Time/Clock frozen, how to reset?

hey there, so as the title suggests...
my clock on the top right of the screen is frozen i put my cursor over it and i just get the beach ball loading thing...
is there any way i can reset it or relaunch it?
im too scared to restart the entire mac, incase not having a clock messes up the system.
please help.

Open your Date & Time preference window. Is the date & time correct, and is the clock moving?

Macbook internal battery frozen - how to reset?

Hi all,
I have here a late model macbook with an internal battery - it seems to have frozen on startup, the screen is just white. I've tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds, but it doesn't reset. Even if I close the screen, the backlight for the display remains lit. I'm sort of stuck trying to figure out how to reset this thing, in normal cases I would remove the battery but obviously its not possible in this case.
If anyone can advise where to go from here it would be appreciated. Otherwise I'm guessing I just need to leave it to one side until the battery finally drains.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Dave, thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I can't get to the initial boot phase to reset the SMC, as the macbook had frozen with a white screen after starting - i.e. it was running and I had no way of rebooting it (as mentioned, holding down the power button had no effect). I left it at the office overnight so the battery should be well and truly drained by now, I'm hoping I'll be able to plug in the power and reset the SMC as you suggest.

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

How to reset the location of a Time Machine taken to a different time zone?

I have recently moved my Time machine to a different country and time zone. I have reset the whole thing, entered the right time zone in the manual set up, but it still displays the old location when automatically searching for time zone. Also, when using an iPod Touch and Google earth or Maps, it shows the old location as the current one. How do I reset the location on my Time Machine to match the current one?

+I had done that and it does show the correct time on my machine. My question however was about the location setting and it displays my former address and not the current one.+
There are only two settings on the Time Capsule related to location and time.
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Time Capsule tab below the row of icons and you will see time settings and time zone settings
Then click the Wireless tab and then click Wireless Network Options to see the settings for Country location.

How can reset password of bulk users in one time through AD or script?

how can reset password of bulk users in one time through AD or script?

Hello Mr. Lovely,
Do you have ActiveDirectory Module which shipped with Windows Server 2008 R2? If you have it, you can complete this task very easily.
#First, you need to import ActiveDirectory Module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#Second, generate a SecureString which contains the password.
$securePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "P@ssw0rd!" -Force -AsPlainText
#Third, find the Active Directory users ,and use Set-ADAccountPassword for resetng the password.
Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -like "Test*"} | Set-ADAccountPassword -NewPassword $securePwd
Also, you can review following link for more details about the Active Directory cmdlets.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How to reset report to first pagination page each time it runs?

On a report with paging...heres the scenario:
Go to page 2 and run a report.
The report has 100 rows which page by 15 rows at a time.
I go to the 3rd pagination page which has rows 45-60.
I then navigate to page 300 in the application and do whatever.
When I return to page 2, it is still on the 3rd pagination page.
but I want it to return to the 1st pagination page.
How do I make sure every query returns to its first pagination page rather to the page I was last on?
Thanks,
Linda

You can also create a process on Page 2 that resets the pagination based on whether or not the current request is a next/prev page.
Create a pagination reset process on page 2, then condition it with a PL/SQL expression of
(:REQUEST IS NULL) OR (:REQUEST NOT LIKE 'pg_R_%')
This is based on Vikas' recommendation at Re: How to reset pagination
