Setting the Time not Working :\

I've been trying to set the correct time on my machine for a while now, but Arch still keeps saying that I'm in CET. I've gone into /etc/rc.conf and edited the correct strings. Currently, I've got it set to UTC, and the timezone is America/Los_Angeles. I've tried UTC and US/Pacific, UTC and US/Pacific-New, as well as localtime. Any ideas on what is keeping it from correctly setting the time?

8 hours is the difference between UTC and PST. If you have the BIOS clock set to your local time then the entries in /etc/rc.conf ought to be:
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="America/Los_Angeles"
Only set HARDWARECLOCK to UTC if the BIOS clock is set to UTC.

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

Timer works if I set the time before the current one

Hi,
I've got a block that is part of an actionListener that has 4 buttons, anyway I want the timer to execute something exactly at the time I set it.....but in the code that I have it also executes if i set the time before the current time
Here's the segmant:
private class ButtonResponder implements ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
                if (event.getSource() == exitButton)
                              System.exit(0);
               if(event.getSource() == setButton)
                    int hour = Integer.parseInt(hours[hourComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                    int min = Integer.parseInt(minutes[minuteComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
                    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min);
                    calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
                    Date time = calendar.getTime();
                timer = new java.util.Timer();
                    timer.schedule(new TimerTask()
                         public void run()
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "it is time");
                    , time, 5*1000);
               if (event.getSource() == cancelButton)
                    timer.cancel();
          }So if I put zeros in hours and minutes it will execute immediately....how can I make execute at the exact time (so that if the time now is 2:00 and I set it to 1:00 it only executes the next day??

How do you set the time for this forum??? Not in nerd pleas

how do you set the time for this forum?

There were problems with the correct time display for postings, and based on another recent post this doesn't seem to have been fixed. My advice... don't worry about it.

Time not working in the menu bar.

My problem is the time that the operating system is displaying in the menu bar. When I set the time to New York, Eastern Standard time, the clock displays an incorrect time of 5 hours prior. I have the clock set to automatically sync with Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com). However, this doesn't help. This really disrupts correct functionality of iCal and I would really like to know how this issue can be resolved. Any ideas?

Set up the whole thing again in system prefs.> Date & Time.
Untick automatic and set to correct time & date.
Check the time zone map and make sure the correct city is showing.
Then the menu bar clock options.
Then back to recheck Auto to the correct time site. (Choice of three here)
Restart: fingers crossed.

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...

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.
All the very best,
Sterling

Can the time capsule works without WLAN cable connected to my DSL router?

Cna the Time capsule work without WLAN cable connection to DSL router?

WLAN is usually used for wireless LAN .. plainly you mean WAN port ..
How do you expect to get internet if the TC is not connected to the internet?
The TC can work stand alone.. true enough but that will then involve considerable issues in setting up two different IP addressing regimes .. you can just bridge the TC and use it as WAP and switch plus hdd without having to route.

How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

Hi Guys -
Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
Your help is appreciated!
Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.
-Rich

Hey Rich. Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section. You don't have that?

Can't set the time on the 6500 Slide

I just bought a 6500 slide and can't do one of the most basic things - set the time!
I have gone to auto-update but it is shows the wrong time.
At the time I purchased the handset the sales assistant turned the phone on to check if my sim card was working but he may have saved the incorrect date and time.
I have managed to save the correct date but can't for the life of me now save the correct time.
Can anyone help?
So simple but yet I can't figure it out.
Thanks.

Hi racheljc,
Try this:
Menu
Settings
Time and date
Time
From there, you should be able to change the time.
I hope this helps.

How does the time capsule work?

I am unfamiliar with this device. Can anyone explain how this works? I have a Gateway NV79, an IPad 2 and an IPhone. Will the time capsule work with these devices and a printer(Officejet Pro 8600)? If so, how does it do this? I am also wondering how it works as a router? Does it provide the internet access itself or do you have to have a separate source of internet to link to the device?

A Time Capsule is a wireless router and a hard drive in one package. It does not have a modem built in, so a modem and broadband service is required if you want to be able to connect to the Internet.
As a wireless router, the Time Capsule can provide connections for up to 50 users and 3 wired Ethernet devices. If you need more Ethernet connections, a switch can be easily added to the Time Capsule for that purpose.
Your printer could connect to the Time Capsule using either a wired Ethernet connection or wireless connection
Apple's literature does a good job of describing the product. Be sure to click the links in the upper right hand corner of the main page to learn more about the Backup capabilities, Wireless performance, and detailed Specifications.

Setting the time on 1300 bridges

stupid question, how do you set the clock on the 1300 bridges, specifically the 1310?

kieran
two issues
one the Cisco AP's do not have a clock like your PC if you set the time manually when the AP loses power or reboots the time is reset to the default and you need to set it again.
te]wo the better solution is to designate a time server for the AP to syncronize to.
either method can be configured by clcking services on hte WEB interface and then select NTP or SNTP depending on you IOS version. then entering the time server IP address in the proper box or typing in hte proper date and time in the fields below, if you select the time server method the date and time will be filled in automaticaly once the time is syncronized.
