I want to change my time zone according to my travel location

I bought the Macbook Air for travel, but I'm finding it very difficult to set the time zone of my current location. I did it manually by setting the clock - maybe that's all I can expect. The Touches allow you to set the time by setting the timezone. Google knows I'm in Italy, but the MBA can't figure it out.
Shouldn't a computer set its timezone by its current internet access?

  • HT4576 I wanted to change my time zone to Boston, MA

    I was wondering why my ipad continued to change the calendar events back to NY,NY. I know it sounds silly to some, but I am a Boston sports fan and it agitates me. I don't see any reason why Boston can't stay there. Can someone help please? Thank you.

    Look into Settings, General, Date and time and see how it's set. If you have it set to update automatically that could be the issue. Maybe the iPad thinks you're somewhere you're not. (it gets locations from your router on a wifi version, so if your router thinks it's in New York, the iPad doesn't know any better)
    Try setting it to Boston then turn off the automatic updating and see if that helps.

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

  • How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

    I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
    I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
    Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • Error when changing database time zone

    Hi all,
    I have Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows 2000 Pro. I try to change the time zone of the database using
    ALTER DATABASE SET TIME_ZONE = '+01:00'
    but it fails with error ORA-02231.
    Am I missing something?

    This is an expected behaviour, it's just that the message text was not meaningful.
    Basically if there is a TSLTZ column in the database, user is not allowed to change the database time zone. This is because it will invalid their existing TSLTZ data.
    You should either perform ALTER DATABASE SET TIME ZONE before creating any tables with TSLTZ columns, or drop the TSLTZ columns first before doing the ALTER DB statement.
    According to Bug 2435266, the error message has now been changed to
    ORA-30079: cannot alter database timezone when database has TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns

  • How can I change the time zone while not changing the time

    Let me preface this by saying I know this may seem tiddling to many but it is somthing I am rather obsessive about.
    I took many photos while I was in Los Angeles.  I had changed my camera's clock and the clock in the MacBook Pro to Pacific Standard Time and my iPhone automatically did the same thing. When I loaded photos into Aperture on my MacBook Pro the time information was all correct, all photos tagged in PST.  I had some photos I took on my last day that I did not load into Aperture until I got home to Denver.  When I loaded these images into Aperture they still have the correct time that they were shot but now show as being taken on Mountain Standard Time.  If I change the time zone in Aperture then the image time is also adjusted to be one hour earlier.
    Is there any way I can change the time zone in Aperture while leaving the actual image time alone?

    Hello Mark,
    Aperture will display the "Date created" with respect to the time zone your system is set to, but the "Date" using the time zone the image was taken in.
    You can adjustthe Time Zone for individual images either on import or afterwards using batch change:
    Select the images you want to adjust, then select "Metadata -> Batch Change" from the Aperture Application menu:
    Click: Adjust Time Zone
    Set the Camera's Time Zone to the Time zone you set your camera to when you took the images, and the Actual Time Zone to the zone you want Aperture to use to display the date.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S:
    This works with most cameras, but there seems to be a bug with canon cameras when importing directly from the camera. Frank Caggiano recently started a thread, but right now I cannot find the link.

  • Problem caused with appt times by changing calendar time zone support?

    I've got a 30Gb iPod Touch, version 4.0.2.
    I've always kept the Settings' Date & Time timezone for the correct location, but it was only a while back that I realized that there was also a Time Zone under the Settings, Calendar, and so I changed it so that it was correct (it was previously set to Kabul, AF time, and it was then changed to Ottawa, ON time).
    I'm thinking that this may have messed up all my future appointments, as my appointments have been switched to midnight or somewhere near it, for the day prior to when the appointment was supposed to have been. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this, and didn't see this exact problem occurring for anyone else when I did a search of the discussions.
    Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and what I can do to set it right?

    Hi Cindiii,
    Time zone support has often been a point of contention and confusion for many users. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix at the present time. Do you have any idea as to why you touch was set to Kabul? Did you buy it new? If not, perhaps the last user had it set to this time?
    In any case, Calendar does allow for its own time zone settings. This is to allow the user to create events for his/her home time zone while traveling. Even if your system time zone reflects the current time zone that you are in, appointments added to Cakendar will show up in the time zine that you choose based in the time zone you set in the Calendar settings.
    This definitely sets up conflicts if you are trying to schedule an appointment that is outside of your home time zone. Now that you have switched the time zone in your Calendar settings to your home time zone, there is nothing you can do about the events already created. As I see it, you have only two options:
    1. Change the time zone back to Kabul time and view your events as though they were your local time, or
    2. Leave the time zone in the Calendar settings to your home time zone and either time adjust the events in your head (knowing the time difference), or manually changing them to the correct time one by one.
    I'm sorry this doesn't provide you with a magic solution, but I really don't see any other alternatives.

  • Change the time zone in Java System only

    Hi there,
    Does anyone knows where to change the time zone in Java system only? I know in ABAP they have t-code: STZAC? where do I change in Java? Configtool or visual admin? what is the service name or parameter for this?
    Thanks
    Kumar

    hi Kumar,
    You can change the timezone of the JVMs using the -Duser.timezone
    parameter,  add -Duser.timezone=<timezone> to all dispatcher and
    server processes in your systems, using the configtool           
    1) open config tool                                              
    2) select yes                                                    
    3) select "cluster-data->instanceXXX->serverXXX/Dispatcher"      
    4) in "Java parameters" add new line "-Duser.timezone=<timezone>"
    5) click "Apply changes"                                         
    6) restart your instance
    Let me know how is the result

  • How change 'home' time-zone in ical?

    Hi
    Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
    I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
    I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
    But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
    I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
    guidance welcomed
    ross

    In the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
    If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
    Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

  • Automatic time zone stuck with the previous location

    Hi everybody,
    I wanted to use automatic time zone option but it doesn't work at all. When I ask to search for my location, it shows my previous location not current. I restart my Wi-Fi modem, restore the default settings, delate "com.apple.timezone.auto.plist" nothing helps.
    Thanks in advance for any hints!

    The Mac may be trying to find its location by looking in a database of WiFi locations. If you brought your WiFi router from your old location, it may still be located in your original location in the data base. If they are using Skyhook you can update it yourself.
    <http://skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php>
    Otherwise you will just have to not use the automatic setting until your WiFi router gets detected and its location updated.

  • How do you change the time zone/time on the iPod nano (6th generation)?

    Hello,
    I recently moved to a new city in another time zone and I am not able to figure out (or find out on forums) how to change the time on my 6th gen iPod nano. It's something I would like to fix because the Fitness application records your activity according to time. Any advice would be great!

    Go to SETTINGS on your iPod Nano 6G.
    From SETTINGS -> GENERAL -> DATE & TIME -> TIME ZONE and select the right zone/location form there.
