Not able to set my timezone automatically for Date and Time

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set my timezone by enabling the checkbox for option as "set time zone automatically using current location" but getting error as "Unable to determine current location at this time".

I have make sure of the following prerequisite:

1.My Mac is connected with internet.

2.i have unlock the lock icon in the bottom.

Still i am not able to set my timezone with automatically select option.for manually selection for my location i.e Gaya (India) timezone is not coming.

Please provide your assistance for the above issue.

Thanks

It will use all that it can see, not just the connected network. And, all of them that you see in the Wi-Fi menu would not be known.

Is Location Services enable in the Security & Privacy System Preferences?

Your Mac probably can’t determine your location. It uses the location of nearby Wi-Fi access points to triangulate the location. If the access points it can see are not in Apple’s database, it won’t be able to find your location. Wi-Fi must be on, but you don’t have to be connected to anything.

Then it doesn’t know where your nearby Wi-Fi access points are located, so you can’t use any location-dependent features.

With the west coast of California selected on the map it's never going to find India.

Sorry. I misread something you said. Are you running a VPN, Firewall, etc.?
