Is WorldTimes compatible with OS X 10.5 Leopard?
When I click on a location, WorldTimes shows the error message “Can't get «class seDR» of «class tabW» 'locationTable' of «class scrV» 'locationView' of window 'addTimeZone'.” What can I do?
Do I need to update WorldTimes for the new North America Daylight Savings Time rules?
Can I edit the Daylight Summer / Savings Time (DST) information in WorldTimes? I think the DST information for a location is out of date.
I don't see the location I am looking for. How can I add it?
Why are the regions and locations organized the way they are? For instance, why are there separate America, Canada and US regions, some with cities and others with time zones?
Can WorldTimes show the time in a different format?
Why can't I add another location? I clicked on a + button but nothing happened.

Yes with one small exception. If you try to add 'Japan', WorldTimes shows an (admittedly unhelpful - we'll be fixing it!) error message “Can't get «class seDR» of «class tabW» 'locationTable' of «class scrV» 'locationView' of window 'addTimeZone'”.
Instead, to see the time in Japan, add 'Tokyo' from 'Asia'. The two locations have the same time zone.

This is a known issue under OS X 10.5 Leopard that we are fixing. In the interim, to see the time in Japan, add 'Tokyo' from 'Asia'. The two locations have the same time zone.

A:

No. Since WorldTimes uses the time zone information built into OS X if your copy of OS X is up to date, WorldTimes has all the information it needs. But Apple has made even more recent worldwide Daylight Summer / Savings Time changes available. For more information see the answer to the next question.

Unfortunately you can't edit the DST information for a location in WorldTimes because it uses the time zone information built directly into OS X. But Apple does update time zone information in OS X on an ongoing basis.
In general, make sure you are running the most recent update to your version of OS X because Apple includes time zone changes as part of the updates. For example, OS X 10.4.5 and later include updates for the U.S and Canada 2007 DST changes. The easiest way to make sure you have the latest update is to choose the Software Update command on the Apple menu.
Additionally, Apple has released a DST specific update for OS X 10.3.9 and OS X 10.4.8 with all worldwide DST changes since 10.3.9 and 10.4.8 were released. The University of New Hampshire has repackaged this update, making it available for versions of OS X prior to 10.3.9 including 10.2.

Q:
|
I don't see the location I am looking for. How can I add it?
|
|
A:
|
To add a city or town not in the list of locations, find a nearby city in the same time zone, add that and then change the name to the desired location.
So why does WorldTimes include some locations and not others? For simplicity and compatibility, WorldTimes takes its list of regions and locations from the time zone database built into OS X, which is a version of a public domain time zone database.
|
|
Q:
|
Why are the regions and locations organized the way they are? For instance, why are there separate America, Canada and US regions, some with cities and others with time zones?
|
|
A:
|
Good question. This is how the time zone database built into OS X is organized so for compatibility WorldTimes follows that.
|
|
Q:
|
Can WorldTimes show the time in a different format?
|
|
A:
|
Yes. WorldTimes uses the time format from the International preference pane of your System Preferences. If you prefer to see the time in different format, change the time format preference and WorldTimes will use the new format the next time it is run.
