Set Date & Time Automatically

I have an Airport Extreme tied to a cable modem. I also have an Airport Express setup using WDS (remote base station). On both the Exteme and the Express I have checked "Set Data & Time Automatically" and selected "time.apple.com".
The Extreme finally has the correct date and time. (And I assume year.) However, the Express keeps loggin this error; "No address for NTP server time.apple.com." (I am using the "AirPort Management Utility" to view the logs for each Airport.)
I tried typing in the raw ip address for time.apple.com but it didn't change anything. Other then this minor issue both Airports are working fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your setup is similar to mine but my Express is in Client Mode not WDS. Here are some of the log entries I see. After it powers up the time is wrong and it reports the same as you of "No address for NTP server time.apple.com." but after a short time it does!

"Set date & time automatically" not staying checked

I don't know if this has already been discussed (searched and found nothing) but I just noticed tonight that on both my black MacBook and my new MacBook Pro will not retain the "Set date & time automatically" function. I check the box, close the window, open the date & time settings pane again and it's unclicked. I have no idea when this began happening but it's getting pretty annoying. I believe this could also be contributing to the older MacBook not working with Back to my Mac anymore.
Anyone else having this problem?

HI,
Open System Preferences/Date & Time. Make sure the box is checked for automatic. Now click the gold padlock icon so it's closed. You will be prompted for your admin password. Quit System Preferences and restart your Mac.
See if that helps.
If not... Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Missing Menu Item: Settings- General- Date & Time- Automatically Set Time Z

I'm running F/W 1.1.4 on my iPhone (German TMobile contract). The Date&Time settings menu is lacking the menu item for the automatic adjustment of the Timezone. The Apple Genius Bar recommended to reset the phone, which I did with no success. Same my second iPhone with TMobile contract. All other iPhones with identical F/W build numbers which I looked at at the (US) Apple stores showed that menu item.
Does anybody see the same problem? Any idea to resolve this?
Many thanks, Hans-Uwe

Page 151 iPhone5 user guide....does this help?
Set whether iPhone updates the date and time automatically
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or off.
If iPhone is set to update the time automatically, it gets the correct time over the cellular network and updates it for the time zone you’re in.
Some carriers don’t support network time in all areas. If you’re traveling, iPhone may not be able to automatically set the local time.
Set the date and time manually
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically off. Tap Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, then tap Set Date & Time and enter the date and time.

There is no API for this you'd have to run an external command using Process.exec.

Apple TV stuck on setting date & time.

Hi Guys
Couple a weeks back my Apple tv remote stopped working( i havent tried to change battery yet).
But i paried it with my iphone - remote app. And it was working fine, So i dint bother with the remote.
I use the time capsule as my wifi device. Yesterday for some reason it had to be reset so the name and password had to be changed.

Is the only option getting micro usb cable and factory restore ???
Please help guys... Cheers..

Hi, Katie.
I had this same issue and what worked for me was power cycling my wireless network and the Apple TV. However, if the issue persists, here are a couple articles that will walk you through troubleshooting this issue.

If the steps in the article above do not resolve the issue, then a restore may be needed.

RT set date/time error

Hi all,
I have noticed that whe I use the "RT set date/time" vi to set the time on my cFP-2010 the result is 12 hours out. i.e. If it is 2:00PM, I write 14:00 to the vi, and when I read it back, it reads 2:00 AM.
Can anyone please suggest why this is occurring, and a solution?
Thanks
David

What time zone are you in and how are you reading back out the time? I believe FieldPoint
keeps GMT and if you read its time directly, i.e. view an indicator running on the controller,
it will display GMT. If you bring the timestamp back to the pc and display it there it should
be tz adjusted according to the settings on the pc.

Setting the time automatically, or manually yet still gives wrong time.

Ever since I've updated my 5c, the time keeps messing around. It's never the right time. I've tried manual and also set it automatically. It keeps delaying in time and gives wrong hour/minutes. I cannot set the alarm or do anything because the time is just wrong. I don't have a problem with my other apple devices regarding the new software update, it's just with this phone.

Hello Basilsami,
It sounds like your phone is not keeping the correct time and date, either when set to automatic, or manual. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3920
Follow these steps. Test after each step to see if the issue is resolved.
Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.
Note: The option to set automatically might not be available on all carriers in all countries.
Additional Information
Note: If you find that your device's time is incorrect after you sync with your computer, your computer's time may be incorrect. Verify the computer's time in System Preferences > Date & Time (you may want to select the checkbox to set the computer's date and time automatically).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Setting the time automatically

Hi.
My iPhone4 is 7 hours ahead of the actual time when I use the automatic setting.
I run software version 4.3.5 and I am currently in Cambodia.
In other places the automatic setting normally works ok.
Interestingly enough my iPad (also version 4.3.5) has no problem setting the correct time.
No a major problem setting the time manually, just a bit of a pain when I forget and the alarm goes off early...

Set Date & Time Using Time Zone

Hello everyone,
Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.
I would like to be able to change the time using the time zones - i.e. when I open date & time and select the time zone I’m in, I want the time to change to reflect where I am. Currently, when I change the time zone, there is no change to the time.
Do you have any suggestions how to get the computer to recognize the change in time zone?
Thanks.

I should add that if I select the box to set date and time automatically, the computer displays a time completely unrelated to the time zone I've selected - this time does not change depending on the time zone selected.

HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time. it also does not interact with the remote. Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV. I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV. It attempts to set date and time and cannot. I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.

My appleTV gets stuck 'Setting Date & Time'

I'm connected to my network but it won't set the date and time, therefore it just sits there

I have the same problem. It told me I had to update my ATV. I clicked download later then it got stuck on the updating the date/time. This is the 2nd time it has happened to me. Last time I hooked it up to me PC and did a system restore. This *****!

Cannot set date& time and only computer and settings icons are showing

I am having difficulty with my appletv(MC572LL/A). It will not set the time & date after it downloaded the last update. It just stalls saying "setting date and time". I have reset the system and even re-installed the latest update to the unit but get the same results. Any suggestions?

Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router.
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.
