System clock will not update - RESOLVED

Hi all...

Lately my Mac clock will not show the current time. I go into System Prefs and change it, but when I go to turn on my Mac a few days later it shows the old date! The date still runs, but it is 2 days old. Any ideas?

2020 iMac/OS 11.6.2/3.3 GHz 6-core Intel i5

Mac battery dead? Probably not.

Time zone incorrect? Hours, not days off would likely result.

No idea, really. :banghead:

Is it possible you have a firewall blocking a network time server?

figured it out....operator error. in system prefs/time, I had 'set date and time automatically' unchecked.
