Solving an Outlook sync time mismatch problem on iPhone calendar

I was recently in spain and my time automatically updated. I was using automatic time zone correction in Settings/General/Date & Time with "set automatically" and under calendar "time zone support" was "ON".
However, upon returning home, apparently, that "auto time zone" didn't work properly. My time updated properly, and everything else was fine, but upon my next sync, all of my appointments were 4 hours off. (my trip to Spain had a 6 hour difference... so it wasn't exactly that).
By going into Settings/General/Date and searching for a city in my time zone, and selecting it, my calendar items' time was corrected.

Based on your response it sounds like this particular featureset is a bit more capable and complex than I'd originally hoped.
I didn't recall choosing any city while in Spain, as the time on the phone updated on its own, and I hadn't started sync'ing the calendar with Outlook yet at that point.
When I returned home, I did my first calendar sync, and again hadn't chosen any city upon return, then after choosing a local city, the time corrected.
Everything is working fine now (as it wasn't posted as a question) but this is a discussion I hadn't found on here and thought it was a worthwhile discussion to have since I surely can't be the only person whose run into the misunderstanding in functionality.

Problem Syncing Outlook....says outlook sync client encountered problem

I have been syncing outlook calendar and contacts from my PC to my iPhone with no problems. I have version 1.1.2 on my iPhone and 7.5 or whatever the latest is on iTunes software. The syncs were fine until recently and now I cant sync and get an error message that says "outlook sync client encountered problem" What could possibly have happened....I read some posts that say to go back to iTunes 7.3 etc....this has to be a common problem....any suggestions.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Curve 8520 not syncing OK with OUTLOOK 2007 - Time Zone problems

I have a BB Curve 8520 with OS 5.0.0.136
BB Desktop Manager is Version 7.1.0.33
Desktop PC OS is WINDOWS 7
MS Office OUTLOOK 2007
Time for W7 set to automatic internet update
Time zone for W7/Outlook2007: (-3) Buenos Aires
Time for BB 8520 set to MANUAL (same time as W7 set manually - No network time update)
Manually set BB Time Zone: (-3) Buenos Aires (No auto time zone update)
I do not travel anywhere where I may need automatic time zone change.
The Desktop is set not to sync time from BB with the Desktop PC time.
I set up an appointment in OUTLOOK 2007 at 08:00 hs. When I sync calendar (biderectionally) with the BB, the appointment in BB appears one hour late => 09:00 hs.
If I set an appointment in BB (say 09:00) and sync calendar, it appears in OUTLOOK 2007 one hour ahead (08:00)
If I set BB Time Zone to (-4) Santiago, then both appointment times are the same.
Any clue as to how to solve this strange behavior will be most welcome!
With BB AND DESKTOP PC times equal, and both BB AND DESKTOP PC Time Zone set to the same (say (-3) Buenos Aires), appointment times should be the same in the BB and the Desktop PC.

Morning.
Let's try this. Read through this thread. You probably have a corrupt record somewhere in your calendar.

Synced times in ical between iphone and Macbook not the same

I have tried syncing my ical to my iphone using itunes and the times on my iphone are not the same as my ical. for example 1.30 pm for an appointment in my ical reads as 4.00am and the next day on my iphone calendar. How do I fix this?

Are both the iPhone and your Mac set to the same (local) time zone? Do you have Time Zone support turned on in iCal Preferences and in iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar?

Any help would be much appreciated!
Edit: the iPhone calendar works perfect with my MobileMe account, but I want it on Gmail as well ( if not both is possible I would prefer Gmail )

I tryed to add my gmail account to the microsoft exchange as it says in on of the links above, but the only thing that happend was that i got all of the email contact on gmail addon on my iPhone, which was really annoying since i cant call an email adress.
Anothing thing I would like to add is that i also would like to sync my contacts to Gmail.
I am fully aware that I have MobileMe, but I would like to have it synced to Gmail because thats what I use each day and I have 2-step-authentication.

How to escalate Time Zone bug in iPhone Calendar to Apple?

Hi, does anyone know how to escalate a bug in the iPhone calendar software to Apple?
Time Zone support on the iphone which causes calendar items created in location "Kuwait" to be saved as "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time", which means that they arrive one hour out of sync in iCal.
To replicate the problem:
1. Turn on time zone support in both the iPhone and iCal
2. Set the location to Kuwait on both
3. Create an item in the calendar on the iphone
4. Allow it to sync over Mobile Me
5. See that it turns up 1 hour out in iCal
6. Open the event in iCal and notice that it is set to "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time"
The workaround is to turn the time zone on the iPhone to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which apparently is correctly matched to "Arabian Standard Time"
Thanks

ICal calendar sync -time change problem

It's happened again. We change our clocks and when I connect my iPod mini to my iBook it syncs the calendars BUT it moves the time of every event up one hour. My 9 a.m. appointments are now 10 a.m. and so on. I've tried changing the default time zone in iCal, changing event times. Nothing helps.

I've had the same problem with a few iPods...
Solution:
Connect the iPod, go into preferences in iTunes for the iPod and UNCHECK the sync calendars option
Next, open the iPod in the Finder, TRASH the entire calendars folder, Empty the Trash....
Now, go back to iTunes and REcheck the option to sync calendars. iTunes will replace the calendar files on the iPod with the correct times.
I have NEVER had to reenter all of the repeating events using this method. Takes about 2 minutes.

Outlook sync works, but can't select calendar

Hi all.

I do have two separate calendars set up in Outlook.. anyone have any idea how to get around this?
Thanks.

I upgraded yesterday and still no workie. I'm on the phone with iPhone support at the moment. I'll let you know if we come up with anything.

Since Time Change, iCal and iPhone Calendar Time Are All Messed Up

Ever since the most recent daylight-savings time change, I noticed all events I created in iCal, when synced with my iPhone, became an hour off. If I edit the event on the iPhone, it stays the correct time on my iPhone, but when it syncs with iCal again, the time on iCal goes off by another hour, even though the time for the event on the iPhone stays correct. (Hopefully that makes sense) Has anyone else experienced this problem? It is incredibly annoying, because now I have no trust in any of my calendar entries as to what the correct time is.
As an example: I created an event for Sunday the 16th on iCal on my Mac for a 1-hour soccer game from 8:00PM - 9:00PM. When I synced my iPhone, I noticed a few days later that the event on my iPhone now said the event was from 9:00PM - 10:00PM...one hour off! I edited the event on my iPhone, and re-synced. Now my iPhone has the correct time (which I manually edited on the phone) but iCal now says the event goes from 7:00PM - 8:00PM. Again, an hour off, but in the reverse direction (an hour off early, rather than late). When I sync now, even though the times on the iPhone and the times on iCal don't match, they do not change...it's as if either the computer or the phone didn't recognize daylight savings time or something, and thinks it has the correct time for the event. Both my Mac and my iPhone's clocks do display the correct time and date, however, so it's not like the system clock is off. It is completely bizarre, and I entered my entire teams schedule this way, so ALL games were off, and now is completely screwed up. Please help.

Yes, I did. I posted an identical post in the iPhone forum since no one answered here. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1791145&tstart=0
The first reply solved the problem. It involved the Time Zone setting in iCal Advanced preferences for me.

ITunes 7.7.1 Outlook Sync solution?

I just did an Mac software update and noticed itunes 7.7.1 download. Has anyone with Win XP found it and if so does it solve the Outlook Sync Client failure problem with iPhone 2.0?

Bezüglicher der Synchronisation mit der neuen Version 7.7.1 von iTunes stelle ich folgendes fest:
- Normale Kalendereinträge werden in beiden Richtungen korrekt synchronisiert.
- Bestehende wiederkehrende Erreignisse (z.Bsp. Geburtstage) im Outlook werden immer noch um eine Stunde verschoben synchronisiert. Somit unbrauchbar.
- Wiederkehrende Erreignisse die auf dem iPhone erstellt werden, werden korrekt synchronisiert.
- Bestehende Kontaktelemente aus dem Outlook haben teilweise (wahrscheinlich während der Sommerzeit - CEST) einen um einen Tag verschobenen Geburtstag auf dem iPhone. Ebenfalls sehr unbefriedigend.
The relative synchronisation with the new version 7.7.1 of iTunes I determine the following:
- Normal calendar entries are correctly synchronized in both directions.
- Existences recurring Erreignisse (e.g. frame of birthdays) in the Outlook are still synchronized around one hour shifted. Thus uselessly.
- Recurring Erreignisse on that the iPhone to be provided, is correctly synchronized.
- Existing contact contacts from the Outlook have partly (probably during the summer time - CEST) around one day a shifted birthday on that iPhone. Likewise very unsatisfactorily.
