win 7 and osx keep changing the damn time
so i set both windows 7 and osx snow to san francisco/pacific standard time

so they should both think I am in the same area and show the exact same time that is saved in the bios, yet when I boot into osx it shows the clock wrong, off by 12 hours or more. if I change it to the correct time of course windows time is off. I know I could make them both connect to the internet and change the time, but that not only dosn't always work, it is irrational.. do others deal with this, and how? it drives me crazy


how do I force osx to just show the time that is in the bios correctly?

thanks

That happens to me, too! But in Vista... I'll see if I can find anything

edit: I set it to not change the time automatically, but idk how it will work with having the right time in both OS's

That is because OSX always sets the system clock to GMT and then displays the corrected time of your time zone. Windows saves on BIOS whatever your time is, disregard of time zone.

You can find a fix for windows here or you disable the "Set date & time automatically" in OSX and adjust your time zone to gmt.

Easiest fix is to change the OS X time zone.

It also screws up with any world clock you have set up though

It's the fault of osx imo. Why set system clock to be gmt and complicate things?

For me it works perfect to change my clock to Dublin / Ireland (GMT+0:00) to have correct time on Snow Leopard and XP during the winter - I no longer have it changing - don't ask me why, I just tried till it worked and there is no other fix applied.

I would say its a matter of not agreeing whats right or not giving you a choice like some linux distros do.
Google for AppleTimeService from Bootcamp. Alternatively there is also a registry hack for vista to set the hardware clock to gmt.

from what i've read, the vista registry whatnot causes some problems for people, and having windows handle actual time and osx do gmt and not auto change time works so perfectly, I wonder why someone would even consider the registry change
