Stander Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi, I installed hackintosh and winxp on the same machine. Each on it's own HDD, everything working perfectly except this weird problem. I can choose to have right time (clock and timezone) in XP or in osx, not both Each system shifts the time about 2-4 hours on the other system. I solved the problem by setting right time & timezone in XP and by playing with the timezones in OSX (10.4.10). That gives me right clock on both systems but now different timezone on osx doesn't look nice... Anyone with same problems ? I came across just one possible thing that might cause this problem... I didn't installed XP on that machine, instead I just used disk image from other PC. Thanx... P.S. Some more silly questions... - any idea on how to enable TV out on nvidia 7950 GT ? (so I can watch movies on home TV) - What is the best movie (xvid + subtitles) player for OSX ? (I'm used to media player classic from PC, VLC for Mac isn't bad but I cannot manually scale picture like MPC and subtitles are jerky when in fullscreen, like it doesn't use fonts as vectors but bitmaps. - I guess there is no solution to Trash Can management on MAC ? No way to delete only choosen files or to delete files directly (not to trash), like on PC ?

Synaesthesia Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 This is normal, I have the same problem. I favour Mac OS X, so I keep that as the correct time. I haven't found a fix yet. - What is the best movie (xvid + subtitles) player for OSX ? (I'm used to media player classic from PC, VLC for Mac isn't bad but I cannot manually scale picture like MPC and subtitles are jerky when in fullscreen, like it doesn't use fonts as vectors but bitmaps. Quicktime 7 Pro (cracked) with Perian 1.0 Plays almost everything really quickly + nicely. Subtitles are supported...

ItMoN Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think the problem is the way the OS's handle the bios. I am still having this problem. (I just adjust it each time I log in to windows.)

jharleman Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 the first option is not an option in leo (10.5). there isn't a rc.local or shutdown in my directory :-( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66207-weird-problemwrong-time-on-winxp-or-osx/#findComment-487006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 That doesn't meant that you can't create one.rc.local is not necessarily by default, that is whay it has the suffix .local so you can put things there. BTW, is not a weird problem, Windows treat the clock of the PC as local time, and Mac OS X treat as UTC.

justinstar77 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 There's a windows program that came with the BootCamp beta called AppleTime.exe that you can just drop in your startup items in xp and it will resync the clock. Here's a link with instructions. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66207-weird-problemwrong-time-on-winxp-or-osx/#findComment-487514 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJMoose Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I use appletime.exe for the XP bootcamp partition of my MacPro and it works fine. On my hackintosh, I'm running Windows XP and I copy the appletime.exe file into my All Users>Start Menu>Programs>Startup directory and then reboot and it also works just fine. When XP starts, as it's going through the startup procedure, when the time first appears, it's off by 4 hours as usual. Within a second or two, it adjusts to the proper time. Since XP is the primary OS on my hackintosh, it is important to me that it shows the accurate time so that all data created bears the proper time stamp format. Prior to copying this file from my Mac several months ago, I just set the OSX timezone ahead by four hours so that my Windows would always appear correctly.

idividebyzero Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Appletime.exe doesnt work for me in Vista, it doesnt really do anything, I double click it and thats all that really happens, me clicking it and it sitting there. Ive long been a proponent of changing the timezone in OS X but the new ichat in Leopard has ruled that option out. It time stamps (in a really annoying way) every single message I get and send with both date and time (since my time zone is so far away that its a different day than the person Im talking to). How do I create the rc.local thing? Is it the same way you create a .bat file in windows (make a text file with the text inside then just rename)?
