Why isn't apple updating time zones

Samoa has recently changed time zones, moving to the other side of the dateline. Both my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and my iPad 2 are not displaying correctly. I am going there on business for two months and need my Macs to be correct. My PCs runing old XP were correct on the day of the change!!! What's up Apple. I am embarrassed, and this could generate more than just passive complaints from people who have invested in your computers. I have checked sys updates daily and NOTHING.
When are you going to catch up?

To clarify. IANA is a part of ICAN which has the TZ Atlas. That last update was in November 2011, which did include the Samoan time change. The problem is that Apple has not incorporated that update into their regular system updates, which is the foundation of this question and the problem that most users will have. I don't mind accessing the database myself, but it should not be the responsibility of the user to do so. Wouldn' t you agree?

    Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.

  • Why does every Apple update require a restart?

    I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
    UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
    Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

    Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
    Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

  • Why isn't Apple selling the 2GB iPod Shuffles?

    ???
    I had a 1GB one (it's a bit old now) and it finally started breaking down (it will randomly shut off during the middle of a song and then turn back on)
    I don't want to buy the new one, and I would prefer a 2GB over the 1GB, but why isn't Apple selling it on their website?
    (Hope this was the right place to ask this. I checked the other categories before coming here)

    They're still selling refurbished 2GB shuffles in pink, green and blue...

  • Why isn't my Face Time screen expanding when I press the arrow buttons? I am getting a very narrow view. I want the entire screen.

    Why isn't my Face Time view expanding to show the entire screen when I press the arrows on the corners of the screen? I'm only getting a narrow view.

    If you've tried holding down both buttons together for 30-60 seconds and still nothing, you need to make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have it evaluated. They will give you your options at that time.

  • Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages other than imessages?

    Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages to phones with systems other and OS? I just purchased an ipad4 for my husband. This limitation is very frustrating. When I purchased and ipad3, I was told how to make the message go through as an SMS; however, this never worked. Had it not been for the fact that my husband has an iphone5 and getting an ipad with the same operating sytem simplifies things for him, it may have been better to get an Android tablet and switch phones!

    I understand that, but it does have a message system, so it makes sense that you should be able to receive ALL messages via this system.  I do have a phone and I can get them all, but if I sit down at the ipad to check messages, I only get those sent through imessage.  Sorry, I'm venting and you probably can't do anything about it.  Apple needs to wake up and figure out that if it doesn't change its protocol on the ipad, then people will switch to another system that does. Hoping that someone from Apple sees this.

  • Why didn't Apple update it's 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina line up?

    I plan to buy a new MacBook Pro Retina to replace my MacBook Air, I've been waiting for months to see if Apple update it's 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina line up, but on Spring Forward Apple did not update it, does any body know why and when will apple update it's line up? Also I will do a lot of coding and video editing with my new MacBook Pro, which model should I take, or what will suit me the best, the 13inch Retina MacBook Pro or the 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro?
    Thank you guys for your answer, and sorry for my bad English.

    Intel hasn't released the Quad Core Broadwell chips yet, Intel recently announced mid 2015 for these chips.

  • How to update time zone setting in Aperture 2

    When you install Aperture 2 you specify a time zone. However, I can't figure out how to change Aperture's time zone setting. I used to live on EST, so most of my photos are in EST. But since then I've moved to HST (Hawaii Standard Time) and purchased a MacBook and Aperture 2. I'm now trying to import photos taken in EST and can't seem to import them with the correct EST date/time. I changed my MacBook settings to EST and the date/time in the import window shows the label "EST" but the time has been adjusted to 5 hours ahead, which is HST. It is still adjusting the time from EST to HST even though my MacBook is setup to EST at this moment in time.

    Have you tried changing the date time settings in your camera?

  • HT201336 Why isn't Apple time-stamping these updates?

    Time-stamping during code signing ensures that the signed files are still verifiable after certificate expiration.
    Apple is doing this with software distributed for Windows (e.g., QuickTime, iTunes, etc.), so why not for updates for the Mac OS?
    Of course, for its Windows software, Apple seems to be using a code-signing certificate issued by Verisign.
    This is a really lame problem to have that can be avoided entirely by following basic best practices for code-signing.

    To clarify. IANA is a part of ICAN which has the TZ Atlas. That last update was in November 2011, which did include the Samoan time change. The problem is that Apple has not incorporated that update into their regular system updates, which is the foundation of this question and the problem that most users will have. I don't mind accessing the database myself, but it should not be the responsibility of the user to do so. Wouldn' t you agree?

  • Why isn't Apple softwear updating?

    The Apple Softwear Updater states that there are updates to iTunes and Safari and they start to download. The downloading wheel just spins and nothing is happening after >3 hours. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Hi,
    Oops, my bad.    Make sure you have your Firewall and any other security programs on your computer turned off.  Try the update again.  If it still fails, try rebooting your computer. 
    Hope this helps!

  • 4S WiFi issue...why isn't Apple helping? Time to switch??

    I'm looking for Apple to replace my 4S if they can't fix the the WiFi problem - has anyone had any luck in getting through to support? I'm not willing to pay $35 just to talk with someone

    If your iPhone is beyond the 90-day free telephone support period and you don't have an AppleCare plan on the iPhone, then unless the problem is one that will be covered as a warranty issue you do have to pay for the support call. Otherwise you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store, if you have them in your area, and they will assist you without charge (unless the iPhone needs replacement and is out of warranty).
    Regards.

  • Birthdays in iCal, Address Book, iPhone.  Why isn't Apple listening?

    I have seen this complaint over and over again. I have sent countless feedback emails. Why is it that Apple just doesn't care about these VERY BASIC things? Their attention to detail is amazing, yet they choose to ignore things that scream incompetence....
    Why is it that I can sync birthdays from my Address Book in to iCal. (Awesome feature by the way) Yet I cannot set a reminder of any kind. Does Apple just think this isn't important to people? Do they just not care? I run into these types of problems with almost every application they have. There will be those one or two little things in each that begs the questions: What are they thinking? How could they have missed this? Why aren't they listening to people? Another upgrade I paid for, and it's still not fixed?
    Are any of you feeling this frustration?

    That's great, thanks! Worked like a charm, and all my birthdays now have a reminder. Even tells me their age...
    Frustrates me that I have to pay $6, when it should already have this functionality. However, it's otherwise a useless feature, unless I am reminded of the birthdays, so I'll pay the $6. It's more important to me to know when these birthdays occur.
