Location Reminders at Wrong Time/Place

Location reminders worked great until a few months ago. Not sure if it was the iOS8 update or what, but it has issues now.
I use "Reminders" on iOS8 to remind me at my work. A lot of the time they don't go off when I get there, and pop up hours later when I am at my apartment. It happens all the time and basically makes this once cherished feature useless.
I recently purchased another location reminder app called "Checkmark" (I think its called). It has the exact same issue.
I also noticed that sometimes they go off immediately after I change my wifi settings at my apartment, though a lot of the time they just go off randomly.
I believe I am on iOS 8.1

Here's the rev level info:
Patch: 116577-16 Obsoletes: 117706-08 Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWics5, SUNWica5

And yes, this problem occurs for existing and newly created events:
Summary: Testing
Start: Thursday, March 13, 2008 8:30:00 AM CST
End: Thursday, March 13, 2008 9:30:00 AM CST
The above reminder was for an event scheduled at 9:30am. The event in the calendar is at the correct time.
During the previous time changes, this worked fine. However, note that the upgrade was done in December.
Thanks,

How do I restore Reminders from a Time Machine backup?

Hi,
For reasons which are long and unimportant I have to restore my mac from a time machine backup without being able/wanting to use a full migration assistant etc
I'm currently having issues with restoring my Reminders from the TimeMachine backup I made. I have manged to restore Notes, by going to Library --> Containers and restoring the "com.apple.notes" folder, but this process doesn't work with the similar folder in Containers ("com.apple.reminders").
Am I doing something wrong here? Where does Mountain Lion store the reminders data?
Many thanks for any help

OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
I recently lost most of the contents of my Reminders. Although I can't be sure of the cause, I suspect a certain Mac cleaning utility.
I was able to restore my Reminders with the help of Apple Support, but the procedure was not straight forward as the ~/Library/Calendars folder “contains account data and generally speaking it will cause iCloud to activate even if deactivated and remove the data since the time stamp on the data is older than on iCloud”.
Here is the procedure that I followed:
1. Disconnect from Internet
2. Make a backup of your current ~/Library/Calendars folder
Locate Calendars folder using Finder
List the folders in your Home folder
Click on Go → Hold down alt key to see Library → Click on Library → Click on Calendars
Copy the Calendars folder to Desktop
3. Locate Calendars folder in Time Machine
Locate Library folder using Finder
List the folders in your Home folder
Click on Go → Hold down alt key to see Library → Click on Library
Enter Time Machine
Locate Library folder for the day/time you want to restore
Click on Calendars folder
4. Restore Calendars folder
Then Restart and check your Reminders to ensure that they are OK
5. Make a local backup of your Reminders
Export each Reminders list to (say) Desktop
Reminders → File → Export
6. Reinstate previously saved Calendars folder
Locate Library folder in Finder
Copy saved Calenders folder from Desktop into Library folder (over-writing previous Calendars folder)
Restart
7. Update Reminders from local backup
Import each Reminders list from Desktop
Reminders → File → Import → select backup file → select appropriate Reminders list
8. Reconnect with Internet

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.

MPX 2.1.1.2 - Wrong time in e-mail notification header

Hi,
when I schedule a meeting withMeeting Place Express 2.1.1.2, everobody recieve the notification for the meeting but the e-mail is coming with wrong time in its header(as shown in the attached file). The date seems to be set correctly but the time is always 00:00.
Meanwhile the schedueled time in the e-mail body is correct, as I've specified it.
The date and time on the server and the application are correct.
Any ideas what can be the problem?
Regards,
Vladimir Stankov

Thank you very much for your reply, Jonathan.
I suspected it was a bug but couldn't find it. Any chance you can give the bug ID?
Anyway I will contact TAC on this matter.

Get Siri to set location reminders (using multiple reminder lists)

I found a way to get Siri to set location reminders using multiple reminder lists (but you can just use one list too):
First make additional lists in the reminder app: click list button (the lines on the left) > edit > create new list > done. Make as many as you want. I have grocery, home, personal, business, family.
Let's say you want a reminder to pick up apples when you get to the apple store. You must add the location in your contacts to your name in contacts.
Do the following:
In maps app find the location with search.
Tap the blue arrow > Add to contacts > Add to existing contact
Choose your name in contacts. It will be added under your address for home or work so you will need to edit it:
Click Edit.
Click on the small label on the left of the new address - it will just say "address"
Scroll to bottom of page and click on Create custom label
Enter the location name like "Apple Store". Click Done.
Important Note: You will need to delete the url it adds under your home url section and maybe other things it messes up with the new contact info instead of yours - so check all the fields each time you do this.
To make a location based reminder using a specific list you must open that list yourself - Siri will not open it for you.
Example:
Open grocery list yourself in the reminders app
Tell Siri something like: "remind me to pick up apples" (Do not mention the location yet - if you do it will not work)
Siri will ask: "When should I remind you?"
Say: "When I get to the apple store"
Siri will say she will remind you and you will see the location reminder in the grocery list.
This is how it works for me but if you know an easier way let me know! This is beta so I'm sure it will get easier.

I have one thing to add. You don't have to open the list manually. Tell Siri: "Add to my <listname> list". For example, if you have a list named "Work", tell Siri: "Add to my work list". Siri will reply, "What should I add to your 'Personal' list?
and you can continue from there.
There is a syntax for doing all this in one sentence, but I find it only works about half the time. Too many fields for Siri to parse in her current Beta stage

V12 Panorama: Wrong time - Please make it easy to use the Organizer

When performing with V12 my first Panorama Merge, the resulting panorama Merge got the wrong time assigned (in V8, I did not encounter that problem). With V12, the two source jpeg photo files that were merged into the panorama have a timestamp of 4/5/2013 12:59. However the resulting panorama jpeg file has a timestamp of 4/5/2013 10:59. This result in one additional manual operation, that i must perform after completion of the Panorama Merge: I must correct the time.
I am not sure how that time difference of two hours happened. Is it because I am in Switzerland, where we have still the Summer time and are ahead by two hours from Greenwhich Mean Time?
I have a kind request for the next Version of PSE: avoid to make it difficult and painfull to use the PSE Organizer in conjunction with Photomerge Panorama. Today, without technical reason/merit, use of the PSE Organizer in conjunction with Photomerge Panorama is extremely painful and inefficient. For each result of a Panorama Merge, I have to do all of the following and that is very inefficient (especially with large catalogs) and painfull:
I must find within the Organizer bin the result of the Photomerge (to do that, I typically need to switch the Photo Bin into Import Batch sequence...and then later on switch back to a more reasonable sequence)
I must verify and then correct manually the time of the resulting photomerge file
I must determine which tags were assigned to the individual component/source files, navigate within my large Tag structure to find the tags, and then assign manually to the photomerge result the Tags of the source photos
I must deternmine in which Album(s) the individual component/source files were included, navigate within my large Album hierarchical structure to find the Albums and then include manually the photomerge result into the same Album(s) as the source photo. Then I have to move the photomderge result to the right location within Album Sequence.
I must make sure, that the resulting jpeg file is stored in the same folder as the source photos.
All that is a real horror. I am sure, that all opf us (both from Adobe and from the PSE fan community) want to make it easy to use the Organizer.
Ideally, I would like to have (one? or multiple distinct/selective?) sticky options (in the Photomerge dialog pannel? in Preferences? at another location?) that would do all the above automatically for me.
Of course, I understand, that other PSE users will sometimes not like (as I also sometimes do not like) to have the same tags/Albums associations for the resulting photofile as for the compoenent/source files. But It is so much easier to remove selectively one or more Tag/Album association from a photo then to search a large Tag/Album Hierarchy for the correct Tags/Albums and then associate these Tags/Albums with the Photomerge Result.

Michel, Thank You for your answer.
Hopefully, Asobe development will make a distinction between:
- "missing functionality" (the alphanumeric sort which wes mising in V11), that requires new/additional code
- and "bugs" that are important (because in this case, the bug results in a Timestamp related dis-organization within the PSE Catalog) and can hopefully be fixed relatively easely.
Since the "date problem" that I had encountered orginally while performing a Panorama Merge is a general problem that is not related to Panorama Merge: for the date problem, I will open another Thread.
To come back to your excellent "suggestion" related to Photomerge Panorama: it is my impression that based on your idea/suggestion, the problem could be relatively easely fixed in V13.
To simplify a little bit: when performing a Panorama Merge, the Editor could record somewhere internally, the Identification (e.g. Filename and Foldername) of the Photos that are used as input for the Merge. And when later on, the PSE user performs a "Save As" or a "Close" of the resulting panorama, the Editor could offer to the user the option to save the Panorama File within a Versionset.
- in the simplest implementation: the Editor would choose without asking any question with which one of the Input Files the result should be saved into a Versionset
- in a little bit more more luxurious implementation: The Editor could ask the PSE user with wich ones of the Input Files the result should be saved into a Versionset
The PSE user, could (if he wish) later on remove the Panorama Merge from the Versionset. That Is easy and fast to do.
Of course, thanks to Michel, I have now an excellent Workaround. Myself do therefore not need an "official" solution in V13. But I nevertheless believe that a lot of other PSE users will not be aware of the suggestion of Michel and will therefore waste a lot of time for a proper "organizazion" of their Photomerge Panorama. It would be great, if PSE would complement the outstanding Photomerge Panorama support of the Editor with a good and simple-to-use/simple-to-understand support of the Panorams within the Organizer

Nano World time displaying wrong time!!

I just got hold of my ipod nano this morning. Was so looking forward to it till i found out later on that it wouldn't work with my 3rd party USB2 pci card. That was fine, i just used USB1.1 which took really really really long.
Finally, when it was done, i got to fiddling with it. I toggled to the World Clock and thought it'd be cool to fiddle with it. What i found was that the world clock is displaying all the WRONG times. I'm currently in Perth, Australia which is +8GMT. The ipod's main clock and date are all set correctly, and timezone set to Beijing, which is +8GMT equivalent.
But, when i get the world clock feature to display with my time, it displays 7AM (the real time is 3PM). It's the same with the other regions/times as well. Anybody else have this problem?
Hope somebody comes up with a fix
Thanks!

First, u pop the CD that came with the nano into your computer. Then, you locate the ipod software updater. Just launch that program, click and restore and follow the on scree instructions.
You should be good to go after that

Location reminders not working..?

Does anyone knows what is happening with location reminders in iOS7?
As soon as you close the reminders app it just won't work...

In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.
The following is generally a good starting point to verify that Reminders will be able to fire location-based reminders:
Settings > Privacy > Location Services
Verify that the toggle for Reminders is ON and that a purple hollow location arrow is displayed next to it.
This arrow may be solid if Reminders was provided the device's location within the last minute.
Give a minute or so to this arow to give you the current location access status of this app.
If the toggle is ON but you don't see the purple hollow location arrow next to it after one minute:
- Verify that the following is ON for Reminders:
Settings > General > Background App Refresh
- Launch Reminders and keep it in the background by pressing the Home button.

Some events appear at wrong time when publishing to web

When I publish my calendar and then view it on the web, events I have created myself in iCal are shown at the correct time, but any events I have recieved from Evolution (the email/calendar application my colleagues use) as an .ics file are shown exactly 8 hours later than they should be. Perhaps it's a coincidence that this is the exact time difference between the UK (where I live and work) and West Coast USA?
Just to make it clear: all events appear correctly in iCal and, if I send a subscribe email to myself and then subscribe to the published calendar, they also appear correctly in iCal. The only place where they appear at the wrong times is in the http://ical.mac.com/<username>/<calendarname> address, and it's only events that I have recieved via email.
Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve asking my colleagues to change settings on their Ubuntu workstations? Perhaps it's a problem with Apple's ical website that they need to fix? Either way, it makes the business of publishing my calendars largely useless.

Bernard Harte wrote:
It's likely that the problem is due to an incompatibility between the way that the two systems define time zones.
This is what I thought, but iCal itself seems to cope with this, whereas the .Mac iCal web server doesn't, which is a shame.
I suspect that you don't have time zone support switched on in the Advanced tab of Preferences. If you don't, try switching it on and then looking at one of your events and one of the rogue ones in the edit window. You'll probably see a difference in time zones - i.e. that the rogue ones are in US Pacific zone.
I switched on time zone support, but it didn't change any of the events in iCal at all; i.e., the "rogue" events still show at the correct time (and the incorrect time on the iCal web server).
If this guess is correct, you will need to get your colleagues to change their time zone since iCal and ical.mac.com are behaving as they should.
They are all on the same timezone as me - Europe/London (which is currently on DST).
If the guess isn't correct, report back and we'll work on a solution
Then I look forward to hearing from you!

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.

What makes my default project location to bounce between two places in FCP X?

I wonder what makes my default project location to bounce between two places in FCP X?The project I am working on is on my local disks which are backed up (daily) to external eSATA enclosure. If I run FCP X just by clicking its icon (not a project file) in most cases it opens FCP X with a project but in event library there is not files linked.Sometimes it expands the project’s library located on backup station.
To make active the the local version (get it expanded and access all the files related to the project, I have to: close FCP X, launch FCP X by click on a project or a library file, close FCP X again and then I can get the project and its content displayed correctly just by clicking on a FCP X icon.
After backup is made (I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup this volume) if I relaunch my FCP X, I have to start the procedure mentioned above all over again. What I am doing wrong?

Munas, what you describes sounds a lot like the problem I've been experiencing.
I have two matching external drives mounted. Drive 1 is the primary, Drive 2 is an identical back-up. Both identically formatted.
FCPX randomly opens drive 2 when I start the program, even when I click on a sidebar link to a project on Drive 1. The clips are often, nonsensically, shown as off-line.
I really don’t care if FCPX recognizes drive 2, in fact I wish it wouldn’t. I don’t, obviously, want to unmount Drive 2 just to use FCPX.
My workaround for this was to rename the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Project folders “FCE” and “FCP” respectively on Drive 2, and configure my back up utility accordingly.
Now, although Drive 2 is listed in the Events and Project Libraries on start up, FCPX doesn’t recognize any events or projects on it, and it sits there as an icon that can’t be expanded. I can live with this until a fix comes, in fact I rather like it.
Cheers

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.
Regards,
Winnie Liang

DM Syncs Appointments with the Wrong Times

I have seen numerous posts in the forums about my problem. However, there is always a general statement of "I have never seen this" that is included with any technical support. I know there are numerous others who have the same problem. There are dozens in my company alone.
When I use Desktop Manager versions 4.2.2, 4.5, 4.6, or 4.7 to sync with an Outook 2007 calendar to either a Blackberry 8830WE or 9530 Storm from Verizion, many of the calendar appointments are sync'd with the wrong time. It seems to be isolated to reoccuring appointments and especially those planned by others that I have accepted. The offset is not consistent. It ranges between 3 and 6 hours, but there are always sync'd too early. My reoccuring 8am appointment shows up at 3am right now!
All of the time zones are correct and the same on all devices and in all software. This is a frustating and yet rampant problem.
I am using Google Calendar wireless sync to get around my problem, but it is simply a work around. I would prefer the BB software work correctly. It is troublesome to have to do this. I had a Motorola Q before, and I have had no problems with the same Outlook and Windows install.
PLEASE HELP!

OK, I'll admit I'm a newbee, but I have been dealing with this issue since getting my Storm approx. 2 months ago and it's driving me nuts! I've been through as many posts as I can find and have turned off 'update device time' in DM and made sure all my times and time zones are set correctly in Outlook and BB... I work for a US company and live in the UK, so I am constantly getting appointments with US TZ settings. At first they appear to be handled correctly and appear at the correct UK time and TZ in my Outlook and BB calendars. HOWEVER, when I sync with DM somewhere along the line the TZ (and actual timing of the meetings) is getting adjusted to the local time/TZ.
As an example - I receive a meeting that was natively created for 09:30 Mountain time (GMT-7). I accept this in my local Outlook an it appears correctly. When I sync with DM, however, it gets changed to a 16:30 start and GMT TZ. When I sync again, DM indicates a change to the appointment and forces an update in Outlook - after which the meeting appears in Outlook with a 16:30 start and GMT TZ.
Now, in absolute terms this is OK since the 'local' time of the meeting start is the same with both combinations. But things get completely screwed up when the originator changes the meeting time - causing it to shift all over the place. This is futher complicated since I travel to Europe (and the US) on a regular basis and am thus changing TZs often.
Since the BB calendar allows you to associate a TZ with a meeting when you enter it in the device, WHY does a DM sync result in a forced change in meeting time / TZ and not use the original meeting's??
Surely this is a BUG? Surely DM should not be messing with these attributes at all??

NTP sets SMB clients to wrong time

Hi
The Server (Mac OS 10.6 server) is set as a time server for the domain but from yesterday reset most of the Windows clients that logged on via SMB to about 3/4s hr fast with the result that IP address's were dropped (Lease expired) and software relying on a network connection failed, time stamps of saved files were wrong and emails had the wrong time. In one case the month was changed to October so the guy went on holiday! Seriously, this is a big problem.
I've tried resetting the time locale, NTP time server and got rid of "LocalTime" which was a folder instead of a simlink but clients are still reporting time anomalies.
Thanks

ntp isn't particularly related to smb/cifs/samba, nor to dhcp, and ntp doesn't implement local time; ntp uses utc/gmt as the time base, and the local boxes adjust their time and timezones based on the client-local timezone definitions.
It could be that ntp is misconfigured, that something has gone seriously wacky with the ntp time base (hardware error? software error? network error? time-based attack? etc), or there's a rogue ntp server running.
Have a look at the ntp chatter in the system.log console log on the ntp server as a starting point, and at whatever passes for logging on the ntp clients, and at the settings for ntp. Out-of-the-box, there can be the requirement to tweak the ntp client or daemon configuration via the /etc/ntp.conf file, for instance.

My Ipod is stuck on a white screen with the wrong time and a lock. computer doesn't recognized my Ipod..also gets hot when connected to charge..any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You

Hi
My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.
