Recurring event times wrong by 1 hr only in iOS calendar

I just noticed that all my recurring events seemt to be one hour later in the Calendar app on my iPhone (iOS 5.1). In the iCloud calendar (on the web site) the times are correct.  I don't know if this happened right after the recent "spring forward" daylight savings time change, or right after the update to iOS 5.1.
All my other events are showing the correct time. Only the recurring events are shifted one hour to the future in the iOS calendar.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Any ideas for a fix?
(And, before you ask, my iPhone has the correct time zone setting and is configured to automatically set the time; and I haven't left my timezone in over two months.)

I found the problem. When the tasks were initially created, I did not have Time Zone Support turn on in iCloud (the website) or on my iPhone or in iCal on my Mac.  The events were all created over the winter, not during daylight savings time.
I turned on Time Zone support in iCloud, on my iPhone, and in iCal. That did not fix the problem. But I noticed that, in iCloud, when I turned on Time Zone support, the initial time zone it selected was "Central Standard Time".  But I'm now in Central Daylight Time; so I tried setting the time zone (using the little popup map widget is tricky!) and found I could also set the Time Zone to "Central Time" -- no 'daylight' or 'standard' distinction. So I set it to Central Time.
Still no joy.  But then, still in iCloud Calendar, I double clicked on one of the offending events and in the set of properties display was now a Time Zone property ... and it was still set to Central Standard Time.  So I went into each event that was at the wrong time and changed the time zone from Central Standard Time to Central Time.
My guess it that "Central Time" is a time zone designation that means it will automatically switch between standard time and daylight savings time.
So, everything is working again. Hope this helps someone.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

  • Calendar View: Unable filter Recurring Event by Start/End Time and Group by Recurring Event View

    Hi All,
    I have just found several issues with Calendar View from WSS 3.0:
    Unable to filter by [Start Time] and [End Time]
    I am not sure why these 2 columns doesn't appear in the Filtering column in the View Settings. The workaround found in the internet is to create calculated column for Start Time and and End Time. However, it doesn't work for Recurring Event, the calculated column will show only first recurring event Start Time.
    Unable to use "Group By"
    When I create new view in Calendar using format: "Standard View, with Expanding Recurring Events", there is no option to specify "Group By". Anyone knows how to show all recurring event in List view and grouped by Start Time (or any other column).
    Thank you and apprecate for any idea.

    Hello,
    I got this from a colleague of mine so I can't take credit for it but here might be a possible workaround:
    1. Create two new Columns called Start Filter and End Filter.  Make these columns Calculated Columns with formulas of [Start Time] and [End Time] respectively.  The columns should be of the Date and Time\Date and Time type and should not be displayed on the Default View.
    2. Click Advanced Settings and choose Yes to the question "Allow management of Content Types" in the Content Types section.  Click OK.
    3. Click on the Event Content Type.  Open the two columns created in step 1 and select "hidden" for both of them.  Click OK.
    4. Back at the list settings create a new view or edit an existing view.  When you get to the filter section choose "Show items only when the following is true" and select the following:
    Start Filter
    is less than or equal to
    [Today]
    And
    End Filter
    is greater than or equal to
    [Today]
    5. Click OK to save the view.
    6. Open the List view web part that is displaying the recently changed calendar and change the view to the newly created or newly edited view.  Click Apply, OK.

  • How do i get calendar syncing recurring events from outlook to iphone to handle daylight saving time

    When I sync recurring events of my PC Outlook on to the iPhone calendar they appear one hour later during summer i.e. between Mar 26th and October 27. I have a weekly thing every wednesday at 8pm that appears at 9pm in summer - so outlook seems to be sending the info in UTC time but the IPhone isn't compensating for summer time.

    What do you mean "correctly". If I enter a recurring (weekly) event in Outlook at say 8pm every Monday from February till December, then Outlook calendar propagates it at 8pm every Monday from February till December, and I can see it on each Monday regardless of whether it's standard time or summer time. However when I sync with the iPhone calendar through iTunes it transmits just the start date/time and end date, and the iPhone then recreates the series of events (provable because it creates occurences that I have deleted on Outlook). However it propagates the UTC time at the start date, and gets confused by the change to Summer Time in March (and Ocotber). The iphone "corrects" the (UTC) time for Summer Time so it starts at 8pm, all summer the event appears at 7pm, and goes back to 8 in November. I have tested across both boundaries - if a recurrence starts in summer time at 8pm then from November it gets an hour later, 9pm. And you can't solve it by turning off Local Time handling on the iPhone because then all individual events through the summer are an hour out. This is a bug.
    Workaround - enter separate recurrent events for each time period, so in a calendar year 3 events: Jan-end March, April-end October, Nov-Dec

  • Can I set a recurring event which falls on a specific day

    I would like to set events in my Calendar which fall on specific days of the Week or Month e.g. 2nd Monday of each month; or the last Friday on the month.  I would be obliged if anyone can advise on how this can be done.

    That feature does not exist in the built in calendar app. What you see in the settings for recurring events is what you get. There are other calendar apps available in the App Store. Check some of them out and you might find one that suits your needs better.
    Look at this one.

  • Declined Facebook Events Showing in iOS Calendar

    Hi
    Ive noticed recently that Facebook Events that Ive declined show up in the iOS Calendar on my iPhone 5. Ive went into Calendars and Show Declined Events is switched off.
    The strange thing is they don't show in iCal on my iMac which is also linked to my Facebook account.
    Any ideas how I can resolve this irritating issue?
    Thanks
    Baz

    I second this solution
    This was a long standing problem for me (even pre-ios7 maybe), it's a shame i've never come across a method so banal like this a perfect, easy way.
    Thanks a lot Timothy, now i can switch fb calendars back on.

  • When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed

    When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed with sync. 

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

  • Calendar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date.

    Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month.  How do I do this with the new operating system?

    Adding to Alan's answer:
    One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled. 
    If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this!  You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock.  You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter.  This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval.  You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
    Note:  the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st.  For your app, you should ignore it.

  • Recurring events off by 60 minutes after daylight saving time switch

    I searched but didn't find this exact issue anywhere. Following this past weekend's switch to Daylight Saving Time (DST), iCal recurring events have been shifted one hour later. It is a problem that I encountered with my own web calendaring application, wherein the offset between UTC and a given time zone changes with the coming and going of DST. I am curious why Apple has never instituted a fix for this, especially considering that the fix is so simple. All that must be done is detect whether the original datetime is in DST or not. If it is not, and the given recurrence is, then you must subtract 60 minutes from the recurrence's datetime. Similarly, if the originating datetime is in DST, and the given recurrence is not, then you must add 60 minutes to the recurrence's datetime.

    I have the same problem but much worse. Only 5 of my 18 recurring weekly events have shifted, so I didn't realize that anything was off until I missed one of my classes today. This seems weird....

  • IPhone 4 on ios 5 - recurring events show up multiple times

    I updated my iPhone 4 to ios 5, and ever since, recurring events are showing up multiple times on the same day.  When I sync, it seems that another copy is added to my iPhone's calendar (only one event is in iCal).  I originally had a custom event that repeated every Tuesday and Wednesday.  I tried to change this into two events - one for each day - and it still has the issue of multiple events on the same day.
    Notes I add to these events do not sync back to my computer, either.
    I have tried wiping the calendars from the phone and syncing with what is on my computer, but I continue to have the same problems.
    Any help/advice out there?  It's more of an annoyance than anything!

    At least one of them is only using the cellular data or wi-fi at the moment.  His computer is on the fritz and he has not been able to sync with itunes for a while because of it.  I am not sure about the other colleague as she is out fo the office at the moment.

  • Event time is wrong in ical

    I just upgraded my MacBook to OSX Mountain Lion, but noticed an event "time" in iCal was wrong when synced with my iPhone 3gs.  What's up??

    Check Date and Time prefs on your laptop. Is the time correct, and are both devices using the same time zone?

  • Calendar app in iOS can't set complex recurring events or arbitrary alert time.

    Dear Administrator,
    I find the Calendar app in iOS very limiting.  It should not be difficult for Apple to include features that allows arbitrary alert time (45min before the event) or complex recurring events (repeat every 4 months on the first Thursday of the month).  Do I miss something or Apple did not include these features in the system software.  It is really inconvenient.  Please help. 
    Sincerely yours,
    Zigang Pan

    The built-in calendar app does not support complex recurrances.  If you want to do that, you'll need to use a different calendar app, such as Fantistical 2 or Week Calendar.

    Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar?  Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
    All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
    It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
    Thanks again.

  • How to make "weekday only" recurring event?

    I am new user of the iPad and iPhone and noticed that I could not set recurring event to M-F only like my Blackberry had. Any recommendations from anyone?
    Thanks in advance for any direction.

    Two options:
    First, check what you can do in your desktop calendar application. I can create such events in iCal on my Mac and they sync correctly to the Calendar app on my iPad and on my iPhone.
    Second, the brute force approach. When all else fails you can create 5 separate repeating events, one each on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Not the best option by any means but it does work.
