# Fix an Incorrect System Clock

Fix failed trades caused by an incorrect device clock by enabling automatic date and time syncing on macOS or Windows.

If trades keep failing, your computer’s clock may be out of sync with the network. Even a difference of a few minutes can make signed requests appear invalid and cause trades to fail.

Follow the steps below to automatically sync your date and time.

#### 1. macOS: Turn On Automatic Date and Time

1. Open the Apple menu and go to System Settings → General → Date & Time.
2. Turn on Set time and date automatically.
3. If it is already enabled, turn it off and back on to force a fresh sync.

2. Select Adjust date and time.
3. Turn on Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.frontrun.pro/user-guides/fix-an-incorrect-system-clock.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
