MacBook Pro Screenshot Time WRONG

Can someone tell me how to correct this?


The date and time of my system is correct and I even tried turning it on manually and then automatically to get it to reset the date/time but still whenever I take a screenshot the file name on my desktop has some bizarre time on it. When selecting "get info" the file itself has the correct time but the file name does not.

Can someone help me with this?

MacBook Pro, iOS 10.1

When others reported problems like this, they were fixed in a very unusual way.


The problem was in date&time formatting, but was fixed using the Languages&Region panel.


System Preferences > Languages&Region ...

Chose a Region that is not your own (e.g. if in Europe, choose UnitedStates, if in US choose a county in Europe).

Close the window and save changes.

Re-Open the window and choose your correct home settings.

Close the window and save changes.


Now test (e.g. take a screenshot) and see if that fixes it.
