How to enter floating time zone in iPhone?

It is easy to enter a floating time zone in iCal, but I cannot find a way to enter a new appointment with a floating time zone directly into the iPhone. How is it done? I can find nothing on this in the iPhone Users Guide or on this forum.

That means that the iPhone calendar is NOT equivalent to iCal. This is a big issue for me since travel is part of my work. My alternative is a Palm device where all appointments are "floating." The problem with Palm is that the other functions are not in the iPhone's league. I feel marooned in a spot where no PDA has it all.

I use floating time zone with all of my iCal entries. But then the times of the entries do not print when printing month view. Is there a fix for this?

Sorry to have repeated this question as if I were answering it. Just a mistake. I'm just now learning how to use this site.

Floating Time Zones messed up in Mobile Me and Published Calendars

Having researched this for 3 years, I'm sure only Apple can answer this... but it would be very reassuring to know if others are frustrated with this too!
FLOATING TIME ZONES, incredibly, are not supported when PUBLISHING and SHARING iCAL!
I travel a lot. I store my flight times and appointment times. When I'm in one time zone I frequently want to share information about my schedule with people in other time zones. ALL I want is to store and share my calendar items with the relevant time in the place they occur. SO I use Floating Time Zones. (And of course usually set my Time and Date for the place I am in)
IF someone reading this learns whether anyone CARES about this - please let us know. There is no real iCal support anywhere else except here.
I have used a Mac for 20 years and this is the first time that Apple has let me down, with no hope in sight.

OK: I am in Geneva when I make my reservation to fly from NY to Los Angeles. I enter a single event: my flight with start time in NY and end time in LA. I enter a second event - a wedding in Los Angeles.
Now I'm in Istanbul and trying to make plans with family and friends. The folks in NY just want to know what time the wedding is in L.A., not what time it will be in NY when the event happens. The folks in Geneva just want to know what time my flight arrives in NY so they can talk intelligently about what time my rendezvous in Manhattan will be....
All I want is to have the freedom to ONLY EVER see the time in the time zone of the event. I want to be free when I travel to re-set the clock to show me the time of the place I am in, without that changing ANYTHING in my calendar display.
Similarly, no one else that I share my calendar cares wants to know what time something in another time zone corresponds to in the time zone they are in at the moment.
I think it should be simple, but I can't seem to do it. I just want to enter the times that I want for the beginning and ending of an event, and for it to ALWAYS to display the time I entered and NOTHING else... on my laptop... on Mobile Me... and when I publish with iCal...
Is it possible?

How setup Airport Express time zone "Asia/Krasnoyarsk" automatically?

Hello!
I need your support to understand how AirPort Express sets time zone automatically.
I live in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Upon connectin AirPort Express for the first time the time zone was set as "Asia/Hong Kong" and the box "Set time zone automatically" was checked. Few days later time zone automatically changed to Asia/Krasnoyarsk.
I wonder how the AirPort figured that out and why it didn't determined it just after connection? I mean why it determines it's location not instantly and how it figures out it's location without having GPS module? Can anyone tell?
PS It is not a matter of great importance but i'm very-very curious what's happening with time zone and why it behaves so strange! =))

I found the matter!
If you make a clean setup of AirPort or TimeCapsule from OS X device u have a HUGE number of locations available in your AirPort locations list - including Krasnoyarsk.
If u set up the same device (clean setup, after full reset) with a PC Airport Utility - u have only limited list of locations!
The most interesting thing - that the list of location remains uchanged until u hard-reset the device again! For example, if u had set up a device from an iMac - u will have a full locations list even if you addreess you time capsule from a PC. Vice versa - if u initially set up the device from a PC AirPort Utility - u will not have a full list of locations even if u enter it from an iMac AirPort utility afterwards.

How to download arabian time zone to my iphone4?

how to download arabian time zone to my iphone4?

Not sure exactly what you mean. There is nothing to download to set the time zone: http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph70825e5ae
When setting it manually, simply look for a location in the same time zone, if your community isn't listed.

How to find the Time zone of a given country & state

Hi,
Does anyone know how to retrieve the Time zone of a given Country/ State/ City?
If I give 'United States of America' & 'California' as input, i want to get 'Pacific Standard Time' as output.
Regards,
AMRITA..

There is no such built-in functionality. You would need a special database of all cities in US (if you want US only) or in the whole world that would tell you in which time zone a city lies. One US state may use multiple time zones, so you need a database at city (or, possibly, at least county level).
I have no idea if anybody provides such a database, but Oracle certainly does not. Note also that such database would change over time as time zone assignments change from time to time.

How to fix, incorrect time zone adjustment from iCloud to iPhone Calendar?

I entered a calendar event on iCloud using my PC. The event is displayed an hour later on my iPhone. i.e (iCloud) Flight; 2:15pm --> (iPhone) Flight; 3:15pm.
The Time Zone setting is correct (Eastern Daylight Savings) on both the PC and iCloud.
I have had a similar issue when syncing calendar between Yahoo and iPhone.
Any similar experiences? Can this be fixed?
Thanks.

I re-checked the iCloud timezone settings and found that it was set to "Eastern Standard Time" not Daylight savings time. Odd. I clicked on the map again and it changed to "Eastern Time". I tried again and it seems to be working. I am assuming that the "Eastern Time" timezone adjusts automatically.
I haven't figured out the issue with Yahoo calendar yet. Any suggestions?
I also followed up with Ralph Landry1's suggestion and Time Zone support is set to off. Thanks for the heads up.

How can I correct time zone information

Yesterday Europe/Moscow zone was changet from GMT+4 to GMT+3
I've managed to adjust ical4j.jar library replacing Moscow.ics by this very simple zone file
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Oracle//Calendar Server//EN
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:Europe/Moscow
X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Moscow
BEGIN:STANDARD
TZOFFSETFROM:+0300
TZOFFSETTO:+0300
TZNAME:MSK
DTSTART:19700101T000000
END:STANDARD
END:VTIMEZONE
END:VCALENDAR
After init-config for both davserver and Convergence this jar file is deployed and I see It into
/opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/davserver/WEB-INF/lib/
directory.
Moreover I found modified zoneinfo file into
opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated/jsp/davserver/loader_27469283/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow.ics
I see in the Convegence Options Time Zone Europe Moscow GMT+0300
So far so good.
Bad news when I export calendar via Convergence calendar interface I see in the head of ICS file the following time zone information
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Oracle Corporation/CS 7.0.4.15.0//EN
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:Europe/Moscow
X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Moscow

TZOFFSETFROM:+0400
TZOFFSETTO:+0400
TZNAME:MSK
DTSTART:19700101T000000
END:STANDARD
END:VTIMEZONE
BEGIN:VEVENT
The offset +0400 is absolutely wrong!
Since I see in convergence all events shifted by one hour back respect to lightning data.
I found a lot of information about how to add time zone alias, but have no info about correction existing time zone.
Any comments are welcome.
Thank you, Monk.
P.S.
Operating system time zone information is right.
Java time zone is updated too.

Yes I know about time zone information into VEVENT Object.
Can You provide me URL where I can download plugin you are talking about?
Plugin can be for Firefox or Chrome.
Till now I can only use export calendar button of Convergence Calendar interface.
Here you can find two event
th-17 and th-19 created by Lightning
th-17 - started 17-00
th-19 - started 19-00
According to the Convergence them start at 16-00 and 18-00 respectively.
By the way .Lightning show them correct but fire alarm one hour earlier.
15-45
17-45
Seams that Lightning took wrong time zone information from the server with +4 offset.

How to display system time zone if user time zone is not set?

Hi,
My application implicitely chooses ALA as time zone if the user time zone is not set.
How do I check this?

Hi,
Try using these FM's
TZON_GET_USER_TIMEZONE
GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE
Z_LOCATION_TIMEZONE
You can set the timezone in sy-zonlo by using the 1st FM and setting sy-zonlo in your application.
I think system takes ALA default because its the 1st timezone in the table.(check FM BWDT_LIST_TIMEZONES)

Amit

How does Calendar coordinate Time Zones for events?

By clicking a link at my seminar's web site, I told Mountain Lion Calendar to store an upcoming event that takes place in the Pacific Time Zone. I am in the Central Time Zone. If I visit Calendar, the event shows the Pacific Time start. How do I get calendar to show me the Central Time start when I go to Calendar. I don't want to have to guess which is which?

Mail Preferences. I think this is what Kappy is referring to if you haven't found it.

How to set a time zone in Agentry.ini

Hi All,
I am working on Syclo - MRS integration. We assign a service order in MRS which is in (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh .
When the Syclo client downloads the service order it is in a different time zone and it displays the time according to their time zone.
Which creates a mismatch in the assignments.
I have modified the time zone in Agentry.ini to pick the time (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh. but this is not working.
Can you please check the Agentry.ini or suggest how to set this.

Hi Neha,
The [TimeZoneAlias] section should have all the mobile device time zone in it. The spelling has to be exactly what is seen on the mobile device. The Mobile Device timezone transmits to the Agentry Server , it maps based on what the server understands, then transmit back to the Backend.
Eg:
[TimeZoneAlias]
Australian Eastern Standard Time=(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
India Standard Time = (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi"
Note: Agentry server while adjusting the timezone gets the list of timezones from Windows registry. It was found that some of the timezone settings may not be recognized by the Windows OS in the server. Please verify the same.
Modify your Agentry.ini to include the exact spelling of your mobile device time zone alias plus the corresponding equivalent as understood by the Agentry Server. I am also attaching the official KBA note tied to Time Zone Alias.
