How to turn on time / clock display?

When I first had Traktor Pro 3 installed back in April, it used to show the clock / time (as in an actual clock with time of day). This was in the top bar next to the battery / charging indicator. Sometime in the fall this disappeared.. can I get this back?!

Obviously it is very helpful to see the time without needing to use my mouse to show the menu bar at the top of my mac!!

    The update to MacOS Sonoma killed the clock. The timing matches my experience. Too bad. Maybe NI will come out with Sonoma support sometime in 2024?!

    Trying to link to reddit where I found that out, but I'm not allowed to post links. "No clock after update to Sonoma" on the Traktorpro subreddit will get you there.

    My clock was missing too (Macbook M1 Pro running Sonoma) , so I played around with the time/date settings to see if I could fix the problem..

    I've discovered that I can get the clock to appear again by switching on 24-hour time in the Mac settings. What a strange glitch…. Let me know if this fixes it for you too.

    I see it here on mine, although it's on PC - does yours not show anything there ?

    I just checked on Mac (Sonoma) with the latest 3.10.1 build and it's present there as well.

    exactly that is where it USED to be (thank you for the screenshot confirming my memory is not crazy lol)

    And it just.. poof.. disappeared one day in the last few months.

    That's weird - it's showing on my Mac and I can't see any option to turn it off anywhere. I'm on an Intel Mac, but I wouldn't have thought it'd make a difference. I have no controller plugged in either, but again I don't think that should matter. None of which is particularly helpful, sorry!

    I just opened the app and noticed the clock was there for half a second on start-up and then disappears...?!

    According to NI it's already supported so it's probably worth dropping a ticket in to NI support about it. Have you tried the latest beta just in case it fixes it? Traktor Pro Public Beta — Community (native-instruments.com)

    aha! I didn't realize 3.9 or 3.10 came out. I've been on Traktor Pro 3.8 for awhile. Was expecting auto-updates. Downloading now, but that update didn't fix the clock issue. Good to know the app should be more stable generally, though.

    3.11 Beta still has no clock.

    What version of MacOS are you on?

    Do you have a custom screen resolution?

    I use a MBP 14" w/ M1Pro, latest Sonoma 14.2.1, latest Traktor beta release 3.11.044 (RC2) and the clock is showing. I´m on Sonoma since day 1 and I always installed the recent Traktor version (betas and official releases), never had your issue. Clock was always showing.

    I'm on Sonoma, but an Intel based Mac Mini rather than one of the new ones

    Clock was always showing. Sonoma 14.2.1. MacBook Pro M1, Traktor 3.10

    @c0nsul nope! Standard 1440 x 900 px.

    In version 3.8, the clock would flash "0:00" while Traktor was starting up and then disappear.

    With v3.10 and 3.11 it doesn't even flash 0:00.

    Traktor Beta 3.11 .044

    Hardware Overview:

     Model Name: MacBook Air

     Model Identifier: MacBookAir10,1

     Model Number: Z12A000FKLL/A

     Chip: Apple M1

     Total Number of Cores: 8 (4 performance and 4 efficiency)

     Memory: 16 GB

    Nope. Time is not showing after installing Sonoma. Still doesn't show after installing Traktor 3.11.

    I'm convinced that Traktor is left behind in general (no flexible grids, no Tidal integration, and so on). They don't even care to fix minor bugs (like the time display)… Too bad…

    So I finally have confirmation that this is NOW A KNOWN NI BUG

    [Via email support ticket]: "This is a bug introduced with Sonoma. Our team is working on it so it can be fixed on a future release.

    We'll change the ticket status to “Solved” as there is not much we can help with for now. Should you want to check on the fixing status, simply respond to the ticket at your earliest convenience referring to the bug ID and it will activate once more for us to review and get back to you"

    I asked if this is likelye to come out in a future 3.11 release, or not til future versions.. we'll see if they can answer that!

    Hi everyone, I also had that problem with the Traktor clock that disappeared. The solution is very simple, just go and update the time on Mac and Wind (on Mac reconfigure the time zone and update) in Wind it would be the same, problem solved, the clock now appears in the bar.

    This solution seems promising, but unfortunately it didn't work on my Intel MBP running TP4.

    I did try different steps, including: rebooting, changing the time before opening Traktor and when using Traktor, rebooting again… but the clock is still missing.

    Maybe I am missing something? More details (steps and/or screenshots) would be appreciated :)
