New Time Zone

Hi All
my country, Venezuela, decided to change the time zone from UTC+4 to UTC+4:30, yes a half an Hour change
his is another of Chavez Ideas, but my problem is that I can not set this on the Preference panels of time zone,
I Have notice that other countries with specific time zones (australia, Iran, and some other with fraccional time zones) have been predefines in the control panes
Does anybody know how to include a NEW TIME ZONE or do I need to wait for Apple for an UPDATE
thanks
Claudio

I suspect you have to wait for the imperialists at apple to provide an update. Sorry. Compare to http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/tzdata_versions.html, though that isn't quite what you are looking for anyway.
Maybe you could speed things up by filing a bug report at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ (see the link at item #3).

N8 calendar times change when in new time zone

How do you stop the calendar times changing when you enter a new time zone? This is very frustrating, particularly when the calendar contains flight times etc which you have entered in the local time zone of place of departure. Then when you move into that time zone it automatically changes every calendar entry! Annoying! I realise I can deselect automatic time zones, but then I'm guessing when I do change the time zone manually to where I am (so that it shows the time of day, and I can set an alarm to wake me up, etc!!!) then the same thing will happen - all my calendar entries will change. Hope someone has worked it out already.

the times are stored on the phone in absolute time, lets call it gmt. they are then displayed on your handset in local time.
the times aren't actually changing as you change time zones. they are very much staying the same.
to achieve what you re after you are just going to have to enter the times in one of the text fields.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

8300 won't update when it arrives in new time zone

I have tried setting time source "network" and "Blackberry" but in either case, when I get to the new time zone the time on phone is from home local and does not update. On Date/Time page network time is displayed for all locations but on front screen time is not updated.

New time zone for Moscow

We need new settings for new Russian "always summer" timezone
how to get them?
And i am not sure but may be in this winter we cancel our "always summer" timezone and will be need undo our changes (i am not our giverment, but all things can happen (see Ukraine ))
Also we need changes for Mac OS X 10.4
Please help
Thank you

Hi, just read about this yesterday, didn't cross my mind that it would be a computer problem!
I doubt a fix will be coming for 10.5 at least, so I'm thinking you'll have to set a different time zone in the Time/Date pref pane.

New Time Zone Issue with MobileMe Calendar Upgrade

I'm having strange things happen with sending/receiving "invitations" to people in other time zones.
Prior to this MobileMe calendar upgrade, sending/receiving invitations worked fine. I would schedule an event (obviously in my time zone), and if I invite a friend in a different time zone, the event would show up on her Google Calendar at the proper time. Between iCal and Google Calendar, the time zone translation was working properly. Likewise, when she scheduled an event and sent me an invitation, the event showed up in iCal at the proper time for me.
But now, after simply upgrading MobileMe calendar, events from me to her show up at the wrong time! It's as if the time zone translation is no longer occurring. Oddly, events that she sends to me still work correctly.
I have "Turn on time zone support" enabled in iCal, MobileMe calendar, and on the iPhone.
So this very nice feature that was working previously seems to have broken with the MobileMe calendar upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this, or (hopefully) solved it?
Thanks!
Jim

...anyone?

My iPhone automaticly detects a new time zone, but updates the time wrong.

The time back home is 22.00, and the time here is 20.00. It detects the right time zone when I check in the settings, but my iPhone and iPad, my boyfriends iPhone and iPad all show 21.00 as the time. I have tried reseting it, but doesnt help. Any suggestions?

Do you have the iPhone set to adjust the Date & Time automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time? If you do and it's wrong, you'll want to contact your carrier because the automatic time is provided by them.
If that isn't it, this Apple doc might help -> iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time

JRE 1.3.0 and new time zone

I have a client that is using JRE1.3.0 on a UnixWare system. The version of UnixWare prohibits upgrading the JRE version. Will the TZupdater131 tool work on 1.3.0?

Hi
Same problem on a Winnt4 box.
I've tried to install an jdk1.3.0 or 1.2 after this troubleshooting, no effect. After the files copy, a Dr Watson Window appears with INS5176.MP.exe message.
If you have a solution .... Thanks.

How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
Sorry for the longish cry for help.
Thanks

How do I update all appointments to match changing time zones when I travel?

I have numerous appointments in my calendar. I also do a lot of travelling World Wide. As I arrive in a different time-zone I change the setting on my PC to match the current location. I understand that if I receive a new invitation to an appointment while in the new time-zone then this will appear in my calendar correctly at the current time-zone setting. However I had expected the calendar to update all existing appointments received and accepted from others, to the new time-zone but this does not happen. Is there a facility to make this occur?

Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > Calendar and adjust the timezone there.

Changing Time Zone (stsadm tzmove) = Error: Adding a value to a 'datetime' column caused an overflow

After updating timezone.xml и RGNLSTNG.xml files for my SharePoint 2010 (SP2 - 14.0.7015.1000)
I have to run this command to Update time zone on calendar events:
stsadm -o tzmove -name "russ2014" -update all
But this cause an error: Adding a value to a 'datetime' column caused an overflow
ULS log event: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Adding a value to a 'datetime' column caused an overflow. The statement has been terminated.
How to fix this?

Hi,
Whether you added new time zone definition to your timezone.xml
and RGNLSTNG.xml files. if not, please provide the details about what content you updated in timezone.xml and RGNLSTNG.xml files.
The stsadm.exe –o tzmove command does not work for new time zone definition changes.
This command is designed for making changes in the existing time zone,
not for creating a new time zone definition.
After you modify the Timezone.xml and Regnlstng.xml files to include the new time zone definition, you must restart Internet Information Services (IIS).
To do this, click Start, click Run, type
iisreset in the Open box, and then click
OK.
Try to do IIS restart, compare the results.

Application for multiple times zones?

I have a world edition and travel quite a bit. Anyone know of any application out there that allows one to schedule events in more than one time zone? What would be best is a program that allows me to enter something in my calendar that then allows me to select which time zone that event will occur in. Barring that perhaps there is a clock program that allows me to at least see three or more times simultaneously.

There is no software that I no of (RIM should take notice as it's a problem with the device itself).
I have faced the same problem and I can give you half a solution. What I do is enter the apointment based on the + or minus of the GMT schedule for the time zone I'm going to be in. Of course it will be incorrect in your present time zone. However, when you change the BB clock for the new time zone all your appointments will show up at the correct time.
Good Luck,

How to use time zone settings with calendar events ??

After looking through the questions on time zones and synchronization, I still cannot get my Palm Centro to operate the way I think it should.
I have a Verizon Centro, am using Windows XP with Outlook, and synching via the Hotsync manager 7.02 over a USB cable. I am not using Palm Desktop.
I am expecting events to shift time in the calendar when I change the time zone, but they do not.
I am preparing for a trip. I enter several test events into MS Outlook placing the events to occur in a different time zone into my calendar at the time the event would occur in my home time zone (NY). For example, a meeting from 9-10 AM in Los Angeles is put in my MS outlook calendar as 12-1 PM on the day of the meeting. Then I sync, with the time zone of my Centro and Outlook set for New York. The Centro is set to update Date, Time, Zone automatically from the network in New York. The meeting event appears as 12-1 PM on the correct day.
Then I turn off the Centro phone (ie disconnect from the Verizon network), change the time update to "Nothing" -- ie entirely manual, change the time zone to Los Angeles and set the time to the correct time in Los Angeles. I expect the meeting to shift to 9-10 AM in my Centro calendar, but it does not !!!!! I try other combinations -- Leave the time update on Date and Time automatic, and change the time zone to Los Angeles, etc. I think I tried all the combinations. Throughout, I leave the Centro phone off of the Verizon network. I cannot get the meeting to change its time in the new time zone.
What is the trick ??? What did I miss ??
You might ask why I am trying this with the phone turned off -- that is because I am really going much farther than LA, and into a GSM network where I will simply use the Centro as a PDA.
Any advice appreciated.

thepoeta --
Thanks for the response.
Indeed my preference was not set "new events use time zones".
Meanwhile, I had loaded all the applointments from Outlook, about 20 of them,
figuring I would just move them manually en route.
I will play with the time zone preference, but,
is there any way to identify the existing appointments in the
Palm as belonging to a different time zone, just using the Palm Centro ?
Thanks,
Neal

Location Services vs. Time Zone Settings

i am being given advice to turn OFF Settings > Date and Time > Time Zone Tab > "Set Time Zone Automatically using Current Location" - presumably so that when i travel all my events stay at the time that i set them to. for instance in the case of a return airline flight, so that the alerts will alert me at the correct time.
right now - i think - that if the Time Zone updates and i am traveling east (say from CST to EST) then the phone changes all my appointments in Calendar and they all show up an hour LATER than when i originally set them. this way i miss my flight.
however, i am not sure if there are consequences to this.
also, i can't tell if i should also change the Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Tab > and UNCHECK "Set Date and Time Automatically".
also, i am getting uber confused between the settings on my phone as compared to those on my MBP or on Calendar. Location Services i think is a iPhone specific setting whereas Calendar > Preferences > Advanced > "Turn on TIme Zone Support"
anyone licked this so that it all works?

hi braden.
i have tried this "empirically" a couple of times by traveling to another time zone but i was basically testing to see if i can get this to work. the first time i did this i did not get the alert that i set because something had gotten adjusted and the time of my event that i had set had gotten "pushed back" - i think basically due to the time change between CST and EST. this is a problem since when i travel it is helpful to have the alerts on my phone. right now i am having a hard time figuring out why it would not be the case - given the explanation in your tech articles - that this won't happen again if these settings are on. conversely, if i turn oen or both of them OFF - it is not clear to me what the consequences are.
there is such as thing as a "floating" event which is supposed to (i think) alert at any time zone at the time that you SET the event - so that it does not ADJUST based upon your traveling to a new time zone. however, there appears to be a lot of confusion as to whether this works and/or to what extent it has limitations.
for instance, is this a viable way to get calendar to work across time zones? i mean, the articles you helpfully post don't seem to address how this works from a practical perspective.
here are my settings.
MBP:
Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Tab > Set Date and Time Automatically (currently set to ON)
Settings > Date and Time > Time Zone > Set Time Zone Automatically Using Current Location (currently set to ON)
Calendar > Preferences > Advanced > Turn on Time Zone Support (currently CHECKED)
iPhone
Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically (currently set to ON with “Time Zone” showing as Chicago)
Settings > Mail, Contacts > Calendars > Time Zone Support (currently set to Houston)
Settings > Mail, Contacts > Calendars > Time Zone Support > Time Zone Support Slider (currently set to ON)
1. do i need to do anything special when setting an EVENT while i am in CST (for instance) but the event is going to happen while i am in EST? i mean, can i just set the event with these settings and leave it as CST?
2. do i need to MANUALLY adjust my iPhone and MBP - once i arrive in EST - to show up as CST in order to get the alert to go off at the correct time?
3. do i need to MANUALLY pull down an event to "FLOATING" any time this event will happen outside the time zone i am in?
4. are there any limitations to using a FLOATING event? i know one cannot set a floating event from the iPhone but if this works and this is the only limitation i can do this method.
5. i have heard some people resolve this issue by MANUALLY setting their time zone for their "home time zone" and they TURN OFF time zone support on all their devices so that the events happen at the correct time with no time zone adjustment. does anyone know if this method works? does anyone know if there are complications to such a move - for instance if i was to work in another continent for a period of time it seems like you would have to change your time zone and this would affect all previously entered events. but also i cannot figure out if doing this will let the TIME on my MBP and my iPhone read correctly since this is very important to me.
sorry to be posting on this but this is very difficult to test and threads such as there indicate there is a lot of ongoing confusion about this.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24163748#24163748
any thoughts? or perhaps there is someone that has travelled recently and has this down to a science?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

ICal events and time zone change

Has anyone scoped out what happens to iCal events when your MBP moves between time zones and automatically changes the date and time settings? In general, I'd like my calendar events to be fixed at the time in the time zone where they are supposed to occur, and not where the MBP is, but of course I'd like the MBP to be telling me the time where it actually is. I don't think iCal does it this way, but I'm not sure how it handles time differences. Anybody know?

In iCal preferences, there is a check box for "turn on time zone support." If you leave it unchecked, iCal will automatically adjust to your current time zone and move the events forward/back by the appropriate number of hours. If you check "turn on time zone support" a drop-down menu will appear at the upper right of the iCal page allowing you to select the time zone you wish to view. In this mode, iCal does not automatically move the events unless you select a new time zone manually. Does that make sense?
