Basically, my clck is not displaying anything corrctly at the moment. For some reason, it's saying '5AM', despite the fact it's midnight (GMT), and said 5PM before this. I've tried altering the time format, settings, everything, but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Clock Problem

Greetings, Plusbits...

If you haven't already done so...

Open System Preferences' "Date & Time" "Time Zone" and set "Closest City" to "London..."

Hi Brenda,
I've just tried this now, by altering the city then setting it to London again, but to no avail
Thanks for the advice though

Reset your PRAM and do a Safe Boot. Then try the suggestion above.

It sounds like your settings are corrupted and are being cached.

If that doesn't fix it, download OnyX (freeware maintenance program) and clear out all of your caches. Then reboot.
 
Greetings again, Plusbits...

Apologies for my dyslexically having not digested your given example first time around... but having now done so... I figure your problem may be because you seem to have unnecessarily added the date to the time function... so, suggest you open the System Preference "International" and separately customize first the "Date" format and then the "Time" format... your OS will roll these formats together automatically as required...

I hope this helps...

Ciao, from Cornwall...

Hi Brenda,
Don't worry about it, it's fine! I appreciate the effort. I already tried reverting everything back to default, and it did not work. I've just managed to get the problem sorted, however, by setting the region to UK rather than Custom. Thank you for your advice, however, and thank you to everyone else who took the time to respond
