Still not known or obvious to many, but less cryptic than a terminal to most: reset the NVRAM (aka PRAM). Hold command-option-P-R keys until you hear the startup chime for a second time.
- cjensen 11y agoDid that. It did not set a date close enough to now to work.
- abrowne 11y agoAh, of course not, since how can the default be set to the current time? I almost always install after booting to a full OS X system on an external hard drive (so NTP syncs the time), either via a downloaded installer or after logging in to the wifi captive portal (since Internet Recovery won't do WPA Enterprise).
- cjensen 11y agoOn Linux and Windows, the NTP update daemon "sanity checks" the new date. It refuses to update the time if the new time is "too far" from the current time. Is the Mac any different on this front?
