This is the second time that I got this message.
It comes from nowhere. No application.
I'm not sure if it is safe to press restart.
"Updated Time Zone Information Available
Restart to apply new time zone definitions."
What should I do?
Is this spam or a hack or from Apple?
iMac 27″, macOS 11.6
I'm in Toronto. my GMT is -4, and my time zone and the clock of all of the devices I have are correct and work well.
I'm worried if my computer is getting hacked.
I want to know if this message from Apple and everything is OK.
Also, I did not press the Solved button. 😳🤯Why is it showing me that my problem was solved?👎🏼 It doesn't make sense!
Thanks for your help, Ewarrior999
I have set my iMac for many years on auto. And, I haven't get that message on my other devices.
If Apple wants to update something, it always does it via the Software Update. like this:
I've worked with Apple products for more than 13 years. and I haven't got any messages like that. To me, it is like some hacking apps that try to force you to install a fake Adobe Acrobat, Flash Player, and antivirus... on a web browser.
What Time Zone or part of the world are you in?
If you can't change the time or time zone on your Apple device - Apple Support
From Apple: “If a message appears saying that updated time zone information is available, restart your Mac”
I've just found this...
I'd be suspicious also, no idea why it got marked Solved or Answered, but it can't be undone. :(
The free Malwarebytes may take care of it...
Good work, great find! :) 👍
Ah, thanks, wonder if some South American country or region changed definitions,
