Hello, I have systematically a problem with the automatic date and time adjustment. Every time I set “automatic” it returns 09.04.22. Today is 24.06.23… all possible normal hints already tested: different servers, os update, reboot, privacy settings (use of location), etc. Anyone with similar problem or better with solution? Thanks a lot!!!
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
Here is how to fix it for good! Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and turn off set time and date automatically. Go to Macintosh HD in finder (you might have to enable it to show in the sidebar in Finder settings), press command + shift + . in the folder to show hidden folders. Click var>db look for timed folder. To unlock timed folder right click on it to Get info, unlock at the bottom right to make changes, then change Privilege for everyone to Read & Write. In timed folder delete com.apple.timed.plist file. Restart your computer and turn auto time back on and it's fixed! This can happen on any computer not just he Macbook Air.
Open any folder in Finder and keep clicking cmd + Up arrow until you get ti Macintosh HD
I just had this issue and logicallyliving solution has seemed to work for me to fix it
