Clock / Date & Time

Downloaded Ventura,

Loads of bugs including my top menu bar clock saying 7.30 pm when it should say 19.30 pm because I have both green buttons in in Clock and Date & Time?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.0

In Settings > Clock > Clock Options… panel, with 24-hr time there is no a.m. or p.m. indicator. If you have Show AM/PM selected and then enable Use a 24-hour clock, it will automatically disable showing AM/PM. That is not a bug.

When I slide that Use a 24-hour time option to on, my menu extras date/time instantly switches to 24-hr time and AM/PM is disabled as it should be.

Do you have Wi-Fi and location services enabled in Privacy & Security. I do and lack the non-24hr date that seems to be clinging to you.

Right, thank you.

As I was saying above this is what I have set:

Perhaps this is probably nothing to do with Ventura -- and everything to do with this Macbook that has been problematic since an overheating issue (given 2 x inspections at the Apple store and passed) and the instability of any OS (Big Sur/Monterey/Ventura), including clean installs and rebuilds with not using time machine, -- because I guess there isn't another solution?

Cheers

Thanks very much, it's sorted!

Yes, I incorrectly mentioned the am/pm in the OP above when referring to 24 hrs clocks.

Wondering, was there a Clock Options setting in Monterey and previous OS's?

What is the difference between the two (Date and Time and Clock) because I thought there was only one place this info is being displayed, namely in the date and time field in the top right menu, and it used to take a few seconds to find and change unlike with Ventura? I find the new Ventura System Preferences much more time consuming to figure out.

(My Ventura is buggy, as was Monterey when I moved from Mojave which I was on before the fan/cooling problems, Level 2 are dealing with it, so I jumped to conclusions.

There is no "Settings > Clock > Clock Options…", however there is a System Settings > Control Center > Clock > Clock Options… and I did mention the AM/PM issue. As well as posting a screen shot.
