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.

  • When I try to set the automatic time zone on my iPad in Settings all I get is the "waiting" wheel constantly turning.    The only way to set the time is in the manual mode.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Thanks!

    You must be connected to a good wifi network for it to reach an outside time server.

  • 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.

  • Setting a specific time zone for start/end times?

    I tend to travel in clusters, and was frustrated on this current trip when all of my flight times were adjusted by 3 hours on my iPhone and iPad after landing in Florida from California.  But they weren't "corrected" to the appropriate local times on any of the flights... which, of course, means that all of my alerts are at the wrong time!
    Is there a way to specify which time zone an event occurs in?  i.e., start time is PST, end time is EST
    (I can see how to turn off automatic time zone changes, but that won't help me until I get home)
    Thanks!

    In Mac OS X Lion, it's iCal > Preferences > Advanced > check Turn on Timezone Support
    In iOS 5, it's Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > TIme Zone Support > on
    The start and end time are in the same zone (and that's the zone associated with the event), but iCal automatically adjusts the entry to local time in the daily and related views.  There isn't a way to have a unique timezone for the start- and the end-time in a single event.

  • 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?

  • How to set a specific time zone for time channel in DIADEM

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to autmatically set a specific time zone for time channels in DIADEM.
    For example, I have stored data with corresponding time channel in UTC time on a disk which was collected in another time zone. Now I want to analyze this data and I want the time channel to show the local time in the time zone where the data was collected, and not the time in the local time zone where the computer is located.
    The time channel should also take site local summer/winter time into account. Now I'm running a script that handles it for me which adds or subtract hours according to my input. The problem is that I'm handling data from several different time zones and I'm not located in any of them and when you're running a lot of data over a greater time period, it's easy to make mistakes, especially when it comes to summer/winter time. Is there a any clever solution to this already implemented in Diadem that I have not found? 

    Hi hj77,
    No, I'm sorry, DIAdem has no time zone functionality at all.  I'm afraid you have no choice in DIAdem but to keep running your scripts.  Summer and Winter time are truly tricky, because the rules for when the changes occur are different in different countries and states within countries and also can change from year to year within the SAME country (as they did in the US a few years ago).

    Hey THS1973,
    To turn on Home Sharing on the devices, you'll want to check out the steps in here:

  • 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.

  • Calendar time zones messed up...

    Since updating to iOS8 I am having major issues with time zones in my calendars.
    I have set Time Zone Override to off on both my devices (So all events should display according to the time zone of my current location)
    I have various accounts set up on both my iphone and iPad; I'll use my exchange account as an example of my problem:
    When I enter a new calendar entry on my iPad it all looks fine (Eg a 1 hour appointment from 12:00 midday on Friday)
    When I then view the same entry in my iphone, it shows it as 13:00 to 14:00 CEST. If i go to edit it on my phone, it shows the time zone as set to Berlin!
    I have the exact same issue the other way round if I enter an appointment on my phone; when I view it on my iPad it shows the time zone as CEST Berlin...
    My shared (family calendar) is equally messed up...
    *** is happening please someone; it's driving me mad...

  • How can I set an alarm clock set to a time zone?

    Hi,
    I am about to go traveling quite a bit in multiple time zones. However, I have to take medication every 24 hours. I use the iPhone alarm to set a time. Is there a way I can adjust it so it goes off whenever it is, say 10pm in US eastern time zone even if I'm in another time zone and my iphone clock is local time?
    thanks!

    Hi, ralphsen01-
    You can do this using window.scrollTo():

    Please note that when you embed an Animate OAM into Muse, you're in effect putting it into an iframe.  Therefore, you need to call the parent window.  You can get more information on this by searching for "iframe to parent communication" in a search engine.
    Hope this helps,

  • 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.

  • TS4337 In trying to set up a time zone in iCal, when pressing "other" i only get options of cities in California, or Ensenada in Mexico. Iwanted to set up a meeting in Washington D.C. but could not find the option.

    Hi Mina.
    Mail doesn’t support Exchange accounts directly, but rather accesses them as IMAP accounts. According to Mail Help’s “Setting up your email accounts” article:
