Doug the Impaler Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I've got to be missing something here. As everybody knows, OS X adds/subtracts your time zone adjusted hours (plus and minus daylight savings) from system time, assuming the system time is GMT. Windows doesn't do that...it uses the system time as local time. So how do I get around that? I'm assuming there's some plist in OS X that I can edit and make it say that the time stored in CMOS is the local time, but I don't know what it is. Or alternately, is there something for XP that will do the opposite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug the Impaler Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 gah, I was looking for things like "GMT" and coming up blank. Here's what I did (solved my own question) Take AppleTimeSrv.exe from Boot Camp DMG, copy it to Windows\System32 http://www.aaronballman.com/programming/RE...viceManager.php Download for Windows, extract, and right-click | Run as Administrator Add a service for it named AppleTime, have it load on startup, and voila.

SDRacer48 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Simple solution, Set the time to normal in Windows. Make sure it is set to your local time (ie. 8:50 AM EST for me right now). Boot into Mac OS X. It should then be 4 hours behind now. Go to the time settings in system preferences. Set the TIME ZONE to where your time says your current local time. (ie. I am at 8:52 AM EST right now, I would set it to 8:52 GMT London or whatever, 4 hours ahead). Therefore, your time will read your current local time in Mac OS X, but your time zone won't be right, but who really cares. If you go back to Windows your time will be at current local time.
