Time is Displayed Wrong in Menu

Hi,
Trying to set up my new MacPro and my first time using Leopard... Can't figure out how to make the Time shown in the Menu to match the Time I set in System Prefs! It's really weird. In Date & Time prefs, the time shown is: 5:45 and that's what is showing on the Menu bar. However, the analog clock in the prefs window is showing the correct time of 1:45. How do I make these 2 match, and how do I know what time the Mac really thinks it is so my emails, etc., will be marked properly?!
Thanks so much,
Jacki

I've already done that - many times! It's not really "holding" the time zone. I'll set it, exit the prefs, and go back in and it's still right. The next time I go back in, it's changed back to the Default for some reason. I also just checked the analog Clock dashboard widget and it is even "wronger" - it shows 4 hours earlier than the current time! So I have 3 different times displaying on this computer at the same time...
Any other ideas?

  • Apple Time Server displaying wrong time

    So I have the option 'Date and Time' I have the 'Set Date and Time Automatically' checked and the apple time server selected. I also have the correct time zone selected. However, the time that is displayed is one day and five hours ahead of the actual time. I know I can manually set the time, but the time stamps on my emails don't change when I do that. So I'd appreciate it if there was a way for me to use the automatic time setting, but have it display the correct time.

    There are three apple timeservers. Try changing to a different one and then back to the correct one.

  • Time Machine Displays Wrong Date of Backup

    My computer shows the correct date of November 9, 2008, but the Time Machine Backup displays September 14. Can this be fixed?

    Actually, this does not need to be "Fixed". You are probably seeing the date the backup files were first created. Was that the date of your first backup? That is OK, +DO NOT+ change anything on the backup drive directly. If you need to delete/modify files that have been backed up, do so through the Time Machine "time travel" interface.
    If you click the Time Machine Dock icon (round green clock icon), you will enter the Time Machine interface and see all the backups that have taken place since you began.
    Cheers!

  • Time Machine displays wrong 'Mounted At' Name for TC

    I made my Time Capsule the primary router in my home network and imported the config file from the Airport Extreme to speed the setup but now Time Machine shows the 'Mounted At' name as "<NetworkName>AirportExtreme" as opposed "<NetworkName>TC" (see below).  I can't seem to change the 'Mounted At' Name displayed in the Time Machine Preferences display.  Any suggestions?

    The configuration file is xml..
    So you can edit the name.. directly .. save the file and import it.. it isn't a great way to do things but I have tricked stuff before like that..
    But in this situation it is still a different product.. if it was from one TC to another I would say go ahead.. or one extreme to another .. sure.. but you are using an identical configuration .. for two non-identical products.
    syDN ..
    That maybe the name which is listed in a local DNS table in the TC.
    In mine it has the TC name.
    <key>syDN</key>
              <string>Tardis4</string>
    ... Changing it has what effect. I don't know.. you can try.. change it and see what happens.. but that is still working around the idea that a factory reset and redo of the setup maybe faster and will surely be better.

  • Nano World time displaying wrong time!!

    I just got hold of my ipod nano this morning. Was so looking forward to it till i found out later on that it wouldn't work with my 3rd party USB2 pci card. That was fine, i just used USB1.1 which took really really really long.
    Finally, when it was done, i got to fiddling with it. I toggled to the World Clock and thought it'd be cool to fiddle with it. What i found was that the world clock is displaying all the WRONG times. I'm currently in Perth, Australia which is +8GMT. The ipod's main clock and date are all set correctly, and timezone set to Beijing, which is +8GMT equivalent.
    But, when i get the world clock feature to display with my time, it displays 7AM (the real time is 3PM). It's the same with the other regions/times as well. Anybody else have this problem?
    Hope somebody comes up with a fix
    Thanks!

    First, u pop the CD that came with the nano into your computer. Then, you locate the ipod software updater. Just launch that program, click and restore and follow the on scree instructions.
    You should be good to go after that

  • JSP page display wrong time when compared to the server time

    Hi,
    This problem seems to weird but it is happening
    I have web application running where time is displayed in the page. In this application time is very critical. Currently, time is an hour behind the orginal time.
    I checked the server it is displaying proper time.
    As a matter of troubleshooting, I wrote a java program and run the program in the same server, where the application is running. The java program returns me proper time , but JSP is still displaying time an hour behind. To trouble shoot further, I created a test jsp page to just display the time and accessed the time and the jsp displayed wrong time as well, an hour behind.
    I am running[ tomcat 4.0.3 and j2sdk1.4.3 in suse linux enterprise server 9.0
    My Java program
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
    public class TestDate
    public static void main(String s[])
         try{
              DateFormat DF = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd/MM/yyyy");
    DateFormat DT = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm aa");
              SimpleDateFormat fmt=new SimpleDateFormat("HH.mm");
              Calendar cal= Calendar.getInstance();
              java.util.Date dt=cal.getTime();
              String curdt=DT.format(dt);
              System.out.println("Server Time" + curdt + "\n");
              int hh = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR);
              int mm = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
              int aa = cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM);
              System.out.println("Time" + hh +":"+mm+":"+aa+"\n");
         }catch(Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    This display Time3:30:1
    My JSP Page
    <%@ page import="java.util.*,java.text.*"%>
    <%
    Calendar calen;
    calen = Calendar.getInstance();
    int hh=calen.get(Calendar.HOUR);
         int mm=calen.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
         int aa=calen.get(Calendar.AM_PM);
    %>
    <%=hh%> <%=mm%> <%=aa%>
    This display 2 30 1
    When I run Date in linux server it gives 3:30 PM EST 2004
    I am really confused, why this is happening, If you have any solutions or idea please post the solution.

    My guess is that the weirdness is caused by Daylight savings time.
    I will presume that you and the server are in the same timezone :-)
    Alternatively it could be caused by getting a different Locale.
    Try the following
    Print out "date.getTime()" value (ie long representing number of millis)
    They should be the same (or close) in both the app and in JSP
    Try simple date format in your JSP as well - what does that result in?
    Print the calendar object, and look for the difference.
    It might be in Locale, Timezone, or whether DST is set or not.
    Hope this helps,

  • [SOLVED] Arch displays wrong time - 2 hours forward

    Hi.
    After package upgrade today and reboot, my clock displays wrong time - it's going 2 hours too fast.
    I didn't changed anything in rc.conf. BIOS clock is fine.
    I us localtime, timezone: Europe/Warsaw.
    How can I repair it?
    EDIT: I just used date to re-adjust my clock.
    Last edited by weakhead (2009-08-26 13:37:59)

    Same Problem, solved by setting "localtime" instead of "local" in rc.conf.
    I don't know what changed because it worked before. Maybe an update in scripts that did recognize "local" but doesn't anymore ?
    ++ B.
    EDIT : [2009-08-24 13:37] upgraded initscripts (2009.07-3 -> 2009.08-1) that may be caused by that initscripts update !
    EDIT 2 : It is the initscripts, I did not see I had a pacnew rc.conf

  • CMFCToolbar and CMFCMenubar displaying wrong tooltips

    Quastion asked also on
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29800791/cmfctoolbar-and-cmfcmenubar-displaying-wrong-tooltips
    Hello.
    I am using Visual Studio 2010, but I suspect the bug is still present on the 2013 version, as I compared the winfrm.cpp file and the OnToolTipText are exactly equal on the two files.
    The bug is happening always at the 7th, 8th or 16th element.
    Although separators count as elements for this counting, the tooltips do not appear over them.
    Element can be a textual MENUITEM, a POPUP menu or toolbar button.
    The string table defines are:
        #define IDS_SEVEN            7
        #define IDS_EIGHT            8
        #define IDS_NINE             9
        #define IDS_TEN             10
        #define IDS_ELEVEN          11
        #define IDS_TWELVE          12
        #define IDS_THIRTEEN        13
        #define IDS_FOURTEEN        14
        #define IDS_FIFTEEN         15
        #define IDS_SIXTEEN         16
    and the STRINGTABLE contents are:
        IDS_SEVEN           "Seven"
        IDS_EIGHT           "Eight"
        IDS_NINE            "Nine"
        IDS_TEN             "Ten"
        IDS_ELEVEN          "Eleven"
        IDS_TWELVE          "Twelve"
        IDS_THIRTEEN        "Thirteen"
        IDS_FOURTEEN        "Fourteen"
        IDS_FIFTEEN         "Fifteen"
        IDS_SIXTEEN         "Sixteen"
    So, when I hover with the mouse pointer the 7th, 8th or 16th element I get WRONGLY a tooltip displaying the string with that ID (Example:7th element displays "Seven").
    It happens with all my toolbars and all my menus with a sufficient number of items, including in the toplevel horizontal menubar.
    I discovered that the guilty function is:
    BOOL CFrameWnd::OnToolTipText(UINT, NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
    as the nID local variable does not get the ABSOLUTE ID of the Command, but the POSITIONAL order of the button, starting with 1 instead of 0.
    If I would move the strings IDs out of that range, whenever a user wants to add new strings, the Visual Studio Resource Editor would see that space free and use it, filling it again. And the problem would happen again. So, it is not a valid solution.
    I could also define strings for all commands. But as we are maintaining four TFS branches at the same time and the change needs to go to all branches, this change would be potentially very dangerous when doing merges after.
    So, please what solution do you recommend to not display those stupid tooltips?
    UPDATE: I didn't copy the string table exactly as it was. It was like this:
        IDS_SEVEN           "Seven\nSeven"
        IDS_EIGHT           "Eight\nEight"
        IDS_NINE            "Nine"
        IDS_TEN             "Ten"
        IDS_ELEVEN          "Eleven"
        IDS_TWELVE          "Twelve"
        IDS_THIRTEEN        "Thirteen"
        IDS_FOURTEEN        "Fourteen"
        IDS_FIFTEEN         "Fifteen"
        IDS_SIXTEEN         "Sixteen\nSixteen"

    In the update I put a stringtable more similar to the one I had. I had not noticed before a common feature of 7, 8 and 16 th strings: they all had '\n' characters in their contents.
    I think nobody will create a menu with more than 512 menuitems nor toolbars with more than 512 buttons, so my solution was to change all strings containing '\n' characters with an ID below 512 to numbers above 512.
    And it works.

    This has already been discussed a number of times (see http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?objID=f260&q=Unexpected+token).
    As I understand it, it is related to the parser that SQL Developer is using to display the package decomposition in the navigator not coping with the full PL/SQL and SQL syntax (largely analytical functions from memory).

  • Time not working in the menu bar.

    My problem is the time that the operating system is displaying in the menu bar. When I set the time to New York, Eastern Standard time, the clock displays an incorrect time of 5 hours prior. I have the clock set to automatically sync with Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com). However, this doesn't help. This really disrupts correct functionality of iCal and I would really like to know how this issue can be resolved. Any ideas?

    Set up the whole thing again in system prefs.> Date & Time.
    Untick automatic and set to correct time & date.
    Check the time zone map and make sure the correct city is showing.
    Then the menu bar clock options.
    Then back to recheck Auto to the correct time site. (Choice of three here)
    Restart: fingers crossed.

  • Facebook Events Displaying Wrong Info on Calendar

    My Facebook Events that i have syncd either display the correct day but the wrong time or display both the wrong day and the wrong time...ex. Party on Saturday July 25 12:00am - Sunday July 26 12:00pm showing on calendar as Saturday July 25 3:00am - Sunday July 26 3:00pm ....and my another one is a Bday Party thats on Friday July 31 10:00pm - Saturday Aug. 1 5:00am...but the Pre is showing it as Saturday Aug 1 3:00pm - Saturday Aug 1 10:00pm
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    unfortunately that really doesnt help cause apparently Facbook uses your computers timezone as the default settings, and since all the computers ive used are on the east coast, there shouldnt be any conflicts. Ive checked my googles calendar settings as well just to make sure and those are correct as well...ive since just removed my google calendar to minize troubleshooting steps..
    This is my current Calendar Settings:
    First Day of the Week: Sunday
    Day Start and End: 12:00am to 12:00am since i couldnt select 12:00am to 11:59pm or 12:01am to 12:00am
    everything else shouldnt affect viewing, but they are all left at defualt.

  • 6070 - Increase the time the display stays illumin...

    Is there a way of increasing the time the display stays illuminated for? ATM my screen goes black after a few seconds which is annoying when trying to enter a number - the only way to "re-illuminate" the screen is push another button, which (depending on the button pushed) will take you to a different menu or even start dialling the incomplete number.
    The default time the screen stays illuminated for is not long enough, and there should be a way of increasing the time it stays on for. I've tried changing the Screen Saver settings and the Power Saver settings, but niether affect the time the screens stays illuminated for.
    Other phones that I've used allow you make the screen stay on for as long (or as short) as you like, but not this one - why?

  • Lookout displays wrong graphics

    Lookout 4.5.1 (18 & 19) sometimes
    displays wrong graphics upon
    opening a process.
    For example it can display 'knifeup'
    instead of cumstom .bmp or standard
    switches pictures instead of custom
    ones, etc.
    At the same time .lks is OK.
    I have Win98 system running on HP Omnibook XE3
    Notebook.
    Did anyone experienced the same
    unpredictable Lookout behavior?
    Sergei

    Tommy,
    Obviously you got the NI advise on
    not using nested aggregates at the
    time they were investigating the problem.
    Meantime I got a couple of similar replies
    from NI as well.
    Finally when I asked them to tell me if I can
    expect the fix in near future (my project was
    at high risk because I noticed the bug too late),
    they sent me lkworks.dll for testing.
    It all works fine now. I must admit that
    NI 'saved' our project (we successfully launched it
    at our plant last week).
    I can send you the fix so you could test
    it with your project. It would be interesting
    to compare our results.
    Please let me have your email so I could
    send you the file.
    Best regards,
    Sergei

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    First, make sure Safari isn't running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference, if not...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. if that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    And repair disk permissions...
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    If nothing above has helped, go to ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari. ~ (Tilde) represents your Home Folder.
