Hmmm, not sure as mine is spot-on with my MacPro.

I remember seeing a thread or two about folk's time being off on their iPad. I think mine may be off a second or two.

The time gets synchronized with your PC's time when you sync your iPad with iTunes. If your PC's time is off, your iPad will be off.
If you want to have the precise time on your iPad then you'll have to do an internet time syncronization right before you hook up your iPad.

Yes. I had this problem.
The iPad clock syncs to your pc's clock when you connect up. Just make sure your pc's clock is running on time and you'll be fine. I adjusted my pc's clock and all is dandy these days

We should have a app that does it for us, like windows.

What am I failing to understand about this thread? I have an automatic setting...
EDIT - Sorry, I realise now, this is probably a 3G only option...Last edited by f4780y; 06-28-2011 at 04:32 PM.

We all do, but as soon as you connect to iTunes the time is synced to that instead and you must reset those auto settings.

Really? OK. OP said he didn't, hence my question.
My time has always been bang on, no matter what. Never had to touch the settings at all. Go figure.15" MacBookPro with Retina Display 16GB 3.4GHz i7 256GB | iPad4 WiFi 32GB 6.1.2 (evasi0n) | iPad3 4G 64GB 6.1.2 (evasi0n) | iPad2 3G 64GB 5.1.1 (redsn0w) | iPad1 3G 64GB 4.3.3 (jbme) |

I never touched mine either. I never really noticed it, Leigh, except for a thread someone took out stating their clock was off. So I checked mine real quick and it was off by a few minutes, actually.
Never tripped about it since.
