Calendar Entries - Time Zones

I just did the software update for my Q10. Now, it is only displaying new calendar entries in my home time zone even when I create them while traveling and I properly designate the current time zone (note--with the new software it "defaults" to my home time zone so i have to change it manually when traveling).
For example: My home time zone is central time. I am current in the Pacific time zone. When I go to make a calendar entry for, say, 2 pm and manually select Pacific time, it nevertheless displays as 4 pm. When I open the entry, it says that the entry was "created in Pacific time but is displayed in local time" (which is obviously not correct--my time zone is auto-updated for Pacific time).
If it matters, I am on an enterprise server.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
iCal does have time zone support. Go to iCal's Preferences > Advanced and select 'Turn on time zone support'.
You can then select the time zone an event is in when you create or edit it. You can also switch the time zone you are viewing as in the top right of iCal's main window.
You cannot have an event in more than one time zone and for flights I suggest you make one event for the departure and another for the arrival.
Best wishes

Calendar Entries/Times Out by 1hour

Hi guys, we've got multiple users with a wide varietry of Blackberry handhelds, Lotus notes has been updated wtih Daylight Savings Time, and we have pushed out a DST Patch from the BES yesterday.However, multiple users have said that their calendar entries are out by approx 1 hour forward from what their Lotus Notes entry is showing.
We are running BES 4.1 and Lotus Domino 7.0.3 across our network.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
- cheers

this is the solution fromanother post
Well, I finally figured it out myself. It is not very intuitive. By double-clicking on the account name in the upper right of the main iCloud window (in one's browser), one can change the time zone. However, by itself that will not cause anything to appear differently. Nor will telling iCloud to refresh the calendar. It is necessary to logout of iCloud and then log back in. That sets all events in the right time zone.

How does Calendar coordinate Time Zones for events?

By clicking a link at my seminar's web site, I told Mountain Lion Calendar to store an upcoming event that takes place in the Pacific Time Zone. I am in the Central Time Zone. If I visit Calendar, the event shows the Pacific Time start. How do I get calendar to show me the Central Time start when I go to Calendar. I don't want to have to guess which is which?

Mail Preferences. I think this is what Kappy is referring to if you haven't found it.

Calendar entry times entered via web browser change to 2 hours later on my Iphone

Why do the event times entered via my web browser into iCalendar change to 2 hours later when viewed on my iPhone?
The settings for date, time and time zone are correct on my Windows 8 laptop and on my iPhone.

Some things to check:
Go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click your name at the top and choose Account Settings, click Time Zone and be sure it shows the correct time zone and that you have selected a city near you. Then open your calendar on icloud.com, click the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, click the Advanced tab and make sure you have not checked time zone support at the top.
On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section) and make sure this is set to Off. On your Mac, open the Calendar app and to to Mail>Preferences>Advances and uncheck “Turn on time zone support”.

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.

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?

IPhone 4S Calendar Event Defaults to Incorrect Time Zone

My iPhone, Win7 PC is set for Eastern Time. I use Outlook/Exchange and the Outlook calendar in Options is set for Eastern Time as well. I never had any issues until recently. My iPhone syncs with the Exchange server using ActiveSync.
A few weeks ago I was out west and changed my Win 7 O/S time zone to Pacific Time. I did not change anything in Outlook or on my iPhone. The iPhone has always been set for “Set Automatically” (Settings/General/Date & Time). Also, in Mail, Contacts and Calendars my Time Zone is Set for Montreal (where I live) with Time Zone Support “On”. I have never changed this from the day I got the iPhone. Whenever I travel the time zone automatically switches. When I came back from the west coast my phone switch back to Eastern as it should and I manually set the Win 7 O/S to Eastern as well.
Now for some reason, when I create a calendar event in Outlook (i.e. on the desktop) the event shows up correctly on the iPhone (example: a meeting for tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern shows up as tomorrow at 2:00PM on the iPhone). However, when I “edit” the calendar event on the iPhone, the time shows up as 11:00AM and the time zone is Los Angeles (3 hours apart from Montreal). You can just imagine how this is causing me havoc as I do business in different time zones and have to reschedule meetings often.
I have tried to set the time zone to something else and then back to eastern or Montreal. It makes no difference. When I create a calendar event directly on the iPhone the default time zone is Montreal and it shows up correctly on both devices.
Any ideas what’s going on?

Hi Song&DanceMan,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Issues with calendar time zone can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Time Zone Support feature may be affecting these events. Please use the attached article for more information on Time Zone Support.

Why do I have two time zones in my calendar?

With a recent move to a new time zone I now have two time zone in my calendar. My area code is in a central time zone but have moved to the east coast.
I have checked my icloud calendar, iPhone settings and each is set to eastern time.

Time Zone Offset - Date Format question

I'm wondering if any one knows how to display the time zone offset of a date in the following format "[+-]HH:mm." More so... I need the date/time in the ISO 8601 format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss[+-]HH:mm", where the last [+-]HH:mm is the hour representation of the offset. Here's some sample code...
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Calendar rightnow= Calendar.getInstance();
// So if system date/time is February 14, 2002 at 1:15:00 PM EST, this would produce "2002-02-14T13:15:00"
System.out.println("Current Datetime" + sdf1.format rightnow.getTime());
How can I get the timezone offset appended to my output in a [+-]HH:mm format. So, the above date needs to look like "2002-02-14T13:15:00-05:00". I can get the offset in milliseconds by doing the following:
int offset1 = rightnow.get(rightnow.ZONE_OFFSET) + rightnow.get(rightnow.DST_OFFSET);
But how can you get this representation into the [+-]HH:mm format?
thanks in advance,
stophman

Try something like this:import java.text.* ;
import java.util.* ;
static public String formatISO8601(Calendar cal) {
     * create ISO 8601 formatter for Calendar objects
    MessageFormat iso8601 = new MessageFormat("{0,time}{1,number,+00;-00}:{2,number,00}") ;
    // need to shove a date formatter that is cognizant of the
    // calendar's time zone into the message formatter
    DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss") ;
    df.setTimeZone(cal.getTimeZone()) ;
    iso8601.setFormat(0, df) ;
     * calculate the time zone offset from UTC in hours and minutes at the current time
    long zoneOff = cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) + cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) ;
    zoneOff /= 60000L ; // in minutes
    int zoneHrs = (int) (zoneOff / 60L) ;
    int zoneMins = (int) (zoneOff % 60L) ;
    if (zoneMins < 0) zoneMins = -zoneMins ;
    return (iso8601.format(new Object[] {
                                cal.getTime(),
                                new Integer(zoneHrs),
                                new Integer(zoneMins)
}

ICal changes times of my events based on Time Zone! Argh!

This is so weird...
I travel btwn NYC and LA, and if schedule an event on my iCal, either on the iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro (all connected via MobileMe), when I change time zones, it changes the time of the event for that time zone. As opposed to keeping it at the correct time that it was actually scheduled at. For example, if I'm in New York City, and create an event for the following week that's taking place at 8pm, when I get to Los Angeles, it tells me the event is at 5pm.
I leave all of my Apple products to Automatically Set Time based on location. Is there something else I should be doing here?
Help!

Go to settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar; then time zone support. Set your time zone.

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.

Understanding Time Zone support in iCal

I'm travelling overseas soon and I want to enter my various appointments so they're correctly displayed in the locations where they'll take place. How do I do this? At the moment the appointments I've entered are displayed as if they're taking place here at home, so a flight that arrives at 9pm in London is shown as arriving 10 hours after that. I suppose the calendar will display correctly when I move to the relevant time zone, but the shifting times are disconcerting. Is it possible to have the appointments actually display all the time at the times I've set regardless of the time zone? In other words, for iCal to leave a 9pm flight arrival at 9pm regardless of the local time? I wonder whether my problem is that I've entered the time before entering the time zone. Maybe if I now re-enter all the various appointments while leaving the time zone correct all will be well. I'm in a conceptual black hole here.

Default time zone in delegated administrator

Hello,
where does commadmin gets default time zone information. When adding users without using -T option users are created with icsTimezone attribute set to America/Denver. The calendar default time zone is set to America/New York.
Thanks.

The box is in the America/CST. I don't think you need to know calendar. It's commadmin that sets this attribute in ldap and for some reason it defaults to America/Denver. I just could not find any default timezone settings for commadmin.
Thank you.

IOS 8.1.2 update wrong time zone in my calandar

Since the update 8.1.2, my iPone is showing all new appointments as GMT time, but the times are wrong each time. I altered them individually and it returns to the good time. In "settings" under calendars, the "Time Zone Override" is selected. So I forced it to the Time zone without any success. It steals in time zone GMT even if I overwrited the time zone. I've tried turning off and repeat the same steps. Same issue. All the dates were created in GMT. I have seen that I'm not the only one having the same issue. Do you have any solution ? Is there a way to communicate with Apple teeling them there is a big issue with the calander? Can you tell me how I can reach them?
Thanks
Cydor007

Quite the same problem here, GMT, UTC.......
Why when they do an update they don't check it completely???
