Date Modified is wrong

Currently when I modify a file it says that the date modified is 30 November 1979.

I have an iMac 2020 with the newest OSX. I zapped the PRAM but it still does it.

Does anybody have this problem to?

My iMac showing wrong date and time despite trying everything Hello, I tried everything that apple support site tells you to do to fix the time and date of my iMac (iMac 2020, Intel Core i5, macOS Sonoma 14.1.1). Nothing works, and I think that setting up time and date manually is a pitfall for a so advanced machine. Only thing that worked was a thread in apple community forum, that is setting up time and date using a command in terminal: sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com Now time and date are fixed. But I want to know: what causes this? How can I prevent this time and date error or is it a bug from MacOS? Thanks in advance for your answers. Best Regards,

MacBook Pro date and time is incorrect My MacBook Pro is showing the date as 9th September and will not allow me to change it. So I can’t get onto many of the web pages I use

Check the date settings. Is your mac showing the correct date?
