Weird Date and Time warning?

Hi, I keep getting a prompt/warning window (?) that pops up at start up that says, "Your computer's clock is set to a date before March 21, 2001. This may cause some applications to behave erratically. Please use Date and Time preferences panel to set clock manually. For more info see Help..."
The date and time were wrong the first time, like year 2000 (can't remember the month and day) and I corrected it. After that, the date and time are correct but that prompt still comes up.
Is this something viral? How to fix? Thanks.

LOL!!! Of course the PRAM reset didn't really work--like 3X it didn't work. After basically wasting time with 2 more tech calls to Apple, I'm headed for the store to get the battery replaced. The next call had me fix the Disk Permissions via Disk Utility, why I don't know (they did need to be fixed according to the Utility). I'm really surprised at how little Apple's tech "experts" really know. I'll update on the battery change. Thanks.

  • Date and Time sync 8 hours ahead!!

    Hey peepl...
    I'm not a complete vegetable when it comes to the MAC but my iMAC's problem has me mashed...
    I reformatted my hard drive recently so that I could put boot camp on (soiling my MAC with windows software!!) and then restored everything from my Time Machine backup but ever since I did that the time (and date) on my computer is 8 hours ahead of the real time even tho it's supposed to be syncing automatically with apple.asia...
    I know I can manually select the time in "Date and Time" in preferences but I prefer to keep it synced.
    I thought it was a problem with my firewall so I changed a few settings but it keeps on doing it.
    Can anyone help???? It's rather p@ss@ing me off

    Thanks for trying to help mate. I actually solved the problem late last night after noticing something. It seems that Windows in Boot Camp time was set 8 hours ahead which seems to have meant that every time if fixed the time on here, when I rebooted in windows in put it 8 hours further ahead.
    But it ALSO meant that when I tried to sync the time to apple.asia (for some strange and weird reason) the server returned that time as being correct (the one that was 8 hours ahead). I still don't understand it but at least (I think, and hope) it's fixed. :S
    thanks again for taking the time to try and help out Daniel...

  • My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

    Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

    Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
    If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
    Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
    Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
    At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
    sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
    ... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
    Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
    mm = month
    dd = date
    hh = hour (24 hour format)
    nn = minutes past the hour
    yyyy = year
    Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
    sudo date 020821002014
    or
    sudo date 0208210014
    Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
    To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
    Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
    To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

  • Dbx - different date and time compilation

    Hello,
    I am trying to open a core file but I did not have some .o files linked in the executable. Therefore I compiled them and tried to open the core file. I got this warning:

    One problem is that some debugging information (stabs and dwarf)
    is left in the .o files, and not copied into the a.out.
    This problem will go away when we move from stabs to dwarf.
    Here is more information about lazy stabs.
    http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/quenelle?entry=the_story_of_lazy_stabs
    It might be useful to have an option to "force" dbx to read
    stabs from a .o file that is not the same as the one in the a.out,
    but I don't think we have that option yet. It won't be needed
    after we move to dwarf.

  • Date and Time lost when upgraded to PSA/SE 3.0

    I have upgraded from Photoshop Album Starter Edition 2.0 to 3.0 - my tags seem to be intact, but the dates on all of the photos reverted back to January 1, 2003 regardless when I took them. There was no warning about this happening, no recommendation to back up the files in a way to save the date info. I had spent hours posting corrected dates into many of my photos when accessed by PSA/SE 2.0 only to have all that work dissappear once the upgrade was installed. I liked being able to search for photos based on approximate date taken. I realize there is not likely any quick way to restore the dates, but if there is I'd sure like to know.

    When updating I just followed the prompts. I did not choose to cusom install anything. I let the software do all the work.
    A large number of my photos are not in the "Adobe" file and must be reconnected as well. I was hoping that once reconnected the date would return, but, sadly, I was mistaken. As I had mentioned when I first installed 2.0 I had to change the dates and times of all my pre - existing photos. They had also defaulted to January 1, 2003. Now I'm back to square one with them all.

  • As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to insert current date and time in message that you are writing?

    As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to QUICKLY insert current date and time in message that you are writing?
    Literally have seen this very-much-needed -- and used -- option "promised" for three years now, and even if there's only one or two formats that could be used, at least the option is there.
    It seems only way is to link a Macro and tool to Thunderbird and do it that way.

    Where was it promised? A quick search of Bugzilla didn't find a functionality request bug report for it.
    I assume you're aware that Mozilla stopped development about 2 years ago (just adds security/stability fixes and provides infrastructure) and all new features and bug fixes are now added by the community. They seem pretty tied up with bug fixes and reworking some hard to maintain components such as the MIME support.
    Have you tried the Timestamp add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/timestamp/ ? The version at AMO doesn't support versions later than 2.0 so you'd need to do something like install the disable add-on compatibility checks add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=ss, and ignore the warning message about Timestamp not being compatible. However, the author has a version at http://extensions.sanjer.nl/?page=tb_ts that supposedly supports up to Thunderbird 11.9.x so it should be "compatible by default as it supports version 5 or later and is not a binary add-on like Lightning or Enigmail.
    "For Thunderbird use the context menu (right click popup) in the compose window, Ctrl+Shift+T or "Options | Insert timestamp" to inserts the date/time into a message"

  • Equium M40X - error message at start up; 0271: Check date and time settings

    Hi when I start the laptop the message appears:
    ERROR
    0271: Check date and time settings
    WARNING
    0251: System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
    Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
    I would assume this is because my CMOS battery has had it? Is this a know issue with this laptop and how do you get at it to replace it?

    Hi
    It sounds as though your notebook has the wrong time in the CMOS (BIOS).
    If you can get into the BIOS, check the date and time settings and make sure they are correct.
    It may also be a case of the CMOS battery going out. When this happens your notebook will tend to not keep the correct time.
    In such case you should connect the AC adaptor and should leave it connected for about 20-24 hours. At the end of this period the CMOS battery should be fully charged.
    Good luck and best regards

  • Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

    Hi there,
    is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
    For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
    Thanks and regards,
    Henrique.

    Hi there, Moorthy
    We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
    In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
    Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
    Thanks a lot,
    Henrique.

  • Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

    Hi
    I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
    Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
    Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
    So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
    Thanks

    ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
    without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
    However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

  • DVD camcorder (VIDEO_TS) - preserve clip date and time

    I had asked this question on the forums a long time ago but iMovie did not seem to be supporting it reliably at the time. But since some time has passed, I wanted to check if iMovie '09 can import clips from a mini DVD (those used in camcorders to capture video directly on to DVD media) AND preserve the clip's date and time.
    What I see is that the first clip gets some date and time related to the event's date and time (perhaps the start time of the first clip?) but all the other clips which are imported, get timestamps of 1 second after that first clip's timestamp.
    These are all my home videos and in order to keep each clip short, I have had the habit of pausing after about a minute or two, resulting in MANY clips over MANY DVD's, so manually updating date and time is absolutely the last resort.
    The DVD player can see the clip date and time correctly, and so could the camcorder (I have since sold the darn thing!) so I know that information exists somewhere in the DVD, but it seems like iMovie is unable to "see" it.
    Any help would be appreciated, including programmability hints.

    Thank you for your post.  I figured out why iMovie was assigning today's date to everything that I imported.  It turns out that many of my video files did not have a real "created" date--some had no date at all and some had Wednesday, December, 1967 or 9 (I think).  iMovie defaulted today's date in both of these situations.  I took your advice and ot A Better Finder Attribute and easily converted all of the files using the option to copy the "modified date" into the "created date" attribute.  Now everything imports correctly into iMovie.

  • How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

    How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

    Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
    By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
    I doubt the designer actually uses the app.
