Time not accurate on iPad??

My iPhone and my iPad do not agree on the time of day. I set them both up in the same time zone and reset both devices. The iPad thinks it is five minutes ahead of the phone. I believe the phone gets the time from the cell towers and the wifi iPad? Who knows where the time comes from... (or goes, for that matter)? Both are set to get the time automatically. How does the iPad get the currect time and do I have to manually control iy for it to be accurate? Both seemed to convert to standard time ok.

You can set the date and time from:
Settings > General > Date & Time and then Time Zone and Set Date & Time.
That way you can correct the time if it is off, and the iPad knows from the selected time zone when to switch from daylight savings to standard time...along with the time zone for the specified location.
Set correctly initially, the iPad should keep the time pretty accurately. Not sure what would happen if you managed to some how succeed in completely draining the battery. If you follow the Apple battery conditioning/charging procedure you do not actually completely drain the battery. The unit auto shuts down at about 1% charge. That keeps certain info in memory.

  • Disk Sleep times not accurate

    Not wanting my external drives to spin down every ten minutes (actually eight minutes), I reset the the disk sleep interval with the sudo pmset command or with TextWrangler. Oddly enough, I found that this works but is not accurate. Setting the time for 30 minutes would allow my disks to spin down after only 23 minutes. At a 60 minute setting, they would spin down in about 44 minutes. They seem to spin down anywhere from 70% to 80% of the value set. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know why?

  • Ipad 3 usage stats (time) not accurate

    I've an iPad 3rd gen running 6.0.1.
    I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that the usage stats "Time since last full charge" seems completely inaccurate.
    I charged it fully overnight on Monday and took it off charge at around 8am Tuesday. It's telling me that standby is 2 days 13 hours. Pretty accurate there.
    However, it's telling me that the usage time is 7 hours 13 minutes. I'm currently at 89%.
    I've actually only used it for a couple of hours max which seems to match the 89% left figure.
    Nothing is set to push. My email is set to only fetch manually. I've got nothing turned on in the way of notifications and location services are turned off.
    Anyone else experiencing this before I do a restore?
    Anyone else have any suggestions as to why this figure is wrong?
    TIA,
    Si.

    Just checked my ipad again this morning after a full charge.  After going into the Usage screen, all my stats remained along with the message about it being plugged in since full charge.  At that point the stats reset.  I cannot say for sure whats different but I have never gone into the usage screen when its been fully charged.

  • Travel Time Not Showing on iPad

    When I look on my phone, iCal blocks off my travel time so I know at a glance that I can't schedule anything there. However, I bought a new iPad mini tonight and it does not show the travel time blocked off. It will calculate the travel time and show me how long it will take if I select the appointment. But it won't show me travel time in the week view. What am I missing??

    So how do we get this message to the wizards that need to do a bit more programming work? Travel time (which was around years ago and suddenly disappeared about 4 OS's ago) is super. But markroos is right: If it doesn't show up on the mobile devices we love, it is useless. Because, duh, we don't take our iMacs on the road with us, do we?

  • Render Times on FCP Not Accurate?

    Hi, <- My casual Greeting
    Hopefully there are a few video editors out there on the forum... cause this one is program specific....
    So I have been an avid Final Cut Pro guy for the last 4 years. I love the program.... I can work very easily in it but recently I got a new job in which I have been using both FCP and Adobe Premier.
    Here is my issue... I have been using files that come in as MPEG 2 and have been using MPEG Streamclip to convert them over to a ProRes file for FCP. From FCP I have had to export them into 3 formats
    1. Mpeg 4 (the file format our website takes)
    2. FLV (Format for online video sites)
    3. QuickTime (XDCAM) for our tricaster
    The last week I have been using FCP and my render times have been (for a 5 min clip)
    1. Mpeg 1 hour+
    2. FLV 20 min+
    3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 1 hour +
    Yesterday I was told to use Premier as my boss uses Premier on a regualr basis and I assured him that the times would be the same as FCP is a Mac native program and that Premier was made to work on a mac but is essentially a PC program (I am eating my words now)...
    I redid the renders on the same file...
    On premier the render times were
    1. Mpeg 30+ min
    2. FLV 12 min
    3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 40 min
    Why is this? Do I just have something really messed up in my settings that FCP is not rendering quickly and Premier is? I would hate to have to hop over to Premier... I enjoy using FCP way to much.
    The other question I have is why are FCP render times not accurate...
    The renders will start saying 5 min then 10 then an hour etc.... and the time will not be accurate. If it says 5 min it may go for an hour... or if it says an hour it may just complete while still telling me I have an hour to wait.
    Adobe Premier, right off the bat, will tell me the frame it is on and the percent and time left... almost to the T.
    If possible... please help me get my fcp back on the right track.
    Tim

    Rendering can be much faster if you have a multi core intel Mac and you use Qmaster with Quick Clusters.
    Here's how.
    Set up Quick Clusters in Qmaster. (A description of how to do this is in the manual and also can be found in the Qmaster forum here in the Apple discussions as well as out on the web.)
    Export your sequence from FCP using "current settings". (Do NOT use Quicktime Conversion!)
    Open up Compressor and submit your file. Add the three output elements.
    Submit the file and click "use unmanaged services"
    Go have a cup of coffee while all the cores chug away at things. I guarantee it will be faster than the way you are currently exporting (if you aren't using clusters)

  • Cannot Wi-Fi Sync iPad; Appears to see iMac but iMac does not see the iPad

    Like many, I have upgraded my iPad (1st Gen) to iOS 5 and for the most part, it's been an easy transistion to learn the new features. However, I've not been able to overcome a Wi-Fi Sync issue.
    The iPad does recognize that it can Wi-Fi Sync with my iMac.
    When it was connected via cable, I had already selected the "Sync with this [iOS device] over Wi-Fi" Option in iTunes then clicked "Apply."
    Under Settings > General > iTunes Sync on my iPad, the "Sync Now" button is grey when I connect to an alternate Wi-Fi network in our house, but when I am on the same Wi-Fi network as my computer, through an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation, the "Sync Now" button becomes actively black as it if recognizes my iMac, but it does not show up under iTunes to sync.
    I connected the iPad to an alternate computer which is linked to iPhone running iOS 5 on the alternate Wi-Fi Network I spoke of earlier and through which we succesfully Wi-Fi Synced, but when my iPad was linked to this same computer (connected first by cable to enable "Sync with this [iOS device] over Wi-Fi" Option in iTunes first, it still would not show my iPad. And this time, not even my iPad would see the computer when on the same network, yet I could also see the iPhone mentioned which was upstairs.
    I have tried following the steps in this Help Page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062) but without any change. The only thing I haven't followed to the letter is restarting my router. I did tell my Airport Basestation to restart via the Airport Utility.
    Has anyone else yet experienced this issue and been able to resolve it? Please share any insight.

    When one device can't see another via Bonjour, it suggests a problem with how the network or the devices are handling "multicast" packets. Handling multicasts is tricky on Wi-Fi. Is there any way you can temporarily plug the iMac into the LAN port of the base station via an Ethernet cable, and try the sync that way? If that works, then it's a clear indication of multicast problems on your network.
    Apple is usually very good about making sure multicasts work reliably on AirPort base stations and all Macs and iOS client devices. It would be interesting to know which generation of AirPort Extreme you have, what firmware version you're running on it, exactly which wireless security mode you're using (for instance, WPA2 "mixed mode", where both WPA2-style AES-CCMP and original WPA-style TKIP encryption are available, is trickier for multicasts because multicasts have to use a different cipher and key. "WEP TSN" is also tricky for similar reasons). Oh, and what you have your "multicast rate" set to on your base station.

    I'm (being lazy and) using the older RT app posted on your last thread. I removed the
    TimeNow timer from the RT class and used System.currentTimeMillis (as you requested) to
    determine the elapsed time during the animation (see "startTest", "stop" and
    "movingObject" methods). Also changed the DecimalFormat to NumberFormat and set the
    "maximumFractionDigits" to "2" so it will truncate the fraction to two digits (more simple
    than before). Made arrangements for the ShapeMovingPanel class to update the
    "timerJTextField" during the animation (RT.updateTime method).
    The MouseMotionListener is causing the animation to appear jerky and uneven. The
    "mouseMoved" method is very busy while the mouse is moving. You might consider recording
    the "mousePressed" events instead of the "mouseMoved" events, ie, the events where the user
    is attempting to click inside the moving shape. It would allow the app to be more
    responsive and might eliminate the uneven motion of the animating shape.

  • Taking too much time and not connecting to ipad software server

    taking too much time and not connecting to ipad software server and not updating.. why

    because everyone is doing the same thing you are... be patient, and you will get the update... I had to grab the update over 3G (it won't let you download or install, but it got me in the door) and then switch back to wifi and download and install.

  • Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

    Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

    None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.
    Send feedback to Apple.

  • HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

    ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

    Hi,

    I forget what I did now to get this called "Recovery HD"
    For the rest try https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4055  User Tip that links to Pondini's work on Time Machine.
