my plan I reach "Brian". I have his direct number. Apparently he is something more important that the past 6 people I've spoken to over the past thee hrs. I tell him: "EVERY SINGLE PERSON I've spoken to so far has told me something different, and or contradicted what the last person I've spoken to has said!!!!!" Yes you can have 2 single line plans, no you can't, to get this plan your upgrading device has to be on the "Edge" plan, no it doesn't, your employers discount applies to the bottom line, no it doesn't, only to the data, and on, and on, and on.
Sooooooo I tell Brian, "here's how its going to go... YOU are going to wave the upgrade fee. I don't care where the money comes from, V or right out of your pocket. I've been on the phone for now closing in on FOUR HOURS...."
Sooooo he agrees. I laugh and tell him, "You know, it has nothing to do with the money, not its all about screwing V as much as I can, and wasting yours and V's time."
He says, order your phone and plan this week and I'll call you Friday (today Sept 26) and then credit your account the fee.
Soooo yesterday (Sept 25) I call in to do just that, order the phone and plan, WHICH I was told really the only plan that would suit you would be a More Everything Plan. So, ok that's that.
I speak to a CS / Sales rep. I buy the phone and then we go on to the plan. I tell the rep THIS WHOLE LONG STORY, and it looks like we are heading towards the More Everything, BUT she says to me, "you know, you could do that Single Line plan for BOTH of your phones?" I say "WHAT????" I was told by two reps NO, and two reps "Well.... maybe". This plan gets me everything I want AND saves me $10 a mo.
Sooooo we go for that, BUT.... I can't change my plan (from current Nation Wide 700) to 2 two single line plans until I activate my new phone (which will be 4 weeks until I get it - iPhone 6), SOOOOO once it arrives I HAVE TO CALL BACK TO V and switch - how much fun will that be??? MORE time (hours?) with V.
So we agree.... The rep says I just have to transfer you to our automated system where you'll agree to terms and conditions.. Fine. Up comes the computer voice... and.... it says "hello.... you are upgrading your device (123) 555-1234 (it gives a real number), press 1 if this is correct." WHAT???? That is NOT the phone number of my device ***? The auto system gives me the option to press another number to "enter a different number", so I do, AND...... The call disconnects.
Now... If I could track down ANY ONE OF THE PAST 8 PEOPLE I'D SPOKEN TO OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS, YOU'D BE READING ABOUT ME - "Upset customer KILLS everyone at V". I AM SO ******* ****** OFF AT V... I'm now into 2 hrs today, plus the nearly 4 hrs the other day on the phone.
Soooooo.... I call back, have to tell the story again, this time to "Nick" in N.Y. Nick says just go on line to your account, you can accept the terms there. Well, what do you know.... It works, amazing.
But.... Nick says great and reads back the info on the phone I bought and says "...and I see you are on the More Everything Plan..." WHAT, STOP, STOP, STOP. I tell Nick, "Nope, I am not, I never agreed to that, I'm waiting, keeping my old plan for 4 weeks until I get the new phone, THEN I'm to call back (oh joy) to V and upgrade my plan"
Nick say's well you have the More Everything plan, and it is costing you $10 more a month, BUT I can't un-do it because there is a purchase (my phone) in progress... I am not BEYOND MAD. We are now at SIX HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE ******* PHONE OVER TWO DAYS.
I ask to speak to Nick's supervisor. Melanie comes on the line. I, weather she wants to hear it or not, TELL HER THE ENTIRE STORY, that when (and GOD help him if he doesn't) Brian, the top end supervisor calls on Friday (today) to check on my experience buying the phone / upgrading the plan AND to credit my account the upgrade fee, I'm going to have to tell him about EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY and about the TWO MORE HOURS ON THE PHONE. Melanie says, yes you do now have a More Everything... All I can do sir is apply a credit back to your account for the difference in cost between your old (what was my current) and the new More Everything (the plan I NEVER agreed to be on).
So, that is where we are as of now, Friday Sept 26 AM. "Brain" said he'd be calling by noon-ish Pacific time. I've got his direct number, and If I don't here from him by noon, his phone will be ringing off the hook very 30 seconds until he picks up.
My experience to simply upgrade one of the two phones on my plan and the plan itself HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. VERIZON is sooo SCREWED UP. NO TWO PEOPLE KNOW THE SAME INFO, and the INEPTITUDE displayed is sickening.

My computer restarted automatically, and since then, Firefox refuses to load, it crashes instantly as I try to open it, I cannot access any of its options that way. What can I do?

Last night, as I was asleep, my computer restarted automatically, most likely due to an update of some sort. Usually, that is not a problem, as everything works just fine afterwards. HOWEVER, this time, it was not the case. Since it restarted, Firefox (3.6) refuses to start properly, and crashes immediately.
I can see the white page popping up for a split second before getting a message saying that it crashed, and that I should send a report. I tried looking at the help FAQs on this website, about how I should be able to get a code for that specific crash's details. The problem is, however, that my last submitted report, according to my computer, is in june 2010, and we're currently in september 2010.
I still tried to refresh after the report has been completed, but nothing. So I figured I'd try to check in the details of that latest report, but 'lo and behold, it doesn't work, even though I followed the explanations provided on this website perfectly.
I did try to restart my computer again, and even download the latest Firefox version again, and reinstall it (even though that's what I had), but to no avail. It still does the same thing.
At the moment, I am using explorer, and would very much like to be able to use Firefox again, as I have most of my bookmarks in there and usually prefer to use Firefox, although I've been having other issues with it lately. I don't think they're related to the constant crashes, but if you insist on me sharing those, then I shall do so.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Mail not receiving emails but sending them ok. It says updated at 11:28 but that was six hours ago and it won't update.

my Mail is not receiving on my iPad but is sending fine. Emails are sent and received fine on my iPhone and when accessing the account directly through safari. It says updated at 11:28 but that was six hours ago and it is stuck there.
i have tried restarting multiple times with no luck.

Have you tried signing out of your Mail account and then back in again?

I currently have an I5 and as with the previous I4, both buttons have failed and now my battery lasts almost six hours if I don't use it. I cannot upgrade my phone until March, 2015 even though I recently upgraded my phone to the More Everything Plan. Am I destined to be a nonuser for three months until I can upgrade. This is very unacceptable as I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for probably 20 yrs!

As a 20 year customer of ours, we certainly appreciate your loyalty Richey_Rich. I know the importance of ensuring you have a properly operating phone. Can you please clarify which button on the device is not working? Is there any physical or water damage to your phone? Any applications that stay running?
Thank You,

Can you stop the 'Sign in to use this computer for automatic downloads' window appearing at iTunes launch?

Whenever I start iTunes, two windows appear, one after the other, asking me to sign in to use the computer for automatic downloads. Even if I cancel both windows and don't sign in, automatic downloads are still enabled, as they are if I sign in on one or two of the popups. So, to the point, is there any way of disabling these windows at the start-up of iTunes? - they're useless and slow me down xD.
Incase you need it, I'm running a Lenovo G570 laptop on Windows 7 64-bit @ 3.10Ghz with 6GB RAM.
Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing the same issue as well with the most current update of iTunes (10.5.3).
What makes this even more of an issue is whenever I have to do this, iTunes Match starts syncing, but never completes, so the only way for me to see my iCloud synced music is to turn off iTunes Match, turn it back on, re-log in again, then it finally shows up about 30 seconds or so later. With each quit and re-launch of iTunes, I have to go through this whole process again to get my synced music to show.

History wont update unless i set my system clock ahead 3 hours

I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox but nothing i do works. The history will only start working if i set my clock ahead 3 hours. Any way to fix that besides setting myself to a different time zone that's 3 hours behind me.

Hi brotheryang17,
I asked qa and there are some more steps to take to make sure that it is not an add on affecting the functionality of bookmarks. The two suspicious one are Ad Block or Ghostery, however it could be a combination as well.
To run an experiment we can try two things: disabling each of the add ons one at a time to make sure that it is not an add on, or can try to create a new profile temporarily and add a bookmark with the time normally set.

Forgot to set camera clock back an hour. How do I batch the time?

I forgot to set my camera clock back one hour, and I need the files to read the actual time it was. So, basically, everything shot is off by one hour exactly.
It all is imported into my library already. How can I adjust the time so it falls back one hour for each file?

Thanks! That was easy

ITunes is repeatedly asking me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'. How do I fix this?

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and using iTunes v. 12.0.1.26. Whenever I open iTunes after initially asking for my password ('Sign-in Required'), it repeatedly asks me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'. No matter how many times I enter the correct password it keeps popping up until I hit cancel at least 4 times. Additionally, now when I attempt to make a purchase in the iTunes store it does the same thing preventing me from purchasing anything. It repeats the 'Sign In to the iTunes Store' log-in prompt and no matter how many times I enter my CORRECT password it will not accept it. Why is iTunes doing this and how can I fix it?

I have this same problem and it drives me crazy. I've posted a topic about this, with no replies. In my case I'm pretty sure it's because in iTunes Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads, I have Music-Apps-Books checked.
But this is what happens to me everytime I open iTunes:
Automatic Downloads password window pops up / I put in password
Immediately again, password window pops up / I put in password
Now I'm fine until I close iTunes and open again
If I don't feel like putting my password in two times and cancel, if you cancel the window 3 times, it goes away.
What I don't understand:
Why isn't the Automatic Downloads password stored in Keychain
Why does it ask for the password two times

I am having trouble uploading an Aperture photographic book to Apple. The first time I tried "Buy Book" the order proceeded normally but when it came to uploading the book to Apple it "uploaded" for six hours without going through so I aborted the attempt

I am having trouble uploading anAperture photographic book to Apple. The first time I tried “Buy Book” theorder proceeded normally but when it came to uploading the book to Apple it"uploaded" for six hours without going through so I aborted theattempt and cancelled the order.
The second time I tried the samething happened so after nine hours I found that the "Quit Aperture"button had greyed out so I had to Force Quit. I do not know if the order wascancelled but I do not think that the upload was successful.
What can I do about this problem?

I also am not able to print a book. I have Aperture on two Mac, MacBook Pro (current) and a MacPro - both printed books prior to update 3.1.3 now all I get is the spinning ball then I have to Force Quit. I tried books I have ordered in the past (trying to print a new book) and they also failed. This is not a picture problem but a problem with 3.1.3 update. I would like to print some more books and give Apple some money but can't.
Any suggestions?
Ken

HT1338 I'm doing a software update, it said I had a few, I downloaded but it's been six hours installing. What should I do?

I had to reinstall os x, downloaded updates but it has been six hours installing. Is something wrong? What should I do?

Have you tried a "hard reset"? If so, I would take the phone to an Apple store. If not,
1. Make sure the phone is OFF
2. Hold the HOME button and then press the power button and HOLD IT.
3. Hold both buttons until the phone comes ON, goes OFF and come ON again (about 45 seconds)
4. Re-sync with iTunes.
Hope this helps.
