Q: Timestamp on files

On all of my files and messages and everything else except for my clock in the upper right hand corner states that it is 7 something in the evening. Has anyone had a problem with this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    Hey Deereboy4320,

     

    I haven't seen that issue but it sounds like what is described in this article.

     

    If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support

     When the date and time format is set incorrectly, it might still look correct in the analog clock and calendar displayed in the Date & Time pane of System Preferences, but you might see the wrong date or time in places like these:

    • The Date Modified, Date Created, or Last Opened values of files displayed in the Finder
    • The dates of messages in Mail
    • Dates or times displayed in Calendar
    • Other apps that display dates or times.

    It further goes into steps to resolve it.

    To determine if you are seeing incorrect dates or times because of a custom date or time format use these steps:

    OS X Yosemite and Mavericks

     

    1. Open System Preferences.
    2. From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    3. Click the Advanced button.
    4. Click the Dates tab.
    5. Click the Restore Defaults button.
    6. Click the Times tab.
    7. Click the Restore Defaults button.
    8. Click OK.
    9. Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    10. Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.

    Take care,

    Nubz

    This describes my problem perfectly but the troubleshooting steps did not help. I already had all the defaults in place. I deleted some of them and clicked "Restore defaults" but it didn't do anything. Any other thoughts?
