Countdown Timer Stuck In Wrong Time-zone

Hopefully this is a simple one folks. Is there a way to change the time-zone of the countdown timer? It's in central time and I'm eastern - weird huh?

I had the same issue, it annoyed me for quite a while, and I couldn't find a solution on the web.  I then looked at "Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Time Zone Support" and saw that it was stuck on the wrong time zone there (which coincided with the time zone my calendar was in).  I switched off Time Zone Support and switched it back on: that corrected it.  I then returned to my calendar app again, and it was in the correct time zone.  That solved it for me.

  • Apple Time Server displaying wrong time

    So I have the option 'Date and Time' I have the 'Set Date and Time Automatically' checked and the apple time server selected. I also have the correct time zone selected. However, the time that is displayed is one day and five hours ahead of the actual time. I know I can manually set the time, but the time stamps on my emails don't change when I do that. So I'd appreciate it if there was a way for me to use the automatic time setting, but have it display the correct time.

    There are three apple timeservers. Try changing to a different one and then back to the correct one.

  • Wrong time zone with rss feed in iWeb

    I'm using the RSS widget in iWeb, and all the RSS items are nine hours off - meaning they're on California time (I'm in Norway). The time zone is wrong even when I look at the feed in iWeb, so I don't think it's a server issue (and I'm not publishing to MobileMe).
    I've found a couple of other questions about this on the board, but no answers, so here we go again... anyone? I've tried several different feeds.

    Same question! There must be some command-line hack to fix this. Any one figured it out?
    It's posted times in USA Pacific time by default (GMT -8). This is iWeb 3.0.1.

  • OS has wrong time zone, so db has wrong time zone after RAC db installed

    hi Guru, after the RAC db installed, and it is a alive production DB, then I realized that the os has wrong time zone which is MDT (mountain time), I want it as CDT, so I am planning to ask sys admin to change os to CDT, then I just need to bounce the db once os time zone changed? Is that right? that won't corrupted the db after os time zone change right? And this is 2 nodes RAC db, anything I need to be aware before os level timezone change?

  • JDKs in weblogic server return wrong time zone

    Hi , i am running weblogic server 8.1.4, 8.1.6 and 10 on my windows vista
    all of the JDK bundled (both Sun's and JRockit) return GMT instead of my local time zone when i call Timezone.getDefault()
    I am quite sure the operating system has set to correct time zone because my self installed JDK (downloaded from sun) works properly (return correct local time zone)
    is that i have missed anything?
    please help.

    I am noticing the same problem with iCal events imported from Orbitz. The thing is that the more I look into it the more I think this is meant as a feature, not a bug. Go into iCal preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Turn on time zone support". Import the event again and this time both the graphic view and the Get Info view will display the same information.
    It appears that this setting is meant to be useful if you travel to different time zones a lot. Basically, with it you get a time zone dropdown menu in iCal. So when you are in a different time zone you can select it from the dropdown and it will show what time your events occur in your new local time. Just keep in mind that when you create a new event it will be created based on the time zone you have selected. So if you are in California and have selected that time zone but you are adding an entry for a meeting you have when you are back in New York make sure that you select the correct time zone when creating that meeting because by default it will be created in California time and when you return to New York and switch your calendar back it will show the event at the wrong time.

    'Requires=network.target' wasn't in it so I added it but nothing's changed. I've left it in because openVPN does require network.
    As I said, I had this problem with a script so I don't think it's anything specific to openVPN. I had a weird occurrence this morning however. When I started the computer up this morning  openVPN worked just fine. However when the computer rebooted openVPN couldn't resolve the host address again.

  • My Ipod is stuck on a white screen with the wrong time and a lock. computer doesn't recognized my Ipod..also gets hot when connected to charge..any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You

    Hi
    My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

    If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
    If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

  • My Mac Pro 2009 has the wrong time

    I have an early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66GHz quad core Xeon processor, 20 GB RAM 2TB HD and a second 2TB HD for backup. Running OS 10.10.2. I have Parallels installed.
    Starting with 10.9, I noticed that sometimes the clock was wrong. After the installation of 10.10, it seemed to get worse, although that may be unrelated. I have not seen my exact symptoms described in any posts related to this subject. Here is what I see:
    I notice the time is wrong. It is never wrong by a certain number of hours. It can be off by 4 hours and 19 minutes and the next time 7 hours and 12 minutes. The day, however is usually correct. If I open the Date and Time control panel, the "Set date and time automatically" is checked and the Apple US server is chosen. The time is wrong. If I uncheck and then re-check the SD&TA checkbox, the time then corrects. However, a few minutes to hours later, the time will be wrong again. If I leave the Date and Time control panel open, the correct time seems to persist longer but eventually the time goes rogue. I even tried setting the time manually, turning off SD&TA and leaving the machine on without sleeping and it still became corrupted.
    I have tried the following
    Obviously, set the time and date automatically
    Adjusting the time zones
    Rebooting
    Doing an NVRAM reset
    Resetting the SMC
    Reinstalling the OS (10.10)
    Replacing the battery on the motherboard. When I removed the battery, I tested it and it was fine. I checked the position of the battery and it appears to be correct. It is the correct type of battery and fits perfectly into the slot. Just to be sure, I replaced it again.
    Hitting it with a hammer (not really)
    I saw some posts relating to the time zone being a problem, but the time is not off by an hourly interval, so that seems less likely. The one thing I thought was that perhaps Parallels is causing some sort of problem, but I could find no posts.
    The machine is still great after 6 year. I use it almost every day all day. While this problem is small, it has large consequences because my calendar is off and I'm missing meetings, the time on my emails is weird, my file creation times are off and anything related to time is corrupted. I'm facile with Unix so if the solution involves the command line, so be it. I've had macs since a Centris 650 back in the dark ages 20 years ago but this one has stumped me.
    Thanks for any help.

    You have done all the appropriate things.
    There have been reports of odd bugs related to Date & Time when a group of non-standard settings was set (deliberately or "just because")  in the "Language & Region" Preferences.
    I recommend you actively change those settings to a standard setting (that you do NOT intend to keep, e.g. Europe --United Kingdom), save Changes, close the Preferences pane, then re-Open, change to a standard set of Preferences (that you DO Intend to keep, e.g., Americas -- United States) save changes, close the preference pane, then check and reset the date&time and test. [If I have guessed incorrectly about your location in the world, no offense was intended.]

  • Airport Blank, Time displayed is wrong, spinning wheel of death›

    Hi Guys
    This is the second time this has happened in the last 3 days.
    My airport icon along the top toolbar is blank, even though clearly i am on the internet right now and it's working, and also the time is 50mins out. I went into System Preferences to check if i had the wrong time zone, but it's on the correct one (Wellington, New Zealand) and in System Preferences it has the correct time, yet the time displayed on the tool bar is wrong.
    The other day when this happened, i shut my macbook pro (Leopard 10.5.8), and opened again, and it restarted itself, took 10 minutes on the white page with apple logo and spinning cog, and then went to a plain blue screen. I forced it to shut down and started it up and again and this happened again. I couldn't find anything on these forums to help me (on my boyfriends laptop) and went and had a look at my manual, and started up my laptop in safemode, went into my system preferences, went to startup disk and selected my local disk and then restarted my laptop and it has been working fine for the 2 days since then.
    About ten minutes ago, i opened up my laptop from sleep and the airport icon is blank and the time is out again, also when i hover over that part of the toolbar i get the pinwheel, but when i hover over the toolbar towards the menus it's fine.
    I just opened system preferences to have a look at the start up disk thing again and it's frozen with pinwheel there too.
    Help Help Help!
    I don't want to shut my laptop off right now because i know i will get blue screen when i try to turn it on again and i won't get any of your replies :P

    also just noticed the "wrong time" is actually frozen, it's just frozen on 7:55pm

  • My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time  and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed.  My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

    My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed...  to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time.  The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time.  The phone can not find my time zone any more.   The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time.  What is  happening? Ideas?

    just sorted mine went to
    settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
    then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
    this did sort mine

  • Some events appear at wrong time when publishing to web

    When I publish my calendar and then view it on the web, events I have created myself in iCal are shown at the correct time, but any events I have recieved from Evolution (the email/calendar application my colleagues use) as an .ics file are shown exactly 8 hours later than they should be. Perhaps it's a coincidence that this is the exact time difference between the UK (where I live and work) and West Coast USA?
    Just to make it clear: all events appear correctly in iCal and, if I send a subscribe email to myself and then subscribe to the published calendar, they also appear correctly in iCal. The only place where they appear at the wrong times is in the http://ical.mac.com/<username>/<calendarname> address, and it's only events that I have recieved via email.
    Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve asking my colleagues to change settings on their Ubuntu workstations? Perhaps it's a problem with Apple's ical website that they need to fix? Either way, it makes the business of publishing my calendars largely useless.

    Bernard Harte wrote:
    It's likely that the problem is due to an incompatibility between the way that the two systems define time zones.
    This is what I thought, but iCal itself seems to cope with this, whereas the .Mac iCal web server doesn't, which is a shame.
    I suspect that you don't have time zone support switched on in the Advanced tab of Preferences. If you don't, try switching it on and then looking at one of your events and one of the rogue ones in the edit window. You'll probably see a difference in time zones - i.e. that the rogue ones are in US Pacific zone.
    I switched on time zone support, but it didn't change any of the events in iCal at all; i.e., the "rogue" events still show at the correct time (and the incorrect time on the iCal web server).
    If this guess is correct, you will need to get your colleagues to change their time zone since iCal and ical.mac.com are behaving as they should.
    They are all on the same timezone as me - Europe/London (which is currently on DST).
    If the guess isn't correct, report back and we'll work on a solution
    Then I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Wrong time when using java Calender

    Hi All,
    I have a Solaris 9 system. The Timezone for which is set to "TZ=Asia/Colombo". I have written a small java code to get the time using Calender class.
    The problem is I get wrong time and wrong ZONE offset information
    Output of the java code
    bash$ java TimeFile
    Tue Dec 18 12:53:28 LKT 2007
    utcTimeZone ===sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="UTC",offset=0,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=0,lastRule=null]
    ZONE offset ===21600000 //Should be 19800000 Since the system is in UTC+5:30
    DST offset ====0
    System time details
    bash$ date
    Tue Dec 18 12:23:42 LKT 2007
    bash$ date -u
    Tue Dec 18 06:53:47 GMT 2007
    The java version I am using is
    bash$ java -version
    java version "1.4.2_04"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)
    bash$
    Below I have pasted the code
    public class TimeFile
    public static void main(String[] args)
    Calendar currentDateNTime = Calendar.getInstance();
    Date date = currentDateNTime.getTime();
    System.out.println(date);
    int offset = currentDateNTime.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET);
    int dstoffset = currentDateNTime.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET);
    TimeZone utcTimeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC");
    System.out.println("utcTimeZone ===" +utcTimeZone);
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("ZONE offset ==="+offset);
    System.out.println("DST offset ====" + dstoffset);
    }

    Perhaps you should update to a newer version of Java. If you have to stick with 1.4.2, then you should at least use 1.4.2_15.
    See also http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/tzdata_versions.html on information about how to update time zone information in Java. In 2006 there was an update to the timezone info also covering Sri Lanka.

  • CC email  Posting Wrong Time = "Forward 8 hours" in iphone in-box timeline

    *CC email Posting Wrong Time = Forward 8 hours in the future in the iphone in-box timeline.*
    All email sent from my iPhone CC to myself (back to my iPhone in-box posted in blue) is wrongly posted 8 hours in the future. If I open that email and check the time and date in the email... the send time and date are both correct... But, the email in the in-box list on the iphone continues to display the wrong time and date "in blue" 8 hours off.
    (1) I tried all the tips mentioned i.e.,Rebooting and turning 3G & Auto on&off & Syncing to my Mac etc.= with no change at all.
    (2) The same cc emails also sent to my MacBook Pro all are posted in the iMail in-box correctly with the normal time. The only problem is... on the iPhone in the in-box.
    All the clocks and time displays on the iPhone seem to operate normally. Time zones are correct... The only problem is the in-Box email: post dating my email cc to myself = 8 hours in the future.
    *The Negative Problems caused by this Issue:*
    This problem causes any mail from other senders to follow the email I send 8 hour and of that all new email is lost in the middle of time line. Which is not good and, easy to lose new important email in the time-line.
    *Start of the Problem:*
    Seemed to start sometime after I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 4 software

    Looks like it happening with incoming mail too. I have emails that are reporting 5 hours ahead. That would GMT for me in Eastern Time in the US.
    The mail below came in at 09:06 -0500 and is reporting 14:06 GMT in the listing.

  • Setting the time automatically, or manually yet still gives wrong time.

    Ever since I've updated my 5c, the time keeps messing around. It's never the right time. I've tried manual and also set it automatically. It keeps delaying in time and gives wrong hour/minutes. I cannot set the alarm or do anything because the time is just wrong. I don't have a problem with my other apple devices regarding the new software update, it's just with this phone.

    Hello Basilsami,
    It sounds like your phone is not keeping the correct time and date, either when set to automatic, or manual. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3920
    Follow these steps. Test after each step to see if the issue is resolved.
    Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
    If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
    If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.
    Note: The option to set automatically might not be available on all carriers in all countries.
    Additional Information
    Note: If you find that your device's time is incorrect after you sync with your computer, your computer's time may be incorrect. Verify the computer's time in System Preferences > Date & Time (you may want to select the checkbox to set the computer's date and time automatically).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
