MacBook Pro clock shows incorrect time

My new MacBook Pro does not display the correct time when set automatically; its an hour behind. When set it manually, incoming emails are timed an hour behind the correct time. The time zone setting is correct (UK). Can anyone help me please?

Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

  • Widget world clock shows incorrect time

    widget world clock shows incorrect time.. how can i fix this?

    There are two possibilities: (1) your computer's time is wrong. Open System Preferences, select the Date & Time tab, and either set the time manually or select a time server. If you choose the time server click on the Time Zone tab and choose your correct time zone. (2) click on the i on the World Clock widget and select a city near you (that's in the same time zone as yours.)

  • Login Window clock shows incorrect time, clock time fixes itself after log in...

    Good Evening,
    This morning I turned on my MacBook Pro and while I was typing my password to log in, I noticed that the time in the login window clock had a wrong setting. The time displayed was 4 hours delayed in relation to my time zone. However, after logging into my user account I looked and the menu bar and when the clock got displayed, the correct time of my time zone appeared.
    I don't know what could have caused this issue. The only thing I know is that yesterday evening, I was using my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 via Bootcamp and used it for a prolonged time (about 5 hours), and then shutdown the computer and did not touch the computer until this morning. Could these issues be related? I know OS X and Windows measure their times differently because the former OS calculates time in relation to UTC and the latter OS calculates the time using the actual zone you have specified in the time settings.
    Other than that the issue has not manifested itself again since this morning but I haven't booted into Windows just yet.
    Thanks for your time!

    Make sure the time and date are correct.
    Open System Preferences > Date & Time then select the Date & Time tab.
    Select:   Set date and time automatically
    Then select the Time Zone tab.
    Select:  Set time zone automatically using current location
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    Click Go then move the coml.apple.systemuiserver.plist file to the Trash.

  • Macbook pro is showing incorrect HD available space

    My Macbook is suddenly running too slow and its showing unrealistic HD available space (screen shot attached). I tried upgrading to Yosemite but that still didn't make it any quicker. Can anyone has any idea about this? Thanks

       Re-index Macintosh HD.
       Do this twice.

  • Login Window Clock shows Incorrect Time

    I've noticed over the last while that the clock in the top right of my log-in window screen is about 20 minutes behind the actual time.  When I login, the desktop clock changes to the right time.  Does anyone know how to adjust the log-in window clock?
    Thanks in advance

  • TS2538 running Windows 7 & Mac OS 10.8.3, and either windows or mac clock shows incorrect time...help!

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • 2 day old Macbook pro 13 in Flashing Time and spotlight icons

    Hi there,
    Just bought a new Macbook pro 13, and the time, spotlight, wireless, sound bluetooth, and everything else in the top right corner of the screen are flashing and the pinwheel/beachball thing shows up when I hover over that area.
    I might have a bad app that is trying to load something into that area. Any help would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    John

  • When I open my Macbook Pro it shows past date

    Hi -
    Sometimes (pretty consistently lately) when I open my Macbook Pro it shows the screen that was there when I closed it, but everything is greyed.  There is a line at the bottom that is moving across and when it finishes the color goes back to normal.  But even then, the time is from when I closed it, and the computer is unresponsive.  It will sometimes sit in this state for a couple of minutes or longer.
    This is a six month old Macbook Pro and this happens pretty regularly, and has off and on since I first got it.
    Is this just no more than annoying?  I've been using Apple laptops since 2005 and never had this happen until this machine (which is my third personal one - I support two others).  Any ideas on cause?
    Thanks
    Craig

    Some users have reported solving this problem by resetting the NVRAM (PRAM.)
    If you've installed something called "iCleanMemory," or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "free up" memory, remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Reboot and test. If there's no change, continue.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS

    My Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS. I thought this might be because I'd used a lot of disk space but I've now reduced that - I'm only using 40 of the 320 gb available. I have no games and I've unchecked the "re-open windows" option on shutdown. The rest of the preformance (once in) remains good.

    41 seconds is actually a little faster then normal. Boot from completely off is normally around 45-50 seconds.
    Your computer never ever came on almost instantaneously from completely off. You are confusing waking up from sleep mode and booting the computer from completely off.

  • Is there a way to restore more than one MacBook Pro at the same time from an image? .

    I restore each MacBook Pro one at a time from an Mountain Lion image on a firewire Hard Drive but each MacBook has to be done one at a time. When I re-image the PC's here at work I'm able to Ghost as many laptops I want simultaneously.
    Thank you

    They are a few different models of the MacBook Pro ranging from 15.4" i7's to 17" i7's. I would use the same models together though when imaging them just like I do with PC's. For example I would Ghost 5 Lenovo T420 Thinkpads at the same time which all share the same exact specs and config. Looking to do the same with the MBP. I have .dmg image of OSX 10.8.1 on a firewire drive which I'm using. I image all my MBP's with this drive, the only downside is I have to do each MBP one at a time.
    Thanks

  • Trying to restore Macbook Pro back up from Time Machine.

    Trying to restore MacBook Pro from backup thru Time Machine. Got message asking "Do you want to replace your current copy of "Desktop" with the one your're restoring? "Desktop is required by OS X. When I select REPLACE, get window stating "Operation can't be completed because the item "Desktop" is in use.  HELP

    I think you are not restoring your files in the correct way.
    If what you want to do is to restore a complete Time Machine backup, you have to do it in OS X Recovery, so first hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Then, choose the option to restore a Time Machine backup, and follow its steps.
    If you want to restore individual files, you cannot restore that type of user files because you are using them. Instead, you can restore individual files in your user folders. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

  • How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

    How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?  It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password.  When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct.  Puzzled!

    I have another question for the community.  My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her.  I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address?  Thanks - 

  • I just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..

    I just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..

    Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
    You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
    Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.
