Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

iPad clock

Ive noticed that the clock never keeps good time. If I wake it it will be a few minutes behind from my iPhone. I have never seen it slower then 6 min. Has anyone else seen this issue?

PowerMac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Gotta guess that "Auto time" means you have a 3g ipad.


There is a discussion here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1140997 that seems to indicate that this may be the source of your problem.


A response there from a ver5 beta tester seems to indicate that it has been addressed in that update.


"15 mins ahead"


??? related to what?


This value would make me suspicious since it is close to your error. At the very least, I would turn it off, set the time, sync and see if it makes a difference.


"Rome, Italy"


Traveling at all? I have also seen confusing times on cell phones when near or after crossing tz's

Hi. Just saw this as i searched, because I had the same problem on my

iPad 1 3G. Was always about 10 minutes ahead.

I just went to cellular data and turned it back to "on". It was "off" because I was not

using the 3G capability.

When I turned cellular data to on, clock immediately adjusted to correct time.

I wanted to see if it would go back to wrong time if I turned cellular data to old

setting of "off", but correct time remained unchained.

Hope this helps someone.
