I don't know what the algorithm is that is used (anyone know?), but one would think that right after login would be a logical time to sync the clock, if the option is checked. I've personally watched and waited, and have seen some systems go several hours before correcting the clock. This is even with the 'set date and time automatically' option checked in System Prefs. It does not address the reverse situation of booting BACK into OSX from Vista.Ģ) In theory, if OS X checked the internet time right after login, there would be no issue, but I found on every system I use that even after login, OS X does NOT automatically check the internet and reset the clock back to correct time. 1) Bootcamp utility AppleTime only solves the issue of booting from OSX into Vista. I've seen some incorrect information regards this issue and would like to clarify. Obviously, you must be online for the time-synch operation to succeed. You can quit Lingon at this point - that ntpdate command should be issued as root the next time you reboot, which will cause an immediate re-synch of the of the system's date & time against Apple's time servers.

If you successfully authenticated yourself, you should now be looking at the 'User Daemons' tab, with your new entry (identified by the label you provided) marked as Loaded (prefixed by green little play-like icon).

At this point, you should be prompted to authenticate as an admin user.In the ' Job' field, type ' /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u' and click ' Create'.Check ' Must be run as root' (this checkbox will be enabled when you un-select the one above).Uncheck the ' Launch only when I log in' checkbox.In the ' Label' field, type in a name for this task, using reverse-domain naming (e.g.

Make sure that ' Run a job at startup' radio button is selected and click ' Next'.

Click the toolbar's ' Assistant' button (bow-tie icon).

Copy the Lingon application to your /Applications folder.
