OS X keeps "correcting" the clock
Hi.
While being an exchange student i Lynnwood WA, i bought a Macbook Pro 13". And now, after moving back to Denmark, I can't make it show the correct time.
I've tried this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2538
But at step 4, there isn't a folder called "localtime" but a shortcut to a file in "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe"
And deleting the shortcut, dosen't solve the problem.
I've even tried manually setting the time but the next day the clock have reset and is once again 1 hour ahead
Have you tried changing different things in preferences?
In the "Language & Text" preference under Formats, make sure the correct region is selected.
In the "Date & Time" preference try unselecting the automatic option in both Date & Time and Time Zone. Or make sure the proper region is selected in both.
If all that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Other slight possibility is that your PRAM battery has problems. However, I'm not sure how to fix that. I'd call apple for that.

Repair Permissions keeps correcting the same permission.
Tiger–Repair Permissions corrects the owner group of ./private/Var/log/secure.log to -rw------ from -rw-r-------. It is my father's iMac and he firmly believes that this incorrect permission slows the computer. Once the permissions are changed, they soon return to the same setting and are trapped again by Repair Permissions. Question...is this an invisible file that could slow the computer? Is it only a log? Should this quirk just be ignored?
blue skies, Phillip
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)AFAIK, that's a cosmetic bug that occurs when the daily maintenance task rotates the various logs. It won't affect system performance. Unless there's some underlying problem he's trying to fix, tell him to ignore it and advise him to only repair permissions after he updates Apple software.

Viritual OS won't keep the clock in sync with host?
Our computer for controlling all doorlocks in one of our main buildings shut down for good just the other day.
However the software for administration and control of this is so old that it won't run on anything newer than Win 98.
Problem beeing, that most modern computers are waay to "big" to run Win 98(too much memory, ect..)
Solution was simple thou, just get a clean install of Win XP with all of the necesarry drivers, and run Win 98 in a Viritual Environment.
This works all but great, except 1 thing: The clock of the guest OS(98) does not sync with the Host's clock(XP), and runs about 1 sec. slower per minute. That in total would make it 24 minutes slow after a day. Which indeed is a problem with time controlled
locks.
The clock on the host's OS is just fine, correct, and doesn't slow at all, but still the guest OS is not in sync.
Is there any way to force a clock sync from the guest OS to the host every now and then, say, every hour or so?
Keeping in mind that this system is offline, not connected to internet or any network at all?
Edit: The clock of the Two OS's are synched at startup of the guest OS, and it's from there the clock's fall out of sync..You'd install the VM Additions or Tool for the Windows 98 guest which provide the interface for time sync.
You don't mention what virtualization solution you're using though.
Windows 98 is not supported by Windows Virtual PC, if that's what you're using. You may be able to get the older VPC2004 VM Additions to work with WVPC and allow for time sync. -
How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.
It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I can’t get a reset all of my credentials don’t work. Now all my apps won’t work. it looks like they load for half a second then disappear. What can I do?
- Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
- For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
- Instead, try restoring from backup. -
I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

When I try to complete a registration form to join a website/ open an account using wifi on my ipad 4 I enter the details using Autofill.
Hence my email address is entered automatically and is 100% correct.
However I keep getting the same error message: your email address is incorrect.
My account is with BTYahoo and I am able to send and receive emails without any problems.
I' ve recently visited an Apple store and discussed this problem with a genius but they said they haven't encountered this problem before so we deleted my old account and added a new one with the same information but today I tried to join another website and again the email address isn't accepted.
Any help gratefully received.Thanks for that suggestion!!
So far it's worked but can't understand why Autofill adds the exact same details but the website fails to accept the email address.
Thanks again. -
Good evening ! recently, i noticed that my macbook pro make a weird sound when i open the screen, it's like there is something keeping the screen from moving correctly.the little noise comes exactly from the left side of the axis.please advice me what to do
(i live in morocco and i need to know where i should take ma macbook to get it fixed and if the warranty take this problem in charge)
thank you in advance
macbook pro mid2012 i7 (here is my e-mail adress : [email protected])You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

my itunes is not downloading correctly even after i uninstalled all software of apple keeps saying the registry is missing to import and burn cds??? it is not on a mac computer
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now? -
The verification lists my card data and address etc. correctly but I need to keep entering the card security number.
Support keep telling me to delete and re-enter my car info which does not help. Anyone else seen this issue?
Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxxI've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far. -
I keep having the message the software required for communicating with your ipad is not installed correctly please reinstall, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of itunes 8 times and no luck does anyone have any advice?
First, for the forum view issue. Go to My Settings (on the right) and in General Settings change the Topic Page View to Flat. Click Save. Posts should show up in the order they were written.
Have you seen this?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93764
Also, since you said that you've gone through the 5 Rs, I would assume that you used the iPod Updater to restore (since there is no other way of doing it and you don't "run" the 5 Rs).
When you restored, did you use the latest updater?
You may also want to try formatting the iPod through Windows. Connect it to the computer and when it appears in My Computer right click it and go to format. Does anything happen? Can you format the iPod through Windows?
