date time issue (set backwards)

I need help 🙏


I keep trying to set my date/time automatically and it keeps reverting back to December 2021 with the wrong time!


location is enabled and located correctly and the mac is connected to the internet no issue there.


Also, the software is up to date

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi A_a0,


Sorry to hear that you're having issues with setting the time and date on your Mac.


To start, have you read:

If the date or time is wrong on your Mac - Apple Support?


Does the issue persists in Safe Mode:

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support?


Also, have you tried to set the time and date manually:

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


Could you also let us know what year your Mac is?


Thanks!


Cheers,


Jack
