Time Zone/calendar issues

I just moved from the East Coast to the West coast. I have traveled in the past and never had an issue with the time zones or my calendar appointments. But since I've moved, my calendar is all whacked out, giving me reminders at the wrong time for events. I just changed the time zone in my calendar (I asusmed it already did that when I reset the main systems time settings) and now my phone is off worse than before!! It's driving me crazy! Please help!

Hi there,
You may need to check the Time Zone Support settings on your devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

ICal time zone sync issue btwn macbook & iPhone

I've moved time zones and iCal insists on changing events to have a 3 hour difference! I'm trying to sync between my macbook (from 2008) and iphone (3G), to have the same timed events. Please help!

On your iPhone, drill down Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars and drop down to Calendars. My Time Zone was ON and set to an offset of GMT, I turned it OFF and my appointments are at the correct time on my iPhone.

Time Zone / Calendar

I have tried to use the timezone/calendar functionalities
to calculate my local time and the GMT time. This works perfectly well
on my 2 home machines, however, on the work machine the local time always comes back with the GMT time 9ie offset of zero. The windows time and zone is set correctly. Is there a reason why this happens ? The machine is networked and has mulitple userids defined for it. Is there something
special that needs to be done ? Where does java read the time from ?
Thanks in advance Br /David.

The class java.text.DateFormat (java.text.SimpleDateFormat) is recommended in this case. Try this.
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public final class ESTtoGMT{
public static void main(String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception{
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd G HH:mm:ss.SSS z");//pattern is arbitrarily chosen here
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(-5*60*60*1000,"EST"));//this requires DST (dailight saving time) adjustment manually
sdf.setCalendar(cal);
Date temptime = new Date(); // this part is independent from time zone
String formatted = sdf.format(temptime);
System.out.println(formatted);
cal = Calendar.getInstance(new SimpleTimeZone(0,"UTC"));// or "GMT"
sdf.setCalendar(cal);
formatted = sdf.format(temptime);
System.out.println(formatted);
}

Time and Calendar issue

On my BB Tour, I want to let the network set the local time while I am traveling but I do not want this choice to change all the times in my calendar. In essence I do not want the calendar to change but I do want my device to reflect local time for the clock and alarm features. This device is so wicked smart that I am sure this must be possible. How do I do that? Help!

Me too with the same problem. If I move to a different time period (say from Week to Day) after changing the displayed time zone, it does refresh.

IPhoto photo stream time zone/ duplicates issue

I've got a bunch of duplicate photos in my iPhoto library on my Macbook from both manually importing photos from iPhone when connected and from syncing via Photo Stream.
I've since disactivated Photo Stream, but still had duplicate photos on my computer.
I've merged all the albums called "October Photo Stream" with the other imports into one big list sorted by date.
The problem is, I was travelling quite a bit across different time zones, so they're not all really in order. It seems the Photo Stream copy of the photo (the one with the keyword attached) has the time and date as my "home" timezone, not as the "local" timezone as per the time where the photo was taken.
Is this by design?
I'd now like to remove all the duplicates and was thinking I'd just search for Photo Stream keyword, then select all those pics and delete.... the problem is I'm not sure which ones actually have duplicates as they don't all have duplicates! I really can't figure out how/why some exist as duplicates and others don't... perhaps something to do with when I was/wasn't near a wifi network (applicable while I was travelling but less so for pictures at home as my wifi is always on at home).
This photo stream "feature" is confusing as ****, and don't even get me started on the other iCloud services like docs... could they have designed it any more counter intuitive if they tried?
Any advice/ assistance appreciated.
Further, if I reactivate photo stream in future, how do I stop this behaviour from happening again?

I've noticed this same problem. I just got back from a trip overseas and the time on all my iPhone photos imported from the photo stream is wrong by two hours (the time difference). It seems a bit stupid to have the photos time stamped with your home time zone, and it means that when I imported the photos from my camera they're all out of order and I need to adjust the time on all the iPhoto photos. That's not particulary hard, it just seems unncessary. I hope someone form Apple notices this and fixes the problem.

Time Zones/Calendaring ActiveSync with Exchange 2010

Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can shed some light on this, or test it in their environment if they have something similar to see if they can reproduce.
What we are experiencing is:
A user creates a calendar appointment for lets say the 7th at 8AM UNTIL the 8th at 11AM (an appointment spanning more than 24 hours.)
The appointment then gets placed on the calendar for the 8th through the 9th, effectively shifting the appointment one whole day...
Any thoughts on this?

I've read of this issue before. I believe this is a "known" issue that can occur with Outlook, particularly when time changes are involved. I did a search on the Microsoft Knowledgebase on "All Day Appoitments' and the situation you describe as well as some potential fixes are described. One of the solutions Microsoft suggests is to verify that Outlook has the DST patch, but in addition to that they suggest NOT scheduling multi day events, just making two single day events, each from, say, 900am to 500pm or whatever. There is something weird about how multi day events are handled that causes the issue you describe to occur. But do a search on the knowledgebase on that topic and you'll get some other ideas. Hope this helps.

Project Online Time Zone Settings Issues

We just start use Project Online for our project management. We set the SharePoint Online > Site Settings >
Regional Settings to "(UTC +08:00) Kuala Lumpur, Singapore" and we are confirm that our host located either in Singapore or Hong Kong. However, we found that the date and time display in the check-out/in
project message, in the PDP-Workflow Status page, task submission, and the Administration Settings that has time references are different with our timezone.
We sent Service Request to Microsoft Support and we been advised to wait for the next version of Project Online. To avoid the confuse happen to our Project Team, we have to set the Regional Settings back to "(UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US and
Canada)". However, this is 16 hours different
in our region!
We all know that time is very important in a project management and reporting. We have >30 on-going projects in the Project Online and some of them are estimate to take years to complete.
Therefore, anybody faced this issue and appreciate it if you could give us any advice or sharing any workaround here. Thank you in advance.

Hi Paul,
Is the timezone mismatch only present in the checkout/check-in notification displayed on the PDPs?
Thanks,
Roland
Hi Roland,
I noticed it happen in:-
"Entry Date" and "Completion Date" for PDP - WorkflowStageStatus in the All Workflow Stage list. (if you are using Enterprise Project)
Check-out/Check-in notification displayed in PDP - Schedule, and some columns' datetime value in the Schedule.
Synchronization date and time that displayed in PWA Settings - Manage User Sync Settings. (if you are using Project Permission Mode)
Task Submission date and time.

Cannot completely turn off time zone support in the iPhone calendar

In iOS7 it was possible in settings to turn off time zone support in the calendar. (This is not the same as having the date and time of the phone automatically change to current time zone which is generally what one wants and is not affected by calendar time zone support.) The problem in iOS8 is that Time Zone Override is not the same as Time Zone on/off. Here is an an example.
1) you live in Chicago and central time is your "home" time zone.
2) you find out about a meeting in New York at 1:00pm next week. You want to add the meeting to your calendar. If you add it at 1:00pm, when you arrive in New York (and change time zones), it will change the meeting time to 2:00pm.
Time Zone Override does not turn off the time zone calendar support. It provides two different views (time in current time zone and time in home tine zone). But time zones are irrelevant when I am scheduling an event at a known time. (Time Zone Override ON seems to work only if you are out of your home time zone and schedule something in your home time zone. But this is almost never what I encounter since I am usually at home, and need to schedule an event outside my home time zone.)

It would seem that way. But with "time zone support" on, you'll simply view your events "as if" you were in a certain time zone.
Example: I create an event in California for 6pm. ( A "California event") If I turn "time zone support" on, and select my time zone as Los Angeles, nothing changes. But if I select Oklahoma city, the time WILL change to 8pm, because it assumes I need to view a "California event" in Central Time.
"Time Zone Support" was created for people that have phone conferences in different time zones. The feature allows one standard time to be used in the calendar, and anyone outside the time zone can use "time zone support" to read it in thier respective time zone.
I'm saying this feature is trying to complicatedly simplify the calendar. I can use the organ between my ears to assume the correct time zone. And having to dig into my preferences in order to view my events correctly is completely insane.
All I want is to create an event, set an alarm, and not have to EVER worry about it changing.
I assumed that turning "time zone support" off would accomplish this as it did in the past. But the calendar STILL REMEMBERS WHERE AN EVENT WAS CREATED. So if the time zone ever changes, it will try to view the event according to the time zone you are currently in.
iCloud does the same thing. When you set your time zone on iCloud, it will view an event according to THAT time zone. If you are in Central time and create an event, your iCloud calendar better be set to Central time or else there will be a descrepancy between your phone calendar and your iCloud calendar.
I just want to turn off "time zone support" COMPLETELY.

Time zone adjust..

I recently moved from Chicago to Columbus and I can't get the timezone to switch to Eastern. I can do it manually, but if I click "Set time zone automatically using current location" it switches me back to Chicago time (Central). Why would there be trouble establishing my current location? I have a very faint memory of setting my home city as Chicago when I bought this Mac over 2 years ago, but I can't find it in System Preferences. The issue isn't that I don't want to manually change the time zone, the issue is that this Mac thinks it's in Chicago for some reason. Any ideas would be welcome here.

That's because your router is listed in the database used by Location Services as located in Chicago. Eventually the database will be updated. Until then, set the time zone manually. Since you have a Mac Pro, it won't be moving around much.

Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
First example.
I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
Second example.
I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

I am having a similar problem: invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in: I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST). My settings have my time zone set correctly.
Any help much appreciated.
PS: Using iPad original wit iOS5

Calendar Event Invites - Time Zone Issue

Hi all!
I just switched back to BlackBerry from iPhone, and love everything about it so far except one thing: time zone issues on calendar invites.
My work uses an OS X hosted CalDAV server, and I was able to sync my existing calendars to it without issue.
My time zone: Eastern
My coworkers timezone: Central
The Issue: I received an invite from a coworker, and on my Mac, it shows at 1PM Eastern, as it should. The invite was sent for 12PM Central. This same invite appears on my BlackBerry at 7AM Eastern.
Testing completed:
I added an invite on my BlackBerry for 6AM Eastern as a test, and it appeared on my Mac at the correct time without issue.
I added an event on another day from my Mac, and it synced to my BlackBerry without issue.
So it seems that my issue only exists when recieving event invites from others, possibly in different time zones.
My Mac and BlackBerry are both set to Eastern time.
My coworkers Mac and iPhone are set for Central time.
I looked all through the BB settings and cannot find anything that would account for this odd behavior.
I tried a battery pull - same results.
I am on the latest OS available for a Q10: 10.2.1.2976
Can anyone help with this? I would hate to have to go back to iOS for one issue like this, however, an accurate and reliable calendar is critical to my work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this, for a test.
Set your Q10 to GMT Timezone.
Open the calendar, your invtes should be ~5 hours ahead.
Set your TZ back to Eastern.
Check your specific event mentioned above which was at 7am Eastern.
Is it correct now?

HT4623 iOS 8 version 8.1.2 issues with the calendar displaying wrong TIME ZONE!

I just updated to iOS 8 using version 8.1.2 and am having issues with the calendar. I use my GMAIL calendar and sync to my iPhone and now any calendar entries that I add from my phone display the current time zone AND GMT time. Entries that were already there display correctly. New entries entered from the GMAIL calendar also display correctly. The issue is with NEW entries entered on my PHONE into the calendar. This is very annoying and causes problems for new entries that need EDITED. Once opened to edit it defaults to GMT time! WRONG!! I have turned off the automatic time zone feature and Time Zone Override in Settings but it's still WRONG! There are multiple reports of this online so I would like to know when/if it will be corrected or if there is a fix! Please help!!

Quite the same problem here, GMT, UTC.......
Why when they do an update they don't check it completely???

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
Matthias

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.

New Time Zone Issue with MobileMe Calendar Upgrade

I'm having strange things happen with sending/receiving "invitations" to people in other time zones.
Prior to this MobileMe calendar upgrade, sending/receiving invitations worked fine. I would schedule an event (obviously in my time zone), and if I invite a friend in a different time zone, the event would show up on her Google Calendar at the proper time. Between iCal and Google Calendar, the time zone translation was working properly. Likewise, when she scheduled an event and sent me an invitation, the event showed up in iCal at the proper time for me.
But now, after simply upgrading MobileMe calendar, events from me to her show up at the wrong time! It's as if the time zone translation is no longer occurring. Oddly, events that she sends to me still work correctly.
I have "Turn on time zone support" enabled in iCal, MobileMe calendar, and on the iPhone.
So this very nice feature that was working previously seems to have broken with the MobileMe calendar upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this, or (hopefully) solved it?
Thanks!
Jim

...anyone?
