0How To Change Time zone On MacBook Pro/Air/Mini - macOS Big Sur[Tutorial]
You can have the date and time set automatically using a network time server, or set your computer’s date and time manually. Be sure your time is correct so time stamps on emails, messages, and files are correct.
By default, Calendar events are displayed in your computer’s current time zone (set in Date & Time preferences). However, you can change the time zone and set individual events to use a different time zone.
If you change your Calendar’s time zone, new events use the new time zone. When you switch back to the time zone that your Mac is using, events created in the other time zone keep that time zone. Any other events return to their original dates and times.
For example, you might temporarily switch to Eastern Time to schedule a Broadway play during your upcoming vacation. When you arrive in New York, you’d switch your calendar to Eastern Time. Back at home, events you added while in New York would keep the Eastern Time zone. Other events would return to their original dates and times.
To update the time zone in macOS or Mac OS X, click on the Apple menu on the top left of your screen and select System Preferences. Choose the Date & Time panel and then click on the Time Zone tab. A world map will appear - click on your location and your time zone should appear below the map. You can also choose to "Set time zone automatically using current location", which will allow the Mac system time zone to dynamically switch as you travel.
