How to change the timezone of all iCal events?

Hi!
After importing some items from another calendar most of my iCal events are "floating" and not fixed to any timzone. I would like to have them all in "Europe/Germany". Does anyone know howto set the timezone of all calendar events in one step together? Is there perhaps a solution in AppleScript?
Thanks in advance!

1)Export the calendar to an iCal File
2)Use your favorite Textedito to replace
DTSTART: by DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
DTEND: by DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
EXDATE: by EXDATE;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
RECURRENCE-ID: by RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
inside any VEVENT block. Take care not to change anything in the VTIMEZONE block at the beginning of the file.
3) Save the file and reimport it to a new iCal Calendar. Double check the imported events against their counterparts in the calendar exported.

  • How to change the header in all pages at once?

    I'm new to iWeb and can't figure out how to change the headers of all pages without having to go through and do it to every page. There should be a way, but is this a feature iWeb doesn't have?

    Hi,
    Refer following link which states how to change the Page Setup setting (just an addition to above poster's explanation):-

  • How to change the timezone in photo metadata?

    After returning from a recent trip out west, I forgot to change my camera's timezone to the local time.  As a result, hundreds of photos from a long weekend trip were recorded with the wrong timezone.  I imported them to Lightroom 5 and discovered the problem.  Of course, I used the Edit Capture Time feature as described in the online help: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/metadata-basics-actions.html#change_the_photo_captu re_time
    But that changes the time of each photo's metadata, rather than the timezone.  There's a subtle difference; the better solution would be to change the timezone so that all future interpretations and exported times would be correct.  For example, here's the original metadata from a RAW image:
    DateTimeOriginal                : 2014:08:23 09:13:45
    Timezone                        : -07:00
    and here's what appears on an exported JPG file, after the capture time was edited:
    DateTimeOriginal                : 2014:08:23 11:13:45
    TimeCreated                     : 11:13:45
    DigitalCreationTime             : 09:13:45
    DateTimeCreated                 : 2014:08:23 11:13:45
    DigitalCreationDateTime         : 2014:08:23 09:13:45
    [These metadata reports were produced by exiftool.]  Notice how the RAW image includes Timezone (though sadly the JPG export does not).  More to the point, look at the variety of timestamps produced for the JPG file, none of which mention the timezone and two of which have the wrong time (9:13am instead of 11:13am).  Without the timezone information the latter is hard to interpret and looks inconsistent.  Is this a bug in LR5?  or is it a missing feature (to not record the timezone on export)?

    There's not a simple explanation of the behavior you're observing.  It's not a bug -- LR is doing a reasonable job of following imperfect industry standards. 
    The photo/camera industry in general does not make it easy to deal with time zones. LR's general approach is to preserve whatever time zones are present in the metadata but otherwise ignore them -- it doesn't change them, and it doesn't display them. As you discovered, the Edit Capture Time command does not let you change time zone, but it does preserve whatever time zones are present in the metadata  (but see below for one exception).   LR's handling of time zones conforms with Metadata Working Group's Guidelines For Handling Image Metadata 2.0, an industry standard supported by Adobe, Apple, Canon, Microsoft, Nokia, and Sony.
    The EXIF metadata inserted by cameras does not provide an official field to record time zone (folklore among metadata geeks is that one of the technical leaders of the spec, when challenged about that, asked why anyone would want time zones).  Some cameras insert the non-industry-standard EXIF field TimeZoneOffset.  I don't know the entire history of this field, but it's not defined in the EXIF 2.2 or 2.3 specs, nor mentioned in the Metadata Working Group's Guidelines For Handling Image Metadata 2.0.  The field is not well-defined -- it only allows offsets of whole hours, whereas over a billion people live in a time zone whose offset is +5:30 (India). 
    LR preserves EXIF:TimeZoneOffset in your original photo, but it otherwise ignores the field, and it doesn't get copied to exported photos.  This is not unreasonable, given that the field is non-standard.
    The XMP metadata fields, typically inserted by software applications, do support time zones, but including a time zone is optional.  LR preserves XMP time zones that are present when the image is imported, even if you change the date/time with Edit Capture Time.  Your original photo did not contain any XMP fields (cameras typically don't insert XMP), so there were no time zones there for LR to preserve.
    The Digital Creation date/time fields you observed are intended to record when an image was digitized.  With digital cameras, that's generally the same as capture time, but with scanned images, the date/time of digitization (scanning) is different from the date/time the image was originally captured.  LR's handling of these two different date/times isn't great, but it's adequate for most users.  LR will insert the digitization date/time when an image is first imported (if it doesn't already exist), but Edit Capture Time changes just the capture time, not the digitization date/time.  (A few years ago Adobe changed Edit Capture Time in a point release to also change digitization date/time, on the theory that LR is designed for images from digital cameras, and the two date/times should always be the same; but a number of users who also used LR to manage scanned images complained loudly that LR was overwriting precious metadata, and Adobe backed out that change in the next release.)
    So Edit Capture Time will leave photos taken by digital cameras with an incorrect digitization date/time.  But very few users care about that -- it's only users with scanned images who care about the difference, and at least LR will avoid overwriting digitization date/time.
    A suggestion for using Exiftool to examine image metadata: Use the "-a -G" options, which causes Exiftool to show which section of the metadata the fields are coming from.   Given the complexity of the legacy metadata industry standards, this will help you better understand what your camera and software tools are doing.  For example:
    [EXIF]          Modify Date                     : 2014:08:31 10:01:45
    [EXIF]          Date/Time Original              : 2014:08:13 11:53:44
    [EXIF]          Create Date                     : 2014:08:13 08:53:44
    [IPTC]          Date Created                    : 2014:08:13
    [IPTC]          Digital Creation Date           : 2014:08:13
    [XMP]           Modify Date                     : 2014:08:31 10:01:45-07:00
    [XMP]           Create Date                     : 2014:08:13 08:53:44
    [XMP]           Metadata Date                   : 2014:08:31 10:01:45-07:00
    [XMP]           Date Created                    : 2014:08:13 11:53:44
    [Composite]     Date/Time Created               : 2014:08:13 11:53:44
    [Composite]     Digital Creation Date/Time      : 2014:08:13 08:53:44

  • How to change the location of all fotos in the iPhoto library?

    my iPhoto 11 library is stored locally on my macbook.
    however, my fotos (the actualy bits) are stored externally on a NAS box.
    (or in other words: option "Importing: [ ] Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not checked)
    recently i purchased a timecapsule and i now want to move all fotos from the NAS box to the timecapsule.
    i am looking for a way to batch-change the location of all fotos from let's say "/Volumes/MyNas/..." to "/Volumes/MyTimecapsule/...".
    can this be done? any ideas?
    thank you.
    ps: i know how to deal with xml and .db/.apdb files. so don't be gentle on me ;-)

    Not really unless you search the forums and find the older post describing how to hack the SQLite database to accomplish this
    Or use Aperture which can do this easily
    However if you are using your Time Capsule as a Time Machine bakcup volume it is not a good place to put your photos - if you do you have no backup of them which means that sooner of later you will lsoe them - and sooner or later TM will fill the volume and make it impossible to add photos

  • How to change the template of all my title pages

    ok i made a film using cs4
    with 20 seperate title pages all the title
    pages started from the same title template
    what i want to know is :-
    is it possable to change the properties of all the title pages at the same time
    for instance change the font / or font colour of all titles with one or two clicks
    rather than me go through each title page separately
    cheers

    ok
    so are you saying that in the future
    if i was to make all my titles from THE SAME template AND using the "based on current" function
    i would then be able to make adjustments to the first title in the project panel and the adjustments would be reflected on all titles  throughout the timeline

  • If someone changes the date on an iCal event should the date change for the invitees if they accept the change?

    My wife's calendar schedule is pretty hectic and prone to date changes. If I accept the initial invitation it appears correctly in my calendar and syncs correctly to all my devices but I find that if she changes a date and I accept the new change, the event stays the same in my calendar. 
    Is this correct or am I having problems?
    Cheers

    Thanks - I did get the event to go back to 2008, but should the individual clips move to the correct spot in the timeline also?  I need to go back and play with it a little more - I would guess you might have to look at the length of clips on either side of where you want the new clip placed for it to work correctly. 
    So, I guess my 2nd question is if you can get the new clips that were added at the end of the event to move into the correct position within the event.

  • How to change the alarm sound for CALENDAR events?

    I missed an important meeting today, thanks to the almost-inaudible and incredibly short alarm sound in the Calendar app.
    Is there a way to change the alarm sound for events in Calendar?
    Setting another alarm in Clock is viable but obviously inconvenient.
    Thanks in advance!

    Settings > Sounds > Calendar. Maybe it was inaudible because yoursound was not turned up.

  • On iCal,how to change the travel time mode from car to foot?

    on iCal (Mavericks), how to change the traveltime mode before an event ? i only have the "time" choice with "5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours". I would like to choose  "foot/walking" , "car" or "Train/bus".

    America is only one of 197 countries in the world. So if you do not use a bike, your feet or public services to travel so, maybe 196 other countries do it :-)

  • Changing the Owner of all Objects in Instance ?

    How to Change the Owner of all Objects in Instance, like for example the Procedure: sp_changedbowner in an MS-SQL-Database, who changed the Owner of the actual Database !
    I'am looking for another possibility to do it by export the Datbase and import as new Owner !

  • How to change the default view of published iCal's URL

    I am publishing an iCal for a nonprofit group and link to the calendar from the group's website. The default URL given (in the send publish email option) leads to the week view of the current week. I would prefer the link to take site visitors to the month view of the calendar. If I go to the month view and copy the URL for it, and use that for the link, I have to change the URL each month, because the URL that comes from the month view will only show the month it was at the time I copied the URL -- it will not change with the new month. Does anyone have any idea of how I can change the URL so that it leads to the month view of whatever the current month is?
    I should note that I know how to change the default view in the my browser, but I would rather not have to explain how to do this to all the people viewing the calendar -- just wanting the correct month view to show up when they click the link, without having to change it each month.
    I would be so grateful if anyone has some insight on this!
    Thanks.

    Carlo,
    The fact that this question has been left unanswered for over 2 months seems a little negligent on the part of Apple Support.
    This Forum is unfortunately not Apple Support. According to Apple:
    What is Apple Discussions and how can it help me? 
"Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products. You'll find a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products that will help you get the most out of your purchase.

    In direct response to your questions, I would say that (as observed by the OP) anyone who subscribes to a published calendar can make a change to their desired view using the "Preferences" icon which is displayed underneath the mini-month calendars.
    There is no way that I know of to directly or conveniently change the time-range. There may be workarounds, but I could not find a suitable solution for you.
    I would recommend that you provide iCal Feedback, if you are interested in informing Apple of your desires.

  • How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

    How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?  Even if I painstakingly try to
    re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
    I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this.  Has
    anyone found the solution?  Thanks!

    I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
    it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks
