Calendar Time Problem

Hi, When I sync mi iphone 3gs with outlook 2007 calendar, it does, but the time for the event on my iphone shifts by one hour. Example: I create an appointment for today at 3:00PM on outlook, after the sync, it appears at 4:00PM on my Iphone and vice versa: if I create the same appointment on my iphone at 3:00PM, after the sync, it appears at 2:00PM on outlook. I tried everything but nothing worked.
Please Help

Hi pwmgen,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below and make sure the Time Zone Support settings aren't causing the issue that you are seeing on your iPhone.
iOS: How to adjust Time Zone Support for calendars
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4576
When using Calendar on an iOS device, such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you may notice that Time Zone Support is on by default. Depending on how you intend to use your iOS device, you may wish to either leave Time Zone Support on or disable it.
Time Zone Support is on by default for calendars on iOS. You can check and adjust this setting in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Calendars > Time Zone Support.
Time Zone Support will allow you to create and view events in a time zone other than the one currently used by your iOS device (other than the one your clock is set to). If you do not use Time Zone Support, your iOS device will default to the current clock setting. iOS devices that are location aware will automatically set their time zone, date, and time using Location Services. You can verify your current date and time settings in Settings > Date & Time.
To disable 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 OFF.
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.

OS X Calendar Time Problem

Hi all,
I have a problem and I don't find any help on the net:
Each time I'm entering a new entry in my iCal / Kalender on OS X,
the time automatically changes on UTC (-2hrs)
An example
I'm entering: Dinner@home 19-22
For a short time it's listed as wished and then suddenly changed
on UTC with the new time 17 - 20.
I checked my system preferences but everything is fine.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you.renato

Hello curiousabout,
It sounds like there may be a setting toggled that we do not necessarily want. In Calendar > Preferences > Advanced, there is an option for "Turn on time zone support".
Calendar: Calendar Advanced preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11546
When this checkbox is selected, you can change the time zone for all events in the top-right corner of Calendar, and you can choose a different time zone for individual events.
The other symptom that might be occurring is if you are syncing this calendar with a service like iCloud, but you have a different time zone setup for that service. To change your time zone for iCloud, see the following article:
iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2677
Thanks,

IPhone calendar time problem post daylight savings time change

Addendum to the similar post about a one hour differential between iCal and iPhone. THis is not just iCal. I have the same problem on WIndows XP/Outlook 2003. Everythign worked fine until the time change last weekend. Now this is what happens:
Any meeting set up in Outlook BEFORE Daylight Savings that has a start date BEFORE Daylight Savings appears properly on iPhone. FOr example, every Thursday beginning Nov 1 at 8am. THis shows up correct in iPhone at 8am for today, Nov 8.
But, any meeting set up AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour later on the iPhone when I sync. SO a meeting I set up in OUtlook for 10am today shows up at 11am on the iPhone.
And, any calendar event I set up on the iPhone AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour earlier in Outlook 2003.
THis is a huge problem for me! Both of my calendars are wrong now. PLease help!!! I have tried everything I can:
I tried setting up meetings with the OUtlook Daylight Savings setting enables and disabled: no change. No differnce whether I set up the meeting on my PC or it is an invitation from someone else. I lost all sync history. no change. I overwrote all calendar content (in iPhone advanced options) - no change.
And, as my fellow poster mentions - the tiime on the two systems match.

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

Calendar Time Issue

I'm having a problem with viewing appointments in my calendar, and since I live in Saskatchewan we don't change our time, and the rest of the phone, including the main time on the phone are correct.
My issue is the "day view" shows everything an hour ahead, including the red line listing 4:18 PM, it's only 3:18 PM.
Also every appointment is listed an hour ahead, had one this morning at 8 AM and it shows 9 AM in the day view.
Even more confusing is when I click and open that calendar item, it shows the correct start time of 8 AM.
Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
This is very annoying to say the least, especially with all appointments now being one hour ahead in the day view on the calendar...
My time zones settings are correct in the System Settings/Date and Time it is set to Saskatchewan (-6).

By changing my time display to 24 hours, under Settings/Date and Time and then moving the slider to ON for 24-Hour TIME, the calendar time view issues have disappeared.
Unfortunately the text messages are still out by an hour when viewing them individually. The time is correct on the main page when "conversations" are listed and the most recent text message is displayed, but going into each conversation each text message there displays an hour later than it should.
Hopefully this is something that BlackBerry is working on for the next update to the z10 software.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Vista Calendar time zone shift

Windows Vista, current updates
Nokia PC Suite 6.85.14.1
Phone is Nokia 6120c
Connected by USB
Vista is set to timezone (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Phone is set to
Time Zone: Local time
Network operator time: Auto-update
Sync settings are
Contacts to Windows Contacts
Calendar to Windows Calendar
The problem:
A calendar item is entered on the phone. When it is synchronised to the computer, the appointment appears in Windows Calendar with a time 10 hours later.
A calendar item is entered on Windows Calendar. When it is synchronised to the phone, the phone shows it at the correct time.
After you synchronise a few times, a calendar appointment appears can appear multiple times with +10 hour, +20 hour etc.
What needs to be done to make the phone / Nokia PC Suite and Windows Calendar think they are using the same time zone, instead of shifting all phone calendar appointments by 10 hours when synchronising?

I have exactly the same problem. My N80 syncs OK with Mac OSX iCal but gets confused by Vista's calendar.
Changing the recurring items in Windows Calendar to have a time zone of "floating" seemed to help a little - they are now only 1 hour out instead of 10(or 11).
It seems that the experts in the northern hemisphere are not interested in this problem at this time of year. Maybe we should post the problem again in a few months.

Can anyone help me determine why iCloud changes the calendar time of appointments.

Here's my situation: i use an iphone registered/acquired in spain. the phone is unlocked and now carries a t-mobile card, as i am currently in nyc, but all my calendar appointments have a 6 hour time difference from those entered on my mac and vice versa. there are several threads about this issue, all of which point to the various hardware and software settings (time zone support on or off on the iphone as well as on the app on mac and phone). another user mentioned the setting provided for in the icloud calendar function itself, where the proper time zone can be modified. all to no avail, i stil get my 6 hour time difference.
anyone please?
thanksamillion!

Thank you fromsouth, for your interest, but it didn't help.
I have 3 scenarios: Entering an appointment on the mac's calendar, on the phone's, and on iCloud's calendar. If I enter an appointment on the mac, it shows up correctly on iCloud, but is off by 6 hours on my phone's app. If I enter it on the phone's app, it will be off on iCloud and therefore off too on the mac. I've deleted the app (I use WeekCal, but see the same discrepancies on the iCal app) and reset it all new, but the problem prevails. Unlike my earlier assumption that the problem lies with iCloud, I now believe it is in the phone, although wouldn't know where. I see that the iCal app on OS has the ability to adjust for the time zone. When entering the event on the phone, it gets syncronized on the Mac at the phone's time zone, which for some reason appears to be set at my original Spanish setting (GMT+1), even after I reset the time zone to NY. I can manually adjust the calendar time zone setting on my Mac to EST to correct the time for the appointment.
Quite frustrating!

Google Calendar/iPhone Calendar Time Missmatch

So I've synced my google calendar with my iPhone and all the events are listed 2 hours earlier on the iPhone calendar. I've tried deleting the account and re syncing using the goole set up and CalDAV pathways.
Syncing the same goole calendar to my MacBook has no problems.
But, I have the same problem syncing my google calendar to my iPad.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with this problem.

Check Settings>General>Time and Date
and
Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support.
Turn "Time Zone Support" to OFF or ensure the Time Zone is correct.
Props to John Chavez for the answer.

Calendar time got shifted during travel

I live in LA and I travel to Chicago and NY for business, that's three different time zones involved. I was using Exchange Active Sync before, the time zone support on the iPhone was turned OFF. When I entered an event for 9:00 AM, it showed 9:00 AM no matter which city / which time zone I was in.
However, recevently I turned off Exchange and switched to MobileMe, then a nightmare started.
Appreantly it adjusted time for me automatically according to the difference between the time zone where I entered in and where I was viewing it. When I was in NY, I enter 9:00AM for an appointment which will happen in Chicago, when I arrived Chicago, it shifted to 8:00 AM.
I do not appreciate this auto shift because it affects a lot of my event including flights! Ii did not find a way to fix it, any suggestion would be appreciated!

I have the same problem. You can change the time-zone support on and off from settings -> Mail, Contacts and Calendar. But that doesn't really help a lot. At least didn't help me. I have no idea who would find this calendar that chances the times automatically usefull. I would call it a nightmare!
I travel a lot around the globe in many different timezones, and therefore I can't use the calendar times no more. If I need to put my flight-scedule to my calendar I must write the times somewhere else. For instance with connecting flights, three different timezones during one trip it's impossible to write down the scedule to iPhone. It's a huge problem for me. I usually make the schedule of trips when in another time-zone but when I finally come to the location, the times have changed.
I want a calendar that doesn't chance any times automatically. I really need a calendar I can trust! If I write that my flight is leaving at 9pm, I want it to be like that in my calendar even if I wasn't in the same time zone yet.
Please apple, take this time-zone madness away!

E70 calendar & time zones

Here's a scenario:
- I'm working at my office in Helsinki
- I've got a meeting in, say, San Francisco on 10.12. at 14:00
- I enter the meeting on the calendar 10.12. 14:00
- I travel to US
- I change the clock time zone to San Francisco (10 hours behind
Helsinki)
- The calendar says that the entries have been updated
- My meeting is now 10.12. 4:00 AM
How do I turn off the completely catastrophic calendar time updates? This renders the handy time zone support completely useless.
Please don't even try to say that I should have scheduled the meeting at 11.12. 0:00 in the first place.
Thanks,
harri

I have the same problem with my E63.
I tried finding a practical way. I tried being raving mad about this... and it did not help.
The only way I found say for plane schedule is. for example.
put dep lon at LON time and put in text something like dep LON at 12:00
change you phone time to say Cairo. Put the time of arrival in the appointment time but put in the text as well (ex: arrival Cairo 15:50 12/4/11) (same for you departure )
switch the phone to next destination time. say HKG, put you appointment at the local time but put the time also in the text. (ex: arrival HKG 03:30 pm.....//. meeting with HQ HKG at 11:30 am.)
Then switch you phone back to London time.
The only alternative is the same but with correcting the appointment time mentally to translate it in LON time before entering, but still mentionning the actual local time in the text for permanent reference.
Thsi is a very time consuming process, prone to making errors. But it is the only way I could find around this absurdity.
Ta least the alarms will be ringing at the right time, and the references will be in the text and not subject to changes by the phone, and you can keep automatic time change.

Ipad/iphone shifts calendar times +1hr after syncing with Outlook or ical

Hi,
I am having a problem when I sync my (PC) outlook calendar to my iphone(OS4.1) or ipad.(And my wife is having exactly the same problem when she syncs her iphone/ipad with her macbook pro (she uses ical/snow leopard)).
I live in a time zone that is GMT +3hrs. There is no summer time change here. Both devices are set to GMT +3Hrs with no summer time changes / daylight savings.
Every month I upload a calendar electronically to Outlook (from a program called Roster2Outlook) and occasionally enter some data into it manually on my PC and on my iphone/ipad.
The problem is this:-
When I sync my PC with my iphone/ipad the times on the iphone/ipad are always 1 hour later than displayed on my calendar in outlook on my PC. I then have to modify the times on my iphone and take off 1hour. If I enter an event on my iphone it appears in my calendar in Outlook 1 hour earlier (after a sync).
I get several monthly changes to my schedule and then when I update my outlook calender and sync it to my iphone again, all the times appear 1Hr later on my iphone and have to be manually adjusted.
This may seem trivial, but when one event is added on one device and it shows up at a different time on another device, it gets very confussing, as you never know which time is correct in your calendar, as it depends on which device you entered it and whether you synced it or not! I am tearing my hair out.
I also sync my calandar to my ipad, which appears to be doing the same thing.
So, to cut a long story short, any idea's why this is happening and how to fix it? (Please don't tell me I have the wrong time zone set on a device - because I haven't - they are all on the same time zone!)
I did have an idea that I could "shift" the calendar that I electronically upload to Outlook back by 1 Hour, so that the times would be 1Hr wrong in outlook but correct on my iphone and ipad (the devices that I predominantly use) but this still doesn't solve the problem of it being a bodge!
Any ideas / solutions much appreciated. Anyone else having this problem?
Please help!
Cheers,
i eye.

I figured out my iPad sync issue. First of all, I swore up and down I had all my time zone preferences set correctly in both google calendar and on my iPad. I was wrong.
There are two places in google calendar that can cause an issue:
(1) Settings>Calendar Settings>General
(2) Settings>Calendar Settings>Calendars>[Individual Calendar]
There are two places on the iPad to check:
(1) Settings>General>Date & Time (however I think this might not do anything because.....)
(2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support (this was the elusive one for me)
But It's fixed now and I'm happy.

Calendar time changed when sync between itouch and mac

7:30am event on my mac changes to 4:30am on my itouch. Everything is 3 hrs early! I am sure time zone is right. Does anyone know what's the problem? Thanks.

I have had same issue & the Apple store even swapped my Touch over lst week, with no change in result. However, I found this today in one of the forum threads:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Time Zone Support>New York
See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1921463&tstart=240 for "owner" of this solution!

Calendar time zone on iOS 7

the time zone has disappearead on the calendar after updating to ios 7, how can it be defined? I travel a lot and this feature was very helpful in avoiding errors.

You have to enable Time Zone Support under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section at the bottom). If you enable the setting while you are in the middle of creating an event, you have to cancel and re-create it.
Now, when you create a new Calendar entry, it will have a Time Zone field under the End time setting.

Calendar times off by 1 hour

Updated to new version of iTouch software today. After process was complete all of my calendar entry times for my corporate email account are off by 1 hour.

Some things you can check to troubleshoot this include:
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. If you have a Mac, open the Calendar app and to to Mail>Preferences>Advances and uncheck “Turn on time zone support”.

3)Go to COMS ADD IN and you should now be able to CHECK MARK the OUTLOOK ITUNES SYNC ADDIN.
Click OK all the way back to OutLook AND SYNC.
If it worked for you, kindly leave me good feedback. Happy 4th everyone.
Philippe
