Time doesn't update

My new iMac G5 with OS 10.4.3 and 20" monitor is having problems with the Date and Time setting. Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, the time displayed is between 10 and 20 minutes slow. I have to open the Date & Time system preferences screen, and just by opening the screen, the time then automatically updates. I have tried zapping my PRAM, and have unplugged the power from the iMac after shutting it down to reset the internal clock setting as well. Neither worked. Any ideas on what to do next to fix this little but irritating problem. Sure would be nice to have the correct time displayed automatically. Thanks.

One of the items in the System Preferences Date & Time settings is to set it automatically make sure that the box is checked. You also have the option to choose the reference clock, USA, Europe, or Asia. When you turn on the Mac, or wake it up, the OS will compare the internal clock against the standard and reset it if necessary, you need to be connected to the internet for this happen.
Losing time could be an indication of the battery going down. If you are under warranty contact Apple tech support

    Hi Courcoul
    Thanks for stepping by
    To tell the truth I forgot to mention that I already did what you said, even more I tried all "reset" options including:
    Reset all settings
    Erase All content and settings
    Reset Network settings
    Etc
    Even
    Reset location and Privacy
    It keeps showing the problem

  • Time doesn't update periodically, links don't open in emails, turning off and on at least once a day...any ideas why???

    I'm having to turn off and on my iPhone at least once a day to update time, and/or to receive texts that are not coming through when they should've gone through.  Also, why don't the links open when i click on them from my email?  Also, phone has to reconnect to wifi every time I unlock it.  Any recommendations???

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    This is something that often cures strange problems like yours. I hope it works for you.

  • Insert Date and Time doesn't update

    i am inserting a date and time in my numbers documents so that i know which paper copy is the most current. i do this by going to Insert pulldown and selecting Data and Time while in a Footer Cell.
    this data does not update upon re-opening the file and i end up printing multiple copies over weeks and months with simply the date that I inserted the Date and Time into the footer.
    is there a way to do this so that it updates?
    TIA

    As most of the times,
    this kind of question is answered in Numbers User Guide.
    When you insert a date_time value in a cell, you insert a fixed value.
    If you want a living one, you must insert a formula.
    =NOW()
    or
    =TODAY()
    would achieve your goal.

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

    How much free space do you have? If it is low, installers may not be able to run properly.

    Does the username and password you try to use have administrator privileges? You must input an admin username and password to install.

    after OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

    Try installing the 10.6.8 Combo update which contains all the latest updates for that OS.  Be aware that there appears to be no further support for Snow Leopard.

  • Code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.

    code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.   I was using an old DW version for a long time then forced to upgrade when I bought my MacBook Pro. Now when I make changes to my pages and link to new files etc on my harddrive, when i upload the pages it won't image because the code still points to harddrive (this did not used to be a problem)... I manually changed the code on the web host site to point to the site and it loaded fine. But now my files on my harddrive also point to the web host files and now don't image on my computer. I never had to worry about this so far and wonder if the new version has a setting I'm supposed to be aware of so that I can design on my hardrive and upload and it knows that the files are being uploaded with it?  Ugh hpe this makes sense - I'm NOT a webs designer and the new DW is way more than I use in it's technology.

  • Reinstalled 10.3.4, now date/time doesn't work or open

    I had a hard drive failure, a company replaced my drive with a new one in my G4. The new hard drive works fine, they reinstalled 10.3.4 from my original disks, but the date/time doesn't work and I can't open that panel even.
    So I just resinstalled from those disks again and it still didn't fix this problem.
    Also my old password for installers doesn't work either, but it lets me bypass it.
    Any suggestions?
    Should I just try upgrading to Tiger and see if that works?
    Thanks

    blackrhino:
    Not sure what the problem is, however, before you go reinstalling or upgrading try this:
    1. Reset PRAM.
    2. a. From a cold start, boot from your installer disk holding down the "C" button. Go to the Installer Menu and open Disk Utility.
    b. Select your Mac OS X startup disk.
    c. Select the First Aid tab in the Disk Utility window.
    d. Select Repair Disk button in Main panel. If problems are found run again and again until no problems are reported.
    e. Select the Repair Disk Permissions button on the First Aid tab.
    f. After Repair Disk Permissions completes, Quit (Command-Q) Disk Utility.
    3. Update Software to 10.3.9 (Go to Apple Menu and select Software Update.
    Post back after these operations.
    Good luck.

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:

    I hope this helps.

  • Quick Time Doesn't recognize most of my emails that have attachments

  • My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

    My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
    I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
    Can you help me with that?
    NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

    I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
    Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

  • Game center doesn't update leaderboard scores after reinstaling apps

    I had few games with some nice achievements and scores.
    I have deleted my games from my iPhone.
    After some time Ive decided to instal some of them again.
    My achievements and best scores were automatically imported into Game Center and the games.
    It was cool and it was what I've expected.
    The problem is i.e. when I play minigore and get some nice points the leaderboard doesn't update. There are my old scores but none of them are appearing after reinstalling the game.
    Simply I still see some great scores in ALL but TODAY and THIS WEEK just doesnt show my new scores even when it's high.
    Other game doesn't connect to game center at all. It shows WELCOME AGAIN QAYIN but doesn't update nor scores nighter achievements.
    Does anyone has similar problem?
    Any solutions either simply wait till update cause it is a bug?
    Thnx...
