Create events over multiple time zones

Hello again,
How do I create events over multiple time zones? For instance, a plane leaves on GMT time zone and lands on GMT+5.
If iCal doesn't allow this, what is your suggested approach in this case?
Thanks in advance!

You're right, iCal doesn't allow this.
I just add the abbreviation for the timezone at the end of the title. For example: "AA Flight 407 - CDT", keeping in mind that the block of time for that event showing in iCal is always in that time zone.
It's not ideal, but it works for me.

  • How do I stop iCal from changing my gCal events to UTC time zone when entering new events?

    Within the last week, iCal has begun automatically changing the time zone of new events I enter via Calendar on my Google calendar to UTC. It does not do this for items entered on my iCal calendar.
    I enter the date and time (Pacific Time)  and as soon as I add an invittee or click "Done" it changes the time zone to UTC.
    Prefs:
    iCal time zone support is on
    Mac time zone is set automatically (and its correctly finding PDT)
    gCal time zone is also set for Pacific
    Calendar reads 11-1 pm...
    Yes, one solution would be to not use Calendar. Barring that, what do you suggest?

    I was having the same problem and spent some time on the phone with apple today.(new computer is under apple care). Tried a ton of stuff with different folks and ultimately I (well, me and 3 apple specialists) was able to solve this issue.
    Here's the break down:
    1. Quit Mail, Calendar and Messages.
    2. Open: System Preference -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    3. Delete all your google accounts (using the little minus button below your account list)
    4. Restart your computer.
    5. Re-add your google accounts. (Obviously, keep the calendar box checked).
    6. Open calendar and wait for your google info to populate.
    7. Attempt to add an event with correct time zone.
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Events I created while I was having the problem still had the problem.
    I simply deleted those broken events and recreated them with refreshed settings.
    I've only had this working for a few hours so I'm not certain it will stay working forever.
    But for now it is a relief.
    I realize deleting and re-adding the accounts is annoying but it's a lot less frustrating than seeing UTC every time you add an event.
    Hope that helps everyone else having this problem.

  • ICal changes times of my events based on Time Zone! Argh!

    This is so weird...
    I travel btwn NYC and LA, and if schedule an event on my iCal, either on the iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro (all connected via MobileMe), when I change time zones, it changes the time of the event for that time zone. As opposed to keeping it at the correct time that it was actually scheduled at. For example, if I'm in New York City, and create an event for the following week that's taking place at 8pm, when I get to Los Angeles, it tells me the event is at 5pm.
    I leave all of my Apple products to Automatically Set Time based on location. Is there something else I should be doing here?
    Help!

    Go to settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar; then time zone support. Set your time zone.

  • Loyalty program in multiple time zone point expiry calculation

    Hi,
    We are having Loyalty 8.1.1.7 implementations in multiple time zones where users are doing transactions. We had point expiry set at the point type level in such a way that the points assigned to the member should get expired in 1 years time frame at the end of the year. This is working as expected if the transactions were created for any day of the year except Dec 31st. Do we have any workaround to address such issue.
    Regards,
    Dels

    Can you provide more detail as to what is happening for those items that expire on the 31st?  Are you getting an error?

  • Entourage: "Event and computer time zones do not match."

    Since installing the latest update to the Mac OS (10.4.6) I have a glitch with Entourage (Office 2004 for Mac v. 11.2.3) and I believe it has something to do with the Mac OS. See below for explanation:
    When adding a new calendar event to the calendar, I get an error which reads:
    "Event and computer time zones do not match. In Calendar views, the event time is adjusted to display correctly." This is not true. I've checked the time zones in both my OS and Entourage and that is not the problem.
    It must have to do with how it interacts with the latest update of the Mac OS. I had not updated software on my laptop for a while, and it did not exhibit this error, so as a test, I downloaded and installed the latest version of Office and tested Entourage: no error message. To be sure, I restarted the computer and tried again: no error. Then I downloaded and installed all of the latest updates to the Mac OS using Software Update: I got the error. So, I think the problem is the interaction between the latest update of Office 2004 for Mac and the latest Mac OS or maybe even just something in the Mac OS.
    There are plenty of people complaining about this on the newsgroups at Mactopia. I'm not sure who needs to repair this problem - Apple or Microsoft, but does anyone know if there will be a patch issued by Microsoft to fix the problem? Or maybe my assessment is wrong and you have another solution?
    Thanks very much for your help with this problem.
    Dual G5 2.0 and Powerbook titanium   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I am in Ohio (eastern time) and I am also having this problem. It is not annoying but my problem is I am not able to schedule any meeting on Entourage. (It will not show if the person I am inviting is busy or not). They use the Exchange server in my company, and I read on the microsoft site that public folders and hence the calendar items are not synced. But seems like this page is for Office X and not 2004. Any clues? Is the time error related to me not able to schedule meetings? I am using latest 10.4 and Entourage 2004.

  • Multiple time zones on iOS lock screen?

    I'm desperate to be able to display multiple time zones on my lock screen in iOS (7.03) is there anyway to do this currently?
    As with most ppl my iphone is also my watch, and as I travel frequently i like to keep my eye on time zone back home to know when is a good time to call/FaceTime etc...
    Seems like an obvious feature no one has thought about?

    Sorry, no.
    If you'd like to see this as a feature, tell Apple:

  • Multiple time zone display

    Hi All
    I know this isn't possible with the built in Calendar App but I've been searching the app store and can't see anything that obviously does this. Bit surprised as I'm sure it would be so useful to many people. I'm looking for an App that will integrate with Google Calendar but shows multiple time zones. So for example, if I have a meeting at 11am in London I can also see what time that is in say New York aswell.
    Thanks
    Shell

    I have tried to do the same on my N73ME & N95 8GB. It's not something that is standard in the phone software.
    When I do in abroad, I set the clock as a shortcut & go to the "WORLD" tab & view all the cities that I have added.
    It's not a solution but the way it is. Maybe NOKIA will think about that for a future firmware.

  • Entourage- Event And Computer time zones do not match. Please Help

    Event and computer time zones do not match. In calendar views,the event time is adjusted to display correctly.

  • Editing a calendar event always changes time zone to CDT

    Whenever I create a calendar event in my iPhone or iPad, it is always created with a time zone of "New York".  It always syncs to my other devices and displays them correctly.   However, whenever I edit the event on another device, it always brings the event up in a time zone of "Chicago" and the times are one hour earlier.  
    For example, I create an event on my iPhone that starts at 11;00am and defaults to the time zone of "New York".  This is what I want.    However, if I try to edit the event on my iPad, it shows the event starting at 10:00am and the time zone is "Chicago".
    This was a problem when I had an iPhone 4s using iOS6 and iOS7.    I now have an iPhone 6 on iOS8, and am still having the same problem.
    Any ideas?

    I was wondering if anybody else has run into this problem.   I've tried everything and cannot figure out how to solve this.

  • BKPF- CREATED event executing 3 times (we are expecting just once)

    We have created a custom event to trigger on BKPF->CREATE. We are noticing that the simple act of updating the payment block on the invoice header is causing this event to be triggered three times. We can see this in the Event Trace in transaction SWEL. There are three identical entries that execute at the same time stamp.
    Can anyone help me understand where I should be looking to figure out why this event is being tripped multiple times when it should only be happening one time?
    Kind Regards,
    Andy

  • JPA Lifecycle events file multiple times

    I am using EclipseLink and the JPA lifecycle events like @PrePersist and @PostLoad. These events are being called multiple times during a persist cycle. When I looked at the code multiple EclipseLink events are mapped to each of the JPA events. There are also being called by 2 different functions.
    I have had to create local variables to detect multiple calls and not process multiple times. Is this going to change in future?

    Can you open a bug against EclipseLink and provide the information you have found.

  • When time zone support is on even when I am on Jerusalem, when i create an appointment the time zone for the appointment is immediately changed to Gaza and even when I change it manually it returns to Gaza.

    I have a 4s iPhone on IOS 6.0.1 with an Israeli Cellular provider.
    I use Gmail services an exchange to sync my colander contacts and mail.
    When the time zone support is set to ON in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
    The time zone is showing Jerusalem (I am located in Tel-Aviv)
    When I create a new Appointment, It Immediately changes the time zone of the appointment to Gaza.
    Even if I change it back to Jerusalem it changes back to Gaza every time.
    Only when the time zone support is set to OFF in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
    The time zone in Gmail is ok and does not appear on the iPhone. (This is ok)
    Dose any one know how do I make the iPhone not change the time zone to Gaza? And still keep the time zone support on?
    TNX

    they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.

  • Application for multiple times zones?

        I have a world edition and travel quite a bit.  Anyone know of any application out there that allows one to schedule  events in more than one time zone?   What would be best is a program that allows me to enter something in my calendar that then allows me to select which time zone that event will occur in.  Barring that perhaps there is a clock program that allows me to at least see three or more times simultaneously.

    There is no software that I no of (RIM should take notice as it's a problem with the device itself).
    I have faced the same problem and I can give you half a solution. What I do is enter the apointment based on the + or minus of the GMT schedule for the time zone I'm going to be in. Of course it will be incorrect in your present time zone. However, when you change the BB clock for the new time zone all your appointments will show up at the correct time.
    Good Luck,

  • Why Can't iCal Handle an Event in Two Time Zones?

    If I'm entering, say, a plane trip I'm taking that takes off in one time zone and lands in another, I can't enter this properly in iCal. Interestingly, if I'm entering this event in my iPhone's version of iCal, it works. That version of iCal has the option for separate time zones on the event's beginning and end. But not on the OSX version of iCal.
    It would be great if Apple would fix this. It's an annoying problem. Especially for those of us who travel a lot, it's important to enter items in LOCAL time so when we land our iCal is displaying our events correctly.
    This problem has at least one fascinating bug, which is that the trip I'm taking this week from China to the U.S. will not display on my iCal on my desktop at all, because the plane takes off on Friday at 5:00 p.m. (in Shanghai) and lands on Friday at 4:05 p.m. (in Chicago). The flight itself is, of course, 12 hours long, but iCal can't seem to figure out how to display a flight that lands before it takes off, if you're just tracking it in a single time zone.
    I know there are workarounds for this, but don't make me do the calculations... Since the iPhone version of iCal can handle this, the desktop version should, too.

    I don't know why iMovie is not allowing you to delete parts of clips but there is a workaround.  You can split your clips using Quicktime Player then drag and drop the resulting files into your event.
    For information this is the only way of deleting parts of clips in iMovie 10.
    I'm not sure about the other points

  • ICal ichanges the time of the events with another time zone when sync

    I've changed my time zone in my iphone during a trip and when I came back, I reset my actual time zone, then, I syncronized it with my lap and they show different times for the same event.
    Events added directly in my iphone stay the same in it, but appear in another time in my computer, even though I have verified both of them have the same time zone. 
    Events added directly on my lap stay the same in it but appear wrong in my iphone.
