X230 clock slowly loses time

My X230 is still under warranty but for the past 6 months or so, the clock slowly loses time, maybe 1-3 minutes per week. Just was 10 minutes late for a conference call because the clock said it was 2:59 when it was actually 3:11. I change it back then over time it slowly loses time again. Is there a battery inside or something that I can change myself or any idea what might cause this?

I've had the same problem, clock looses a couple of minutes each week. Running windows8. I'm about to switch to Linux to see if the problem will go away. If not I will send it in for service.

Clock Consistency Loses Time After Mountain Lion

Hello,
Its been awhile since mountain lion and this problem has persisted throughout a few updates my clock on my macbook pro 17 Early 2011 is consistently losing time since I upgraded by several hours. I have done a PRAM reset and repaired disk permsions that whole drill, this was a problem I saw in Windows alot but never thought I would see it in a Mac but hey this computer has been a nightmare since I bought it and everyone passed the buck, so in ending is this a known issue thats being worked on? or is it time to take the computer into mac store yet again?

No, it's not a known issue. First I heard of it, any.
If you reset pram and it didn't help, you need to take it in.
If you have a long record of the problems and repairs done, I'd call Customer relations 800-767-2775
and ask for a replacement.

Clock of my G550 66Y loses time

Hello, I have bought my notebook in december. My problem is that the clock loses time... only the time, not the date... I have configured the regional settings right... I don't know what is happening... I don't think it might be the battery... it only has three months! Hope someone can help me. Thanks!!!

Yes, sounds like a link between your time zone setting
and computer losing 3 hrs. You have Vista?
Make sure you have all windows updates.
Uncheck the Internet time syncronization in the Date and Time applet.
One suggestion I found from hp:
Start Windows in Safe Mode (Keep tapping F8 on boot and choose Safe Mode in menu)
Go to Device Manager
Find System CMOS/Real Time Clock under System Devices
Uninstall it
Restart and clock driver will re-install

HP DV3-2350el - system clock loses time

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion DV3-2350el, just returned back from a repair by HP in warranty.
Now I've noticed that the system clock loses time when the notebook is off.
I think it should be a CMOS battery issue, but I haven't found any information about it.

Hi,
How old is your machine ? Normally a CMOS battery can last for 4 or 5 years. Anyway, you may want to try yourself or bring it back to the repairer to reseat the CMOS battery. You can download this manual, page 4-22 shows you how to work with the RTC (or CMOS) battery.

WinXP Clock Loses Time; Will Re-Sync Cause Problems?

We've recently upgraded to LabView7.1, and have recently noticed that our system clock is losing time at a much greater rate than it has in the past. The clock can be seen hanging every few seconds in the "Date and Time Properties" view where the date and time options of the computer can be set.
I may be incorrect, but I believe the system is unable to keep proper time due to the CPU intensive nature of our data logging VI's. We've decreased the data sample rates and resolution, as well as the displayed plotting rates of our collected data. This hasn't helped the problem. The plot of our CPU performance against time can be seen in Windows Task Manager, and our performance demonstrates a saw-tooth like curve o
f CPU usage, periodically saturating at 100% for a few seconds.
I'm interested in knowing if there is anything I can do to get my system keeping time correctly without any other time program intervention.
If I must incorporate the use of another time synchronization program like Thinking Man Software's Dimension 4 v5.0, how much risk am I running by having this extraneous program resynchronizing my clock while I'm logging data and executing VI's with time dependent loops?

It means that your VI uses all the ressources of your system.
This kind of phenomenon can occur when the system is overloaded with loops that are NOT timed.
If you time your loops (either with "timed loops" or "wait.vi" or "wait until next ms.vi")this should stop

IPad clock loses time

My iPad clock began losing time last week. I probably had a warranty then.

If you search this forum for loosing AND time you will find several threads discussing iPads loosing time. Those might provide some help.

Computer running LabView loses time

Running LabView VI on HP Brio pc
Computer clock loses time non-linearly
e.g. after 24 hours lost 5 mins, after 36
lost 20mins. Time stamped log file is therefore wrong.
Happens with both Win95 or Win98 OS but worse on Win95.
The VI is reading data from instruments on serial port
and also a GPIB interface. Very slow
logging though (1 reading/min over many days).
Does this look like a hardware or software issue? Has anyone ever experienced this?
Help appreciated

Mine does too - and I can loose an hour in a day! I posted it on
a microsoft newsgroup and they explained that it was my problem,
my application was too cpu bound to service the time interupt
requests. There is no need to reset the time, just reboot. Windows
it seems only reads the time from the BIOS once at startup.
Call it a feature...?
I call it a bug!

Can't access Web Site, super slowly and time out!

Hi all,
I am using Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V, HP DL360 G6 Server
The Master OS have a NIC1 to VLAN1 Switch (Also in the Cisco SG300 Switch)
Plus other NIC2 connect to Cisco SG300 28 Switch (Running in L3 Mode), this Cisco then connect to a SonicWALL NSA 2400.
I build some VLAN31 on SonicWALL NSA 2400, and add this to the Cisco SG300 as Truck Port connect Both...
Other Port on the SG300 are untouch, so mean default running mode is Truck mode, and one of it port connect to the NIC2 to the Server ...
Ok, if Hyper-V VM, not enable VLAN in the Hyper-V Management in 2012 R2, it can take the DHCP from the SonicWALL NSA 2400 no problems, can see other LAN (VLAN1) machine well both direction, and go to Internet too.
But, if I setting the VLAN31 on Hyper Manager to some VM, it can take the DHCP and take the IP from SonicWALL for this VALN31, include DNS, GW etc...
But ... it just can ping internet, for example, ping www.yahoo.com it ok, but open IE, enter www.yahoo.com will super super slowly and time out, if running CentOS 6.5 Linux, enter yum update, it total not work, time out, 0.2kb/s etc. But it can ping to www.yahoo.com
no problems...
And If Windows run routert www.yahoo.com, over 10s to see next hub ...
I am double checked SonicWALL NSA2400 Firewall Policy is allow all VLAN and LAN to WAN, and VLAN TO VLAN too..
What is wrong on the Hyper-V VLAN? Do I am setting wrong of my switch port mode (Access/Trunking)?
I am now out of direction what is go on to troubleshooting this.
Thank you.

Widget world clock shows incorrect time

widget world clock shows incorrect time.. how can i fix this?

There are two possibilities: (1) your computer's time is wrong. Open System Preferences, select the Date & Time tab, and either set the time manually or select a time server. If you choose the time server click on the Time Zone tab and choose your correct time zone. (2) click on the i on the World Clock widget and select a city near you (that's in the same time zone as yours.)

How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

HA! I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars". So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account. Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone. Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone. Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE. I made my own day!
I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

How SAP HR Handles dummy clock in/out time data?

Dear all,
I have a question whether SAP HR has the function to handle dummy clock in/out time data.
The scenario is like this:
For an employee, his
daily work schedule: 8:00 to 17:30,
break time for meal: 12:15 to 13:00.
Employees always have dummy clock in/out time events. For example, when an employee arrives the company, he clocks at the first floor at 7:45, after he arrives fourth floor (his workplace), he forgets whether he has clocked in or not, then he will clock at the fourth floor at 7:50 again. Assume this employee is very muddle-headed and repeats this mistake many times a day, then his clock in/out event may become:
7:45, 7:50, 12:15, 12:17, 12:50, 12:59, 17:35
Assume all the time events are entered to SAP, then the time pairs will be formed like:
In        out        work hours
7:45 - 7:50        0
12:15 - 12:17        0
12:50 - 12:59        0
17:35 - ???          No clock out
Then this employee will be in trouble for that day.
We can know that in the above clock events, 7:50, 12:17, 12:59 are dummy ones. If the SAP HR can compare with the daily work schedule and remove them before time evaluation, then there will not be problem.
Could anybody advise on this issue? Thanks a lot.
SH WU

hi SH WU
You need to create a rule in schema to handle only the first and last entries.
IF they are supposed to be swipeed only twice then you can create constant in t511k and set the start time and end time and compare them and process.......

Mac loses Time Capsule (3TB, MD033) disk all the time

Hello! Strange problem - my OS X devices (iMac 2012 27* and MacBook Retina 13 2013) lose Time Capsule 3TB disk all the time.
To be more precise: in finder when I click AirPort I have a "Connecting..." rolling all the time.
2-3 minutes pass and iMac connects OK. Only to lose this disk again some time later.
I would blame malfunctioning TC but I replaced it already to absolutely new one and have EXACTLY the same problems.
The most amusing - is that physically connection is perfect. If you opened file from this disk (for example, watching the film, or copying the file from or to it) it NEVER fails. you watch the film from TC disk dor few hours and everything is fine. Besides, my PC connected to the same TC NEVER loses connection. But iMac (wire connection) and MacBook - have same symptoms.
Furthermore - Time Machine (both on iMac or MacBook) NEVER loses this disk and makes a backup even if I cannot access this disk from Finder.
And one more strange thing - the Time Machine WAS losing disk, before upgrade to 10.10.1 (from 10.10). But after installing 10.10.1 the problem was gone from Time Machine but remained for Finder.
I wonder - what's wrong with it? Is seems so unlikely for apple to have such bugs.

Oh you are quite wrong.. Apple have heaps and heaps of network bugs.. Yosemite went a bridge too far with the wireless handoff to iOS.. that causes mayhem.. but there are other issues as well.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

Timer loses time

When you set a timer for your phone, the timer will always lose the timer so you never know how much time you have left on your timer. It eventually lets you know that the timer is up with a notification (either sound or vibration) but still, I have to wonder if it's accurate since it's losing the timer.

The HP LA2205 and LA2306 monitors here lose time too.I've got to do: Main Menu, Management, Sleep Timer, Set Current Time.every couple of days, manually, to synch the correct time. What's up with these monitors?

How to Sync System Clock with Internet Time in Windows 7?

"Internet Time" tab is missing in Clock Settings as shown in below link.
http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/7maintenance/windows-seven-7-sync-system-clock-with-internet-time-how-to/
Please suggest how to Sync System Clock with Internet Time in Windows 7?
Regards, Dharmendra, Bangalore (India)

The note at the bottom of the first link from Alex Verboon has the following, which worked on my Domain-associated Windows 7 system:
Synchronizing with an Internet time server
You can synchronize your computer clock with an Internet time server. This means that the clock on your computer is updated to match the clock on the time server, which can help ensure that the clock on your computer is accurate. Your clock is typically updated
once a week and needs to be connected to the Internet for the synchronization to occur.
Note
If your computer is on a domain, you can't synchronize your clock with an Internet time server.
Open Date and Time by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Date and Time.
Click the Internet Time tab, and then click Change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server, select a time server, and then click OK.

G570 - loses time

This laptop sat around unused for the last two years. Now it loses time, overnight it will lose 8-12 hours. I have tried updating bios - which also have the wrong time when this happens. I have uninstalled/reinstalled system CMOS and RTC in Device Manager. I would like to just swap out the CMOS battery, however I cannot find documentation as to the location of this battery. Anyone know where I can get this? Thanks
