SomniusX Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 i've search the forums with "time" "problem" and other keywords and i didn't find anything.. so I'm having a problem with my system.. i'm dual-booting xp and leopard 10.5.0 using the bios disk selection and not any bootloader.. cause it's the best way! i've got the current time on the xp disk plus bios but leopard goes 2 hours back.. when i change the time on leopard xp disks goes 2 hours back.. i've tried giving the correct time on leopard.. all fine.. but still xp goes 2 hours back.. i've heard from a mac-addict friend that there some kind of fix/patch/configuration for it.. I'd appreciate any help on this cause my wife is giving me a headache for it.. she uses the xp disk and i leo.. Thanx in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79127-loss-of-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXcalibUr88 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 not really sure about the patch but have you tried checking date and time.. there is a checkbox there that automatically changes your time from apple time.

SticMAC™ Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Just switch ONe of them off (either in Apple or XP) not really sure about the patch but have you tried checking date and time.. there is a checkbox there that automatically changes your time from apple time.

SomniusX Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Even with automatic time service on on either on system or another.. it still changes the time.. cause in the case of leopard.. it takes the time from apple server.. and stores it.. that changes the time for the system and then windows are 2 hours back.. when you change the time by the m$ time servers it changes the time to the correct one and then leopard has it 2 hours back.. it's a matter of gmt+2 (Greece).. is there a way to tell the leopard that i'm gmt+2 and not local time? or at least something like that?

SomniusX Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Is it something to do with the damn settings.. must i say to xp disk to stop changing time by changing the timezone or something?? Or there is a way to say to leopard that i'm at gmt+2.. but leopard goes to hours forth not back.. hm.. i'm very pissed! arg# Those damn xp does this.. and my wife that doesn't wont me to play with her disk (heh) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79127-loss-of-time/#findComment-566396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
attempts Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 this prolly has some sort of negative ramifications and is a bad idea, but what i do is: in leopard i find a time zone that whose time would be mine locally. if you're eastern time (us), you could set leopard's time zone as zurich switzerland, just be sure to turn automatic time update in leo off. i dunno how this works with iCal or anything, but for keeping time it's good for me. also, instead of using bios disk selection to dual boot, it may be a little easier to get a file called 'tboot' and put in c:\ and modify your boot.ini to say [boot loader] timeout=0 default=c:\tboot [operating systems] c:\tboot="Mac OSX Leopard" and have an entry for your xp. i saw this somewhere on this forum and it works great for multiboot with vista as default boot drive. i dunno how it would do with dual boot. but it's quick and one click! anyways, hope this helps!

Megamixman Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 There is a program that apple included with bootcamp to fix this problem, but i forget what it is called. IT basically runs itself on startup and shutdown and changes the time so that both are in sync.

rob356 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 It is most definitly NOT safe, and it is also stupid and illogical. as another member once said Emulating BIOS, on and Emulated EFI system, on a BIOS is...Not smart So why would you want to? Just dual boot it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79127-loss-of-time/#findComment-575577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_stick Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 the reason OSX is showing the wrong time is that it takes the system time(bios) as GMT, and then adds/subtracts time depending on your location to calculate the local time, where as windows sees the system time as the local time setting OSX to GMT will let windows and OS X stay in sync if you need to keep OSX set correctly, just change the time zone in windows to offset the difference Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79127-loss-of-time/#findComment-633815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajindia Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Because mac thinks rtc in MB is GMT depends on your timezone settings (you set in your mac) increases or decreases time in OS X interface.i think you live in the area which has two hours dif from gmt. a simple fix to this is to tell XP / VISTA to take the same policy. Just add value to the registery Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation] "RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001 If you find how to then please download this reg fixtimefix.reg.zip do it in xp /vista Thankyou Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79127-loss-of-time/#findComment-634282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
