Birth date shifts back 1 day when changing time zones

I live in China temporarily, but I come back to the US frequently. China is 15 hours ahead of the Mountain time zone in which I currently am. This trip, many of my birthdays were listed a day earlier in Address Book, thus being reflected incorrectly in iCal. Why would this happen? And how can I prevent it??? Very annoying!!

Amaneta,
this happened to me too once when traveling between EU and US, it was not the date that changed but all my appointments shifted 10 hours in iCal and Palm.
Can't remember if there was a solution posted but I changed my Mac time to CET, installed a backup from the previous day on my Palm and deleted the iCal appointments before doing a sync with the Palm.
Scary stuff for sure. See if just changing back the time to China time solves your problem (at least partly, you will not be in sync with US time), uncheck automatic time zones in Preferences/Date&Time

MacBook Pro backs up entirely when changing time zones

Good Afternoon
I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2.
I am using FreeFileSync 6.13 to do my incremental back up to a Verbatim external hard drive.
In general terms this set up works perfectly and only backs up the data that's changed since the last backup was ran. However, whenever the daylight savings time changes or I move time zones (as my job requires me to do every few weeks), the software backs up absolutely everything and takes hours to do it.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a better piece of software available that won't cause this "full" backup to occur?
Many thanks.
Martin

Thanks - what's the main topic heading to read up on this issue? (I'm very new to Apple and the support forums).
Regards,

Can I set calender invite to set at the same time, even when changing time zone. for example I am in the UK have set a meeting for 10am in NYC for weds, but when getting to NYC it is still set at 10am and doen't adjust to time zone?

Can I set my Calendar invites on a IOS 7 device to set at the same time, even when changing time zones. For example I am in the UK and need to set a meeting for 10am NYC time on Wednesday, but when I reach NYC I don't want the time zones to adjust which will then adjust my meeting I set in the UK to NYC time.

Auto update of time when changing time zones - PLEASE help.

I travel for a living and I can't figure out how to get this 8310 to auto update the time when I fly from one time zone to another. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you so much in advance!

I'm sorry to inform you that the blackberry does not have a feature like this yet. You can read this FAQ and it will give you some tips though.
Why doesn't my time update correctly when I change Time Zones? - BlackBerryFAQ.com
You would need to set that manually and enter the meeting times in accordingly.
Sorry!

Problems with auto-scale vertical charts when change time zones

I have built an application that utalizes Vertical Strip Charts. Basiclly, XY Charts that are filled with 100 points of data each loop cycle. To get the Time portion of it I use the Get Dat/Time in Seconds Function and then typecast it to a double. I have built the application and installed in on several PC in my same time zone no problem, but when I send it to someone in the UK on GMT time the strip chart does not update correctly. The scaling is off. The interesting thing is the most recent time on the chart is correct and is updating correctly, but the time at the top of the graph is not correct. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreaciated.

Can you post a copy of this application, or an example that would demonstrate this? If you change your timezone on your computer to UK's timezone and restart LabVIEW (which is necessary for the change to take affect in LV), do you see this behavior?

Entourage - Appointments change when changing time zone

Hello There,
When changing the time zone in Entourage all the appointments already entered do change as well.
E.g. the appointment is 8 am. After changing the time zone by 4 hours, the appointment changes to 4 am
I don't know why that is as it does not make any sense at all. Just because you change the time zone while travelling the time of your appointments don't change.
What can I do to avoid he undesired change of appointments.
Thanks

Hi Tom!
Don't change the timezone in Entourage once you have it set. Instead, change your Mac's timezone using the Date & Time System Preferences pane.
The default timezone in Entourage is your reference point for new appointments only. For example, if you create an appointment at 9 a.m. CST, it's still going to occur at 9 a.m. CST even though you're really at 7 a.m. PST by your clock. If you intend to schedule an appointment that will occur while you're traveling schedule it for the time in your Entourage default timezone.
Hope this helps! bill

Calendar entries updated when changing time zone (...

Can somebody please explain to me the use of this option?
It is logical you make your appointments on the local time no? Because of this stupid option, I almost missed an important job interview. Is there any way to turn it off? Or can the next update change this, cause I really do not see the point of that other than causing confusion
thanks

This is by design. Check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Time Zone Support. Turn it on to undo this behavior. Anyway, read what it says there - it describes what you have seen.

Problem Changing Time Zones

Why does the Pre calendar change timezones automatically when traveling across the country? This is very frustrating! If I am in Los Angeles on Monday and get word of a meeting in New York at 12:00pm (noon) on Wednesday, I want to simply put the meeting into my calendar for Wednesday at noon. But after traveling across the country, my appointment for Wednesday has shifted forward 3 hours on my calendar because it thinks I had the meeting scheduled for 12:00pm WEST COAST TIME. The meeting now shows a start time of 3PM. If I change time zones again, the meeting on my calendar shifts again to reflect the change. My old palms didn't do this. The iphone doesn't do this. I think it is simply too much to ask of us to have to make time zone calculations in our heads before entering appointments. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP.

This feature can be turned off so the time zone will not be updated but the time still will be.
If you open your launcher and then look for date and time(normally on the 3rd page). Once in here turn off "network time zone" this way the time zone will not update when traveling anywhere.

Changing time zones and synching

I have changed time zones and all the information in my palm is now messed up, having switched to match the current time zone. How do I change this without doing each one individually? I will also need to do this again when I go back to my former time zone.
Thanks!
Post relates to: Zire

I understand why it did it - I just need to know if there is a way to fix it so I don't have to deal with dates/times being messed up for three months. The difference in time zones is 10 hours, so it changes things drastically - not only by a few hours. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks.

6300 - Changing Time Zone (GMT+1) Changes All Cale...

I have a 6300 and a calendar full of important meetings and so on.
Last weekend we went on to GMT+1 hour (British Summer Time).
Changing the time settings in the phone to "GMT+1" changes all the calendar times to +1 hour as well.
Why does the phone do this (is this dumb or what !) ?
How can I get the phone NOT to change the calendar times whilst changing the time of day ?
Good wishes to all.

Solved!

Google calendar has resolved this problem for me by allowing Time Zone entries for Calendar items.
1. I now enter calendar entries with the local time in my Google Travel calendar.
2. I then duplicate the entry in my Google personal calendar and edit this entry to identify the destination Time Zone.
3. I then allow Google calendar to update my Outlook calendar. Entries there will show up with the destination time.
e,g. a flight departure from Madrid is scheduled for 6pm. It will show in my Google personal calendar and in my Outlook calendar as 2am the next day. It will still show in the Travel calendar as 6pm.
4. I let Ovi Suite synchronize my Nokia phone calendar with Outlook which inserts all entries with times for the appropriate time zone e.g. 2am in Madrid.
5. Now I no longer need to disable automatic Time Zone adjustment in my phone AND lie to the phone that I have NOT changed time zones whenever I change my phone clock for a new country (or Time Zone). In the Madrid example, my calendar entries while in Canada will show a 2am departure and when in Madrid will show a 6pm departure (local time).
Some benefits are:
1. Calendar times will show the local time for all entries.
2. No more calls home at 2am because I forgot the Time Zone differential.
3. No more missed appointments because I made an incorrect time adjustment.
3. Automatic Time Zone correction means my phone is always synchronized with local time. This is significant since I have observed that the phone's internal clock tends to drift. Automatic synchronization automaticallt corrects this.
Points to Consider:
1. Google is my primary calendar because I can control it's directionality.
2. Entries in my Google Travel calendar allow me to see the unadjusted times of Calendar entries, e.g. my Madrid flight is at 6pm. Since Google allows you to see multiple calendars simultaneously, I can see events with both destination and home times.
3. Google will only update one calendar to Outlook (my personal calendar) which is why the Time Zone adjusted times are updated in my Google personal calendar and then to Outlook.
4. Ovi Suite has insufficient controls on updates and sometimes will reinstall Outllok entries which have been deleted or changed. Because Outlook cannot update the Google calendars it or the Nokia calendar cannot corrupt my master calendar on Google.
5. This may not resolve all the convoluted Time Zone boundaries experience in the USA but should help.
6. Have had no problem with DST but also am not dealing with the convoluted Time Zone boundaries experience in the USA.
7. Before and currently I stll place a copy of the input data in the Description section of my Google calendar entries. These will show up in the Nokia Description unadjusted and immune from change due to outside causes.

Set Time Automatically without changing time zones?

Is there a way to choose Set Time Automatically (in Settings/General/Date & Time) and not have Calendar change the times of my appointments when I change time zones?

Here's what solved my problem: NOT checking Set Time Automatically, and NOT checking Set Time Zone Automatically. Then manually selecting the proper time zone and city.
Doing that displays the correct local time, without changing iCal times.

Blackberry and changing time zones

Is there a way to make the Blackberry change according to local time zone? my other cell phones got the time from the carrier's system, and if i changed time zones the phone would display the local time it got from the tower. But the Blackberry stays on it's original time, regardless of where I am.
Steve

No, you can't change that. BlackBerrys do not automatically change with the timezone.
There are valid reasons for that, regarding the calendar and the way it adjusts the times of scheduled meetings.

Changing time zone

This isn't a Dreamweaver question but I thought someone here
might be able to help.
How do I change my server's time zone? Right now MySQL seems
to be timestamping every record with Mountain time. I would like it
to be Eastern by default.

MySQL lets you set the timezone on a pr. session basis. Here we first view a datetime, then change time zones, then view the same datetime again:
$ mysql
mysql> use information_schema
mysql> select CREATE_TIME from TABLES where CREATE_TIME is not NULL limit 1;
+---------------------+
| CREATE_TIME |
+---------------------+
| 2010-06-10 09:37:01 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
mysql> SET SESSION time_zone = 'America/Los_Angeles';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select CREATE_TIME from TABLES where CREATE_TIME is not NULL limit 1;
+---------------------+
| CREATE_TIME |
+---------------------+
| 2010-06-10 00:37:16 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
Note how the displayed datetime is different. Wouldn't it be fine to call "SET SESSION time_zone"?

Duplicate data in historical log when changing time

Having changed the time on the computer which the Lookout Timeserver uses to synchronize its clock, my Hypertrends show that the Citadel database has two sets of data for logged objects during the overlapped time period. The Hypertrend cursor reports values for the data that was written to the database first. Unfortunately, I am most interested in the data that was recorded second. Querying the Citadel database using Excel and Microsoft Query results in null values for the overlapped time period. Is there any way to extract the second set of data for this time period other than visually recording points off the Hypertrend graph?

Remzi,
I am currently using Lookout 4.0.1 build 61 along with LabView 7.0 and MAX 3.0.1. I do not currently have the DSC software required for viewing historical data in MAX, but is there any evidence it would extract data any differently than the hypertrend cursor or Microsoft Query used with Excel? The only evidence I have that the two sets of data reside in the Citadel database is that both traces are recorded in the hypertrend viewer.
