Big Sur dynamic wallpaper

Hi,


I have a problem that I have a selected dynamic background of Big Sur, but I didn't even have a night background (at night) once. I've already tried to switch it but nothing helped. I tried it for Catalina Background, but it wasn't dark at night ...


Screenshots - night time in Top-Right border:


Can you please help?


Thanks.

Hello Mário142,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. From your post, it sounds like you are expecting a night time background of some kind when using a Dynamic desktop. We'll do what we can to help.


First, make sure the desktop is set to 'Dynamic' in System Preferences: Change Desktop preferences on Mac


If it is set to Dynamic, just remember it's based on your location (or the location the Mac is set to). Verify those settings to be sure it will change at night when it's supposed to: Change Language & Region General preferences on Mac


Take care.

Mário142,


Now that we've narrowed it down to time, try changing the same settings while the Mac is in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac


If you're still seeing the same issue in safe mode, back up then reinstall macOS: How to reinstall macOS


If you're still seeing the same issues after the reinstall, reach out to Apple Support directly: Get Support


Enjoy.

Hi,


I have everything set correctly when initial problem.


I tried to change the location and time. When changing it, it was bugging that when I moved forwards and backwards about an hour so once it sets at 0:00 night background, but when I went to 23:00 -> 22:00 -> 21:00 (at 21:00 set the bright sunset background) and then back to 22:00 -> 23:00 -> 0:00, so suddenly at 0:00 was again unchanged background, ie still sunset background at 0:00...This has also become with other combinations of the time adjustments.
