Strange thing happen turning lap top back on.

I shut down my MacBook Pro this morning and when I went home to lunch I started it back up and it was telling me my date was wrong and to reset it. It was showing a date in 2008😱 also I did not have any WiFi connection.

Any body experience this?

I've heard reports of macs turning themselves on and doing photoshop...looks like time to call ghostbusters.AGAIN.

No ideas anybody?

it's really common; i've seen people getting a warning with '1969' showing as the year...

try resetting the PRAM (command-option-P-R) on startup; wait for THREE chimes.

then, go to your date & time, and make sure it's set to "set time automatically'.

I have had multiple instances of my iMac and Mac Pro resetting the time when I have turned them off. Not really bothered by it as I have my iPhone always beside me.
