ICal Invites show Standard Time instead of Daylight Time

When sending event invites from iCal 4 with Exchange 2007 the event is created correctly but the email message is off by an hour and says Eastern Standard Time instead of Eastern Daylight Time.

I have the same problem.
I just imported my Palm Date Book calendar into iCal. The appointments in October show the correct time. Those in November are off by one hour. Here in Toronto, we go off Daylight time at the end of October.
My question is, if I correct the appointments now, is iCal going to "correct" them again when the time change actually happens?
I see there are lots of unanswered questions on Time Zone problems with iCal. Seems to be an issue with deep roots in the program.

ICal invites received by email instead of iCloud

My iPhone is sync'd with Microsoft Exchange using ActiveSync (let's say my email is [email protected]). I signed up for iCloud using this same email. When somebody else who is an iCloud user sends me a calendar invite, [email protected] gets an email from iCloud with an .ics attachment instead of it showing up in the calendar inbox in iCal. In my phone settings, iCloud is turned on, but only for Calendar and Find My iPhone. The same people send me text messages and they go through as blue iMessages instead of plain old green text messages, so their phones obviously recognize that I am an iCloud user.
Any ideas why this is happening and how I might fix it?

Received out-of-timezone iCal invites don't appear in correct local time

I am using iCal on my mac and via iCloud to my iPhone and iPad. I live in France, and work with people in San Francisco (-9 hrs). When I receive .ics files from my colleagues, the invitation "time zone" says "floating" and the time is set, say for 11AM San Francisco. I have "time support" switched on all my devices and set for "Paris". Yet the received invitation shows the meeting starts at 11AM Paris Time. If I change the Time Zone to "Pacific", it throws the timing back 9 hours (e.g. 2AM).
I cannot change the invitation in any way.
Shouldn't it show me the time this 11AM San Francisco meeting will start in France (e.g. 20:00 or 8PM)? Is it because of my settings, or what I receive from others (I assume from Outlook/Entrourage on mac)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Its not easy to follow your code without the [ code] +[ /code] tags and your link may as well not be there, the code one. I would resolve this by reducing the overhead ie: stripping down the code as much as I could and then adding them back one by one. DIVIDE and CONQUER!!!
1. Take out the audio data (I suspect this may be the key problem)
2. Take out the Thread 'main' and have an actionListener attached to your answer field to handle the changes
3. Take out java.net and your URLs
4. use a MediaTracker and WaitForAll()
5. Strip it down further - AS MUCH AS YOU CAN (you can easily reassemble it quickly again) and then look at the program flow
6. Add more boolean logic to give you control over all your elements ie
if(myAnswer==answer) smiley=true;
else smiley = false;
// or whatever, as I said I could only scan through your code as it is difficult to read in its present format.
Finally: this is good work I like the smileys and the instant %'s, the general layout, good /intelligent use of random() to generate different Q's each time. It's a good application, just remember that applets can be unreliable and I think your basic problem is that you have too much data here.
Strip it right down, focus on your logical flow and then put back the elements one-by-one

When on mobile data, my phone incorrectly thinks it's on eastern time instead of mountain time.

Hi all,
I have an HTC One running 4.4.2 and noticed while driving around today that my phone was two hours ahead of the actual time. When I checked my settings, the phone was set to Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone. When I looked at the Select time zone field, it said Eastern time zone. However, I'm in the Mountain time zone. The time remained off by 2 hours for the entirety of my hour-long drive home. However, as soon as I got home and the phone connected to my wi-fi network, the time and time zone, went back to the correct time and zone. Any ideas what causes the problem?
John

MackDog,
Help has arrived! Thanks for providing those very helpful details to help us determine the root cause of this concern.
The time zone located on the device is dependant on the GPS and data connection. It is possible it may have been a software glitch or it may have been misread by the GPS. The great news is, that is has since returned back to the correct time. Please continue to keep an eye out and let us know if this issue persists or was just a one time thing. If it happens again, try rebooting the phone immediately and see if it helps resolve the concern.

ICal invites show up on phone, not on computer

Even when I click "refresh" in the iCal menu, most invitations that have been sent to me do not show up. I know that I am getting them, as they all show up on my phone. Only about 1 in 8 show up in iCal, even after hitting refresh.

Wanted to post an update for anyone else with this issue. I was advised by someone else to call AT&T customer support and have them resend activation/provisioning to the phone. He said he had the issue and this worked for him. So I called and when I finally got someone I was told that there was nothing they could "resend" to the phone but she got in touch with an Apple iphone support person and after explaining the issue to her she connected me to the Apple rep. I explained everything again to her and she said there were two options - the "restore as new phone" which she did not recommend because of the hassle and length of time involved, or have the activation resent to the phone by AT&T. I told her that I had been told there was nothing to be resent. She told me that was incorrect and then she got back in touch with AT&T support then got back to me and said I would see a text message to power off the phone. When I saw that I was to power off and wait 5 minutes and then power the phone back on. At the time I was actually using the phone that had the issue so she called me back on my phone and after 5 minutes I powered the other phone back up and the number now shows up everywhere it's supposed to. Simple, no muss, no fuss and no restore!!
I thanked her profusely and we both wondered why the first AT&T service person I spoke to did not know that this could be done or did not want to. But she told me the AT&T guys are a little scared of the Apple guys and that they can get things done that we might not be able to. Anyway it is a simple process if you can get them to do it the first time, maybe it's best to go through the Apple people first. The Apple service rep was wonderful and I'm happy!

Exchange 2010 invites in ical show with floating timezone and incorrect time

When I receive exchange 2010 invites sent via email as an ics attachment and open them to add them into ical the time zone shows as floating and the event time is incorrect as it doesn't take the time zone into consideration. How can I change the time zone/ time for these events?

Well seems that its sad that no-one from Apple or otherwise knows why Apple Mail and iCal are such junk - but I'll answer for those who might want to know what solves these things.
In a nutshell - I removed my accounts from iCal and Mail - added things thru iCal and had it create the account in Mail automatically (Exchange 2010 has all my mail up online anyways) - and sure enough this fixed things.
Guess doing the Mail separately from iCal doesn't work right. Go figure.

How to delete previous invitee from apple iCal invite list? When inviting "Joe" an old Email address shows up. This person is literally dead! (may he rest peacefull) and I can't find his Email address to delete anywhere. Not in my address book

When sending calendar invite to "invitee" an old address appears. This guy is literally dead (may he rest in peace) and has same first name as person I send to all the time. So "dead" guy always pops up. Can't find his address to delete anywhere -- not in previous recipients, not in my address book, does not "auto-populate" when I try to send an Email. Still shows up everytime I want to send iCal invite. Spooky. Help me delete this guy from my iCal invitee options so he can truly rest in peace. Thanks!

Ical not showing time zones

Why do iCal invitations not the show time zone of invite? And why does it get the time zone wrong in the calendar of the invited person if that person is on a different time zone?
Anything I can do about that?

You need to be posting this in the Calendar forum since you are asking questions about iCal/Calendar.

Time zone ignored in iCal invites

Recently, maybe since the timezone update, iCal has not been processing the time zone of meeting invites that I receive from Exchange users in my company. It is ignoring the time zone, for example an East coast user sends me an invite for 7pm EST, but I receive the invite as 7pm PST.
I just noticed this problem today but it could have been since the time zone update. I'm a long time user of iCal / Mail, normally I don't have this time zone issue.

Issues like this have been tossed around for a relatively long time, and those beset by them often are prone to point fingers at just about anyone. Much of the evidence offered is incomplete, or even contradictory. I've tried to follow this issue and others like it for some time, and—though, like most others I have encountered, I remain somewhat dazed and confused—I have come to these basic conclusions:
• the issue relates somehow to TZID, the global—but, not globally defined and therefore standardized—time zone identifier
• the heart of the issue appears to reside with some of the many releases of Microsoft's Exchange Server software
It's relatively easy to point the finger at Microsoft, as the notifications which display this behavior seem to originate from domains which run an Exchange Server of one variety or another. But, it's not that simple. Some report that invitations issued inside work, but those same invitations sent outside do not. Some report that patching the Exchange Server corrects the issue, but it's unclear if a specific post-SP2 patch exists to address the issue. Some report that Outlook Web Access users are affected, but not Outlook users. This may simply be because OWA and Outlook users 'get' their time-stamps from different locations, which do not use the same time zone definitions.
I think that you're on the right track examining the source data, but I think that it's the data itself that is the problem—specifically the TZID value, or a combination of that value and other information in the file—that raises the issue.
I don't see much evidence that the problem lies with the current release of iCal, or is caused by the DST patches present in Mac OS X 10.4.6 through 10.4.9, the various security updates or the DST update released by Apple.
The future release of iCal under Mac OS X 10.5 will be CalDAV compliant, and the CalDAV participants are working diligently to prevent just such problems, by standardizing such values as TZID. Microsoft is late to that party, although is now participating as I understand it, suggesting once again that the root of this problem is likely one or more Microsoft products, including Exchange Server.
One challenge with correcting the problem is defining it, and another clearly is working through the many varied iterations of Entourage, Outlook, OWA, the Exchange Server product line, and being sure that applied changes to create problems for others, like an organization's Blackberry and Windows Mobile users.
It would seem incumbent upon an organization's information technology staff to isolate, identify and correct the issue, and not upon users. That might be a challenge to achieve, however, if the majority of users in an organization do not seem to be affected by the problem, no matter how prevalent the problem might be, and how incorrectly an Exchange Server might be operating, if indeed it is.
Further complicating this is the unfortunate change to DST rules which recently occurred, and the requirement to apply changes to Windows XP and earlier along Mac OS X and OS 9 computers, Palm devices, Windows Mobile devices, mobile handsets and the server components which support them. While that issue isn't at all a likely component of this problem, they unluckily have appeared in some organizations almost simultaneously, making a possible link somehow a foregone conclusion, thus only adding to the confusion.
Where the offset is just one hour, as contrasted with the twelve hours reported by one poster, the immediate and logical conclusion is to assume that it's a DST issue. It likely is not.

ICal and daylight time

On iMac, OS 10.6.8, my iCal items show incorrect times after daylight savings time started.
Events that repeat every week have their times changed to an hour earlier, while one-time events or events that repeat monthly are OK.
Is this a bug or is there a way to prevent this in future. It happened in the Spring too.

Ical invitations not showing up in ical

ical invitations are not shwoing up in ical on mac or on ipad.

I don't seem to be getting iCal push notifications on my iOS devices and my Macs. I have current versions of Lion (10.7.3) and iCal (5.0.2) and am using iCloud (@me.com) and the people that are sending me invites are using a variety of email accounts for their own iCloud accounts. The point is that the invitations show up in the Calendar (outlined and background color of grey with the option to Accept or Decline) but they aren't pupulating in my "inbox" next to the "Calendar" button in the upper righthand corner. Nor are they indicated on my iOS devices. Both updated with the latest version of iOS 5.X.X. Anyone help?!

I have a very similar issue.
Problem:
I cannot receive iCal invitations on my iPhone 4GS from other icloud users. I just receive an email with an .ics file, but not a nice red icon on my calendar in iOS.
I also cannot send an invitation to any other icloud user. (eg my wife)
My setup:
iPhone 4GS with iCloud [email protected] address. iOS 5 - works perfect (Wife's iphone)
iPhone 4GS with iCloud [email protected] address. iOS 5 - NO Calendar inviations possible. (My iphone)
Ruled out:
Hardware issue (tested) Its just my account that is not working.
Possible issue:
AppleID error - My Apple ID seems to be corrupt. (whatever that means)
I believe strongly that this an issue at Apple. something with their mobileMe/iCloud sync.
Status:
Since 2 weeks in contact with Apple Support, no solution yet.
They just let me do some tests that i already conducted before.
