Inefficient Calendar and Clock

I received the software update for my BB Z10 a week or two ago. As I understand it, the updates take out glitches and, I thought, make things easier. The calendar is NOT EFFICIENT anymore! Before, I could do everything on the one calendar page, now it takes about three steps - and they aren't clear! - to enter all my info. The clock is so **bleep** annoying now because if I happen to tap the screen at the wrong place, that annoying little red thing moves and changes the time for my alarm!
BlackBerry developers, if you're going to update software, INNOVATE, INNOVATE, INNOVATE! Nothing about the BlackBerry is innovative anymore. Stop playing catch-up with other companies. I have been using BB for several years and have always loved it. My new Z10 is sleek looking, much more esthetically pleasing than the iPhone in my view. However, I'm SO CLOSE to replacing my BB with an iPhone because of these updates that keep changing all my ringtones, notification sounds, display, etc. every bloody time I accept an update.
I hope someone from BB answers this. I wanted to send an email but of course it's impossible to do that. Apple (of which I own several products) is ALWAYS available to answer your questions, by phone or by email. BB's website is not even user friendly. No wonder this company is going down the toilet.
Yes, I'm an irate customer, a very dissatisfied one. Once my contract ends with BB, I will never get a BB again. Of course, they may no longer exist...
Please answer me.

Calendar and Clock Time Incorrect?

Here's a weird thing that just started happening with my iPhone. Whenever I'm on Edge or Wi-Fi (as is most cases), my calendar thinks the date is yesterday, and my clock is slow. When I switch to 3G however, the date is right, and the clock is accurate. Switch back to edge? Wrong date, wrong time. I did a little quick fix by turning my phone to 3G, then had the clock/date put to manual, but I'd kinda like to know why it was having issues on edge/wi-fi?

I presume that settings > General > Date & Time has 'Set Automatically' toggled ON when this happens. If so, the problem is not with your phone, it's with the carrier (since that's where the setting is pulled from) - they would seem to be having issues with there EDGE network data that are not occurring on their 3G network. Give your carrier a call to report the problem.

Widget calendar and time

I recently moved to Seoul, from Portland, and I'm trying to get this figured out. I changed the time and date on my computer to Seoul time, but I'd like to keep my widget calendar and clock to Portland time for quick reference.
However, I changed the clock date and time, and when I put in "portland" for the clock, it stays at Seoul time. Does my computer think I'm still in Portland? I'm confused. How do I get it to work like I want it to?

Hi pdxmeghan,
I'm from Vancouver but am living near Guangzhou, China. I solved this problem by changing my computer time to Canton time and then placing 2 widget clocks on my desktop so that I have both Vancouver time and Canton time whenever I click widgets on the dashboard. You can have as many widget clocks running at the same time as you like, from what I can tell.
To change the time on them you simply click the small " i " button on the bottom right side at which point the clock turns over and you input the time and city. Hope this helps. Vee.

Calendar and timezones

i'm not sure if it's just me not quite using my phone properly, but i've had a couple of problems with the calendar feature on my 6280. the first time i noticed it was when i put one particular appointment into the calendar - i was in the uk at the time, but the appointment was in france. now, when i arrived in france the clock updated itself as normal to french time, but also moved the apointment forward in the calendar by one hour. i.e. it assumed that because i was using gmt when i made the appointment, that the appointment was gmt and duly compensated. i thought this was a bit strange.
however, next thing i know, just this week with the changing of the clocks to summer time, i found that once again, when the clocks change, all my appointmens were moved forward an hour. surely, when you put an appoinment into the calendar, you don't have to work out which time zone it is in or whether it's on summer or winter time or whatever. when you make an appointment you say, for example, 9 o'clock and you put in 9 o'clock into the calendar and that's it. you don't think, for example, 'ok the appointment is 9 o'clock in france, but that's 8am gmt. oh, but wait, the clocks change so i need to add and extra hour...' surely this is really badly thought out by whoever produced the sofware. i'm sure i can't be the only person in the world to have appointments in two different time zones...
can anyone help? or at least tell me that it's badly thought out and that i'm not missing the point somewhere.
thanks

I find that the best thing to do is this:
When you get a new phone, switch off the auto-update feature. It isn't worth the trouble.
Next, set the correct time zone (currently GMT+1 in the UK or GMT+2 in France).
Then set the time, and never touch it again.
When you move between time zones, or change from summer to winter time, always change the time zone rather than the time.

IOS 7 Notifications, Calendar and Reminders ?

Trying to learn the ropes with the new ios 7 but can't seem to figure out the calendar and reminders within the notifications drop down.
At 23:00 when I was trying to work through this my calendar on notifications showed 1 line with 23:00 that was blank (pointless?) I have things on my calendar for the morning, is there a way to just display actual entries from my calendar rather than a blank 5 hours ?
Just as an extra here it's now past midnight and my clock says 00:03, my summary says 'The first thing on your calendar is xxx at 9:00am: in 25 minutes ? Where on earth is it getting 25 minutes from ?
As for reminders, I have them inside the reminders app but I'd like them to show on the swipe down notifications too... in settings I have the switch to green for reminders, not sure what else I can do re settings to get these to show up ?
One last thing in my notifications - All and Missed are blank, I assume missed is for calls which is fine but All ? Surely something should be showing in there ?
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem too. When I add an event on my mac it syncs with my iCloud account but the changes never reach my iPhone. If I make a change on my iPhone it could sync with my mac without any problem. I tried some solutions from this page (iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks) and it didn't work. And now, after i disabled iCloud sync on my iPhone and enabled it again, not only it doesn't sync but also I can't even add a new event or new reminder.

TA44535 ipod touch with calendar and contacts?

Why can't I have a calendar and contacts in my Ipod Nano? I need it! I think many peoples need it!
Because its very practical, you have in a clock (ipod nano) with "time maneger".
Will have this up grade in the future?

You aren't speaking to Apple here. If you have suggestions to make regarding their iPod Nano, use the forum on this page.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
It's likely they aren't included due to the 6G Nano's small screen real estate.

I use an iPad 3 with IOS6. When opening the calendar and strolling to march 2013, calender always shuts down.

I use an iPad 3 with IOS6. When opening the calendar and strolling to MARCH 2013 calender shuts down...
Anybody with same problem or having a solution?

Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving.

Business iCal sending out multiple calendar invites - one calendar and one account, 2 people using it for work

First question:
My boss has a Macbook Pro (iPad & iPhone), I have a Dell and iPad. We use his iCal for our work calendar and my Outlook is logged into his iCal so that I can load appointments & send them out to clients. He obviously has access to the same calendar so that he can also load appointments.
We have realised that sometimes the meeting invite, although I only send ONE invite out, will send 6 invites to a person. Here below you will see the icons that appear next to the 6 invites that the person that receives it sees next to the invites. It is therefor 3 types of emails/invites that are each sent out twice to the client. This is obviously not ideal. Could it be that I must not include my boss in the invites (as it is already his calendar sending out the invites), or what could it be that I am doing wrong?
Second question:
How can I ensure that replies (Yes/No/Maybe/Comments) appear in the iCal meeting, as people reply, but those replies I have to copy and paste into the meeting as they do not currently automatically update in the meeting.
Third question:
Any suggestions on a better system/method?
Please help!

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

HT4968 How can I take a shared calendar and recreate it using my personal ical rather than having to share?

Here's the deal. I stepped into an administrative position last fall and began building an entire calender schedule for our summer 2014 program. I put a lot of work into building two months, however I have only just realized that the apple ID is for the former person who had my job (she left herself logged in on the mac I am now using). My fault for assuming the apple id and login would be the same as the email account I am responsible for.
I did manage to share one of the calendars I created using her apple ID, so I still have access, however, I'd feel better if I could somehow take this "shared" calendar and keep it as my own using the apple ID for the email account I'm responsible for. In other words, is there a way to take a calendar that was shared with you by someone else and save it under my apple ID as MY primary calendar? I'm paranoid that this former employee will delete said shared calendar and I will have to start from scratch...

Before you start see if you can export the calendar to a .ics file via the File ➙ Export menu option. In your own account import the .ics file and that, hopefully, will bring in all the work you've done so far.

CU8 Update - Public Folder Calendar and Contacts show up in OWA that no longer exist and I cannot access when selecting.

We recently updated to CU8. I went to test out the new Public Folder access to calendars and contacts. I first go to Calendars in OWA and I see a list of several calendars. I see one that is listed twice, one I can open and the other states "Couldn't
open calendar - A connection couldn't be made with the shared calendar. Remove the calendar and try to add it again, or ask the owner to share it again." I also see other calendar's that we used in the past but no longer reside under public folders.
I get the same error on them.
For People, I can go there and I see a section called "Public Folder" and there is a contact list called "IT Team Contacts". When I click on it, it states in the middle pane "Your request can't be completed right now.
Please try again later." This contact list is not on our public folders.
Any ideas on why we I'm seeing these issues?
Thanks,
Jeff Dailey

Seems like some orphaned PF favorites. You should be able to remove them from Outlook, or via MFCMAPI

How to get calendars and notes from my iPhone into iCloud?

Hello all,
yesterday I got a new MacBook Pro Retina at work. This upgrade me to OSX 10.8 from 10.6, so I planned to use iCloud to sync my iPhone 5 and my Mac this way. So far I synced the devices manually via iTunes.
However, so far I only got Contacts to sync with iCloud correctly. Calendars and notes just don't do it, although their sync is turned on on the iPhone as well as on the Mac.
All my attempts to get it to work obviously destroyed the possibility to sync calendars via iTunes - after a sync there is just nothing showing up in Calendar. This is really bad as now I can only access my calendars via the iPhone.
Since my iPhone now contains the most recent calendar and note data the question is even more simple: how can I get these data from my iPhone into iClous so they will also sync with my Mac (and from then on on all devices)?
It doesn't work by just turning calendar sync on on the iPhone. When I do this, I now see two calendar groups "From my Mac" and "From iCloud". Great, but what I want is to replace "From iCloud" with "From my Mac".
I have already reset iCloud, but this didn't help either.
I'm close to desperation, so any hints are very much appreciated!
Thanks and best wishes,
Thomas.

Solved - it was a general sync problem. Today I was not even able anymore to sync my calendars via iTunes. Problem and solution see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5505069.
Best,
Thomas.

The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Calendar and contact options are greyed out

Hi all,
I wand to sync my contacts and calendar between my iPad1 and my Windows Laptop.
After installing the icloud sync software, I was only able to check "favourites and photostream" to be synced. The fields mail, calendar and contacts are greyed out and not available to select.
I have browsed through the Internet, de-installed that software piece and installed it again, not change.
Passwaords have been corrected according to the iTune needs (8characters, and so on).
I do not know what to do, any ideas?
Thanks

When you say you are trying to get a file from your local c:drive, dio you mean that you are trying to import a file into your site from elsewhere on your computer, rather than 'getting' it from your remote server. If you are trying to import a file from your local c:drive don't use the 'get' or 'put' buttons because they are just for remote connections, instead just use windows explorer to locate the file then either copy or cut and paste the file into the folder for your site.
