Did everyone's computer advance to DST okay?

[Elwood P Dowd]

My Apple went from 1:59 to 3:00 with no problem except I've suddenly become sleepy thinking about the time.

[Kutjara]

1. Still a couple of hours to go here on the left coast.

I downloaded the update on my Mac, so I'm not anticipating any problems. Can't say that for the rest of the clocks in the house.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. I didn't do anything. The Apple just did it own it's own.

I think Tiger was already programmed for the DST change.

[Kutjara]

9. Apple put the DST update for Tiger on Software Update...

...back in January (at least that's when my Mac got it). I don't allow updates to install without my approval, so I can see what's being fixed (yes, I'm geeky as they come), so I noticed when the patch came in.

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. I haven't updated since 10.4.7 last fall.

It must have been in that one too.

[Kutjara]

12. That's interesting.

If it's in there, I wonder why Apple posted it again in January? Maybe they were just trying to get it onto those machines that didn't already have it. I'm on 10.4.8, though, so if it was on 10.4.7, it should surely be on there too.

edit: I just checked Apple's website, and the DST update was posted on Feb 15. Hmmm...

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. According to the Apple support site it was included with 10.4.5 and later

That came from a poster on the Tiger forum.

[Kutjara]

22. Aha!

They must have just been covering all the bases with the Feb update.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. I'll find out soon enough

And if it does not, I can manually adjust it, imagine that

;-)

[Nutmegger]

3. Yes but I miss the hour.

:cry:

[orleans]

25. don't be sad nutmegger.....it will be okay

we'll get it back later this year--just you wait and see!



:hi:

[theoldman]

4. A friend updated my software yesterday so mine advanced

to 3:00 right on schedule. BTW, I had trouble sleeping. That is why I am up at this hour.

[Emit]

5. I don't know. What time is it? n/t

[RB TexLa]

6. Yes it did. It's not an apple and I downloaded nothing to fix anything, how could it have done that

I thought all non-apple computers were supposed to blow up or melt into gel at 2:00.

[ToolTex]

16. Magic!

[Goblinmonger]

50. If you have

automatic updates, microsoft put out an update that you may have downloaded without knowing it. Happened on both my laptops, though I was enough of a geek to check and make sure the patch was in place.

[Alamom]

8. Mine jumped ahead and we did nothing. I have no idea how it knows .n/t

[ClintonTyree]

40. If you're current on your Microsoft updates....

the "fix" was included in one of their security updates. No one knew about it of course, but it was there. Imagine, Microsoft doing something on their own to keep people from having problems. ;)

[alarimer]

60. On one computer, the update didn't work

I had to reset it manually. But the other one was fine. I have no idea why.

[Hardrada]

10. I'm glad there are more daylight hours now since the snow will

now melt more quickly!
:o :o

[Richard Steele]

13. Yup, same here Elwood! nm

[Hissyspit]

14. Nope.

Earthlink. Windows 98. Dell.

Had to reset it myself.

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Yeah, but mine's set to check...

the time every time I go online, and every so often after that.

[silverlib]

18. Mine did well - I hear XP was on top of things this time...n/t

[Amonester]

28. Vista Home Premium here to report no bugs at all. - n/t

[MilesColtrane]

19. Apple computers: They just work.

I'm on my third, (Mac Classic->Performa-> G4) and I'll never willingly use a PC.

[Beelzebud]

24. My PC did just fine...

[Feron]

61. Heh

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=macs_cant

[Raine]

20. No, mine has to be set manually

that's what I always have to do.

[donheld]

21. No it did not advance

Neither did my TV, VCR, or Phone. :mad:

[Beelzebud]

23. Y2K all over again.

In other words; Yes it advanced to DST okay, and I see no societal meltdown. :)

[orleans]

26. the lights stayed on & everthun! n/t

[CarbonDate]

27. No.

But then again, we don't have DST on Guam.

[symbolman]

29. I'm with you

we're in Hawaii, so I woke up my wife, like a dummy, and said, "Gee, don't we have to worry about setting all the clocks and computers?"

She said, 'The only thing we have to worry about is that the real world is going to be another Hour AHEAD of us.." :)

It's a bitch when you stay up all night working on a project for nearly a year, getting only about four hours of sleep a night, sleeping in until Noon here, before I do another 20 hours of awake/work time, and then when I'm just about ready to promote the project, I'll have to worry about getting up at 6 am, or staying up until all hours of the night to even Talk on an 8 am radio show on the east coast.. :)

Such is the price we pay for paradise, eh? :)

I'm still waiting to see if my computer does something wacky...

[jannyk]

30. No - stupid machine!!!! nt

[sakabatou]

31. Yep

[Robeson]

32. Yep, my built from scratch one did just fine...

...:-)

[Papillon]

33. My Mac changed with no problems

But the time on the DU front page changed from 1:59 to 1:00. What's up with that?
:crazy:

[Vidar]

34. Did it by hand.

[Libby2]

35. Yep, mine did.

[RC]

36. Nope. I told my computer to ignore this stupid time change.

My windoze machine stays on CST all the time. It works just fine for a XP machine.
So does every other clock in my home, including my Atomic Clock. I never reset my clocks. I just reset the alarm an hour earlier, which is the reality anyway.
My Linux machine on the other hand, I had to reset back to CST. I could find nothing to tell it to ignore the time change.

[sutz12]

37. RC....do you really have an atomic clock?

Just curious. I used to work in that field.

[RC]

46. That's what it said on the box.

You don't suppose thay'd sell me a fake do ya? It isn't that heavy though.

[patricia92243]

38. Most computer subscribe to a time service that sets automatically. Open your clock and will you wil

you will see the tab.

[ClintonTyree]

39. Yep,

no problem even though I expected one. Microsoft finally did something right. ;)

[DinahMoeHum]

41. No problem here.

n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

42. Yes it did.

I'll check the other newer one later.

[B Calm]

43. Here in Indiana, my computer advanced one hour!!

[all.of.me]

44. my mac and cell phone changed.

i haven't powered up the pc yet.

but it is dark out. it is now 7 a.m. - tomorrow will be interesting, kids getting up for school in the dark again, just like in the dead of winter. my older daughter's bus comes about 7:15, and she is not the first stop on it.

i have built a fire, because it is cold. i have the lights on. i didn't do these things yesterday! are we really going to save energy doing this so early in the season?

[madokie]

45. yep it did and so did my skyscan clock

[marmar]

47. Yes, but without that little musical message it usually gives me when the time changes....

It just went ahead and changed on the down-low. What a bummer! :(

[TroglodyteScholar]

48. Nope...

...and when I tried to manually download the timezone patch yesterday, Microsoft told me it was already installed.

My wife changed the time manually this morning. But I was just curious and went to synch it to time.microsoft.com -- which quickly turned it back to the wrong hour!

How ridiculous is that...

[Feron]

62. I had the same problem.

Everytime I tried to use the time synch in Linux this morning, the hour rolls back. And after trying about six or seven different servers, I gave up.

So I just disabled it and changed the time manually. I'll probably synch up again when the time change traditionally starts.

[City Lights]

49. My Apple did the same thing!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

51. I lied to my machines.

I went in by hand and told my computer it was in San Juan and my iPod that it was in Caracas.

Did I do a bad thing?

[dkofos]

52. My 2 Linux machines were the only one with the correct time this morning.

Did they also neglect to reprogram the satellites?
Neither of my clocks that get time from the sky had the correct time.

[Clark2008]

53. Nope.

I tried to get the patch, but didn't want to download the fucking Service Pack 2 to do it.

I had to manually change it. And will have to manually change it back when it advances when it was originally scheduled.

I tried the Service Pack 2 once and I couldn't go anywhere online and didn't want to spend hours and hours telling it that everything was NOT a demon site. So, I went back in time and deleted the Service Pack 2.

However, considering it only took like, two seconds, I'm not worried about it too much.

[Cerridwen]

54. Not here. Thank you! for the reminder.

Time to go set my clocks. Geez, I'm already behind and I've barely started the day.

:hi:

[librechik]

55. No! Thank goodness I have 2 cases of mac&cheese left from Y2K!

kiddin--worked great, like all little Vaios do!

[meldroc]

56. My Linux boxes always have the correct time.

They're automatically set to get the correct time from the pool.ntp.org time servers, so they're the most accurate clocks in the house.

And yes, they know about the DST change.

My alarm clock, which theoretically should automatically adjust itself for the DST change didn't, so I had to manually set its time zone to one zone over. I'll have to set it again in 3 weeks when it thinks it's time to switch to DST. :mad:

[spanone]

57. computer did, cell phone didn't.

[johnaries]

58. Yep, PC less than a year old, so it had the fix. No problems! nt

[EstimatedProphet]

59. Nope, I had to reset it myself

[havocmom]

63. Mine was correct this morning.

Maybe it set its self or maybe the cat did it after I went to bed early. Might have been OP's pooka.

[havocmom]

64. Hey, my computer time is OK, but my DU time stamp is off

:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

74. I had that same exact problem.

I cleared the page history, cache, cookies, and passcards and that fixed it for DU at least. Hope nothing else screwy shows up.

[peekaloo]

65. No. My aged craptop needed my assistance.

[intheozone]

66. My iMac updated all by itself. Damn, I love this machine! nt

[Individualist]

67. Changed it manually

I have Windows 98.

[Lex]

68. My 5 year old laptop PC was correct this morning. It changed just fine. nt

[michreject]

69. My Mac didn't

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[tibbir]

70. My computer with XP changed just fine.

Of course, I've been automatically keeping it updated. I just checked my laptop and it changed over as well.

[Nikki Stone1]

71. That depends on what time it is now.

What time is it?

[Odin2005]

72. Sprung ahead automatically

I love Windows XP automatic updates.

[Horse with no Name]

73. I have 5 computers in my house

4 are new, one is a couple of years old.
The one running Vista updated. Two of the ones running XP Pro updated and two of the ones running XP Pro did not.
What is weird is that there are two that are identical--and one of those updated and one did not.:shrug:
