Aug 31, 4:04 amI'd like to use a clock app with seconds hand and alarm, but find it irritating to see the actual system time within only +/- 59 secs accuracy.
Is there a way to adjust seconds in the system time of an ipad (3.2.1)?
Neither synchronizing with my Mac nor shutting down and restarting the ipad (as I read this should sync to apple.time) aligns the secs.
TIA

Hi
There is no "set"/"ok"/"accept", you can only open or close the time setting pref pane. The internal clock won't start at zero seconds after resetting, but - and that's the workaround I meanwhile found! - as long as the pane is open, the internal clock seems to stop counting. So I first check the mismatch in seconds, open the settings, adjust the minutes, if necessary, and close the settings after let's say 30 secs, if the clock went wrong that much before.> OTOH, isn't there an NTP app? AtomTime or SyncClock or something?
