Calendar timezones

Here's a fun one: I recently moved from the East Coast to the West Coast. I turned on "Time Zone Support" in iCal and made everything PST, where I am. But when I sync to my iPhone, it adds three hours and puts everything in EST. I can't find a way to tell the phone that it's now a Californian and no longer a New Yorker. Any suggestions?

Try reseting the iphone by holding down the power button on top and the home button at the same time until you see an apple logo.

  • Bug In Java 5 Date/Calendar Timezone Implementation (possibly 6 also)

    Hey All,
    Really been scratching my head over a date issue I've observed for a while now in relation to TimeZone handling in java.
    It first manifested itself as strange behaviour in my Default TimeZone "Europe/Dublin" (ie. GMT with DST)
    e.g:
    System.setProperty("user.timezone", "Europe/Dublin");
    Date epoch=new Date(0);
    System.out.println("Epoch:"+epoch);
    yields:
    Epoch:Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 GMT 1970
    1AM (BUG???????)
    If I set the TZone above to GMT it outputs correctly as
    Epoch:Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 1970
    As there is no offset from GMT I can only think that DST is being handled incorrectly around the epoch. (even though it is not in DST on Jan 1st)
    So I wrote the following test using calendars to test my theory.
              System.setProperty("user.timezone", "UTC");
              Calendar test=Calendar.getInstance(); //will use the user.timezone
              Calendar test2=Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Dublin"));
              for (int year=1965;(year<=1975);year++){
                   test.clear();test2.clear();
                   test.set(year, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
                   test2.set(year, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
                   System.out.println("UTC:"+ test.getTime()+ " --- EU/Dub:"+test2.getTime());
    Which yields the following interestingly inconsistent output (BUG?????)
    UTC:Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1965 --- EU/Dub:Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1965
    UTC:Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1966 --- EU/Dub:Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1966
    UTC:Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1967 --- EU/Dub:Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1967
    UTC:Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1968 --- EU/Dub:Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1968
    UTC:Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1969 --- EU/Dub:Tue Dec 31 23:00:00 UTC 1968
    UTC:Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1970 --- EU/Dub:Wed Dec 31 23:00:00 UTC 1969
    UTC:Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1971 --- EU/Dub:Thu Dec 31 23:00:00 UTC 1970
    UTC:Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1972 --- EU/Dub:Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1972
    UTC:Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1973 --- EU/Dub:Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1973
    UTC:Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1974 --- EU/Dub:Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1974
    UTC:Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1975 --- EU/Dub:Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1975
    Strange - ehh? 1969->1971 all have issues with the Jan 1st date!!!!
    In fact theres issues for every day that DST is not in operation on these years... (BUG????)
    I'm part of a project that will be handling data from all Timezones and as such we have chosen
    to use UTC as our server time. We are now quite concerned what other bugs/strange behaviours
    lurk beneath the surface of the java implementation.
    Note we have tested various JDK's and they seem to be consistently inconsistent!
    If anyone can confrim this bug/issue or shed any light it would be most appreciated,
    G.

  • Outlook Calendar Timezone bug

    I am having an issue with displaying the time on the calendar after the daylight saving apply to the Pacific Timezone.
    I have Outlook Version 14.0.7113.5005 (32-bit) installed on the Window 7 32 bit machine.
    I tried the Time Zone Daylight Saving Update Tool that Microsoft provided, but it doesn't seem like it works for me.
    Anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First please make sure your Windows and Office are both fully patched.
    I also suggest you confirm that the time zone settings for your computer's system clock and your Outlook Calendar are the same.

  • Utilities - Calendar, TimeZone, Date, etc.

    Could someone tell me why my code is not returning the correct month and day? When I run the program, I got the month as 5 and the day as 3, when it's actually 6 (June) and 11 (day).
    Thanks!
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
    public class DateTest {
         public DateTest() {
              GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
              TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York_City");
              cal.getInstance(tz, Locale.US);
              String timeZone = tz.getID();
              int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
              int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
              System.out.println(month);
              System.out.println(day);
              System.out.println(timeZone);
              // System.out.println(cal.toString());
              // SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat();
         public static void main( String[] args) {
              new DateTest();
    }

    It's weird I know, but this is how it goes: Months start at 0. So 0 would be January, 1 Feb, etc. Don't ask me why. The reason why you're getting 3 is because it's the third day of the week. Try changing it to this.
    int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);And that should work. Add one to the month, that's just a terrible idea on their part in my opinion, but that's how it goes.

  • ICloud Calendar Timezone and Refresh

    Perhaps another iCloud bug here...
    I travel a lot, and cross a lot of time zones.  It'd be nice if my iCloud calendar could keep up with me!
    What I appear to have discovered, is that even though I change the timezone on my Mac (Sys Prefs Date/Time), and change the timezone in my iCloud preferences, the iCloud Calendar will not refresh itself to show the proper days or times....doesn't refresh if I hit the refresh-calendar button, either.
    In order to get the event to properly refresh, I must first double-click the event, and then close the event.... A bit of a pain if there are a couple dozen events needing changing in each timezone...
    iCal on the iPad and iPhone does not seem to have this problem.
    Thoughts?  Fixes?
    I'm submitting feedback to Apple on this...
    Bob

    Update...
    The refresh button on the calendar does not work... 
    However, after making a timezone change, if I refresh the calendar page by clicking "Reload Page" on Safari, the calendar then properly reloads with the proper timezone changes for the events on that calendar...

  • Calendar / Timezone question for anyone in Arizona

    I was just looking at my calendar for next week and noticed that all items are 1 hour earlier than they should be.  My first thought was that the timezone was set incorrectly (Arizona doesn't observe DST).  In fact when I went to Settings -> General -> Date & Time with Set Automatically On it shows me in Cupertino.  If I turn Set Automatically Off and type in Phoenix for the Timezone next weeks calendar is correct.
    Not sure what else I should do to get the phone to automatically put me in the right timezone.  I've made sure Setting Time Zone is on under location services.  Went outside to make sure I had a good GPS signal while toggling Set Automatically On and Off.
    Anyone in AZ or any other place that doesn't observe DST seeing similar issues?

    Hey Dark,
    Follow Allan's advice. You might just find an "Easy Out" that will fit perfectly. Otherwise you'll have to drill it out a bit to get a grip. There is a liquid that had carborundum grit in it that I've used with success.
    One heads up, that power button lead is really tiny and can be easily ripped out. You have to detach it before the outer case is more than 5" or so off.

  • Calendar & TimeZone problem

    Im developping a mobile application where the mobile devices and the SAP server are in a different timezone.  I have tried a couple of things to do that but nothing seems to work..
    We are using:
    CrEme J2ME(tm)
    CrEme V3.25 (=> Personal Java 3.1)
    Mobile Engine version: ME 2.1 SP 03 Patch 00 Build 200403030929
    I know this is rather old, but this is only a port of an existing application so I would rather not change the setup.
    In the business object we have:
    public void setSddat(Calendar sddat);
    This was called in the originally application like this:
    zitm004.setSddat(new GregorianCalendar());
    Now with different timezones i have tryed to change the timezone of the GregorianCalendar().
    TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("ECT");
    Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();        
    calendar2.setTimeZone(tz);
    zitm004.setSddat(calendar);
    This is not working.  However following code showed me the right time:
    TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("ECT");
    Date now = new Date();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();       
    sdf.setTimeZone(tz);               
    Log.log(Log.DEVELOP_LEVEL,"sdf.format(now):" + sdf.format(now)); 
    I also tried setting the timezone in MobileEngine.conf using:
    MobileEngine.Sync.Timezone=ECT or
    MobileEngine.Sync.Timezone=Europe/Brussels
    This is not working, and i think my mobile engine does not support this setting yet as i dont see anything about timezone appearing in the trace.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Hannes

    hi hannes,
    can you try using:
    Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("ECT"));
    or try adding
    calendar.setTimeZone(tz);
    calendar.getTime(); //<<--- added line
    zitm004.setSddat(calendar);
    i remember there was a bug in the Calendar implementation in the early JDK1.1
    which is the base of Personal Java. (something related to the setTimeZone method
    that doesn't do the recalculation until the getTime method is invoked.)
    not sure if it works but might worth a try.

  • Fix calendar timezones for appointments made prior to timezone change?

    I have been tasked with building some new Citrix servers.
    One of our test users is in another time zone and was using our old citrix environment.
    He had a number of appointments that he had made in his calendar.
    For some reason the policy I had set for taking the time zone information from the clients system did not take effect and as he was the only outside tester, he didn't tell me for nearly a week. 
    Now I have the policy working in Citrix, and the time zone is working for all NEW appointments  - however all OLDER appointments made prior, including the ones that were set on the OLD citrix system (which was not having the time zone problem) are all
    stuck to the local time zone of our main branch.
    Is there a powershell command or exchange setting I can set for this individual to retro-actively re-set all his calendar objects back to his appropriate time zone?
    Our environment: Mix of Server 2012 R2 and Server 2008 R2
    Email Server: Exchange 2010
    Email/Calendar Client: Outlook 2010

    It's alright, just before the end of my shift last night I found a "solution"
    There is a tool offered by Microsoft to that will allow the user to fix settings for their outlook in relation to time zone. Once installed it has two options - 1) User is permanent moved to a new time zone, and 2) Time zone fix patch.  It
    was a matter of choosing the first option, selecting the incorrect timezone, selecting the correct time zone, and it completed it in no time.
    Its difficult to explain, but it worked - at least it fixed his outlook calendar.
    The app is called Microsoft Office Outlook Time Zone Move
    64 bit -
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=16271
    32 bit -
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=17291
    It installs to the start menu.
    As I our users connect to server via Citrix, it was necessary for me to do this on the connecting/destination server itself where the application is hosted.
    You will also need to be logged in and run this AS THE AFFECTED USER, with administrative rights (right click, run as administrator). Even though it gives you an option to select a user, it didn't work right for me.
    Also note, I had tracked down the GPO that was causing a bit of a flip flop with my Citrix settings in regards to time zone redirection - it was located in a GPO that was at a higher level with timezone redirection turned to disabled,  I had it enabled
    in the GPO governing our terminal servers, and the setting was active in Citrix Delivery Sevices Console. What resulted was the time zone flip flopping between Central Standard Time (where our servers are located) and Eastern Time (where this client was located).
    This was happening for a day or two until I figured this out. Really didn't make any sense because order of operations should have had it work or not work, not bounce somewhere in between.  Set the time zone redirection to not-configured
    in the offending GPO, and blamo. It's been working solid for the client for the past 5 hours now and he says the issue is fixed, so I'm chalking it up to that as its really the only thing I've changed so far.

  • Calendar timezone issues

    I am currently having an issue with the calendar and timezones.  Back in September I imported in Outlook the schedule for a sports team that I follow.  Even though the team is in the Eastern timezone, Outlook adjusted the start and end times for my timezone, the Atlantic timezone (one hour ahead of Eastern).  I recently had to make a trip out West and through my carrier the times changed in my iPhone.  Low and behold so did the times in my calendar to match the timezone that I was in.  That's great, it all appears as though it is working as designed.  Upon my return however, even though the times and timezones changed, the entries in my calendar are still stuck in the Pacific timezone.  When I try to edit the entry, it shows the correct times.
    As you can see below, the start time 16:30, which is correct if I were in the Pacific timezone, the image below that shows the calendar in Edit mode for that event and the times are correct based on the timezone where I live.
    Anyone have any thoughts on this?
    I have tried removing the calendar from the iPhone, iTunes, and iCloud and resyncing it all.  It just seems that part of the calendar is still stuck in another timezone.

    I just solved my own issue after reading the following article http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Mobile/thread?tid=3b08ce5d9930069 a&hl=en
    I went into Settings | Mail, Contacts, Calendars | I scrolled down to Calendar and noticed that the Time Zone Support was still in Vancouver, even though the Time Zone Support was turned on.  I tapped on the Time Zone button and changed it to the city where I live.
    Done deal!

  • Showing Timezone in calendar

    I am frequently moving between timezones and get meeting invites from other parties for events scheduled according to their timezone.
    While Calendar manages the knighted correctly, there is a risk of confusion when the iPad (or iPhone) is set to automatically accept the location timezone. Switching the setting for time and calendar timezone support is a bit tedious.
    Is here a way to display the current timezone possibly in the top bar (next to the time), and also on the calendar page (since they timezones for displaying the time and managing calendar events is handled separately)?
    Would greatly help in reducing confusion about timings of events for frequent travelers.
    Cheers,
    Michael

    Hello,
    Did you found a solution for showing timezone in calendar?
    Thanks,

  • Calendar Alarms & Events In Different Timezones???

    I keep getting my iPhone Calendar alarms 3 hours early. I just noticed today that it says that the calendar event is in EST, but I'm in California.
    How can I change my calendar events in PST so my alarms are correct?
    My phone's timezone is set to Cupertino, so I really have no idea how this is happening.

    Try to turn off Time Zone Support here:
    Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars (at the bottom of the screen will find Time Zone Support for Calendars).
    I really don't understand why Apple decided to separate your calendar timezones from your current time zones... but they did it

  • Timezone Mapping Solaris - Java

    i have the following problem, for which i'm looking for
    ideas/suggestions/comments.
    i'm writing a Java client app which runs on Solaris or NT. the
    server to the client also can run either on Solaris or NT and the
    whole thing of course in a mixed mode (Client = Solaris,Server =
    NT, and viceversa).
    one of the parameters i get is the current time and timezone of
    the server. my client app is supposed to work with these, ie when
    showing date and time info, it is supposed to be based on the
    server date and time(zone).
    i know how to use Date/Calendar/TimeZone et al but i can't figure
    how to map the timezone info i get from Solaris and NT into the
    Java timezone.
    has anybody out there done this/experience/knows somebody who
    does/where to look at/...
    any info appreciated,
    thomas

    Hi
    I have not tried it, but you may try the getDefault() of the getTimeZone()
    methods in Java to get the TimeZone object. I dont think you need to
    worry about the underlying Operating system.
    Let me know if it helps.

  • IPhone Calender-timezone serious bug

    Hi,
    last week i made a trip to Istanbul. My iPhone changes automatically to local time in Istanbul und changes also the timezone for the calendar entrys. On Friday i went back to Vienna, and also my iPhone switches automatically to the local time there (-1 hour). But NOT the calendar-timezone.
    So, the problem is now, if I want to be remembered, the iPhone remberes me on hour to early.
    I can switch the timezone in the iPhone-Settings to "Vienna" or I turn off the timezone-support completely. Strangly then ALL my calendar-entrys appear now on hour earlyer.
    I'm really annoyed about this bug. Means, if I want to proceed with the normal functions I have now to re-write my whole entrys for the next half year???
    Also I have the problem with duplicate calendar-Lists.
    Will some software-update work for this bugs?
    Regards

    I've come onto this forum for the first time because of the same issue! Except I went to India, so the time difference is 13 1/2 hours, so my reminders are a full day off. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • After sync new appointments in outlook's calendar are 19 hrs in front

    When I sync iphone 4 (OS 4.2) with outlook 2007, new appointments are 19 hours out. If I record a new appointment on iphone and sync it, outlook places it 19 hours in front of the original time as recorded on the phone. If I record a new appointment using outlook's calendar and then sync, this new appointment is recorded 19hrs behind on the iphone. Both systems' clocks are accurate, updating automatically.

    Maybe a timezone issue?
    On iphone go to Mail-Contacts-Calendar --> Timezone support
    Is it set to the correct timezone? Turned off?
    Is the timezone in Outlook set to the same value as the Operating system?

    I have found it is a problem with the Arch implementation of Firefox. At least that is what it looks like.
    I tried everything and could not get it to work (in my case: opening http links from Thunderbird in Firefox). I _could_ open the http links in any other app, e.g. kwrite, konqueror, Gimp (just for testing a non KDE app...).
    So: I checked the /usr/lib/firefox_3.0.3 folder and found out that the executable is invoked directly. In debian, or in the static binary from mozilla, there is a script in place that later calls the binary. So for some reason or other the call fails (dbus??), and teh app does not launch.
    I installed the static firefox binary from mozilla and that works a treat. Did the same for Thunderbird by the way, since Arch is at 2.00.16 whereas version 2.00.17 has been out for a while.
