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.

  • ICal and time zone stamps?

    Apologies that this is long. It's three questions about trouble I've recently encountered using iCal.
    I imported 80+ appointments into iCal from a .ics file created by Oracle Calendar.
    1. The .ics file did not contain any time zone info, and iCal associated each of the imported appointments with GMT, despite the Mac's zone set to "Denver" in the Date & Time preference pane and iCal's time zone set to "America/Denver". Why doesn't iCal associate unassigned appointments with its own time zone?
    2. Each of those appointments appeared in iCal at the correct local time, despite being associated with GMT. That is, with iCal's zone set to "America/Denver" I would have expected an item imported as, e.g., 10:00 GMT to show up at 17:00 in the iCal window. But none of them did--they all appeared as if they were MST, but with GMT stamps, and I don't understand why.
    3. I didn't actually find out these items were associated with GMT until after I synced with my Palm Tungsten E. All of the items imported as GMT were shifted 7 hours on the Palm. So I went back to iCal and for each and every one of the imported appointments I changed the time zone to "floating" and then "America/Denver". (If I went straight from GMT to MST the appointment jumped 7 hours back in time, and I got tired of this.)
    After that process, every event in iCal was associated with MST. I then synced with the Palm and found that, to my surprise, the imported events still showed up on the Palm as if they were GMT, i.e., shifted forward 7 hours. I should add that I didn't merge, I told the sync conduit to erase the Palm's contents.
    Back to iCal. I used "Back up Database..." and "Revert to Database backup...", then sync, telling conduit to erase Palm's contents. No change.
    Back to iCal. I select one of the troublesome events, "cut" it to the clipboard, and then paste to bring it back. After a sync that one event shows up correctly on the Palm, i.e., as MST as intended.
    The question at the end of a long #3 is, if an event is imported with the wrong time zone stamp, why does it retain that stamp despite being manually changed to a different time zone?
    I know the knowledge base has an article on incorrect time zone stamps, and that a possible fix is to export the entire database and then import to a new calendar. I didn't find this out until recently, and it doesn't address iCal's behavior so much as provide a workaround.
    PowerMac G5 DP 2.0 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    After looking more closely at the .ics files exported by Oracle Calendar I see that events are exported as if they were GMT; iCal is, indeed, showing the appointments at the correct local time. This makes my first two questions irrelevant.
    However, question #3 still remains: why or how does the original GMT stamp persist after manually setting an event's time zone to local time, "America/Denver"?

  • Set Time Automatically without changing time zones?

    Is there a way to choose Set Time Automatically (in Settings/General/Date & Time) and not have Calendar change the times of my appointments when I change time zones?

    Here's what solved my problem: NOT checking Set Time Automatically, and NOT checking Set Time Zone Automatically.  Then manually selecting the proper time zone and city.
    Doing that displays the correct local time, without changing iCal times.

  • 6300 - Changing Time Zone (GMT+1) Changes All Cale...

    I have a 6300 and a calendar full of important meetings and so on.
    Last weekend we went on to GMT+1 hour (British Summer Time).
    Changing the time settings in the phone to "GMT+1" changes all the calendar times to +1 hour as well. 
    Why does the phone do this (is this dumb or what !) ? 
    How can I get the phone NOT to change the calendar times whilst changing the time of day ?
    Good wishes to all.

    Solved!

    Google calendar has resolved this problem for me by allowing Time Zone entries for Calendar items.
    1. I now enter calendar entries with the local time in my Google Travel calendar.
    2. I then duplicate the entry in my Google personal calendar and edit this entry to identify the destination Time Zone.
    3. I then allow Google calendar to update my Outlook calendar. Entries there will show up with the destination time.
    e,g. a flight departure from Madrid is scheduled for 6pm. It will show in my Google personal calendar and in my Outlook calendar as 2am the next day. It will still show in the Travel calendar as 6pm.
    4. I let Ovi Suite synchronize my Nokia phone calendar with Outlook which inserts all entries with times for the appropriate time zone e.g. 2am in Madrid.
    5. Now I no longer need to disable automatic Time Zone adjustment in my phone AND lie to the phone that I have NOT changed time zones whenever I change my phone clock for a new country (or Time Zone). In the Madrid example, my calendar entries while in Canada will show a 2am departure and when in Madrid will show a 6pm departure (local time).
    Some benefits are:
    1. Calendar times will show the local time for all entries. 
    2. No more calls home at 2am because I forgot the Time Zone differential.
    3. No more missed appointments because I made an incorrect time adjustment.
    3. Automatic Time Zone correction means my phone is always synchronized with local time. This is significant since I have observed that the phone's internal clock tends to drift. Automatic synchronization automaticallt corrects this.
    Points to Consider:
    1. Google is my primary calendar because I can control it's directionality.
    2. Entries in my Google Travel calendar allow me to see the unadjusted times of Calendar entries, e.g. my Madrid flight is at 6pm. Since Google allows you to see multiple calendars simultaneously, I can see events with both destination and home times.
    3. Google will only update one calendar to Outlook (my personal calendar) which is why the Time Zone adjusted times are updated in my Google personal calendar and then to Outlook.
    4. Ovi Suite has insufficient controls on updates and sometimes will reinstall Outllok entries which have been deleted or changed. Because Outlook cannot update the Google calendars it or the Nokia calendar cannot corrupt my master calendar on Google.
    5. This may not resolve all the convoluted Time Zone boundaries experience in the USA but should help.
    6. Have had no problem with DST but also am not dealing with the convoluted Time Zone boundaries experience in the USA.
    7. Before and currently I stll place a copy of the input data in the Description section of my Google calendar entries. These will show up in the Nokia Description unadjusted and immune from change due to outside causes.

  • Auto update of time when changing time zones - PLEASE help.

    I travel for a living and I can't figure out how to get this 8310 to auto update the time when I fly from one time zone to another. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you so much in advance!

    I'm sorry to inform you that the blackberry does not have a feature like this yet. You can read this FAQ and it will give you some tips though.
    Why doesn't my time update correctly when I change Time Zones? - BlackBerryFAQ.com
    You would need to set that manually and enter the meeting times in accordingly.
    Sorry!

  • Problem Changing Time Zones

    Why does the Pre calendar change timezones automatically when traveling across the country?  This is very frustrating!  If I am in Los Angeles on Monday and get word of a meeting in New York at 12:00pm (noon) on Wednesday, I want to simply put the meeting into my calendar for Wednesday at noon. But after traveling across the country, my appointment for Wednesday has shifted forward 3 hours on my calendar because it thinks I had the meeting scheduled for 12:00pm WEST COAST TIME. The meeting now shows a start time of 3PM. If I change time zones again, the meeting on my calendar shifts again to reflect the change. My old palms didn't do this.  The iphone doesn't do this.  I think it is simply too much to ask of us to have to make time zone calculations in our heads before entering appointments.  PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP.

    This feature can be turned off so the time zone will not be updated but the time still will be.
    If you open your launcher and then look for date and time(normally on the 3rd page). Once in here turn off "network time zone" this way the time zone will not update when traveling anywhere.

  • Can I set calender invite to set at the same time, even when changing time zone. for example I am in the UK have set a meeting for 10am in NYC for weds, but when getting to NYC it is still set at 10am and doen't adjust to time zone?

    Can I set my Calendar invites on a IOS 7 device to set at the same time, even when changing time zones. For example I am in the UK and need to set a meeting for 10am NYC time on Wednesday, but when I reach NYC I don't want the time zones to adjust which will then adjust my meeting I set in the UK to NYC time.

  • Blackberry and changing time zones

    Is there a way to make the Blackberry change according to local time zone?  my other cell phones got the time from the carrier's system, and if i changed time zones the phone would display the local time it got from the tower.  But the Blackberry stays on it's original time, regardless of where I am.
    Steve

    No, you can't change that. BlackBerrys do not automatically change with the timezone.
    There are valid reasons for that, regarding the calendar and the way it adjusts the times of scheduled meetings.

  • Changing time zones and synching

    I have changed time zones and all the information in my palm is now messed up, having switched to match the current time zone. How do I change this without doing each one individually? I will also need to do this again when I go back to my former time zone.
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: Zire

    I understand why it did it - I just need to know if there is a way to fix it so I don't have to deal with dates/times being messed up for three months. The difference in time zones is 10 hours, so it changes things drastically - not only by a few hours. Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks.

  • Changing time zone

    This isn't a Dreamweaver question but I thought someone here
    might be able to help.
    How do I change my server's time zone? Right now MySQL seems
    to be timestamping every record with Mountain time. I would like it
    to be Eastern by default.

    MySQL lets you set the timezone on a pr. session basis. Here we first view a datetime, then change time zones, then view the same datetime again:
    $ mysql
    mysql> use information_schema
    mysql> select CREATE_TIME from TABLES where CREATE_TIME is not NULL limit 1;
    +---------------------+
    | CREATE_TIME         |
    +---------------------+
    | 2010-06-10 09:37:01 |
    +---------------------+
    1 row in set (0.03 sec)
    mysql> SET SESSION time_zone = 'America/Los_Angeles';
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> select CREATE_TIME from TABLES where CREATE_TIME is not NULL limit 1;
    +---------------------+
    | CREATE_TIME         |
    +---------------------+
    | 2010-06-10 00:37:16 |
    +---------------------+
    1 row in set (0.03 sec)
    Note how the displayed datetime is different. Wouldn't it be fine to call "SET SESSION time_zone"?

  • Change time zone of many events

    I've moved time zones. How do I change the time zone of all my extant events to be in the new time zone?

    Dr. Pantzo,
    I will presume you are using Snow Leopard.
    Use iCal>Preferences...>Advanced>Turn on time zone support.
    Open System Preferences...>Date & Time>Time Zone: either check "Set time zone automatically," or pick your closest city.

  • Why does iCal change what calendar my event is saved in?

    When I try to save evnts in a calender that isn't my standard choise calendar, iCal saves it, but then it takes about 2 sec and then iCal changes the colour of the event and saved it in my standard calandar.
    What can i do to get it to stopp?
    /EM

    Oops, I didn't notice.  iCal has changed names, and now is called Calendar.  I have Calendar 8.0 and am running Yosemite, OS X 10.10.1

  • Editing a calendar event always changes time zone to CDT

    Whenever I create a calendar event in my iPhone or iPad, it is always created with a time zone of "New York".  It always syncs to my other devices and displays them correctly.   However, whenever I edit the event on another device, it always brings the event up in a time zone of "Chicago" and the times are one hour earlier.  
    For example, I create an event on my iPhone that starts at 11;00am and defaults to the time zone of "New York".  This is what I want.    However, if I try to edit the event on my iPad, it shows the event starting at 10:00am and the time zone is "Chicago".
    This was a problem when I had an iPhone 4s using iOS6 and iOS7.    I now have an iPhone 6 on iOS8, and am still having the same problem.
    Any ideas?

    I was wondering if anybody else has run into this problem.   I've tried everything and cannot figure out how to solve this.

  • 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
    Jonathan

    Hello,
    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.
