In 2007, several countries and regions will change the dates on which they observe Daylight Saving Time. In our area, we will begin observing Daylight Saving Time on March 11. Daylight Saving Time observances vary between countries and regions and are subject to change by national and provincial governments.  Even areas of Canada will adjust what day they switch to Daylight Saving Time this year.

Because of this, it is important to make sure your computer switches to Daylight Saving Time on the correct date.  In order to accomplish this, Apple has provided updates for OSX (10.3 and 10.4) via Software Update on your computer.

At this time, we strongly recommend you make sure your computer is current by running Software Update and look for the Daylight Saving Time Update. If it’s been awhile since you last ran updates, you might have to run software update two or three times before you see this available for download.

The only exception to this rule is if you knowingly have some older software that may not run on a newer version of the operating system.  If this is the case, or if you should have ANY questions on this procedure, please call MacDoctors at 605-333-9600.

For more information, here is a link to a page from Apple Computer that explains this in more depth.
