"Set date and time automatically" not working on my new unibody macbook

my digital time display shows wrong time, 6 hours +, but my analog clock shows the right time on my System Preference window. My system recognizes the digital time. I tried manually setting but if I get the digital time right my analog is wrong. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? What can I do?

  • The setting date and time is not working

    Bought an apple TV, installed it as per instruction, connected to my internet but the seting date  and time is not occuring and the activation cannot occur either.  Spent 1 hr on the phone with Apple support staff - they told me it may be a router blockage and to contact my internet provider.  contacted internet provider , they tell me everything is working from their end so must be the apple TV device.  I was told this was easy techonology and that I would not have issues - I have spent 3 hrs on this and truly frustrated as its not working .  any suggestions would help!

    That would be a network issue as you were initially advised. When the date and time can not be set it means it is having trouble connecting to the network.
    Make sure router is up to date, reboot router and ATV. Make sure location is set correctly via ATV and also DNS (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)
    Make sure your router allows access over port 123.
    Failing that try a restore on the unit

  • Setting date and time is not working

    , I have restarted, and tried Network Settings, but still it just keeps thinking. What should I do?

    Hello dad1000,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Apple TV: TCP and UDP ports and protocols used
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2463
    TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
    Make sure you dont have any firewalls, or antivirus, or router blocking this port.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • The date and time is not working after setting it to current date and goes back to may,26 2011

    the date and time is not working after setting it to current date and goes back to may,26 2011; 2 PM . I bought my ipod tocuh 4th gen on july 18th

    On the iPod, make sure your Calendar is set to Gregorian (Settings > General > International > Calendar).  Also make sure your date and time on your computer is correct as well as the Time Zones on both.

  • Set Date and Time Automatically...doesn't

    We've noticed that the setting to automatically synchronize date and time to Apple's time server doesn't work if the system preference is 'locked'
    In other words, if the user that's logged in currently, isn't an admin user, then the machine doesn't set the date and time automatically.
    As soon as you unlock the system preference by clicking the padlock at the bottom, the date and time sync as they should.
    Anyone else noticed this?

    We do want the clock correct. The issue here is that the internal clocks drift - as I understand it, this is the one of the main reasons behind using a network time server.
    With the Date and time preferences set to 'Set date and time automatically', the but with the lock at the bottom corner locked- it's as though being locked is preventing the automatic date and time settings from updating.
    But the preference is checked on, and so the clock should be 'resetting' itself as necessary.
    To give an example- say the machine has been off for a while, and unplugged. This will cause the machine not to know what the Date and Time is. When the machine starts up, the preference should kick in, and the machine should 'Update date and time' automatically.
    But it doesn't. So long as that padlock is locked, even though the preference is checked on, the machine will not alter the date and time - until the padlock is unlocked.

  • Is there a way to force time can only be set to "Set date and time automatically"?

    I am using OS X 10.9 .5 , and here is what I want to do.
    When you click "Open Date & Time Preference", you will find an option that states "Set date and time automatically". And of course you can chose not to do that, and adjust the time.
    But can you remove that option? So your OS X is forced to chose the mode "Set date and time automatically" no matter what you do? (aka you can't adjust the time by yourself now.)
    Is that possible? Is there an app that can achieve this goal or can you do that at Terminal?
    Thanks in advance.

    There's a similar setting in iPhoto preferences (in iLife '08 versions and later), or in Image Capture preferences (if you're using iLife '06 or earlier). Check those settings as well.

  • How do I change the "Set Date and Time Automatically" server

    Is there a way to change System Preferences/Date & Time/Date & Time/Set date and time automatically from "Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)" to another time server instead?

    sig wrote:
    The menu has a drop down. But if you know the address of another time server I would think you can type it in.
    Yeah, that's not really a menu, but a "combo box", which is a combination of an edit field and pop-up menu. So you can choose from existing items or just type in whatever time server you want.

  • Passport restart when set date and time automatical austrian mountain

    Hi guys sorry for my poor english. I was for four days in austrian mountain. There are a lot of areas without any connection (thats ok in mountain...). but why restartet my passport two counts per day? Only when it, set date and time automatical. After deactivat of this option my passport works normal without any restarts. My passport has follow infos: SQW100-1 softwareversion 10.3.1.1779.On 2000 meter was a mountain hut with an strong wireless repeater. Maybe it was the problem. Nobody on the hut has any problems with restarts... ok i was alone with my blackberry. nobody realy nobody on this mountain hut use a blackberry. Back from mountain i can set date and time automatical... and it works fine without problems. by the way i was the only one after four days with an active phone... Some IPads works on fourth day.... but how in hell go into a mountain with an IPad!?  living area germany wireless carrier O2

    When ATV is setting date and time, and hangs there, it usually indicate there isn't a network connection.  Is your router still working, is the Internet for all the other computers on the same network working?  Have you tried changing from WiFi connection to Ethernet or vice versa?

  • Can't set date and time automatically thru Airport Extreme

    We have an Airport Extreme that serves as the router for our home network. No computer using the Airport (wirelessly or via ethernet) can set it's date and time automatically. If I bypass the Airport and hook a computer directly to the ISP's modem via ethernet, date and time works fine. The Airport is up to date (v7.4.2) This has been a problem for quite a while now and it doesn't matter what OS is used (current is 10.6). I don't have any firewalls set up that I know of.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    +No computer using the Airport (wirelessly or via ethernet) can set it's date and time automatically.+
    It's done with AirPort Utility, not your computer.
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Then click the Base Station tab below the icons
    There is a check box +Set Time Automatically+ and choose a region and Time Zone

  • "RT Set date and time" does not set seconds in UTC mode

    Hallo,
    I tried to set the time on my cRio 9012 with the function settimeUTC which is used by the "Set Date and Time" vi. But the seconds I enter are ADDED to the current time and not set as new value.
    Even the vi shows this behaviour: I set up a vi in which the time is set in a loop (100ms delay) and read again. When I set local time the clock stops (as expected) but when I set the UTC time the seconds keep on running...
    Can anybody help me with that problem???
    Thanks
    Florian
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Andreas,
    well it does not matter if I set a time zone in the MAX or not. In my example I was working on UTC + 0 but even when I set it to my local time (UTC + 1) I get the same behaviour modified by one hour.
    My LabView Version is 8.5. In in the MAX under Software-> LabView-RealTime it says that I am using 8.5.0.
    I suspect  that the settime.out which is installed on the cRio is probably the root of the problem as VxWorks itself does not offer a function (at least I did not find one) to convert from broken down system time to system time in seconds. There only exist one to convert from broken down local time to system time in seconds ( mktime() ). The reverse function is available for both cases: gmtime() and localtime(). I also did not find a way to find out the offset of the local time. So I have to use the library function settimeUTC() from settime.out.
    As I offered I can send you the settime.out file from my cRio for reference or maybe you can tell me how to find out what the version of the file is. It seems not to be an ELF file as I looked inside it to find some timestamp or version info...
    Thanks so far

  • Keychain problem and "Set date and time automatically"

    Something very strange appened to me today. I spent a few hours to get it through.
    All starts when I decided to open System Preferences and *set date and time manually* (I lost date and time because I left my PowerBook without its battery for an hour). At the next login, Leopard was no more able to access keychain's stored passwords, even if all items on Keychain Access were right there. Everytime I tried to read one item's password, a pop-up window reminded me that I had not the right to do it. As soon as I set back "date and time" on automatic (time.euro.apple.com - for me) all became normal (all iCal reminders appeared at on time) and all services started to get their passwords from the stored list.
    Sorry for my English (I'm from Italy).
    Someone got the same issue?

    That looks like the correct IP address for the Apple NTP. Not sure why your AEBS is not getting the time stamp.
    Would you mind double-checking the following setting, using the AirPort Admin Utility?
    AirPort Tab - Base Station Options: Logging/NTP
    - Set Date & Time Automatically: time.apple.com (checked)
    Is it possible that you have UDP blocked on port 123? Is your AEBS connected to another Internet router?

  • TS4268 I changed set date and time automatically to "no" and I was able to activate iMessage. This seems contrary to all the troubleshooting discussions I've been reading.

    Is there any definitive info on this subject?

    When ATV is setting date and time, and hangs there, it usually indicate there isn't a network connection.  Is your router still working, is the Internet for all the other computers on the same network working?  Have you tried changing from WiFi connection to Ethernet or vice versa?

  • Set date and time automatically keeping turning itself off?

    Every time I go to the App Store I get a pop-up stating that it can't connect and that this may be caused by an incorrect date and time setting.  I go to Settings and discover that "Set Automatically" has somehow turned itself off.  I can turn it back on and then access the App Store.  Until the next time.  When the whole problem starts over.  Why won't it stay on Set Automatically?  Thanks.

    Try this first. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. That will turn all of the settings back to factory defaults and you will have to enter them again. You will not lose any data.
    You can also try restoring from a backup - if you have a recent backup. The backup contains the device settings and that just might work. It worked for me when I was experiencing the very same problem that you are having.

  • Adjusting date and time does not work for pictures from one camera.

    I have a set of pictures taken with a Casio EX-Z20 camera in my Aperture 2 library. Because the clock of this camera was off by a few hours I changed them all at once with the option "Adjust date and time...". This worked well and when I sorted the images from different cameras by date in Aperture they were in the order.
    When exporting all the images as JPEG the images in the set from this camera was reset to it's original.
    That was very strange, I decided to try and change the date of these images in the master files as well by checking the checkbox "Also change master files".
    When I change the date from 15-10-2008 18:34:44 to 16-10-2008 10:34:44 (+16 hours) the date of the image changes to 16-10-08 01:36:43 GMT+02.00 (+9 hours, 1 minute, 59 seconds).
    When I change the date from 16-10-08 01:36:43 to 16-10-2008 19:36:43 (+18 hours) it ends up as being 16-10-08 10:38:42 (+9 hours, 1 minute, 59 seconds)
    When I change the date from 16-10-08 10:38:42 to 16-10-08 10:48:42 (+10 minutes) it ends up as 16-10-08 01:50:49 GMT+02:00 (-8 hours, 47 minutes, 7 seconds)
    I have worked around this problem by adding some hours to the desired time and eventually got it about right, but this is still a very annoying problem. Has anyone else encountered it or know of a way to avoid it?

    I certainly have had issues regarding wrong dates, time stamping and DNG's in Aperture. There have been posts here from others as well with the same kind of date problems.
    I have reported the bug to Apple and hope for a solution to the issue in a near future.

  • Apple! Wrong time in Russia, when set up "set date and time automatically"

    we do not change time anymore in summer or winter. Please fix it, cause FaceTime and Messages don't work without this option.

    What you say about Send Later timestamp is correct.
    When you click Send or Send Later a time is set regardless of when you actually sent the Send Later email.
