Re: Menu Bar showing DS time
Hi Ronni, Shay, Bill, John .. thanks for replying. As I said in my original request, have been into System Preferences - Date/Time, which is showing correct Perth time. It does have Set Automatically ticked, it's showing Perth in the Apple Asia time band, it says WST, closest city = Perth, Australia. It's just the menu bar which is behind-the-times (or ahead of possibly!)

Re: Menu Bar showing DS time
Hi Barb, The menu bar clock settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist (in Leopard) or com.apple.menueextra.clock.plist (in Snow Leopard) Try Drag the preference file to the trash and restart you computer. See if it then shows the Menu Bar Clock time correctly. If it does you can empty the trash, if it doesn't drag drop the plist file back where it came from.

Re: Menu Bar showing DS time
Interesting Ronni, I just did what you suggest below and see that I have a set date and time set to automatically and the zone is Europe. Still it tells me the correct time and I am in the correct time zone. What ain't broke I won't fix. Better not meddle with politics is my suggestion to Apple!

Re: Menu Bar showing DS time
I echo Ronni's comments. Made sure that was done after the referendum and have had no problem but still get a giggle out of the poor ole windoze mob.
