ICal events stuck on GMT time zone on 10.7.5

I have mac OS X 10.7.5. When I download an invite from Evite, or TripIt. The items comes to my iPhone in the correct timezone, but not on my iMac. My iMac defaults to GMT. i have updated the preferecens, added time zone support, and it still loads in GMT. How do I fix this?  iCal is version 5.0.3.  I think the issue only comes when I download invitations from others.

First since your iMac is running OS 10.7.5, you have an Intel-based iMac, and yu posted this thread in a forum for PowerPC (pre-Intel-Based) iMacs.  So you might not get many responses.
I have one suggestion, and I'm not sure it will help, but try this and see if it helps.
Open your System Preferences.  Clcik on Date and Time, make sure you have the correct time zone setting, the click the open lock in the bottom leftof the window, to lock the settings from being changed.  To open the lock later, you'll need totype in your system password.
I doubt this the actual correct fix for your problem, but it might help in the mean time.
Good luck.

  • Ical events not displaying correct time zone

    Hi All,
    I have a weird issue and I'm not sure if it's an iCal or an entourage problem. When one of our Entourage2008 (exchange) users sends a meeting invite to a user in a different time zone using ical, the meeting shows in ical as the time the entourage user who created it, aka not adjusting for the time zone. Entourage to outlook calendar or another entourage calendar works fine, and iCal to iCal works fine; just not Entourage to iCal. Also, a calendar event from the iCal user to the Entourage user does adjust correctly for the time zone difference, which is why i'm exactly sure where the problem lies. I did post in the mactopia forums too so please don't yell at me for posting an 'entourage' problem in a mac forum. any help anyone could provide would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    i'm on 10.5.7 with the latest updates for mac os x and the latest office for mac updates, and we are running off a hosted exchange server. we've experienced the same issue whether we have iCalis ("turn on time support") option enabled in iCal or not enabled.

    It's annoying as it should not be this complicated. I've implemented a work around, but it's not ideal. I have entourage running but not open, and have sync services set to sync with ical. A new invite comes into mac mail, the user clicks on the ics file (which opens entourage calendar), accepts the meeting, and closes the entourage window. The correct time is in entourage calendar, and then syncs with ical and the meeting has the correct time for that time zone.
    If anyone has found a real fix for this problem, please let me know.
    Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one Jim.

  • Always return GMT Time Zone in Bundle Image Deployment

    I have application that need to get window PC time zone, when use Bundle Image Deployment (include runtime jre), it always return GMT time zone no matter which time zone I set on my PC. After I replace runtime/jre in the image folder with complete jre, then it returns time zone correctly. Is it a bug in bundle deployment?
    javafx.runtime.version: 2.2.7-b01
    jdk1.7.0_17
    window 8 64bit
    Thanks.

    I am experiencing similar type of issue.  I subscribed to a Calendar which has scheduled meeting from my time zone and different time zone.  When I subscribe in OS X, it shows flawlessly on local time. But when I do it in IOS 7,  it shows MST as-is in EST time zone and no matter we play around all the time zone setting in General tab or Mail/Calendar tab.  It's not helping.
    Appears to be a bug in IOS 7.  It needs to be reported to Apple.

  • GMT time zone keeps coming up

    When entering an appointment in the calendar, it automatically comes up as GMT Time Zone.  I have tried various options; gone to the Apple Store, and checked online.  Response is that it's a bug with iOS8 and a fix is coming.  Is that the case?  I believe I only started having this problem after going to the iOS8 software.

    This is a well known problem, one post has over 35 pages.  Basically it looks like an iOS problem with certain external calendar systems (Google Calendar being the most common).  Hopefully Apple will fix it some day.

  • Why are my apple calendars using GMT time zone?

    My iPhone and iPad are using the GMT time zone. Why???

    I'd like to bump this and add to it....We have a 30Mbps broadband connection with Aiport Express providing the wireless. When Apple TV is streaming Netflix, all other devices are virtually useless. I test each device on speedtest.net and they are all now 1-2Mbps and less, often stalling out. HOWEVER, if I stream Netflix on my wirelessly connected Mac Mini, all other devices consistently test at 22Mbps+. What is going on? I'm tempted to toss my Apple TV. Any time someone uses the Apple TV, the internet slows to a crawl, AirPlay stutters and stops, etc. Shut off Apple TV and we can simultaneously stream Netflix, etc. on 5 devices and the internet runs smooth. It makes no sense why Apple TV is doing this but I have tested it and 100% of the time, Apple TV is the culprit.

  • How do i create a new event in a different time zone in iCal ios7?

    Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
    Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
    Default calendar for new events
    Default time for alerts
    Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

  • View events in a different time zone?!?

    I see there are older and closed discussions on this questions, long before before Lion and iCloud came into being.
    I live in Greece which is European Central Time and this is the time zone my iCal is normally set to, with time zone support turned on.
    I was in the US Eastern Seaboard for 4 weeks this past Summer and all my appointments entered while there were entered in EST - or DST, whatever.
    According to the iCal Help Menu
         "If you create any new events while the main calendar view is shifted to another time zone, the new events take the time zone of the current view. When you switch back to your original time zone, the events created in the shifted time zone retain the shifted time zone setting."
    Well, they don't: they appear in whatever time zone the calendar is set to - the correct zone can only be seen if you double click on the event.
    Has anyone found a way around this?
    And how is one supposed to handle the departure and arrival times for flightsthat croos over time zones?
    Sometimes Apple doesn't figure on people encountering these problems: as someone said in an earlier post: do they think they whold wolrd lives on Cupertino time?

  • How to create an event in two different time zones?

    Hello,
    I am traveling a lot and I would like to be able to enter the flight details in iCal - whether on my iPhone, iCloud, i... whatever. The problem is that I cannot manage to enter these details without calculating the time difference. Example:
    I am flying on Saturday from Frankfurt to Japan. My flight takes off at 19:00h local German time and arrives in Tokyo at 13:00h local time (in Japan)
    I can either specify the time zone for Germany or for Tokyo, but is there a way to enter the event from 19:00h German time to 13:00h Tokyo time?
    Thank you very much for your time.
    Larry

    Hi Alex,
    this applies only when the event takes place in one time zone, but in my case I start the event on one time zone and ends in a different time zone. As it is known, the airlines show always the local times on the ticket. Which means that I start my travel at 19:00h German time (UTC +2) and end it at 13:00h Tokyo time (UTC +9). When I create the event I can choose From Date/Time... To Date/Time and below I have Time zone. Ideally I should have two time zones, one for the start and another for the end.
    Since this situation only applies to travelling (I can't think of another case right now), I believe that Apple didn't take this into consideration.
    Any other thoughts/ideas? Other than manually calculating the difference, of course.

  • Iphone 5C setting appointments in GMT time zone, not my time zone

    Why is my iPhone 5C now recording my calendar appointments in GMT time, not my time zone. I started happening a few weeks ago. I just updated the iOS to version 8.1.2 and it is still happening. Any suggestions?

    See this thread, ongoing for several months: iOS 8 Calendar on iPhone showing GMT times for new events.

  • Calendar app stuck on another time zone.

    I left Nigeria for Kansas, U.S. that's 6 hours behind so I changed the time settings on my phone to KS time zone but the Calendar app on my 3GS doesn't seem to understand that. When I create an event for, say, 8 PM today (to be notified at that time), I get a notification at 2 PM today—6 hours before the intended time. It's like Calendar thinks I'm still in Nigeria. I've been all over Settings and I can't figure it out.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    There is more than one place to change time. If you set the time to local, you need to go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>scroll down to the bottom under calendar and set the time zone support there for the local time zone.

  • IPhone 4S Calendar Event Defaults to Incorrect Time Zone

    My iPhone, Win7 PC is set for Eastern Time. I use Outlook/Exchange and the Outlook calendar in Options is set for Eastern Time as well. I never had any issues until recently. My iPhone syncs with the Exchange server using ActiveSync.
    A few weeks ago I was out west and changed my Win 7 O/S time zone to Pacific Time. I did not change anything in Outlook or on my iPhone. The iPhone has always been set for “Set Automatically” (Settings/General/Date & Time). Also, in Mail, Contacts and Calendars my Time Zone is Set for Montreal (where I live) with Time Zone Support “On”. I have never changed this from the day I got the iPhone. Whenever I travel the time zone automatically switches. When I came back from the west coast my phone switch back to Eastern as it should and I manually set the Win 7 O/S to Eastern as well.
    Now for some reason, when I create a calendar event in Outlook (i.e. on the desktop) the event shows up correctly on the iPhone (example: a meeting for tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern shows up as tomorrow at 2:00PM on the iPhone). However, when I “edit” the calendar event on the iPhone, the time shows up as 11:00AM and the time zone is Los Angeles (3 hours apart from Montreal). You can just imagine how this is causing me havoc as I do business in different time zones and have to reschedule meetings often.
    I have tried to set the time zone to something else and then back to eastern or Montreal. It makes no difference. When I create a calendar event directly on the iPhone the default time zone is Montreal and it shows up correctly on both devices.
    Any ideas what’s going on?

    Hi Song&DanceMan, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Issues with calendar time zone can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Time Zone Support feature may be affecting these events. Please use the attached article for more information on Time Zone Support.

  • Countdown Timer Stuck In Wrong Time-zone

    Hopefully this is a simple one folks. Is there a way to change the time-zone of the countdown timer? It's in central time and I'm eastern - weird huh?

    I had the same issue, it annoyed me for quite a while, and I couldn't find a solution on the web.  I then looked at "Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Time Zone Support" and saw that it was stuck on the wrong time zone there (which coincided with the time zone my calendar was in).  I switched off Time Zone Support and switched it back on: that corrected it.  I then returned to my calendar app again, and it was in the correct time zone.  That solved it for me.

  • Airport Express Stuck in Japan Time Zone!

    I am in America, MN to be specific and for some reason my airport still thinks I am in Japan. I have gone through the settings but it gives me no options to change it to American Central Time zone. How can you change this?

    It sounds like power issue to me.. and the express is a sealed unit.. just take them back if still under warranty or replace. There are various posts about how to cut them open but the end result is fairly horrible looking.
