I have an Airport Extreme and am using the USB hard disk feature to make a drive available on my network. The drive is formatted Mac OS X extended. I would like to sync files to it and have run across a problem in that the file's creation and modification times are off by one hour on the USB disk. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Are you in a daylight saving area.. does the AE have the correct time??
I am in a daylight savings time area. How do you set the time on Airport Extreme?
AFAIK.. you cannot do a thing from v6 airport utility.. all time controls were removed.. you will need an old computer or windows version airport utility.
You can change the time zone setting or remove auto and set it manually.. that should still work even to a Gen6 AE.. but I cannot guarantee it to be so.
It seems silly to not have access to set the clock if the airports include timed access which it does.. so let me check with others who know this area better than me.
Just to comment.. when I uncheck set time automatically it does NOT allow manual settings.. so how weird is that.. why bother having a check box if you don't have any choices.
I put an old mac on the network and was able to set the time (thank goodness for hanging on to old machines). Many thanks for your suggestion. I wish Apple would allow setting the time in the new software. All the times are now correct.
