 So you bought your Raspberry with a preinstalled sd card, right? - 
ListenpunktIs your raspberry connected to the internet automatically?

ListenpunktDid you perform an update of your system afterwards? Please look at this instruction: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md 
 I installed the raspbian os manually (downloaded the latest Jessi image, flashed it to the sd card and performed the update described above. If I remember correctly I had some trouble with date/time before the updates, after the update everything is fine.
