Your Mac has been disconnected from the Internet and shut down or an extended period of time. Typically, the computer should automatically change its clock to your current time zone, but it’s possible that it hasn’t done that yet, hence the wrong time shown by its clock, – If you’ve recently travelled and crossed from one time zone to another, this is the most likely cause for your Mac’s clock being off. You’ve traveled between time zones with your Mac. Here are some likely reasons why your Mac’s clock might be ahead (or behind for that matter): If no matter what you do you are still seeing this message when trying to visit a certain site, then there’s a chance that the site may indeed be potentially unsafe, in which case it may be better to simply not visit it (unless you are certain that there’s no problem with that site). However, we recommend finding the root cause of the issue and fixing it so that the warning stops appearing. In fact, most browsers allow the user to ignore the warning and still visit the site.
Most of the time, this error message doesn’t indicate that there’s anything wrong with the site that you’re attempting to visit.
The reason your browser is telling you that it can’t establish a private connection to the site you are trying to visit when the system’s clock is ahead is that the browser is unable to verify the validity of the site’s certificate and, because of that, the browser doesn’t “know” whether the site is safe or not. There are several likely causes of the Your Clock is Ahead Error on Mac and most of them can easily be fixed. The Your Clock is Ahead Error on Mac computers can sometimes appear when the browser is unable to establish a private connection.
