How do I schedule event in different time zone

I use MobileMe to sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
I live in Texas (Central time zone).  I'm traveling to California, and want to set a calendar event for 7:00pm (Pacific time zone). With Time Zone Support turned off, if I put the event in iCal for 7:00pm, with an alarm to ring 30 minutes early - when in California, the event shows on my iPhone as occurring at 7:00pm, but my alarm rings 2.5 hours early (4:30pm).  If I turn on Time Zone Support, the event moves to 5:00pm on the calendar on my iPhone.
How can I put something on the calendar for the time I want it to appear, regardless of the time zone I'm in, and have the alarm work properly as well?
In other words - I'm in Texas and I want to put together my California schedule before I leave.  I have a dinner appointment in L.A. at 7:00pm and I want to be alerted at 6:30pm, so I put it on iCal for 7:00pm with an alert 30 minutes before.  When my phone resets its time upon arrival in L.A., I want my calendar to work based on the network time, not Texas time.
HELP!
Thanks in advance!

If the external hard drive is the source, then "download" is a confusing term. To "download", refers to the action of transfering by internet protocol from the internet to a device.
To "copy" those files, it is simply a matter of plugging in the external hard drive via the USB cable provided with that drive to a corresponding port on your Air. The drive should automatically mount, and either be visible by an icon on your desktop, or in a Finder window.
You simply click on the icon, or do similarly within a finder widow to examine the contents of the drive. You would open an additional Finder window and naviagte to your desired flder destination.
Then, simply "drag and drop" the files you wish to copy from the source (the external hard drive), to the destination fold on your Air.

  • 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 to create an event in two different time zones?

    Hello,
    I am traveling a lot and I would like to be able to enter the flight details in iCal - whether on my iPhone, iCloud, i... whatever. The problem is that I cannot manage to enter these details without calculating the time difference. Example:
    I am flying on Saturday from Frankfurt to Japan. My flight takes off at 19:00h local German time and arrives in Tokyo at 13:00h local time (in Japan)
    I can either specify the time zone for Germany or for Tokyo, but is there a way to enter the event from 19:00h German time to 13:00h Tokyo time?
    Thank you very much for your time.
    Larry

    Hi Alex,
    this applies only when the event takes place in one time zone, but in my case I start the event on one time zone and ends in a different time zone. As it is known, the airlines show always the local times on the ticket. Which means that I start my travel at 19:00h German time (UTC +2) and end it at 13:00h Tokyo time (UTC +9). When I create the event I can choose From Date/Time... To Date/Time and below I have Time zone. Ideally I should have two time zones, one for the start and another for the end.
    Since this situation only applies to travelling (I can't think of another case right now), I believe that Apple didn't take this into consideration.
    Any other thoughts/ideas? Other than manually calculating the difference, of course.

  • 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.

  • View events in a different time zone?!?

    I see there are older and closed discussions on this questions, long before before Lion and iCloud came into being.
    I live in Greece which is European Central Time and this is the time zone my iCal is normally set to, with time zone support turned on.
    I was in the US Eastern Seaboard for 4 weeks this past Summer and all my appointments entered while there were entered in EST - or DST, whatever.
    According to the iCal Help Menu
         "If you create any new events while the main calendar view is shifted to another time zone, the new events take the time zone of the current view. When you switch back to your original time zone, the events created in the shifted time zone retain the shifted time zone setting."
    Well, they don't: they appear in whatever time zone the calendar is set to - the correct zone can only be seen if you double click on the event.
    Has anyone found a way around this?
    And how is one supposed to handle the departure and arrival times for flightsthat croos over time zones?
    Sometimes Apple doesn't figure on people encountering these problems: as someone said in an earlier post: do they think they whold wolrd lives on Cupertino time?

  • How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones

    How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones?
    Suppose IT landscape has a global BW in New York, and source systems in americas, europe and asia, then how the time-zones effect on time related things like delta selections on date or timestamp etc.

    As you said BW is global in NY, your source system must be global too. People from various locations can connect to same source system and thus timestamps for delta is always maintained as 1 single time. We have same scenario in our project. Our R/3 system is used by users in US and Europe. So we run deltas twice in day to make sure we got deltas from both locations.
    If scenarios was such that all locations connect to separate R/3 system, then obviously you have multiple queues. That is unique delta queue for each source system so deltas will be pulled as per data in respective queues.

  • How to report with different time zone dynamically based on user's account?

    Hello
    I am wondering is there a way to change the report's date & time data based on user's locale setting in OBIEE?
    Let's say the user log in to OBIEE with eastern time zone setting. The data that's in the database is storing a transaction of $400 at 1am Pacific time.
    So when this user run a query which does something like 'select date, transaction, amount from date, transaction, sales where this = that', it should display the $400 amount done at 4am eastern time instead of 1am pst.
    What I have done is to have data stores in date dimension to be UTC time, and I have also changed the data type of the date column to be 'local time zone'. DB is Oracle DB 11G now.
    Now this query works perfectly well in the DB as long as I run the following commend first:
    Alter session set time zone = 'whatever my time zone'
    and then
    Select date, transaction from tables..
    The date displayed will automatically be converted into different time zone..
    Since everything is working nicely from Oracle DB level, I need to know how to make it work when OBIEE sends the same query down to the DB..
    I know that, probably I will have to enter the above alter session commend in the connection pool, however, I can't hardcode the time zone value.
    I also don't want to store user's time zone in the user table because these users travels a lot. So even if his table setting is EST, but at a given day he can be traveling to pst time zone and view reports.
    Is there a way to dynamically set the time zone based on user's account locale setting?
    Let me know if you guys have implemented something similar or not
    Thanks

    Hello Sarvan
    I have already done that part at the DB level and it is working perfectly with alter session commend before the query.
    My question is, how do I configure OBIEE so that before each user runs a report from BI, the alter session commend will be fired with each user's personal locale time zone setting passed through so that each user will be able to view data according to their different time zone?did you tried with Connection scripts(Execute On connect) in Connection pool.write ur Alter commend to Change Time Zone in this script box.

  • Different time zones in the same calendar subscription

    Dear kind helpers,
    To state my problem as clear as possible, I need to be a bit long. Sorry for that.
    I registered to a calendar displaying the rugby schedule for the VI nations tournament:
    -> http://www.rbs6nations.com/tools/calendars/sixnations-fixtures-6n-all.ics
    from the official web site:
    -> http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/matchcentre/downloadable_fixture_list.php
    The only thing you need to know about this tournament is that it involves 6 teams (hence the name):
    - 2 on the continent, then at GMT+1 (France and Italy),
    - 4 on the British Isles (Englands, Walles, Scotland and Ireland), then at GMT+0
    I think all of these nations have the same summer / winter shifts.
    I'm on the continent, Central European Time for the time zone support feature on iCal (OS 10.9.1).
    I guess it's GMT+1 plus winter shift at the moment.
    I notice the same following problem on my iPod (iOs 5.1.1), sync through iCloud
    Here the problem : it seems all the games are in local times !
    For instance, a game in the Islands (Scotland, England, ...) appears at 5pm whereas I would like it to appear at 6pm (so the time is correctly displayed for British Isles, not for the continent) / a game on the continent (France or Italy) will appear at 5pm and I'm fine because it's right the correct time in my time zone. I've no idea how a game which takes place on the continent appears in the British Isles :-(
    So a few questions :
    - am I clear about the problem ?
    - is it a problem from iCal or from the subscription itself ?
    - in case it's iCal, is there a way to fix the trouble ?
    PS : I experienced the same problem with an other subscription a few years ago ; it was also for a european championship schedule across different time zones displayed in the same calendar. This one was discontinued.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    This is an issue with the subscription itself. The times for the events are set in 'floating' time and whatever time zone you use it iCal will show the event as being at that time local time (which obviously won't be right unless you are in the correct time zone).
    I could post a more technical explanation if you like.
    Best wishes

  • 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.*+

  • Standby atabase in different time zone than Primary databse

    I am curious to know, If my primary database is in NY and I am planning to have my DR in London.
    Is this configuration possible by having primary and standby host box having different time(as their time zones) I am thinking issues about how oracle will cordinate shipment of archive logs which are in different time zones.
    I know one way to configure it....
    even If box is in London, Box will be having time of NY timezone on host..

    I would expect, though, without having had a chance to test it, that you might run into problems using various time-based DataGuard configurations and settings. For example, if you configured your standby to wait X minutes before applying logs from the production server, I would tend to suspect that you'd have issues.
    In the event of a failover, you might also have application-level issues related to "duplicate" dates. If your application runs continuously across daylight savings time switches, you're probably fine, but a lot of apps aren't doing anything in that one hour a year that the clocks fall back an hour and discover that they're not quite as bulletproof as they'd expect.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Duplicate entries in two different time zones

    Somehow iCal imported files (or converted files) into two different time zones--the zone I'm in this year (Asia) and the original zone of the event (US east coast). So I might have an event correctly scheduled at 2pm, April 5, 2001 and a duplicate "false" event scheduled at 1am, April 6, 2001. I now have thousands of such entries, too many to delete manually. It's too late, now that I've made many updates before discovering the problem (all of the duplicate events took place before I moved to Asia), to start over.
    I've turned off "time zone support" since I suspect it was the source of the problem in the first place (I regret ever turning it on).
    I've been able to delete 1500 duplicate "all day" events using a script from John M, but timed events are not identical and therefore can't be uncovered with his script.
    Is there any solution to this problem?

    I never found a solution to 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.
