guido420 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hello All: I have a situation where my system gains time every time it goes to sleep and wakes up. I hate having to set it to GMT since I am on PST (-8 GMT). It is a single boot system, 100% OSX86...no dual boot to XP or anything else. Config is as follows: Celeron D 3.06 (Socket478) 1GB Dual Channel PC3200 ASRock P4Dual 120GB Maxtor SATA Sony 8X DVD-RW OSX86, Generic Installer Patch, and Maxxus 5c patch after install. I followed MAC Girl's advice on the GMT thing, but WTF...I am not dual booting. Any ideas? BTW: If I use a different OS it doesn't do it. Thanks in advance.

macgirl Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yeah GMT is on if you got dual boot. Did you try "Set date & time automatically:" ? I saw that Mac OS X x86 has some errors with RTC (Real Time Clock). In my PowerBook I never had an Issue of time changing, and I ever close the Lid so it sleeps I almost never shutdown.

It is weird. If it was losing time in all OS configs...piece of cake the battery. This....geez my hair is thin enough as it is.... Thanks though. Other than that.....Awesome OS. Looking at getting a MAC mini soon. Just to have a real Mac on hand. May even grab an older G4 too.
