Hi there! I understand that your Hidden Objects app is stuck on the date December 31, 2025, and it’s not updating to the current date. I’m here to help you figure this out.
To better assist, could you tell me if you have tried changing your Mac’s system date and time settings manually, and whether the date inside the app changes at all when you do so? Also, is this happening consistently every time you launch the app, or did it start happening after a specific update or event?
Meanwhile, here are some steps we can try to address the date issue inside the Hidden Objects app on your Mac (OS X 10.15.7):
1. Check Your Mac’s System Date and Time - Go to the Apple menu (top left) > System Preferences > Date & Time. - Make sure “Set date and time automatically” is checked and that your Mac is connected to the internet to sync properly. - If it’s unchecked, check it and let your Mac update. Then, open the app again and see if the date updates.
2. Force Quit and Relaunch the App - Sometimes the app needs a fresh start to sync date data. - Press Command + Option + Escape, select the Hidden Objects app, and choose “Force Quit.” Then reopen it to check the date.
3. Clear App Cache or Data (if supported) - Some Mac apps store cached data that might affect date display. Look in the app preferences or support documentation to see if you can clear cached files. If unsure, I can guide you through locating app-related files.
4. Check for App Updates - Open the App Store and check if there’s an update available for the Hidden Objects app. Sometimes developers release fixes for date-related bugs. - Given the app’s last updates mentioned as recently as 2025, it’s possible updates can address this problem.
5. Restart Your Mac - A simple restart can clear minor glitches that interfere with app functions.
If none of these work, there’s also a known workaround in some hidden object games where you can change the device date temporarily while the app is open to trick it into updating energy or events. To try: - Open Hidden Objects app and keep it running. - Go to System Preferences > Date & Time and manually set the date to a day after December 31, 2025. - Return to the app and see if the date updates.
If the problem persists, it might be related to an internal app bug or server-side sync issue. In that case, contacting the app’s support at [email protected] would be the best next step for a resolution.
Does this help so far? Let me know if you have tried any of these or if you want more detailed instructions on any step! Are you satisfied with the solution I provided?
