How to fix the 2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch "Your Clock is ahead" issue

From the Terminal.app you can see date and time, copy and paste:

date

if you are out of sync

Reaching back to the Apple servers you can sync your time from the Terminal.app copy and paste:

sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com

(note: your psswd will not echo type it in anyway, use the enter\return key to proceed.)

Leroy,

I entered your suggestion and after entering, the terminal asked for my password. I tried entering my computer password, however, the password text doesn't show and it says "sorry, try again." Help

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

As noted above— the psswd in Terminal will never echo on screen type it in anyway...

This is your admin psswd, if you are logged into a Standard user account, use your Admin/user psswd.

All psswds are case sensitive so verify your CAPs lock is not on..

Try again.

I had no issue with the command-line as posted above, ex:

MacBook-Pro ~ % sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com

Password:

+0.222637 +/- 0.102566 time.apple.com 2620:149:a1a:3000::1f2

MacBook-Pro ~ %

from the man page—This <sntp> first appeared in macOS 11.0.

if it does not work for you in your macOS 10.15 then try:

sudo ntpd -q
