My calendar time zones are misbehaving!

I've tried turning on and off airplane mode, restarting, and going in and out of time zone support.
The whole reason I have a smartphone is to track my calendar!
This was happening before I upgraded to iOS6,
but at least before I could manage to fix it.
Now it just wont get it right -
it thinks I'm stuck on the east coast.

I don't have a real solution either. When I'm travelling I turn off automatic time zone changes, stay in my original time zone and fix the time manually. But I agree, it is not understandable at all how someone can program this in such an awkward way and not fix it in years.

Hey Armando Stettner,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is!
With time zone support on, you can edit an individual event and change the time zone for that event. This list will include options for your default time zones, UTC, and "floating" - the latter of which is what you are looking for. Floating changes the event to occur at the specified time, local time.
For information on changing an event's time zone, see the following resource:
Calendar: Change an event’s time zone

I look forward to hearing how this works for you.
Cheers!

Calendar time zone on iOS 7

the time zone has disappearead on the calendar after updating to ios 7, how can it be defined? I travel a lot and this feature was very helpful in avoiding errors.

You have to enable Time Zone Support under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section at the bottom). If you enable the setting while you are in the middle of creating an event, you have to cancel and re-create it.
Now, when you create a new Calendar entry, it will have a Time Zone field under the End time setting.

Iphone 4s exchange calendar time zones

I have a user with an iphone 4s and the time zones are not matching up when entering calendar events into Outlook (synching via Exchange on the iphone). all events entered into the outlook calendar are set to eastern time zones and we are in st. louis (central time zone). However, our server is hosted in the eastern time zone. Now, our hosting provider has set the time zone of our server to the central time zone so that should take care of the server side. what other things can we check to determine why the wrong time zone is being set?

FOR CORRECT TIME ON CALENDAR:
Set both the time and your time zone on the Calendar Add Event page.
Set your time zone in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Time Zone Support.
Set your time zone in Settings>General>Date and Time.

IOS Calendar & Time Zone Choices

I use Time Zone Support on all my devices... Mac, iPhone and iPad. On the iOS devices, to change the calendar to a new time zone, I have to go to System Preferences/Mail, Contacts,Calendars/Time Zone Support and use the search field, going through the whole search proccess with a whole batch of International cities each time. Isn't there a way of having the obviously most used ones -- New York, Chicago, Denver, LA -- just stay there in the menu choice? Or better still, simply Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific. How 'bout "Add to Favorites..." Or something. This is in need of some real Apple usability. Or am I missing something?

When i sync my ipad and imac on ical the times are different yet the time zones are the same, any ideas why?

when i sync my ipad and imac on ical the times are different yet the time zones are the same, any ideas why?

Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

How do I sync my icloud calendar between iPhone 5 and macbook pro without a 1 hour difference? I've made sure that the time zones are the same on all devices and it's still doing it.

I cannot get my iphone 5 and macbook pro to display the same time on my calendar. There is a one hour difference between them and it is driving me crazy!! Please help!!!

Did you also confirm that the time zone was set correctly on icloud.com (click on your name, check Time Zone)?

Having fun sync'ing calendar between iPAD and iPhone; both time zones are set to Lond, UK, but events in calendars seem to move to Buenos Aires times? It is fun, I think, but how do I sync them both to London times? help!

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.

How do Mac OS X Calendar Time Zone Reset?

OK. I seach the problem in this site and google. but, trubleshoot is always iOS.
i want delete Calender in Mac OS.Check the Time Zone support, add other time zone.
i want reset time zone. i live korea, i want see only korean stadard time. how do mac os x caldender time zone reset?
Help, please.

I am just going to give you examples of what I think you want to do.
This just shows you a list of my calendars in my iCloud account. Note the "Hide" to the right of the "iCloud"? That only appears when you hover the mouse over it.
This shows what happens with you click on the "Hide".
Notice that I've unchecked "The Boys" calendar? That makes all of the events that are located under "The Boys" to disappear.
This just shows what happens with I re-check "The Boys", note "Joo's Medication" is now showing on June 1 at 12PM?
This just shows what happens when you click "Calendars" that is next to the "+" in the gray area.
So any of my examples what you are thinking of?

Exchange Server meetings in Russian time zones as well as names of time zones are incorrect after October 26, 2014

After October 26, 2014, Exchange Server users who are in Russian time zones may see meeting times incorrect Time Zone-display names may be outdated in OWA.
RU8 should release in middle of November of this year.
The RU8 update only updates the “Time Zone Name” http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3004235
Time zone display names in OWA will be outdated after October 26, 2014. Meeting times will be updated if you install the 2014 time zone update for Russia (KB 2998527)
for the Windows Server. Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2013 rely on Windows for time zone information.
The actual times will be correct in OWA as long as the Windows OS update is applied: http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2998527
Note:
There are multiple components involved this issue.Windows PC O/S update, Windows Server O/S update and Exchange server application update. We need to ensure all the below things are up-to date in-order for this functionality to work properly.
Windows PC - It should have the latest patch updated.There is no patch that needs to be rolled out for windows PC for this functionality to work.Just ensure that end users are in the latest available patch.
Windows Server- Ensure that the Windows server is latest update (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2998527)
Exchange Server patching- There is also an Outlook Web Access (OWA) related component to this involving the availability of the latest Russian time zone changes into the OWA display. Meetings will display correctly in the calendar,
it is more of a feature issue around time zone display names. Exchange Server SP3 RU8 will address this, and it will be released in middle November.

Thanks for the information and its very useful.

Setting ipad calendar / time zones help?

Hi,
We are new ipad users and are placing flight & hotel details in the ipad calendar for a once in a life time global 6 week trip.
The point of purchasing the ipad was so that we could contain the info in one device...the calendar appears to be the only spot for that (other than e mails).
I have been changing the time zone within the calendar days to suit the destination....and am very confused (not difficult!) about the results....
Is it okay to set the time zones in advance and while still in the UK or not?
Thanks

When I create event on my iPhone only this iPhone and Outlook has correct time. By the way, creating the event I am checking if time zone is correct.
My local time zone is Moscow (which is gmt +3) at the moment. When created event on my iPhone is shown at correct time but if editing it shows Denver time. Same event synced to the other iPhone is one hour ahead and showing GMT+3 in description.
Hope it makes although it is very strange behavior.

Notification time zone different than calendar time zone

On the iPad...
Notification of a calendar event is displayed in Eastern time zone while the calendar event is scheduled in Central time zone.
Notifications and Calendar are both set to automatic.
How does one get Notifications to display Calendar events as Central time zone?
The MacBook Pro displays both Notifications and Calendar events as Central time zone.

"srvctl setenv database -d fawms -t TZ=CST6CDT" but it didn't work. The DB. is taken the timezone CST5CDT."
As long as you set it the timezone that way - should be good -
Just remember though if you logged in as SYS - you will not see the timezone change from your command at the crs level

Vista Calendar time zone shift

Windows Vista, current updates
Nokia PC Suite 6.85.14.1
Phone is Nokia 6120c
Connected by USB
Vista is set to timezone (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
Phone is set to
Time Zone: Local time
Network operator time: Auto-update
Sync settings are
Contacts to Windows Contacts
Calendar to Windows Calendar
The problem:
A calendar item is entered on the phone. When it is synchronised to the computer, the appointment appears in Windows Calendar with a time 10 hours later.
A calendar item is entered on Windows Calendar. When it is synchronised to the phone, the phone shows it at the correct time.
After you synchronise a few times, a calendar appointment appears can appear multiple times with +10 hour, +20 hour etc.
What needs to be done to make the phone / Nokia PC Suite and Windows Calendar think they are using the same time zone, instead of shifting all phone calendar appointments by 10 hours when synchronising?

I have exactly the same problem. My N80 syncs OK with Mac OSX iCal but gets confused by Vista's calendar.
Changing the recurring items in Windows Calendar to have a time zone of "floating" seemed to help a little - they are now only 1 hour out instead of 10(or 11).
It seems that the experts in the northern hemisphere are not interested in this problem at this time of year. Maybe we should post the problem again in a few months.
