If you are a MacBook user, you may need to adjust your date and time settings at some point. Maybe you are traveling to another country or perhaps you just need to update your system clock. Whatever the reason, the process is straightforward and easy to do.

First, navigate over to your desktop and make sure any open programs or applications are closed out or minimized. Then, go to the top finder bar and select the apple icon. From there, select system preferences and choose date and time from the list.

Once you are in the date and time settings, you will need to select the little gear icon to make changes. At this point, you will have to enter in your computer password or user account password and then select unblock.

You can either choose to set the date and time automatically or set it manually. If you want to set it manually, uncheck or unselect the option to set it automatically.

You can also change your time zone in the same way. Once you are done making your changes, simply close out of the settings and select save. Everything updates automatically once you have made your changes.

Overall, this is a straightforward process that should only take a few minutes to complete. Whether you are traveling or just need to update your system clock, adjusting your date and time settings on your MacBook is simple and easy to do.
