Calender events disappear time zone/location service problem

By accident I turned OFF the location service for the time zone (system services). Then I created a huge amount of annual events (repeating every year) birthdays etc in my calendar by hand. Yesterday I turned ON the location service for time zone and now all the annual events are gone.
I don't have the iPhone calendar synced at all. All my regular events, even the ones repeating every week, is still in the calendar and works properly. I guess the problem is because of the time zone location service, but I can't bring the events back whatever I do. Help needed!

Time zone location services

On my iPhone 4 running iOS 6, the time does not adjust for the new time zone.
I am in Italy but my clock still shows California time. I have location services "on" in settings.
What's up?

Go to Settings -> General -> Date * Time
Turn Set Automatically to Off, and manually set your time zone. You can turn it back on after that.
This only works if the Set Automatically was previously set to "ON"

Setting Time Zone location marker still lights up in iOS 5.0.1 . Does this happen to you?

I have updated my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 ota and when the phone boots up the time zone location icon lights up i know this because i checked it in location services system . So does this happen to you ?

Yes, I saw this happen as well a week after upgrading to iOS 5 it started showing up all the time. So I shut the phone down and rebooted and the problem went away.

International travel and multiple-day events with time zones

I can't see how I can set an international travel easily as one event, e.g. from 2010-01-11 20:30:00+11:00 to 2010-01-11 07:10-10:00. I can set both as in one Time Zone, but that is not what I want. I want to set as my itinerary from a travel agent says, e.g. the start and end in different Time Zones. Although I can enter the departure and arrival as two events, that is not what I want to do. The air travel is one event, not two.
Also, I often want to set schedules for multiple-day international meetings using the local time of the meetings while my iCal is still in my own Time Zone, but this is not possible. As soon as I select All Day in a new event, the Time Zone option disappears. Of course, I can change my iCal Preferences to use the target Time Zone (instead of my local one) and then set the meeting schedule, but this is not what I want to do. I want to be able to select a different Time Zone for multiple-day events while I am in my own Time Zone.
These are rather common problems in any internatioanl businesses I suspect. It would be really handy to tie iCal with travel itinerary applications. If this is possible, I also would be able to get the information directly from travel agents in iCal format and it is a great potential for developing such applications.
Does anyone know whether these are possible in iCal or whether Apple may be working on it?
I also can't find a Feature Request for Apple, to ask about it. Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks.

I just didn't get the context here. Do you want to display multiple rows within one Outlook calendar event? If yes, I think it's impossible.
Please reattach the sample which will be very helpful for others to understand your requirement, then possibly provide a solution.

Outlook Client recurring appointments time zone / GMT offset problem

I will try to describe this with text, although it's a very visual problem. I added a post to my blog with
it so I could include pictures. If you think you need pictures to understand the text below, please review that entry.  Please note, the one appointment instance cited below, is an example, there are many others with this same problem,
and it only happens with recurring appointments.
Relevant System Information:
Windows 7 Utlimate
Office 2010 Professional Plus (14.0.6023.1000 64-bit)
Exchange services hosted by Microsoft.
Android HTC Inspire 4G also configured as exchange active sync client.
Issue Description:
I have a specifications meeting that is scheduled for Tuesday mornings (every 2 weeks) at 8:30 am. In the body of the appointment, it even has this text spelled out. "When: Occurs every 2 weeks on Tuesday effective 11/23/2010 from 8:30
AM to 11:30 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)." as an indicator of the actual appointment time. The problem is that one day, several weeks after this appointment had been sent to me, Outlook 2010 decided that it was really at 1:30 PM.
Since that time it's been showing incorrectly on my calendar at 1:30 PM.   So, I recognized almost immediately that this was a 5 hour difference, which happens to also be my timezone offset (except that I'm currently in daylight savings time -- so
it's really a -4 offset right now).
I ran the 2010 service pack 1 installer, based on the suggestion of my IT group, and found I already had the service pack installed. I've tried the timezone tool as well and that didn't work. Please keep reading.
Next I went to my exchange host with outlook web access.   The appointment is closer to correct there, showing at 9:30am. It think here it almost seems as though it's applying the DST, but not correctly, maybe doubling it?.
Meanwhile, back in outlook, if I go to the scheduling assistant and look at my time while making an appointment with other invitees it - much to my surprise - matches the time in OWA, not the time in outlook client.
Finally, if I go to my Android and look at the appointment, it is correct. 8:30 AM.
So to summarize:
Real Appoinment:   8:30 AM
Outlook Client Time: 1:30 PM
OWA / Exchange Time: 9:30 AM
Android Calendar Time: 8:30 AM
This applies to many others, this is just a convenient example.
This applies only to recurring appointments.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

Status Update, and recommended next steps:
I opened a ticket with HTC support the day before yesterday (Ticket # 03543601). The initial response was an email reply with the typical level one suggestion to remove and re-add the Exchange ActiveSync account on my phone, and if that didn't resolve the
issue to do a hard reset and then add the account again. Since I have multiple users experiencing this same issue, where the common denominator seems to be centralized around the move from Outlook 2007 to 2010 and the HTC Gingerbread OS, I convinced them that
this would not be an acceptable remedy, and my case was immediately escalated without hesitation. I will say that though I don't have a resolution, I'll applaud HTC for not giving me the runaround and giving me a live person who could talk intelligently about
the issue.
Today, I received a phone call back on this ticket from someone in the escalations department at HTC named Travis. After explaining the issue in detail to him and referencing
this specific thread, he acknowledged that it did in fact sound like a coding issue coming from the device where the value in the “dispidApptTZDefStartDisplay” property was being set improperly by the device/stock email/calendar application in their implementation
of ActiveSync. He then stated that he would relay this to the developers to look into the issue. He further elaborated that the case would either be in a status of, "this is being looked into", or "We believe this to be resolved in [x] update". He said that
they will probably continue releasing updates for the Incredible (I did not specifically ask about the Incredible 2), and while the Incredible 2 is definitely slated to get Ice Cream Sandwich, the Incredible one is still in a classification of, "being evaluated".
Personally, I doubt that the Inc 1 will get ICS, but it is possible. From what I have read, the general stance is that phones will be updated for 18 months after release, and the Inc 1 is 24 months old this month (bummer - I REALLY like this phone).
According to Verizon and HTC, these are the phones that will get ICS (or Android 4.0):
Ice Cream Sandwich Coming to Many Verizon Wireless Smartphones
Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich Updates
While it is possible that an update will be released for the Incredible 1 to fix this issue, it will likely be months before one is available, so we'll probably have to move to Touchdown for Exchange by NitroDesk in order to resolve this issue....or move to
a newer phone with ICS 4.0.
Speaking of which, there is a whole laundry list of issues with Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices. A number of them are listed in this Microsoft KB article:
Current issues with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and third-party devices
Per the article:
Microsoft's recommendation for Android - Upgrade to Android OS 4.0
Microsoft's recommendation for iPhone/iOS devices - Upgrade to iOS version 5
So, for anyone on Android experiencing this issue (or others listed in the Microsoft KB above), if your phone is likely to get ICS soon, then you may want to hold on and just be vigilant about checking your calendar on OWA. If your phone isn't slated to get
ICS or if you can't wait, my recommendation is to get Touchdown for $20. You may still have to delete and re-create appointments that are wrong, but hopefully the issue won't happen any more once you move to Touchdown. And if they do, at least you've got a
shot at a more rapid fix with a company like NitroDesk. (no offense HTC).
Good luck. I probably won't post again unless I get notice of a fix for this specific issue or some other significantly useful information.

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?

ICal events and time zone change

Has anyone scoped out what happens to iCal events when your MBP moves between time zones and automatically changes the date and time settings? In general, I'd like my calendar events to be fixed at the time in the time zone where they are supposed to occur, and not where the MBP is, but of course I'd like the MBP to be telling me the time where it actually is. I don't think iCal does it this way, but I'm not sure how it handles time differences. Anybody know?

In iCal preferences, there is a check box for "turn on time zone support." If you leave it unchecked, iCal will automatically adjust to your current time zone and move the events forward/back by the appropriate number of hours. If you check "turn on time zone support" a drop-down menu will appear at the upper right of the iCal page allowing you to select the time zone you wish to view. In this mode, iCal does not automatically move the events unless you select a new time zone manually. Does that make sense?

How do I turn off ALL time zone, location support?

How do I turn off all location support in iCal. I travel a lot and I'm tired of iCal changing my appointments when I change time zones. I've missed two so far because of it.
TIA

Time Zone auto-reset problem

I was having problems with apps quitting, so I did a full restore and now my Time Zone is stuck at "Cupertino, CA"!! I tried to change it to Tokyo, Japan, but every time I go back to the home screen, it resets again!
I seem to have lost the "Set Automatically" feature found at: Settings>General>Date & Time
Could anyone check one their phone and tell me if you have this feature? I swear it was there before I did the full restore...

Thanks so much! Quick question before I try...
Is that the restore from the handset itself (it warns of a two hour process) or the restore from iTunes? If from the handset, when the handset asks me to connect to iTunes for initial set up, should I choose the "use as new phone" (I think that what it says) option?
I was going to choose that the first time I tried a full restore, but I was scared I wouldn't be able to activate the phone properly, so I chose the "back up old phone" option!

Wrong Service time zone in Service rule: How to correct/modify it ?

I dont know why but even with all our hardware on timezone UTC+1 Paris, i'm having some of the EBS related generic services which were automaticaly setuped with wrong time zones (some UTC+0 and some UTC+2). I intended to correct it in the screen "Edit Service Level Rule" but the information is not updatable.
Is there someone who knows how and where is this information stored ? hw can i correct it ?
thanks in advance

Hi Hweeling,
You can remove the incorrect data from info-structure using transaction OLIX.
Then you can reload the data using transactions:
OLI7 : Sales Order
OLI8 : Delivery
OLI9 : Billing
Be very careful when you execute transaction OLIX, delete only the specific Sales Document data which you want to. Then also reload those specific Sales Document data.
Hope this helps ...if yes then pls reward liberally
Kind Regards

How to retrieve Calender object without Time Zone.

I need to Generate the xml file with JAXB. JAXB requires the Calendar class for the Calendar class. So i am converting the Date Object into the claendar Object as follows.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date) // date is the parameter
return date;
It was taking the default Time zone and creating the XML element as
<Resource employmentType="Employee" externalId="104718"
hireDate="2000-02-29+05:30" includeInDatamart="true"
isActive="true">
But i need hireDate="2000-02-29" without the time zone.
In server side it accepts the "yyyy-mm-dd" formate only.

Calender event creation time.

Is there a way to hack this program to show the event creaton time?

As far as I can tell, there is no way to view the creation/last modified timestamp on an event (as is possible in iOS and other platforms). You should submit feedback directly to Apple to let them know that you would like to see this feature added to Calendar in OS X; the feedback form is here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds
