yes thank for your advise .Already done

Thank you for your awsers .
As I told you before  I chopped  my originally sketch  so it is more easy to understand my problem
Originally this sketch is an egg incubbator  and timer needed for egg spinning

my code is  redused to minimal so you can understand what I need.

so my code needs to be like this ?

Code:

#include <Time.h>
#include <TimeAlarms.h>
#include <Stepper.h>
     
      int  MYType;
      int resetPin = A2;
      int addHourPin = A3; 
      int addMinPin = A4;
     
    int ID ;
    int ID2 ;
   
    const int stepsPerRevolution = 48; 
    Stepper stepper(stepsPerRevolution, 8, 9, 10, 11);
     
   
void setup(){
                 
                  stepper.setSpeed(150);
                   setTime(0,0,0,1,1,11);
      ID = Alarm.timerOnce(60, spinning);
      ID2=Alarm.timerRepeat(3600, spinning);
      //           Alarm.timerOnce(60, spinning);  //step motor spins 60 sec after boot
      //           Alarm.timerRepeat(3600, spinning);  //step motor spins after an hour
         }
 
void loop(){
 
             RANDOM COMMANDS ;

 /*=========== GENERAL reset pin. Everithing resets to zero when presed=============*/
 
             if(digitalRead(resetPin) == HIGH){
                                      Resetingeverithing ();
//command to turn off Alarm.timers
disable(ID);
disable(ID2);
                                       setTime(0,0,0,1,1,11);  //at this point  Alarms are trigered always
//command to turn on Alarm.timers
enable(ID);
enable(ID2);
                     }//end of reset
         }  //END of LOOP

void Resetingeverithing () {
 
                     Alarm.delay (2000);
                     lcd.clear();
                     lcd.print("timer will be set back to zero");
                     //going back to loop
         }
                     
void spinning (){
                           stepper.step(100);
         }

because  it gives me  this

Code:

sketch_feb21a:41: error: 'disable' was not declared in this scope
sketch_feb21a:45: error: 'enable' was not declared in this scope

In this sketch I need to add a command  ,so I can stop  TimeAlarm  triger  spinning()  every time i reset timer  (or I add hours with a seccond button).
I need spinning triggered  60 sec after turn on or reset  and after that ,every hour.
thank you

adjustTime(10);  
number "10" is in seconds.
Thank you for your answers

Sadly, the documentation provides NO help.  Basically it says "use this function to adjust the time".  The Playground article also shows no examples that include adjustTime(). 

I am trying to find exambles of that command  for 3 days.
I feal like retarded

Is posible to give me a practical exable for adding  1 minute or 1 hour  please ?
only the command
Thank you

How is "adjustTime(adjustment);" command used ?

I want to  send a command to my program ,so an hour or a day is added to timer.
Later those commands will be sent by the press of a button

Is this command ok ? adjustTime(hour()++);

Code:

#include <Time.h>  


void setup()  {
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  Serial.println("sending time to arduino");
  setTime(0,0,0,1,1,2000);
}

void loop(){
digitalClockDisplay();
delay(1000);
}

void digitalClockDisplay(){
 
  Serial.print(day());
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(hour());
  printDigits(minute());
  printDigits(second());
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(day());
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(month());
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(year());
  Serial.println();
}

void printDigits(int digits){
   Serial.print(":");
  if(digits < 10)
    Serial.print('0');
  Serial.print(digits);
}

thank you for your answers . they were enlinghtening

what is the meaning of those commands  in SerialTime example ?

Code:

#define TIME_MSG_LEN  11   // time sync to PC is HEADER followed by unix time_t as ten ascii digits
#define TIME_HEADER  'T'   // Header tag for serial time sync message
#define TIME_REQUEST  7    // ASCII bell character requests a time sync message
.....
time_t requestSync()
{
  Serial.print(TIME_REQUEST); 
 return 0; // the time will be sent later in response to serial mesg

Where can I read about those commands ?
 I google them  and  only the SerialTime example came up
I read  time  filefolder  and I can't find anithing about those commands (with capital letters like:TIME_MSG_LEN)

This is what I made 1 year ago .But to succeeded  I changed time  libraries  . Now with a fresh version of arduino ,this cod doesn't run . I lost my changed time library and I cant remember the changes that I have made
In this program a counter starts from zero. you can add hours and mins  by pressing pins or you can erase timer.
Also there is a backup ,every hour, in case of power loss.

Code:

#include <DateTime.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>
/* LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
 * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
 * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
 * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
 * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
 * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
 * LCD R/W pin to ground
 * 10K resistor:
 * ends to +5V and ground
 * wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)./. */
 
    int resetPin = 10; // pin 10 resets the time
    int addHourPin = 9;
    int addMinPin = 8;

    int eepromTime = 0;
    int eepromDay = 0;
    LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2);//create object to control an LCD

void setup(){
 
       lcd.begin(16, 4);  // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows
       digitalWrite(resetPin,HIGH);  // this line enables pull-up
       digitalWrite(addHourPin,HIGH);// this line enables pull-up

       pinMode(13,OUTPUT);          // we flash the LED each second

 lcd.print("  ");
 
 digitalWrite(13, LOW);           //light the LED every second
 delay (10);
 digitalWrite(13, HIGH);                 //
}

I need a counter ,for time elapsed from zero point (reset)  but this timer must count for days.
it will show to display "day 2 :00:01:03"  and thiw will mean that its elapsed 2 days and 1 min 3 sec from the time I pressed reset button.

My only question is how can I start this timer on mega8

Thank you

for those who still wonder :    stepper.freeMotor();

That is my idea also..I am thinking that I should turn all pins of arduino to  LOW state, after every loop.
Das Anyone know the command of setting pins to LOW from the Stepper library ?
I tried  motor_pin_1=0 motor_pin_2=0 ...etc  but compiller sent error as unknown item
