Mac OS X(86): Time Synchronization with Windows Dual Boot

Mac OS X(86): Time Synchronization with Windows Dual Boot

Description: There is a minor problem on native installs of Mac OS X and Mac OSx86 Tiger and Leopard where after booting OS X, if you boot Windows your time is completely out of sync. This article describes how to fix these problems **********  As you read in the description, this annoying problem is due to the fact that OS X syncs time differently from Windows and it causes things to get confusing. Before doing any of these fixes, go into OS X, manually set the time and the correct time zone. Then boot into Windows, and set the time correct and proceed. Here are a few fixes for this annoying issue that will hopefully fix this: Easy Installer Method (Best solution - Permanent fix) Download the installer ZIP made by Zephyroth here Unzip and run the installer package on Mac OS X Reboot Mac OS X and the time difference issue should be gone AppleTime.exe method Download the AppleTime package from here Extract all the files to a temporary location Move the AppleTime.exe file to the root of C:  (You have to move it to C:) Run the included appletime.reg registry script Reboot, and your time should automatically reset back to the right time Timesync.bat method for ethernet modems and routers Use this method if you have an always on ethernet modem and router  Download the Timesync.bat package here  Extract all the files to a temporary location Move the timesync.bat file to the root of C: (You have to move it to C:) Run the included timesync.bat registry script Reboot, and your time should automatically reset back to the right time Timesync.bat method for USB modems and routers Use this method if you have a USB modem or router that is not always on Download the Timesync.bat with delay package here Extract all the files to a temporary location Move the DelayRun.exe, delayrun.ini, and timesync.bat files to the root of C: (You have to move it to C:) Run the included timesync.bat registry script Reboot, and your time should automatically reset back to the right time Registry edit method In Windows go to the start menu >> Run >> type in regedit >> OK to open the registry editor Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ Set the RealTimeIsUniversal value to 1 (right click on it, Modify, set data to 1, OK) Reboot and your time should stay correct GMT Workaround Go into BIOS and make sure time is correct Go into OS X and go to the Date & Time preferences panel >> Time Zone/Location Click on the locations one by one and see which one gives you the correct time without manually adjusting it Select that location and save Your time will be correct now, but your time zone and location will be incorrect and you will have to reset this during daylight saving time changes

every time I boot Lion I have to wait approximately 10 minutes for my USB keyboard and mouse to function

I have exactly problem and have two mice, I will try later the trick

For this problem, ignore my signature. I am working with MB=ASUS P5Q Pro, 3.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, GeForce 9500 GT 512MB DDR2, 6gb Ram, 1TB HD

I was able to get Lion GM installed. However, every time I boot I have to wait approximately 10 minutes for my USB keyboard and mouse to function. My mouse will move but I cannot click on anything. In searching in the logs, I found that as soon as I get control of my peripherals, this notice occurs: Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet.

I have tried so many things, but at this point I am open to anything even if I have already tried it.

I ran into this, too... do you use SteerMouse and/or a Logitech mouse? Here, from another unnamed forum, is a post I made today:

---------
OK, just spent some time troubleshooting an odd problem I have had since I installed OS X Lion. The symptoms:

* When I boot, 

* If set to boot to desktop, gets there but the mouse and
keyboard do not seem to work for about 10 minutes - except
the mouse pointer will move. No clicks or button presses
work, though. Then all is fine.

* If set to go to login screen, gets there and does the same
thing - then once I can log in all is fine.

* Does the same thing if I boot with Option and then go to
the Recovery "drive"

After the 10 minutes, though, all seems fine. After much troubleshooting, this is what I found (with the help of a *wonderful* Apple tech):

First: I use a Logitech MX518 (8 button mouse) with a third party driver (SteerMouse). I also have an Apple mouse and a Logitech 3 button mouse with the label missing - I just looked at the Logitech site and did not see it listed there any more. So be it: I will just call it the Logitech 3B. 

The above symptoms happen under the following conditions:

* SteerMouse installed: if the Logitech MX518 or the Logitech
3B attached. Either way, 10 minute delay. All is fine with
the Apple mouse.

* SteerMouse *not* installed: if the Logitech MX518 is
attached but *not* if the Logitech 3B is attached (or the
Apple mouse)

My guess: Apple made changes to the way input devices work with Lion (clearly they added gestures and the like). I wonder how long until others start reporting similar oddities - and how long until Apple corrects this.
