Embarrassing UTC time in iPhone/iPad calendar

Hi,
I sync my iPhone6 calendar with Gmail.
I currently have a problem with the iPhone calendar. The event contains the good times , however, placed in the box of the event, the time is displayed in UTC so with 2 hours ( or 1 hour in winter ) less (french time). When I click on the event, the time is displayed in UTC and local time.
This is very annoying because you have to edit the event in Paris instead of hours utc for the display again become normal .
All French users under IOS8 have the same problem. We talk more and more about in forums.
This appeared with IOS8 .
How to remove this UTC time in the event's content?
Should we wait a consideration of the issue by Apple and wait for an update ?
Thank's for your help.
Screenshot Ipad, but like on Iphone.
Thank's

Had all the same issues mentioned before.
Though not mentioned here, people have said that going to isync and resetting the history under preferences may resolve the issue. In my case where it was also 4 hours off this solution on this page worked for me. Barry, when you say that Time Zone support is on (under settings | general | time and date) What do you have it set to ? That is by default it has Time Zone Support On. However beneath that, you have to type in manually where you want it to be set to. I searched for Washington DC and selected that. (Which matches what my computer has set to) This fixed the issue. Also make sure Time Zone Support is on in iCal (as you already did)
So just add whatever city your computer is set to in the iPhone and that should do the trick.

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

Is it possible to open a PDF from the notes section in the iPhone/iPad calendar app?

If it's not possible, do you know if there is a third party app that can accomplish this? I am an administrative assistant and it would be very helpful to attach PDF documents to my boss' calendar in Outlook so then he could access it from his iPhone/iPad at meetings. As of now, I email him the required PDF documents before his meetings so he can then access them using iBooks. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Not directly as an attachment, but you can put a URL. A web link.
E.G., a dropbox file link might be quick and easy. It's how I would do it.

Set up time zone in ipad calendar

Hi,
is there any possibility to set up time zone for some event? In Mail.app on Mac OS X I create the event and set what time zone is this in and the event change the time according to my time zone. Is this possible also in iPad somehow.
For example: I live in Czech Republic UTC+2 (summer time) and I want to add the WWDC event into my calendar, which is at 10 a.m. pacific time. Is this possible on iPad or I have to count the correct time?
Thanks

mm, that doesn't sound so comfortable. I'll stay with the time counting.
Thanks for reply;)

Syncing problem iPhone/iPad calendar to laptop/desktop

I have a very strange problem: when I enter a new event in my calendar on a computer it syncs immediately to my iPhone and iPad.
But when I enter a new event on my iPhone or iPad, it only syncs to the iPad or iPhone and NOT to the computer. How to solve this???

Or sync them both to a Google calendar using a Gmail account. My iPad and iPhone calendars are synced this way.

IPhone/iPad calendar holidays show one day early?

I recently noticed that all of my holidays on my iPad Air and iPhone 5 show one day early. For example, Christmas shows as being on December 24th. Every holiday is like this. I sync with Outlook 2007 and in there are 3 calendars: "Calendar", "Calendar in iCloud", and "Mobile Calendar in iCloud". The incorrect holidays are listed under "Calendar in iCloud". Of course, I can simply uncheck the calendar and the holidays disappear but I'd kind of like them there. Correctly. Any suggestions?

FWIW, I have no such problem..... Of course, I am "plain vanilla" Apple.

Itunes it's not showing me the last date/time the iPhone/iPad was backed up.

I just backed up my iPhone and iPad but iTunes it's not showing me the last date/time my device was backed up. I had just done a backup about 3 hours ago. And when I go to check the backup location I see a folder there with the time it was last backed up. But it's not showing me the backup date in iTunes. I don't know what to do.
I already tried to remove the folder in App. Support-Mobile Sync and start a brand new backup. But no date.
Tried to delete and start a new iTunes folder in Music but nothing has changed
Any solution is welcome!

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. You will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

IPhone iPad calendars suddenly not syncing

My iPhone 4S and ipad2 calendars suddenly stopped syncing. Checked the settings both are set to sync to cloud. Read all the help and think I have tried everything from rebooting, removing cookies etc. I am completely baffled as to why and how to fix. Please help

I actually asked you to go to icloud.com website, that is not available for ipad/iphone, you can do that on pc.
You kind of answered my question inderectly by that sentence "I have discovered that if i make or change something on the iCloud calendar in PC it will sync with both iOS devices."
Now what I think will fix your problem is going to calendars (on both ipad and iphone)
1. click calendars button in top left
2, uncheck all other calendars but icloud.
3. go to settings - mail/contacts/calendars- scroll down to calendars -last line default account - change or verify it is icloud.

When putting an event on my iPhone calendar and the time, when it goes to iCloud to my laptop or iPad calendar the times are different. How can I make the time the same?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is the calendar you are adding events to on the phone an iCloud calendar.

Ipad/iphone shifts calendar times +1hr after syncing with Outlook or ical

Hi,
I am having a problem when I sync my (PC) outlook calendar to my iphone(OS4.1) or ipad.(And my wife is having exactly the same problem when she syncs her iphone/ipad with her macbook pro (she uses ical/snow leopard)).
I live in a time zone that is GMT +3hrs. There is no summer time change here. Both devices are set to GMT +3Hrs with no summer time changes / daylight savings.
Every month I upload a calendar electronically to Outlook (from a program called Roster2Outlook) and occasionally enter some data into it manually on my PC and on my iphone/ipad.
The problem is this:-
When I sync my PC with my iphone/ipad the times on the iphone/ipad are always 1 hour later than displayed on my calendar in outlook on my PC. I then have to modify the times on my iphone and take off 1hour. If I enter an event on my iphone it appears in my calendar in Outlook 1 hour earlier (after a sync).
I get several monthly changes to my schedule and then when I update my outlook calender and sync it to my iphone again, all the times appear 1Hr later on my iphone and have to be manually adjusted.
This may seem trivial, but when one event is added on one device and it shows up at a different time on another device, it gets very confussing, as you never know which time is correct in your calendar, as it depends on which device you entered it and whether you synced it or not! I am tearing my hair out.
I also sync my calandar to my ipad, which appears to be doing the same thing.
So, to cut a long story short, any idea's why this is happening and how to fix it? (Please don't tell me I have the wrong time zone set on a device - because I haven't - they are all on the same time zone!)
I did have an idea that I could "shift" the calendar that I electronically upload to Outlook back by 1 Hour, so that the times would be 1Hr wrong in outlook but correct on my iphone and ipad (the devices that I predominantly use) but this still doesn't solve the problem of it being a bodge!
Any ideas / solutions much appreciated. Anyone else having this problem?
Please help!
Cheers,
i eye.

I figured out my iPad sync issue. First of all, I swore up and down I had all my time zone preferences set correctly in both google calendar and on my iPad. I was wrong.
There are two places in google calendar that can cause an issue:
(1) Settings>Calendar Settings>General
(2) Settings>Calendar Settings>Calendars>[Individual Calendar]
There are two places on the iPad to check:
(1) Settings>General>Date & Time (however I think this might not do anything because.....)
(2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support (this was the elusive one for me)
But It's fixed now and I'm happy.

Calendar sync betw pc-Outlook, iPhone & iPad

I have synced by iPhone 4 calendar with Outlook on my pc for years without probs. Now I have an iPad as well, and it seems the iPhone and iPad are syncing, but dropping a recurring entry (every 4 weeks) from my Outlook. Is there a way to fix this?

I have just tracked down the likely cause of this problem after subscribing to some of my existing Google Calendars. After doing that all the days in my iPhone calendar all showed dots regardless of any events for that day.
I found that if any event is dated before 13/12/1932 it will create this problem. I half expect that tomorrow being the 16/07/2009 I will see the problem move to the 14/12/1932, but I have to wait 24 hours to prove that.
I had my parents Birth Dates in one of my calendars and as they are both in their eighties I had events from the mid 1920s, thus this problem struck. It took some time to narrow down the exact date that cause this though.
Anyone else seeing this, can you confirm you have events before the 13/12/1932?
If I get confirmation I will push this through to Apple tech support, unless someone more influential can get their ear...

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.

Setting ipad calendar / time zones help?

Hi,
We are new ipad users and are placing flight & hotel details in the ipad calendar for a once in a life time global 6 week trip.
The point of purchasing the ipad was so that we could contain the info in one device...the calendar appears to be the only spot for that (other than e mails).
I have been changing the time zone within the calendar days to suit the destination....and am very confused (not difficult!) about the results....
Is it okay to set the time zones in advance and while still in the UK or not?
Thanks

When I create event on my iPhone only this iPhone and Outlook has correct time. By the way, creating the event I am checking if time zone is correct.
My local time zone is Moscow (which is gmt +3) at the moment. When created event on my iPhone is shown at correct time but if editing it shows Denver time. Same event synced to the other iPhone is one hour ahead and showing GMT+3 in description.
Hope it makes although it is very strange behavior.

I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

Can I sync my existing iPhone 3G calendar enteries with my new iPad 2 calendar?

Can I sync my existing iPhone 3G calendare entries with my new iPad 2 calendar?

WalleWalle below is right: If you're patient for the release of iCloud some time this fall, that should handle your needs.
In the meanwhile, a MobileMe account (which you can't get anymore if you don't already have one) or a Gmail account will do the trick. Exchange will also work, but you'd already know that if you had it available.
Until iCloud is available, I'd recommend getting a free Google Mail (Gmail) account and enabling it for Mail and Calendars. Both your iPhone and your iPad will sync with it automatically.
As an alternative, look at the free Wunderlist, which you can access on your iOS devices with a dedicated app, on the web, and even on a Mac app from the Mac App Store. The apps and service are free, and it's had great reviews. Strictly speaking, it's a to-do app, but it has decent "calendar" functions.
