Hello All,
I'm not sure what terminology to use to describe the problem so
please read what I'm trying to explain.
I have a user with a 1.6 Ghz PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.11.
It's clock displays an inaccurate time. The PowerBook displays GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time) while the laptop should display Pacific Time.
The cause is easy to identify but I'm unclear how I can go about
fixing the problem.
In Date & Time System Preferences there is no value listed next to
Time Zone. It's just blank.
The value listed next to Closest City is (GMT). When I click on the
arrow to see a list of cities the list is empty.
What causes this list to be empty and how can I fix it?
I thought Date & Time might populate this list based on zoneinfo
datafiles so I checked /usr/share/zoneinfo and all of the datafiles
for America are present.
I reinstalled the 10.4.11 Combo update on a whim. This didn't help.
I'm not sure if this behavior could be caused by a damaged .plist or
damaged Date & Time System Preference pane.
Has anybody seen this before or have any suggestions?
I couldn't find any mention of this problem when I searched Apple's
OS X Discussion Forums or other such sites.
I didn't think to login to another user account but I should try this
to determine if the problem is user-specific or system-wide
