Appoints on iPhone are Five Hours Off

I am trying to sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro. The appointments on Entourage and iCal are correct. However, they are shifted ahead five hours on my iPhone. In other words, an appointment that is scheduled for 8:00 a.m., shows up on my iPhone at 1:00 p.m.
I have tried resetting the sync history in iSync Preferences. That does not seem to have worked. I have also repaired permissions. In iCal, my calendars are ot showing up in the left-hand drawer. In fact, the appointments do not show up unless I click on the Week button, the Month button, and then back to the Week button.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

This is not a "bug", this is a "feature". While you are traveling, you have a choice of having your Calendar appointments show up in local time, or in the time of your time zone back home.
To fix your issue:
Go into iPhone/Settings/General/Date and Time
Make sure Time Zone Support is ON
Make sure Time Zone is not blank. It should be set to your city. If your city is not on the list, pick a large city that is within your preferred time zone.

Entourage- iCal events are 5 hours off

My computer time is set to US/Central, Entourage events are US/Central, and iCal is set to US/Central. When I turn on Sync Services in Entourage, events that hit iCal are 5 hours off.
I believe Sync Services is assuming the times on the events in Entourage are all GMT, even though they show up in iCal as US/Central.
Is there a way to resolve this? I've tried it on 3 different machines, and it's broken on all of them.

FIXED. Special thanks to Tarun Reddy for noticing that the problem
only appears when using a case-sensitive filesystem. I used fs_usage
to log all file accesses and wrote a bunch of scripts to get me a list
of possible files. I had a list of 536 candidate files after the
scripting and went through all of them by hand until I found it.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /usr/share/zoneinfo/utc

All of the birthday's and holidays on my iPhone are one day off.

All of the birthday's and holidays on my iPhone are one day off (one day early). I sync it with my iPad and my iPad is correct. Does anyone know why my iphone is one day off?

Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

Ical appts. w/alerts are one hour off on iphone - how to fix?

when I create an appointment in ical, it syncs fine with iphone, but the alert (and the appointment) are set for one hour later than what they are set for in ical. The timezone on both is accurate...Any ideas?

Thx Bernard,
You are very helpful
When you went through the steps, were any of the settings different to those that I suggested?
......Yes, Time zone was uncheck in iCal and MM
I don't think you mentioned importing previously. Where are the events originally created?
.....I have a large spreadsheet of college athletic games that we keep in Excel and I import to iCal, they are ALWAYS one hour off after imported to iCal. Long before iPhone and MM too!
I don't see that MobileMe is especially different to dotmac - except that you now have explicit control over the time zone of the calendar (whereas it used to be set to the one from which you originally published).
...Honestly the TZ Support is a HUGE pain and causes Much more trouble for all than anything it is suppose to help with..., been that way ever since iCal came out...
One hour time differences often crop-up on a phone and are usually to do with daylight savings issues, but you don't mention a phone in your set-up so I am assuming this is not the case.
...again this one hour problem, has been an issue for me long before the iPhone and MM...
I have to say that I don't have issues with my calendars and I have these synced across different systems and devices, so for me it really is a non-issue. (I should also say that I travel frequently and don't have problems with events in multiple time zones either.)
...glad it works for you, but it appears this is an issue for many. I used Now Up-To-Date for 10+ years and NEVER had trouble with import/export/sync...
One thing I neglected to ask you is whether you do need to have time zone support - i.e. do you travel with any of the macs to which you sync or do you get invitations that originate in different time zones?
...I have no need for TZ Support even if I were and astronaut
It would also be enormously helpful if you would provide data on what version of OS X and iCal you are using.
....I am on 10.5.5 and iCal 3.0.5
Thx Much

Audit Events (Audit Events) are being written to ADS_EVENTS table are 12 hours off

All of my events being logged are 12 hours into the future. Is there a local setting that BO 4 uses to determine the local time zone? Or some other setting, which it uses to determine local time?

Kenneth,
By default, the events are generated in GMT-0 timezone to allow distributed environment with machines in different timezones to record a coherent time.
You can add a formula in your reports to adjust to your timezone.
Regards,
Julian

IPhone my Ical syncs are 5 hours off on my IPhone

I have noticed over the last week or so my calander on my IPhone is off by 5 hours from what ICal has listed on my PowerBook. Does anyone have a possible reason and fix?

Most likely your Time Zone is set incorrectly in either your Mac or phone, or both.

ICal Syncing Wrong Times with Ipod Touch or iPhone - Everything 2 Hours Off

Every setting is uniform across all devices (timezones, etc) and yet iCal on my iPod touch or iPhone lists my scheduled events 2 hours earlier than what I inputed on my computer. The iCal calendar on Snow Leopard is correct, but my synced devices are not.
What gives? This is a HUUUGEEE issue for someone that uses their schedule book to get through each day. iCal is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE with this issue.

I have almost exactly the same problem. The ical on my macbook has the correct times, but on my ipod touch all events appear one hour earlier. Both devices are set to Geneva time, and the time displayed on them is the same.
This is really annoying as I am about to set off travelling, and was just going to take my touch for schedule - now I either have to pack my macbook or do everything the good old fashioned pen and paper way.
Can anyone help?

ICal invites are 1 hour off

I live in Phoenix, AZ and we do not observe daylight savings here. Everything was working before we went off of daylight savings. Now, whenever I schedule an event through iCloud or on my iPhone, and then send an invite, the person who receives the invite see's it in their calendar 1 hour earlier than the appointment actually is. Example: I will schedule an appointment for 3pm AZ MST and will invite myself to that meeting. Then I will open outlook on my work computer and see the email which will say 3pm. When I open the attachment however, it shows it as 2pm. If I adjust that time, then it sends me a reschedule for 4pm on my iPhone.
I have checked the time zone settings in iCloud and it has me down as Mountain Time and when click on it, it says Phoenix. I have checked Outlook preferences and it also has me down for (GMT-0700) Arizona. How can I fix this?

I am experiencing the same issue...also in AZ. Did you ever find a solution?

Iphone syncing 1 hour off?????????

I am trying to sync my calender with Outlook 2003 basic. All of my Outlook appointments are showing 1 hour later on my iphone and some of the iphone appointments are showing 1 hour early on Outlook. I am totally lost. I have checked time setting and what I think all of the basics should be and see no problems. Have also done some of the recommended resets with no results.

You really should use the search facility - there are dozens of posts on the subject and the broad conclusion is 'carrier confusion'. You almost certainly are not doing anything wrong, but the difference in interpretation between what is in which time zone etc seems to be causing it. Mostly in the US I should add as most other countries haven't shifted yet.

Reminders created on iPhone are one day off in iCal

I am overjoyed with the inclusion of reminders in iOS 5, however when I create a new reminder on my iPhone 4S it shows up in my iCal (Lion 10.7.2) as created one day ahead of the original "remind me on" date on the phone. When I manually try to override the date in iCal to the correct date, it retains the wrong date (one day ahead). Anyone else run into this issue? Any yes, I am frustrated you can't set a due date for the reminder on the iPhone, but there's another thread on that one somewhere. Thanks for any help or insights.

I too have noticed a similar problem.
When I create a reminder on my iPhone 4S (and begrudgingly set a time, even though I want it to be all-day), it shows up in my iCal (Lion 10.7.4) as created the same day.
However, if I want to edit this reminder in iCal (i.e. delete the timed 'On a Date' message that comes with it…), the date you put–in the best way that I can desribe–has a "-1 day" attached to it.
Scenario:
You create a reminder on the iPhone 4S for Today, 5/29/2012.
In iCal, you:
1. change the date to 5/30/2012. Nothing happens (because 5/30/2012 -1 day = 5/29/2012).
2. change the date to 5/31/2012. The reminder changes to Tomorrow (5/30/2012).
3. change the date to 5/29/2012, which should do nothing, but changes it to Yesterday (5/28/2012).
Any reminders created in iCal do not have this problem.
I'm hoping that this will all get fixed when Mountain Lion comes out, and reminders becomes it's own separate app on the MacBook. I really do hope they put a field for all-day, otherwise I will seriously reconsider the use of reminders.

Time Stamps on Email are 1 hour off after updating to 10.4.6

There appears to be a problem with time stamps on Emails after updating to Mac OS 10.4.6. I am using Entourage 11.2.1 and sending to a Microsoft's Exchange 2003 Server with SP1.
If a 10.4.6 Mac sends to a 10.4.5 Mac, the time is wrong.
If a 10.4.5 Mac sends to My 10.4.6 Mac, it is wrong.
If a 10.4.5 Mac sends to my Exchange Server account, but I view it on a PC using Outlook 2003 it's wrong.
If a 10.4.6 Mac sends it to it's self, it's OK
If a Outlook 2003 PC sends to a 10.4.6 Mac, it's OK
If I send to a Outlook 2003 PC, it's OK.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Yes, the time zone is set to the correct CDT time zone and the time is set to the current time.

IPhone calendar is two hours off from mac calendar

events on iphone are two hours earlier than events on mac calendar even after syncing

How bizarre. Mine is doing this too, except it's 3 hours off. I showed up to work 3 hours early because of this. Time zones are the same on my computer and my phone. I'm not sure what the deal is.

Date and time 12 hours off

The date and time are 12 hours off on all my Idevices (Ipads and I pod touches), YET the time is correct on my Iphone and all my computers and my router. The date/time are set to generate automatically. When I turn this feature 'off' the time immediate changes 12 hours back to the correct time. However, synchronized events on my calendars (say, with gmail calendar) remain 12 hours off. I have no idea what is going on. I had thought this may have something to do with my wi-fi and/or router, but the 'automatic' date/time change regardless of whether wi-fi is even on or off on the devices. Also, I can't figure out why the Iphone would have the right time when the other devices all have the time off by 12 hours. Any ideas

Thanks, but something is still wrong. I have tried to set the date and time manually and this does fix the general time on the Idevice; however, programs such as weather and the calendar still show events 12 hours when they synch to gmail calendar. So something about the Idevice is still telling the device it is 12 hours off even though I have set the date/time manually.

Time on Mac and iphone is 1 hour ahead today

Hi,
I don't know where to ask this question, but today I've noticed that both my MacBook Pro and my iPhone are 1 hour ahead. Both are set to set the time and time zone automatically using current location. Both realize, correctly, that I am in London, England and the computer even says correctly that it is British Summer Time. The computer gets its time from Apple Europe (time.euro.apple.com). They both have the correct date. But although it is now 10:56 AM in London (according to my watch, my girlfriend's phone, my girlfriend's supervisor who she's meeting with now for her 11 AM meeting, and the office wall clock), both my iPhone and computer say 11:56 AM. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I've only noticed this today, but my girlfriend said she saw that my iPhone was off yesterday as well. My laptop is a 2006 Macbook Pro, with Snowleopard 10.6.7 and my iPhone has iOS 4.3.3 (and isn't unlocked or jailbroken or anything similar). I can fix the problem by turning off the automatic time and setting it by hand, but that's a bit annoying. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

This is actually an improvement so you have no need to worry.
I usually have my E65 on 'auto update' as the network I use supports this feature but I disabled it and saw "Athens +3" as my timezone.
I then altered the date to November and checked again and it said "Athens +2" so I'm thining they've programmed the time software to alter the DST setting for you automatically without any manual intervention from yourself.
Also this improvement means if you add cities to the 'World Cities" list. The time there is accurate too. Before (on my N70), it never altered my world city list to account for DST.

Ical events 3 hours off using isync w/ Palm Tungsten T3

Hello there, I've recently started having trouble syncing my mac with my Tungsten T3. All of my ical scheduled events - present, future and even past - have jumped ahead by three hours.
The problem began after I installed Leopard 10.5. I've since reverted back to Tiger 10.4 because of several compatibility problems. But, now all of my events are 3 hours off and some of my tasks aren't syncing to my handheld and vice versa. I've install and updated the daylight savings time update from palm.com and reset my Tungsten T3 several times but I'm still have the same problem after a sync.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Janeen

After looking more closely at the .ics files exported by Oracle Calendar I see that events are exported as if they were GMT; iCal is, indeed, showing the appointments at the correct local time. This makes my first two questions irrelevant.
However, question #3 still remains: why or how does the original GMT stamp persist after manually setting an event's time zone to local time, "America/Denver"?
