How do I set the date and time automatically on my Mac ?

Hi there,

I've clicked on and off for "automatically set time and date" in system preferences, but the time inevitably goes back to the incorrect time.

Bought the Mac in 2021.

How do I fix this?

Many thanks!

Did you select a network time server for your location?

Set the date and time automatically on your Mac - Apple Support

If setting time automatically is not working, set the time manually:

Set the date and time manually on your Mac - Apple Support

Make sure your Mac uses the latest version of macOS Sonoma: version 14.5.

Try to set it to your time zone or you can set it manually

I have the same issue & it's not working.

Only possibility I have is to Go to "Time and Date" and deactivate/activate to get it right again.
