Unwanted Clock reset

Hi,
can anyone help with this annoying problem... I the first to say that it is not critical but it is a pain ...
everytime I activate the desktop software with the phone connected to the pc to sync or backup the phone the internal clock resets to Greenwich mean time .... i have to be very carefull to reset the clock or i am like 7:30 hours late.
So, has anyone else had this problem and does anyone have a solution to this annoying reseting of the clock?
thanks to all suggestions.

Solved!

Yea, I think you will need to go your PC > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and run a repair on the application. At the end, you should see a couple of things it asks you like to synchronize the date/time, etc.

MBP Clock reset in Lion

Hi there.
Since I updated to Lion, I have noticed that the clock resets all the way back to 11:11 on January 1 2001 - which means that when I power up, the system warns me that problems may occur....
The battery is fine, life is over 95%, and it runs without any issues away from the mains supply. The clock is set to update automatically.
As soon as I get an internet connection, it just comes back to life and resets the date, but when I am off the net, I need to change all the settings manually, which is a pain.
Any ideas?
Best wishes!

You should probably ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Sudden shutdown when working on battery mode, clock reset

Hi
i am running windows 7 32 bit on an HP dv6970ej (dv6000) and my problem is sudden power failures when working on battery.
my first battery was worn out a few months ago and so I replaced it (with an HP original). it worked fine for a while but lately when I am working on battery mode the system shuts down with no warning.
the thing is that when I plug it back to the AC the battery is almost full - 85%-90% charged.
also - the last few times the power went down the clock was reset. i replaced the BIOS little battery but that didn't seem to make much difference.
i also tried to update the BIOS, didn't change anything.
the main issue of course is the system shutting down unexpectedly, while the battery is obviously still holding charge.
any suggestions?

the clock reset is just a side effect of the main issue - system power failure. as long as there are no sudden shutdowns the clock is saved. plus i guess i am not gonna replace the whole motherboard so that's why i am less concerned about that.
what really bugs me is not having the ability to disconnect the computer from the AC for more that a few minutes. sometimes it shuts down after two minutes, sometimes after 10-15 min.
i am thinking- maybe it has anything to do with voltage drops or something like that or incorrect reading of the battery, because as i said - when i plug it back in - in indicates 80%-90% charge level.
I also ran a diagnostic on the battery's wear level. the old battery was definitely worn out, but the current one seems to be OK on that aspect.

The clock reset to 2001 when i take away my battery!!!!!

my macbook was bought in 2007
does anyone have the same experience as me that after i remove the battery and use AC power solely, when i turn on the macbook, the clock reset to 2001 Jan 1 and forgot my LAN password setting (no matter how many time i enter, it still cant remember).
does anyone know the reason behind??

does anyone know the reason behind
Naturally, when you remove the battery, the internal clock loses power and therefore resets

6300 Clock reset issue

Hi,
I have seen this issue in a couple of threads but have not been able to see any successful resolutions.
My 6300 is nearly 12 months old and recently when I turn it off the phone clock resets which means when you turn it back on it asks you to set the time and if the alarm is set does not end up going off in the morning. It doesn't do it everytime however it is becoming more frequent.
Anyone had this problem and fixed it?

It's an internal hardware problem.
You need to take your phone to a nokia care point and they will be able to repair it.

Computer clock resets to 1969. PRAM battery probably not the issue.

I have a PowerMac G4 mirrored doors computer running Tiger 10.4.11 that occasionally starts up with that error message saying: "Your computer's clock is set to a date before March 24th, 2001. This may cause some applications to behave erratically."
I know all about resetting the PRAM, resetting the NVRAM, and replacing a weak, or expired battery. I've read the relevant posts on the subject, in which well-intentioned guides say that the problem is "usually" or "generally" related to the PRAM battery. Well, I wish it could be that simple, because I have already had a new battery installed, and the problem continues. It is intermittent; it's been occurring for about six months now; and it persists.
I seek technical assistance and successful, problem-solving suggestions that go beyond merely suggesting that I zap the PRAM or replace the battery.
If there are potential SOFTWARE problems, please direct me to those potentially damaged files. None of the disk utilities that I have used—including Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro, OnyX, Cocktail, or Drive Genius— find anything wrong with my hard drive or the files on it. No corrupted resources are reported. Additionally, Intego's Virus Barrier finds no infected files either.
However, a FileBuddy search of files modified before 3/25/2001 finds several dozen files with improbable dates of 12/31/1969 or 1/1/1970. Fewer files dated 12/31/1969 occur after I go to the Date/Time preferences pane and reset the clock to the current date/time and then restart my computer, especially in regards to system-related files. Nonetheless, several dozen files with a 12/31/1969 still remain, even after the date/time reset and the system restart.
I do not know if any of those pre-historic files are playing a role in this chronic problem, so I offer that information for the technically more astute to ponder upon and factor in to any solutions which might be offered. I have read posts where someone might suggest a re-install of Tiger, but the original poster almost always reports that re-installing Tiger did not eliminate problem, so I would prefer suggestions that rely on a scalpel rather than a sledge hammer.
If someone suspects that there may be hardware problem, I would like to hear theories along that line, too, although I am unlikely to consider gutting the hardware items just to retain the attractive computer case. Even though I do have other computers (an iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro), the PowerMac G4 is my preferred workhorse, and it is the only one configured to run Final Cut Pro (version 4.5; I can't afford to upgrade now), so I want to keep it functional without a major investment into an older machine.
When the computer clock problem first reared its irritating head several months ago, it was accompanied with kernel crashes that turned out to be related to the nVidia video card. I brought the machine in to a local shop, because it was refusing to power on. They installed a new battery to replace the original, probably weak original battery, and they replaced the probably defective nVidia video card with a used nVidia card I found on eBay. The shop also claimed that I needed to replace the motherboard and the power supply to ensure that the G4 would power on and that it would present a desktop without the warning message about the computer clock being set to 12/31/1969.
I decided to reject their assessment, since the whole repair job would have amounted to about $1,100. It seemed like an excessive solution. Since taking the G4 back about three months ago with only the new battery and the replacement video card installed, the computer has powered on every single time without fail, which, to my non-technician mind, would appear to indicate that the power supply is OK. However, I do still get an occasional warning about the computer clock being set to a date before March 24th, 2001.
I do not have the technical expertise or repair knowledge to know if the problem is hardware-related, software-related, power supply-related, or a complex interaction between all of them. If someone can suggest a permanent fix to eliminate the computer clock error problem WITHOUT requiring me to make a major investment in repairing or replacing hardware components, that would be ideal. On the other hand, if this clock problem is merely is an irritant, but not a sign of something more serious or expensive, then I am willing to live with it and get around the problem by going through the steps of resetting the clock when required and then restarting the computer with a correctly set clock.
My main goal, of course, is to have a reliable, stable computer. If it costs too much to eliminate the computer clock irritation on a permanent basis, then I am willing to live with the problem, as long as its presence does not disrupt my work flow. In that case, I would appreciate it if someone could explain what might be going on, so that I know what to expect and what to do about it.
I hope this is sufficient information with which to make a diagnosis and recommendation. If not, ask for more. Thanks.

Short answer =
5) Upon reboot after re-connection and re-start, the Date & Time shows...
a) in the Date & Time pane: 12/31/1969 at 7:00 PM, and counting
b) in the Finder's menu bar: 7:00 PM, and counting
What do the results of this test tell you? Is this a software or a hardware problem?
======================================================================
Long answer =
Thanks, BDAqua, for offering your help. I'm not exactly new to these forums, but somehow my previous contributions have all been wiped out, so I've restarted under a new account name.
I've had my G4 MDD for five years, and it's always been quite stable for me, so I'm not quite sure that this model is "cantankerous." I do find the computer clock error message irritating, though, so it would be nice to know the source of the problem and its permanent solution.
Since my original posting, I elected not to Shut Down the G4 to see what would happen. It functioned just fine since then, allowing me to create some short Final Cut Pro movies as Christmas presents to family members. With one exception, all other applications also functioned without problems. The only problem I'm encountering has to do with H-P Photosmart Studio, an application bundled with the HP All-in-one model C7280. It will not settle down to work, forcing me to Force Quit it every time. Since that app works fine on my iMac G5, I decided to trouble-shoot it by reinstalling the HP software, a process that requires me to Shut Down. (If possible, I want to see if the problem is with the HP software, or with Tiger on my G4.)
However, before I can get even get to trouble-shooting the HP Photosmart, the G4 gives me that computer clock error upon re-boot. In the past, the Date & Time error message has appeared upon a cold reboot, no matter whether I had reset the Date & Time in the preference pane via the Network clock or manually. However, I never conducted my tests in conjunction with disconnecting the A/C power cable. So, I decided to try the the test you suggested. Here are my observations and the results of the test.
1) Upon Shut Down, cool down, and restart, I get the computer clock error message mentioned at the beginning of my original post, telling me that my clock is set to a earlier date.
2) When I open the Date & Time preferences pane, however, the date and time shown there (as well as on the Finder's menu bar) is current.
3) The Network setting was ON, so, to comply with this test, I unchecked the "Set date & time automatically" box. I do not need to reset date and time manually, because, as I mentioned they ARE set correctly, even though the message I got upon restart said that they are not. (If memory serves me correctly, though, the Date & Time panel would actually show 12/31/69 as the computer clock's read-out, so this discrepancy is somehow connected to this problem. )
4) I shut down the G4 for 2 hours, and I disconnected all cables and plugs to it, including A/C power.
5) Upon reboot after re-connection and re-start, the Date & Time shows...
a) in the Date & Time pane: 12/31/1969 at 7:00 PM, and counting
b) in the Finder's menu bar: 7:00 PM, and counting.
6) I take screen captures of the error message and the menu bar: both .PNG files are time-stamped as of 12/31/1969 at around 7:01 PM.
7) I will now reset the clock to the current Date and Time by turning the Network time feature back on, so I can get on with my work while the trouble-shooting process continues.
What do the results of this test tell you? Is this a software or a hardware problem?
If it's a software problem, then should I do I clean install of Tiger? If I do that, is there any evidence that a clean install will do any good to eradicate the problem?
On the other hand, if this is a hardware issue, is it contained to merely being an irritant that I can fix merely by adjusting the Date & Time whenever the problem occurs (which I can live with, as long as the system is stable after that fix), or is this error message regarding a sign of something more ominous failing on the motherboard?

Digital clock reset problem with 74193N

Hi, i'm designing a digital clock circuit.
However, i faced problems during reset part.
when i tried to reset on 3(U11) with 1 NAND gate and 2 NOR gates,
i think i don't make mistake to reset with 0011(U3),how come the 3 will also appear on the seven-segment display?
Well,i also wonder how can i reset the other seven-segment display(U9) to show the following sequences:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,0..
Lastly, is that possible to configure the transmition speed in multisim 11.0?
Thanks..

Hi,
There were a few problems with the circuit which is why the clock was not reseting at 3. I have modified the file. Please take a look and see. You will need to add a buffer between the second input and the AND gate because otherwise, the gate will trigger before the output has actually reached the desired state.
I had to edit the delay time in the buffer to make it work of this circuit. To edit the delay time, double-click the Buffer and under the Value tab, click on Edit Model. You can change the rise time and fall time from this window.
Hope this helps.

MBA got sluggish then died, clock reset, permissions all messed up

Hey guys I just came here to post as I am a bit worried,
My MBA (Late 2010) was getting sluggish, tabs were taking longer to open and pages documents longer to save. Then the computer completely went black and unresponsive with 10 mins battery left and when I plugged it in and turned it back on the clock had been reset to 01/01/2001 and it had forgotten my WIFI password.
I am now worried about a couple of things. Why did it crash? Did its battery die? Why when it said it still had some charge left? Has the SMC gone wrong or something?
Also it was slowing down and getting worse for the past couple of hours, far before the complete crash happened. Any idea what's up or how to resolve it?
Also do you know what else I can expect to be missing or which settings might now be screwed other than the clock and wifi password so I can fix them?
Many thanks,
Joseph
Edit: Battery health has now dropped an additional 6% since crash. What's up?
More importantly, I just verified my permissions and there are about 30-50 problems and every time I repair it says they're fixed but then I check again and they're all still there. One entry also says:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I'm even more worried now!

Hi,
It sounds to me like there may be an issue with your battery - as in, it may be worth dropping into an Apple Store if you can, and getting it checked out.
If things are getting slow then worse case scenario there is also an issue with your hard drive. Try running SMART Utility and see what it tells you - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
Do no worry about the messages you get when verifying permissions - they are normal.

Stopping Power clock reset and key chain reset?

Hi,
I recently received my computer back from the Apple Store tech support to replace a hard drive malfunction.
Now, unusually it seems like the "Power" button is not as sensitive and I have to hold it down for a good 2 secs for the Power Book to power on, but for some reason when I do this it constantly resets the Time and Date of my power book and apparently blanks my key chains which then requires me to type them in again and re-adjust the date/time every time I boot my computer. How can I avoid the Date/Time issue when booting and the key chain issue. I wish this would have been told to me after the Apple Store kept my computer for nearly 2 weeks. Thanks for any help.

Don't know about the power button and keychain but the clock issue sounds like a dead battery. This should be easy easy to replace; you can find what battery you need on the Apple site (probably the support section). Let me know if this helps!

Clock reset

When I switched on my mac today the clock had reset itself. Everything else seemed ok - although the wireless password has disappeared too.
Should I be concerned about this? / what's the problem?
Thanks

Hi,
The same thing happened with my MacBook: wonky time & forgot AirPort.
I called AppleCare and walked through resetting the SMC, which solved the issue.
Here is a link to resetting the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
And one for removing and replacing the battery (which I found a bit confusing until I looked at this article).
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3053
When I restarted, the time was back to normal and AirPort hooked up. However, my CPU was almost 100% used by iCal Helper and then I got Alarms for all the events from that wonky date.
After closing all the Alarms, I restarted and the computer seems to be fine now.
I hope this helps others.

N80 Clock reset after restart, pls help

Since w while now, every time i restart my phone, i need to set my clock again.
Apparantly it resets after the phoone has bene switched off.
The battery is completly full, and i've installed the latest firmware.
Can anyone help me fix thix problem?

This has come up before. The best theory (well, I think it's the best - the fact it was mine is purely coincidental) is that the phone has a secondary battery for the clock, just like in a PC.
What this means is that the problem is hardware and to get it fixed I'm afraid you need to take the phone to a service centre.

Clock reset and passwords wiped

My macbook ran out of battery. On restarting with mains power it had reset clock to 00 and erased wifi and email passwords. can I expect more trouble? What happened?

You'll see to the right in the "More Like This" column that you're not alone... however none of the queries seem to have produced an answer. I don't know why this would happen - consider it a 'hiccup' if it's a one-time problem but should it happen again, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and see if they can offer any solutions.
Good luck,
Clinton

Have you had your clock reset many times?

I have experienced this a few times now. When I wake up my computer, the date in my clock for Mac OS X for Snow Leopard is reset to like Dec 31 of 2000 or something and then I have to retype the password to my Wifi connection. Has this happened to any of you? I am having to manually reset it again but this has become a pattern and I am worried. What should I do? Please advise and let me know. Thank you!

Sounds like a bad logic board battery?

Charger Not Working, Desktop and Clock Reset, Malfunctioning

I have mid-2009 15 MacBook Pro. It's worked well up until now.
The green light on the magnetic charger has ceased to illuminate and the laptop is not charging. Additionally, the malfunctioning charger started at the same time as when the computer rebooted itself and upon starting up, my custom-made desktop was gone and the clock was reset to Jan 1, 1980 it said and when I looked, it said Jan 1, 2001.
Main Problem: I have data on the laptop which is invaluable. There's about 20 minutes of charge left and the charger isn't working.
Secondary Problem: The three problems described above (charger doesn't work, date and desktop automatically resetting on its own).
Never heard of that type of malfunctioning before. I need a solution to this malfunctioning charger problem.
NOTE: Knowing that because of hte reboot, the desktop and clock change it had to be more than just a malfunctioning charger, I used some remaining battery energy to boot off system software and it's still not charging.
