Hey Jtag324,


What happens when you try to change the time zone? Do you get an error? If yes, what error do you get? Is the option to change the time zone greyed out? Check out these steps below to see if you can apply it: Set the date and time on your Mac


1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General  in the sidebar, then click Date & Time on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)

2. Set the date and time automatically or manually.

•Automatically: Turn on “Set time and date automatically,” click Set, then enter a network time server for your region.

•Manually: Turn off “Set time and date automatically,” click Set, enter the date and time, then click Set.

3. Set the time zone automatically or manually.

•Automatically: Turn on “Set time zone automatically using your current location.”

•Manually: Turn off “Set time zone automatically using your current location,” click Set, enter a city in the text field, select the full city name from the list, then click OK.


Also, see if restarting your Mac can help. If not, you can also try booting your Mac in safe mode next and then try again: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Let us know how it goes!


Best regards.
