I've had my new Mac Pro 3.2 for one week now and I just noticed yesterday that the clock is exactly 10 minutes fast. I also have a Mac Book Pro and the time on that is correct. Both have the same software and all updates installed. Both are set to PST for the timezone. Both set date & time automatically using time.apple.com. (I've even tried changing the time server to asia and europe with no effect.) I'd like to believe it's so screaming fast that it's warped ten minutes into the future, but it's a tad annoying trying to sync files with my laptop and iDisk.
i bought my new MacBook Air last week and unboxed it today.
First problem I noted is that the clock time is 5 minutes fast. I don't know why.
I clicked "Set date and time automatically" (tried different servers), as well as having clicked "Set time zone automatically using current location". Still, the clock is precisely 5 minutes fast than it should be. The laptop IS connected to the internet and I have re-started it a couple of times. Still, 5 minutes fast.
Why is that the case? And how can it be resolved? (I would prefer not to manually reset the time).
(I am not transferring any files to this computer until the time issue is resolved because of concerns over time stamp).
Info: MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I have 3 Macs and yet my iMac clock is 3 minutes faster than my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air. They all are connected to the internet when they are turned on and all are Intel processors.
I just bought a new Kingston snvp325-s2 and its really fast, but only after startup. It takes just under two minutes for the thing to startup and shutdown is about 45 seconds. Now my stock 5400 mac HD was faster... But I have to say the Read/Write times are fine and apps open in a second.
Can the Mac mini with 4GB of RAM run VMFusion 2.02 with Windows XP Home properly without any problems? Is 2.0GHz fast enough, or even 2.26GHz fast enough for VMFusion? Does the Mac mini have enough horse power to run Windows XP?
My G5 iMac, PowerPC processor has been purring along happily on MacOS Tiger for years. To synch it with an iPad, I had to move to Leopard (10.5.8)Everything works fine, except the clock: after every start, it loses the hours (but the minutes are fine). Of course, I checked for upgrades and ran the authorizations check.
Has anyone else had their clock freeze up on them in Leopard? It's only happened twice, and I'm not sure what triggered it (my guess would be coming back from a screensaver or from sleep) but the clock will be stuck on a certain time, if I mouseover it, I get the beachball. All other aspects of the OS and programs run fine while this is happening. I noticed iCal was still giving the date of the frozen time the clock was display when closed, but displayed the right date when i opened iCal.
a known issue with boot camp is the clock's time getting off. When coming back into OS X, eventually it gets set back right. how to get it to sync the clock with the internet faster?
I'm looking for an alarm clock that I can use to set the time.. not lookin for anythin fancy.. i just need an alarm to go off maybe every 4 hours so i wuold rather have a free option but i do want to see whats out there! so all suggestions r fine
Does anyone know if GeekTool (or any other similar tools) can be used to bring up an analog clock on the desktop? Especially with a custom-designed clockface?
I installed Everest on my MacBook Pro. It shows me, that the CPU clock is not 3066MHz (standard) but it changes very often. Sometimes I have 1500MHz, 1800MHz (...) or another CPU Multiplier. The same with the front side bus. Is this normal? I don't think, that the Core 2 Duo have TurboBoost or so?
If I drain my battery all the way down then power up my system, the clock will reset back to 2001 and my power management settings will reset as well. I expected that my macbook air would have a little battery to keep all this information even if the battery power runs out, but either mine is broken or this is normal for the mba. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this normal or is mine broken?
I have a 3 year old Powerbook G4. I just recently replaced the battery (with an Apple one).
Starting last week I keep getting the "the system clock is set before March 21, 2001" message every time I start the computer up.
I am also having a problem where...when I close my computer (still on) it'll shut down completely (after a bit of time). If the computer is open and the battery runs out, it'll also shut down.
I bought my Macbook from the US, but now I've returned to my country and since then ,I think, when I'm not connected to the Inet the clock is way off.
In the PC's the system clock can be easily changed in the BIOS and if I don't have Internet the clock is currect. +- a few seconds aren't that big of a difference.
And here is an example:
I put my laptop to sleep. Go to school, but there is no WiFi, It's ,let's say, 12:34PM. The clock in Mac OSX, Windows 7 shows 10:15 AM. (The times are for example). As soon as I go online, the clocks are adjusted via [URL] or [URL] depending on the OS. And the clock shows the currect time of ,in this example, 12:34 PM.
Is it possible to set the time zone/clock in the EFI boot system similar to the BIOS in the PCs?
I'm currently using rEFIt as boot manager and there there is a Shell console.
For some reason my clock changes it's time on Windows and Mac every once in a while. I don't know if it's Bootcamp or VMwareFusion causing this, but for some reason it's happening.
I apologize if I missed a similar problem, but i think this is an unusual thing. Ok, so occasionally after my uMBP has been on a while (say, 1.5+ days?) sometimes when doing little more than doing a little web browsing, I'll see in both Activity Monitor and iStats that i'm using about 60-70% of my processor, but there is no visible process that is taking up the CPU. the issue is temporarily resolved by logging out or restarting. Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried running what available malware scanners there are for the mac, but nothing has come up.
Are there any producers or audio engineers out there who have an opinion on which of the new Mac Pros would be best for a DAW using Pro Tools LE? I'm not able to find much information on whether having more cores or a higher clock speed is beneficial.
My OS X (10.5.6) gave me what appeared to be the blue screen of death today... mid-task it went blue, then rebooted. I noticed that the menubar clock in the top-right corner was missing, as were most of the other icons normally visible up there. I went to System Preferences/Date & Time/Clock, and noticed that the 'Show date and time in menu bar' option was deselected, so I re-selected it but the clock did not appear immediately, like it should. The setting refuses to stick; every time I exit out of Prefs, it deselects itself.
I'm running 10.1 on G4 450 DP. Every once and a while the clock will reset itself to some arbitrary time of day, but best of all the date will reset to December 1969. This is embarassing when you send email.
I would like to use the 24 hour clock and not have to work about the extra step of AM or PM. Can I set a preference to use the 24 hour clock with Reminders? I can set it with my clock display on the computer but I do not know who to correct with the supporting apps.
Info: MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
My alarm clock broke yesterday, and I figured it'd be cool to just use my Macbook as one. Does anyone know of a good free alarm program that also displays the time on screen?
For the last day or so on my mac mini some of my widgets are dead. Like the clock shows the wrong time and am and not pm. The calendar is a day off. Though some are working like istat pro and and a couple of others.
