How to use time zone settings with calendar events ??

After looking through the questions on time zones and synchronization, I still cannot get my Palm Centro to operate the way I think it should.
I have a Verizon Centro, am using Windows XP with Outlook, and synching via the Hotsync manager 7.02 over a USB cable. I am not using Palm Desktop.
I am expecting events to shift time in the calendar when I change the time zone, but they do not.
I am preparing for a trip. I enter several test events into MS Outlook placing the events to occur in a different time zone into my calendar at the time the event would occur in my home time zone (NY). For example, a meeting from 9-10 AM in Los Angeles is put in my MS outlook calendar as 12-1 PM on the day of the meeting. Then I sync, with the time zone of my Centro and Outlook set for New York. The Centro is set to update Date, Time, Zone automatically from the network in New York. The meeting event appears as 12-1 PM on the correct day.
Then I turn off the Centro phone (ie disconnect from the Verizon network), change the time update to "Nothing" -- ie entirely manual, change the time zone to Los Angeles and set the time to the correct time in Los Angeles. I expect the meeting to shift to 9-10 AM in my Centro calendar, but it does not !!!!! I try other combinations -- Leave the time update on Date and Time automatic, and change the time zone to Los Angeles, etc. I think I tried all the combinations. Throughout, I leave the Centro phone off of the Verizon network. I cannot get the meeting to change its time in the new time zone.
What is the trick ??? What did I miss ??
You might ask why I am trying this with the phone turned off -- that is because I am really going much farther than LA, and into a GSM network where I will simply use the Centro as a PDA.
Any advice appreciated.

thepoeta --
Thanks for the response.
Indeed my preference was not set "new events use time zones".
Meanwhile, I had loaded all the applointments from Outlook, about 20 of them,
figuring I would just move them manually en route.
I will play with the time zone preference, but,
is there any way to identify the existing appointments in the
Palm as belonging to a different time zone, just using the Palm Centro ?
Thanks,
Neal

Notification time zone different than calendar time zone

On the iPad...
Notification of a calendar event is displayed in Eastern time zone while the calendar event is scheduled in Central time zone.
Notifications and Calendar are both set to automatic.
How does one get Notifications to display Calendar events as Central time zone?
The MacBook Pro displays both Notifications and Calendar events as Central time zone.

"srvctl setenv database -d fawms -t TZ=CST6CDT" but it didn't work. The DB. is taken the timezone CST5CDT."
As long as you set it the timezone that way - should be good -
Just remember though if you logged in as SYS - you will not see the timezone change from your command at the crs level

How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

Got it!
In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

HT2513 I am having time zone issues with certain calendar requests

There are certain calendar requests I receive via calendare attachment via email that do not align to correct time based on originating time zone. Currently I am in the Central Time Zone and these certain requests come from Eastern Time Zone users. I have looked at time zone settings and all settings appear correct. However, when I look at calendar request to edit the request, it shows that the time zone is central time zone in request.

How to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn.
Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
This is the only safe way to do it via windows.
http://www.dyncommunity.com/questions/18132/accessing-time-capsule-from-windows- 7-over-the-int.html
If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

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.

Why do I have two time zones in my calendar?

With a recent move to a new time zone I now have two time zone in my calendar. My area code is in a central time zone but have moved to the east coast.
I have checked my icloud calendar, iPhone settings and each is set to eastern time.

Hi beachbouy,
If you need to change the time zone for your calendars in iCloud, use the steps in this article -

Time Zone issue with 7.0 and DB2

Hi,
We are having a time zone issue with weblogic server 7.0 and DB2 database. I would really appreciate if somebody provides a solution for this issue.
Our db2 DB is located in PST time zone and weblogic server is located in EST time zone.
When we access current timestamp from db2, we are getting PST time converted to EST and EST time zone attached with timestamp value.
I tried to use resultset.getTimeStamp (1,<calendar>), unfortunately this method is not supported in the DB2 driver version I am using.
We want to get same value as returned by db2 with db2 time zone not weblogic server time zone.
And also when we add new record with timestamp column through web service, regardless the time zone value sent by web service client ".Net" ,
Weblogic server converts the java.util.Date value to weblogic time zone and stores in the db.
For example, client sent 17:00 hours CST, but when it gets stored in db through weblogic ws, weblogic converts 17:00 to 18:00 EST and stores in database as 18:00 hours without any time zone. When we read this value back, we are getting it 18:00 EST only not 17:00 CST.
This is fine as long as writing and reading by same weblogic server. If another weblogic server instance in PST time zone read this value, it takes as 18:00 PST.
Due to this our application always shows timestamp hours differently.
Could some body help me to fix this problem, we are getting this problem in production after we moved our DB2 location to different time zone.
Thanks
Balaji

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.

HT4576 "Time Zone Support" in Calendars should be renamed to "Override Time Zone Support"

So, I live on the East coast and notice, while on a trip just outside Cupertino, that my iPhone Calendar wasn't updating to the the local time, even though my iPhone had correctly updated to PST.
Finally, at the end of my trip, oh so nigh to Cupertino, I find out that my Calendar's erroneous display of time was due to the "Time Zone Support" configuration option.
This is a GROSS misnomer.
iOS requires the specification of a timezone - else the time would be set arbitrarily and would waste the time (NTP) service provided by the cellular provider.
Thus, the "Time Zone Support" option under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" should be relabeled to "Override Time Zone Support" AND the ability to assign an event to a time zone should always be available (though defaulting to the current time zone - unless a 'Default Time Zone' configuration option is added).

The behavior you are seeing is actually inherent in most calendar apps -- the deal is that you are telling your calendar when something happens, not what time. Our company writes a calendaring+task management app for iPhone called Pocket Informant - we get this same question on occassion, so I wrote up a Knowledge Base article discussing some details (keep in mind - this article discusses some features specific to our app that you won't find in iCal/Calendar on MacOS X):
http://webis.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/123/0/why-do-the-times-change -on-my-appointments-when-i-travel-to-a-different-time-zone
In iCal/Calendar on MacOS X, when you turn on Time Zone support, you then get to choose the time zone that you are entering your appointment for. This helps you not have to do the "time zone math" in your head. Thus, if you are in CST and want to set up an appointment for 6pm PST, you can choose PST in the event editor as you enter 6pm. Note that while you are in CST, your event will display in your calendar at "CST time" (8pm), but when you fly out to PST, it will show the "correct" PST time.
While iCal/Calendar supports "floating time zones", I personally would caution against using them for everything (I mentioned a few reasons why in the above kbase article). Use those for events that truly are "time driven" rather than "point in time" driven (such as "I want to go jogging every morning at 5am no matter what time zone I'm in).
Hope that helps some!

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
ross

In 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!

How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

Hello,
I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their network.
Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
Thank you for your help.

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection. You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

Snow leopard Time display ignoring time zone settings??

I travel a fair bit and found the snow leopard's menu bar time display seem to ignore
my time zone settings.
My home base is sydney. and whenever i travel the menu bar time will always show sydney time.
This is AFTER i've manually changed the time zone setting in sys preferences.
I tried running istatmenus, it seems to do the same thing (display sydney time).
any ideas?

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles
