OT: MacBook Air clock getting way ahead

[vav]

Like the title says, every 2-3 days my Mac clock gets ahead easily 15-20 min :confused:

Anyone here can solve it?
Gracias ;)

The update has been causing serious updates for people. I was trying to post the link for the news on it but my internet is having issues. You can googled MacBook update issues and it'll pull it up.

Not sure if yours is update related but the update has been causing serious issues for people.

I don't think its the update. I am still running High Sierra 10.13.6 and as far as I know/remember, have not updated anything lately so ...dunno very confused. Mac forums don't offer much help

Did you check this:

System Preferences --> Date & Time --> Check "Set date and time automatically" --> Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)

^ every 2-3 days ;)

It's how Apple tricks you into thinking the battery life is holding up.

Try setting the time manually and see what happens. My 7+ phone time had to be set manually after an OS update about a year ago--It set itself to Central Time instead of MST. Several of us at work had the same issue and had done the update. Seems like there was another update last summer of fall and it's been ok.

If it progressively gets a head more n more it does not sound like just a setting issue. That just sounds weird .)

Try these two things

Reset SMC: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

Reset NVRAM/PRAM: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063

Either of those can help when things get “odd” on Macs

I’m pretty sure that’s just Apple telling us all we’re a little too slow.

So far this has done the trick. Thanks Tony!

How do you reverse engineer this so I can “leave” early today?
