I've just bought an iMac G5 (my first Mac). When using Windows there was an option to sync my computer clock with an internet time server (I usually set it to auto-sync with "time.windows.com" or "msltime.irl.cri.nz"). Is there an equivalent system in Mac OS X to enable me to sync my computer time with an atomic clock via an internet time server? I never thought being a minute or two out would distress me, but suddenly I realise I just don't know the true time anymore :) (Apart from this, I'm finding the Mac experience amazing & regret not having made the switch sooner). luckypingudog at hotmail.com

Open the system preferences. Click on the "date and time" icon (4th row down, 2nd from left) Click on the first tab on the left (labeled date and time). You will see a checkbox that reads "set date and time automatically". Check that baby and enjoy synchronicity. oh yeah...make sure you are connected to the internet ;) I'm not as dumb as I am.

Brilliant - many thanks Dave. I saw that option but had wrongly assumed it related to daylight savings or something else. Cheers. luckypingudog at hotmail.com
