That is not what I see. Here is what happens for me: 1. My OS is set to Eastern time zone. 2. I launch Entourage and create a new event for 5 pm west coast time (by changing the time zone of the event). I get a little yellow info bar in the event window telling me the event time has been adjusted in the calendar. When I look at the time of the event in any of the calendar views, I notice that it shows up at 8 pm. This is correct, as 5pm on west coast is 8pm on the East Coast. 3. I then quit entourage, change the OS time zone to Pacific time, and relaunch entourage.
Result: The event shows up at 5pm in the calendar views, as expected. I guess I wasn't pretending to be Mr. Allen or Mr. Washington, but that shouldn't make a difference... -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Burnham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:26 AM To: Entourage:mac Talk Subject: Re: Time Zone oddity > In this case, you want to create the event with the Los Angeles time > zone. > > You do this from the "Time Zone" sub menu of the Event menu when > creating an event. In your particular example, you would select > Pacific Time. Your advice is exactly what I was doing. The thing is, I create the event while in the eastern time zone. Then, when I arrive in Los Angeles, and set my computer to the local time out there, the event in Entourage has been moved three hours from what it should be. Note that one of the features lacking in OS-X is something akin to the former Location Manager. You cannot specify "Pacific Time Zone" as a location that will reset your date/time preferences automatically. The "Location" feature in System Preferences does not deal with the clock. Try it, using the example below, and you will see what I mean. Make believe you are Woody Allen. You are using your computer in the eastern time zone. Now, create an event called "Go to the Academy Awards" and plan to have the event begin at 5:00 PM. Use the Time Zone sub menu to assign it to the Pacific Time Zone, and it will tell you that the time has been adjusted for you in your calendar. You think: cool! Then, get on your imaginary charter jet and go to Los Angeles. When you arrive, you go to your system preferences and change your computer to the Pacific Time Zone. If you look at your events you would see that you are scheduled to be at the Academy Awards at 8:00 PM. But you're Woody Allen, and you trust your software, so you don't bother looking. In your hotel room you are sipping champagne and taking a nap with a youngster, and when you wake up at 7:00 to get dressed. When you arrive at the Kodak Theater you discover that the event began three hours ago and you missed your chance to be on national TV. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
