Ical events appear a day later on my mac than on my iphone

I have a problem whereby all of the events in ical on my mac appear a day late than what they should be. They are all fine and correct on my iphone. I've tried editing them but when I sync the iphone again they move again? Is there something in my setting that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jay,
Is Time Zone support On for both devices?
On the iPhone tap Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Time Zone Support.
On the MacBook, launch iCal> click iCal> Preferences> Advanced> Turn on time zone support.
Also make sure the TimeZones matching on the iPhone and MacBook.
Just goto System Preferences on the Macbook> click Date & Time> Time Zone.
Tap Settings on the iPhone> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Time Zone Support.
If the issue persists after verifying Time Zone Support is enabled on both devices and they are both set to the same Time Zone, try restoring the iPhone.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

  • Birthdays entered in Address Book without birthyear appear 1 day late in Calendar

    I'm a Mac newbie... I have been manually entering details of contacts in my Address Book (Contacts app). I have spent hours doing this only to notice that birthdays that I didn't put a birth year on are appearing 1 day late in Calendar. Is there a fix for this? It's driving OC-me crazy!

    Interestingly, I also have this problem, and I also live in NZ... (hi ppls~)
    After reading the posts in this topic, namely Holly's posts about problems occuring between Nov to Feb, I went and changed someone's b'day several times to see what happens.
    What I found out was b'days that are set on or before October 29 display correctly, but b'days set on or after oct 30 display one day early.
    Daylight saving for 2005 starts on the 2 of Oct, so it probably isn't to do with that.
    The other thing I found out, is if you have a b'day set to the first of march, it disappears. It doesn't display at all.. until you go to a leap year, such as 2004. There you will see that the b'day is set to the 29 of feb: one day early. But it probably isnt' related to the 29th of feb, because birthdays set on or after 6th of march are correct, but on or before the 5th of march are a day early.
    Now... one more thing i found out is that if your week starts on sunday (as set in the preferences), the 6th of march is the first day (sunday) in the second line of the march 2005 calendar. The 29th of oct is the last day (saturday) in the second to last line of the oct 2005 calendar.
    This may be a coincidence, but highly unlikely.
    These dates don't change if you change the year to 2004 in sys preferences. Maybe it's just a freak bug, or maybe it can't be fooled by simply changing the year in system prefs..
    I agree with Andy Burson, though, one day early is better than one day late

  • Events are a day late than entered and duplicated

    since ios5, events are showing up on the ipad a day later than they did before the uprade. ical on the mac was doing the same mistake before the upgrade. the actual info of the event shows the correct date and time.
    i did change the first day of the week to monday (on the mac), in case that gives anyone a clue. changing it back doesn't cure it though.
    time support is on - i am located in new zealand - on both ipad and macbook. turning it off doesn't cure the problem.
    on the mac, most events are duplicated, sometimes on the same day, but some events are shown on the correct day plus a day later.
    one of my main reasons for using an ipad, indeed mac at all, is that it "just works".
    sync is now done over icloud.
    does anybody know why this is happening? i need to enter new events but can't trust the software not to stuff it up. back to pen and paper...

    just thought to check on ical on icloud. same problem, but as with the ipad, no duplications.

  • ICal events are missing Day and Month in date

    Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere - this is such a weird fault I was not sure how to search for it.
    My iCal events are missing the Day and Month in their start and end dates - it just shows a 4 digit year which can only be edited as a 4 digit number. All my events are in their correct places but I am unable to create new multiday events.
    This applies to old and new events alike. I tried trashing my iCal prefs file but it made no difference.
    Anyone any ideas? I am using iCal 3.0.8 on Leopard 10.5.8.
    Thanks in advance.

    Worked it out - I was using a custom date format to give me day and date in the menu bar - reverting to one of the standard built in 'British' works - but then I lose my day in the menu bar....

  • My iCal events appearing on a colleague's Mac

    a colleague advised me that my iCal events were populating his iCal. Not just one item, but all of my appointments going back to at least the beginning of the year , client meetings, etc.
    He was unable to edit the items.
    None of my Calendars are shared.
    Have you heard of anything like this? The ramifications are unsettling (thank goodness no appointments with NSA or Leather & Lace Boutique)

    susanjoan50,
    Go to iCloud.com on your computer. Log in and open the Calendar App, to verify that your events are still present. If so, follow the Calendars Archive/Copy procedure listed in iCloud: Archiving or making copies of your iCloud data.
    Then Quit/Force Quit iCal on your computer, and paste this text ~/Library into the Finder>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
    Next open the Calendars Folder in the User Library Folder and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
    Also open the Preferences Folder in the same Library Folder, and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
    Log out/in or restart, and open iCal.

  • Sharing files and iCal events between different users (accounts) on one Mac

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac with Leopard. I have two accounts on this machine: one for myself and one for my girlfriend. I want to share files with her such as iPhoto events (so I don't have to import photos twice), iCal events (so I don't have to send her an email to synch our calendars), music from iTunes and other files.
    Does anyone know how to easily do this? I have tried the drop folder for sharing but it only appears across a network if I am logged in and won't transfer to different users.
    Daniel

    thanks, zevoneer. apparently, I gave up too early in my own search. I'm trying it now - the copy process is taking some time. Well, I had hoped to narrow the access down to only one other account but at least this should provide the access that is needed.

  • ICal events changing duration and start time after .Mac sync

    I sync two OS X Tiger computers (10.4.2) using .Mac to keep my iCal calendars in order. Certain events following a certain date are mutating with longer durations and different start times after syncing between the two computers.
    Anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Any ideas?

    Two different problems here:
    Try one at a time:
    Quit iCal. Delete iCal preferences in your User Library: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist ( you'll have to reset iCal prefs after)
    For those having problems with .Mac sync, reset the sync System Preferences/ .Mac/ Advanced tab.
    Come back with results

  • ICAl event every other day

    How do I create this ?

    You export your calendar, then edit it in a terminal window with vi. You look for your event and it will have a RRULE like that looks like RRULE:FREQ=DAILY. Change that line to RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=2, save the file and then import it back into iCal.

  • Calendar appointments and birthdays in contacts appear one day early? iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S

    Hello, About a week or two ago, I noticed all my appointments were on my calendar a day early, as well as birthdays in my contacts.  I sync my phone with my Macbook using Address Book and Calendar; had done this previous with my iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 without issue.  I unsynced my calender, and then re-synced it, and this corrected the calendar appointments.  However, birthdays still show up a day early on the calendar.  When I look in Contacts, the birthdays are correct.  Has anyone seen this before?  Thanks! --Matthew

    this worked for me: (thanks to @fortbailey!)
    (1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
    (2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
    (3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
    (4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
    (5) Sync again.
    Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.

  • All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

    Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
    If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
    Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
    Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
    But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

    I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
    I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
    I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

  • Applescript ical event at specific time of day

    I'm trying to find a way to have a script create an iCal event for a day away. I use (current date + 1 * days) but this creates the event one day away at the time the script runs. is there a way to create the event one day away at 8:00am each time?

    The current date includes the time, so you can just set the time separately, for example
    set theDate to ((current date) + 1 * days)
    set time of theDate to 8 * hours
    theDate -- > next day at 8:00AM

  • Birthdays in Address Book appear 2 days earlier in iCal

    I have the correct birthdays in Address Book. However about half of the birthdays (not all) appear in iCal 2 days before (e.g., Address book has correct date of 7/13 and it shows up in iCal on 7/11).
    How can I correct this?

    I have a similar problem, but only with some of the birthdays. For some reason two appear one day and one year earlier than I have entered them in address book. I would like to know how to sort out the reason for this and correct the errors.

  • Past iCal events not appearing on my new iPhone 5s.

    Past iCal events appear on my Macbook Pro Cal, iCloud Cal online and my iOS 6 iPad but not on my new iOS 7 iPhone 5s. Ive checked all my Calendars in the Calendar app but still no joy.
    I saw a past post about changing the name of the event and that will re sync it. I've tried it and it does work, but i've got hunders of past events from the last 3 years that i need to view.
    Any ideas??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contacts
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    Calendars
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • When calendar is in list mode events show wrong day

    when i am in list mode the events show one day later than in day or month mode

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    However, when my MacBook Pro goes to sleep, the networking shuts down, and no emails are sent until I get to work and wake it up.
    Hm. True enough. It wouldn't be asleep if it was still sending out emails in the background
    1) Is there a way to get iCal to send out reminders when the computer is sleeping?
    No way that I know. Sleep by definition means the computer's functions are suspended. The system would have to wake, spinning up the hard drive and loading the OS so that iCal could then trigger an email, and then go back to sleep.
    2) If not, is there a way to forward my iCal events to Google Calendar? I can download Google Calendar to iCal, but I can't seem to push stuff to Google Calendar.
    If you add your Google Calendar to iCal you should be able to put all your events into that calendar. That calendar is CalDAV so it will be updated on the Google server and then also update any other systems that are reading that calendar (Linux and otherwise)
    If you are unable to make changes to your Google calendar in iCal I would suggest you remove it and re-add it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Calendar Events design on 'Day' view

    Hi,
    I noticed a change in my iPhone calendar.
    I remember that the colors and design of events under the "Day" view were different in lower versions of iPhone (I'm using 4.1). The colors used to be more vivid and the design of an event was 3D like. Also the font of the event it self was White.
    Now, in 4.1 the colors in calendars are not vivid and the design is flat.
    Have any of you guys noticed it?
    Thanks,
    Lior.

    I have pretty much the same issue except the bolded part.
    {quote:title=EagleOwl wrote:}However, when I scroll backwards in the day view from the 2nd November, the event in the 1st November is now visible *and the event on the 31st October, which was visible while scrolling forward, is lost.*{quote}
    And yeah, there are other dates where the events will behave like the ones on November 1st.
    For example: February 1st and March 1st 2010... August 1st 2011... October 1st 2012, and so on...
    I noticed that they all have something in common: they don't have any "grey" dates at the beginning of the month (in "Month" view)...
