IPhone 5 Time Zone Support Broken with iOS 8.1.2 Update

Just returned from a U.S. business trip where my work appointments (sync’d to enterprise Exchange account) were not showing up in the correct time zone. Everything was three hours off. Events entered on my iPhone were also showing up three hours off on my Outlook client.
But the biggest problem came when I returned home and the iPhone wouldn’t automatically change the time zone back. The “automatic” setting is not working, device time is still three hours slow (still set for Pacific time). The “time zone” is displaying as “New York.” Disabling automatic time zone set results in the correct date and time directly under the “time zone” set band, tapping on the band goes to the search screen that already shows “New York, U.S.A.” (general-date & time-time zone). Re-entering the correct zone (“New York”) does nothing different.
Just for fun, I tried it again with a manual set for “Phoenix, U.S.A.” The time display directly below shows the correct current Phoenix time (12:03 p.m.), but the device is still stuck on PST (11:03 p.m.).
Going back in and changing the time zone to “automatic” results in “New York” being displayed, but no change in device time. But disabling the “automatic” mode shows “Phoenix” again with Phoenix time directly below.
While all this stupidity is going on, a quick look at the “clock” icon show the correct New York time (with the sweep second hand), but the device time (displayed at the top of the home screen) and the alarm still displays three hours slow.
Anyone else unable to change their iPhone device time to the correct time zone?

Try doing  a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.

  • With Time Zone Support on Calendar no longer automatically adjust to the local timezone.

    Apples support forums are riddled with Discussions about problems with being able to dicate a specific time zone for appointments. Many of these postings, as well as their corresponding solutions, are unnecessarily lenghtly when the root cause of all of this is a one very simple mistake by Apple. Right now to be able to assign a specifc timezone for an appointment using the Calendar app on the iPhone you have to have "Time Zone Support" turned on in Settings. The problem is that when you turn on this feature the Calendar app stops automatically updating the calendar to reflect the local time zone you are in. These are simply two seperate items that have no reason to be tied together. Apple could easily correct almost all of the issues people are having with this topic if it simply split this into two seperate options that users can turn on/off seprately:
    1.) Enter time zone for each appointment. YES/NO
    2.) Adjust Calendar to the local timezone. YES/NO
    It is virturally incomprehensible that Apple has not fixed this. It was clearly a mistake.

    I have this problem too and am frustrated - it's not solving no matter what i do. And now Siri is totally bonkers too on this new software update - can't even pull from my contacts when I ask her to look someone up. What the heck is going on at Apple software? Have they been hiring a bunch of arrogant, crap programmers? I am seriously thinking of not buying an iPhone again after having one for 5 years. So disappointed!!

  • HT4576 I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip before I go, and see those local times in the places I visit, but also be able to set new appointments while I am traveling, in the local times.  Can I do this with Time Zone Support?  If not,

    I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip on my iPhone 4S before I go, and have them appear as I put them in (for the local time) when visiting other countries.  I also want to be able to adjust times and set up new appointments when I am overseas for the local time.  Can I do this using the Time Zone Support or any other way? 
    Basically I want to do what I can do with a piece of paper - write down the time for when I will be there, and have it viewable when I am there, but also be able to put down new times while there.

    Hi.
    Regarding your question about reverting back- yes, I think you can. If you make a backup of your current configuration in Server Admin (by dragging the configuration file to your desktop- cool, no?) then you can load that one back in should your configuration not work. If you have the manual from Apple it should describe this process.
    Network speed post-op? I don't think you will need to worry. Even using home directories stored on our OS X Server there is no network slowdown (that you can notice or that impacts the wider LAN in any case). It shouldn't slow down access to files, applications (which still come from the local drive anyway) or individual internet connections (even with filtering).
    In our experience some of these things have actually got faster- but a lot of that is user perception. Same goes for people who will know you have configured the server and that they are now accessing files through your network from the server, and who really think it is slower. File coming from your local hard drive will always be quicker- but network access isn't that bad that it will make you barf and run in the opposite direction.
    Something to look at: connection speed between clients and switching technology in your office. In other words, what kinds of switches are you using, what line speed have you got (100MB/s?) and is the connection from your server to the switch gigabit? Make sure it is.
    Enjoy

  • Exchange/Outlook and iPhone 1 hour off, and Time Zone Support is OFF

    Hi, in reading thru the threads about Accepting an appointment in an iPhone shifting the appointment 1 hour ahead in the iPhone and Outlook 2003, the consensus is that the issue is with a bug in the Time Zone Support setting in Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and that either refreshing this setting or disabling Time Zone Support fixes the sync. At our facility there were 2 iPhone 3GSs that had this issue and the refresh fixed only one of them. The other persists in moving the appointment forward 1 hour after accepting on the iPhone; if the user accepts from Outlook, the correct time is reflected on the iPhone. The strange thing is that the appointment time is correct when it shows up in the calendar inbox, you can watch it move the appointment forward after pressing accept on the iPhone!
    I've double-checked everything on the Outlook/Exchange side, the time zone and DST settings are correct. This user has noticed this behavior after DST in March.
    Anything I'm missing?

    they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.

  • Problem caused with appt times by changing calendar time zone support?

    I've got a 30Gb iPod Touch, version 4.0.2.
    I've always kept the Settings' Date & Time timezone for the correct location, but it was only a while back that I realized that there was also a Time Zone under the Settings, Calendar, and so I changed it so that it was correct (it was previously set to Kabul, AF time, and it was then changed to Ottawa, ON time).
    I'm thinking that this may have messed up all my future appointments, as my appointments have been switched to midnight or somewhere near it, for the day prior to when the appointment was supposed to have been. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this, and didn't see this exact problem occurring for anyone else when I did a search of the discussions.
    Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and what I can do to set it right?

    Hi Cindiii,
    Time zone support has often been a point of contention and confusion for many users. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix at the present time. Do you have any idea as to why you touch was set to Kabul? Did you buy it new? If not, perhaps the last user had it set to this time?
    In any case, Calendar does allow for its own time zone settings. This is to allow the user to create events for his/her home time zone while traveling. Even if your system time zone reflects the current time zone that you are in, appointments added to Cakendar will show up in the time zine that you choose based in the time zone you set in the Calendar settings.
    This definitely sets up conflicts if you are trying to schedule an appointment that is outside of your home time zone. Now that you have switched the time zone in your Calendar settings to your home time zone, there is nothing you can do about the events already created. As I see it, you have only two options:
    1. Change the time zone back to Kabul time and view your events as though they were your local time, or
    2. Leave the time zone in the Calendar settings to your home time zone and either time adjust the events in your head (knowing the time difference), or manually changing them to the correct time one by one.
    I'm sorry this doesn't provide you with a magic solution, but I really don't see any other alternatives.

  • Cannot completely turn off time zone support in the iPhone calendar

    In iOS7 it was possible in settings to turn off time zone support in the calendar. (This is not the same as having the date and time of the phone automatically change to current time zone which is generally what one wants and is not affected by calendar time zone support.) The problem in iOS8 is that Time Zone Override is not the same as Time Zone on/off. Here is an an example.
    1) you live in Chicago and central time is your "home" time zone.
    2) you find out about a meeting in New York at 1:00pm next week. You want to add the meeting to your calendar. If you add it at 1:00pm, when you arrive in New York (and change time zones), it will change the meeting time to 2:00pm.
    Time Zone Override does not turn off the time zone calendar support. It provides two different views (time in current time zone and time in home tine zone). But time zones are irrelevant when I am scheduling an event at a known time. (Time Zone Override ON seems to work only if you are out of your home time zone and schedule something in your home time zone. But this is almost never what I encounter since I am usually at home, and need to schedule an event outside my home time zone.)

    It would seem that way. But with "time zone support" on, you'll simply view your events "as if" you were in a certain time zone.
    Example: I create an event in California for 6pm. ( A "California event") If I turn "time zone support" on, and select my time zone as Los Angeles, nothing changes. But if I select Oklahoma city, the time WILL change to 8pm, because it assumes I need to view a "California event" in Central Time.
    "Time Zone Support" was created for people that have phone conferences in different time zones. The feature allows one standard time to be used in the calendar, and anyone outside the time zone can use "time zone support" to read it in thier respective time zone.
    I'm saying this feature is trying to complicatedly simplify the calendar. I can use the organ between my ears to assume the correct time zone. And having to dig into my preferences in order to view my events correctly is completely insane.
    All I want is to create an event, set an alarm, and not have to EVER worry about it changing.
    I assumed that turning "time zone support" off would accomplish this as it did in the past. But the calendar STILL REMEMBERS WHERE AN EVENT WAS CREATED. So if the time zone ever changes, it will try to view the event according to the time zone you are currently in.
    iCloud does the same thing. When you set your time zone on iCloud, it will view an event according to THAT time zone. If you are in Central time and create an event, your iCloud calendar better be set to Central time or else there will be a descrepancy between your phone calendar and your iCloud calendar.
    I just want to turn off "time zone support" COMPLETELY.

  • When time zone support is on even when I am on Jerusalem, when i create an appointment the time zone for the appointment is immediately changed to Gaza and even when I change it manually it returns to Gaza.

    I have a 4s iPhone on IOS 6.0.1 with an Israeli Cellular provider.
    I use Gmail services an exchange to sync my colander contacts and mail.
    When the time zone support is set to ON in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
    The time zone is showing Jerusalem (I am located in Tel-Aviv)
    When I create a new Appointment, It Immediately changes the time zone of the appointment to Gaza.
    Even if I change it back to Jerusalem it changes back to Gaza every time.
    Only when the time zone support is set to OFF in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
    The time zone in Gmail is ok and does not appear on the iPhone. (This is ok)
    Dose any one know how do I make the iPhone not change the time zone to Gaza? And still keep the time zone support on?
    TNX

    they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.

  • Time Zone not observed in iOS 7 subscribed calendar but is in Mavericks

    I have a calendar which I subscribe to from both my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. The specific calendar is an NFL calendar at webcal://www.southendzone.com/ical/nfl.ics
    When I view the calendar on my MacBook Pro it shows me all the kick off times in my time zone, GMT and it has always done this without any effort on my part.
    No matter what I've tried with time zone support under iOS 7 I can't get my iPhone to show me the calendar in anything but the local time so a game scheduled to start at 01:25 GMT shows up on my iPhone as starting at 19:25. Playing with different time zones I can get all my own calendars to shift but entries for this calendar seem to be etched in stone.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    I am experiencing similar type of issue.  I subscribed to a Calendar which has scheduled meeting from my time zone and different time zone.  When I subscribe in OS X, it shows flawlessly on local time. But when I do it in IOS 7,  it shows MST as-is in EST time zone and no matter we play around all the time zone setting in General tab or Mail/Calendar tab.  It's not helping.
    Appears to be a bug in IOS 7.  It needs to be reported to Apple.

  • Why is iCal Time Zone Support hidden?

    Last week my wife sent me an iCal appointment for 2pm but I received it as 11am. On checking her iPhone she found the same time, 11am. We had both been overseas recently. On our return we had reset our time zones on our iPhone's and laptops to Auto so no problem there. Obviously we were very puzzled.
    I then checked the Apple support page and found a lot of people had the same problem with Mountain Lion although I'm running Mavericks.
    What I did discover was that in iCal > Preferences> Advanced is hidden a button called Time Zone Support.
    Why put it there? And why is it off by default?
    We turned it on on my Mac Book and hers then switched it off then on again on our iPhones and low and behold the appointment times changed to 2pm on all our devices.
    I don't understand why changing time and date settings or having them on Auto shouldn't adjust all native apps and hiding the setting in advanced preferences just seems ridiculous.
    Maybe that's just me?

    I'm not sure how putting something in the user Preferences for an app hides it, but...
    And why is it off by default?
    I got into an argument with someone about using time zones in Calendar. He only wanted the times to show up as local times regardless of which time zone was selected and what time zone had created the event. I think he actuall missed some appointments when travelling overseas. His assistant had set up the appointments, and when he looked at them before he left, they were listed as late in the day because he was looking at his current time zone.
    So, I guess that is why it is off by default.

  • IMac 10.6.8 will not recognize iPhone v.4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1

    I cannot get photos from my iPhone version 4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1 to appear on the desktop of my iMac running 10.6.8.
    It will not open iPhoto nor will preview recognize the iPhone as being connected. No way to get newly taken photos to iPhoto.

    Have you just tried opening iPhoto manually to see if your iPhone will show up that way?
    Have you tried shutting down your Mac and doing a PRAM reset?
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone.

  • HT4576 "Time Zone Support" in Calendars should be renamed to "Override Time Zone Support"

    So, I live on the East coast and notice, while on a trip just outside Cupertino, that my iPhone Calendar wasn't updating to the the local time, even though my iPhone had correctly updated to PST.
    Finally, at the end of my trip, oh so nigh to Cupertino, I find out that my Calendar's erroneous display of time was due to the "Time Zone Support" configuration option.
    This is a GROSS misnomer.
    iOS requires the specification of a timezone - else the time would be set arbitrarily and would waste the time (NTP) service provided by the cellular provider.
    Thus, the "Time Zone Support" option under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" should be relabeled to "Override Time Zone Support" AND the ability to assign an event to a time zone should always be available (though defaulting to the current time zone - unless a 'Default Time Zone' configuration option is added).

    The behavior you are seeing is actually inherent in most calendar apps -- the deal is that you are telling your calendar when something happens, not what time.  Our company writes a calendaring+task management app for iPhone called Pocket Informant - we get this same question on occassion, so I wrote up a Knowledge Base article discussing some details (keep in mind - this article discusses some features specific to our app that you won't find in iCal/Calendar on MacOS X):
    http://webis.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/123/0/why-do-the-times-change -on-my-appointments-when-i-travel-to-a-different-time-zone
    In iCal/Calendar on MacOS X, when you turn on Time Zone support, you then get to choose the time zone that you are entering your appointment for.  This helps you not have to do the "time zone math" in your head.  Thus, if you are in CST and want to set up an appointment for 6pm PST, you can choose PST in the event editor as you enter 6pm.  Note that while you are in CST, your event will display in your calendar at "CST time" (8pm), but when you fly out to PST, it will show the "correct" PST time. 
    While iCal/Calendar supports "floating time zones", I personally would caution against using them for everything (I mentioned a few reasons why in the above kbase article).  Use those for events that truly are "time driven" rather than "point in time" driven (such as "I want to go jogging every morning at 5am no matter what time zone I'm in). 
    Hope that helps some!

  • 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.

  • Calendar Time Zone Support

    Could someone please explain what time zone support is?
    Should I have it on or off if I do a lot of travelling?
    And what does it mean when it is on or off?

    Worse yet... With iOS 6.1.3 and Exchange, timezone is not displayed for events that were accepted from another person. The option for such events is 'details' instead of 'edit' and the timezone is not displayed. Come on, this is trivial to fix and vital as a basis for handling events.

  • What does time zone support do on iCloud? Should I leave it off or turn it on?

    I find time zone support to be one of the most confusing things Apple does.
    If I travel from Chicago to Florida (Central to Eastern time) my appointment times change on the Mac.
    I'm not sure what they will do on the iPhone,
    and really, what does it do in iCloud? It is an advanced option as I found out when all my Chicago appointments showed up two hours earlier in the cloud.
    I changed to Central time, using the instructions on iCloud, but what is the value of time zone support there? The Apple server is not moving when I travel. Should I just leave it turned off?

    they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.

  • How do I backup voice memos from iPhone 4 to my Macbook with iOS 6.0?

    How do I backup voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, with iOS 6?
    I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

    Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
    With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?
