How change 'home' time-zone in ical?

Hi
Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
guidance welcomed
ross

In the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

  • Change display time zone in iCal?

    Hello-
    I just moved from the east coast to the west coast. I have Time Zone Support turned on in iCal, and I've set my time zone to Pacific Time in the OS X Date & Time Control Panel. Nevertheless, when I create a new event, it defaults to eastern time and I have to change it, and all my appointment times are displaying with their EDT time in iCal. The time is "correct" -- that is, if I create an event at 12:30 pm it displays in iCal as happening at 3:30 pm EDT -- but it's very annoying. See the screenshot for what I'm talking about. Any help would be very helpful!

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

  • How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

    I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
    What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
    I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
    I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
    I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
    The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
    I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
    Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
    I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
    Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
    This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
    1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
    2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
    3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
    4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
    I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
    Sorry for the longish cry for help.
    Thanks

  • How can I change the time zone while not changing the time

    Let me preface this by saying I know this may seem tiddling to many but it is somthing I am rather obsessive about.
    I took many photos while I was in Los Angeles.  I had changed my camera's clock and the clock in the MacBook Pro to Pacific Standard Time and my iPhone automatically did the same thing. When I loaded photos into Aperture on my MacBook Pro the time information was all correct, all photos tagged in PST.  I had some photos I took on my last day that I did not load into Aperture until I got home to Denver.  When I loaded these images into Aperture they still have the correct time that they were shot but now show as being taken on Mountain Standard Time.  If I change the time zone in Aperture then the image time is also adjusted to be one hour earlier.
    Is there any way I can change the time zone in Aperture while leaving the actual image time alone?

    Hello Mark,
    Aperture will display the "Date created" with respect to the time zone your system is set to, but the "Date" using the time zone the image was taken in.
    You can adjustthe Time Zone for individual images either on import or afterwards using batch change:
    Select the images you want to adjust, then select "Metadata -> Batch Change" from the Aperture Application menu:
    Click: Adjust Time Zone
    Set the Camera's Time Zone to the Time zone you set your camera to when you took the images, and the Actual Time Zone to the zone you want Aperture to use to display the date.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S:
    This works with most cameras, but there seems to be a bug with canon cameras when importing directly from the camera. Frank Caggiano recently started a thread, but right now I cannot find the link.

  • How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

    I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
    I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
    Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • Time Zone Vs. iCal Events

    I just moved from LA to NYC and when I changed the time zone on my Mac all of my iCal events switched to three hours earlier. I have up to ten events nearly every day for the next several months and can not go in and change them one by one. Can someone let me know if there is a comprehensive quick fix to this?

    I know this will sound strange but, go to ICAL/Preferences/Advanced and uncheck"Turn on time zone support" . That worked for me when we moved from NJ to CA. Good luck.

  • Problem caused with appt times by changing calendar time zone support?

    I've got a 30Gb iPod Touch, version 4.0.2.
    I've always kept the Settings' Date & Time timezone for the correct location, but it was only a while back that I realized that there was also a Time Zone under the Settings, Calendar, and so I changed it so that it was correct (it was previously set to Kabul, AF time, and it was then changed to Ottawa, ON time).
    I'm thinking that this may have messed up all my future appointments, as my appointments have been switched to midnight or somewhere near it, for the day prior to when the appointment was supposed to have been. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this, and didn't see this exact problem occurring for anyone else when I did a search of the discussions.
    Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and what I can do to set it right?

    Hi Cindiii,
    Time zone support has often been a point of contention and confusion for many users. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix at the present time. Do you have any idea as to why you touch was set to Kabul? Did you buy it new? If not, perhaps the last user had it set to this time?
    In any case, Calendar does allow for its own time zone settings. This is to allow the user to create events for his/her home time zone while traveling. Even if your system time zone reflects the current time zone that you are in, appointments added to Cakendar will show up in the time zine that you choose based in the time zone you set in the Calendar settings.
    This definitely sets up conflicts if you are trying to schedule an appointment that is outside of your home time zone. Now that you have switched the time zone in your Calendar settings to your home time zone, there is nothing you can do about the events already created. As I see it, you have only two options:
    1. Change the time zone back to Kabul time and view your events as though they were your local time, or
    2. Leave the time zone in the Calendar settings to your home time zone and either time adjust the events in your head (knowing the time difference), or manually changing them to the correct time one by one.
    I'm sorry this doesn't provide you with a magic solution, but I really don't see any other alternatives.

  • How to use time zone settings with calendar events ??

    After looking through the questions on time zones and synchronization, I still cannot get my Palm Centro to operate the way I think it should.
    I have a Verizon Centro, am using Windows XP with Outlook, and synching via the Hotsync manager 7.02 over a USB cable.  I am not using Palm Desktop.
    I am expecting events to shift time in the calendar when I change the time zone, but they do not.
    I am preparing for a trip.  I enter several test events into MS Outlook placing the events to occur in a different time zone into my calendar at the time the event would occur in my home time zone (NY).   For example, a meeting from 9-10 AM in Los Angeles is put in my MS outlook calendar as 12-1 PM on the day of the meeting.  Then I sync, with the time zone of my Centro and Outlook set for New York.  The Centro is set to update Date, Time, Zone automatically from the network in New York. The meeting event appears as 12-1 PM on the correct day.
    Then I turn off the Centro phone (ie disconnect from the Verizon network), change the time update to "Nothing" -- ie entirely manual, change the time zone to Los Angeles and set  the time to the correct time in Los Angeles.   I expect the meeting to shift to 9-10 AM in my Centro calendar, but it does not !!!!!  I try other combinations -- Leave the time update on Date and Time automatic, and change the time zone to Los Angeles, etc.  I think I tried all the combinations.  Throughout, I leave the Centro phone off of the Verizon network.  I cannot get the meeting to change its time in the new time zone.
    What is the trick ??? What did I miss ??
    You might ask why I am trying this with the phone turned off -- that is because I am really going much farther than LA, and into a GSM network where I will simply use the Centro as a PDA.
    Any advice appreciated.

    thepoeta --
    Thanks for the response.
    Indeed my preference was not set "new events use time zones".
    Meanwhile, I had loaded all the applointments from Outlook, about 20 of them,
    figuring I would just move them manually en route.
    I will play with the time zone preference, but,
    is there any way to identify the existing appointments in the
    Palm as belonging to a different time zone, just using the Palm Centro ?
    Thanks,

  • Change the time zone in Java System only

    Hi there,
    Does anyone knows where to change the time zone in Java system only? I know in ABAP they have t-code: STZAC? where do I change in Java? Configtool or visual admin? what is the service name or parameter for this?
    Thanks
    Kumar

    hi Kumar,
    You can change the timezone of the JVMs using the -Duser.timezone
    parameter,  add -Duser.timezone=<timezone> to all dispatcher and
    server processes in your systems, using the configtool           
    1) open config tool                                              
    2) select yes                                                    
    3) select "cluster-data->instanceXXX->serverXXX/Dispatcher"      
    4) in "Java parameters" add new line "-Duser.timezone=<timezone>"
    5) click "Apply changes"                                         
    6) restart your instance
    Let me know how is the result
    Regards

  • I need to change the time zone without changing appointment times individua

    I have moved back to Nairobi from London and need to change the default time zone on iCal. However, when I do it changes the appointment time.
    Is there any way I can say 'from this point on, I am in a different time zone, please don't change the times of my appointments and get the alarm times right on iCal and when synchronising with my iTouch'.

    1) you have to do it for each event.
    2) as for time display: go to system preferences>date&time and select 24-hour clock rather than am/pm, then go to system preferences>international>formats>times>customize, then customize the short, medium, long and full to show the 24hr setting - also remove the AM/PM of course and drag whatever field is appropriate as in hour, minutes..
    hope this helps

    i have a 8900 curve now and i was going through the settings etc things and put the home time zone.. and i don't like it and would like to remove the second clock from the display, but HOW?

  • Need the SQL Query to check SQL time zone and change the time zone

    Hi All,
    I am using SQL Server 2008 SP2. My Ex SQL Admin said that the data which we query from our database gives the output in London time.
    But the SQL server is located in USA and is having US time.
    I would like to know how to find what time zone is the SQL application running on and how to change it ?
    Is there any query which i can use to determine and change the time zone ?
