Time/Date issues with iCal/Mail

For some reason, the time in Mail is always 9:00 a.m. (if it's the a.m) or 9:00 p.m (if it's the p.m) ever since I bought the mac. So if I receive an email at 11:54 a.m., it will say 9:00 a.m..
For iCal, all events are placed in the same fashion (9AM or 9PM), but in the details in the New Event window, it will say TH:00 a.m. (when the day is Thursday) for the time instead of 11:54 a.m. for example.
Has anyone ever seen this craziness before? (once again, it has been like this since I bought the mac)
MacBook1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have almost the same problem. The dates are correct, but the time is 9:29 am for all mail, ical events, and for all file times in the finder. There are some other problems as well, like in ical, week view, there are not times displayed on the left, but rather "Sat" before "AM" or "PM," and "Noon" is correct.

Time Zone issues with iCal 2.0.3?

I've been using iCal for a while now, and haven't had any problems until just recently. For some reason, meeting notices sent to me from Outlook (Windows XP) now appear in iCal with times for Africa (I am based in Arizona, and the people sending me the invitations are also based in the same office in Arizona). I have Time Zone Support turned ON in iCal, and the times on the PCs are set for the proper time zone as well.
The other problem is that when I reply to the invitation, Mail sends the acceptance like before. The sender receives this acceptance as an email (with my time zone being in Africa instead of Arizona), but Outlook no longer registers/updates the response.
Is anyone else out there having these issues? I have all of my Apple software up-to-date. Thanks.

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I went ahead and turned time zone support OFF. I still get the meeting invitations which are off by 7 hours, but when I accept the invitation, it shows the correct time for Arizona but still has Africa in parentheses after it. It is only a workaround, but at least I know what the correct time of the meeting should be. Does Apple know that this latest release of iCal is seriously flawed, and are they going to do anything to fix this problem?
It is frustrating because iCal used to work flawlessly with Outlook up until recently, and nothing has changed on my end.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

Has anyone with sprint have time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turning itself off?

has anyone with sprint had time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turn itself off?

Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

OS X 10.10.1 Apple Mail reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers

Apple Mail(8.1) reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers on my iMac and Laptop Pro with the new Yosemite update! Spent 1.5hrs with the virgin team (thought we solved it by changing from Auto to one minute update) only to find on return I still have an issue with Mail! On the iMac the account opens and I see all the mail arriving. When I switch over and the back, days of recent mail have disappeared?
If I search for one I saw, It is found?
On the Laptop Pro, its similar, but it also has a problem remembering the outgoing port no matter how often I save it keeps going back to port 143 and this makes the send fail each time?
Will I have to move to another mail client or is their a fix coming?

The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3 & there won't be any updates/upgrades.
You might try the freeware mail app Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ It's newer than Mail for Tiger.

Time Zone issue with 7.0 and DB2

Hi,
We are having a time zone issue with weblogic server 7.0 and DB2 database. I would really appreciate if somebody provides a solution for this issue.
Our db2 DB is located in PST time zone and weblogic server is located in EST time zone.
When we access current timestamp from db2, we are getting PST time converted to EST and EST time zone attached with timestamp value.
I tried to use resultset.getTimeStamp (1,<calendar>), unfortunately this method is not supported in the DB2 driver version I am using.
We want to get same value as returned by db2 with db2 time zone not weblogic server time zone.
And also when we add new record with timestamp column through web service, regardless the time zone value sent by web service client ".Net" ,
Weblogic server converts the java.util.Date value to weblogic time zone and stores in the db.
For example, client sent 17:00 hours CST, but when it gets stored in db through weblogic ws, weblogic converts 17:00 to 18:00 EST and stores in database as 18:00 hours without any time zone. When we read this value back, we are getting it 18:00 EST only not 17:00 CST.
This is fine as long as writing and reading by same weblogic server. If another weblogic server instance in PST time zone read this value, it takes as 18:00 PST.
Due to this our application always shows timestamp hours differently.
Could some body help me to fix this problem, we are getting this problem in production after we moved our DB2 location to different time zone.
Thanks

TS3899 Has anyone else had issues with the mail app after downloading the 6.1.2 update on their iphone 5?

After downloading the 6.1.2 update on my iphone 5, the mail app won't even open, nor will the mail settings in the settings section. Has any one else had this problem, if so is there a way to fix it?

I've updated two iPhone 3GS to iOS6.1.2. Both no longer work with Hotmail. Tried deleting account followed by a reset. Both still stuck trying to verify account for about 5mins before failing to verify account information. Giving up at this point as I cannot bill Apple for the hours spent so far trying to fix this. Lately I'm spending more and more time resolving issues with Apple software iOS and OSX ML. Apple's reputation is falling rapidly. Such a pity.
Moved to Safari trying to log in over a web browser. That failed as well. Cleared the cache and cookies followed by a reset. Enabled accept cookies to Always and then was able to log in to hotmail and see emails through Safari.
I realise that 3GS is relatively older technology but iOS 6 has not been good to this platform. Everything runs slower than before and there are bugs I'm seeing that are not in the public domain. It's not a hardware fault as my wife's phone is behaving the same way. She's not too pleased either IMHO.
These issues are not happening on Ipad after applying the same update.

Having issues with Yahoo mail on ios4 on a 3GS

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo mail on their 3GS after the upgrade to ios4?? Keep getting an imap server error, but gmail works fine.

Same problem. I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts. One stopped sending mail, while the other was fine. (Both could receive, however.) To solve that, I deleted the problematic account from the phone and reinstalled it. It worked... until I synced by iPhone with iTunes. Now both Yahoo! Mail accounts will not work, and deleting them and reinstalling them does nothing.
Apple had better fix this. (Or I'll whine louder.)

I have Calendar v 7.0 and Entourage 12.3.6 2008 on OS X 10.9.2. I cannot import Entourage events into Calendar - this was never an issue with iCal. Whats happened and how can I import details into Calendar or do I need iCal back?

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

Sync issues with iCal/MobileMe/Google

Seems like I've come across something rather sticky....
History
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 3G. For the first few months of having the phone, syncing worked like a charm... no complaints. I then decided that I needed to get my Appointments etc up online for my colleagues to view as I travel out of the office so went into my Google account and activated the calendar feature, adding GoogleMail as a new calendar in iCal. No problems so far.
Things seemed to work fine for a little while. A few weeks later (or long enough that I didn't see any correlation), my iPhone sync reverted back to an earlier state of my iCal calendars, including deleting a couple of new calendars I'd added in the meantime. Nothing was affected on my laptop btw. Google had gone completely berko as well. So basically no new additions in iCal were turning up on my phone.
I then thought, hey I'll try out MobileMe and see if that solves things. Answer = nope. After setting up the account on the iPhone, this old "ghost" calendar decided that it would also sync to MobileMe as well as the iPhone. When I added new things online or on the iPhone, they would both update each other, but never iCal on the laptop.
So I'm sitting here today pretty much over it, trawling the net for answers. I come across a post that says to simply delete the following folder: user/library/calendar - btw i did backup before i did this!
I do this, empty trash, then reopen iCal. Blank Canvas!
And then, after about 20 secs, the old "ghost" calendars pop up out of nowhere, with everything intact from about 2 months ago. I turn off airport, disconnect ethernet and repeat the process. Same thing happens... so somewhere on my laptop is a buried file that is finding it's way into iCal, and also overwriting all sync data just for iCal. Address Book and Mail seem to be doing just fine with MobileMe.
The reason I guess why I think it's Google interfering (wouldn't be the first time) is that it's the odd one out when the "ghost" returns... I would've thought that deleting the Calendars folder would wipe everything out, but I'm sure when I went through the original GoogleMail thingy, it would've buried something somewhere at the time.
So any help would be greatly appreciated. It really is driving me absolutely batty!!
Cheers

And it looks like I've just answered my own question!!
Just found this post online, followed all the steps, rebooted, sign out then signed back in to MobileMe, re-registered the laptop and Bob's-your-uncle.
So if anyone needs help, just follow these easy steps....
The report shows that you have some data corruption. You should be able to resolve this by resetting Sync Services:
* Open iSync (in /Applications)
* Go to preferences
* Click Reset Sync History
* Try syncing again
If that fails to resolve the issue, try replacing the database:
* If you haven't done so lately, make a backup of your iCal calendars (iCal File menu > Back up iCal)
* Quit out of all open programs
* Make sure that nothing is syncing (Spanning Sync, .Mac, iSync)
* Move these two folders to the trash:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices (~ refers to your home directory)
~Library/Application Support/iSync/SyncLocalCopy (~ refers to your home directory)
* Restart
* Open iCal and give it a few minutes to write out the new database
Please let us know if that doesn't address the problem or you have other questions.
That didn't work in my case, so I ran another report (contained within the Spanning Sync Application) and sent it to them a second time. What they suggested next fixed the problem for me.
I'm still seeing the same errors in the new report. Lets try clearing your calendar cache:
* Quit out of iCal if it's open
* Delete this file:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Delete the contents of this folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Open iCal
* Wait at least five minutes until after it finishes "Upgrading Calendars"
* Sync!

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

Callmanager, Unity Issue with Voice Mail

Hello Guys,
I am currently facing an issue with a Callmanager <-> Unity integration.
The situation is the following one:
All user own a voice mail box. User A forwarded its phone to his voice mailbox. User B forwarded its phone to User A.
If now User C calls User B, he gets forwarded to User A , of course. But if user A does not take the call, User C hears the voice mailbox from User B.
I would like to have for a special situation that User C hears the voice mailbox of User A.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Hi there,
You can have a look into this setting which is available in Unity Connection 7.x ;
Via
Cisco Unity Connection Administration
Advanced (towards the bottom of the page)
Conversation Configuration
**Use Last (Rather than First) Redirecting Number for Routing Incoming Call**
You would need to think about what impact this might have on your setup, but it does allow
for users to Forward to their personal VM at times and the Helpdesk mesage when necessary
Hope this helps!
