Why are the date and time not updating in backups.backupdb folder?
I just started using Time Machine on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. After the initial full back-up and first few updates, the backup folder (on an external 1.5 TB Firewire drive) continues to show the original "date modified" of the very first back-up and lists the size as a ridiculous 2.48 GB. (Using BackupLoupe, I know it actually is 280 GB, reflecting the size of my internal HD). Any idea why this folder's info is not updating in the finder (even using "Get Info")? Are my back-ups really there? (It certainly seems so according to BackupLoupe).
First, the best way to view or restore from your backups is via the Time Machine display, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15. Using the Finder is not recommended.
Do not worry about the dates. First, the date modified only applies to the "parent" folder; that's not the Backups.backupdb folder, but the one inside it that's named for your Mac.
Don't worry about the sizes, either. On Leopard and Snow Leopard, the size of a backup folder was the total size of all the items that were on your Mac at the time of that backup (less exclusions). On Lion, however, it's the "unique size" -- the size of items that appear only on that backup.

Email syncs now say "Updated Mar 30", the day I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0. Two days later it is still saying Mar 30. The notification should read the date and time you updated email receiving. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution to this?

Help... Bug in the Date and Time ?!
Hello... I have BB Z10 that I bought it a year ago, and very satisfied for my decision to change my Torch into Z10 so far. Recently I have upgrade its OS to the latest one, and I'm quite happy to see myany improvement in it. But after a while, i just realize something strange with my Z10, which I don't know is it really a bug or not? I'm just a loyal user of BB and have no capability in Dev sectors.
The problem is :
Everytime I shutdown my BlackBerry, It's clock always change. why it happens? is it really abug?
First of all, in Date and Time setting, I set my Z10 timezone to my home time zone. And I *set off* the Auto Update Time Zone since i have to work many times to places with different time zone of my home city... and I still want my Z10 to show my Home City Time Zone rather to the place where I stayed for temporary.
Secondly, sometimes I must Shutdown my Z10, according the rules where I worked. So It's no option at all for setting it to Airplane mode.
Thirdly, sometimes I always shut my Mobile Service, and change it to Wifi Connection where available. I do it so I can spare my battery life, since in my workplace, sometimes there's no electricity at all, and many times i forgot to bring my charge when i go to town with electricity.
So... again, everytime i turn on my Z10, the date is always change... and i couldn't recall, is it the time before i'm upgrading my latest OS.
So, if this is a bug, i hope RIM dev can fix this in the next OS Update. Some other my phone (sucha as Nokia, Samsung, Android, and even my Company Satphone) doesn't have this problem.
If this is not a bug, what can I do so my Date and Time is not change?
FYI, as I said before, I CAN NOT set on Auto Update Time Zone, since I LIKE my Z10 to stay in my home zone so it's easier for me to see what time in my home. I've already have to set Date and Time Automatically Bar to *On Position* 9even I don't know for sure what is used for), but when I restarted why Z10, the Date and Time was changing again. Meanfile my Time Zone still the same, to my Home Time Zone. So what exatcly the Set Date and Time Automatically option really use for? My Date and Time still always changing everytime I "turn it on" or "restart" my Z10, regardless that automatic option set on or off.
Any idea? Thanks for the help
I sent it from my BBzTen.If you back everything up, you can restore everything after the wipe. You will not lose data. After restoring all you have to do is enter your password for your accounts.
However, if you do that it's possible, not for sure, but it's possible you will restore the problem. If you restore only media and application data you will have to re-add your accounts, reset all your notifications etc. Any apps you had will have to be redownloaded from BBWorld but it's quite quick and easy to do. The wipe will leave the OS in tact so you won't have to do anything with that.

My computer will not let me type in my password or move the mouse but the date and time are changing and there is a spinning noise what do I do!!???
Meredith199,
does your MacBook Pro have an Eject key (⏏) in the top-right corner of the keyboard? If so, does pressing Control-⏏ show a restart/sleep/shutdown dialog box?
If you press Shift-⌘Q, does your MacBook Pro recognize that as an attempt to log out? -
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. -
HT3180 The date and time on my Apple TV is not setting, anyone that can help me? Please!
I can't get the date and time to set up on the Apple TV, how can I fix this problem? I tried restarting and that's not helping.
Hi Jhoana82,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you unplug the Apple TV for thirty seconds to restart it, then restore it to the factory settings.
Click on the links below for more details and screenshots ...
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV
You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
Your Apple TV will restore to its factory settings, and will also download and install the latest Apple TV software update. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
I hope you are back up and running with your Apple TV soon!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

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.

Cisco SPA525g2 Date and time Not Synced with the PBX server
Hello,
We have a couple of SPA525g2 phone connected and registered to our PBX server. We were able to configure 3 extensions on different lines of the phone. However, at times we were encountering issues with the other lines configured on the phone. There are times wherein 1 extension configured on the phone is having one way audio issue, but the other extensions configured on the same phone is working fine. and we have to reboot/reset the phone several times for all the extesions configured on the phone to work.
Also, whenever we reset the phone, the date and time will be way way behind the current date and time, eventhough we have already set the correct date and time before we reset the phone.
How can we resolve the one way audio issue on 1 or 2 extensions of the phone, while the other extensions configured to it is working fine?
How can we make the phone sync the date and time with the PBx server?
Any input and help regarding this issue is greatly appreciated...
Btw, date and time issue not sync with the PBX server is just happening on SPA525g2, we have other phones like SPA303, SPA504, and SPA232D/SPA302D. All other phones' date and time is in sync with the server even though we reset them except SPA525g2.

Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?
I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Frank BDoesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

I tried to change the metadata date. It changed the date on my photo, but when I checked the box that said "also change my original file", it gave me this error message.
Unable to change original file. Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the original file “01769_p_h13ajyrm4bm0944.jpg” because it is locked or you do not have permission to modify it.
Wassup?What is your Aperture version? The older versions of Aperture 3 had a problem to apply Metadata changes to the original file.
If you are using the current version Aperture 3.4.5, try to repair the permissions on your Aperture library, if you have not already done so:
Launch Aperture with the key combination ⌥⌘ held down and select "Repair Permissions" from the First Aid PAnel, that will appear.
If that does not help, post back with more information on your original files - are the referenced or managed? Where is your Aperture library located? Since when do you have this problem? And what did you do directly before noticed the problem for the first time?
Regards

I can't seem to find a way to update the date/time of a master file. There is a format issue but I can't seem to figure out how to correct it.
Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file “2008-06-22 at 14-41-14.jpg” because it has a format that does not permit date modification.Can you post an ipconfig /all from the server and the DC?

My account keeps asking for Region but the drop down menu lists Cities in China. I can,'t cange the region in my account because it asks me to check the date and time but these are correct. Any answers please?
Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful. -
The date and time of files created and saved are off
I notice that under the date modified column, files that I have saved or updated are usually a day off. I checked the date and time in the system preferences and it is correct. is something wrong with the battery?
Hi, paulmont -
Be sure the Time Zone setting is correct.
If you have time displayed as 12-hour (rather than 24-hour), be sure the AM/PM setting is correct. Having that wrong will displace the mod/create date/time recorded for a file by 12 hours, which will (at times) shift it to another day.
If you use Classic, make sure the same settings are in Classic as well as in OSX, particularly the Time Zone setting. This is especially true for machines which can be and are booted into OS 9. The typical symptom for this being the cause is an offset of one or a few hours. -
