Settings, General, Date & Time

If I set my iPhone to Set Automatically (On) under the Date & Time Setting, should it not show the time zone city where I currently am located? My problem is that I am sitting in Phoenix, and the zone displayed is Denver. This will be a problem come daylight savings time, because Arizona does not change. I understand I need the On setting to correct my calendar times as I travel, and to update the time to my current location. How do I correct the automatic setting from Denver to Phoenix?

Set whether iPhone updates the date and time automatically
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or off.
If iPhone is set to update the time automatically, it gets the correct time over the cellular network and updates it for the time zone you’re in.
Some carriers don’t support network time in all areas. If you’re traveling, iPhone may not be able to automatically set the local time.
Set the date and time manually
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically off. Tap Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, then tap Set Date & Time and enter the date and time.

Missing Menu Item: Settings- General- Date & Time- Automatically Set Time Z

I'm running F/W 1.1.4 on my iPhone (German TMobile contract). The Date&Time settings menu is lacking the menu item for the automatic adjustment of the Timezone. The Apple Genius Bar recommended to reset the phone, which I did with no success. Same my second iPhone with TMobile contract. All other iPhones with identical F/W build numbers which I looked at at the (US) Apple stores showed that menu item.
Does anybody see the same problem? Any idea to resolve this?
Many thanks, Hans-Uwe

Settings:General:Date & Time: Year date is 2554BE

Hi, can anyone help me.
The Problem: Settings:General:Date & Time: Year date is 2554BE - the year date selection will only give me as choice of about 50 years at 2554 BE - when I spin the wheels to select 2011 - the year dates are ghosted and the wheels automatically flip back to 1st January 2554 BE.
This problem is affecting my date, times in Email and Calendar and some APPS where I am trying to book accommodation, flights etc.
I noticed this after an update syncing session late Nov, early Dec. I didn't understand what the ramifications would be until I have started to use my travel apps for booking things.
I have tried syncing my IPhone 3 to Itunes in the hope it would fix it, but it hasn't to date.
regards
Dianne

It sounds like you are using the wrong calendar. Go to Settings, General, International and make sure the Calendar setting is Gregorian.

Date Time issue factory unlocked iphone 4s

I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s bought in Apple store US and currently in India. In Settings -> General -> Date & Time, I am setting "on" Set Automatically. After some time say 2-3 hours, the time automatically moves back by 30 minutes. In India there is no daylight savings. I am forced to set "off" for the "Set Automatically" option and then choose the timezone, time to keep it to the correct time. Anyone facing this issue ? By setting it to "Set Automatically" on, my understanding is it should sync with the mobile provider ("Airtel"). Is this a bug in iOS ?

i have same problem i also went to apple store but the can not find any problem i don't know what to do ?
i hop it's just a sofware problem

IPhone Date & Time keeps changing to "Cupertino" time zone

Hi
Every time i change my Time Zone in Settings>General>Date & Time to "London,United Kingdom" it correctly changes to "London" but if i exit Settings and navigate back to Time Zone settings it has changed to "Cupertino".
This effects World Clocks and other apps which is most annoying.
I have firmware 2.0(5A345) installed on the iPhone. Is there a way to upgrade this? Will i lose all my current data if i do a firmware upgrade? Will it even fix the issue?
Please help, there are currently 2 options I have. Find a fix or move to Cupertino so that my iPhone displays the correct time.
Is there a less drastic option?
Thanks in advance!

If i do that it states that i am running the current version. Maybe because it is a revision and not a proper update.
My twin brother also has the the version that you have (54347).
Apparently it updates the firmware when you do a "Restore" through itunes but that will wipe the phone clean of everything. I don't mind doing this as long as i can transfer my backed-up content but if i do a "Restore from backup" to tranfer all my settings etc i have a feeling it will revert it back to the firmware that the iphone was running when it was backed up. Hope that makes sense!
Thanks

IPhone upgrade to 3.1.2. resets date time - no daylight saving

I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to the new OS: 3.1.2 recently. I noticed the date & time were reset to some time way in the past so I reset them to the current date & time. I notice now there's no way in the Settings | General |Date & Time to automatically have the date & time synced with your PC and the iPhone doesn't take allowance of daylight saving time - I added London as a city for keeping track of my time and the Clock shows it as 10 hours behind Sydney time rather than 11, which would be the case if Sydney was set at daylight saving time.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my iPhone to recognise daylight saving time again? I can't see anywhere on the iPhone or iTunes to do it, I've tried resetting my iPhone. Nothing is working.

I don't see a DST option either. I assume that Set Date & Time automatically did set from the phone network and that would include DST corrections. Mine is correct now and we are on DST here. Manual says:
"Set whether iPhone updates the date and time automatically: Choose General > Date & Time and turn Set Automatically on or off.
If iPhone is set to update the time automatically, it gets the correct time over the cellular network, and updates it for the time zone you’re in.
Some carriers don’t support network time in all locations. If you’re traveling, iPhone may not be able to automatically set the local time."

Location Services always ON with Auto Date/Time/Timezone ON

iOS5 lets you see the Location Services (LS) indicator in the Status Bar when system services are using LS in addition to when apps are using LS. I turned this ON (Settings > Location Services > System Services > Status Bar Icon) and immediately saw that "Setting Time Zone" was using LS.
I went into Settings > General > Date & Time and saw that "Set Automatically" was ON. As soon as I turned it OFF the LS indicator disappeared.
Does this mean that LS is always ON when you've got auto Date & Time on? It looks like that to me...
Anyone else seeing this? I wonder whether this is an iOS5 bug or whether it's always behaved like this?
Thanks
Tim

Hi All,
I checked my friend's IPHONE 4S. Date & Time->Set Automatically is set to ON and in Location Services-> Setting Time Zone is set to On but it does not use GPS regularly but my Phone does I have tried everything Setup as new, erase all setting, reset all settings, reset network settings and restore from BACKUP. My Problem is persitent. The Only difference I notice in my mobile and friend's mobile is that he bought from Saudi Arabia and I bought from Australia (though it has been swaped by genious bar). He is using Telstra and I am using Vodafone. both has 9A406.
Hard to figure out what is this?
Thanks

HT4995 Location Services and Automatic Date & Time

What do you do when selecting 'Set Automatically" in the Settings>General>Date & Time is not accurate? Also what should be done when Location Services, specifically the Maps app, through wi-fi at home are inaccurate? Both are showing the time zone and location of the home I just moved away from.

- For location, the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi router that are in Apple's database. It sounds like you took the router with yo and Apple has not yet updated their database. They update it via information obtained from iPhones. There is not way to tell Apple to update an individual router.
- Do you have the right time zone select in Settings>General>Date&Time? That is not part of the Automatic setting.

TS1702 Cannot connect to store. Which reads a secure connection could not be established. Please check your date & time settings. What should i do if its already set to the right date and time?

Can not enter my apps store or itunes store. What should i do?

Turn the tables on the iTunes Store. Try this.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to download the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try again.

Date & Time Issue

I live in Egypt, I have this issue with my iphone4 recently, whenever i use the [Set Automatically] option for the Date and Time it Not the ring time, meaning for example now it's 6.20am, and the phone says it's 3.20pm, even when i turn it off and set it to Manually changed, and i set the right time, it still changes like a day after to what it's supposed to be if it was on Automatically Set which is far from right, what am i doing wrong?

There is NO ONE from Apple here. Just user like you assisting other users. Sounds like you carrier is having time sync problems, since the phone gets its time from them.
that being said, on the iPhone, check settings:general:date and time: and see if set automatically is on or off. Also try resetting the phone by holding down the home and power buttons and waiting until the apple appears (ignore the power off slider).

Date & time : no 'set automatically' anymore....

Hi,
I don't have the 'set automatically on/off' toggle in 'settings/General/Date and Time' anymore.Does anybody else noticed that too ?
Does that mean you will have to change manually the Timezone each time you travel to another country ? This setting was very handful.

Hi,
I believe, this has something to do with your carrier.
I have 2 SIM cards from the 2 official carriers in Denmark. If I use Telia -> I can use "automatic" mode
If I use Telenor -> The setting is missing.
I just tried this test: Use Telenor and change the time way off, turn off and change SIM card.
Turn back on, and check the setting - which is set to automatic
After some time (perhaps a turn off/on) I was looking at the battery page (Slide to unlock) and then the time changed.
I have compared the 2 .ipcc files and there is a setting which differs:
<key>SupportsNITZ</key>
<true/>
or <false/>
The "true" setting is from the SIM card which can auto update the time.
The "false" setting is from the SIM card which can't auto update the time.

HT1222 How to swich off the motion on iOS 7.0.2. ? It does not appear in Settings General Accessibility - there is no "reduce motion" option. HELP !

The motion is making me dizzy! Please help!

Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me. My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).

Date & Time freezes when loading

I have been trying to adjust my settings for Date & Time after just updating to v.10.4.11 of Tiger. When I open Date & Time however, whether from the clock in the menu bar or from System Preferences, the Date & Time screen opens with a heading "Loading Date & Time" but soon thereafter, before I've done anything, I get the spinning beachball, the application stops responding, and I have to force a quit. I also notice that the lock icon in the lower-left corner of the screen (to click to permit changes) is not appearing.
Has anyone encountered this and better yet solved it?

hmmm... i've been a wimp, and i feared that removing the com.apple.systempreferences.plist might mess up with other preferences than just Date&Time -- i don't feel like configuring everything anew right now :-\. so what will my mac look like if i trash the syspref file?
i've tried removing only the com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist, and that didn't solve anything, the control panel is still freezing

Long wait time in settings/general/iMessage/contacts/camera

I Have around a 8 second long respond time when trying to access the settings and in general iMessage contacts and camera on my iPhone 4s. I'm on the latest os. It all started happening when my wifi and Bluetooth stopped working Last year.

If you're WiFi and BT buttons are greyed out, you have a hardware problem. I've never heard of that particular hardware problem causing the symptoms you're seeing now. However, if you also updated to iOS 7 around the same time, I'd expect that you'd see a slight drop in performance, though generally not quite as much as you describe.
What troubleshooting steps have you already taken? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Go to Settings>General>Usage and check to see that you have a reasonable amount of available space. Make sure you don't have a huge number of photos. Restore the phone as new (after syncing your data).
