Time and date preferences crashing

Hi. Every time I click on the clock on the menu bar and go down the menu and click on "Open Time and Date...", it never works. It always stalls System Prefences, although it will occasionally open after not responding for a minute or two. This has only started happening recently, although I can't pinpoint any event that might be causing it.

Usually a preference pane problem can be fixed by trashing
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache in Home > Library > Caches folderIf this alone doesn't fix things after a logout/login, then trash it again (because it will have regenerated another bad file), together with
com.apple.systempreferences.plist in Home > Library > Preferences folder,
and in the Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder, the two files: com.apple.systempreferences.xxxxxx.plist and com.apple.PrefPane.Network.xxxxxx.plist, where xxxxxx = a hexadecimal numeric string.Post back to say if this works.

Try:

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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Time and date problems

Since I updated my iTouch to v 2.0, it's been having problems keeping the date and time. It usually reverts to 7 days ago and about 6 hours earlier. I had no problems when using v 1.1.4
Has anyone else had these problems?

In many cases, this occurs when you connect your iPod to the computer when iTunes has an incorrect backup date. I recently experienced this issue as well, and was able to fix it with little difficulty. Here's what I did.
1. Disconnect your iPod from the computer.
2. Make sure that the time and date on your computer is correct.
3a. In iTunes, go to Edit => Preferences => Syncing.
3b. You should see your device listed there, along with that same $#%& incorrect date and time. Select it and press "Remove Backup".
4. Close out of and reopen iTunes.
5. Reconnect your iPod. It will create a new backup to replace the one you just deleted, with the (hopefully) correct date and time, and your iPod's date and time will change to mirror that of your computer's.
I hope that helps!

IBook G3's Time and Date

Hello everyone,
I have an iBook G3 and every time I turn it on I have to change the Time and Date because it's way off the current Time and Date. It says "It may cause some applications to behave erratically" somewhere close to that. What seems to be the problem and What should I do?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi and welcome to the forum,
This happens anytime you take power off the iBook so:
Go to System Preferences > Date and time > click on "Set Date & Time automatically"
Now each time you start up the iBook after power has been off you will get the same warning but ~ 10 seconds later the iBook will automatically update the time if you are connected to the Net. Otherwise a good battery will prevent this.

Mavericks toolbar icons missing, time and date as well

The time and date, wifi and other icons are missing from the toolbar. Other icons are missing from the finder window and the dismiss and minimize icons are missing from all windows. I have tried to delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file and also tried to reboot in safe mode to no avail. When I do reboot, the some, but not all, of the top bar icons appear then disappear. It must be a plist file but I haven't a clue as to which one

As far as the time and date display, have you checked to see that System Preferences > Date & Time are setup correctly:

Has anyone else had issues with changing how the time and date look on the status menu in Mavericks?

I'm trying to make it so the year displays, but haven't been able to figure out how to change that. I have the Day of the Week, Month, Day and Time only and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that in the Date & Time or the Language & Region Settings.

There is no option in System Preferences. However, it may be possible to set it with a "defaults write" command.
This page shows how to set the time and date format in the Terminal, but doesn't show whether you can add the year.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/75116/i-want-to-change-clock-from-12h-t o-24h-mode-via-terminal
If you can find a description of Apple's date format code that includes the year, then it may be possible. Or not.
I'm guessing Apple thinks only Time Travellers need to ask what year it is...

MacBook Pro is forgetting time and date and wep password

Hi,
My Macbook Pro is forgetting the time and date even though I have automatically set time and date checked.
It is also forgetting it's wep password.
This is a pretty new computer.
I've seen a few posts about this, but it doesn't seem like anyone has a solution yet. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem and it started right after the Apple Store replaced the logic board in my MacBook. Every time I restart the computer, it says that none of my wireless networks can be found and when I select my network, I have to re-enter the password. It warns me that the date and time were forgotten. Also, two firewall alerts come up asking if I want to allow access to a DNS agent and something else that seems to be related to wi-fi access.
I'm considering tossing out some preference files or resetting the NVRAM as troubleshooting measures.

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!

How to get System Time and Date?

Hi, may i know how do i get the System's current Time and Date?? And i need to format them into 2 separate String, that's Time is a String, Date is another String. Pls guide me. Thanks a lot!

What's the problem? The previous example was pretty clear. Just adapt it to your purposes...
        Date currentDateAndTime = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
        SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        System.out.println(dateFormat.format(currentDateAndTime));
        System.out.println(timeFormat.format(currentDateAndTime));

How to get system time and date with PHP

Dear Mr.Craig,
Thanx a lot. We are running SRM 5.0 (RAMP - Implementation).
My initial requirement is to write a server-side script to display server date and time. Could you give more inside on how to achieve it?
Regards,
Deva.

Perhaps that will help.

I am trying to find an app that will track the usage on my iphone with times and dates to see what was accessed on my phone when I was away from it and what if anything was done eg deleted messages viewed facebook etc?

Hi! I am trying to find an app that with track everything that is done on my phone with times and dates? im not really woried about call usage and texts sent I need it to view what has been done - for example:
Messages received
Messages deleted
Facebook viewed
Messages viewed
Internet viewed and what?
I just have an issue with someone using my phone - I used to track this through double clicking the home button and roughly knowing in what order I had been on things but they have sussed this one!
Thank you!!

No way to do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. Why don't you just passcode protect your phone? That way no one but you can use it...unless they know your passcode.
