Synchronization messes up time zones and scrambles calendar

Hi, my problem is I live in Venezuela, and 6 months ago, Venezuela modified its time zone to GMT-04:30. Microsoft already has honored this change, and created a new time zone with that offset.
Apparently, RIM hasn't. So I use the standard GMT-04:00 in my Pearl and set it not to synchronize time with any server.
But when I try to synchronize with outlook, it apparently works fine, but the pearl changed zone to some strange GMT -10 african zone, and each entry in the calendar is Physicaly moved to the new time, obviously messing up my calendar.
How do I Approach RIM in order for them to create the revised time zone for Venezuela ??
Any other Ideas ?

Do what I did - turn off time synch on the desktop, and just configure the phone to synch with the network.  It's likely that your phone network has the proper time and date.

  • 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,

  • HT4576 "Time Zone Support" in Calendars should be renamed to "Override Time Zone Support"

    So, I live on the East coast and notice, while on a trip just outside Cupertino, that my iPhone Calendar wasn't updating to the the local time, even though my iPhone had correctly updated to PST.
    Finally, at the end of my trip, oh so nigh to Cupertino, I find out that my Calendar's erroneous display of time was due to the "Time Zone Support" configuration option.
    This is a GROSS misnomer.
    iOS requires the specification of a timezone - else the time would be set arbitrarily and would waste the time (NTP) service provided by the cellular provider.
    Thus, the "Time Zone Support" option under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" should be relabeled to "Override Time Zone Support" AND the ability to assign an event to a time zone should always be available (though defaulting to the current time zone - unless a 'Default Time Zone' configuration option is added).

    The behavior you are seeing is actually inherent in most calendar apps -- the deal is that you are telling your calendar when something happens, not what time.  Our company writes a calendaring+task management app for iPhone called Pocket Informant - we get this same question on occassion, so I wrote up a Knowledge Base article discussing some details (keep in mind - this article discusses some features specific to our app that you won't find in iCal/Calendar on MacOS X):
    http://webis.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/123/0/why-do-the-times-change -on-my-appointments-when-i-travel-to-a-different-time-zone
    In iCal/Calendar on MacOS X, when you turn on Time Zone support, you then get to choose the time zone that you are entering your appointment for.  This helps you not have to do the "time zone math" in your head.  Thus, if you are in CST and want to set up an appointment for 6pm PST, you can choose PST in the event editor as you enter 6pm.  Note that while you are in CST, your event will display in your calendar at "CST time" (8pm), but when you fly out to PST, it will show the "correct" PST time. 
    While iCal/Calendar supports "floating time zones", I personally would caution against using them for everything (I mentioned a few reasons why in the above kbase article).  Use those for events that truly are "time driven" rather than "point in time" driven (such as "I want to go jogging every morning at 5am no matter what time zone I'm in). 
    Hope that helps some!

  • How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

    I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
    I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
    Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • Changing time zones and synching

    I have changed time zones and all the information in my palm is now messed up, having switched to match the current time zone. How do I change this without doing each one individually? I will also need to do this again when I go back to my former time zone.
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: Zire

    I understand why it did it - I just need to know if there is a way to fix it so I don't have to deal with dates/times being messed up for three months. The difference in time zones is 10 hours, so it changes things drastically - not only by a few hours. Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks.

  • Why do I have two time zones in my calendar?

    With a recent move to a new time zone I now have two time zone in my calendar.  My area code is in a central time zone but have moved to the east coast.
    I have checked my icloud calendar, iPhone settings and each is set to eastern time.

    Hi beachbouy,
    If you need to change the time zone for your calendars in iCloud, use the steps in this article -

  • 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

  • Multiple time zones for one calendar entry

    I'm running iCal on Lion 10.7.4 , as well as the Calendar app on iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and my iPad. When traveling, I sometimes have a starting time in one time zone and an ending time in another. (When flying from NY to CA, for example.) Is there some way I can have two time zones within a given event for cases such as this? I've turned on Time Zone support in iCal, but that only allows me to set a one-off time zone for an entire event.
    Microsoft Outlook on a Windows machine allows for this; is there any way for me to do it on my Mac, iPhone, or iPad?

    Hi,
    You could set the event, then change the timezone to the destination one and then set the end time. When you switch timezones the start and end times should change in iCal (unless the event is set to floating).

  • Can external users change their language, time zone, and locale settings?

    Hi,
    We’re migrating our hosts from WebEx cloud to our on-prem solution right now (CWMS 1.5.1.323.A).
    We’ve learned that CWMS 1.5 does not provide an online address book where hosts could customize language, time zone, and locale settings for their external attendees.
    Do external users have any chance at all to change their language, time zone and locale settings individually?
    Thank you,
    Helge

    Hi Dejan,
    "external users" are those participants, who do not have an LDAP account in our deployment, since they are not intendet to act as hosts: our stakeholders, partners, customers, clients.
    It looks, as if these people would stick to the systems' default language / time zone / locale.
    We are wondering if there might be a CWMS-component like this:
    https://artcom.webex.com/cmp0307l/webcomponents/widget/preference.do?serviceType=MC&siteurl=artcom&target=Page&backUrl=%2Fmw0307l%2Fmywebex%2Fdefault.do%3Fsiteurl%3Dartcom%26service%3D1
    to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
    Thank you,

  • Time Zone and WLS6SP1 and date time problem

    Hi,
    We are having our development WebLogic server on a Solaris 2.8 machine. The time
    zone of that machine is GMT+5
    How ever when we start weblogic in the telnet console, we see this
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.......
    <Jul 5, 2001 1:19:46 AM GMT-05:00> <Info> <Security> <Getting boot password from
    user.>
    Enter password to boot WebLogic server:
    It shows the time as GMT-5.
    All our application client machines are at GMT+5.30.So when we update from our
    application, the datetime fields go as one day lesser(we have our own serializable
    component which does the updating). If i enter Dec 10 2000 in our applet client
    and try updating, it goes as Dec 9 2000 into the database.
    We tried on a NT machine which had GMT+5.30 as the time zone and it showed GMT+5.30
    while starting weblogic. And the dates are updated properly.
    Does WLS on Solaris take the timezone,etc from some other place?
    Is there any workaround for this?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Ramkumar

    We had the same thing using ReflectionX to connect. Users connection with Telnet
    caused weblogic to log with the default timezone ( which included the effects of
    daylight savings time ), while those users who connected with Rexec caused weblogic
    to use GMT in its logging. This was with weblogic 6.0 sp2

    was grabbing the users timezone info off of his/her local windows box.
    is this what is happening for you?

  • Traveling across time zones and calendar events

    I am going to Europe and want to know if I put my flights into my iOS calendar now using European local flight time will my calendar adjust for the time zone when I am there? I live in MST. In other words if I enter a 4:00PM FLIGHT now in MST, when I am in Rome will my calendar event still say 4:00 PM?

    I believe the the calendar entry will change unless you go to settings> mail, contacts,calendars> Time zone override> on. I'm going to ask the hosts to move your question to the Using iPhone Forum. I'm sure someone will know for sure over there.

  • With Time Zone Support on Calendar no longer automatically adjust to the local timezone.

    Apples support forums are riddled with Discussions about problems with being able to dicate a specific time zone for appointments. Many of these postings, as well as their corresponding solutions, are unnecessarily lenghtly when the root cause of all of this is a one very simple mistake by Apple. Right now to be able to assign a specifc timezone for an appointment using the Calendar app on the iPhone you have to have "Time Zone Support" turned on in Settings. The problem is that when you turn on this feature the Calendar app stops automatically updating the calendar to reflect the local time zone you are in. These are simply two seperate items that have no reason to be tied together. Apple could easily correct almost all of the issues people are having with this topic if it simply split this into two seperate options that users can turn on/off seprately:
    1.) Enter time zone for each appointment. YES/NO
    2.) Adjust Calendar to the local timezone. YES/NO
    It is virturally incomprehensible that Apple has not fixed this. It was clearly a mistake.

    I have this problem too and am frustrated - it's not solving no matter what i do. And now Siri is totally bonkers too on this new software update - can't even pull from my contacts when I ask her to look someone up. What the heck is going on at Apple software? Have they been hiring a bunch of arrogant, crap programmers? I am seriously thinking of not buying an iPhone again after having one for 5 years. So disappointed!!

  • ICal ignores time zone in published calendar

    I'm trying to make a an online calendar that is automatically generated using events from a database.
    All events are in the Dutch time zone, so I added a time zone component to the .ics file. When I try to subscribe to the calendar in iCal everything works fine, except for the fact that the time zone information seems to be ignored and all events are displayed 2 hours too late because they are set to UTC/GMT.
    This is an example of the generated .ics file:

    mm, that doesn't sound so comfortable. I'll stay with the time counting.

  • Russia Time Zone - Outlook Meetings/Calendar issue

    Hello all,
    we are having issues with meeting requests in our our russian office since the last change to winter time in october.
    We patched all clients with KB2998527 and are running Exchange 2010 SP3u5.
    Meetings between the person setting up the Meeting and the resource calendar are still offset by an hour in Outlook 2010.
    Do we need to deploy KB2998527 to our Exchange Servers only or do we need to deploy CU7 when it gets available as well?
    Unfortunately, the information in the Exchange TechNet Blog in not very precise.
    Thank you!
    Best regards

    Hi,
    Three factors affect the scheduling of a meeting in Microsoft Outlook:
    The clock setting (time) of the computer.
    The local time zone setting of the computer.
    The daylight saving time adjustment setting of the computer.
    All three factors must be set correctly on both the meeting organizer's computer and on each attendee's computer to ensure meetings display at the correct times.
    Refer from
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/troubleshoot-time-zones-HP001022309.aspx
    Although this troubleshoot applies to Outlook 2003, we can also check these in Outlook 2010 for reference.
    Hope this will be helpful for you.
