[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1056248, member: 55814"] i have this same problem and i think i know why it happens.. when you check 'set date & time automatically' i think that once it's powered up it tries to check that web server (or whatever time.apple.com is) via the internet to set the time.. once it fails it isn't sure of itself and sets it to a random date... mine always changes to dec 31 1969, weird. edit: i guess that's not really random at all but once you're connected to the web just open the date & time panel again and it will connect to get info to display the correct time [/QUOTE]
