The clock stopped on my iMac?

The clock stopped and when I hold cursor over it the spinning wheel appears.

Use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit SystemUIServer, and then relaunch it from /System/Library/CoreServices/.

  • When I lock my iPhone 5c, the clock stops running.

    Hi.
    I have a Green iPhone 5c (GSM).
    Every time I lock the phone, it - without fail -  stops keeping time.
    The clock just stops.
    Also, my WiFi and Bluetooth crash, and "flicker" often.
    Thanks, Will.

    Easy fix and you shouldn't have wasted a trip to the store. To fix, simpy backup your iPhone via iTunes and then click the Restore iPhone button. Once you restore and add everything back, if the problem still continues you will need to restore the iphone again, however you will then need to set it up as a new device and start adding your data back manually. This will isolate what's causing this issue. However the initial backup/restore should take care of the issue. It's not a hardware problem - it's a software issue.

  • The sound stops and freezes iMac

    Regards
    For some time my iMac stops playing sounds, such as iTunes, games and movies. When that happens, the computer freezes momentarily, which is annoying.
    I noticed that the problem seems to be software, not hardware, but I'm not clear what will be, because I do not notice anything strange in Activity Monitor or when Disk Utility repair permissions.
    Any idea or solution for this case?

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
    If there's no improvement, or if you're not aware of having installed anything that fits the description, post again.

  • I have a clock VI that I attached to several other VIs to keep track of running times but for some reason the clock stops at 24 minutes. Why?

    I got this VI form a member of the forum. He used it for the same reason so I figured that it worked. I can't seem to fine the reason that it stops at 24 minutes. Could it been something on my computer stopping it. But I have run this VI on several PCs and got the same results.

    CLOCK.vi ‏40 KB

    I am not sure what the VI is supposed to be doing. It seems like it will keep track of time it takes to execute x (=3600xNumeric+1) numbers of iterations. How long it takes depends on the system. If the VI runs slower on a particular system, it will take longer to execute the same number of loop iterations than on another station. For example, on my machine it took 6 min to execute the VI with Numeric=1. Another factor is the wait time set in the loop to =100. I don't see anywhere this taken into the consideration.
    I am sending you another VI that counts the time from the start of execution until the Stop button is pressed. Of course, you can replace the Stop button with a condition that suites your needs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does the menubar lock up (clock stops and rainbow-wheel keeps spinning)? I have a 2010 MBP with latest version of Mountain Lion.

    Since installing Mountain Lion the Menubar on top keeps freezing. As a result the clock stops and the keyboard is not available.
    I hope this can be fixed!
    Best,
    Anci

    Hi Brasov12311,
    No, I have not received any responses. I had hoped that it would have been addressed through an update, but not such luck yet. The menubar appears to work for a while after restarting my MBP, but then it just stops. This is really enervating since I often need to use different keyboards - it really slows down my work!
    Best,

  • How to increase the length of the clock signals on NI8451

    I'm using NI8451 to read data from a linear technology ADC chip.
    Using a scope, I found the clock signal only lasts for one byte (8-bit) during the read/write process,
    ie. the clock signal is turned on for one byte period (8 clocks) and then is off for about 10-20us,
    after that, the clock is on again for next byte.
    Is there a way to change the length of the clock signal? In my case, I need about 96 clocks to flush out the ADC data.
    But it looks like NI8451 only can generate 8 clocks one time.
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Hi JHXU, 
    Are you using SPI or I2C? 
    With SPI, essentially the clock stops toggling when there is no more data transmitted. You could try implementing a delay in your data transmission to ensure that the clock runs for time you require. However, to add a delay, you need to use the Advanced 845x SPI functions. In CVI, the command for adding a delay is 
    int32 ni845xSpiScriptDelay ( uInt32 ScriptHandle, uInt8 Delay );
    More information on the SPI Advanced API can be found in the NI-845x Help or in this tutorial. 
    With I2C, I think you would just need to toggle the clock line (SCL) high. There is also a delay function in the Advanced I2C functions that may allow you to do this.

  • Clock stops on Pre 2

    A search reveals major issues with the internal clock in many Palm products but I cannot find any for the Pre 2 / WebOS 2.x.
    My problem is that every time I turn off the screen the clock stops. Network time on or off makes no difference. The clock works if the phone is on the touchstone charger regardless if the display is on or off.
    There is no clock sync app for the pre 2 and I have verified I have the latest WebOS. The phone has behaved this way since I received it two weeks ago. Restarts or taking out the battery does not help either.
    Any suggestions?

    It does appear that app is not avail at your location, Sweden right, so wont be avail on you catalog   Normally this app covers time drifting over time but not a total stop.  Does you device have the 2.0.1 webOS update?  If not, go into the Update application to get the webOS 2.0.1 update to see how that fairs.  If nogo still, then its time to run the webos doctor at palm.com/ROM to repair that aspect of the OS.  Keep us posted.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 clock stops

    I have a server where the clock stops running. It just locks up in place. I can login and it will be stopped at a time and date 3 days ago. I have tried setting it to the time of another server but receive "System Error 5 has occurred, access is denied".
    I also tried syncing with internet time but also receive "access is denied" I am logged in with the local administrator account. My last thought is that there is something wrong with the motherboard/BIOS on this server. I was hoping someone may have
    seen this before and could lend some ideas.
    Vincent Sprague

    I'd agree. I'd check the system board manufacturer's web site for an updated system bios.

  • NB205 completely freezes and clock stops

    I have an aforementioned Toshiba NB205-N312, completely stock and less than 6 months old. After about three months of use, the computer began to completely freeze, and the clock stops. The only thing that corrects the issues is to "hard power-down" by holding the power button until the computer shuts down. On restart, everything works great until the next lockup, anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes down the road. I've seen another post for something similar that suggests a CMOS battery problem or bad RAM (again, completely stock here). Anything I can do to point the finger at one or the other without spending $$ to randomly replace stuff? Thanks!

    I am getting the same symptoms (freeze, clock stop, hard boot required) AND all the Event Logs have nothing within 8 minutes of the freeze. I have updated drivers, bios, etc. I am a bit stymied at this time.  It can happen within minutes of being turned on or after hours of use. No pattern there that I can see. Just turned off the HDD protection feature since the freeze seems to happen less frequently when I am sitting with it stable on the desk than when my wife is on the couch with it on her lap. I know reaching on that theory. I'll give it some time. 
    One characteristic is that each time it happens we get a rectangular light red rectangular block at wherever the cursor is at the moment. The cursor need NOT be in motion. It happens just sitting and looking at some web page.
    I keep telling myself, "I gotta be smarter than it" but so far I have not proven that to be true.  
    UPDATE: I have experienced the lockup only twice since I turned off the HDD protection feature and those were immediately after I made the change. It has been used quite a bit since then so I remain optimistic, but I must admit I cannot explain why there would be those two lockups if this really is the avoidance to the lockup problem. I remain hopeful that I am starting to get smarter than it. Will see. ThE

  • Clock stops running halting all operations on LaserJet M1522n MFP

    Greetings . . .
    My LaserJet M1522n MFP worked flawlessly for nearly a year.  Then, the clock stops advancing in the display and all functions stop.  No error messages.
    Curiously, when I reboot, it will perform any function selected immediately on reboot . . . until the clock stops advancing within 3 to 5 minutes.  NOTE:  Whenever I reboot, the clock shows the correct time.
    Have written to HP, but did not receive a reply!
    At times, the unit struggles to reboot requiring it be turned off.  It seems it must sit for 5 or more minutes before it can boot again.
    My guess is that the problem is very minor, or, a corrupted boot sequence.
    Any insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated.  The unit is not used much and is 2 years old now.
    THANX

  • T410 Clock Stops on Standby

    I have a number of T410 Machines that are having an issue with their windows clocks.
    When ever the laptops are put on Standby the Clock stops and doesn't start again until you log back in.
    ie Put on Standby at 17:00 on Friday Evening Resume on Monday at 9:00 at which point the clock shows 9:00 Monday, Restarting the machine etc makes no difference.
    As our clients machines are locked down the customers then have to get the helpdesk to amend the time for them.
    The strange thing is it only loses the time once.  If you put the Laptop on Standby for an hour it loses 1 Hour but each subsequent time you put it on Standby after that the clock carries on as usual although still 1 hour out????
    Any suggestions welcomed 

    Adaspoo,
    I too have a very similiar problem with T-410s bios clock. In my scenario there are many (about 30) laptops that are placed into standby almost daily. At random times with no ryhme or reason, the bios clock stops at the moment they were placed in standby. When they are powered back up the time on windows taskbar shows the standby time and date. If NTP gets its network time it updates within seconds. If NTP query fails the time is out of sync for an average of 15 minutes or so.
    If i take a laptop that is out of sync and immediately power it down and load into the Bios I see the time is out of whack there as well. As i understand it, if NTP cant get the correct time on the network or internet it will default to bios time, which for some reason is whacked.
    When this first occured we were running Bios version 1.32 We have since been updating to the latest version which is 1.36.
    This seems to help a great deal and the out of syncs are way less common but they stil happen.
    Right now I have Lenovo Engineers looking into the hardware/Bios side of things and Microsoft Engineers looking into the software/networking side of things. So far everyone is just scratching their heads.

  • IMac starts with sound but remains with Apple logo and the clock running indefinetely

    After software upgrade ( from mavericks to new mavericks ) iMac doesn't start anymore. It remains always in the same mode: after the sound of start the Apple logo and the clock that runs indefinitely without the start of the software. Someone knows what to do?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 10
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 11
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 12
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • My entire iCloud mail system is messed up. I have worked on this for days. It works sometimes after I restart my computer and then just stops for no reason. In addition when the mail stops it refuses to let me reboot my iMac. Any ideas?

    I'm praying somebody here has an idea to help me. iCloud has suddenly gone nuts on my iMac. It works only when it wants to work and then stops for no reason. When it stops I am no longer able to click the mail icon and open any mail even the old stuff that was there. No changes were made to my computer. This all started out of the blue. When the mail stops working it will not close out to allow me to restart my computer. It won't even allow a forced quit. No changes were made to my machine. My iPhone still get mail but only after I click the mail icon. It does not pull mail in and show how many new emails I have like it did before. I have a me.com email if that helps. Any ideas would be truly appreciated.

    It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
    Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
    Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

  • How to 'Stop the Clock' for SLA when in customer action?

    Hi
    Does anyone know if the functionality exists so that when a support message goes into 'customer action' or 'solution proposed' status the SLA stops counting down until the message is put back into 'in process'?
    The SLA is out of your control when it is waiting for an action from the user so it should be possible for the clock to stop on the SLA automatically when this is the case and the SLA should re-start and re-calculate the new 'completion by' date.
    I know that this is standard in many other types of Helpdesk software but can't find the way to do this with Service Desk.  Can anyone help?
    We are on SM7 SP22. 
    Thanks very much for your help.
