How to escalate Time Zone bug in iPhone Calendar to Apple?
Hi, does anyone know how to escalate a bug in the iPhone calendar software to Apple?
Time Zone support on the iphone which causes calendar items created in location "Kuwait" to be saved as "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time", which means that they arrive one hour out of sync in iCal.
To replicate the problem:
1. Turn on time zone support in both the iPhone and iCal
2. Set the location to Kuwait on both
3. Create an item in the calendar on the iphone
4. Allow it to sync over Mobile Me
5. See that it turns up 1 hour out in iCal
6. Open the event in iCal and notice that it is set to "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time"
The workaround is to turn the time zone on the iPhone to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which apparently is correctly matched to "Arabian Standard Time"
Thanks

How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv while doing a phone call at the same time?
When I take a call on the iphone, iphone stops streaming the music to apple tv until I finished the call.
thx!

PS: did ask the same question to apple hotline in germany. Answer: we don´t know... funnyWelcome to the Apple Community.
As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone. -
So is there a fix for this Time Zone bug?
apple, is there a fix to this Time Zone bug in Calendar?
You are not talking to Apple, just other Apple users. If you are experiencing something you think is a bug, you will have to describe it or reference some description. I am unaware of any specific Time Zone bug.

How to handle time zones?
I'm trying to use some external data in Numbers and I'm having trouble. First, there was the iso-8601 issue, (I don't see functions for converting to/from).
Second, once I've converted them, (using a combo of another program and some function work), I'm not seeing how to represent time zone info in the date/time format.
Could someone please point me towards how time zone info is packed/unpacked into whatever time format Numbers is using?Hm. Thanks, but that wouldn't really help with the time math like durations or using date/time values as coordinates for graphs.
I've converted them all to GMT which works for most of the math but leaves me with a lousy presentation since the times are completely off. It doesn't work very well to say that certain events are more common at 5:00 GMT than at 8:00 GMT when we're in GMT+8, (or GMT+7 for part of the year). People tend to ignore the time zone when reading the report and then get confused because the times don't match their expectations.
And I really don't want to implement GMT -> localtime conversions, not even for one time zone. :\.
Thank you for the confirmation that Numbers is broken on this rather than that I was missing something. -

Hello wlbrown1023
Check out the article below on using AirPlay. The main thing is to swipe up and access Control Center, and then you will see an option for AirPlay. Tap AirPlay and then select Apple TV and you are good to go.

Time zone bug in Belle browser
My Nokia 700 running Belle 113.020.1506, browser version 8.3 has a bug with time zones.
Any Australian East Coast time zone with DST offset (Hobart, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney) has the browser report a GMT offset of 34, which is invalid. The correct value should be 10. This causes some mobile websites not to work.
Go to http://grega.co/time.html - this should return
Timezone: GMT+1000 GMT Offset: 10
This works OK on Opera Mini on my phone, but the Nokia browser returns a GMT offset of 34There's the iPhone feedback page http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

How to set time zone for a session in Client Only installation
Environment:
OS : Unix (HP-UX 11.0)
Oracle DB : Ver 8.0.5
Developer : Ver 1.6 ( Client only Installation)
Developer also on Unix.
RDBMS and Developer Installed on different
home directories.
Our development is Forms 4.5 on X windows.
Runtime is forms character mode.
Probelm Description:
To run the application I am using TWO_TASK to connect to the database. In our application we have to take care of time zones. For that in previous versions(NO TWO_TASK used) I used TZ unix environment variable, to get time zone dependent time wherever sysdate is used.
Now because I am using TWO_TASK, oracle is no more using users TZ settings.
Question : Is there any way I can make oracle to use the TZ environment settingThanks for replying Johnny!
What you are referring to is adding a city. I need to know how to set the time zone in settings -> Date & Time -> Timezone. Unless & untill this is set properly the iPod will never show me the right time. Please help me with it.
I will definately use your advice on the second query.
Thanks once again!

How to remove time zone offset when we use a number as a relative time variable?
Hi everyone!
I've a small doubt in using a number as a relative time. If I change the display properties of a numeric to relative time, it takes default value "5:30 AM", may be because I'd set time zone to Indian time during installation ( India is 5:30 hours ahead of Greenwhich). I want it to take default value "12:00 AM'. Please help me how I do it?
( I can also subtract 5:30 hours and get the same. But I want that to have "12:00 AM" by default......?!)
Thank you all..!

As Ravens already stated, you are using ABSOLUTE time. Relative time can only be set to display hours, minutes, and/or seconds.

How to update time zone setting in Aperture 2
When you install Aperture 2 you specify a time zone. However, I can't figure out how to change Aperture's time zone setting. I used to live on EST, so most of my photos are in EST. But since then I've moved to HST (Hawaii Standard Time) and purchased a MacBook and Aperture 2. I'm now trying to import photos taken in EST and can't seem to import them with the correct EST date/time. I changed my MacBook settings to EST and the date/time in the import window shows the label "EST" but the time has been adjusted to 5 hours ahead, which is HST. It is still adjusting the time from EST to HST even though my MacBook is setup to EST at this moment in time.
Have you tried changing the date time settings in your camera?

How to change Time Zone rules in CPS for Russia
Hi
Coming up to DST change this weekend 30th Oct we found that Russia is not changing their time anymore for the first time ever
Were based in the UK but we have jobs scheduled for Europe/Moscow time which is set at +3 hours after the clocks going back this weekend Europe/Moscow will be +4 hours
But Russia is not set to change their timezone anymore, but CPS will still make the change which I dont want anymore.
Timezones are listed under Environment - Timezone but the only thing you can edit is the description.
How do I go about removing DST from the Europe/Moscow time zone?
we still want to use Europe/Moscow for certain jobs.
Kind Regards
JonathanHello,
Russia is cutting back on the number of timezones these years and also changing their definitions.
The timezones are maintained in the Java JVM you are using. To make sure you have the latest definitions make sure you have patched your JVM with the correct timezone definitions.

How to change Time (Zone) that Project On-Line install defaults to
We are using Project Online. and the time displayed eg., Job Queue, is 3 hours behind. ie., it is displaying Pacific time, but we are in the Eastern Time zone. Can we change it? If so how?
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos, Montreal, QC (Canada)Hello,
There are certain areas in Project Online that will display the time zone incorrectly. All you can do is change the Regional Settings for the PWA site collection but that will not update all times as you have seen. I'm not sure if this is something
that will be resolved in the near future or not. It might be worth you opening a support ticket via the Office 365 tenant so that all the requests can officially be logged / tracked.

How get current time zone offset ?
Hi,
I am facing to a problem related getting time zone offset.
Below code is used for my application :
NSDate* sourceDate = [NSDate date];
NSTimeZone* destinationTimeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
timeZoneOffset = [destinationTimeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:sourceDate] / 3600;
But sometimes seems that above code is getting work wrong. For example :
Knoxville, TN : time zone offset should be -5. But my code resulted it as -4.
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=843
This web is related my issue. Here is :
Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours
Daylight saving time: +1 hour
Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -4 hours
Actually I don't know how get to "Daylight saving time:".
Can you correct this issue for me ?
Please advice.
Thanks.Hi Raiden -

I think your code is giving you the correct offset for Knoxville on today's date. The offset for Eastern Standard Time (EST) is -5, but Knoxville is currently on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is one hour later than EST. (-5) + 1 => (-4), which is what your code computed.
Note that [secondsFromGMTForDate:|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Co coa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTimeZoneClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/doc/uid/20000190-CACDIAIC] is correcting for daylight savings time. That's why you need to pass the date to that method. If you pass a "summer" date, the return offset will be one hour more than it will be for a "winter" date (usually early November to mid March). For example, try moving the date forward 60 days like this:
NSDate *sourceDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:3600 * 24 * 60];
NSTimeZone* destinationTimeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
int timeZoneOffset = [destinationTimeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:sourceDate] / 3600;
NSLog(@"sourceDate=%@ timeZoneOffset=%d", sourceDate, timeZoneOffset);
The above should give you the offset for Knoxville on Dec. 7, 2010, which is a winter date.
Actually I don't know how get to "Daylight saving time:".
You can test a NSTimeZone object with [isDaylightSavingTimeForDate:|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentat ion/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTimeZoneClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/doc/uid/20000190-CHDCJGHE], but you don't need that information when you obtain the offset with secondsFromGMTForDate:.

How change 'home' time-zone in ical?
Hi
Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
guidance welcomed
rossIn the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

Time Zone Bugs In 10.10.2
I still have time zone troubles in Apple Calendar.
I have a few events that were sent to me in Outlook for an 11:00 AM PST start time that are showing in Calendar as starting at 11:00 AM CST. On my iOS devices (running the latest versions) they appear properly as 11:00 AM PST start times. Seems like there's a trouble with the Mac version somehow.
Happy to send screen shots if you'd like, though I can't figure out how to attach them to this discussion thread.TThis seems to be a problem with third party plugins. You should contact Crumble Pop and Pixel Films to see what's happening.
