Sep 4, 2011 9:22 AM in response to K.S.by Porsche 911 3.2,I've had another fiddle with this, and although the Time and Date Stamps agains the Files and Folders changes, it makes absolutely no difference to the Screen Readout! R.

Sep 4, 2011 10:05 PM in response to Porsche 911 3.2by BDAqua,Just asking, did you reboot after the change... only way the display will read the new form?

Sep 5, 2011 2:53 AM in response to BDAquaby Porsche 911 3.2,Yep ........................... did that! As I said before, the Dates [and Times] against the Folder and File listings change immediately to what I set them, but NOT the Time in the, top / right hand, corner of the screen! R.

Sep 5, 2011 12:41 PM in response to Porsche 911 3.2by BDAqua,Hmmm, maybe you've got a couple of corrupt preference files.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).
reboot
