Calendar on iOS 6 - GMT Issue

Events created on my iPhone or Mac Calendar appear correctly, however when I attempt to edit them, the timezone is on GMT (not Chicago, where the events were created). The screenshots demonstrate the discrepency. Any ideas?

I have the same issue as Jgraneto.  I have been in contact with Apple.  I was on the phone with several different people for about 4 hours.  My issue was sent all the way up the ladder to the apple engineers.  The suggested solution, after resetting my network settings on the iphone, then resetting all settings, was to reset back to factory settings.  It seemed to work.  However, today my phone is doing it again.  As mentioned by Jgraneto, when I add an event into my google calendar from my iphone it displays on the calendar with the correct time for my time zone but underneath it displays GMT and when I go back into edit mode for the event the times are set in GMT.  This does not happen nor appear on the Google calendar on the web (computer). Interestingly enough, it is not happening on my partners phone and we share the same family account. I have been made aware through apple community forum that many iphone users have been dealing with this issue since the fall of 2014.  No one, including Apple seems to have been able to come up with a solution. I have gone to Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars and the only thing I have access to is Time Zone Override.  My time zone is listed correctly in my phone in this place and under Date and Time.  It makes no difference if Time Zone Override is on or off. This issue is not a major one.  I could overlook it except that each time I want to edit the time I have to tap the Start time, then Time Zone ( which needs to be changed from GMT to my current time zone and that involves searching for it. Then editing my time from the GMT.  It is a bit of a hassel. However, the bigger picture is that every problem should have a solution.  Why can't Apple solve this one if it has been around for a few months?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Yahoo Calendars on iOS 8 - Events in GMT

    I think I have found an issue with using Yahoo Calendars on iOS. When I add an event from the Yahoo Calendar website, the event shows up on the iPhone/iPad with a 5 hour negative offset for me in the EST timezone. For instance, if I add an event for 10:00 AM on the website, it shows up as an event for 5:00 AM on the iOS device. If I edit the event, the times of the event are noted as GMT.
    I'm using iOS 8.1 and iOS 8.1.2. Both devices {iPad and iPhone} behave the same. I have check all timezone setting, both on the devices, the computer, and the yahoo account. They are all set to EST timezone. On the iOS devices, I have tried both the over-ride timezone off and on; No difference. I have deleted and re-installed the account on the iOS devices. Have tried both the CalDAV type calendar account as well as the default Yahoo type account. All behave the same way.
    Anyone have any ideas? Or can anyone confirm this is an issue?

    Found the issue. Turns out yahoo has a timezone for the calendar as well as the account. It's NOT sufficient to set the timezone on your yahoo account. You also have to set the timezone on the calendar. You need to select the "Calendar Options" under settings. Warning, this can be a bit of a challenge on some browers beacuse the "Calendar Options" only shows up when the calendar is selected ... most of the time

  • 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?

  • No calendars updating (iOS 8)

    Since I've loaded iOS 8, no calendars updating between my iPad mini, my iPhone 5C and my MacBook, however, I've understood updating between devices was something proposed by Apple.

    Hello there, swing78.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for troubleshooting iCloud calendars on your iOS devices:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
    Particularly for iOS devices:
    Troubleshooting on iOS devices
    First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud Calendar by tapping Settings > iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then check that Calendars is turned on.
    If you are having trouble with the Calendar app on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Make sure you've updated to iOS 5 or later. If your issue isn't resolved, try installing the latest version of iOSsupported by your device. For instructions on setting up iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup.
    Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com in Safari. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in your Calendar application. Learn how to troubleshoot your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Calendar requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    If recent changes don't appear, try to refresh your calendars:
    In iOS 7, open Calendar and tap the Calendars tab to load the Calendars list, then pull down on the list to refresh.
    In iOS 6 or iOS 5, open Calendar and tap Calendars in the top-left corner to load the Calendars list. Then tap the Refresh button in the lower-left corner of the Calendars list window.
    If you've recently made changes to your contacts' birthdays and are not seeing those changes reflected in your Birthdays Calendar, try to refresh your calendars. If you made the changes in the Contacts app on your Mac or at iCloud.com, it may take up to an hour for those changes to appear on your other devices.
    If you add new events on your iOS device, but they do not update on iCloud.com or your other devices, confirm that you've added the event to an iCloud calendar:
    In iOS 7, open Calendar and tap the event to view the Event Details. Tap the calendar name to confirm that you've saved the event to an iCloud calendar.
    In iOS 6 or iOS 5, open Calendar and tap the event to view the Event Details. Tap Edit > Calendar to confirm that you've saved the event to an iCloud calendar.
    You may want to verify your default calendar settings. If you want to create new events in an iCloud calendar, set that calendar to be your default calendar. You can modify Default Calendar settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Calendar.
    If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Calendar app:
    Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
    Find the Calendar preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
    Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
    Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
    If you're using iOS 6 or iOS 5, quit and restart the Calendar app:
    Press the Home button.
    Double-click the Home button to open the multitasking menu.
    Tap and hold the Calendar icon until it jiggles.
    Tap the "X" to remove Calendar from the list.
    Press the Home button to go back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
    Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Change the Sync settings for your calendars:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Under Calendars, tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Events, set it to a specific duration, such as Events 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Events.
    Tap the Home button. Wait several minutes, then open Calendar and try to refresh your calendars again.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Tap Settings > iCloud.
    Turn off Calendar. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/calendar or on one or more of your computers. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
    Wait a few minutes before turning Calendar back on.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Calendar on iOS 7

    Is there a way to view an entire day at once on my calendar in iOS 7 without toggling up and down? What about viewing a week at a time without toggling between individual days? The new calendar is SO laborious, I will give up my iphone rather than buy the 5 if I can't work this out.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure what you mean by "toggling", scrolling maybe?  If you don't like the built in calendar, there are lots of others that will use the same data and sync the same way. Some that I like are Week Cal (which has a month view like iOS 6), Cal and Fantastical. There are lots more.
    Best of luck.

  • Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

  • Google calendar and iOS 8 - no longer synchronizing

    Updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 8 and suddenly my gmail calendar is no longer synchronizing on the phone.  I've already done the restore to factory settings because after the upgrade to iOS 8, my phone lumped a bunch more files into "other" which weren't there prior to the upgrade.  I restored as new and added all my email accounts again and calendar is turned on for my gmail account.
    On my MBP, my calendar is set up sans the email, and it's still all there, synchronizing perfectly.  Can't figure out what's up with the phone or why it won't work.  I've also removed the email account, re-added (for a grand total of two times) and nada.  Zip.  Zilch.  Calendar won't sync and phone will not acknowledge the gmail calendar when adding an event.
    Anyone else having this problem?  I've used my work calendar on this phone for 2+ years without issue.
    Thanks,

    i realize this is a naive question, but i've never had problems with iPhones syncing before. i just gave up my 4s with iOS 5 and now have an iPhone 6, iOS 8. Everything seemed to be working well since i got the phone in late November, until a couple of days ago, and now i'm having the problem raised in this discussion and a couple of others. 
    Starting a couple of days ago, i found that when i entered a new event in the iPhone calendar, it did not sync with iCal, or iCloud.  I also found that my iCloud storage was full, and eventually figured out that that was because my phone had automatically backed itself up to iCloud twice, at 2.4G each, which used up most of my 5G iCloud storage.  ??  I never had this problem before. So i thought maybe that's why the data stopped syncing. i deleted one of the backups and turned off 'back up' in the iCloud settings. But no success.
    Then i discovered that Contacts were still syncing--if i entered a new contact on the iPhone, it showed up in iClound/iCal.  So only Calendar was not syncing.
    Another member of these forums suggested i make sure that iCloud was set as my default calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar. 
    in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendars, there are two default calendar headings. One is iCloud, and under that heading are 8 sub calendars (Home, Finance, Pets, Family, etc). The second heading is my gmail address which is my Apple ID, and under the heading there is one option, which is my gmail username.  That is checked as my default calendar.  There is no way to select iCloud as my default calendar. The heading is not selectable. If i want to choose an iCloud default calendar, my only choices are to pick one of the 8 sub calendars--which seems crazy to me. Why would i want to pick Pets, for example, to use as my default calendar? What's the point of having all those sub calendars?  i never used them as calendars. i just used them to color code the different categories. 
    Anyway, i experimented with changing my default calendar from my gmail username under my gmail address heading, to one of the sub-calendars under the iCloud heading.  At random, i chose the Home "calendar."  Its color is blue. 
    None of my entries of the past couple of days showed up. 
    In January, i had entered three dental appointments.   They did not have a color code because i had just used the gmail username as my default calendar. They were a sort of salmon color, apparently the default color of this calendar.  I changed one of the dental appointments to Home and voila, it showed up in January where it was supposed to be.
    But how crazy is this?   iCloud is forcing me to choose one of these 8 sub calendars as my default calendar, so that all of my events, regardless of their correct category, becomes part of the one category i have been forced to choose?  What's the point of having 8 different choices if only one of them can sync with iCloud?
    At this point, i have tried one suggestion here, toggling my gmail account calendar off and back on.  It didn't work  I guess i will now do a reset but i am hesitating because i'm afraid i will lose data and settings and will have to put a lot more time into trying to get it set back up. It IS the main account i use and i hate to mess with it or delete it.  Why is this happening?   Everything was fine until a couple of days ago.
    I went to the link posted by gosleg above.  That was a dead end because at that link, under "Select Calendars to sync to your iPhone," it only has one choice under My Calendars, and the email address (account) it shows is not my gmail address.  this has been a confusing problem i've struggled with with Google for a long time.  Before there was gmail, my google account used my then main email address, which is a roadrunner address, which i still have but don't use much.  So that is the only "calendar" that is listed under My Calendars at gosleg's link.  The check box is checked and it's grayed out.  i can't uncheck it. 
    So i don't know if resetting my iPhone will even help with this. 
    i only know that with my 4s with iOS 5, everything worked correctly, effortlessly, easy, and after i updated to the new phone, everything worked fine for the first 3 weeks or so, and then suddenly i started having calendar problems.
    Calendar problems (possibly related):
    1. entries of events in Calendar don't sync to iCloud, though contacts do
    2. entries in Calendar show Greenwich Mean Time, it will enter both local time zone AND gmt, two entries on one day. Despite being set to use my local time zone in settings, it wants to make sure i know what the GMT is for all my entries.
    3. iOS forces me to have alerts for Calendar entries when i don't want any. Even though in settings i have default alert time set to none, and because it's set to none, when i am entering an event, i scroll down to alerts and can see it says None, when i click add to add the even, and then open the event back up, it shows an alert for 30 minutes.  It does this every time.  i have to turn it off. 
    When asked Apple about this bug, i was told i just needed to reset my iPhone.  I don't think i have ever reset any iPhone i have and it scares me.  I don't want to change it to factory settings, i don't want to have to go through everything and re-enter information. Do i risk losing anything?

  • Is there a way to create more than 2 categories in calendar with ios 6?

    i am having issues with the calendar after upgrading to ios 6.
    firstly, it wiped all my previously created events off my phone...
    and now i can only choose between two categories of events?
    whereas with ios 5, i could choose a variety of events (i.e., school, work, leisure).
    if someone could help, i'd greatly appreciate it!
    thank you!

    Go into the environment window and create new audio objects. In the parameter settings for each audio object, you can assign them to new aux channels. Every time you assign a new aux channel, Logic will allocate more aux channels for you to use (up to 64).

  • Address Book Server and iOS Default Account Issue

    I have a really strange issue with a Lion Server. 10.7.5
    There are several user accounts on the machine some are local, some are OD accounts. For the most part they work just fine.
    Mail and Calendar accounts seem to be ok and indeed when you set up the Address book account this also work and syncs in both directions.
    Here is the odd issue: For certain accounts, iOS devices do not seem to register them to be available to set as default. The device can use them properly, they do sync fine, if you hit 'import SIM contacts' they will show up as options to choose as the destination account, but if you have iCloud and another contact account set up, they do not show up as options to be chosen as the default contacts account. If they are the only contact accounts, then the 'Set Default Account' option does not even appear in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings under Contacts. It appears fine under Calendars and Mail.
    When I installed more than one of the 'faulty' accounts on a single iOS device, then deactivated all but one, the Default Account option reappeared (there was also an iCloud account present), but it soon disappears on its own.
    Has anyone seen this before?
    I'm at a bit of a loss.

    You should see a "CardDAV" option in the AccountType popup in AddressBook.app. That is what you need to select to use AddressBook Server on OS X 10.6.
