Yahoo Calendars on iOS 8 - Events in GMT

I think I have found an issue with using Yahoo Calendars on iOS. When I add an event from the Yahoo Calendar website, the event shows up on the iPhone/iPad with a 5 hour negative offset for me in the EST timezone. For instance, if I add an event for 10:00 AM on the website, it shows up as an event for 5:00 AM on the iOS device. If I edit the event, the times of the event are noted as GMT.
I'm using iOS 8.1 and iOS 8.1.2. Both devices {iPad and iPhone} behave the same. I have check all timezone setting, both on the devices, the computer, and the yahoo account. They are all set to EST timezone. On the iOS devices, I have tried both the over-ride timezone off and on; No difference. I have deleted and re-installed the account on the iOS devices. Have tried both the CalDAV type calendar account as well as the default Yahoo type account. All behave the same way.
Anyone have any ideas? Or can anyone confirm this is an issue?

Found the issue. Turns out yahoo has a timezone for the calendar as well as the account. It's NOT sufficient to set the timezone on your yahoo account. You also have to set the timezone on the calendar. You need to select the "Calendar Options" under settings. Warning, this can be a bit of a challenge on some browers beacuse the "Calendar Options" only shows up when the calendar is selected ... most of the time

Events made on iPad calendar(through yahoo account) don't sync with yahoo calendar

Events made on iPad calendar (through my yahoo account) don't sync with yahoo calendar on the Web. I'm on latest iOS both on iPad and iPhone4. Any ideas?
Thanks

Raymondo1,
Glad this helpped!
I am a PC user so cannot help with your Mac interfaces. I can sync (crudely) my Windows 7 Address book with iTunes. But, I cannot sync my Windows Mail or Calendar with iTunes (unless I have Microsoft Exchange).
Microsoft Exchange is not available to me. This is why I use the iPod to sync with to Yahoo for email and Calendar.
The best I can tell, iTunes does NOT support an interface with Yahoo.
Have a nice day.

Ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future

Why does ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future?
I've entered the events more than twice and it all shows up in the OSX calendar but not on my iphone.

Just tested it works even 3 years ahead.
Tap Calendars (bottom, middle) is All iCloud selected (tick mark)?

Events from my subscribed to Yahoo calendar are showing up in iCal one hour off and all calendars and computers have been reset to Central Time.

I Use Yahoo calendar as my main calendar so my dh can access it from work, so I subscribe to it for iCal. I recently moved from Eastern Time zone to Central. I didn't re-set all my calendars and apps right away. I have all my calendars and computers on Central Time now but events from my Yahoo calendar are showing up in Eastern Time in iCal. I cant edit them on my Mac or iPad because they're events from a subscribed to calendar.
So, how do I get these events to show up at the right time?
Thanks,
Reluctant Texan

This is a posting of a problem and solution.

Issues create quick events with GMT timezone in Calendar.

Hi All,
I have the following issue. I live The Netherlands but for my work I work with the UK. As they are in GMT and I am in CET I regularly create an event with GMT time in mind.
I also use Quick Events a lot. So I click on create quick event and I a type i.e. blah blah 9PM GMT. So far so good. So in this case 9PM GMT is 10PM CET.
However and I am not sure of this, but pretty sure, after the move to summertime the GMT moves two hours ahead. So the event at 9PM GMT now shows as 11PM CET.
Is anybody else having this issue?

Thank for your input. I, however, can't totally agree
your opinions.They're not opinions. They're facts, backed partially by the code I already posted, and more by code I've been dealing with for a couple of years.
Although I can parse the date & time data by using
the dateFormat as what you describe, I believe one
Java API class shall take care it.I don't know what you mean by this, but Calendar is not the appropriate class here.
The reason I want to preserve the user's time zone is
for user respective. I can ingore the time zone and
present the date data with the server machine time
zone configuration. This approach is not good for a
user. Some in Europe, for example, wouldn't want to
the time in the Pacific time zone format.You're not understanding what I'm saying.
The user tells you his TZ. He has to at some point, else you can't support TZ-specific input and display. You save that with the user profile, not with each date.
So I register with your site, and I tell you my TZ is GMT-8 (US/Los Angeles).
Later, you want to record what time something happens. You only need to look at what time it is on the server. You store that Timestamp. When it's time to display that to me--like to display the time I posted a message--you get the timestamp from the DB, and then you format it with a DateFormat whose TZ has been set to "US/Los Angeles" or "PST" or something. It will be displayed correctly.
If you want to ask me what time something happened, and you're assuming I'll be entering it in my local time, then you take the string I provide--say "2006-04-09 11:04"--then you parse that with a DF that has its TZ set to "PST" or whatever. What you save to the DB is a Timestamp created from the Date you got from the parse().
By storing a Date or Timestamp, you're not losing TZ information. You're storing the point in time at which something happened, later, when you're ready to display that, you convert that point in time to the relevant TZ. No information is lost.

BT Yahoo Calendar - Events logged on one calendar ...

I have three BT Yahoo Calendars configured on my profile one of which is shared. When I add an event to any of the calendars the events only appear on one of the calendars, the same one each time. I select the calendar I am adding the event to and deselect the others, I have also reset the 'iCalendar & Web Address' with no affect. When i frist set it up it worked fine.
Hope someone can help.

Hi jiber808,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. Are the 3 calendars associated with the same email account? Are you getting any error messages? Give us as much detail as possible. I’m sure we can help with this.

I can't sync my new mac iCal events with Yahoo Calendar

I just download an icalendar format file to my iCal account. The events show up under my yahoo account calendar, but the events are not synched with the yahoo calendar on the web, or on my iphone or ipad for that matter. Any ideas?

Sounds like you haven't updated your Sync account for the new version of Sync that was released with Firefox 29.

Google calendar and iOS 8 - no longer synchronizing

Updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 8 and suddenly my gmail calendar is no longer synchronizing on the phone. I've already done the restore to factory settings because after the upgrade to iOS 8, my phone lumped a bunch more files into "other" which weren't there prior to the upgrade. I restored as new and added all my email accounts again and calendar is turned on for my gmail account.
On my MBP, my calendar is set up sans the email, and it's still all there, synchronizing perfectly. Can't figure out what's up with the phone or why it won't work. I've also removed the email account, re-added (for a grand total of two times) and nada. Zip. Zilch. Calendar won't sync and phone will not acknowledge the gmail calendar when adding an event.
Anyone else having this problem? I've used my work calendar on this phone for 2+ years without issue.
Thanks,

i realize this is a naive question, but i've never had problems with iPhones syncing before. i just gave up my 4s with iOS 5 and now have an iPhone 6, iOS 8. Everything seemed to be working well since i got the phone in late November, until a couple of days ago, and now i'm having the problem raised in this discussion and a couple of others.
Starting a couple of days ago, i found that when i entered a new event in the iPhone calendar, it did not sync with iCal, or iCloud. I also found that my iCloud storage was full, and eventually figured out that that was because my phone had automatically backed itself up to iCloud twice, at 2.4G each, which used up most of my 5G iCloud storage. ?? I never had this problem before. So i thought maybe that's why the data stopped syncing. i deleted one of the backups and turned off 'back up' in the iCloud settings. But no success.
Then i discovered that Contacts were still syncing--if i entered a new contact on the iPhone, it showed up in iClound/iCal. So only Calendar was not syncing.
Another member of these forums suggested i make sure that iCloud was set as my default calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar.
in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendars, there are two default calendar headings. One is iCloud, and under that heading are 8 sub calendars (Home, Finance, Pets, Family, etc). The second heading is my gmail address which is my Apple ID, and under the heading there is one option, which is my gmail username. That is checked as my default calendar. There is no way to select iCloud as my default calendar. The heading is not selectable. If i want to choose an iCloud default calendar, my only choices are to pick one of the 8 sub calendars--which seems crazy to me. Why would i want to pick Pets, for example, to use as my default calendar? What's the point of having all those sub calendars? i never used them as calendars. i just used them to color code the different categories.
Anyway, i experimented with changing my default calendar from my gmail username under my gmail address heading, to one of the sub-calendars under the iCloud heading. At random, i chose the Home "calendar." Its color is blue.
None of my entries of the past couple of days showed up.
In January, i had entered three dental appointments.   They did not have a color code because i had just used the gmail username as my default calendar. They were a sort of salmon color, apparently the default color of this calendar. I changed one of the dental appointments to Home and voila, it showed up in January where it was supposed to be.
But how crazy is this?   iCloud is forcing me to choose one of these 8 sub calendars as my default calendar, so that all of my events, regardless of their correct category, becomes part of the one category i have been forced to choose? What's the point of having 8 different choices if only one of them can sync with iCloud?
At this point, i have tried one suggestion here, toggling my gmail account calendar off and back on. It didn't work I guess i will now do a reset but i am hesitating because i'm afraid i will lose data and settings and will have to put a lot more time into trying to get it set back up. It IS the main account i use and i hate to mess with it or delete it. Why is this happening?   Everything was fine until a couple of days ago.
I went to the link posted by gosleg above. That was a dead end because at that link, under "Select Calendars to sync to your iPhone," it only has one choice under My Calendars, and the email address (account) it shows is not my gmail address. this has been a confusing problem i've struggled with with Google for a long time. Before there was gmail, my google account used my then main email address, which is a roadrunner address, which i still have but don't use much. So that is the only "calendar" that is listed under My Calendars at gosleg's link. The check box is checked and it's grayed out. i can't uncheck it.
So i don't know if resetting my iPhone will even help with this.
i only know that with my 4s with iOS 5, everything worked correctly, effortlessly, easy, and after i updated to the new phone, everything worked fine for the first 3 weeks or so, and then suddenly i started having calendar problems.
Calendar problems (possibly related):
1. entries of events in Calendar don't sync to iCloud, though contacts do
2. entries in Calendar show Greenwich Mean Time, it will enter both local time zone AND gmt, two entries on one day. Despite being set to use my local time zone in settings, it wants to make sure i know what the GMT is for all my entries.
3. iOS forces me to have alerts for Calendar entries when i don't want any. Even though in settings i have default alert time set to none, and because it's set to none, when i am entering an event, i scroll down to alerts and can see it says None, when i click add to add the even, and then open the event back up, it shows an alert for 30 minutes. It does this every time. i have to turn it off.
When asked Apple about this bug, i was told i just needed to reset my iPhone. I don't think i have ever reset any iPhone i have and it scares me. I don't want to change it to factory settings, i don't want to have to go through everything and re-enter information. Do i risk losing anything?

Yahoo calendar not syncing

rdotis, this forum is designed to be a peer-to-peer support forum. Although there are a few HPalm CSR's hanging out here on their own time, it's designed to be users helping users.
My Yahoo calendar is syncing fine both ways. I can create events on
either my computer or my Pre2, and it shows up within seconds on the
other device when I hit "Sync Now". I am using an unlocked Pre2 on
AT&T. (Note: I did nothing on the Yahoo Calendar site, other than changing my Time Zone in Options. It was defaulted to GMT+00:00) I did not go through the "Set up Sync with your Mobile Phone". I'm assuming when you set up a new event on the phone, Yahoo is shown in the top right corner, correct? Is Yahoo your default calendar?
Mods here do monitor threads, and we do notify the powers that be when large issues pop up in the forum. I'll see what I can do about the Yahoo issue. Wish I had an easy answer for you!

Yahoo Calendar sync to Palm

I have a Windows XP Home Edition PC and a Palm (Sprint) Centro. I have installed version 4.2 Palm Desktop (per tech support) and installed Yahoo Auto Sync. I am connected to the internet through DSL and from the PC to the Centro by a USB cable.
Yahoo Auto Sync is suppose to sync Yahoo's calendar, address book and notepad. I do not use Outlook, only Yahoo. My sole intent is to download all of my calendar dates and events to the Centro. I have no use for Sprints' internet or email service.
Problem:
Spent MANY hours with Palm Tech support deleting and reloading software with no result. The problem is that the information that is on my Yahoo Calendar does not show up on the Palm desktop or the Centro. The information (data) transfers over but can not be viewed on Palms Calendar. However, if I search an event through the "view" window of Palm Desktop, all of the dates for that specific event can be seen. The data appears not to be "mapping" between the two programs properly.
In the desktop there is a area to add new events or titles to be viewed. Is there a name I should be using to access the calendar info? Or, just pitch the whole thing???
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

does it seem to not sync events that are >60 days from today? My calendar won't sync to my Pre if the event is in May or beyond...

ICal sync with Yahoo Calendar Beta ( 2 way) REDUX

I'm bringing back an issue that was archived recently even though it was not resolved.
Here it is: I (as well as many other people) am trying to sync iCal and Yahoo calendar. I followed the Yahoo instructions given here:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-03.html
But it only goes one way; when I add something to the Yahoo calendar it shows up in iCal, but when I add something to iCal it never shows up in Yahoo.
People keep saying to just follow the instructions and it will go both ways but for me AND MANY OTHERS it simply does not.
I've spent over an hour researching this, and this is a real live problem for a lot of people, going all the way back to 2008. I've seen dozens of different people saying they have this problem and I have yet to see a single solution aside from repeating the same instructions that do not work (for everybody).
Some of the discussions focus on iCal's "Calendar" calendar vs. "Work" and "Home" calendars, claiming only the "Calendar" one will sync. If that's true then it is beyond stupid and is totally useless to me and thousands of others. But I doubt it's true because I have tested it; I've created events in "Calendar," "Work," and "Home," and none of them sync back to Yahoo.
How can this be such a common problem and yet nobody has a solution? (At least not one that makes sense...)
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by me and many others!
(Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy; this stuff can be really frustrating!)
Thanks!

...one more thing; in Yahoo calendar, on the left-hand side where the calendars are listed, it only lists my Yahoo calendar, plus US holidays and Canadian holidays. It seems to me that my iCal calendars should be there too. How do I get them there? (That seems to be at the heart of it.)
There's an item to "subscribe to calendars" where you can enter an "iCal address," and the example they give is this:
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/sfo/ical.ics
That's a yahoo address, not an iCal address. And regardless, how do I find the iCal address for my three iCal calendars? ("Calendar," "Home," and "Work"). And besides, is this for syncing, or just viewing some external calendar?

How can I get rid of yahoo calendar on my iPhone 5c? Each time I make an entry, I have to turn off yahoo and turn on iCloud.

Each time I add an event on my iPhone 5c calendar, I have to click off Yahoo calendar and click on iCloud or the event will not register. Should I permanently delete the Yahoo calendar under settings or is there a way to default to the iCloud calendar? Thank you.

Thank you Mac.Dee and lizdance40. I am a techo-tot and am just learning my way around the system. I made both of these changes and my calendar works just the way I want it to.

When first launching Calendar in Month view, events are missing

On my iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1, when I launch Calendar in Month view, the entire calendar is blank (no events). I have to either select a different view or create a new event in order for events to show up. This has been the case since upgrading to iOS 5 and also happens on my wife's iPad 2. I have restored both devices multiple times for other issues and the condition remains.

Figured it out - the event has to be marked as full day event in order to be shown in monthly calendar. Disregard my question.

Yahoo Calendars entries created on Yahoo do not sync on iphone after upgrad

After upgrading to IOS4, any previous or new calendar entries that have been created on the web in Yahoo calendars do not appear on the iphone. However, if you create a new yahoo calendar entry on the iphone then it appears without any problem in yahoo calendars (and also is removed if you delete from the iphone).
The calendar is turned on correctly in Mail, Contacts, Calendars for the Yahoo accounts I have and I have even deleted and re-created the accounts on the iphone to see if that makes a difference and it does not.
Prior to the upgrade to iOS4, the yahoo calendars all worked fine.
Any ideas

To fix yahoo calendars then do the following:-
To reset, go to Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendar. In this menu, go to "Calendars" options which is near the bottom. In the Sync categories change the setting from "*All Events*" to "*Events 6 Months Back*". Go to the calendar app and it should now Sync all of your Yahoo calendars. Go back to settings and change Sync settings back to "All Events" and they should all still appear.
Also, for each yahoo account, go into them and make sure that Calendars is set to on.
