Calendar appointments and birthdays in contacts appear one day early? iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S

Hello, About a week or two ago, I noticed all my appointments were on my calendar a day early, as well as birthdays in my contacts.  I sync my phone with my Macbook using Address Book and Calendar; had done this previous with my iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 without issue.  I unsynced my calender, and then re-synced it, and this corrected the calendar appointments.  However, birthdays still show up a day early on the calendar.  When I look in Contacts, the birthdays are correct.  Has anyone seen this before?  Thanks! --Matthew

(1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
(2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
(3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
(4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
(5) Sync again.
Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.

  • "All-day" events in iCal appear one day early in week-view on iPad

    Just got an iPad and synced with iCal. I noticed that "all day" events appear correctly in day-view and month-view, but in week-view, they are shifted one day earlier. But if I choose to edit such an event, the information is still correct, e.g. an all-day event for Monday, May 31 and Tuesday, June 1, has that information, and it appears on Monday and Tuesday in day- and month-view, but in week-view, it has "slid left" such that it appears on Sunday and Monday. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?

    I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

  • Why are my "all day" events and birthdays suddently off by one day in my calendars?

    Is this a bug in the apple upgrade that came out last night?

    For different reasons, I have the same question, i.e., can an all day event be made to wrap around to more than one line in a monthly calendar?
    Alternatively, can I make an event without a time included in the print out?
    I'm trying to make a genealogy calendar that includes the date, year and place of births and deaths. Obviously, such events would not include a time of day...or at least not times that I would know.
    Narwhales...did you ever figure out a work around?

  • I have just bought an iMac and when it has sync'd my calendar from my iphone all the appointments are showing on the Mac a day earlier than they appear on my iphone.  Help?

    Hi can anyone help?  I have had an iphone for years now and use my calendar to run my life!  I have just invested in an iMac but when it has sync'd my calendar from my phone all my events are appearing one day earlier.  I have checked the time zone and set it to Apple Europe.  Can anyone help e get this sorted?  Much appreciate any help.

    Helo No Joy,
    It sounds like your events synced to your computer from the phone and they are all an hour out of sync. I recommend verifying that time zone support is turned on with your iCloud calendar if you are using iCloud:
    Use a time zone other than the default
    In iCloud Calendar, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu below the sidebar.
    Click Advanced, select “Enable time zone support,” then click Save.
    With time zone support on, a “time zone” pop-up menu appears when you create an event, letting you set any time zone you want.
    You can also reset the default time zone for your calendars (and their events) at any time.
    From: iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2677
    If not, I would verify that your iPhone date and time are set correctly with the correct time zone support information:
    iOS: How to adjust Time Zone Support for calendars
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4576
    To enable Time Zone Support for calendars
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to Calendars.
    Tap Time Zone Support.
    Slide the slider for Time Zone Support to ON.
    Tap Time Zone.
    Enter your current location or the closest city in the same time zone and tap it when it appears in the results list.
    And I would next verify that this information is correct on your computer as well:
    Choose Calendar > Preferences, click Advanced, then select “Turn on time zone support.”

  • Birthdays on my calendar are one day early

    Has anyone had this issue before?  After I switched over to a 4S from a 3G, I noticed that all my contacts' birthdays are showing up one day early on my calendar.  However, when I go to the contact entry in the address book, it displays correctly there.  What's weird about this issue is that both my mac and ipad display birthdays using the same method and it's correct on both of those.  They all sync via mobileme, and running iOS5 and Snow Leopard.
    Before erasing my phone's contacts, and trying to resync them, I was wondering if this could be fixed via the phone, or the bug isolated and sent up to Apple's software department.
    Thanks!

  • My birthdays appear one day out in the Calendar!

    I've upgraded to an iPhone 4s but my birthdays appear one day out in the Calendar!

    The problem seems to be that the iCloud Time Zone overrides your iphone Time Zone.
    If you are sure that your phone time zone is correct.
    Start iCloud on your computer. Log in with your AppleID and Password.
    Click on your name (top righthand side) in the window I suspect it will show Pacific Time in the Time Zone.
    If like me you live in New Zealand click on Pacific and in the world map click on New Zealand.
    Now New Zealand Standard Time should show in the Time Zone. Click done.
    You will now have to change the birthdays again to the right day in Contacts in iCloud or your Phone for the last time.
    Good luck

  • Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.
    Best wishes

  • Birthday calendar on iPad  one day early with iOS5

    The birthday calendar shows all birthdays one day early after upgrade to iOS5 on original iPad. I have all the automatic time adjustments and location recognition on. What is wrong?

    I have read that this is a bug, here is a fix which has worked for me at least for the time being:
    Here is a process that worked for me to correct the information in Calendars re birthdays appearing one day out:
    (1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
    (2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
    (3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
    (4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
    (5) Sync again.
    Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.
    Thanks to @fortbailey for this. By the way Steff_BKK, is one of your email accounts an Exchange account? (This has been reported as something to do with this bug.)

  • Birthdays show up on the calendar one day early.

    All of the Birthdays that I loaded in the contacts show up one day early on my calendar.  Has anyone else seen this or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    I have no idea why that might occur, all the birthdays and a couple tech sessions that I have in mine appear correrct.

    Not an option if birthday is coming from contacts app, though.

  • Birthdays in Address Book appear 2 days earlier in iCal

    I have the correct birthdays in Address Book. However about half of the birthdays (not all) appear in iCal 2 days before (e.g., Address book has correct date of 7/13 and it shows up in iCal on 7/11).
    How can I correct this?

    I have a similar problem, but only with some of the birthdays. For some reason two appear one day and one year earlier than I have entered them in address book. I would like to know how to sort out the reason for this and correct the errors.

  • Birthday showing up on iCal one day earlier?

    Hi everybody! I am pretty new here. So I hope someone could assist me.
    I have set up my contacts on iPhone 4s with birthday dates. But unfortunately they are
    all showing up one day earlier on my iPhone iCal - they do show up correct in the contacts and also
    on my iCal of my MacBook.... Any ideas? Much appreciated...

    Hey John
    Thanks a bundle, it turned out that was the problem, I was on some kind of pacific time zone,
    Cheers

  • IPhone/iPad calendar holidays show one day early?

    I recently noticed that all of my holidays on my iPad Air and iPhone 5 show one day early.  For example, Christmas shows as being on December 24th.  Every holiday is like this.  I sync with Outlook 2007 and in there are 3 calendars:  "Calendar", "Calendar in iCloud", and "Mobile Calendar in iCloud".  The incorrect holidays are listed under "Calendar in iCloud".  Of course, I can simply uncheck the calendar and the holidays disappear but I'd kind of like them there.  Correctly.  Any suggestions?

    FWIW, I have no such problem.....  Of course, I am "plain vanilla" Apple.

    my iCloud Calender is set with wrong times - every entry appears 8 hours earlier than the equivalent on my iphone Calender. Why? and how do I fixt it?

    use a supported web browser to go to iCloud.com. Click your name (top right) and set you Time Zone to the correct one.
    Hope this helps, Andrew
