OS X :: G5 Won't Restart After OSX Install - Date &Time - Applications Not Loading
Mar 30, 2010
My G5 OSX 10.4 on restart displayed the date&time error message (attached). And yes it was causing my applications to run erratically, such as not loading. After updating the time both manually or automatically, on restart time would revert to 1970 with the error message re-appearing. I erased my hard drive tried to install OSX 10.5.1 1st attempt it was unable to locate my hard drive for install location, it simply paused. 2nd attempt it located drive, but during install white page full of errors appeared. 3rd attempt it appeared to install fine. But again on restart the date time error message appeared, time set to 1970. Updating time didn't help. I upgraded OSX 10.5.1, during install it displayed an Update OSX error message (attached). After this error message I restarted but I can't get past the grey loading screen. If it helps here's what im running:
Model Name:Power Mac G5
Model Identifier:PowerMac7,3
Processor Name:PowerPC G5 (3.0)

I installed Leopard about 3 weeks ago and have been very pleased with it; however, since then every so often and when booting up my G5, it shuts off again. I boot again and a small window appears asking me to reset the date and time. Each time this happens I am able to reset the time and date correctly in System Preferences. The computer is about 3 years old so it may be the internal battery and nothing to do with Leopard. Or, could it be a bug in Leopard?

Every time I try to uncheck the box marked or open the Date and Time preferences, it freezes and have to force quit.

I just finished using time machine to recover my iMac after putting in a new HD. Everything worked perfectly but now the contents of the time machine appear to be gone from before the install date. This is kind of concerning since one never knows whats missing until it's needed.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3), I'm lovin it

So I shut down my computer earlier today for the first time in weeks. I restarted it and then left for a few hours for dinner.
I come home and I look at the last time MobileMe Sync and Time Machine did their things. They say they did them at 7:45. I look at the clock on my cable box and on my iPhone, both say 6:45.
Weird that the MacBook's time is wrong. I go into Time Date settings. I see that when the MacBook does the "Auto locate where you are so that we can set the appropriate time zone, etc. the MacBook things I'm in Rexford, Idaho.
I haven't been to Idaho in about 25 years, and my MacBook has been sitting in Southern Kalifornia for the last one year since I bought it.I've tried to have the MacBook auto-locate again, and it keeps finding me us in Rexford, idaho.

I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on a G4 iBook. Somehow my Time & Date files got corrupted which prevented me from getting on to the internet. When I discovered the problem, I threw them away, thinking a restart would create them again. I was wrong.
Now my computer doesn't know what time or year it is, causing various problems. I don't have back-up 10.5 disks to extract the time & date package.Can I download a replacement anywhere?
Or can someone email the files to me? I don't know what they're called but, if you search time and date, there are only two (and please tell me what folders they're in too)

Starting yesterday, I cannot load Time & Date (either from System Prefs or from the menu bar). I get the beachball and I have to Force Quit System Prefs.
I tried Repairing Permissions and rebooting but it didn't help.I tried deleting .plist entries (as per a related thread on the Internet) and rebooting and that didn't work either.I tried logging off and logging in with another account and the problem is still there.I hope I can get some help because it's driving me nuts. I travel a lot and need to change my time zone. If you need a crash report from me, please tell me how to get it from Console bc I don't know where to look for it!
P.S. I am using old OSX 10.4.11

My date and time resets each time my mac sleeps or is reset or if I open date and time options. It keeps sending emails of my old reminders from 2008/2009 from ical and my to-do list emails me its reminders. This happens every time I open my comp or even just open date and time options. I also get the ical reminder notification that pops up freezes on my screen.

I installed a new 500 GB HD on my 13-inch mid 2010 Macbook Pro (since the original crashed). I successfully connected to the Disk Utility via the internet connection and started recovery from a recent Time Machine backup....but, the computer will not restart. It's been stuck in the grey screen with the Apple logo and rotating status bar all night. I shut it down and restarted, but it won't go past the grey screen state. I can't find any answers on the Support Page. Should I have first installed the Lion OS X first and then restored from the Time Machine backup?
Also, wondering if all my programs (2011 ILife & IWork and Microsoft Office) will be reinstalled with the back up? (I can't find my installation disks for ILife and IWork :-()

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I'd like to insert the Date in the appropriate space on a letter. It seems that I cannot do this without inserting the day of the week and the time. When I look for a way to change this format, it seems that iPages only instructs me on how to change it when I am using the date/time in a cell in a table. How do I do it for a plain old letter?

When I try to open current pages of daily newspapers I am getting out of date pages loading in safari, chrome and firefox. Occasionally the correct page loads. I have tried emptying the cache and resetting to no avail. I am currently staying in a condominium and receiving my connection remotely and wonder if this is part of the problem.

I do video depositions which requires me to place the date and time on my video when the video was shot. Currently I have to ingest my video into a Windows computer and run it through a time stamping program called VTS DV timestamp [URL] This program is awesome other than the fact I have to use Windows. I would like to use nothing by my mac but alas, I have not been able to find a program that works. FCP time code generator does not work like I want it to.

I'm looking for a program where I can enter a date and time and it will calculate the amount of time until that date and display a countdown until that date and time. Does such a program exist? I've googled with not much success.

I can't seem to figure out how to create a chart based on the following info: I have 3 columns: Date, Time & Value Looks like this:
Date Time Value
10/1/09 12:00am 35.5
10/1/09 01:00am 33.4
10/1/09 02:00am 17.5
.
.
10/2/09 12:00am 27.4
10/2/09 01:00am 44.5
10/2/09 02:00am 3.5
.
.
10/31/09 12:00am 56.5
10/31/09 01:00am 15.7
10/31/09 02:00am 10.4
I want to create a chart that shows the highest given value for each day (regardless of which hour it occurred) and another chart with the highest given value by hour. In the above sample the chart would show:
10/01/09 56.7
10/02/09 44.5
10/31/09 56.6
12:00am 56.5
01:00am 44.5
02:00am 17.5
I am able to do this in excel very quickly by using a Pivot Chart, but can't seem to figure this out in Numbers.

Okay, so I am running OSX and Vista on Bootcamp. I have noticed that when I use Windows or just even restart OSX that my date and time changes. Today it changed to March 1, 2000. I am curious as to why this happens. My time zone is fine. I think it has something to do with the Vista configuration.

We got a refurbished Alu MB for an intern and the time is not displaying properly. If I check the "Set date & time automatically", the digital and analog clock is showing different times. See picture. Also, when I go in Time Zone, I set Eastern time, it will set it, but when I go back to preference, it sets back to GMT.
It's running 10.5.6 if that helps.

Just got my up to date disk but it says 'upgrade dvd' - can I use it to do a clean install? (not keen on upgrades!) Also, anyone got a list of what I'd need to copy back over from time machine for all my personal files/documents/emails etc - is it just my home folder?

I've had time machine running for about 10 months. Today I needed to rely on it for the first time to restore a MySQL database I deleted by accident. To my horror the last backup in Time Machine was six months out of date even though I work on this database every day! I've completely lost faith in it and I'm feeling really let down. Is this a common problem? Have I got a setting wrong or is Time Machine just a complete waste of time?

I had long noticed that you cannot put the Date in the menu bar with the time. This has bugged me for a while. So with a quick search I found a way to do this natively.[URL]
I know this isn't necessarily a huge revelation, but in case it was on anyone's mind to achieve this.
