Re: MacBook Pro changing timezones
out of curiosity, why can you not use the location auto detect option. I have a MacBook Air, and have checked that box, it works just fine, my Air auto changes time zone based on where I am.

I emailed accessibility at Apple and they insisted VoiceOver is able to interact and change the timezone. So I'm wondering if anyone else with the latest Mountain Lion updates is able to interact with the world map and change the timezone? Because I cannot for some reason.

Re: MacBook Pro changing timezones
you don't have to interact with the map at all. There's a time zone button to the right of the map and a combo box for nearest city. At any rate, if you do a down arrow on the combo box and then hit enter on the city you want, you can change the city. In fact, once you do the down arrow and vo says interacting with list, one item selected, you can start typing the name of your city and it will either give you choices accordingly or you can finish typing. Once you hit enter after choosing or typing the city you want, stop interacting with vokeys-shift up arrow. So yes, accessibility is right about this even though they didn't give you specific instructions. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: MacBook Pro changing timezones
Thank you. Your explanation makes perfect sense. Too bad Apple Accessibility isn't as clear with their emails. The handful of times I contacted Apple Accessibility in the past, I have not been impressed with the quality of their responses. Not to mention, whoever is writing these emails don't even bother spellchecking. Hope other people have better luck than I do. I usually get more helpful answers on this list than Apple's Accessibility department.

Re: MacBook Pro changing timezones
Hi, inn the past, under previous versions of the OS, you could type in the name of the city you're in, and hit return.
