When i boot my ibook the clock and date keep changing?

when i boot my ibook the clock and date keep changing?

If the battery is dead (or not installed), this will happen. The solution is to keep it plugged into the adapter.
Also, resetting the PMU may help.

I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.
If that sends a message, please note the exact wording.

Time and Date keeps changing

Every time I connect my ipod touch 2.1.1 the date and time keeps changing. is it a glitch? i also tried restoring my ipod but it didnt help, so please fix this

Thanks. This solves the time and date issue. But I still have a problem when I do the following: Settings>General>Time & Date, then the main screen (with all of the icons) is displayed, I never see the time, date screen, it goes back after about 1 second to main screen The same thing happens when I do the following: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>I then scroll to the bottom of the page and I get the main page again. I never get to touch on contacts or calendar, only mail. Please help.

The time and date keeps unlocking, why wont it stay locked?

everytime i start my computer the date and time has changed to some crazy past date lite 1969. I fix and lock it and when i shutdown and return it has unlocked and changed again. How do I keep it locked.

PowerBooks, with a couple of minor exceptions, have a clock/PRAM backup battery inside, usually a Li-Ion rechargeable battery that can last nearly ten years or which can punk out after five years or so, depending on the luck of the draw. When the clock comes up set to baseline (midnight GMT January 1, 1970) repeatedly, that is a dead giveaway that the backup battery is kaput. That being said, the main battery should hold things up for quite a while, unless it is tanking as well. (More on that below.) There are relatively easy fixes for the problem that we can point you to.
What is the specific PowerBook model giving you this problem? Screen size, processor speed and machine model. Launch System Profiler in your Utilities folder in the Applications folder. You should see a Hardware Overview like this in Tiger:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name:          PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model:          PowerBook3,5
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.5.3f2
Copy and paste that into your reply, Do not include the Serial Number for the machine. Then click the Power line under Hardware in System Profiler and copy the battery and charger information there into your reply. That should give us some information about your main battery as well. It should look something like this:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed:          Yes
First low level warning:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5527

Time and date keep changing

It started happening a week or so ago. Every time I boot the time is changed. I set the date from the bios but arch shows the time wrong. Also because of this I sometimes get problems during bootup because the partition looks like it was last mounted in the future. Can anyone help me out?

Aside from possible hardware failure, automatic time adjust could be wrong. Try:
cat /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime
0.026639 1255063716 0.000000
1255063716
UTC
The first field should be a rather low value. If not, delete /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and reboot.
If this does not help, make sure your hardware clock is set right (see: man hwclock). Make sure your current system time displays right and then issue (as root):
hwclock --systohc
Finally (or beforemost) check the HARDWARECLOCK setting in /etc/rc.conf. Does it match your system (either "UTC" or "localtime")?
BTW: This problem comes up often. Just search the forum.

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

Clock and Date Reset

I have Macbook Pro Mid 2010 running on Lion 10.7.4
Every time I run out of battery and automatically shutdown, I get a message that my date is set to before 2001 and causing applications to behave irradically when I boot up for the first time.
I need to change the clock and date in the system pref.
This won't be happen if I shutdown the computer intentionally or make it sleep with enough battery.
Why this is happen? How to fix this issue?
It seems that the "safe deep sleep / hibernation" when the battery is running very2 low is not working.
Thank you,
Setiawan T.

Basically why I asked this question is :
On Snow Leopard, when the battery reaching its "danger zone", let's say I forget to turn my MBP off when I go out for lunch, It will automatically deep sleep / hibernate. So I don't experience this kind of problem.
However since I upgrade to Lion, I face this problem. It won't hibernate everytime the battery reach it's danger zone. Thus the clock and date are being reset.
Regards.

Trouble with clock and date settings

Hi Folks,
Every time I start my G5 I get a message telling me to set the clock and date settings. I set them as requested and save them and put the little lock on them, but next time I start the computer the same message appears.
Would anybody be able to assist please?
Thanks in advance,
Eddie

You might need a new battery. Go to http://support.apple.com/manuals/ and find your exact model - the manual should show you where it's located and which type you need to buy. They're not expensive.

Thanks in advance,

If you have any SELECT FOR UPDATE in your code, these will produce locks, and it will not be released until the session which has locked the record has released it. This can be one reason why you have this behavior.
you need to trail your code if it's explicitly locking a row or more.

N97 clock and date and general widgets

You may want to look under date & time and set the clock from the internet. At least you will have the correct time after a while.

TIme and Date keep changoing

I am running the New 21.5 iMac with 10.6.1 and bootcamp with windows 7. My time and date keep changing, going forward 2-3 days and changing from AM to PM. This happens when I boot into Windows 7 or put it to sleep. I tried setting it to use the Apple NTP server and setting it manually, but neither keep it correct. Also, this is another issue, the display drivers do not offer the highest or correct resolution in Windows 7, it only shows a generic VGA display adapter in device manager.
TIA for any help!

Hello d:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I do not use Windows on my Macs (and have no intention of doing so). Having said that, there is a forum for people who do here:

I installed windows 7 on my iMac 21.5 (late 2009) and when I boot windows 7, the lag drivers are missing and bootcamp is not installed. The windows package would not download through bootcamp, even when left alone for 2 hours.

I inadvertedly changed a setting where the top of my screen no longer shows the apple logo in the top left or the clock and wifi status and strength on the top of the screen, how can I get it to show both of these things again like it used to?

I inadvertedly must have changed a setting where the apple logo and files and things that used to be in the top left corner of the screen are no longer there as the clock and wifi status and other installed settings used to show up in the top right hand corner of my screen. When I move my mouse to the very top of the screen they drop down but when I move my arrow away from the very top of the screen they both disappear again. So I was wondering how can I get it to revert back to the way it used to be? I hope this isnt confusing.

I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar. Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?
