OSX Lion Timezone Settings Issue

Hello

My MacBook Air is not able to set timezone even if location services are turned on.

I'm using OSX Lion (10.7.5) and can't upgrade to a newer system. I tried reinstalling the whole system, but it didn't help.

As a result of this issue, I'm unable to access some sites from Safari as well as Chrome. Chrome reports that the time and date settings are incorrect, even though they are set correctly. I tried to set it manually, but it had no effect.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Changing time (time zone) Why is this so difficult now? Recently got a new MBPro, OS Ventura 13.0.1. Now I'm traveling in a different time zone. Time in upper right of menu not adjusting. In previous OS, this would take 5 seconds, you could click the time and set the zone, a couple of clicks. Ok but now......I am down the rabbit hole in System Settings, Location Services, clicking switches on and off repeatedly in different windows, and nothing updates. I have set all the appropriate toggle switches on and off, it's a dizzying journey that is not even remotely intuitive. And I am FOLLOWING APPLE'S INSTRUCTIONS. Nothing works. Why does Apple make things MORE DIFFICULT? Can anyone explain clearly in under three simple steps how to update my time zone? This should literally be a no brainer, but none of their instructions have any effect. Utterly ridiculous wasting time on such a trivial detail.

I'm sorry. In fact, I was able to upgrade to OSX High Sierra. Problem solved.
