I seem not to be able to grasp the time ahead and subtracting the time to Pacific.  
What I have is a JSON  
Can iOS convert the Time Stamp that was created by the server?

@hcri50 Thanks very much for your question! In order to convert an object to a particular timezone, I found a solution that was identical to your problem. The solution may be found [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13917938/change-nsdate-from-one-time-zone-to-another).

I hope this helps!

All the best!

thank you for your reply, sadly I can not make GMT work for Zulu time.  
If you noticed that the time string for display is NSString \*str = @“2012-12-17 04:36:25”;  
Mine is Different for it ends in :24Z. which stands for Zulu not GMT  
;-(  
thank you again sir.
