    Question changing timezones, time, and date



    this question applies to both my ios and osx devices (iphone, ipad, mba). if i relocate to the other side of the world, do i need to change the time, date, and timezone of my devices individually; or is there any way for me to simplify this procedure since i have all my devices synced together anyway?

    thanks in advance for any instructions and feedback!

    cheers.

    As long as they are connected with the internet, timezone of your ios devices and MBA will automatically change.

    thanks, but that's the strange thing, i'm connected to the internet but they still show the original time and date. maybe i have to switch settings on my mba/ipad/ipod?

    It should automatically set the current timezone. Whenever I go to a place for instance with an Eastern Time (im on Central Time) my iOS devices and Macbook automatically sets. For some reason your devices doesn't do it automatically, maybe you need to reset (turn off then on) your devices, that should work.

    Wow, how can your device know where you are? Based on your internet connection, I suppose?

    Sorry, this promdi ain't a globetrotter, so my Eastern time is just Davao or Surigao, my Western is Zamboanga, and Central is Bukidnon. :-)

    iOS devices has locations services and the MB will use the location based on the IP address.
