Weird clock problem ...

I've had my MBP for about a week and in the last three days some weirdness has been happening with the clock in the top right.
Once or twice a day, for no discernible reason, the time will shift x hours ahead or y hours behind. When I open date & time it rights itself automatically, but not before then and that doesn't actually fix the problem, it just puts it off a bit.
I changed the city from within the time zone from Cupertino to Seattle and that's worked SO FAR, but I have no idea if that's going to fix things permanently.
Any ideas?

New wrinkle. I figured out a few particulars: The clock problem is happening each time I boot into Windows XP (using bootcamp) then booting back into OSX.
Also, every time I do this, the time falls exactly 7 hours behind. Meaning if it's 10 pm, OSX's clock will read 3 pm
Good idea on calling customer care, Barry. Problem is, I haven't thought about the issue in the middle of the day because I don't usually boot into XP during the day, hence the problem never happens (very bad short term memory).
Any help anyone can offer is appreciated, thanks.

  • There seems to be a R9 290/X 2D Core Clock problem...

    Right, a little background info; I am currently using my THIRD MSI 290X Lightning (Bought from Overclockers uk, First two were from Amazon.co.uk)
    All three cards had random freeze/stalls or instant sudden reboots on tasks such as playing VLC, using Chrome, Catalyst (CCC) etc.
    Upon upgrading my PSU and these problems still persisiting, I was very concerned and researched more and more. I found that alot of people are having trouble with this aswell on several different cards (Ranging from 260X to 290X, including the 290) several from different manufacturers too!
    The fix for me:
    - Solving VLC/Video Playback crashes (doesn't solve Youtube crashes): Disable "Enforce Smooth Video Playback" in CCC Global Video Quality settings.
    EDIT: The above was no longer required after I changed the 2D Clocks... All VLC and youtube video playback work perfectly with the below fix/workaround...
    - Preventing Freezes/reboots on simple 2D Clock based tasks (e.g. GPU @ 300Mhz/idle)
    To solve this one, GPU tweak was required to change the 2D core clock settings from 300Mhz to 600Mhz, I am quite annoyed at this as such expensive cards should not have weird niggles like this... could we reach out to MSI and AMD for this? :(
    I'd much rather a Driver/MSI BIOS fix...
    PS. If I close GPU Tweak at any time, crashes soon follow (this is because the 2D core clocks are then allowed to go down to 300Mhz again) I really do not want to force a modded BIOS...

    Hi
    Re: There seems to be a R9 290/X 2D Core Clock problem...
    Yep same problem here, purchased an MSI 290 Gaming 1 month ago, amazing graphics card for the first 2 weeks whilst I played nothing but Bio Shock, BF4 and World of tanks.
    Then then my daughters who are both into Minecraft wanted to use the computer, they play and watch You Tube at the same time. That's when the Blue Screens started. I have build a lot of PC in my time and starting researching on the forums. That's were I discovered the 3 issues with this card Blue and Black screens of death and Shockwave problems.
    Don't get the Black Screen, so I followed the instructions and pretty sure I fixed the Video player problems, but not the issue you highlighted. Spoke to the supplier of the card last week and agreed to try several things before RMA. Went through various driver installation sequences, removed other hardware, checked Bios setting, followed various internet fixes that wouldn't damage the computer and swapped back to my old 5870 twice which work 100%. Nothing Worked, I have a 850watt PSU with 70A 12 volt rail, and the card works fine under load.
    I agree this a 2d-3d switching problem, confirmed by World of Tanks works fine in 3d but BSOD when going back to menu, Marvel Super Heros same thing. Minecraft also crashes but not sure why. load game leave it sit there with no one playing, come back 10 minutes later. Computer has restarted.
    Some one said to up the PCI Express frequency, tried this, seemed to work but had to reinstall windows 2 hours later. I also checked out setting customer profiles, but why should I?!!. One of the reason I bought this card was because of the low idle power consumptions in 2d. Plus I can't expect my 7 and 10 year old daughters to swap profiles around when they use my computer.
    My Question is that given there are a lot of people having these problems. There are thousands of posts on the net, why is the only comment from AMD. A post from one of their forum administrators complaining that people are using bad language on their forums. To make matters worse this post is almost 12 months old and still no fix??? No wonder people are annoyed.
    So I will politely ask you guys at MSI if you can shed some light on this.
    I will be copying this post and pasting it into my RMA form later this week if I can't finger anything else out , I am just worried if it goes back they will just load test the card under 3d and send it back to me again. In this case it'll go on EBAY. 

  • Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

    I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
    I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
    The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
    After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
    Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
    You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
    O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
    You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
    I hope someone is ably to help me ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Ibook clock problems

    My ibook's clock keeps resetting itself back to 1970 after being powered off for a few hours. I have just replaced the battery (yesterday) as it no longer held charge, - the replacement is fine - I now have mobility for about 3.5 hours but the clock problem (which I thought was down to the original flat battery) persists.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Have you Zapped the PRAM?
    Welcome,
    Restart and when your screen fades black hold down Command, Option, P and R.
    Keep these keys pressed until you hear the Startup chime 3 times. It may take a minute or so between chimes, so be patient.
    If that doesn't work try a PMU reset,
    Turn off the iBook, press Shift, Control, Option and Power simultaneously and hold them down for 5 seconds.
    Edit:
    Scrap the part about resetting the PMU and see this link insted,

  • Audio clicks - clocking problem in HD

    I've been editing in FCP on a G5 for a couple of years with few problems. I've just upgraded to 4 new Mac Pros with Quad cores, 8gb ram and 3 with Nvidia & 1 with ATI video boards and now I'm hearing clocking problems in my audio. Crackling sound that gets louder as the audio gets more active. I'm using a Panasonic 1400 via firewire. I've trashed prefs, changed all my wires, changed decks, all the new macs have this problem. I swapped my G5 back and the problem goes away. When I swap a Panasonic AJ-93 (SD via firewire) in the problem goes away.
    The clips are clean. I can transfer clips to Protools and output clean. It seems to just be an output to DVCPRO HD issue.
    I'm confused
    Any thought or help will be appreciated,
    Thanks Bill

    I don't know where you got the idea I was using MP3s, but thanks for a response.
    To clarify, I am ingesting audioand video clips from a Panasonic AJ 1400(HD deck with firewire). The files are in the DVCPRO HD codec (1080i 30p, 16bit, 48K).
    Thanks

  • Weird audio problem during calls

    I have a weird audio problem and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could help...
    My wife and I both have iPhone 5's and sometimes (not all the time) when she calls me (or I call her), it connects, but no matter which audio input I choose (phone, bluetooth, speaker, headphones), I cannot hear her, but she can hear me... I hang up, call back (and when I call, there is no dialing sound, nor any other phone sounds) and it's the same thing. Sometimes restarting the phone works, other times I have to restart it 3-4 times before it'll work again.  I try different things during these calls, like turning on/off bluetooth and/or wifi (pretty much anything I can think of that would make a difference), but nothing seems to help.
    The (other) weird part is that after the last time of this happening, I tried calling my iPhone with my office phone and it worked fine, so then I immediately call my wife back with my iPhone and it was doing the same thing again. I called her back using my office phone and could talk to her fine...
    This problem has been going on for a few months now and I have tried restoring the phone a couple times (and I am on the latest iOS) and sadly, that hasn't done anything to help... Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'd make an appointment for the problem, but since it doesn't do it all the time, I don't know what good it would do... But it is getting very frustrating!
    Thanks for any help!
    -Jason

    Thanks for the response!  It happened again yesterday...  It seems to be happening more frequently in the past few weeks now.
    I checked the link and have tried all of the things listed at one point or another over the past few months.  I did just check my Carrier settings and it said it had updated (it's on 14.1), but I am not sure when that happened (could have been today, could have been after my last restore last week, not sure).  I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe that fixed it...
    If it continues to act up, would you recommend that I bring the phone in to an Apple store or an AT&T store?  I bought the phone through Apple, but my carrier is AT&T (and if you suspect that the problem may be with the cellular conection), maybe the AT&T store would be the better choice?
    I really wish the problem would be more consistant or go away, cause trying to get the problem solved is driving me crazy!

  • Turbo Clock problems Y50?

    So I ran a 3D mark bench mark today (Sky Diver) on my Y50 on windows 10 with a gtx860m 4gb, i7-4710HQ and 16 gb ram. The maximum turbo clock speed was 1,797 MHz, which is LESS than the stock clock speed of 2,000 MHz. WHAT IS WRONG?!?!

  • Slooow internet and weird mouse problems?

    I recently upgraded my iMac to Leopard (10.5.4) and started having weird mouse problems. At start up, mouse would be frozen in upper left corner. I'd restart, switch mice, restart, over and over. I use a Wacom tablet w cordless mouse plus Apples alum cordless keyboard. Eventually I tried switching USB ports for my Wacom tablet and the mouse was OK. I have learned that when this problem occurs, I need to shut down and unplug everything. That seems to solve it. Anyone know why? ALSO, ever since upgrading I have found the Internet to be appallingly slow. I have 2 GB memory and just upped my internet speed (supposedly) through Embarq.

    hmm, what is a mouse usb or a keyboard usb?
    arent all the usb ports same?
    I really wish to show you how this happens it is really fun, but also annoying. especially when I am playing a game. it is interesting to watch the screen when suddenly all the world starts rotating when you are playing a first person shot'm up.

  • KT6V Weird boot problems

    Hi..
    I'm having this weird boot problem (and no it doesn't seem to be the standard one)
    OK..
    I have the following :
    AMD Athlon 2000+
    KT6V LSR mainboard
    2x 256 Crucial PC2700 memory
    IDE Hard Disk (120gb segate)
    Creative 5700ultra Graphics card (AGP)
    Cd Rom
    Chieftec 400w PSU
    WinXP Pro
    If I set my CPU FSB to 100mhz (everything else on auto).. win Xp pro boots fine and all is pretty good except that my chip is now seen as a lowly 1.25ghz..
    If I then set my CPU FSB to 133 or 166 then the machine boots (ie it beeps etc..).. starts to load windows xp (I get the logo and that's when the problem happens)  and either black screens (ie.. nothing and the monitor turns off) or blue screens with the windows message saying that windows has detected a hardware fault and has halted the system..
    I know my memory, chip, heatsink etc all work because just over an hour ago they all worked fine in my KT3 ultra.
    What is going on as I've tried almost everything to try and solve this, with the only option to set the FSb to 100mhz which is incorrect for my CPU.
    How do I fix this.
    I've looked through the forum but this is not the same problem as simple reboots.. this is weird.
    If I can't fix this then I guess it'll be send it back.. which is a shame because I like MSi motherboards.
    Thanks
    Slippery

    Hi..
    I've checked the CPU heatsink.. and nothings wrong !
    (Can't check the voltage but I know the PSU is Ok as I did run it in a custom case with 4 Cd writters, 4 HDs, loads of lights etc.. before I moved to this new plain case tonight)
    What's weird is that set at 100FSb it's fine but at 133 or 166 it just crashes after the loading XP logo is displayed. Up until that point it's all fine.
    But why does it run Ok at 100mhz and not 133mhz ?
    Please help..  before I end up fixing this with a hammer !
    Thanks

  • Nokia n96 clock problem

    when I try to setup the clokc on my n96 phone, it gives me system error!
    I have tried to reset the phone but I don't know the lock code. I didn't setup one initialy when I have started it, and I don't know the default one.
    any idea why my be the lock code or what might be the clock problem?

    There is clearly a software bug in the Clock App on the N96 Nokia (it doesn't matter which rev of the firmware you have). Nokia support won't give you a straight answer (most are NOT tech's, they're only telephone support staff using a fault-procedures list).
    Once you get the 'System Error!" on the clock app it won't go away with either the soft reset or the so-called hard reset (which isn't a hard reset by the way). Other 'clock' apps work (calendar etc), but these don't set time (as ant_coe_  has said).
    The issue seems to be related to the comms with the carrier - if, when you first set up your zone, the phone contacts the carrier to link up - the s/w must be setting a zone value that it irrational - say '-99999' once that's happened the app is f****.
    So you need to reset the phone and get a *working* timezone, then all is well, clock stays working...
    The important steps which do work are:-
    1. do a soft reset (*#7370#) or the power reset (Star Green 3)
    2. after the reset - at the first prompted to state your location (local timezone region).
    The clock app then works and yo ucan set date and time.

  • Weird Javascript problem on Safari and other web browsers

    Hello,
    this is actually pretty weird. For the past several weeks I have been dealing with a very strange problem which I believe relates to JavaScript. To be more specific I have an issue with two websites: Macuser.gr and Facebook.com.
    As far as Macuser.gr is concerned this is how it's supposed to look:
    http://f.cl.ly/items/0j1J123Y2D0t1C2U3b1f/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .04%20PM.jpg
    and this is how Safari renders it:
    http://f.cl.ly/items/3N0V3I1c0Q0a1r0K0e1C/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .40%20PM.jpg
    The problem is with the preview images as you can see.
    Now, in Facebook there's this annoying white line where it isn't supposed to be:
    http://f.cl.ly/items/0k0i2c0T0q1h3t2j2s3e/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .52%20PM.jpg
    I have tried and tested everything (Guest user, different browsers etc) and all it comes down to is JavaScript. Disabling Javascript seems to fix everything immediately. Enabling it again and this mess occurs. Also, this happens with the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox BUT not with Camino 2.1.2 although it has JavaScript enabled in it.
    This is really frustrating and it appeared out of the blue one day. I did not have this problem from day 1. Any ideas?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

  • Clock problems after IOS 4.2 upgrade

    We have 2 Iphone 4 at home, each connected to a different computer ( 1 Mac, 1 PC ).
    After the upgrade to IOS 4.2 both have a problem with the clock. When the phone is put on "update clock automatically" ,the following happens (We live in Belgium)
    -Phone 1 switches to summer time as soon as a connection with the provider is made. If you go to fly mode, or put the clock on manual, the correct time is displayed. This occurs wherever you are so it is not linked to the information provided by the cell tower. After a hard reset and restore, this problem was solved.
    -Phone 2 is even stranger. I was in NYC a few weeks ago and set the clock manually on EST. Back in Belgium everything worked fine until after the upgrade. Now the clock will go to EST overnight, ie when I wake up in the morning at 7 AM, it is suddenly 2 AM in the morning. Here, if you go to manual setting of the clock, then switch back to automatic setting, it works fine again.... until the next morning ! And I don't switch off the phone at night
    I guess a hard reboot + restore will be needed as well.
    Anybody else came across this problem ?

    Since 2 days I have the same problem with my Iphone.
    I also live in Belgium and my phone was all of a sudden 1 hour ahead of our local time. I modified the clock settings to manual and then the time switched back correctly. Today somewhere between 8 and 11 AM I noticed the clock was 1 hour ahead again. I adjusted the clock settings to manual again and the clock is correct again. How come this is happening ?
    It all started since my upgrade to version 4.2.1.
    Can someone please take a look at this ? For the record I use the 3 GS 16 GB version. My provider is Proximus.
    Seems my favorite Apple is starting to look a lot like Microsoft since this is the second major time/clock bug in a few weeks.
