Setting the time and date.

Just recently when starting my computer I receive a message telling me my clock etc is set to a time and date in 2001 and it might be effecting how it operates. I keep trying to fix it but it keeps coming back and my clock is always wrong on start up.
Does anyone know what's going on? And more importantly, how do I fix it?

You might need to replace the 'backup battery'
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=34885
You may need to replace the battery if you have intermittent problems starting up your computer, or if settings such as date and time change when you start up your computer.
Also update to the latest version of OS X (10.4.11) if you haven't already (Your signature suggests you are running 10.4.3)

  • Ever since the update to the  IOS7 my ipod will not keep the time. I have reset everything you could reset I have even reset it back to factory settings. I have tried setting the time and date to automatic and manual multiple times but nothing is working.

    Please help!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • Has anyone else had issues with changing how the time and date look on the status menu in Mavericks?

    I'm trying to make it so the year displays, but haven't been able to figure out how to change that. I have the Day of the Week, Month, Day and Time only and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that in the Date & Time or the Language & Region Settings.

    There is no option in System Preferences. However, it may be possible to set it with a "defaults write" command.
    This page shows how to set the time and date format in the Terminal, but doesn't show whether you can add the year.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/75116/i-want-to-change-clock-from-12h-t o-24h-mode-via-terminal
    If you can find a description of Apple's date format code that includes the year, then it may be possible. Or not.
    I'm guessing Apple thinks only Time Travellers need to ask what year it is...

  • HT202157 setting network time and date

    What are the issues involved in setting the time and date on AppleTV?   Is this a network issue?

    P.C. was mentioned earlier so I will jump in and assume Windows....
    If the system is (made) a member of a Window administrative domain then all this is already in the box, and should be part of a well managed system (I have managed it on a workgroup as well, see the articles below for details). It's one of the things I try to promote as we often have systems switched on for hundreds / thousands of hours and knowing when some guy accidently switched it all off is realy usefull It helps with problems / events that occur outside our control and assists tracking down problems and stops drift / skewing of data.
    Check out the following articles for more information: -
      Basic Operation of the Windows Time Service
      http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q224799/
      Registry entries for the W32 TimeService
      http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q223184
      Windows 2000 cannot set the correct time when it connects to multiple NTP servers
      http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837196
    The time service is included on Windows XP as well. For NT4 there is / was a toolkit that allows operation from Microsoft.
    Use the command NET TIME /? (on W2K and XP)
    Either way you will come accross problems at the firewall if you want to get to an external time source. Unless you have on of those nifty little black boxes that pick up a radio signal from one of the available time sources.
    I like Dennis Knutsons idea because you can't always get IT's attention, sometimes they need a little help, thanks again Dennis for another good tip.

  • My gradson got ahold of my grandaughters IPod touch and I no longer have a settings button.  The time and date on this is wrong.  How can I fix this problem.

    I need help...  I no longer have all of the buttons on my IPod touch screen.  My grandson got a hold of it and boom..  The time and date is wrong also, and I have no access to fix this problem.  There is no settings button.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Assuming that by buttons your mean the icons for various apps are missing, use the Spotlight search feature (double click the Home button and go all the way to the left past the music controls) and search for: Settings. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen layout and also correct the time inthe Genera settings.
    The Setting app can't be deleted or hidden via Restrictions.

    That means it is having trouble connecting to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly. DNS should be set to automatic. Ensure router is up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Reboot ATV and router.

  • I can't set up time and date / no response or it s...

    Hi guys
    I hope You will help me.
    I purchased nokia 5800 (second hand) for my girlfriend this christmas as a present and everything is fine apart 'time and date settings'.
    When you going to 'setting' and try to select 'date and time' there is no reaction, if you trying open by clicking 'options' and than 'open' it appears straight away  'System error' message or if you trying do it from the home screen/desktop by clicking on the clock 'System error' message appears straight away.
    It is very confusing and driving me mad as this is christmas gift and she can't set up time and date.
    I've tried  update software using Nokia Software Updater and nothing
    I've restored factory setting and nothing as well. 
    Please help me
    Thank You very much for Your time
    Kind regards

    Hi monpar77
    If you are using restore factory settings in "Phone management" due to UDP = User Data Preservation feature of this device that may not be sufficient and you may need to carry out a "hard reset" as detailed elsewhere in the forum.

  • When I did 7.1 update on iPhone five my reminders no longer works correctly it automatically erases the time and date that I requested

    Remove Office 2008 for Mac using Microsoft deinstall procedure. Reinstall Office 2008 for Mac.  If there are updates, apply them. Using Disk Utility, verify/repair permissions on your boot drive.
    Does Office for Mac 2008 now work correctly? If not, you may want to repeat the above first sentence, and then update to Office for Mac 2011, and apply the latest (14.4.8) update which has Yosemite fixes.

  • In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change

    For a certian Application I am using I need to change the format of the Time and Date. I had no problems in Mountain Lion. In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change. I need the date format to read as 01/01/14 and time format to read 13:00. As I said this was easily done in Mountain Lion and all previous Apple OS. I suspect it's an issue with in the OS.

    You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

  • Ipod touch always changes the time and date when synced

    Since I got my touch, even before any updates etc, every time I sync it the time and date changes, usually back about a week or so. Anyone else got this problem or any solution as its really annoying me. A cutting edge bit of kit that has practically every function that works so well and the clock and calendar cant keep time? weird....

    Not true in all cases, I updated to 2.0 and had 2 problems: One App had a Bug *NOT Apple`s fault*, and the second was another App ( again, not Apples fault ) that went back to home screen after opening. This was solved by a simple reset ( I have the first batch of Touches, 16 gb ). And the battery thing, I haven`t noticed it at all, I have an almost full charge, and have been using it for 4 days, never shut it down, only sleep mode when not in use.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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 restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.
