Why Is Keeping Correct TIME in Arch Such A PITA?

Why has this happened again. Why is keeping correct time in Arch such a constant struggle and general pain in the ass?
My latest Ubuntu install doesn't even use ntp or openntpd, and never looses track of time. It keeps correct time running in an
Arch Vbox along with most other virtual Linux distros.
Does this have to be this way. I could care less if my time is off by a min or so, but to be off 10min every 2-3 days is not good.
It seems the info in the wiki is ether obsolete or inaccurate and or overly complex.....with too many....some people do this....you may want to try that....
If I was a Linux GURU, I'd figure this problem out and correct/update the wiki......but since I'm not, and can't...
I have no choice but to beg for help, Please!!
This is the problem again!!!

Thanks for the help and patience Rookie.
I guess I am kinda guilty in not wanting to put much into "just want to see close to the correct time on my desktop" problem!!!
I tend to prioritize the time I spend on my new Linux hobby by what I find interesting and or FUN.....
To be honest, this time issue has been neither, and is something I'd like to find a quick fix, and move on.
I haven't spent much/any time actually "studying" it....my bad!!
And no, I didn't just randomly guess 4 numbers between 0 and 255, put them together with decimal points, and hope for the best....
I used my random time server IP address generating algorithm ....just kiddn!!
I got them from my ntpq -p output (#8 post above) that was when ntp was working.
My ntp.log file:

Prime Optical Server not keeping correct time.

OK this is an issue that I have been having since we loaded Optical Prime 9.3.1. I thought it might have been solved in OP 9.6, it hasn't. We are running both on two separate Red Hat 5.8 servers that are spot on to the NTP server we have. The NTP is tied to a GPS Strat 1 source. We have tried every setting we can think of. It's not a small drift either. Current time on both RH servers is 1956 UTC. the 9.3.1 OP says 0207 UTC tomorrow, and the 9.6 OP server shows 0443 UTC tomorrow. It is frustrating to my Techs and me. I have told them to use the NE alarm time on the screen for tracking tickets.
I need help. it is causing problems with data collection and analysis. things I can do in CPO I have to collect from 117 different NE's.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Steve

Satellite L775D-S7222 clock will not keep correct time

When I turn on/leave my computer on my time will change anywhere from 5 minutes to about 5 days ahead. It happens everytime I use my computer. I change the time constantly and also have tried changing time zones and changing the websites in which the time can be synced from. Its a small problem but it is very aggravating! I've heard that this could be a hardware problem, but hopefully that is not the case!

Try DFU mode and then restore to factory settings/new iPod. Not from backup

Why do I get "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on..."

Any idea why I keep getting 'Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on “MyBookLiveDuo”. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you." ? It's just started happening. Running 10.8.2 on two laptops. One is fine backing up the other keeps showing this error. Both versions of the OS are identical. Same wireless network, same Raid back-up, same tiem zone etc. Any ideas? It takes hours to wipe and start again, and really defeats the idea of Time Machine.

The disk images on which the backup data is stored are being corrupted. Backing up to a network device other than a Time Capsule or a Mac is unsupported by Apple. You're completely dependent on the device vendor if something goes wrong, and the vendor will blame Apple.
I suggest you start backing up to a locally-attached external hard drive, preferably more than one, or to a supported network device. If you don't want to do that, use a backup tool other than Time Machine.

Any reason why it keeps telling me that it doesn't recognize my 3-digit security code and I have put it in several times correctly?

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

TS2784 I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic New York time. Throughout the day the clock keeps changing times on its own by hours. Sometimes in is correct. Sometimes it is wrong.

I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic at New York time. Throughout the day the date and time on the phone keeps changing on its own and often by a few hours. Sometimes it goes to the correct time. Sometimes it is way out. Is there something wrong with my settings?

This is a known issue with the iPhone 5. Turn off the automatic time setting for the time being. It will most likely be corrected in an upcoming update to iOS if the tech press is to be believed.

Why does individual display time on iPhoto slideshow keeps changing?

I'm trying to create a slideshow in iPhoto. I'd like each slide to display at vairous lengths so that they are synchronized to music. After I change the display time in each slide, something happens and the display times that I've set previously have somehow changed to different lengths. I'm not sure why this keeps happening. Please help!

Make sure the option Fit slideshow to music isn't selected.
If it's not selected Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try the slideshow again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

My iphone 4 has changed to daylight savings. I do not live in an area with daylight savings? How do i keep the phone on automatic with the correct time?

My iphone 4 has changed to daylight savings. I do not live in an area with daylight savings? How do i keep the phone on automatic with the correct time?

I have the same issue. I live in Arizona and we also don't do that stupid daylight savings. When I put it to auto it says Denver. Location should pick up Phoenix. Needs to get fixed because I have to manually set it every time I travel now until DST is over.

When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers". When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.
You may also want to check the preferences for Firefox:

Why doesn't NOAA "time" website no longer give correct time??

For the past several weeks I have been unable to get the correct time from the NOAA website in Ft Collins CO. This has been working fine for years and to my knowledge is the only site affected.
Upon log-in get a black page indicating trying to connect which it never does.When I try to log-out indicates "firefox is engaged" and I will have to restart browser. Anyone know what gives???

Try to update Java to the latest Java 7 version if that site is using a Java applet to display the time.
