Ipad Calendar and Timezones

I use mobile me on the waeb, my mac, iphone and ipad.
I would like the ipad to be my "number 1" calendar so that I can keep it always open, but it is very erratic:
1. Timezones- If I edit an appointment on the ipad after it has been input or synced I no longer have access to the timezone.
2. The same goes for Calendar (Can't change from one calendar to another after appointment has bben nput or synched)
3. Synching is erratic at best. events synch, don't synch or get doubled depending on how the wind is blowing. I tried all combinations with mobile me, mac, iphone and ipad and could not find a pattern.

Thanks for all the help, but where do I swipe and delete?
I tried that inside the calendar app, on the iPad and birthday calendar...but all it does is selects the calendar, and no delete button appears.

Confused with Calendars and TimeZones

Hi, I'll explain what I want to do. I have a table with several of what I call a "Time Ranges". Each Time Range has a day (day of week), beginTime and endTime. I also have different clients, each from a different country. Each client has a timezone associated (the format of this timezone is not defined just yet, but it should be something like -3, -4, +1, etc).
I want to get the current date, and be able to figure out if it is within a certain time range. For example, right now in Argentina is
11:48 AM GMT-3
This should match these time ranges:
11:00~12:00 | -3
10:00~11:00 | -4
13:00~14:00 | -1
And should not match this time range:
11:00~12:00 | -4
I'm trying to get the "current time for a certain time zone" with Calendar, and then be able to extract the time from that Calendar and compare it with my beginTime and endTime. I'm not getting anywhere.
Something like this:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-08:00"));
System.out.println(cal.getTime());Is printing GMT-3 time. Please help.

Ok, I did it like this. The TimeRange Class has this method:
public boolean isActive(String timezone) {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezone));
if (cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == this.day) {
Time time = new Time(cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY), cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE), 0);
return (beginTime == null || time.after(beginTime)) && (endTime == null || time.before(endTime));
return false;
}Timezone should come in this format: "GMT-04:00" and Time is java.sql.Time.
The only downside is that the Time constructor I used is deprecated. It says I should use the one that uses milliseconds since 1970. That kinda sucks, as I don't really care how much time passed since that time for this time. Any ideas of what I should use?forget java.sql.Time. use Calendar.set(int year, int month, int date, int hourOfDay, int minute) to set beginTime and endTime. use Calendar.compareTo(Calendar anotherCalendar) for the test.

Not sure exactly what's going on in your TimeRange class but if the hour, minute, second and time zone in addition to the day of week (it seems that it does) for both begin and end time, then you can use this to create a Calendar instance to compare with the current time or to whatever other Calendar instance you want to check using its year, month day.

IPad Calendar and Google Calendar?

I have a couple of Google Calendars that I use, both syncing with my MBP, the iPhone (the web) and now the iPad.
Setup was easy as, the calendars are syncing and showing up as expected with a big BUT.
If I add an entry on the iPad or the iPhone or the web it shows up across all devices and can be deleted from all devices, but I also have an auto rule on my work account to auto delegate all meetings to my Google calendar. These auto delegated meetings show up as un accepted (unless I manually accept them) and work fine on all my other devices, yet on the iPad I can't delete them (there is no option) but I can on the iPhone...
Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour? Is there something I am doing wrong?

and now to add a bit more to it, I have broken it even more.
I watched the father in law set up his new iPad on Windows over the weekend and noticed that he simply ticked the "sync mail" box, selected his accounts and all details (except the passwords) were transferred to the iPad automatically. I figured the same would happen for calendars on my Mac, so playing in iTunes (OS 10.6.3) I notice the tick box for "sync calendars" and decide to turn that on to sync an extra calendar I'm subscribed to in iCal. I left on sync all calendars (including those that were already setup on the iPad) and everything seemed to work....
until I go into Calendar on the iPad, the two original accounts are now doubled up, no problems I think, I'll just remove them from when I have manually added them. So I remove them, but none of the entries go away... After much clicking and restarting and adding and removing it seems that there is no way to delete a calendar from the iPad ON the iPad itself. It also seems if you just untick "sync calendars" in iTunes it just stops syncing, but doesn't delete the calendar... yet it doesn't show up in the settings as a calender, nor can I add new events to it. There is also no way to delete all calendars since if I manually untick all calendars and try to sync from iTunes it decides I must really mean "sync all" so switches to that and re-syncs everything...
I'm about 1 step away from simply restoring the whole **** thing and starting again

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.

My iMac calendar and contacts no longer sync on iPhone and iPad?

I updated iTunes on my iMac a few months ago. Since then my calendar and my contacts on the iMac have not been syncing on my iPhone and my iPad. My memory says there used to be an "Info" button at the top of the iTunes interface when I had my iPhone or iPad connected to the iMac for syncing. Do not see that button any more? Have been looking and looking for some new way to sync my calendar and my contacts, but have not found anything. This is one of several disappointments with the new iTunes. How do I get my iMac, iPhone, iPad calendars and contacts to sync??
It's been a real pain to have to enter calendar and contact information into all three! My iMac runs on Maverick, my iTunes is 11.1.3, and the iPhone and iPad run on iOS 7.0.4

Hello Bev76,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like contacts and calendars on your iPad are not being synced to your iPhone 5, but the data syncs from iPhone to iPad.
If you are using iCloud for your contacts and calendars, start with the troubleshooting steps in the "iOS" or "Troubleshooting on iOS devices" sections of these articles:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

How do I see my iPad Calendar on my PC?

I got my iPad yesterday. I've never used Apple h/w before.
I can't see any calendar in iTunes.
How do I see my iPad Calendar and notes etc. on my PC? I currently use a Palm which syncs with my PC using Palm's desktop software. I don't use Outlook. I might switch to Thunderbird's calendar etc. if it will sync with iPad.

You can sync your iPad and Palm desktop software with

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.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc. It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update. Lost lot of info from calendar.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

Calendar app that will synch between iMac 10.6.8, iPad 2 and iPhone 5

I am looking for a calendar app that will synch my 3 devices (iMac 10.6.8, iPad 2 and iPhone 5). I tried upgrading my iMac to the latest version, whatever cat that is. I hated it ANd it didn't synch properly. Most events duplicated and some up to 5-6 times. I might have stuck it out and tried to figure out the replicating issue but I despised the entire interface to downgraded back to 10.6.8. I am thinking there has to be an app out there that will successfully synch calendars between these devices but from my search in the App Store, most seem to be geared to mobile devices only but I want to be able to see my events when I am at home on my iMac, too. Does anyone know of an independent app that will do this?

ICloud on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPod/Calendar issue

Quick question - I just need confirmation on this actually:
I have read and been told that I cannot use iCloud with OSX 10.5.8. However, can someone please explain why I can enable iCloud on my iPhone 4, and can add a calender event and actually see it appear on all of my devices? I can also log into iCloud, create an event, and it goes to my iPhone/iPad/iPod. I can't, however, see it on my computers iCalendar. Is this the limitation? I also can't create an event on my iMac's calendar and see it appear on my iPad/iPhone/iPod - I can simply sync via iOS devices.

Link,
Your Leopard computer is not capable of supporting iCloud with the iCal application, but your iOS 5 devices are iCloud calendar capable. You can however, access your iCloud calendar from your computer using a icloud.com url.
