Ical time zone issue - will not change to Floating or let me adjust

I have Calendar 6.0 on OS X 10.8.5 and cannot get the calendar time to adjust from Mountain time. I'm in Arizona where we do NOT change time - one half the year we're the same as California, the other half we're like Colorado. But Calendar has decided I'm Mountain time and no attempt to adjust that has any effect. I have clients in Washington State and Oregon, and clients in Arizona. But I can't have calendar invites or meetings set in anything but Mountain time. It's making me nuts. I can't select Floating either, per one suggestion. Please help!
I went to iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone and tried all they suggested, but nothing works as it says it should. I cannot "set any time zone you want" with time zone support On. The "pop-up option" they mention when Time zone Support is On still does not allow me to select another time zone. Oh - and my iphone 5s shows the time zone as Phoenix, just fyi, with Set Automatically turned on.

Did you turn on time zone support in the Calendar app on your Mac too?  Try going to Calendar>Preferences and on the Advanced tab check Turn on Time Zone Support.

  • SignalExpress 2010 - Chart time axis format will not change to floating point or anything else

    I just downloaded and installed the new and shiny SignalExpress 2010 to replace the old version. And immediately run into major problems:
    The x-axis time format refuses to change to floating point or scientific even if I choose them from chart properties. The format is always absolute, e.g. 12:23:54.743. This makes the usage of the chart and the whole application impossible! Is this a known issue and is it going to be fixed soon? And where can I get the old version of the SignalExpress (2009) so I can install it again?

  • Publishing iCal - time zone issue & sending invites - Entourage?

    Hi there,
    Am currently looking into using iCal as our internal calendar system, and just have a couple of quick questions:
    1. I've been mucking around with publishing a test calendar on .Mac, and there seems to be a problem with the time zones. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and my System Prefs on my local machine are set to this time zone, and on my .Mac account I've set them to Sydney, Australia as well. However, when I publish the calendar, an event that's in my calendar on my local machine at 10.30am ends up published as occurring at 6.30pm? Is there a preference setting I've missed somewhere?
    2. Is there any way to use Entourage for sending invitations to iCal events? Even though I've set the Default E-mail Reader in Apple Mail as Entourage, whenever I try to invite a user to an iCal event, Apple Mail is launched. Why isn't it recognising my preference settings?
    Thanks,
    Claire.

    I am not sure about No 2, but someone clever here might help.
    So far as the first one goes, have a look at the orginal event (in iCal) and see whether it 'thinks' it's in Sydney. (I am guessing that you might have imported the data from elsewhere, so if it doesn't show properly you could try: a. making a positive change to the correct timezone, or b. deleting it and recreating the correct event from scratch in iCal. Then republish and check the web version. If this is getting somewhere, I can explain what I think is happening.)

  • ICal time zone issue??

    I received a meeting invitation from exchange, my Mail on my mac correctly puled it into iCal and adjusted the time by 2 hrs (since this was sent from CA and I am in Houston at the moment, and have adjusted the time zone on my mac). So far so good. But when I synced m iPhone (that has been on the whole time I am in Houston) the time for this event showed up as Pacific time not Central time. The previous sync I did was in San Jose (where I live) but I don't see how that would matter.
    Had i been back in San Jose and done a sync, then gone to Houston I think the iPhone does update Calendar event times for the local time, so what is going on here??

    On your iPhone, drill down Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars and drop down to Calendars. My Time Zone was ON and set to an offset of GMT, I turned it OFF and my appointments are at the correct time on my iPhone.

  • ICal Time zone issues - Arizona

    I am having trouble with the timing of events between iCal and iCloud, which I think is due to Arizona's non-timechanging policy.
    I have events on my Mac's iCal, which I sync to iCloud. But, the times in iCloud (and hence, on my iPhone) are shifted by one hour. So, a flight recorded for 9am on my mac, appears to be at 8am in iCloud.
    I have turned off time zone support on all my devices, but the problem remains.
    Any ideas?

    I don't know if this helps anyone, but I went ahead and turned time zone support OFF. I still get the meeting invitations which are off by 7 hours, but when I accept the invitation, it shows the correct time for Arizona but still has Africa in parentheses after it. It is only a workaround, but at least I know what the correct time of the meeting should be. Does Apple know that this latest release of iCal is seriously flawed, and are they going to do anything to fix this problem?
    It is frustrating because iCal used to work flawlessly with Outlook up until recently, and nothing has changed on my end.

  • I have an intel 2006/7 MAC. I can't figure out how to change the time zone. There are no cities to choose from in Mountain time. and when I choose other times..the time zone still does not change. Please help

    My time zone is not adjusting.....I don't see how to change it, in the first place..I'm given a list with no Mountain time inclusive cities.

    As for iPhoto, it sounds like you were trying to move files around in the library. That is a bib no-no in Aperture or iPhoto.

  • In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change

    For a certian Application I am using I need to change the format of the Time and Date. I had no problems in Mountain Lion. In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change. I need the date format to read as 01/01/14 and time format to read 13:00. As I said this was easily done in Mountain Lion and all previous Apple OS. I suspect it's an issue with in the OS.

    You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

  • After 7.1.1 update my iphone5c time will not change if my phone is locked.

    I recently updated my iphone5c to 7.1.1. I then realized that my time will not change if my phone is locked. For example, if my phone clock says 2:00, the time will continue if I am using my phone. Say I use my phone until it is 2:30 and then lock my phone. It will still be at 2:30 when I use my phone again.I have turned it off and back on. I have restored it. I have turned it off of the "automatic" time zone and manually set my time. Nothing works. I don't know what else to do. Please help

    In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
    In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
    Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
    I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
    Thank you

    My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

  • I can no longer send iCal invitations.  I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts.  No idea what to do.

    I can no longer send iCal invitations.  I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts.  No idea what to do.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
    Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
    Troubleshooting:
    Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
    Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
    If that doesn't take care of it:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • 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 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.

  • Statistic report with figures that will not change when rerun months later

    Hi,
    Is there any good practices that we can follow to create statistic reports with figures that will not change even when rerun after few months later?
    My scenario is my statistic report is generated based on data that is "alive" which means the record will get change after a period of time. So, if you generate the statistic report in for January 2006 in the month of January and regenerate in May for the January 2006 statistic, the figure is different. But what I want is to be able to get the same figures.
    I know in this case looks like we need some sort of summary tables, so posting this to get advice on the best way to design such summary tables. Please comment if there is other ways of doing it.
    Summary tables may work for statistic report, but how to support detail report listing where the records are required to be the same when it was generated few months ago.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    What happens, when you execute a report today is the following: a select statement is fired at the data base and the result set is displayed in the report. The data can change after the moment you launched your report. What you could do to keep the result set the same, is implementing a user parameter that fills your date discriminator.

  • My Ipod touch will not change songs or shuffle

    My I pod touch will not change or shuffle songs.  Everything else seems to be working correctly.  Any suggestions? 

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?
