Time and Date keeps changing

Every time I connect my ipod touch 2.1.1 the date and time keeps changing. is it a glitch? i also tried restoring my ipod but it didnt help, so please fix this

Thanks. This solves the time and date issue. But I still have a problem when I do the following: Settings>General>Time & Date, then the main screen (with all of the icons) is displayed, I never see the time, date screen, it goes back after about 1 second to main screen The same thing happens when I do the following: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>I then scroll to the bottom of the page and I get the main page again. I never get to touch on contacts or calendar, only mail. Please help.

Time and date keep changing

It started happening a week or so ago. Every time I boot the time is changed. I set the date from the bios but arch shows the time wrong. Also because of this I sometimes get problems during bootup because the partition looks like it was last mounted in the future. Can anyone help me out?

Aside from possible hardware failure, automatic time adjust could be wrong. Try:
cat /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime
0.026639 1255063716 0.000000
1255063716
UTC
The first field should be a rather low value. If not, delete /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and reboot.
If this does not help, make sure your hardware clock is set right (see: man hwclock). Make sure your current system time displays right and then issue (as root):
hwclock --systohc
Finally (or beforemost) check the HARDWARECLOCK setting in /etc/rc.conf. Does it match your system (either "UTC" or "localtime")?
BTW: This problem comes up often. Just search the forum.

TIme and Date keep changoing

I am running the New 21.5 iMac with 10.6.1 and bootcamp with windows 7. My time and date keep changing, going forward 2-3 days and changing from AM to PM. This happens when I boot into Windows 7 or put it to sleep. I tried setting it to use the Apple NTP server and setting it manually, but neither keep it correct. Also, this is another issue, the display drivers do not offer the highest or correct resolution in Windows 7, it only shows a generic VGA display adapter in device manager.
TIA for any help!

I do not use Windows on my Macs (and have no intention of doing so). Having said that, there is a forum for people who do here:

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.

Time and date settings change when phone is powered down (not shut off)..

I recently installed the iOS 8 update and immediately noticed that the time and date settings would change when I powered down my iPhone. I did not turn off my phone, only clicked the button to power down or save power. I have tried all the fixes, suggestions, etc., but I am still having issues. In the power down state, I am able to receive phone calls or texts but when I go into my phone, the time and date will be off. It stops from the moment I click the button to power down the phone. Please don't get this confused with turning off the phone completely. This happens when I click the button for power down or power save, however it is described.
So, how do I fix it? Is the app/software for the clock the problem? Is the battery distribution the problem? For some reason, in power down mode, the clock is not receiving constant power in order to keep accurate time. It stops the moment I click the button. Any suggestions? fixes, etc. I could try. Apple support techs were absolutely no help what-so-ever.

This sounds exactly like what is going on with my phone, http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/10/19/iphone-5-date-time-glitch/

Post relates to: Palm Z22

I have gone through the Manuel and I have been through this whole website. Nothing regarding time not working and how to fix it. I have attempted to I set the time several times and it doesn't work I have been in Preferences and tried to check the time zone/daylight savings time and several other things that may affect it to no avail. I have like I said tried a hard reset deleting everything and then hotsyncing again. I am at a loss. Is there something I should download? Maybe try a hard reset again? I am not a computer wiz this is my first palm pilot so I am lost.

IPhone 4S time and date keeps resetting, despite being set to automatically do so.

After having recently upgraded my iOS to 7.0.4, my Verizon iPhone 4S has started to re-set the time and date every now and then at random. It does this, despite me having my Settings set to automatically set the date and time based on my location. I have called Verizon about this and all they had me do was to reset my network connections and reset my roaming capabilities...and despite me doing that this morning, the time re-set itself again this afternoon. I have found the only solution has been for me to power off my phone completely and then once on again, set the phone either into Airplane mode for a second - or to just wait until the Verizon signal switches the phone back to being the correct time and date on its own. I have also found that these issues have started to affect my ability to send and receive iMessages, as well. For some reason, when the date/time re-sets, the iMessage option becomes un-selected and I have to manually go back and turn that functionality back on. Anyone else having these same issues? It's incredibly frustrating and I'm not sure what else I can do save for constantly hard, re-starting my iPhone everytime I notice the time and date is out of whack. Also it's hard for me to tell if this is an Apple hardware issue/bug that just needs to be fixed - or something to do with Verizon. Any tips/info would be appreciated.

Try setting your time to manual. This way, the iPhone is the one controlling the time. As you correctly understand, when it is on auto, it is controlled by Verizon and their individual towers. If after setting the time to manual it works, then I would say it isn't a phone issue, but a Verizon one. Do you frequent the same area when this occurs? It could very well be an issue with a particular tower in your area and Verizon would need to check that. If the time goes off again while on manual, then it could be the phone. User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Try each in order until the problem is fixed. If it cannot be, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the phone looked at for hardware issues.

EMate 300 Time and Date keeps Resetting

I got an eMate 300 for Christmas 2013, and a problem I've come to notice is that when I set the time and date, and then tap the mini clock in the corner to re-open the clock, it's either corrupted, or it is reset to default. Is this the memory, or is it a bug? My documents have timestamps on them, and I don't want them to get scrambled up. Thank you in advance.

Very few people have eMates anymore. You might find the answer on http://www.lowendmac.com/
or http://www.pda-soft.de/en/hardware/emate/disassembly/disassembly.html
You might want to e-mail them to find out if a PRAM battery exists for it.

The time and date keeps unlocking, why wont it stay locked?

everytime i start my computer the date and time has changed to some crazy past date lite 1969. I fix and lock it and when i shutdown and return it has unlocked and changed again. How do I keep it locked.

PowerBooks, with a couple of minor exceptions, have a clock/PRAM backup battery inside, usually a Li-Ion rechargeable battery that can last nearly ten years or which can punk out after five years or so, depending on the luck of the draw. When the clock comes up set to baseline (midnight GMT January 1, 1970) repeatedly, that is a dead giveaway that the backup battery is kaput. That being said, the main battery should hold things up for quite a while, unless it is tanking as well. (More on that below.) There are relatively easy fixes for the problem that we can point you to.
What is the specific PowerBook model giving you this problem? Screen size, processor speed and machine model. Launch System Profiler in your Utilities folder in the Applications folder. You should see a Hardware Overview like this in Tiger:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name:          PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model:          PowerBook3,5
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.5.3f2
Copy and paste that into your reply, Do not include the Serial Number for the machine. Then click the Power line under Hardware in System Profiler and copy the battery and charger information there into your reply. That should give us some information about your main battery as well. It should look something like this:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed:          Yes

Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5527

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

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.

RE: Time and Date Changed by itself

The date and time will change to the wrong one automatically especially after the batt died. This repeated itself regardless on how many times i readjust the time and date to the right one. Someone please help me.

I had the same problem today. I also have the iPod 4g, no problems up until today. First make sure you calender is set to "Gregorian, you can do this by going to Settings --> General --> International, and you will see the calender options, mark Gregorian. Still didn't work? Try this: I experimented a little, and what i did was: First, I went to Settings --> General --> Date and Time --> Set Date & Time (before doing this make sure you're in the correct time zone) and here you can change the time and date. But, if it changes automatically, go to the date, and you may have the same problem here, but here's what i did. I couldn't change the month, or day, but i could change the year. Change the year to 2011, and then all the other options should come up. Hope this helped!

I want to take my apple tv from my home in Canada and us it at the Cabin in the States, but can't seem to get it to set up in the states? It just keeps asking for time and date over and over.
