Hi, yes I did. Nothing has helped !!

You can set any back dated date year 2007

Start all over using JMaiers post a few pages above with detailed steps.

Love you! Worked a dream. Thought I'd messed up my recent rebuild, but now it's fixed.

This really saved my bacon.. thanks a lot!

This was helpful!

Thanks jmaiers, followed you instructions and it worked a treat.

Hey this was REALLY helpful. I like some others had to switch off the broadband but it worked. Solid advice

Thx, I couldn’t remember how to do this and was just rebuilding my uncles 2009 MacBook Pro. Thx loads

I've had this problem factory restoring my MacBook Air 11" Late 2010. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!

Jmaiers solution worked! Thanks. Worked for me in July 2020. But I had to use a different command to change the date:

Date -u 0615123017

Thank you!!! Super easy.

How do I do that? I cannot access System Preferences to set the date.

The answer below helped with the time change.

You are a life changer! You revived my 7 year old MacBook

The date fix worked for me too! Thanks.
