Calendar and time zone issue

When i get an invite from our west coast office for meeting at 1 pm west coast time and i accept here in east coast time it ends up at 1 pm east coast time instead of adjusting for the three hour difference. any suggestions?

Me too with the same problem. If I move to a different time period (say from Week to Day) after changing the displayed time zone, it does refresh.

Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone Issue:

Howdy! Many of us woke up this morning to be dismayed to find that our iPhone was TWO hours behind instead of falling back one for the Daylight Savings Time adjustment, and were late for church. I have an iPhone 4S, with iOS 5...
I was working at that time of morning, and the initial switch went well. However, when I woke up, the clock was yet another hour behind. A little investigation showed that the Time zone had been changed to Denver (It was previously on Chicaco, and I live in Dallas.) I tried to select it to change it, and it wouldn't allow me. If I turned off the Set Automatically feature, then I could change it, but when I turned the Set Automatically feature back on, it would re-set the time zone to Denver.
I found another thread where they discuss this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16644669
To fix this, put in airplane mode, then back out again, then re-choose your correct time zone. If this doesn't work, then try turning your phone completely off and then on again. Thanks to 4n6doc for the tip!
The airplane mode trick worked for me: I turned airplane mode on, then off, then went to the Date & Time and set my time zone to Dallas, TX while the Set Automatically was off. When I turned the Set Automatically back on, it changed Dallas to Chicago, which is what every iPhone iOS I've ever had has done.

Hi,
Yes this is a correct way to fix the issue. One thing however, how did you set the timezone? For correct daylight saving handling, you'll have to use the long version, like America/New Yorw, NOT GMT-5 (for example).

DateWithTimeIntervalSince1970 and Time Zone issues

Hi
I've got a scenario where I need to take 'dates' in by the user. These dates are then stored into a db using timeIntervalSince1970
However these dates need to be absolute and not influenced by Timezones. So if a user picked 20 Nov 2009 for a Holiday, then travels to the maldives and changes their timezone, constructing the date back in using 'dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970' gives you the wrong date (as timezone could have subtracted hours from 20 Nov Midnight and this ends up as 19 Nov).
What is the best way to solve this problem? I need to able to still store timestamps as unix time intervals rather than strings (which would effectively solve the issue if used with NSCalendar). How can I store these as unix timestamps and still get away with the timezone NSDate issue? Any advice would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

Sure, but my problem is that I need 'date' to always remain the same no matter what timezone it was set from. For example, say the user sets the date from China (+10 for instance) to: 2009-11-10. Now he travels to New York (-10 for instance). He should still see the date as 2009-11-10. I need to show 'localized' dates when the user is setting them from the calendar but then 'pin them down' somehow so that they always remain the same. At the same time, unfortunately I need to store them as unix timestamps for easy db handling/manupulation/sort/post processing etc.
Any ideas?

Calendar Event Invites - Time Zone Issue

Hi all!
I just switched back to BlackBerry from iPhone, and love everything about it so far except one thing: time zone issues on calendar invites.
My work uses an OS X hosted CalDAV server, and I was able to sync my existing calendars to it without issue.
My time zone: Eastern
My coworkers timezone: Central
The Issue: I received an invite from a coworker, and on my Mac, it shows at 1PM Eastern, as it should. The invite was sent for 12PM Central. This same invite appears on my BlackBerry at 7AM Eastern.
Testing completed:
I added an invite on my BlackBerry for 6AM Eastern as a test, and it appeared on my Mac at the correct time without issue.
I added an event on another day from my Mac, and it synced to my BlackBerry without issue.
So it seems that my issue only exists when recieving event invites from others, possibly in different time zones.
My Mac and BlackBerry are both set to Eastern time.
My coworkers Mac and iPhone are set for Central time.
I looked all through the BB settings and cannot find anything that would account for this odd behavior.
I tried a battery pull - same results.
I am on the latest OS available for a Q10: 10.2.1.2976
Can anyone help with this? I would hate to have to go back to iOS for one issue like this, however, an accurate and reliable calendar is critical to my work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this, for a test.
Set your Q10 to GMT Timezone.
Open the calendar, your invtes should be ~5 hours ahead.
Set your TZ back to Eastern.
Check your specific event mentioned above which was at 7am Eastern.
Is it correct now?

Time Zone issue with 7.0 and DB2

Hi,
We are having a time zone issue with weblogic server 7.0 and DB2 database. I would really appreciate if somebody provides a solution for this issue.
Our db2 DB is located in PST time zone and weblogic server is located in EST time zone.
When we access current timestamp from db2, we are getting PST time converted to EST and EST time zone attached with timestamp value.
I tried to use resultset.getTimeStamp (1,<calendar>), unfortunately this method is not supported in the DB2 driver version I am using.
We want to get same value as returned by db2 with db2 time zone not weblogic server time zone.
And also when we add new record with timestamp column through web service, regardless the time zone value sent by web service client ".Net" ,
Weblogic server converts the java.util.Date value to weblogic time zone and stores in the db.
For example, client sent 17:00 hours CST, but when it gets stored in db through weblogic ws, weblogic converts 17:00 to 18:00 EST and stores in database as 18:00 hours without any time zone. When we read this value back, we are getting it 18:00 EST only not 17:00 CST.
This is fine as long as writing and reading by same weblogic server. If another weblogic server instance in PST time zone read this value, it takes as 18:00 PST.
Due to this our application always shows timestamp hours differently.
Could some body help me to fix this problem, we are getting this problem in production after we moved our DB2 location to different time zone.
Thanks
Balaji

New Time Zone Issue with MobileMe Calendar Upgrade

I'm having strange things happen with sending/receiving "invitations" to people in other time zones.
Prior to this MobileMe calendar upgrade, sending/receiving invitations worked fine. I would schedule an event (obviously in my time zone), and if I invite a friend in a different time zone, the event would show up on her Google Calendar at the proper time. Between iCal and Google Calendar, the time zone translation was working properly. Likewise, when she scheduled an event and sent me an invitation, the event showed up in iCal at the proper time for me.
But now, after simply upgrading MobileMe calendar, events from me to her show up at the wrong time! It's as if the time zone translation is no longer occurring. Oddly, events that she sends to me still work correctly.
I have "Turn on time zone support" enabled in iCal, MobileMe calendar, and on the iPhone.
So this very nice feature that was working previously seems to have broken with the MobileMe calendar upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this, or (hopefully) solved it?
Thanks!
Jim

...anyone?

Hey Armando Stettner,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is!
With time zone support on, you can edit an individual event and change the time zone for that event. This list will include options for your default time zones, UTC, and "floating" - the latter of which is what you are looking for. Floating changes the event to occur at the specified time, local time.
For information on changing an event's time zone, see the following resource:
Calendar: Change an event’s time zone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11531
I look forward to hearing how this works for you.
Cheers!

Ical time zone issue - will not change to Floating or let me adjust

I have Calendar 6.0 on OS X 10.8.5 and cannot get the calendar time to adjust from Mountain time. I'm in Arizona where we do NOT change time - one half the year we're the same as California, the other half we're like Colorado. But Calendar has decided I'm Mountain time and no attempt to adjust that has any effect. I have clients in Washington State and Oregon, and clients in Arizona. But I can't have calendar invites or meetings set in anything but Mountain time. It's making me nuts. I can't select Floating either, per one suggestion. Please help!
I went to iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone and tried all they suggested, but nothing works as it says it should. I cannot "set any time zone you want" with time zone support On. The "pop-up option" they mention when Time zone Support is On still does not allow me to select another time zone. Oh - and my iphone 5s shows the time zone as Phoenix, just fyi, with Set Automatically turned on.

Did you turn on time zone support in the Calendar app on your Mac too? Try going to Calendar>Preferences and on the Advanced tab check Turn on Time Zone Support.

Sales Office Master - Country, Region and Time Zone

Dear All,
In one of the Project, for some config-settings, I need to create Sales Offices. Here, Sales Offices is basically the Countries, to which business is happening.
For example,
Jordan
Mexico
Colombia
etc...
Now, while maintaining Sales Office records, System prompts for Sales Office Address. Initally, i maintained Country as per the Sales Office, for example:
For Sales Office Nepal, Country Nepal
For Sales Office Mexico, Country Mexico
etc...
Now, when i checked previously maintained entries in to System, I found that:
For Sales Office New Hampshire, Country India
For Sales Office California, Country India
etc...
When, I inquired about the same to concern Persons, within particular Organization, they are unable to explain, as these entries are maintained by Previous Implementation-Partner.
Can anyone explain, what entry needs to be maintained as Address - Country, Region and Time Zone, for International Offices? Is there particular logic for the same?
Best Reagrds,
Amit

Dear All,
Thanks for the Support, provided.
Let me explain, my scenario, in detail.
I am maintaining Profit Center, in Sales Order, based upon Substitution Rule.
For that, I have to maintain Profit Center, based upon Sales Area and Sales Office combination.
suppose, If my combination is:
1. if Sales Area is 10100107 and Sales Office is Colombia, then Profit center would be X
2. if Sales Area is 10100107 and Sales Office is Mongolia, then Profit center would be Y
Now, Important aspect is all Sales Organizations are maintained under Company Code ABC; and Company ABC is maintained under Country INDIA. Whereas, Sales Offices are both, Domestic, as well as International.
My queries are:
1. What effect has gone be made, if Sales Org is maintained under India and Sales Office, under some other country, in Sales Order?
2. Also, based upon Sales Office, System must pick the Transaction Currency, in Sales Order?
Best Regards,
Amit

I haven't done a lot of work with time zones, but I have some ideas that just
may work. If it is important for this object to pass in and out of time-zones
untouched by the destination try passing it by reference. The idea is that the
actual object will remain in one time zone. You may need to "anchor it down"
somehow where it resides (Make it private, READ_ONLY or ??).
Another thing to try is: If it is passed via a method set the mechanism as
"input". I believe this will stop the destination from changing it. (i.e. It
will receive it as input only).
Just some ideas. Good luck.

Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
First example.
I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
Second example.
I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

I am having a similar problem: invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in: I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST). My settings have my time zone set correctly.
Any help much appreciated.
PS: Using iPad original wit iOS5

TS3920 Time zone issues between iPad and iPhone.

When I add a calendar entry from my iPad it has the correct time zone. But when I go to edit that entry from my iPhone, it has the wrong time zone. My settings have the correct time zone for both devices. What else can I check?

Hello Julie,
I know that Time Zone Support can cause these types of issues. Take a look at teh article below and check the setting on both the iPad and the iPhone.

I'm having time zone issues when sharing calendars

I made a schedule when I was in the Mtn. Time zone. Now here in the Pacific Time Zone it's showing up an hour earlier. Is there a way to change a large number of events to one hour later?

Harvey,
Have you used the "Turn on time zone support" setting in iCal>Preferences...>Advanced?
"Select this checkbox to be able to see your events in different time zones. When the checkbox is selected, you can change the time zone for all your events in the top-right corner of iCal, and you can choose a different time zone for individual events in the event editor."
