I checked it again my location showed up again. In Lion in network prefs I unchecked “http proxy” and got “No current location” as well. This is a pile of inconsistencies: why can’t it locate me but knows the devices are online and even shows battery percentage on each of the devices?Īs one could expect in System Preferences it shows the message “No current location”. It’s expected regarding iPhone since I use it with the other AppleID but on Mavericks it’s able to play sound on my MacBookPro regardless with which AppleID I logged in. When I’m logged into iCloud web-site with my other AppleID it displays message “all devices are online but cannot be located”.
When I’m logged into iCloud web-site with the former AppleID on Lion&HighSierra FindMyMac is able to locate both devices. At first I thought that was the culprit: I logged with the same Apple ID as in Lion&High Sierra – no difference. I use 2 Apple IDs: I share one of them between Lion and High Sierra and the other one I use with Mavericks. Neither I have them in High Sierra, but since most of the time I live in Lion&Mavericks I couldn’t but notice something strange, namely, that Maps couldn’t fetch my position on Mavericks. I still use Lion and never had I problems with location detection.

I have this weird issue since I installed Mavericks 6 months ago (being a Lion hold-out for 4 years and after I maxed out my Mac I decided to install separately both Mavericks that I purchased back when it was a hit and High Sierra). Or ARE they? No one would suspect it! It’s the perfect crime! Which you probably want, right? I’m sure Apple isn’t spying on us through setting our time zones. …or if you don’t have location services enabled at all, your Mac won’t be able to keep your time configured based on your current location. If your checkboxes in there don’t give your Mac the power to set the time zone… If you still can’t get your Mac to display the correct time, though, wander over to System Preferences > Security & Privacy, click the “Privacy” tab, and check the options under Location Services > System Services > Details.
Now, if that doesn’t work, of course you can try a reboot (which I would do anyway to be sure this change persists!).

It should keep the time zone in the right place and update your clock to the correct time. When you’ve done that, then turn the “Set time zone automatically using current location” checkbox back on. When you do so, you can click on the map (or type in the box at the bottom) to find your closest city. Then deselect the “Set time zone automatically using current location” checkbox.

Here’s what’s reliably worked for me: First, revisit the “Time Zone” tab, then click the lock in the lower-left corner and type in your admin password to authorize your changes. Neither does going under the “Date & Time” tab and toggling the “Set date and time automatically” one off and on. What did you want me to do, huh? Take screenshots on client machines? Sheesh.Īt least in my experience, toggling the “Set time zone automatically using current location” checkbox off and on again doesn’t work. Yes, this one is actually correct, since the screenshot’s from my Mac. If users click on the “Time Zone” tab, they’ll find that while the “Set time zone automatically using current location” checkbox is on, the map below it will have them in the wrong zone. Here’s what I’ve been seeing in the Date & Time section with this bug. …or by clicking on the Apple Menu at the upper-left corner of your screen, selecting “System Preferences,” and then picking “Date & Time” from there. If this happens to you, what you’ll start with is going to System Preferences > Date & Time you can do this either by clicking on the clock in your menu bar and choosing “Open Date & Time Preferences”…
The way I’ve been able to fix this is a bit…odd. The lamest time traveler ever, but still. There’s nothing quite like realizing that your Mac has the time an hour behind where it’s supposed to be almost makes you feel like you’re a time traveller. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen a weird issue a few times now: After upgrading to High Sierra from an older version of macOS (or migrating to a new machine from one that was on an old version), some users’ date and time settings haven’t been working properly right off the bat.
