ICal time zone correct in month view, but wrong for individual events

I have my timezone set correctly to Pacific everywhere I know of (iCal upper right corner, iCloud account, computer, iPhone).
When I create an event (e.g. typing "6:30pm Work out" into a new event block), it shows up correctly (e.g. places itself at 6:30pm in monthly/weekly view).
However, when I click the event, in the details box it has the wrong timezone set (e.g. says that it's at 1:30am GMT).
This doesn't impact how things look in my calendar view, or how they sync to my iPhone and my Google calendars, all of that is fine.
What it DOES impact is that if I need to change the time, I have to go in and switch a bunch of things in invariably clumsy ways (e.g. change it to 7:30pm... oops, now it's tomorrow, switch its timezone to Pacific... shoot, now it's 9:30am, change back to 7:30pm...)
It's just annoying, and shouldn't be happening. Anyone know what is going on, and how to fix it? I've deleted the calendar cache, but it didn't help.

ICal events that are visible in Week/Month views but not day view!

I manage our iCal services for 10 users via iCal server. Everyone has their own calendar and then delegates read/write access as appropriate. In what seems to be a very random and not very reproducible problem we have a few events that are visible from week view and month view, but the event doesn't show up in day view. This is a huge problem when scheduling if we don't see other events in day view and it's a real pain to have to switch views to double check.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know the specifics that cause it, so I can prevent it?
Any fix for said issue?
Thanks!

If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
How are you"merging" the photos?
most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
select one and show event to see the event

Help: event times not printing in month view

... and yes, I have checked "show time in month view" in preferences, and the event times display on the screen. But on the monthly printout, the times do not appear, only ellipses where the time should be. There should be plenty of space for the information to print, there is white space both at the end of the event line and in the day box. But no times show up at all.
System data: Mac Mini, OS X 10.4.2, iCal 2.0.3 (1055), Brother MFC 7820N printer.
This is really awful... I just switched my wife over to the Mac Mini, and calendaring is a big part of what she needs. And she uses month views a lot. If I can't fix this, she'll probably throw the Mac Mini back in my face and I'll be sleeping on the couch. Yes, she cares that much about times printing in month views.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I don't know whether this a "solution" or a work-around, but I did find a way to resolve this problem. I recently started using iCal by transferring appointments from a BlackBerry using the BlackBerry PocketMac software. Although all of the appointment times appeared on the monthly calendar, most of the appointment times were replaced by ellipses when the monthly calendar was printed. It turns out that the times would print only after re-entering the appointment manually. This had to be done completely from scratch, i.e., not by editing the original appointment, or by cutting and pasting the appointment back into the calendar. This is a complete pain, but seems to work. I'd love to hear a better solution...

ICal time zone support

Forgive me if this is repetitive. I do not regularly read these discussion groups. I've just noticed a little problem with iCal. We recently moved to another state and another time zone, specifically, from the Central to the Eastern time zone. Time Zone Support has always been clicked "on" in our iCal. Our iMac clock and time zone are set properly, to the Eastern time zone. I just noticed today that the iCal time zone on all my "events" is selected as "Central U.S." But they show up at all the correct times (i.e., Eastern U.S.) on iCal. Is this what Time Zone Support is supposed to do? Convert all the events to the time zone in which you are located? To add to my confusion, I just got an iPhone 3G, it's set to Eastern Time, and all the events synced from my at-home iCal show up one hour earlier than they should on the iPhone iCal. Any suggestions? Thank you!

suz..
I just did the following and it seemed to correct the issue:
- made sure my .me and iCal apps were set to the same timezone
- turned off timezone support, closed iCal, turned timezone support back on
- made sure i was not using 'floating timezone'
that seemed to clear things up.

Ical time zone is wrong

i am syncing with google calendar on 1 MAC desktop, 1 ipad, 1 macbook pro, 2 iphones, 3 PC computers running windows. everything was working fine but recently ical on the mac desktop is wrong. the events time zone is shown as "central africa time" where all the other are in "egypt cairo" time zone. when i click on any event and edit its time zone to cairo, few seconds to reload and then goes back again on ical to "central africa time". where is the problem here. i cannot change ical time zone from "central africa time" to "cairo egypt". there is no feature for that. i turned on the time zone in ical and on the top right the time zone is "cairo egypt" but all the events are on "central africa time". it is correct on google but on ical is not, and i do not know why.

Hi,
See my posts here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15103765#15103765
I suggest you use Tripoli (EET) as your location as I do not believe OSX's DST definition is up to date with this change in Egypt's timezone.

Why don't times show in Calendar month view?

I have 2 MBPs and 2 iPhones (Mavericks 10.9.1; all with current updates). With MBP # 2, Month view of Calendar doesn't show times of events. If I click on any event, the info box shows the correct times. The other 3 devices show times correctly. Restarting the MBP doesn't change anything. All 4 devices are synced with the same iCloud account. How can I get the times to show in Month view? In System Preferences>iCloud, Calendar is checked.

Hi,
When you adjust the window size in Calendar if you can make it small enoughy you can hide the event times in Month view. It is not that is it? Have you tried making the Calendar window full screen?

Events appear in Monthly view, but not Weekly or Daily

For some reason, during the week of Dec 2 through Dec 8, all my events appear just fine in the monthly view, but when I switch to weekly, none of them are there, and when I double click on a day that I know there should be an event, the event appears in the daily view. The event however will not appear if I go to the daily view using the button at the bottom. To make it even a little stranger, when I switch from the daily back to the weekly view, the event is still there, only it now spans across three days.
Has anyone heard of this or is there a bug fix out there for this problem?
Thanks

Ramone4130,
The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

ICal time zone reverting back

I have just arrived in a new country, but when I look for that place's time zone and select it, the next time I open the iCal time zone, it has reverted back to a previous one.
Even more strangely, when I change my time zone in the top right corner of iCal to Greenwich Mean Time, all my entires move suddenly to irrelevant times that are not in line with the chosen time zone...
How do I categorically select and save the time zone once and for al, so I don't have to worry about this strange behavior (which is probably caused by me doing something wrong)?
I would appreciate any help ...

Ical time shows when looking at it but printed three dots show up

Just wondering if anybody could help me out. When I look at the calendar everything looks correct but when I print the time is not showing and three dots show up in front instead of the time any ideas.

This happens if the timezone for an event is "Floating". It doesn't matter if Timezone support (in iCal preferences) is enabled or not.
These are just my observations:
If TZ Support is OFF, and you manually create an event -- times will print. If you then enable TZ support, those events will become "floating".
If TZ support is ON, and you enter an event, TZ for that event will be filled in automatically, and time printing will work. If you change the event to a "floating" time, the time will not print.
For me, floating would be preferable. I tend to think about times in whatever timezone I'm in.

To make a screen full screen, you click on the arrows in the upper right corner. To minimize, move your cursor all the way to the upper right corner of your desktop--give it a second--a symbol will appear that lets you "reverse" the action and minimize the window. Hope I'm explaining this correctly.

ICal time zone problems in Leopard

I cannot get ICal to display events in my current computer time zone (Chicago). Does not matter if time zone support is on or off, it always displays events two hrs behind me (Pacific time). If I change my computer time zone, ICal adjusts accordingly. Any suggestions?

Have the same with a German timezone. Both computers are in German time, published calendar is in US time. Looks like the calendar that you access online is using the US server time as reference.

Month view doesn't show all events

Dear friends
Something strange started to happen with my iCal.
When I choose month view no events are shown at all.
They are all there because tehy´re shown both in week and day views.
Any clue?
L . gustavo

I have something very similar going on around on two machines used by colleagues.
One is a PowerPC G5 desktop and the other is an Intel MBP.
Weirdly enough, the events don't show only in october (month view), which is the current one.
We have found that by clicking one of the forward / back buttons you can see the next and previous months correctly, AND if you get back to october everything shows up again.
So there seems to be something wrong with the UI or sorta thing.
Both machines are up-to-date (10.4.10). Mac OS is set to run in US English.
Anyone? Help?

Ical time not correct when viewing published version

I have struggled with this problem for a while now. When I view my published calandar, it is out by +8 hours. 9AM appointments show as 5PM appointment on the same day.
I have done the following:
1. Made sure I am GMT on my system preferences
2. Checked that time zone support is swithced on in iCal
3. Made sure Dot Mac has me registered as GMT
On the web version of my calander is actually says the time zone is Europe/London, which is the correct one for me. I'm really at a loss.
Can someone/anyone help with this?

I'm having exactly the same problem.
iCal & my Blackberry are OK, but when I publish it goes wrong - even though I have the timezones set for London. I've tried unpublishing and repuplishing, but to no avail.
This is a major problem for me - any ideas on whot to do?

Get time to show in month view of iCal

How do I get the time to show in the month view of iCal?

So sorry to not have a solution but I wanted to chime in and say "me, too!". Not only create an event, but I can't edit it in month view, either. I thought it was my entire iCal program, since I just upgraded to Lion today, but after reading your post I realize I can edit events in week mode, just not month mode.
