"Fix" for Calendar Events displaying one day early

I posted a question about this a couple of weeks ago, but can't find my original post. No way to search by user name, so I gave up looking for it after 10 or so pages. Because there are several others who have posted about the same problem, I decided to start a new discussion describing the fix that worked for me, with help from Apple Tech Support.
Background of my problem: New iPhone 4S, set up as "new phone" -- calendar events synced via MobileMe without any problems. Or so I thought. Discovered a few days later that any "All Day" event was shown on the day prior to the actual event -- US Holidays and Birthdays in particular. Events with specific start/end times were displaying on the correct day.
Checked these forums and was unable to find a solution, so I made an appointment for the following week with Tech Support to have someone call me. Fred first had me try resetting the phone. Didn't fix it.
Note: Somewhere in our troubleshooting, he had me turn off the Birthday and US Holiday calendars on both the phone and iCal on my computer, then turn them back on and do a sync. This did not correct the event dates. If I remember correctly (I wasn't taking notes), this was before changing any settings in iTunes and didn't fix the problem. However... it *might* have played a part in the final fix, so if the following steps don't fix it for you, try adding in the off/on for the calendars before changing the iTunes sync settings.
What finally worked :
Changing a setting in iTunes to overwrite the Calendar on my iPhone and doing a Sync (bypassing MobileMe entirely). Here's how to do it.
In iTunes, go to the "Info" tab and scroll down to the Advanced section. There are 5 checkboxes there and selecting one or more will overwrite the corresponding items on the iPhone during the next sync only. He had me check Calendar, then perform a Sync.
That worked! For US Holidays, but most of the birthdays were still one day off, except ones I'd entered manually in iCal. All of the misplaced birthdays are published by dates I've entered for contacts in Address Book on my Mac.
I went back to iTunes and checked Birthdays in the Advanced area and performed another sync. That overwrote the Birthday calendar on the phone and now all of my Birthdays and US Holidays are showing on the correct days.
Would have been quicker if I had checked Birthdays at the same time as US Holidays, so when you follow the steps, check both Birthdays and Holidays to save yourself some time.
Hope this helps all of you who are having the same problem I was.

All of my dates are out by one day in ical (and address book). I can change them manually (best advice I could get from Apple), but it keeps happening to me. Any help appreciated, I have 10.8.6; macbook pro, iphone 4s and am frustrated. This seems to be a common problem but I can't find a fix.
In the post above advice is to go to itunes, "info tab", Advanced...but I don't see an "info tab" -
Thanks for any help!

Ipad calendar events are one day early

Hello,
I recently switched over to iCloud. And now all-day events are one day early on my iPad only. The dates are fine when I look at iCal on the web, and they're fine on my Mac Pro and my MacBook. I tried resetting the iPad, and it didn't fix it. The time zone is was set to automatic, I tried setting it to manual, but still no change. Any other ideas?
thanks!
Joe

Birthday calendar on iPad one day early with iOS5

The birthday calendar shows all birthdays one day early after upgrade to iOS5 on original iPad. I have all the automatic time adjustments and location recognition on. What is wrong?

I have read that this is a bug, here is a fix which has worked for me at least for the time being:
Here is a process that worked for me to correct the information in Calendars re birthdays appearing one day out:
(1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
(2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
(3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
(4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
(5) Sync again.
Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.
Thanks to @fortbailey for this. By the way Steff_BKK, is one of your email accounts an Exchange account? (This has been reported as something to do with this bug.)

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.

Facebook Events showing one day early in calendar iOS6

I recently updated to iOS6 and synced my facebook account with my calendar and contacts.
My problem is that all the facebook events I have joined are showing up as being 1 day earlier than they are on facebook.
Facebook Birthdays are displaying fine, it's just facebook events that are wrong.
Have tried deleting my fb account, turning facebook calendar sync off and on, re-starting my phone, and checked location settings

Since the iPhone is updated and disabling Time Zone Support does not affect the calendar events it, the issue is most likely related to Outlook/Exchange.
That logic seems somewhat flawed. Outlook displays it fine. Exchange displays it fine. Other phones display it fine. iPhone displays it wrong.
To me, issue is most likely related to iPhone?
Jason L wrote:
Did you run into any errors or problems when trying the tips in the Resolution or Additional Information sections of the article you linked above?
No errors, Outlook was already set to my timezone, so I forced it to re-change it to my timezone again. It scanned through my appointments and then gave the message "No appointments, meetings or reminders were found that needed to be moved to the new time zone."

Outlook all day events are one day early in ipod touch calendar...

I recently bought an ipod touch 4th generation, when I tried to sync my outlook 2007 calendar all my all-day-events came up as a whole day early on my ipod touch. I'm running iOS Version: 4.3.5 and App Version: 3.3, outlook 2007 off windows 7. I see there are a lot of unresolved older threads around the same discussion point...did anyone get anywhere?

Hi,
Same problem.

Anybody find cause/fix for movies that play one day and not another?

I have a lot of movies. I find that at times I go back to watch a movie I have watched before and it errors saying cannot play movie, unrecognized format. Though I have watched it before on the AppleTV without issue.
I try again maybe a week later and it works. Then later, others won't play.
Very frustrating when I know the movie works as I have watched it before.
So, just curious if anybody else has seen this and knows why or at least a quick fix to get it to work. Rebooting the ATV and/or computer doesn't work.

It happens (when it does, as mentioned, doesn't always have issue) when streaming a movie.
eg: I get new movie. I have sync options to sync 5 most recent unwatched movies and 10 most recent unwatched tv shows and all music.
So new movie is on ATV. I watch. All is good.
When done ATV does it's thing and takes it off and brings over the next most recent to keep my count at 5 local to the ATV.
Later I want to watch again when wife gets home or something. Here is when sometimes I can watch (it streams) and other times (just happening more and more lately) it will say unrecognized format.
Yet if I go pick another movie that I know is not local to the ATV thus will stream, it will work. Just random various movies won't.
If I go to iTunes and mark one that isn't playing as unwatched (and it was more recent than another on the ATV) then it will sync over to the ATV and be local again and play fine again.
Thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Some stuff will stream fine, other times won't. Real pain and has only been getting worse lately.
Guess I know that the error message of "unrecognized format" is just wrong and it that must be some general message because I know it is in right format.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Why do all events in my calendar show up a day early?

All of my events, birthdays, appointments, etc., show up on my calendar a day before they are supposed to occur. Birthdays are pulled from my contacts and in my contacts the date shows up correctly, but they all show up a day early in the actual calendar. The holiday information is automatically pulled as well and each holiday also shows up in the calendar one day early. Why does it do this and how can I fix it?

Connect your iPhone to you computer with the iPhone's USB connector. If iTunes doesn't sutomatically launch, open iTunes.
In the left hand column of the iTunes window, under Devices, your iphone should be listed. Click on it, and a Summary Window on about your iPhone will appear.
Just below the Apple at the top center of the iTunes window you'll see "Summary, Info, Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Photos". Click on Info. You'll see options to check like Sync Contacts, Calendars, Mail, Other, and Advanced. Check the options you want to sync. Do the same for Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Photos.
Then Click on the Summary button. Under the Backup heading, make sure Backup to iCloud is checked. Then you might have to click the Sync button in the bottom right corner of the iTunes Window (not sure about this last one).
Good luck.

Birthdays on my calendar are one day early

Has anyone had this issue before? After I switched over to a 4S from a 3G, I noticed that all my contacts' birthdays are showing up one day early on my calendar. However, when I go to the contact entry in the address book, it displays correctly there. What's weird about this issue is that both my mac and ipad display birthdays using the same method and it's correct on both of those. They all sync via mobileme, and running iOS5 and Snow Leopard.
Before erasing my phone's contacts, and trying to resync them, I was wondering if this could be fixed via the phone, or the bug isolated and sent up to Apple's software department.
Thanks!

dom_99, this worked for me: (thanks to @fortbailey)
(1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
(2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
(3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
(4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
(5) Sync again.
Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.

Displaying wrong date(One day earlier then the current)

Has anyone experienced this problem. I have an inputText field that is to take in a date value. When I use the DateTimeConverter to check if the date is valid, the returned date valu is always one day earlier than the user input day.
How do I resolve this. Is there a setting that I need to change?
Thanks in advance.

Which JSF Implementation is this code extract from?
I am using IBM WebSphere 6.0 and also experiencing a problem with an InputText displaying the day before. For example when the InputText value is set to 21-Apr-2007, 20-Apr-2007 is displayed. Here is a simplified version of what I'm doing:
Page - inputTextDates.jsp
     <h:inputText id="opDate" styleClass="inputText"
          binding="#{inputTextDatesBean.htmlInputText}">
     </h:inputText>
Request-Scope Bean - InputTextDates.java
     private HtmlInputText htmlInputText;
     public HtmlInputText getHtmlInputText() {
          if (this.htmlInputText == null) {
               this.htmlInputText = new HtmlInputText();
               // create a calendar for manipulating dates for the chosen timezone
               GregorianCalendar gregorianCalendar = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("US/Central"));
               gregorianCalendar.setTime(new Date(107, 3, 21));
               // create a date time converter for the timezone
               DateTimeConverter dateTimeConverter = new DateTimeConverter();
               dateTimeConverter.setTimeZone(gregorianCalendar.getTimeZone());
               // create a calendar picker
               HtmlInputHelperDatePicker htmlInputHelperDatePicker = new HtmlInputHelperDatePicker();
               htmlInputHelperDatePicker.setId("myId"); // have to give an ID
               // populate the input text
               this.htmlInputText.setValue(gregorianCalendar.getTime());
               this.htmlInputText.setConverter(dateTimeConverter);
               this.htmlInputText.getChildren().add(htmlInputHelperDatePicker);
          return this.htmlInputText;
     public void setHtmlInputText(HtmlInputText htmlInputText) {
          this.htmlInputText = htmlInputText;
     }

"All-day" events in iCal appear one day early in week-view on iPad

Just got an iPad and synced with iCal. I noticed that "all day" events appear correctly in day-view and month-view, but in week-view, they are shifted one day earlier. But if I choose to edit such an event, the information is still correct, e.g. an all-day event for Monday, May 31 and Tuesday, June 1, has that information, and it appears on Monday and Tuesday in day- and month-view, but in week-view, it has "slid left" such that it appears on Sunday and Monday. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?

I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

Birthdays show up on the calendar one day early.

All of the Birthdays that I loaded in the contacts show up one day early on my calendar. Has anyone else seen this or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Duplicate alarms for calendar events on N9

I noticed I get multiple alarms for calendar events on my N9. For some events, I get four times the same notification. I also sometimes get notifications for deleted events.
I sync my calendar over bluetooth. Since I had some troubles setting up the sync, I deleted the calendar a few times and synced again. So I have the impression that the alarms of the events of the deleted calendars are still stored in some database. I guess this causes the same alarm to be triggered multiple times and alarms for deleted events to be displayed.
Is there a way to re-generate the internal alarms database?
(I did already upgrade to PR1.1, this didn’t fix it.)

I used BT sync with Windows 7 (64 bit), because I was not able to do USB sync (as N9 is not supported by any Nokia PC sync soft). After that I had a real mess: Each event was multiplied to occur multiple times during a day, thoughout each week, throughour each year, e.g. for example meeting scheduled for 10am on October 20, 2011, occurred a number of times on the same day, and each previous week until 2005 (when my calendar starts). An event that was scheduled back in 2005 occurred each week throughout 2011. The same thing happened to my Outlook. So you can imagine a mess that I got with my calendar after syncing with N9. Thanks that I had intact calendar on my Ipad and was able to restore my Outlook. I had to to manually correct calendar on N9 (because any further attempts to sync with Outlook) resulted in the same mess. When I say manually I mean that I deleted all entries (takes time) and re-entered only ones that I really needed (such as birthdays, other anniversaries and meetings from October 2011 forward). After that I did not risk syncing N9 with Outlook anymore in expectation of a decent sync software from Nokia (which I doubt will come, since even their latest soft Nokia Suite is not supporting N9 (although there some users were able to successfully sync with PC Suite, and some installed previous version of Ovi Suite, upgraded it to Nokia Suite and it works now for them -- but not for my very special N9). Having fianlly lost confidence in Noikia I decided to become a happy user of iPhone (with all or at least most soft needed being put in place by Apple or 3rd parties).

Calendar off by one day

Just noticed today that my Palm Desktop has shifted all of my recurring dates between April and November back one day. Most things, like birthdays, are all off one day during this time frame (every year). It also shifted some non-recurring events back one day. What the heck can cause this. Any ideas? Help!
Post relates to: Palm m505

I'm having the same issue with event dates on Palm Desktop v4.1 between April and October being changed to one day early. However, at the fringes, the dates are correct. For example, events on April 1 and 2 remain OK but one on April 8 was moved to the 7th. Similarly, an event on October 21st is now on the 20th but one on October 31st is OK. That would seem to indicate that the period might have to do with when DST used to start and end (I think). Furthermore, appointment times during this period were advanced one hour.
Events on my Palm IIIxe handheld are all OK but I haven't done a synch since 3/4/07, the week before the new DST change date. (I never changed the time on the handheld for DST.) I haven't wanted to do another one, even forcing the handheld to update the desktop, because I've since made changes on the desktop that I'd have to recreate, if I can remember all of them.
I am running Windows XP Pro but am way behind on OS updates so don't believe that would have been the cause in my case. I manually changed the Windows desktop time on March 11th. At that time, I forgot to change the setting so that it would not update the time from an online service and I remember I had to change it again when the old DST date came around. While I can understand how this could have had an impact on calendar times, I don't understand why it would affect dates.
I may be forced to manually fix things on the desktop but would much prefer if there was an easier solution. Mostly, I'd like to make sure, after doing all that, the problem doesn't repeat itself.
