I can't get the date and time to work. Every time I set it to the right day and year and hit save it goes back to 1969. Is there anything I can do? The date and time got messed up when the computer ran out of juice. Sorry for posting under this section. I don't know how to move or delete this.

G'day and welcome to the forums monster.

You do not give the version of your mac which makes it a little tough to answer correctly, however it sounds like the PRAM battery has failed.

The date and time is a sure indication of this. Do a Google on replacing the battery in your model.

What model Mac is this? Laptop? Desktop? CPU speed? Which OS is installed.
