Hey Forum,
I have recently upgraded my MB to leopard.
For some reason, my time keeps getting off by ~ 5 hours. I have reset it, tried turning off the "set time automatically", made sure that my location time zone is west coast...
For what its worth, I am also doing alot of work in parallels with windows XP and also with a bootcamp partition and my windows time gets completely off as well....
Ive been a mac user for over 10 years...I cant believe I cant figure this out!

OS X assumes the local clock is set to UTC (and sets it that way), Windows assumes the local clock is set to the local timezone (and sets it that way).
The easiest way to handle it is to set the wrong timezone on one side (UTC in Windows, or whatever the +7/8 TZ is on OS X). The best way to handle it is to have a login script run ntp on both sides.

Also, it is interesting that as I post, it says "9:01 PM" and my clock says 2:01...is this related to what you are talking about?

I've reported on this here myself. I live in San Jose, so I have my clock set to Cupertino. However, the clock is always wrong with this. If I set it to Los Angeles, it is correct. Trying other cities on the west coast, I've found some that work correctly and some that don't. I do not believe this has to do with Windows.
I have not found a solution. It may be a bug.
