Hi
I am located in Malaysia, and I sync my e72 with my desktop PC here.
My USA colleage created mtg on his Outlook Calendar in his USA time zone, and list me as attendee.
Both Calendar are on the same server and appear properly on desktop PC.
However, my e72 calendar show the mtg appear on the next day. Synchronized with ovi-suite.
Is this a problem with e72 or ovi-suite?
The Nokia local support in Malaysia and Singapore say this BUG is a FEATURE. There is no way to fix this. It is customer's mistake and problem to buy this device.
I believe all software problem can be fix. Can someone help?
Thanks and rgds

Hi ajwh
Good to see your reply.
Allow me to clarify the problem
Yes, the Outlook feature can show the the appointment, which was created in USA, in my Malaysia local time zone properly; example 8am Wed.
However, this same appointment show up in e72 calendar as 8am Thur.
I have no plan to be in USA and will just pick up this international video/phone conference at my local time.... problem it show up on Thur.
Yes, this e72 is my first Nokia smart phone. I have been loyal Nokia phone user since year 2000, having used 5 phones.
I have been using 2 HP iPaq PDA (no phone) since yr2001. I changed to Nokia because HP stopped selling PDA in my country. Yes, I have been synchronising the HP PDA with Outlook with no major problem like this.
The IT guys in my office says they have to put zero support and zero budget for Nokia recently because of cost. I have to find outside solution.
Regards.

Calendar app stuck on another time zone.

I left Nigeria for Kansas, U.S. that's 6 hours behind so I changed the time settings on my phone to KS time zone but the Calendar app on my 3GS doesn't seem to understand that. When I create an event for, say, 8 PM today (to be notified at that time), I get a notification at 2 PM today—6 hours before the intended time. It's like Calendar thinks I'm still in Nigeria. I've been all over Settings and I can't figure it out.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

There is more than one place to change time. If you set the time to local, you need to go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>scroll down to the bottom under calendar and set the time zone support there for the local time zone.

IPhone 4S Calendar Event Defaults to Incorrect Time Zone

My iPhone, Win7 PC is set for Eastern Time. I use Outlook/Exchange and the Outlook calendar in Options is set for Eastern Time as well. I never had any issues until recently. My iPhone syncs with the Exchange server using ActiveSync.
A few weeks ago I was out west and changed my Win 7 O/S time zone to Pacific Time. I did not change anything in Outlook or on my iPhone. The iPhone has always been set for “Set Automatically” (Settings/General/Date & Time). Also, in Mail, Contacts and Calendars my Time Zone is Set for Montreal (where I live) with Time Zone Support “On”. I have never changed this from the day I got the iPhone. Whenever I travel the time zone automatically switches. When I came back from the west coast my phone switch back to Eastern as it should and I manually set the Win 7 O/S to Eastern as well.
Now for some reason, when I create a calendar event in Outlook (i.e. on the desktop) the event shows up correctly on the iPhone (example: a meeting for tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern shows up as tomorrow at 2:00PM on the iPhone). However, when I “edit” the calendar event on the iPhone, the time shows up as 11:00AM and the time zone is Los Angeles (3 hours apart from Montreal). You can just imagine how this is causing me havoc as I do business in different time zones and have to reschedule meetings often.
I have tried to set the time zone to something else and then back to eastern or Montreal. It makes no difference. When I create a calendar event directly on the iPhone the default time zone is Montreal and it shows up correctly on both devices.
Any ideas what’s going on?

Hi Song&DanceMan,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Issues with calendar time zone can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Time Zone Support feature may be affecting these events. Please use the attached article for more information on Time Zone Support.

IPad Calendar editing defaults to Cupertino time zone

When I go to edit a calendar entry on my iPad of an event that I created previously in Outlook on my work PC, the time zone becomes Cupertino, CA during the calendar event editing process. I live in the Chicago (Central) time zone so the calendar event is moving back two hours when I go to edit any detail of the calendar entry on my iPad. Yet when the calendar event entry is created on the iPad, it always remains in the Chicago time zone even during editing of the event details. Has anyone else run into this and have found a fix for this? Thanks.

I have two iPhones, a 4 and and 4S. The 4 is my personal iPhone, the 4S is for business. When I create a new calendar item in my 4 the default time zone in the Add Event dialog is ALWAYS Cupertino. Both phones are set to Timezone = Set Automatically and return New York (I'm in Charlotte, NC). When I set the time of an event in the calendar on the 4 I set it with the local time zone start and end time. But when it is saved it reverts to Cupertino time. Fortunately, the reminders pop up correctly for my local time. My issue is that the same process done on the 4S saves the start and end time of the event as local time NOT Cupertino. Why does the 4 iphone behave this way. It is super frustrating.

Is my iPhone calendar reading from the wrong time zone? How do I fix it?

First, here is all the info that I have about all of the clocks on my phone: the date and time on my iPhone are set automatically to Vancouver's time zone, in the Clock app though, I've also added in the clocks for Seoul and Manila so that I know the time when I need to contact friends out there, etc. Location wise, everything else on my phone is fine: my map correctly shows where I am, the weather app shows the weather for my city and my clock changes automatically for daylight savings.
Now, when I put in an event into the calendar app, while putting in the details such as start and end time, the Time Zone slot is always set to Seoul for some reason. I have to go in and change it to Vancouver manually. Even after doing this and setting everything though, the alarm always goes off at the wrong date and time - I think it' s going off at when that time reaches Seoul, not Vancouver. So then I tried setting it again, this time, leaving the time zone as Seoul in case things were somehow just 'backward' in my phone, and still the alarm went off at the wrong date and time.
I really can't understand it and haven't got the faintest clue as to how to fix it. Any ideas??
In case this better or further explains what I'm trying to say:
I just opened a new event on my calendar. I set it to begin twenty minutes from now (5:20AM) and left the ending time as the default one hour later (6:20AM). I also did not change the time zone which is already reading Seoul for whatever reason. I hit done, I'm taken back to the main calendar page, and there it shows as it should: 5:20AM today. I then went to set second event for 5:15AM only this time, I changed the timezone to Vancouver. All the information looks correct, but this time, when I hit done and am taken to the main calendar page, that event is recorded as having been set to 21:15PM instead!!
[ I have an iPhone 4 but...I don't know what CDMA or GSM means so I'm not sure which pertains to me...]

Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

Calendar entries updated when changing time zone (...

Can somebody please explain to me the use of this option?
It is logical you make your appointments on the local time no? Because of this stupid option, I almost missed an important job interview. Is there any way to turn it off? Or can the next update change this, cause I really do not see the point of that other than causing confusion
thanks

This is by design. Check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Time Zone Support. Turn it on to undo this behavior. Anyway, read what it says there - it describes what you have seen.

Calendar (OS X Mountain Lion) Time zone

I am using Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro 8,2 (Early 2011 15"). I have set the time zone to be Malaysian Time in Calendar. However, it shows "Singapore Standard Time" on all my events, past and present. I find this highly annoying because I would like to see my own time zone even though these two zones have the same time. This represents a bug to me. I have tried toggling time zone support on and off multiple times and nothing seems to work. I cannot recall having this problem with Lion. Is there anything I can do?
I know it's nothing but a pet peeve, but I think it's fair to expect the computer to work exactly how I would want it to, especially in such a simple matter, after paying a great deal of money for the OS and the machine.
Thank you!

there must be a way to integrate this within calendar??
Not in Mountain Lion. Not on the Desktop app anyway.
If you have an iCloud account, the Caledar app at www.icloud.com displays reminders.

ICloud calendar not syncing in correct time zone

Basically, I live in Australia & I have a subscription to a with all the Manchester United fixtures on in the UK. on my Mac the time zone changes are all correct, but as soon as I view the entries on my iPhone 5, they appear in UK time. I've already set my time zone to Sydney (AEST) on my iCloud account. Not sur

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.

Time zone compatability problem with timed event created on iOS and pushed to Windows7 Outlook calendar for sharing

Hi, I am in Jerusalem time zone. My Windows7 LAPTOP time zone is set to it (UTC+02:00 Jerusalem). My iPhone5 and iPad are both "Set Automatically" (ON) to Jerusalem. When I create any new event in my outlook on my Laptop it's generated with the Jerusalem time zone and pushed properly via iCloud to my iPhone and iPad. However when I create a new timed event on either my iPhone or iPad. or even in iCloud calendar (in a browser) the event is pushed to outlook on my Laptop in a "Beirut" time zone. Now that both Jerusalem and Beirut are on the same time zone (UTC + 02:00) it doesn't create any problem (though I prefer to see that the pushed events are indeed in Jerusalem time zone and not Beirut...). However, at and around day time saving change days there are problems of events created on iOS devices or even in iCloud (using browser) and pushed to outlook at the wrong times (1 hour earlier or later, depends on the change direction in Jerusalem time...) with a Beirut time stamp.
How can I resolve this problem and make sure all timed events, created on iOS devices at a Jerusalem time zone, appear as such after pushed via iCloud to my windows7 Outlook calendatr? Thanks!

I also have this issue (iPhone 5). Outlook needs to be configured properly in that timezone option needs to be selected. Which is challenging enough.
However the bigger issue for me is that when I open the ICN file:
1. I have no way to accept decline etc.
2. When the event is populating the calendar in the wrong time I can neither cut and paste nor select and move. It is totally static.
So for every meeting request I have to ensure it populates the right time as per my time zone. and if it doesnt i have to manually enter a second meeting 'X' hours earlier/later depending on which time zone the meeting was generated in.
I spoke to Apple. Their solution is make sure Outlook is properly configured. Fine...but good luck. I need a work around that is Apple based. Because this *****.
They said they would send to the development team. I am not holding my breath.

Since loading mavericks my calendar posts events one hour late. That is, if mtg invite is for 9am it posts at 10am. my pc clock and time zone are correct.

Hey Armando Stettner,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is!
With time zone support on, you can edit an individual event and change the time zone for that event. This list will include options for your default time zones, UTC, and "floating" - the latter of which is what you are looking for. Floating changes the event to occur at the specified time, local time.
For information on changing an event's time zone, see the following resource:
Calendar: Change an event’s time zone

I look forward to hearing how this works for you.
Cheers!

Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
First example.
I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
Second example.
I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

I am having a similar problem: invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in: I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST). My settings have my time zone set correctly.
Any help much appreciated.
PS: Using iPad original wit iOS5

Problem caused with appt times by changing calendar time zone support?

I've got a 30Gb iPod Touch, version 4.0.2.
I've always kept the Settings' Date & Time timezone for the correct location, but it was only a while back that I realized that there was also a Time Zone under the Settings, Calendar, and so I changed it so that it was correct (it was previously set to Kabul, AF time, and it was then changed to Ottawa, ON time).
I'm thinking that this may have messed up all my future appointments, as my appointments have been switched to midnight or somewhere near it, for the day prior to when the appointment was supposed to have been. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this, and didn't see this exact problem occurring for anyone else when I did a search of the discussions.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and what I can do to set it right?

Hi Cindiii,
Time zone support has often been a point of contention and confusion for many users. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix at the present time. Do you have any idea as to why you touch was set to Kabul? Did you buy it new? If not, perhaps the last user had it set to this time?
In any case, Calendar does allow for its own time zone settings. This is to allow the user to create events for his/her home time zone while traveling. Even if your system time zone reflects the current time zone that you are in, appointments added to Cakendar will show up in the time zine that you choose based in the time zone you set in the Calendar settings.
This definitely sets up conflicts if you are trying to schedule an appointment that is outside of your home time zone. Now that you have switched the time zone in your Calendar settings to your home time zone, there is nothing you can do about the events already created. As I see it, you have only two options:
1. Change the time zone back to Kabul time and view your events as though they were your local time, or
2. Leave the time zone in the Calendar settings to your home time zone and either time adjust the events in your head (knowing the time difference), or manually changing them to the correct time one by one.
I'm sorry this doesn't provide you with a magic solution, but I really don't see any other alternatives.

How to escalate Time Zone bug in iPhone Calendar to Apple?

Hi, does anyone know how to escalate a bug in the iPhone calendar software to Apple?
Time Zone support on the iphone which causes calendar items created in location "Kuwait" to be saved as "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time", which means that they arrive one hour out of sync in iCal.
To replicate the problem:
1. Turn on time zone support in both the iPhone and iCal
2. Set the location to Kuwait on both
3. Create an item in the calendar on the iphone
4. Allow it to sync over Mobile Me
5. See that it turns up 1 hour out in iCal
6. Open the event in iCal and notice that it is set to "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time"
The workaround is to turn the time zone on the iPhone to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which apparently is correctly matched to "Arabian Standard Time"
Thanks
Giles

Creating appointments in a different time zone with accuracy

I have my computer setup to set the date and time automatically. I also have iCal set to my current time zone. How do you create appointments for times in a different time zone with accuracy while you are in your current time zone?
For example, when I prepare for a business trip, I set my agenda in iCal while I'm at home. All of these appointments show up in my current time zone. When I get to my destination the times for my appointments are incorrect. I live in New York, but have a meeting in LA. The meeting is at 8:00 am PST. When I'm home, I set the appointment for 8:00 am, but by default, it is EST. When I get to LA, even if u change the time zone settings, the appointment shows up as 5:00 am PST. Do I need to set the appointment for 5:00 am while I'm at home in New York to take into account the time difference? Seems confusing and difficult to manage on a continual basis.
Any suggestions?
Mac

To elaborate further - what the current iOS manual says about times zones is:
_*When Time Zone Support is on, Calendar displays event dates and times in the time zone of the city you selected. When Time Zone Support is off, Calendar displays events in the time zone of your current location as determined by the network time.*_
Does that mean with time zone support off that when you move from one time zone to another and your phone readjusts its time setting that the appointment times are changed also or does it mean that the assumption is made that the event time is to be left as is. I believe it is the latter, but the description makes it sound to me like the opposite.
I do know that if one has time zone support enabled and you are in FL with an appointment with a California time zone enabled the time shown for the event will be 3 hours later. The description seems to say the opposite, but that was my experience in the past. In addition if time zone support is enabled and you change time zones, the time shown for the appointment will be changed.
For me at least a much clearer descrpition of what time zone support does is needed.
+*We need a checkbox that says adjust appointment time to correspond with time zone you are in in comparison to zone of event, and a checkbox that says:absolutely don't change the times I enter for events.*+

Cannot completely turn off time zone support in the iPhone calendar

In iOS7 it was possible in settings to turn off time zone support in the calendar. (This is not the same as having the date and time of the phone automatically change to current time zone which is generally what one wants and is not affected by calendar time zone support.) The problem in iOS8 is that Time Zone Override is not the same as Time Zone on/off. Here is an an example.
1) you live in Chicago and central time is your "home" time zone.
2) you find out about a meeting in New York at 1:00pm next week. You want to add the meeting to your calendar. If you add it at 1:00pm, when you arrive in New York (and change time zones), it will change the meeting time to 2:00pm.
Time Zone Override does not turn off the time zone calendar support. It provides two different views (time in current time zone and time in home tine zone). But time zones are irrelevant when I am scheduling an event at a known time. (Time Zone Override ON seems to work only if you are out of your home time zone and schedule something in your home time zone. But this is almost never what I encounter since I am usually at home, and need to schedule an event outside my home time zone.)

It would seem that way. But with "time zone support" on, you'll simply view your events "as if" you were in a certain time zone.
Example: I create an event in California for 6pm. ( A "California event") If I turn "time zone support" on, and select my time zone as Los Angeles, nothing changes. But if I select Oklahoma city, the time WILL change to 8pm, because it assumes I need to view a "California event" in Central Time.
"Time Zone Support" was created for people that have phone conferences in different time zones. The feature allows one standard time to be used in the calendar, and anyone outside the time zone can use "time zone support" to read it in thier respective time zone.
I'm saying this feature is trying to complicatedly simplify the calendar. I can use the organ between my ears to assume the correct time zone. And having to dig into my preferences in order to view my events correctly is completely insane.
All I want is to create an event, set an alarm, and not have to EVER worry about it changing.
I assumed that turning "time zone support" off would accomplish this as it did in the past. But the calendar STILL REMEMBERS WHERE AN EVENT WAS CREATED. So if the time zone ever changes, it will try to view the event according to the time zone you are currently in.
iCloud does the same thing. When you set your time zone on iCloud, it will view an event according to THAT time zone. If you are in Central time and create an event, your iCloud calendar better be set to Central time or else there will be a descrepancy between your phone calendar and your iCloud calendar.
I just want to turn off "time zone support" COMPLETELY.
