Iphone Calendar - .ics - Wrong Time - IOS5 - 4S

I also made a previous post a new message see below
I think I have the same issue, on my iphone and also agree appears this is a multi year issue
Details:
- Phone - Iphone4s
- IOS 5
- Exchange is not used on the target - me or calendar is kept only on the phone. - Small company example.
Appointments from Exchange outside users, from another timezone then mine, get imported (opening the .ics file) incorrectly with the wong time (or time offset). My issue appears that the time used in the body of the email is always used, rather then the the time relative to my location. I have called Verizon, and Apple and they were not able to help. This appears a bug, and the unforunately the reason I will be returning my iphone. Very sad, as I like my iphone, but getting the correct times on my meetings in critical, and based on what I read an issue that has stumped apple for a few years. Sad as it does not appear that complicated.
To reproduce:
- Open Outlook (web or thick click) - testdd in on the Outlook web client and change timezone (say to mountain time)
- Create a meeting invite and send to your iphone email address (my timezone is in eastern time)
- Open the .ics and the time will be incorrect, the appiontment will also be locked (another annoyance).
On a side note, I also noticed .ics will not update exiting appiontments, take the example of an appointment time changing, another problem.

This fixed it for me ( I have iphone 5s, but had the same problem with 4s) =
settings-mail-contacts-calendars-time zone support- "off"
settings-general-date&time-set auotmatically-on ( and time zone set as appropriate).
After turning the time zone support "off" , my calendar was correct. It reflected the change on the event instantly but took a minute or two to update the scheduled taskes ( the little section under the calendar itself)
When it was "on" it showed the time for events as pst., then when I turned it "off", it showed the event at my local time(mountain).
hope this works for you guys. best of luck

Iphone calendar displaying wrong times in day/week view

I work a lot of night shifts and consequently I input a lot of night shifts to my iphone calendar. They usually work. However, in a couple of weekends time I have some nights which I have input as starting on 30th march 20.45 ending 31st march 08.00, but are showing as starting 30th march 8am ending 20.45!30th march in any of the graphic views. In the event the times and dates are correct
I've tried deleting and reinputting, tinkering with the time zone and more but nothing is working and it's driving me spare!
Suggestions please!

Never use "Timezone support"; Settings/MailContactsCalendars/Calendars.
When the settings are correct in the event, and not corresponding in the display:
Do a "reset": hold the Power Button and the Home Button at the same time, keep holding, when you see the white apple logo appear, let go and let the 5s start.

Outlook 2013 calendar displays wrong time on iPhone calendar

I would like to start by saying this is definitely NOT a time zone issue. I have researched the internet and apple and have not been able to find a solution as of yet. This is also not restricted to my phone. We have our work calendar in Outlook 2013. When it syncs to my iPhone 5c and my boss' iPhone 4s it displays the time of the event exactly 7 hours earlier. I have checked the Outlook time zone and the iPhone time zone (in both places, general and the mail/contacts/calendar settings). They are all displayed in the current time zone. I have selected and deselected the auto setting for the time zone as well. Nothing has worked! I'm wondering if it has something to do with an update. It was working just fine for years and now all of a sudden displays the wrong time. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

Hi Cath,
Yes, it is a by default settings to delete meeting requests after it is responded. As what Vasil says, we can change the following Outlook settings to leave the meeting request message in Inbox:
1. Click File > Options.
2. In Mail option, on Send messages part, uncheck Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding option.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Then check whether the issue persists.

Why does the iPhone 5c display wrong time?

My iphone 5c currently started displaying the wrong time. I hadnt updated the software yet and thought this was the source of the issue. After the update was complete the time was still incorrect. I have tried syncing my phone with itunes, deleting world clocks, doing hard resets, even wiped the phone back to factory settings. Nothing has worked

Ok, so this is a two fold problem. One just like brad805 pointed out you have to have Settings App > General > Date & Time > if Set Automatically is OFF > ON, if it was ON > OFF > Set Date & Time yourself (but when you bring up this screen to manually set time there is this little reminder about having location services set to ON for it to change time zones correctly). So, leave it Settings App > General > Date & Time > if Set Automatically is OFF > ON, now go back to Settings App>Privacy>Location Services>ON (if off). Once I did this (which mine was off) and I went back to Date & Time instead of it thinking I was in New York, it now showed a very complicated America/Indiana/Indiana... (I suspect this is due to the fact that Indiana has 3 time zones EST, EDT (for the counties that observe) and CDT). Now time is running automatic and smoothly. This was on an iPhone 5c 16 GB running 7.1.2 on Verizon. I hope this helps.
On a side note, its sad that techs in the store cannot read the screen and Apples little notes on it to help you out.

When putting an event on my iPhone calendar and the time, when it goes to iCloud to my laptop or iPad calendar the times are different. How can I make the time the same?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is the calendar you are adding events to on the phone an iCloud calendar.

TS3999 iPhone calendar syncing wrong event times from my icloud

What am I doing wrong?

Jess,
Did you use the TS3999 link above your post topic?
If not, give it a try and then post further questions.

HT4623 iOS 8 version 8.1.2 issues with the calendar displaying wrong TIME ZONE!

I just updated to iOS 8 using version 8.1.2 and am having issues with the calendar. I use my GMAIL calendar and sync to my iPhone and now any calendar entries that I add from my phone display the current time zone AND GMT time. Entries that were already there display correctly. New entries entered from the GMAIL calendar also display correctly. The issue is with NEW entries entered on my PHONE into the calendar. This is very annoying and causes problems for new entries that need EDITED. Once opened to edit it defaults to GMT time! WRONG!! I have turned off the automatic time zone feature and Time Zone Override in Settings but it's still WRONG! There are multiple reports of this online so I would like to know when/if it will be corrected or if there is a fix! Please help!!

Quite the same problem here, GMT, UTC.......
Why when they do an update they don't check it completely???

Sync iPhone calendar to Corporate Time

Does anyone use this calendar program called Corporate Time 6.0? Its old as dirt I'm sure but I would like to sync it to my iPhone. Does anyone know if this is possible. There is nothing online about it and I'm not sure the people that make it are even still around. Any help would be AWESOME!!! Thank you so much!!!

No. There are no native apps for the iPhone.

Syncing Calendar from Outlook to iPhone results in different times

Hi, I just got an iphone, but when i try to sync my calendar from Outlook, the events always show up as 6 hours later. For example:
In Outlook:
Band Rehearsal, 12:30 - 15:30
On the iPhone:
Band Rehearsal, 18:30 - 21:30
I've checked the time zones and they all match (Windows, Outlook and iPhone are all set to Amsterdam). Any suggestions? Thanks!

I had the same problem and found the answer on another post. See below
New! Re: Iphone sync's wrong time calendar from outlook 2007
Posted: Aug 26, 2008 5:21 PM in response to: eyeken Reply Email
With help from google and some other people that have had the same problem I found the answer to this.
There is 2 regional settings on a iPhone.... (almost)
If you:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3. Scroll down to Claendar- Time Zone Support
Then there is a time zone aswell... and when I changed this one everything went fine....
You could also just diable this time zone support aswell....

Outlook Calendar stopped syncing with iPhone Calendar

I deleted a recurrent event on my iPhone and this action appears to have confused the sync capability between my iPhone and MS Outlook Calendar.
Outlook still tries to find the recurrent event on start-up even though it is not shown in Outlook Calendar.
More concerning is that new events and changes in Outlook Calendar are no longer syncing with iPhone Calendar. The time to complete the Calendar sync activity is noticeably longer than any of the other sync actions, which suggests that there is a problem.
I have been through the restore routine in iTunes and also attempted to replace all the Outlook Calendar data on the iPhone using the Advanced facility on the iTunes Info tab.
I appreciate that this may be an Outlook issue but are there any other things that I can try to restore the sync capability between the 2 Calendars.
All other sync functions appear to work ok - I have created and deleted Contact data from both Outlook and iPhone and this works fine.
Grateful for any help!

I'm not sure if this will work for you. It seems every time I research a problem, everyone has a different solution that doesn't work for everyone. (I just spent an hour and a half searching for a solution in various forums.) But this one just worked for me.
I went into iTunes, into the Devices page for my iPhone, then to the Info tab. I unchecked Sync Calendars with Outlook. A pop-up appeared saying, I believe (I didn't write it down) "Do you want to delete previously synced calendars on the iPhone" - or words to that effect. Since I hadn't entered anything directly into the iPhone calendar in a while, I clicked Okay. Then I clicked on Apply (lower right corner of iTunes). The iPhone synced, and all appointments disappeared from the iPhone calendar. I then rechecked Sync Calendars with Outlook, clicked Apply, and the iPhone synced once again - and all my Outlook calendar appointments appeared on the iPhone.
This was, I admit, after having deinstalled all Apple software from my PC and reinstalling it. That didn't work on its own (still couldn't sync calendars), but I don't know for sure whether it had something to do with the success of the de-sync / re-sync.
Good luck. These solutions always seem to be hit-and-miss.

I want to back up (NOT sync) my iphone calendar to my PC. Last time I lost my entire calendar. How can I avoid this?

I find the term 'sync' maddeningly imprecise and iTunes frustratingly counter-intuitive. So here's the situation: iPhone calendar - bulging; Outlook calendar - zilch. I want to back up FROM iPhone TO PC. Last time I tried this it seems the blank Outlook calendar over-wrote my iPhone calendar. Result - tears before bedtime.
Also I keep getting the message: 'The information on the iPhone... is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?' (What is a 'user account'? How can I find out what the iPhone was previously synced with? And does it matter?).
It then asks whether I want to 'Merge Info' or 'Replace Info', with a button provided for each of these choices.
Thus there are three questions, with buttons capable of answering only the last two. How do I indicate 'no' to question number one?
I'm totally confused and scared stiff of losing everything on my iPhone calendar. At present I am accepting the possible loss of my iPhone as being a lesser risk than my failure to understand these incomprehensible instructions and make the wrong choice.
Can anyone help, please?

Tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

I tried connecting to iTunes and neither the PC nor iTunes recognizes the device. I went through all the troubleshooting on the Apple website for this issue and nothing worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, the driver, everything and still can't get either the PC or iTunes to recognize the phone. I don't know what else to do :-( any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
I would hate to have lost all my info, especially contacts and calendar items since I have no idea what was backed up prior to the phone getting locked on this screen. I've been told that my only option is to go to the phone carrier and they will reset it for me, but that means it will wipe out all the info.
I hope someone has a fix other than that one.

IPhone calendar time problem post daylight savings time change

Addendum to the similar post about a one hour differential between iCal and iPhone. THis is not just iCal. I have the same problem on WIndows XP/Outlook 2003. Everythign worked fine until the time change last weekend. Now this is what happens:
Any meeting set up in Outlook BEFORE Daylight Savings that has a start date BEFORE Daylight Savings appears properly on iPhone. FOr example, every Thursday beginning Nov 1 at 8am. THis shows up correct in iPhone at 8am for today, Nov 8.
But, any meeting set up AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour later on the iPhone when I sync. SO a meeting I set up in OUtlook for 10am today shows up at 11am on the iPhone.
And, any calendar event I set up on the iPhone AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour earlier in Outlook 2003.
THis is a huge problem for me! Both of my calendars are wrong now. PLease help!!! I have tried everything I can:
I tried setting up meetings with the OUtlook Daylight Savings setting enables and disabled: no change. No differnce whether I set up the meeting on my PC or it is an invitation from someone else. I lost all sync history. no change. I overwrote all calendar content (in iPhone advanced options) - no change.
And, as my fellow poster mentions - the tiime on the two systems match.

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time. Only a restore fixes it. What can I try?

So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this. I mean like missing peices. I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem. It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use. For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari. This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while. Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails). The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any. Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting. Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work. The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse. Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about. That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together. This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it. Do I have to live with it? What can I try? Should I maybe replace the battery? I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

Please don't respond with useless comments. I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago. My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone. It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find. Don't be a dickhole.
