Greetings Karl Pfeiffer (.at),

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like the computer is reading the dates incorrectly. One thing you can do is to make sure Date & Time is set correctly on the Mac Pro. I would recommend you read this article and if the Date & Time are set to automatic, try using manual, and if manual try automatic.


  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Date & Time.

  2. Click Date & Time, then set the date and time automatically or manually.

    • Automatically: Select “Set date and time automatically,” then choose the network time server for your region.

    • Manually: Deselect “Set date and time automatically,” click today’s date on the calendar, drag the clock’s hands to show the correct time (or enter the time), then click Save.

macOS Sierra: Set the date and time on your Mac


Take care.
