Something wrong with time&date on OS X Snow Leopard

I cannot associate this problem to any changes I might did on the system. The only thing I remember, on the last 2 days I updated my Time Machine Backup and applied all available patches through software updates, preparing for Lion.
Following the symptoms:
- calendar app only shows all meeting with minutes locked on xx:08. Suppose I add a new meeting, 14:30, it will shows 14:08 (picture below)
- adding a new meeting, I cannot change the minutes field, it is locked on xx:08
- Mail app, independent of what time I receive a new message, it will show xx:08 (picture below)
- my screen saver shows the time locked on 11:08 (no picture)
but
- through terminal, date command shows the correct time and the finder clock also shows correct time (picture below)
Tried already to play with system preferences date & time, reboot, but nothing changed.
Is it a bug, virus (probably not)?
Anyone, please help?

That's close to the likely culprit.
Try System Prefs > Language & Text > Formats. In the Times section, click Customize.
Make sure everything there is a blue "placeholder," not a specific time (like "08"):

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator.

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

hey HAbrakian!
You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

RMBP: Sometimes, after having been shut down, i have to press the power button several times before the machine starts up. It's 3 weeks old, and this has happened 2 times now. Is there something wrong with my rMBP?

Did you purchase the Mac new?
You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope

Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope or are my devices configured wrong. I have DAQCard-6036E and SCC-2345 with SCC-Ft01 and SCC-A10 modules. The problem is that when I am measuring with A10 it effects to FT01's RMS and DC values. But when I am measuring with Ft01 everything is ok. So what's wrong?? I attached a picture of a front panel.

Neuvos,
Do any of the signals you are measuring have high output impedances (> 1 kOhm)? If so, you may be seeing cross-talk (or ghosting). Below, I have included links to a number of documents that discuss this issue and methods for eliminating it:

Is there something wrong with my battery?

Hi everyone! I have an Iphone 5 that was newly "remodeled" for tmobile. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my battery after a recent decline in performance. I am updated to the latest iOS and I recently restored all of my settings on my phone in an attempt to increase battery performance, leaving only wifi on location for weather. With my current usage and standby, do I have something to be concerned about? I know some individuals that have my usage and will have a standby time of over a day. Advice and opinions is very much appreciated.

Usage and Standby the same means that there is an app on your phone that is running continuously. Usually its an app choking on bad data, or trying to send and failing. There are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Mail is a common culprit, especially if you have a Microsoft Exchange email account. If you do, go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendar, tap on the Exchange account, and turn off the switches. Then back out of settings and restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Then turn the switches back on. This clears the mail, contacts and calender queues. It will take a while to resync content, so don't check battery condition until the resync is finished. And its best to do this with a WiFi connection as a lot of data may go by.
If that doesn't fix it do the same with your iCloud account, and any other Push accounts you may have (Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, AOL).
Next, look for apps that run in background (most of the apps in the Quick Launch ribbon do not run in background, but a few do - music and video streaming apps, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Whatsapp, etc). Kill them in the quick launch ribbon by pressing HOME twice to display it, then hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each one. It won't do any harm to kill them all.
Note that if you have Google Maps installed and you asked it for directions it won't stop tracking you until you actually kill it in the Quick Launch ribbon.
good luck and report back!
BTW, you will see a lot of posts blaming some specific version, now 6.1.4 (because it's the newest). But you will see just as many reports for 6.1.3, 6.1.2, ...5.1,...4.1...3.0, etc. It's nothing wrong with the version (except for 2.1, which had a real bug), it seems to be caused for some people by the upgrade process itself. But there are also many people who encounter this symptom far away in time from any upgrade.

Something wrong with my CD/DVD drive??

I think there is something wrong with my CD/DVD drive. here are the things I notice:
At time the CD drive will act up and make a little noise (same normal noise as when mac starts up) but for no reason
When I put my mac on stand by, my CD drive decided to make some noise and then it woke the computer from sleep mode
Any suggestions? What could be the problem here?
Thanks.

Is there something wrong with the IOS 6 update?

Ever since I downloaded the iTunes IOS 6 update on my 2nd-gen iPad, I haven't been able to check my list of purchased apps in the purchased section the iTunes store app. I tried logging out & signing back in and I tried rebooting my iPad, but neither of them worked. Can you please fix the IOS update? Thanks if you and keep up the incredible work!

Never mind, there's definitely something wrong with the IOS 6 update. Sometimes the App Store doesn't show that an app has been purchased & it only shows the price of the app. Other times, it doesn't show that an app is currently being downloaded or that it's installed.
Still though, Apple, you really do need to fix this IOS 6 because the Purchased Apps section won't finish loading & display the ones that have been purchased. Also, you need to improve the App & iTunes gift card payment method because if you use a credit card & then switch back to gift card, it doesn't remember how much leftover money you had before & you can't combine the change from the previously-used ones together into one lump of money.
32 cents isn't enough to buy anything, not even a $0.99 app. The money is going by without being used and its a waste of money! If it's possible, please fix these two problems. Thanks if you do & keep up the incredible work!!!!!

My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Try right next to the router
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7. Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
Any ideas of how to solve this problem?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

There is something wrong with the forum

There is something wrong with the forum. it is messed up.!
I been a little bit observant this past few days, I observed alot of problems..
here are a few, ( there are actually alot more, but I could not describe it. its just very weird.
I thought someone hacked to my profile and used it to ask that one, but when I clicked on it, it was just one of the questions I have responded to.
sometimes I can not post to threads, an error would come up, most especially if I reply to a reply,
sometimes, when I Post images it would work the first time I post it, but when I search for it again, only the links are given, no images anymore.
sometimes I get booted out randomly, in the middle of writing a reply
sometimes the posts switches from threaded to flat , flat to threaded, and sometimes both.
sometimes when I checked on the stuffs>discussion, the post is highlighted but there is no new response or like, and even there was, I can see which one is it, especially to the posts that had many reply already
sometimes it still sends email to my gmail eventhough i have unsubscribe to the post already,
sometimes get error 504, and some other numbers I forgot.
sometimes during writing a response the blinking thing that indicates where are you writing goes missing or on the wrong place.
OH come on..! I am trying to help, you don't want one?
and don't blame it on ,my browser ( i checked and used IE9, FIREFOX, and even CHROME), or to my internet connection.( i got the best there is for home connections), or to my laptop ( it's a little bit old, but it still kicks butt holes) and tried it already with other pc/internet connection/and whatnot.
I am still sometimes visiting my previous home (NOKIA FORUM) and I don't experience those, and we even have live chat over there,
this forum needs a revamp. and how I wish this could be repaired via Sony Update Service, or PC Companion, but of course if it was possible I would have done it already.
We try to help users, make the forum conducive for users trying to help users. \m/
best of luck,,

Is there something wrong with my ps4 or am i just being paranoid?

I noticed that when i try to play some games textures take a while to load. It's especially noticeable in Battlefield 4, when a map loads and i spawn i have to wait like 30 seconds or more for the textures to load. I wouldn't care too much about it but it always took way less time. I think i also noticed it in Witcher 3, some textures just take a really long time to load especially in Novigrad. In Batman Arkham Knight i can notice it too on some street signs and ground textures when i'm flying around. Is there something wrong with my ps4 or am i just being really paranoid?

Could there be something wrong with my 4S dock connector?

So a while ago my iPhone's usb cord stopped working, so I bought a new one of the same type. Then that one broke, but I found out it still charged when I plugged my iPhone in, although the lightning icon that appears next to my battery onscreen didn't appear and it charges extremely slowly (like maybe 20% an hour, 25% at best, and around 10% at its slowest - and this is when my phone is off.) One of my relatives found out the wires inside the usb cord were messed up or something, and something of the usb cord wasn't tight enough so if the cord got pulled too hard it would get mess up the cord's wires again and stop charging my phone. Even then, it still didn't charge like the way it did when I first got it (icon next to onscreen battery, quickly, etc.) Soon enough, the cord stopped working again and I got so tired with it I just decided to buy a whole different type one. Here is the link to it: https://www.opensky.com/3d-luxe/product/iphone-4-4s-cable-usb-charger-sync-cord- 10-feet-new-steel-design-strongest-cable-on-market
This time, the icon still doesn't appear, although it does charge fairly faster than my broken ones last time (it charges about 22% in half an hour now when my phone's off). Then I tried plugging the cord into my laptop, but the usual iTunes did not appear, and my laptop notified me that the device was not working properly, and if I plugged it back in again and it still doesn't work then there may be something wrong with my device. Now I'm really confused because this cord is brand new, so how could it not work? I'm certain my laptop is working perfectly fine, so the only two possibilities that I can think of now is either the dock connector is not working for some reason, or the usb cord is not working. I really doubt the usb cord is not working, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.
Please help me on this. I've only had an iPhone for 3 months and it's already having so many problems.

If you have only had the phone (from brand new) for 3 months, it is covered by the 1 year limited warranty. You should make an appointment at a genius bar to have the device examined.
-Regarding third party cables - they do not always work.

'Something wrong with program configuration?'

Hi, I just downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader, and for some reason, it won't open PDF files like it should.
Every time I get the error message that simply says there is something wrong with the program's configuration and that I should try to reinstall. I have reinstalled two times now, and there is no difference.
Can anyone help me here? I don't know of any other way to view and print my PDFs.

How do you open PDF files: double-click on them, or open from Adobe Reader?
What is the *exact* error message you are getting?
