OT: OSX Loosing Date and time settings
Hi,
Yesterday and today, when i booted my system, i've got an error message telling me that my date and time were wrong (it was set to 1969). I am wondering what can the the cause of this? Is it a battery on the G5 motherboard? Is it software only? Do i have to worry? Anyone have a clue? system info: G5 dual 2.5 10.4.9, PT 7.4 Thanks! Luc |

Re: OT: OSX Loosing Date and time settings
That's the main reason why you shouldn't have your CPU on a power source that gets switched off when the rest of your gear does - it should only be running the battery when the wall power is cut off. That's usually what causes a motherboard battery to die prematurely, although with an eight-year-old CPU, it was bound to happen eventually.
Unplug your iloks until you know the date is correct!! S..

Buy it online. Radio Shack will charge you 800% for it in the store. They used to best place to get batteries. Not anymore. I only go there for the "I need it now" batteries. Don't even get me started on how they sell soldering irons with tips that are replaceable, but they don't sell the replacement tips. This is their own rebranded product by the way!
