System clock wrong

[jason77]

just booted up logic or tried to and a window popped up saying system clock wrong. Cant start logic now, tried reinstalling and same thing happened?

 

Utterly bemused!

 

Anyone had the same problem?

If you see the date/time at the top right of your screen, click that and choose "Open Date & TIme...", if you don't, go to the apple menu, choose "System Preferences" and click the Date & Time icon.

 

If you're connected to the internet, check "Set date and time automatically", otherwise set the date and time manually.

thanks for your speedy reply, should have mentioned but had gone down that path already. Seem to have it fixed now by unplugging the exkey then putting it into a different port then changing the port while the error message was up. Thinking its an xkey issue as logic never got passed that point, time and date settings were always correct. Bit strange this, used to this kind of thing on a pc and this is the first issue of this kind I have had on the mac but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, all running fine now though.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Have you tried the XS Key updater?

Hi Everyone!

Im having this problem "System Clock wrong! The system clock on your machine is wrong! Check the time, date, and time zone settings"

The machine: Imac Mac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5 + Logic Pro 7.2.3

I also get the error with a Powerbook with Mac OS X 10.6.8

 

Until now I tried of course checking the time, date and time zone settings. I also tried the XS KEY Updater v1.0 from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL452?locale=en_US

Apparently the key is alright! But I keep getting this error. I need to acces to this old machine to rescue a lot of material that was produced 20 years ago.

 

Thanks for your help!

So what options do you have in Date and Time?

I just plug the dongle and expect logic to start (as it used to do), but then I get this error.

I get that, but what did you do with Date and Time?

Well, that its the actual date and the right time zone. Do you have any suggestion?

[fuzzfilth]

The suggestion is to set Date and Time to an era when Logic 7 was current. That would be roughly 2002 - 2008

Hi, this virtual travel in the past had no effect at all. Any other idea?

[andres_jacome]

Anyone there with another idea?

I vaguely recall this would happen if you hadn't run Logic for a long time - ie the key thinks "Hmm, Logic hasn't been run for 19 years, that seems suspicious, or the clock is wrong".

 

I'd try a few futzing things - switch the computer off, plugin the key in, start the computer, shut down, run Logic etc, to see if the XSkey will update it's internal clock. You could also try experimenting with the time zone, in case you're in a country that didn't exist back when LP7 was current (j/k!).

 

Run Logic, unplug the key, hot plug it back etc. See if it will let you launch Logic again. You could also try setting the clock to roughly when you think you last used Logic too, as something else to try.

 

Note - my XSkey is still going strong and working fine, but I do run Logic 7 a few times a year on average...
