    Does anyone have a solution to the time being wrong in OS X after installing Bootcamp?

    After having Googled this, it appears that there is some inconsistency between the way Windows/OSX handle time that there are issues. It's no coincidence that the OSX time is always 4 hours early, if I leave time synchronization on. Besides leaving it off and adjusting time manually, are there any other fixes?

    I think you have to set the time in windows to london's time. or something like that. So that when you log back to osx your time will be fine, but then you would have the wrong time in windows, so yeah I dont know...lol

    The 4 hour difference would basically mean you're on the East Coast right now (-5:00 EST, +1 DST).

    No easy way except to open up the prefs each time. It'll automatically update once you do (after you unlock it).

    Most likely Apple will not fix this as Bootcamp is no longer supported at this point. They want you to upgrade which makes sense since Bootcamp was made for Leopard in the first place.

    Well, who can confirm that Leopard actually *does* fix the problem?
