System clock keeps changing on KT400 MS 6590

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure why but my system clock seems to change. The problem isn't every time I log into Windows XP but at random. If I restart then the clock goes to the correct time again. Is there any way of correcting this other than changing the times in Windows and the BIOS. I have also tried clearing the COMS, but this hasn't worked either.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Richard.

any big chemist,camera shop,most corner shops
pop the old one out
there is a little tag
put new in make sure its same way round
you might find bios is reset and needs resetting

Split Screen on 30" Display, changes in System pref keep changing

Hi,
This is my first time on this forum, so Hi to everyone out there.........!
Anyway,
I have a G4 with a 30" display, everytime I boot up the 30" display splits into 2 halfs, like a mirror of each other and the resolution is 1200 x 800. The only way to fix it is to reboot the PC and then I get the one size screen at full resolution.
I've gone into System Preferences and Displays and locked the configuration change heaps of times but it doesn't seem to stay locked as for some reason the config keeps changing.....
Please note, my laptop stays blank but I can drag screens from my display and make them display into my laptop which allows me to open heaps of sessions up between the two....
Does anyone have the same issues, or this this a first......?
All comments welcomed.
Thanks
Paul

Sorry, I have placed this in the incorrect forum....... I will close it from here and re-post it in the correct forum.

Satellite P100 - time clock keeps changing

The clock on my Satellite P100 keeps changing (running Win XP MCE) randomly during the day while it is powered on.
When I start up PC in morning, clock is similar time to when I switched it off the day before.
I use my PC in my office connected to mains power. For the first few months of ownership I left main battery out of computer because I wanted to preserve it's life. I don't want to run on battery power and go through a charge-discharge process all day long while I am working. I wondered if this might be the problem and now keep the main battery plugged in all the time but the clock still keeps changing.
The clock does not change by precise hours, but to an almost random time sometime before the correct time. Sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a couple of hours.
I have installed and run all the latest anti-virus, spyware etc. etc. and nothing is detected.
Does it look like my CMOS/RTC battery faulty?
This is my work computer and I cannot afford to be without it for more than a day. I also do not want to return it with all my company data on the hard disk.
Anyone know how easy it is to replace the RTC battery yourself (I know it will invalidate the warranty) - I am an experienced PC "builder" and can happily take computers apart etc.
I hope someone can offer some advice. Why don't Toshiba have a support line you can call for help??

Unfortunately I have not fixed the problem yet.
As explained in my original post I am reluctant to take the computer back for repair as a) I cannot be without it and b) it has company sensitive data on it.
However, if it will not invalidate the warranty to put a different hard disk in it, I may do that and then use the recovery CD to put it back to how it was when purchased. Then make sure the problem still exists (to eliminiate software issues 100%) and then maybe take it back to the shop - this solves reason b) above, but not reason a) - Maybe I should just take a holiday!!
Once it's fixed I just put my original hard disk back in.

TS2784 I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic New York time. Throughout the day the clock keeps changing times on its own by hours. Sometimes in is correct. Sometimes it is wrong.

I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic at New York time. Throughout the day the date and time on the phone keeps changing on its own and often by a few hours. Sometimes it goes to the correct time. Sometimes it is way out. Is there something wrong with my settings?

This is a known issue with the iPhone 5. Turn off the automatic time setting for the time being. It will most likely be corrected in an upcoming update to iOS if the tech press is to be believed.

Why does my iPod clock keep changing and then I can't access anything without connecting charger

Recently my iPod keeps changing time. It's seems to be losing time. When this happens I can't access anything without connecting lead and turning it off briefly.

Could the battery be dying?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

System Center keeps changing Microsoft Updates to previous upstream server

1. Previously we configured the SCCM2012 R2 to talk to an upstream server which has now been decommissioned.
2. We did the following to tell the SCCM2012R2 to go to Microsoft Update for updates by
a. Clicking on Administration Workspace > Site Configuration > Servers and Site System Roles > Select the Primary Site Server> Clicked on the Home Ribbon > Configure Site Components> it shows that the SCCM2012 is configured to
Synchronize from Microsoft Update.
b. On the Windows Server Update Services, > Options > Update source, it is set to
wsus.instance.com
c. I changed it to Synchronize from Windows Update
About 1 hour later, in the WCM.log
This keeps appearing

We have uninstalled and reinstalled the SUP but the problem still persist, SCCM2012 keeps configuring the WSUS to talk to the upstream server, this resulted in we are unable to get the latest Endpoint definition updates to distribute to client computers.
Please advise, thank you

It sounds that you've been in the WSUS console before and configured it that way, but I'm only guessing here. In your case I'd uninstall the SUP and then remove the WSUS role from the server. Re-add the WSUS role and only perform the initial configuration.
Then install the SUP again and configure it from the ConfigMgr console only.

Clock keeps changing

I set my clock for a regular reading but it keeps switching to military time.

Hi Verafy306, sorry to hear that you are not able to get the time to stay consistent on your computer. So I can better research this issue, may I please have the exact model number of your computer? Also, what is the exact version of Windows you are using? Is it Windows 7 or Windows 8? They are two different operating systems entirely. Once I have all the information that I have requested, I will then be able to research the issue and hopefully get it resolved for you.
Thank you for your time and patience.

System properties keep changing !!

After applying the latest service pack our System property 'user.dir'
keeps alternating between
e:\weblogic and e:\weblogic\bin each time we stop and restart the server
Does anyone have any clues on this behavior ?
thanks
Joe Ryan

See same pb in weblogic.support.install.
I don't have this pb on NT with WLS started as a service (user.dir =
v:\winnt\system32)

Clock keeps changing back 4 hours..why?

it is set to Boston, USA time zone but every two days or so it reverts back 4 hours. Is there something I am missing?

I too am having the same problem.
Even if I manually set the time instead of using the time servers the time decreases by 4 hours.

Timer misbehaves if user changes system clock

Can I write a java 'stopwatch' application that records the time between two events, even if the user changes the system clock in between?

I have implemented a short test program because I discovered that different JVMs (Windows <-> Linux) behaved different.
e.g.: if you change the system clock the nanotimer is stable in Windows but not in Linux. (stable means that the nanotime reports the correct elapsed time no matter if the system clock has changed).
Use the test program to check which version is reliable for you OS and your JVM.

Install changes system clock

how come when i install arch, and then boot into windows later, my system clock is changed to like 8 hours ago. has this happened to anyone before?

And what time is it really ?
What I would do now : decide for yourself if you want the CMOS clock in localtime or not. Your decision will probably depend on your Windows system. If you have WIndows98 (first edition) or earlier, you have no choice: CMOS should be localtime. If you have Win98SE or later then carefully check in your Windows system how you set it up. It *usually* wants it in localtime, but it can handle UTC, therefore check your configuration.
Now, you know how you want your CMOS/BIOS clock to be.
Now boot into Arch and edit /etc/rc.conf accordingly. Note, however that your TIMEZONE is incorrect. You probably want something like
TIMEZONE=America/New_York
TIMEZONE=EST
Note, that the first automatically switches between daylight savings time, whereas the second does not necessarily. The value you give to TIMEZONE has to actually exist as a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ (I.e. no matter weather you live in Boston, D.C., Miami, Atlanta, Philladelphia you always choose America/New_York) !
Now that you have edited /etc/rc.conf correctly, I would boot into the BIOS and set the CMOS clock there correctly.

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
Thanks in advance.

1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

Boot fail after system clock changed

Hi!
I've changed the system clock in BIOS, after that I've got an error message.
Grub was loading until reached the /dev/sda3 check and suddenly stopped and asked the root pass.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to type in my pass because of hu_HU charset.
After that I restored the original date and now everything is fine except the date (At the moment the date is: 2009 Monday 17:35:13)
How Can I set up the correct date and what was that error?
I appreciate every help.
Thx.

MadTux wrote:Did you see an error message? Could have been a problem with the file system. I guess if the date in the file system is before the current date, this could cause problems. Why not use ntp? Then you always have the correct time.
That was the problem I guess. I don't know ntp. I was wondering if you'd tell me more about ntp.

When i boot my ibook the clock and date keep changing?

when i boot my ibook the clock and date keep changing?

If the battery is dead (or not installed), this will happen. The solution is to keep it plugged into the adapter.
Also, resetting the PMU may help.
