How do you add cities to the clock feature?

SO, you do want every possible city in the entire world listed, because you may search for any of them? OR, you only want the cities that YOU might actually search for? Your requirements are not very clear. And if it's the latter, please list all of the cities you might search for.

But, once you sort out which one you want, feel free to let Apple know using their feedback link at Feedback - iPad - Apple

Never did I say Apple doesn't *want* or *won't* allow it. What is preposterous is your comment.

1) Your experience with other giant tech companies must be limited. Searching for a particular city in a particular app is not a magical search that just happens. Search for Paris. What Paris comes up? Paris, France? Or Paris, Texas, USA? Miami, FL or Miami, OH? How about Riverside? Which of the 36 states would you be referring to? So, with all of your experience with giant tech companies, and knowing it's so easy, just let Apple know in it's readily available Feedback site. Please. To make it easier, here is the link: Feedback - iPhone - Apple

2) Glad you agree that iCloud was a good invention.

3)"shredding the music" in iTunes has nothing to do with this thread. Please go to the iTunes forum. I'm sure they can't wait for your contributions to their forum.

I want to add Orlando Florida. Fine, if they don't want to be city specific. But nothing even shows up searching Florida.

Why the **** is Acton USA on the list. When it's got a population of 20k.

Orlando has a population 10 times the size.

I don't care if they don't put list every city, but if I search for something with the search bar, it SHOULD show up.

That remark that Apple Corp doesn’t want to or won’t allow a iPhone clock function to search for a specific town or city is preposterous. My experience with many other giant tech companies i is that they will allow searching for any city. How hard could it be? The data isn’t on the phone; years ago the client / server thing was worked out now they have it repackaged as the iCloud ( nice invention Apple). So I don’t understand the feet drag for 5 years. Also iTunes needs to stop shredding the music please and there are plenty of threads that have talked about it. Nice hardware, software *****.

This is kind of silly (and discourteous)

There are ways to implement a far more exhaustive list, particularly now that data storage is cheaper and the cloud is available. Palm could do it, google can do it, (I *think* android sets time zones automatically from location data, but I'm not certain.) It has been suggested earlier there is a decent work around where you enter the name of your town or city, then the time zone (and maybe if daylight is observed), and if desired latitude and longitude. Done. I made this suggestion to Apple in 2015 through their feedback / system improvement link.

Meanwhile, I find that some cities have been added since 2015. Previously I had to choose, NYC; now I can choose Boston.

That's a great suggestion that will help the Apple coders. You should send it to Apple by using the link: Feedback - iPad - Apple.

I didn't say I didn't. I don't disagree with wanting every city. But nothing said in these forums can change that besides going to Feedback - iPad - Apple and letting them know.

No, you are limited to the cities listed. The idea behind this is more to display different time zones than specific communities. Select a city in the same time zone.

No, they do not respond to these posts (this is a user-to-user forum), nor will they respond directly to you if you post to the product feedback form (http://www.apple.com/feedback/).

I have to disagree that my response doesn't answer your question (just not the answer you want to hear). Adding every medium to small market community in the world is far from practical. By all means submit your request, just don't hold your breath.

Diavonex, what the OP is looking for is to add cities/town to the available list. I believe he knows how to locate one on the list.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

I think that the point is that if the city or town doesn't appear in that list, then you are out of luck, unlike weather widgets, which seem to be a bit more exhaustive in what is available.
