Incorrect daylight saving change for Brazil, 2008

Leopard is still using outdated (2007) timezone rules for Brazil, where DST starts Oct 14 and ends on Feb 17. This is wrong for 2008.
On Sep 8 this year a new decree was passed regarding DST changes. It should start on every third sunday in October, and end on every third sunday in February, except when this coincides with Carnival Sunday; then it's postponed to the next Sunday[1].
It's a stupid complicated rule, but the tzinfo database has already been update to reflect this, and I expected OS X to do the same, considering it's BSD heritage, but alas, here I am with my clock showing one hour past what it should be.
# [t]he DST period in Brazil now on will be from the 3rd Oct Sunday to the
# 3rd Feb Sunday. There is an exception on the return date when this is
# the Carnival Sunday then the return date will be the next Sunday...
Rule Brazil 2008 max - Oct Sun>=15 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Brazil 2008 2011 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2012 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2013 2014 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2015 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2016 2022 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2023 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2024 2025 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2026 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2027 2033 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2034 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2035 2036 - Feb Sun>=15 0:00 0 -
Rule Brazil 2037 only - Feb Sun>=22 0:00 0 -
Manually updating zoneinfo fixes the time in terminal and unix programs, but it's still broken in Cocoa programs (like, the menu clock). Could we please have an Apple issued update to fix this?

How-to-tick-automatically-adjust-clock-for-daylight-saving-changes-for-domain-users

hi
please help me
I am using windows 2008 as a domain controller with windows XP & windows 7 as a client.
how-to-tick-automatically-adjust-clock-for-daylight-saving-changes-for-domain-users
Thanks in Advance
my mail: [email protected]

Some more information would be nice (how many computers are in the domain?), but I think I have what you're looking for.
What you need to do is change a registry key in the client computers. It's located in the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
The string name is DynamicDaylightTimeDisabled and the value for this item is
0 (Kind of weird - by entering 0, you're saying "No, I DON'T want to DISable daylight savings time).
Of course, you'll need to deploy this registry information to the clients from the server. There are several ways to do it, but the first one I'd try is to create a registry preference item on the server and deploy it as a GPP.
This link explains how to do this:

Daylight Saving Changes 2007

Hi, I am using new_time() function in my code which takes timezone abbreviations like (PST, CST) to convet time from one timezone to other. As a part of DST changes in March 2007, do we also need to change this function to use abbreviations other than this?
I tried doing this, but it returns an error.
Can anybody help out...

My alarm on the 4g phone has not adjusted to daylight saving change.....

my alarm on the 4g Iphone has not adjusted to the recent NA daylight saving change....

I actually just solved this issue on my ICloud Calendar on my PC It was an hour ahead since 3/10/13 due to daylight savings time. My Iphone was fine.
On the ICloud Calendar click on your name. The time zone shows up. In my case it said Central Standard Time so I thought it was okay. However if you click on the Time Zone a map comes up showing the time zone. It will indicate was city in the time zone you are using. Mine had a city in Guatemala. When I switched it to the closest city to me, it solved the problem.

Day Light Saving Changes for Europe

Hi,
We are using SQL Azure databases in North Europe location.
When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes and brings back the time less by an hour.
Is that something that we need to or can do on the server or database
Having issues in saved records even for auditing purposes.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Many thanks
Deepu

When trying to use GETDATE() function, it is not considering the day light saving changes
Hello Deepu,
All SQL Azure server in all Azure locations (America, Europe, Asia, etc) returns for GETDATE always the same value: The current UTC date time. No time zone offset, no daylight saving, always UTC only. You can simply check it with this query:
select GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()

DST (Daylight Saving Time) for WLSE

Does anyone know if there is going to be a patch for the DST change for the WLSE, or if there is just a way to change it command-line, what that would be.
Thanks,
Pat

The ONS 15302 supports time protocol (RFC 868) for automatic date and time adjustment. To utilize this feature a TP server must be available in the network.
Because the time protocol provides UTC (GMT) only, and does not take into account the Day Light Saving Time (summer time), an additional parameter (UTC Delta) allows the user to get the local time. This parameter must be adjusted twice a year to take into account the Day Light Saving Time

File modification times affected by Daylight saving changes?

After daylight time changes Dreamweaver warns me about files on the server modified since I put them last time.
So what is stored in my local computer and the server date's are off by one hour.
At first I thought some hacker modified the files exactly one hour after I did to make less obvious the modification time, but that's not the case.
It doesn't happen one hour after, nor a whole month. It always happened with old files, and now it makes sense it only happens after a daylight saving shift.
Is there any way to fix it?
Is there any time zone or similar setup I need to make?
My computer always has the correct time.
I already spoke with the host and they don't find any issue nor malicious code modifying the files. Only my IP has modified files.
Thanks.

Do you only work from one system?
I have at least three that I do edits and uploads from, and I see this all the time when I'm not on the machine I last uploaded from.

Daylight Saving Change - Now Alarm wont work

I think alot of people have had this problem. The alarm on my phone no longer works and if it does it goes off an hour early. Is this problem going to be fixed as i have only used an alarm on my cellphone for as long as i can remember and never had an issue with any other phones. If i had known that i wouldnt be able to use my alarm (very important feature) I would never have bought an iphone!! Please advise asap!

Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2007 for USA

Can anyone give me solution how to handle Daylight saving Time changes in 2007 in USA for JDK 1.3.x releases? We are using this due to some vendor dependency. We can�t upgrade to higher versions up to middle of the 2007. I would be thankful if somebody gets back to me.

I have a similar issue where we cannot upgrade the jdk 1.1 without involving a lot of effort. If we keep the same old jdk, can someone tell me if use of Date and Calendar api will be impacted by the Daylight saving change.....provided the timezone is default and not explicitly set to EST. Also there isnt any timezone related buss logic.

USA Residents: Early Daylight Saving Time *Changes*.

Apparently, a few folks are unaware of the changes & patch because for various reasons they do not check and/or use their Software Update Control Panel.

Exchange Active Sync UTC Daylight Saving Time

Color me a bit confused. I am attempting to write an IOS client application to communicate with Exchange ActiveSync and display calendar information. But I am seeing some conflicting information in the protocol docs when compared to what I am getting from
Exchange. Either that or I am somehow misinterpreting one or the other.
My intent is to save an appointment in my local database in Coordinated Universal Time and then have the UI read in the information and display it as appropriate to the local timezone. In this way an recurring appointment created before daylight saving time
for Noon will still be at the same time of day in local time as an appointment created during daylight saving time for noon. But they are not.
My understanding of the documentation is as such:
In MS-ASCAL pdf section 2.2.2.40 (roughly page 34) it says for Start Time that : ...the value of this element is a dateTime data type as specified in MS-ASDTYPE section 2.3.
Moving to MS-ASDTYPE section 2.3 (roughly page 7) the dateTime value is specified in the format of ISO-8601 and all dates are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Looking up coordinated universal time I see that UTC does not changed with the seasons as local or civil time does and therefore DOES NOT support daylight saving time. This makes sense, as DST is decidedly local and is ignored by many areas. You cannot know
from the perspective of UTC whether or not to apply a DST offset without knowing what timezone and area the time represents, therefore no daylight saving time can be supported. Based on this information I should be able to just slap the dates into my database
as they are and merely have the UI adjust itself to display them properly.
However, as a tested I began seeing a divergence of an hour between the two appointments in the database before the UI has even read them. To confirm this I created two recurring appointments representing Lunch at 12 noon local time. One that starts on March
1st 2014 (Standard Time) and one that starts on March 10th 2014 (daylight saving time) in the eastern timezone. This should be March X 2014 at 1700 hours in both cases should it not?
In the WBXML/XML that I am receiving I am getting two different times. The appointment that starts during standard time gives me a start time of 20140301T170000Z. The appointment that starts after daylight saving time is in effect locally gives me 20140301T160000Z.
The difference between the two times is 1 hour, which is the daylight saving time offset. It is my perception based on everything that I have read both in the microsoft protocol documentation and outside it that these two times should be the same and that whatever
client that gets to display them should be the one putting the offset in place as needed. Noon local time is noon local time but local time is the province of the local municipality/timezone, not that of UTC.
So my question is what exactly is going on here? Are the start/stop/date stamp date times in UTC or not. If they are in UTC, then why are they offset by an hour instead of being at the same time? Obviously outlook displays these correctly for local time,
because both appear at noon. But in my case my database contains locally adjusted times instead of the UTC times I thought I was getting which is throwing off when those appointments appear in the UI.
Can someone please clarify what's going on here and what I should be seeing?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, however after doing what is said the problem still remains. I did not try the manual approach, because of the time that would take with calendars that change at least daily.
I am running the latest update of ICal and IPod, you would think this would have been addressed with one of the updates to allow the sync to work correctly with 5th generation IPods.
I am going to try and turn off day light savings time set the clock to a Central Time zone and see if that works, I do not cross time zones much, anymore.

Treo 500 daylight saving

I got a Treo 500 from O2 about a month ago. When the UK changed back to GMT on 25th. Oct, the machine did not change (an old HP Jornada I have running on Windows CE did!). I tried to find help on this site but found only one entry. The reply to that entry was not helpful - it only suggested looking at the support available on the Palm website (that has zero information on daylight saving on Treo 500s).
I asked Microsoft about it but they passed me onto Palm.
Please can someone let me know:
1. Is daylight saving available for this machine?
2. If it is, how do I set it up? (or is there some software available I can download?)
3. If not, why not? - Windows Mobile 6 on other machines seems to have it (maybe Palm should answer that).
Many thanks.

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time?

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.

Daylight saving error in Calendar application

A notice for concerned users:
When an event is scheduled on iCal v. 3.0.1 (i.e. on a Leopard iMac) with a time zone of "UTC", it does not display with the proper event time when viewing the event on the iPhone Calendar application if the daylight saving setting of the day of the event is different from the current daylight saving setting for today.
Example: I am located in the Central time zone (i.e. Chicago). If I schedule an event for 10:00 p.m. UTC on March 10 (the day after daylight saving time begins), then review the event in Calender prior to March 9, the iPhone will display the event for 4:00 p.m. (which is it's time in CST) instead of correct time of 5:00 p.m. (which is it's time in CDT).
In other words, displayed times for future events are calculated using today's daylight saving setting instead of the daylight saving setting of the date of the event.

Given that the week is now over and your phone and PC should both have reverted to EST, not EDT, this problem should now have passed.
This problem should have been corrected with a firmware upgrade but the e61 hasn't had a firmware upgrade for over a year...
This year I just ignored it as the actual reminders were still happening at the right moment of the day! As it was synchronising via Mail for Exchange all was fine, as the PC was dominant.
The only other work around is to set the phone to another time zone that was correct for the week while this schemozzle lasted.
Hopeless, wasn't it? It is up to the Australian government to gazette calendars for Australia not Nokia! Nokia should have an appropriate mechanism in place to check for adjustments to time zone etc information.
