Time difference between Mac & Windows

I have just successfully installed Windows XP SP2 using boot camp. But the clock in Mac and Windows are always different, for example, if i am running Mac and time is 4.00 p.m; then I restart in Windows, the time in Windows now is 8.00p.m. If then I changed time in Windows and restart again in Mac, the clock in Mac is 12.00p.m (4 hours late). I have tried several times but it stays the same. Is there anyone having the same problem as mine?
ah, 1 more small thing, when using Windows, which button in Mac keyboard is for printscreen? In the manual for Bootcamp, it is said that using fn+f11 but it doesn't work???

autumn_fail:
For Print Screen try using Fn-Shift-F11 combination. Also read *[_This Article_|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1220]*.
As far as your question on the Time difference between Windows and OSx, this is a known issue with Windows and OSx running on a mac. This has to do with how both Operating Systems set the time. One way to handle this is to run time preferences as soon as you log into OSx (after logging out of Windows). Its a pain nonetheless.

8 hours time difference between Mac OS & Windows XP for Macbook

I got my macbook yesterday. Next to the problems I've heard before,today I found that the time for MAC OS is always 8 hours before the time in Windows XP no matter how I adjust the time zone. I've tried many ways, but found no way out. Is there somebody else can give me some tips. Tks!

Why is the time different between Mac OS X and Windows XP on my computer?
The Windows XP and Mac OS X operating systems handle your computer's date and time information differently, so the date and time may be different when you switch operating systems. For best results, use a network time server and resync the date and time whenever you switch operating systems. In Mac OS X, use the “Set date & time automatically” option in the Date & Time preferences. In Windows XP, click the Update Now button in the “Date and Time Properties” control panel.
Nice solution

"I found a better solution to this whole thing. The problem with the Windows clock being off is because the hardware clock (the one on your actual motherboard) is being set to "Universal" time, or GMT, when you shut down your MacOS bootup. When you boot Windows, Windows assumes your clock is set to your local timezone because that's what Windows does by default. This explains why the people who set their MacOS clock to GMT got the right time in Windows... If the hardware clock is being set to "GMT," when it's actually the local time, Windows will pick this setting up as local time as it did before.
To fix this, you need to add a key to your Windows system registry to tell Windows that your hardware clock will always be GMT.
* WARNING: Editing your registry improperly can render your Windows installation inoperable. Proceed VERY carefully. I am not responsible if you mess something up. *
The short solution for people who know how to edit the registry:
A DWORD key called HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal needs to have the value of "1"
The step-by-step solution is as follows:
1. Boot Windows
2. Click Start --> Run and type regedit. Click OK
3. The Windows Registry Editor should pop up. Navigate within the explorer to:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
4. Click on the TimeZoneInformation "folder" from the navigation pane if you haven't already done so.
5. This assumes the correct key doesn't exist. If it does, you will just change the existing key's value: Right click on the white space within the folder (If you don't have a right mouse button, you may need to download a program called applemouse to emulate the "control-click" of the apple 1-button mouse). Select new --> DWORD Value. Title the key "RealTimeIsUniversal" (No quotes). Set the value to "1" (No quotes again). Hexidecimal should be fine.
6. Either reboot and set the clock in MacOS or set the clock in Windows. You should now be able to reboot into either OS and have a correct clock."

HT1604 Is there any difference between Mac OS Extended Format and ExFat?

Is there any difference between Mac OS Extended Format and ExFat? I read in a blog that the ExFat was a good way to format an external drive because it avoided many of the pitfalls of the other formats, as long as it is supported by the operating system. I tried to format my new Seagate drive, and got an invalid option error. I was able to format it in Mac OS Extended format. Can you please tell me if this is similar to ExFat. Thanks.

The Mac OS format can only be natively read to and written to by a computer running the Mac OS. This creates a problem if the user wishes his external, or other drive to have seamless compatibility between two different OS's, such as Windows and Mac. Yes, there are software solutions that enable a Windows PC to work with a drive formatted as Mac OS, but it gets complicated if you wish that drive to have compatibility "on the fly" with any PC you may encounter.
It turns out that the format known as ExFAT is able to be natively read by both a Mac and a PC, without running any additional drivers on either machine. ExFAT also doesn't have some of the limitations of FAT32, which both OS's will also read/write.
ExFAt is not perfect though. Formatting the drive as Mac OS Extended has some advantages on a Mac. First, it is the only format that permits all functionality of the Mac OS, such as using the drive for Time Machine.
ExFAt is often thought of as the best middleground for an external partition/drive that needs to have easy cross platform compatibility between a Mac and PC running Vista or Windows 7.

What's the difference between mac app store, app store, iTunes store?

what's the difference between mac app store, app store and whatever itunes stores out there?

If you saying that the App Store on my phone and the App Store section of itunes on my computer are the same store,
It is.
could you please be kind enough to show me how to reach the 724 apps on my computer (just to look at, not to buy) that I get on my iPhone when I type: "chinese transla".
If I search the iTunes Store for "chinese translation", I get dozens of apps listed. Make sure you're searching the iTunes Store, not your library. The search box should say "search store". Also confirm that both your iPhone and iTunes on your computer are pointed to the same country's iTunes Store. Different countries' stores carry different items, so it's possible your computer is pointed to a different country's store. Look at the bottom of the iTunes window and make sure the round flag icon is the one for your country.
Maybe the App Shopper has all the same apps that are on my phone? I just looked, they say they have 1,000 apps. Is this a safe site to buy from?
App Shopper is not a store. The only store you can buy iPhone apps from is the iTunes Store. App Shopper is just a compendium site that lists apps that are available in the iTunes Store. When you click to buy an app, you're taken to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

Difference between Mac Pro and Mac XServer

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is any difference between Mac Pro and the Mac XServer - at the OS level? Meaning, if I design an application on Mac Pro would it run seamlessly on XServer or do I need to care about a few things.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server are presently at the Tiger 10.4.10 release, with Mac OS X Server having various added pieces and features, and having a few structural and configuration differences.
* Do both of them support the ipv6 protocol
Yes; both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server both offer IPv6.
* do both of them support LDAP and PAM based authentication
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server have LDAP support, yes. Mac OS X Server has LDAP authentication, DNS and a variety of other servers built in. Mac OS X is configured as a client, though there is the Apache web server.
Haven't looked for PAM for either platform.
* Do both of them support the same level of Java ( I understand we need 1.5 or higher for Tiger / Leapord)
Java itself is the same on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, though Mac OS X Server has server-oriented pieces of Java present. And it's still write once, debug everywhere.
No Leopard questions are permissible here at this time; Leopard details are NDA.
* Do the compilers (gcc) have different compilation options - maybe xServer uses some better optimized flags that handle large volumes of data and network traffic.
AFAIK, there are no differences in gcc defaults. Nor would I expect any. Handling volumes of data is left to the programmer. (I'm not even sure how a compiler author would even implement that sort of difference.)
* Is there any difference in the behavior of the way the libraries ...
I'd expect the exact same behavior the programmer requested would occur with both platforms.
Now as for what I expect is the root of your question, yes, you'll likely want to test your application on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server software platforms. There can exist very hard to predict details such as cases where dual NICs or the aforementioned directory differences that have tossed a few applications off the rails and into the weeds; have caused applications to fail.
You can choose to install Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro. Probably the 10-client, because you probably aren't planning to serve piles of clients from the Mac Pro.
An overview of Mac OS X Server is here:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
Now as to whether or not I would expect run-time differences, no. But I've been at this way too long and have chased way to many weird bugs to make any promises here.

If you look at the table which is output of the given query , there is column called "STATE_ID" It shows the current state ie open or closed or all report.
The column 'PREVIOUS_STATE' shows the state before the current state. .In the table in 2nd row in previous_state column there is state_id = 1 (open)which is the state before 'all report state'

How to measure time difference between zero crossing of a sine wave and rise time of a pulse on a same graph?

I have a 50Hz sine wave and a pulse signal on a same graph. The phase difference between two is between 0-90 degrees.
Now I need to calculate the time difference between (when the sine wave crosses zero volts) and (when the pulse rises). The frequency will stay approximately same for both signals.
The application is for a three phase generator. In simple words, when the time difference between the zero-crossing of sine wave and the pulse rises increases, that means that the load on the generator has increases.
I am a beginner user of LabView (version 9, 2009), maybe it is a very simple problem but I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days and coudln't figure anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using DAQ USB-6008 to measure these voltages and pulse from the generator and a sensor
I have attached a jpg (a graph that i just made with excel to explain). The time 't' is what I am trying to measure
Cheers

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Thanks for the code but I'm afraid it won't work. Like you said the probability of choosing a value that is on both graphs may not happen. This is something that I would like the code to do automatically.
But I did use the previous code posted and made some modifications to it and it seems to work perfectly. Now the next thing is to be able to get just that one value that tells you the first time difference.
Here is what I get using that code.
As you can see from the t Values. I only need the one that is highlighted. If there is a way to filter out the rest it would be great.
I was thinking of a while loop and as soon as the value is higher than 3E-5 it would store the number and stop the loop, but I'm not too familiar with arrays in labview.
Here is the the code modified.
As you can see, it wasn't that big of a modification and it still is your code.
I will keep trying.
Thanks for the help

What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

hello all
what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
2) Variable Window
3) Main Window in SAP SCRIPT

Hi,
Window Types
When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
You can choose between three types:
Constant Windows (CONST)
Variable Windows (VAR)
Main Windows (MAIN)
Constant Windows (CONST)
Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR.
Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.
Variable Windows (VAR)
The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears.
The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated;
the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike.
The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form.
For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
It controls the page break.
It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to
output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form.
The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

Execution time difference between SELECT & UPDATE statement in JDBC Sender.

Hi Experts,
In my scenario, I have used the JDBC Sender Adapter with the SELECT and UPDATE statement.
Now the problem is in between the execution of Select and update statement, few more entries are coming in the same DB Table.
So result of this is updation take place for those entries which are not even picked up by the select statement.
Can we avoid this execution time difference between the SELECT & UPDATE statemet on JDBC Sender side???
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

Hi
Use serializable option in additional parameters, now all new entries would also be updated.

How can I measure the time difference between spikes (interspike intervals)

I have used NI USB-6008 (DAQ) to sample a continous signal, after sampling I compared the amplitude of the resulted signal with a value. If the amplitude is greater than a specific value (threshold) then it can pass. Now I want to measure the time difference between the resulted samples. The samples look like spikes. (May be if I trigger a timer, then I can measuer the time difference, but I have not seen such a timer).
Thanks in advance,
Saraydin

Oops just occured to me that you are using a 6009 which is not very fast, 48ks/sec, this will not get you very much time resolution and you could have issues seeing much of a 50 us sample. Another approach is to use the counter but you would have to preprocess the spikes to generate a trigger for the counter.

How to measure time difference between two continous encoder pulse (PULSE A & PULSE B)

im trying to figure out the time difference between two square
wave pulse (PULSE A and PULSE B) from an encoder. I tried to modify many code but fail to capture thephase difference for each pulse. the
pulse only rise to 5V and fall to 0V like normal square wave pulse
can you and all of experts here help me out with this?
my problem
1) Encoder pulse are continous (pulse A and pulse B)
2) Square wave pulse have "0V" and "5V" please rapidly
if possible someone show me correct method , Im using LABVIEW 7.1 and Hardware NI SCOPE (PCI 5102)

Try this::
Check Time Difference Between Identity and Access Manager Systems
Check the logfile in the Access Manager install directory. The default location is <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/logs/oblogfile.
If the file exists and it contains following line "skew = slack = " that means the Identity and Access Manager Web Servers are on different machines and have not synchronized time within a minute.
Either synchronize times between the two machines within a minute's accuracy or you can increase the slack by modifying these two files: <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.lst: loginslack: <$IMinstall_dir>/identity/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.xml: loginslack: where numofseconds is more than skew found in the oblogfile.
For example, if you have following line in oblogfile "skew = 121 slack = 60", set numofseconds in the two parameter files to 130. After doing this, Stop the Identity Manager Web Server. Then stop the Identity Server. Start the Identity Server.
Then start the Identity Manager Web Server. Start a new browser session and see if you get the same error.

What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.

Difference between Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition) and Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1

I am trying to pull a report for all Windows 7 machines. But, i could find 2 attributes in view V_r_system that are operating_system_name_and0 and operatingsystem0 where I can get the OS information. Few machines are showing as "Microsoft Windows NT
Workstation 6.1" on operating_system_name_and0 and few are "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition)".
I am so curious to know about "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition)", so I just compared those machines with V_GS_Computer_system view to know whether these machines are a normal Laptop or Tablet based laptop. But, those are ALL
NORMAL LAPTOPS ONLY. however, those machines OSes are showing as "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition)".
But, the build numbers and OS versions are same as "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1" machines. So,
I could not find any difference between "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1" machines and "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition)" machines in terms of models number , OS build number.
Could someone of you please why the operating_system_name_and0 attribute shows as "Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition)" for part of the machines.

Thanks for your reply.
How do we check without RDP on those machines? Because, I have around 11,000 machines which are showing as "Microsoft
Windows NT Workstation 6.1 (Tablet Edition)" out of 40,000 machines.
Is there a way to find that touch screen info in SCCM DB or somewhere?
