Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.

If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.

Which macOS version is installed?

From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

Which macOS version is the latest?

These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.

If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

Mac Lab Report

Codename neo breaker mac os. - 2004.01.15

The resetting of the Mac's system date to 1/1/1904 has beenexplained before, even on this site - see for example 1/1/2K Just Another Day for Macs, whichexplains that the number of bits in the original Mac dedicated tocounting dates limits the number of individual days that can be counted- and you have to start counting somewhere.

Also, the reason 1904 was selected is explained clearly in an article by GeoffDuncan.

Duncan writes, 'And as for the year 2040 [when the clock onpre-PowerPC Macs runs out. ed], there's an interesting explanationbehind Apple's odd expiration date. The original Mac development teamchose midnight, January 1, 1904, as the start of the Mac calendar - inpart because it's mathematically convenient to have a calendarsystem start on a leap year [boldface mine], which 1900 was not.And since the calendar was built to cover approximately 136 years, yourMac OS won't expire until the start of the year 2040.'

Why is it 'mathematically convenient'? I suspect it is because theformula used to convert the number of days since 'time zero' in 1904does so by counting the number of leap years between the current dateand the 'time zero' date. This is simply a matter of taking the numberof integer years divided by 4, unless you extend dates to before1900 - which would require an if-then branch to add a day back in onthat date since 1900 was not a leap year.

In the early days of computing (unlike today) every byte countedbecause of limited storage space. For the same reasons that ledMicrosoft and many others to use a two-digit year, prompting the wholeY2K issue, Macintosh programmers decided to start on a date thateliminated a tiny bit of code.

Well, that explains everything except for one thing. Why wasn't1900 a leap year? 2000 was a leap year, and if there's a leap yearevery 4 years, shouldn't 1900 have been a leap year.

Coco mac os. Well, that's a different story.

According to timeanddate.com,the leap year rules aren't as simple as most people think. Because theearth's year is not exactly 365.2500 days long, the old Julian calendarrule of 'one leap day every four years' isn't sufficient to keep theearth's position in its orbit approximately constant for the same dateas the years go by. Without leap years, the calendar will graduallyshift until it's snowing in July in Los Angeles.

An error like this actually prompted a shift of several days inmid-month both in 1582 and 1782. One day it was September 2, and thenext September 14. You can imagine the confusion that caused - muchgreater than a date reset on a Macintosh.

Anyway, next time you're working on a dead Mac and someone asks 'Why1904?' you can respond with a relatively simple answer: 'Because therearen't exactly 365 days in a year.'
