Date and Time Settings Problem
Hello all, I aam having a little problem with Daylight savings and my time on my computer. Currently in (Hobart) Tasmania, Australia we are observing daylight savings 3 weeks before all other states in Aus observe it and my computers time will not change.. Infact I am unable to specify tthat i live in Hobart, Tas mania -Australia! The closest region I can select in melbourn..
Anyone have any ideas so that I can reslove this annoyance!

<strong>Hmmm seems to me in system preferences ..date/time. Use the little map deal and click to the nearest one.... I saw melbourne, but also you can move it just a little left or right. Give it a try maybe.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah, tnaks, gave it a try! Having no luck! Just seems like tasmania Doesnt exist
hope it helps for now.
There aren't ANY cities for NC, USA on the map -- the closest is about 200 miles away.
<strong>If you have it syncronizing...you may want to shut it off. Then just set the time on your own under date and time. It may be the only way to set it for now and keep it accurate. You may be syncronized and getting bad times that way.

Silly me! The one thing I didnt think of!!! i had network time selected so I could not change the time myself!
Thanks SQUÅSH, Brad for your help!

<strong>Apple put this in the stupidest location. Under 10.1.x, it's in the International pane, in the Time tab. That should do it for you. I just don't understand why they didn't put this in with Date and Time.</strong><hr></blockquote> Thanks for that bauman. You just saved my day

Same problem happened to me, but the other way around. It kept putting my time in 24 hour time even though I prefer 12 hour, and I couldn't find it until someone pointed out to me that it was in International, not Date and Time.
There's a similar issue with iChat, where the default is to not show people's names, only their picture. There is another issue with the MacOS itself where in OS 9, the default is to not collapse windows on a double click (which was automatic in previous versions). And the mouse tracking speed, key repeat rate, and delay until key repeat are always WAY too slow by default, especially the mouse tracking speed. At the maximum setting, it is just barely fast enough.
Funny all these default preferences that Apple sets that are so different from reality.
