DesktopsWas off by months - the clock reset to midnight 1st of January - now off by minutes - I had to manually change it so I could use the Internet (it was throwing up certificate errors because the date was wrong).
I've tried selecting set the date/time automatically, allowing mac to use my location etc. but it's not setting the clock to the correctly

Mac OS XLet's check if the time server can be reached from your MBP. Open the Network Utility, select the Ping tab, type time.apple.com in the top field and click on Ping. What result(s) do you get?

1. Select date and time enable date and time automatically : there are four options when you click drop down arrow
Apple.Asia(time.asia.apple.com)
Apple.America/u.s( time.apple.com)
Apple.Asia(time.asia.apple.com)
Apple Europe(time.euro.apple.com) choose the correct option for the country ( the country you belong to must be correct ).
After selecting the option enable the box : set time and date automatically .
Then select time zone : enable set time zone automatically using current location .

Mac OS XBT is British Telecom?
Apparently it should be possible to choose an alternative time server: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080326123203721
You can do a Google search for options.
