Why is the time on my iPhone 5 incorrect?

For the past week I've had trouble with my iPhone 5 displaying the incorrect time. I've tried numerous things to fix it...
I've:
Toggled the clock option from Automatically to Manual. After each time, the time corrects itself, but doesn't last long (yes, even on manual).
Reset my phone. The same thing happens. It corrects itself, but doesn't last long.
Restored my phone from an iCloud backup.
My last resort is to restore my phone to factory settings & see if that works, but I'm really trying to avoid that.
Additional info: I'm currently running iOS 7.1.1. My carrier is Verzion.

I've tried a few more things since I last posted...
Restored my phone to factory settings (not from a back up)
Disabled my phone's LTE. That didn't work.
I saw in this forum where someone suggested changing the name of the iPhone to anything that didn't include apostrophes. I did that at 11:32 and now it says that it's 11:36 (but it's really 11:41). So that doesn't appear to have worked either.
I'm still at a loss... I have no idea what else to try! I will probably schedule a Genius appointment this weekend. I'm hoping it is fixable and not expensive...
Any other tips??

Why is the time different on my Macbook Air and my iPhone?

Hi All,
For some reason the time on my iPhone is consistently 7 minutes behind the time displayed on my Macbook Air (Mavericks). Both devices are set to display the time automatically according to my time zone. After checking time.org, it looks like my phone has the correct time. There must be a logical reason why this is happening and some kind of solution, no?
Thanks for any advice.

On your iPhone ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then tap Settings > General > Date & Time
Switch: Set Automatically ON
No data is lost due to a reset.

The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, although it is set that way, why is the time 10 minutes slow

The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, althought it is set that way. Why does it not update the time and why is it 10 minutes slow?

Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

Hello Mray001
You may need to enable Time Zone Support on your iPhone to ensure that time is correct no matter where you are. Check out the articles below for some troubleshooting options to resolve your issue.

Today I was shopping and I went to check the time on my Iphone but it had shut itself off for no reason and now it won't turn back on. What should I do?

It could have powered off. Try holding the sleep button down for a few seconds until the apple logo appears to restart it

Why is the "other" on my iphone take up so much space?

Why is the "other" on my iphone take up so much space?

"Other" contains objects that are not categorized elsewhere. It includes, for example, iOS, mail messages, and working space.
If "Other" is more than about 1.5 gigabytes, that would be considered a lot of space. That is often caused by corrupt app(s).
You can shrink "Other" by restoring your iPhone using iTunes. Plug your iPhone in, let it sync, then choose "Restore" from your iPhone's summary page in iTunes. You can try restoring from the backup, but that may not work. If not, restore as new and selectively sync apps back.

Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?

Downloads have built-in "checksums" (I think that's the correct term that basically check to make sure the bits of data are being downloaded correctly.
Sometimes the previous check has to redownload the previous bits. That can cause the time to go up.
Also, it may be that your bandwidth speed is slowing down or lots of others are accessing the bandwidth.
BUT if the download goes way, way up—like instead of 12 minutes, it goes to 6 hours, something's wrong with the installation.

Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out. I am unable to move and organize them. I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either. What step am I missing?

So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
I haven't created albums yet.
I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

There are a few things you can try. The first is to simply reset the Shuffle as it may be the cause of the issue.
Resetting iPod shuffle
Otherwise, also make sure that the earbuds are plugged all the way in and that the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle.
If possible, use another set of earbuds to see if they work okay. If they do, we know its the headset that is the problem and from there you'll need to take the necessary steps to replace them.

This is a known bug. After midnight it will correct itself. Apple is aware of it.

Why is the Time Zone incorrect in iCal?

I live in Hawaii and when I trun on the Time Zone Support (in Mail, Contacts,Calendars) and select Honolulu, it puts the time 1 hour earlier than the current time. (iCal shows 6:30 when the actual appointment is for 7:30). However, when I select Anchorage, Alaska, iCal is set to the correct time. If I turn off the Time Zone Support it sets the time 1 hour earlier - just like setting it to the Honolulu time. Can someone explain why this is happening. It start when I switched to Lion and iCloud.

Are you normally in Hawaii? What is your "home" area?
