Time is 12hrs out every morning

I let my MB run all night, and when I get up in the morning, and start using it, the time is always exactly 12hrs out. ie, instead of 830am it says 2030. if i then go to the date and time preferences, as soon as the window opens it corrects itself. not a big deal, but a bit weird...
also I use Insomniax which allows me to close the lid but not sleep the computer. interestingly, with lid closed, my gmail notifier stops updating the icon (ie i have to force a refresh), but i can hear the sound when messages arrive, and all other programs seem to run normally in this mode.
any ideas?

Hi Sam:
I was fishing - I thought that perhaps the location was a possible issue (I loved NZ in the one visit I made several years ago, by the by).
The exact 12 hours seems to rule out a battery. You might try trashing the preference file (com.apple.menubarclock.plist) and restarting, although I cannot imagine what that would have to do with the problem.
Just for the heck of it, you might want to try a different time server to see if that makes a difference.

  • How to use Applescript to print out a certain calendar at 7am every morning?

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to use AppleScript to print out one of my calendars each day at 7am every morning.
    I have come up with this so far:
    tell application "Calendar"
           view calendar "My Appointments" at (my (current date))
           switch view to day view
           activate
                        tell application "System Events"
                     keystroke "p" using command down
                     delay 1 -- (seconds)
                     tell process "Calendar"
                                                      tell window "Print"
                                                                     if value of checkbox "Calendar Keys" is not 0 then
                                      click checkbox "Calendar Keys"
                               end if
                                                      end tell
                                       end tell
                        end tell
    end tell
    The problem with this is that it will print out whatever calendars are currently viewable. I can't figure out how to tell it to deselect other calendars and just select the one I want. I also want to tell it to print this out at 7am every morning.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    If you wanted to do the printout over multiple days, you would be best to loop through each day's events in the way the current script does, but to put a new loop around it that gets each new day's data:
    --opens a temporary file
    set fileRef to open for access ((path to desktop) as string) & "meetings.txt" with write permission
    --effectively empties the file
    set eof fileRef to 0
    tell application "Calendar"
              set dayCount to 9 --this will be the number of days to look forward (not including today)
              repeat with currentDay from 0 to dayCount
                        set startList to {}
      --get's today's date
      --set startRange to ((current date) + 12 * days) -- I used this for testing, to point to a day that had many appointments.  I've left it so you can use it, too.
                        set startRange to ((current date) + (currentDay * days))
      --set the start of the range to previous midnight
                        set hours of startRange to 0
                        set minutes of startRange to 0
                        set seconds of startRange to 0
      --set end of the range to next midnight
                        set endRange to (startRange + 1 * days)
      --get today's events
                        set todaysEvents to get (events of calendar "My Appointments" whose (start date is greater than startRange) and (end date is less than endRange))
      --make a new list with start time of the event for sort purposes
                        repeat with theEvent in todaysEvents
                                  set end of startList to {startdate:start date of theEvent, eventID:theEvent}
                        end repeat
      --sort using a bubble sort (suitable for short lists)
                        repeat with i from 1 to (count of startList) - 1
                                  repeat with j from i + 1 to count of startList
                                            if startdate of item j of startList < startdate of item i of startList then
                                                      set temp to item i of startList
                                                      set item i of startList to item j of startList
                                                      set item j of startList to temp
                                            end if

                        end repeat
      --write today's date to the file
      write (date string of startRange & return & return) to fileRef
      --if there are no events, write this to the file as well

  • Losing connection at same time every morning

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.

    Well, first, why are you running such ancient versions of Firefox as 3.6? i would immediately update to Firefox 15.0.1 as Firefox 3.6.28 is no longer supported and is critically insecure.

  • How can I update from itunes 3.1.2 to latest version? It cuts out every time I try to update.

    I currently have software version 3.1.2 every time I log on with my iphone 3gs,  I am unable to update to latest version. It takes and age  , sometimes 2 hrs and then cuts out saying ' time has run out' or something to that effect. I use windows XP. I do have quite an old computer. Someone has suggested I remove Itunes and then reload. I am rather nervous about that, in fear of losing everything!
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    Hi there, thanks for your response,
    Yes it is IOS I am referring to.
    I am running version 10 of Itunes.
    The model of Iphone i have is 3G - MC131B - 16gb (the old Iphone) which is running on 3.1.2
    When I connect the iphone to itunes, under Version, it says there is a newer version of Iphone software (version 5.1). Click Update. I do this and then the message that comes up every time I try to upload and update is:
    'There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone 'xxx' . The network connection timed out' this is often after a few hours or sometimes less than an hour.
    Should I remove Itunes and reinstall?
    I am trying to change networks and they ask that you make sure you have the latest software.
    Thanks

    Hi Sabrinann21,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob."  Does it look something like this?  
    If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.

  • How do I keep my background from changing every time I log out an than back into my sign in?

    My account is the head account for our iMac. I just added a sign-on for my brother an ever since adding him it never fails. Every time I log out and than back into my account my background goes to that ugly space swirly background as opposed to the pic of my daughter. I've never had this probably prior to adding that new account. And prior to this my husband has his own sign in and we also have a guest account. So, I don't know why this would be changing my background every time! Really frustrating! Thanks for your help!

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
    There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior.

    Hi mahmod alsousi,
    Try this:
    Sign out from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
    Now move the following folders to desktop:
    1) SLCache
    Windows: OS Drive\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
    2) SLStore

    3) OOBE
    Windows: OS Drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Mac: /User/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Now launch Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID.
    NOTE: Make sure your Anti Virus/Firewall is not blocking any Adobe activation servers. Alternately, you can also check your 'hosts' file for any changes.

  • My iPad plays a sound at the same time (8am) every morning

    I'm not sure what's causing it, but my iPad 4 plays a Tri-tone sound every morning at 8am!!!
    I'm not sure what's causing it but I want to turn it off from happening. After it plays the Tri-tone sound (just one) at 8am - I check the Lock Screen and there's nothing showing on-screen (notifications) to indicate what's causing it. I don't have any alarms set, and no repeating calendar events set at 8am, or anything obvious to me that would play the sound for any reason.
    How can I check what's causing this to turn it off from happening? (I have to remember to mute the sound the night before to stop the sound playing out loud the next morning, but I don't want to have to keep doing this).
    Thanks for anyone's help.

    It has to be an app or a notification of some type. But tracking it down can be quite a daunting task. I have seen posts like this before, and every one that I have seen could be traced back to app.
    I hope that this discussion is of some help, but even if it isn't, this was one of the most entertaining discussions that I have ever been involved in thanks to MrLuigi.
