Where does Apple collect their Date & Time Information?

I'm trying to isolate a problem for why the date and time for Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, AK when set automatically is on Hawaii Time when it should be on Alaska Time.  The islands further west on the Aleutian Island Chain are on Hawaii Time, but not Unalaska Island.  While in Unalaska, I have to set date & time on all my Mac devices to manual, and switch it back to automatic whenever I leave.  As much as I travel, it is a nuisance having to switch back an forth between automatic and manual. This has been an ongoing problem for the past 2 or 3 years, and previously, it worked correctly. 
I've noticed that some date/time websites have it wrong, but some have it correct.  So, if I can find out where Apple collects their Date & Time information, I should be able to figure out whether it's an "Apple" problem or an "ISP" problem.

I thought that they put out recalls for stolen cars.  Am I wrong on that?
Yes.
A vehicle recall is to fix issues that the manufacturer feels they need to do something about such as bad parts.
Or the Government felt they needed to do something about.

    Where does apple get their wallpapers from and how can you contribute.

    Apple seems to use a wide source for their screen images...some were from NASA (such as Lion and Mountain Lion), some may have been photo pros.

  • CCMS: where does CCMS collects the database space information from?

    Hi,
    We are experiencing a kind of inconsistency in the data that CCMS is collecting for the space tablespaces related MTE's. Here is the thing:
    - RZ20 > SAP CCMS Monitoring Templates > Database :  will show the PSAPSRQ tablespace at 94% (which is wrong)
    - DB02 will show the same tablespace at 88% (which is the correct value)
    - BRSPACE will also show the 88% (the correct value)
    Note that CCMS is do active and collecting (the value is not obsolete as you can actually see the timestamp being updated for the respective used space MTE).
    Do you know why are we seeing this inconsistency? Where does CCMS collect the tablespace information and how often?
    Any ideas or help to avoid this inconsistency will be helpful, as basically CCMS is sending us false alerts/emails.
    Thanks and regards

    Jesus,
    I just came across this issue myself after assuming that I was collecting the correct data.   The problem is that SAP is collecting the column Total Used (%) in DB02 instead of Used (%).   You should see your 94% as reported in CCMS in the Total Used column in DB02.
    What we need is the Used (%) column which is much more critical than the Total Used (%). 
    I have not found an MTE to report this data.    Until then, we have to manually check every server for Tablespace levels instead of in our Central CCMS.
    If you have a solution, please send.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Where does Application Server get its time information from?

    Hello All,
    My OS (AIX 5.2) has the correct time info. for e.g. right now, it's 09:40:24 EDT 2007
    My application server console however displays GMT time on the home page. I've tried restarting the console to no avail. Has anyone run into this?
    Thanks.

    A SCCP device will send a TimeDateReq packet to CCM and the CCM will respond with a DefineTimeDate packet which includes the current date/time and the phone can use the new time to keep in sync with CCM (ie. compensate for any drift since its previous DefineTimeDate request).
    Sample snippet from CCM trace.
    =====
    08/07/2006 03:39:17.630 CCM|StationInit: (0000060) TimeDateReq.|
    08/07/2006 03:39:17.630 CCM|StationD: (0000060) DefineTimeDate timeDateInfo=8/7/2006 3:39:17,1 systemTime=1154936357.|
    =====
    The interval at which a SCCP sends the TimeDateReq may vary by device type/model.
    Here are a few of the known intervals/times.
    Third-gen-phones (7970/61/41/etc) resync around 3:15am daily.
    http://wwwin-metrics.cisco.com/cgi-bin/ddtsdisp.cgi?id=CSCsc29075&show=R-comments
    Symptom:
    A 7970/71, 7941/61, or 7911 that is not used for an extended period of time may show a different time compared to other 7940/60s registered to the same CallManager. It may be a few minutes behind.
    Conditions:
    Phone not used for an extended period of time
    Workaround:
    None. When the phone is taken off-hook, the date and time will be synchronized with the CallManager
    Use latest phone load.
    7912/05s are random.
    http://wwwin-metrics.cisco.com/cgi-bin/ddtsdisp.cgi?id=CSCsd48532
    7920 resyncs at 3am.

    I installed a game,Now I need to add some files however, I cannot find where iMac stores it.. where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?
    thx alot
    erik

    Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.

  • HT204053 Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 2.1 Computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I am no longer able to renew my MobileMe account, Why? Maybe I should look into PC Computers in the future!

    Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

    MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
    You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

  • My cat likes to lick and chew on iPhone charging cables. What does Apple coat their cables with?

    My cat likes to lick and chew on iPhone charging cables. Only Apple cables, she is not attracted to any others in our home. Has anyone else had this happen.
    The Kindle and iPhone cables are right next to each other. She only likes the Apple cable leaving the Kindle cable untouched.
    What does Apple coat their cables with?
    Thanks in advance

    I'll go ahead and suggest it. My cat has chewed (and destroyed) the following:
    --two sets of my brother's Apple ear buds
    --two sets of my boyfriend's Apple ear buds
    --three sets of my own Apple ear buds
    -- one Macbook power cord ($80+ to replace)
    I went into the Apple store Friday to buy a new power cord. I said to the genius helping me, "I didn't even have that cord for a year.  Ye know what happened to it?"
    Genius said, "Your cat ate it?"
    They're aware of the issue!
    WTH secret ingredient is Apple using?  My story is no different than the others: cat leaves all other cords alone; seeks out and destroys Apple cords.
    The only thing I know for sure is that Apple makes money on cord replacements.

  • I need to download 10.7.0 (10.7.2 max), where does Apple keep earlier versions of OS?

    i foolishly updated my MacPro and laptop to 10.7.3, but then discovered that it messed up some of my Pro apps like Nikon Capture NX2, which is only supposed to work on 10.7.2
    i have been trying to find anyway to go back, and was informed that i had to erase and start from the OS that came with my mac
    so i went back to 10.6.4, and have now updated to 10.6.8
    then went to the App Store in order to update to 10.7.0, which i had already bought
    but the App Store only offers me 10.7.3, and no earlier versions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    where can i get 10.7.0?
    (i have the combo update which is available on the downloads of Apple website, but this is obviously no good without the base 10.7 already installed)
    this appears to be a problem that Apple has created by not selling OS on discs anymore
    HELP!!!!

    @shldr2thewheel
    since i am at present on 10.6.8 surely i can update to 10.7.0 and then to 10.7.2?
    i had already worked out that i could not go backwards from 10.7.3 when i went into an Apple store yesterday, so i am trying to go forward, but it seems quite odd that i can not upgrade to 10.7.2 ONLY since some apps do not work with 10.7.3
    and i DID HAVE a backup iof 10.7.2 when i backed up, but once i was on that there did not seem to be a problem, so i updated my backup to 10.7.3 - are you saying that the backup should always be an OS step behind the master? (in which case what about all the new work that one does in between backups, there would be no backups of that at all!)
    I have always made a habit of keeping system updates on external drives, just for my own OCD ways. I downloaded Lion 10.7 and have also kept the updates since. I also have backups of the last few system updates, but do get rid of them after I realise the newer updated backups are all I require.
    So where did I learn about backups and saving updates? By reading Apple Media and coming to the forum here and elsewhere and reading up on it. The serious Computer user should really make a concerted effort to protect their data and system set ups in the most secure way they can. An $80 1TB backup drive can be the difference between smooth transitions and reinstalls and problems as you are experiencing now.
    Just some food for thought for the future. There is more often than not no second chances for system and drive crashes. Protect your data at all costs.
    Good Luck

  • When does Apple confirm their problem with the firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods???

    I'm really frunstrated about the unwillingness from apple support to address/confirm the issue around firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods.
    I spent hours to talk to support and explain varios tests I did on that subjetct, but apple keeps saying: It's not our problem!
    Shame on apple! I really thaught apple is different, but it turns out, that between shareholder value und marketing campaines there's no space for customer care....
    Did somone suffering with the same issue (video freezes after 30 sec and continues without sound) got any better answer from apple?
    What information does apple need to confirm it's apple's problem?
    Regards, netwho
    PowerBook 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I have bought my 30GB iPod Video just 3days ago, and it tried to upgrade the ipod updater to 1.1.
    I have updated my ipod without a problem. And I had also updated to latest version of iTunes.
    Itunes had given error few times and closed itself while optimizing photos before transfering them to ipod. I have sorted out that it was due to my photo folder being over 2GB's, than started importing them in smaller portions by adding a new folder each time. Afterwords, photos and pictures copied to iPod without problems.(but i have to add, i have received a nonsense error like 'itunes cant write to folder or something)
    After a bit of dazzling and struggling i was able to play videos and music as well. But after few seconds iPod screen frozen and i wasnt able to do anything. I have reboot it, and tried to change songs, and after few songs, the screen frozen again, wheel was not functioning but funny part, music was still playing. I got online and checked the forums and seen other people having those problems after upgrading to new firmware. I have uninstalled the 1.1 firmware and installed the one on CD, and I have also downgraded my version of iTunes as well. Now things seems to work all fine.
    I just don't get why apple withdraws this buggy problametic version of firmware, they will drive more users go mad and not every computer/iPod user would figure out why it happened themselves...
    One more thing I have to add. Why I am also having hard to understand why each version of iTunes started consuming unbelievedable amount of RAM on computer. I have 1.4Mhz centrino with 512 RAM, and the sound distorts(slows down) over iTunes when start copying files from DVD. Or it cause errors and shutdowns 'on optimizing photos' stage on iTunes when i try to copy photos to my iPod. I don't think 1.4Mhz and 512mb ram shall be called as low resource simply to use iTunes. They really need to retest, debug and optimize their software. And immediately, remove that 1.1 firmware from apple.com until they resolve the bugs and error inside it.

  • Emailing Photos from iPhoto 09 causes date/time information to be lost

    My entire family just updated from iLife 06 to iLife 09. We are all running OS 10.5.7 and have installed all of the auto updates for iLife. Since the upgrade, we've noticed that if we email eachother pictures (using Apple's Mail program), the date and time information seems to get lost (this was not a problem before the iLife upgrade). When I receive an email with a photo attached (it was attached using the email button in iPhoto), when I import that photo into my iPhoto, the date/time are of the current import, not of when the photo was taken. Is this a known problem? If not, is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The copies of photos that iPhoto makes for emailing and other uses are stripped of the EXIF data when edited or mailed using the Email button.
    To keep the EXIF data with the files you email you will need to not edit the file and drag the thumbnail from iPhoto into an open email window. Once the photo is in the email body you can resize it using the menu at the bottom right of the email window.

  • How to store date/time information in a channel?

    Hello,
    I'm logging manufacturing test data into TDM files from LabWindows CVI 8.0.
    So far, I've organzied the data like:
    one Channelgroup for each Measurement type
    one Channel per DUT into eah Channelgroup
    There is a new tdm file creatd each day.
    For a later analysis, we want to able to easily search for all DUT's manufactured between Date/Time1  and Date/Time2 within all files.
    Question:
    What would be the most recommeded way to store the manufacturing date/time of the DUT with the channel?
    I have assigned the channel name with a date/time string, - but it is kind of awkward to search for a range with string types.
    Is there a better way?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Hi Greg,
    Unfortunately, DIAdem Datafinder doesn't really support much in the way
    of Date/Time search outside of the File Level Creation Date property.
    In order to make the creation time of the Channels searchable you would
    want to create some custom properties (or use the existing RegisterInt1
    - RegisterInt6) to define your own searchable properties.
    For example, since you know that you have one TDM file per day, you can
    start your search by find the desired day on the File Property Level,
    searching the "Creation Date" property. When you store your TDM
    properties, you could store the hour creation as an integer (and
    thereby searchable) in one of the RegisterInt properties of the
    channel, or create your own custom "Hour" channel. You could similarly
    save the minute and second property in their own custom properties.
    Then, since you're saving integer values, you can then search those
    values to determine the time that the channel was created.
    I realize that this isn't ideal or elegant, as in total it requires 4
    searches (date, hour, minute, second). But that is the most
    straightforward way of searching your channels by creation date/time.
    Hope this helps Greg, let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Where do apps save their data?

    I recently wiped my hard drive and put most things back  on but all my game data has dissapeared. For example in Real Racing 2, I finished the entire game but now I have to start all over. On Bloon TD 5, I was level 65, but now I'm level 1 again.
    Where can I find the data so I can put it in my current hard drive?
    Please Respond.

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    ~/Library/Containers
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder will open. All current App Store products store their data in a subfolder of that folder. You can identify the subfolder by the name of the developer and/or the app.
