Times changing in iCal

I have input my work schedule in iCal and set it to repeat. When I work I always start at 7am, but as I scan through the year, the start time reads 7am some times, but also has patches of weeks that read 6am and 8am. Why? I have the time zone assist turned off in my prefs (but have also tried it on).

Hey Jack,
Try going to Apple > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync > and remove the check mark from "Calendars" in this list.  The new MobileMe calendar syncs directly to iCal.  There is no need to have a check in the sync tab of MobileMe.  See if that helps.

  • 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.

  • How change 'home' time-zone in ical?

    Hi
    Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
    I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
    I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
    But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
    I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
    guidance welcomed
    ross

    In the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
    If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
    Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

  • ICal on iPad no reflecting daylight savings time change correctly

    i have my iCal on my iPad to auto update with daylight savings, however, the start times are all ok, but the end times do not reflect the time change. am i missing something?

    I fixed this problem by going to system preferences--mail, calendars--and turned off time zone support. When my iPhone didn't change time for daylight savings, i had changed the time manually and apparently this moved my time zone from SF to Anchorage. After disabling time zone support, all my appointments were correct. You can also disable tim zone support withon the iCal application on a mac.

  • Changing the default Repeat Times list in iCal Alarms?

    Has anyone ever figured out a way to change the default "repeat times" list on iCal Alarms?
    [img]http://img.skitch.com/20091129-xe9qr7yt94d8e6bq5pp3nya574.jpg[/img]
    I'd love to add a few to iCal's current offerings, like "4 hours" "8 hours" etc.

    Dear Rich
    Welcome to Apple Forums,
    I'm not sure about either of these but it used to be that you could rook the finder into opening in which ever view you wanted by double clicking on your hard drive icon on your desk top changing it to the view you want and then resizing it slightly. If you then close it and reopen it it should open to list view again. Again i'm not sure that this still works but its better than nothing. Also there is a free program called Cocktail that might do it for you( i have an old version and there for the newer version might have it when might doesn't). I hope one of these two ideas works out for you.

  • ICal times changed with change from Daylight savings time

    My times on iCal on my G5 are correct. I transferred them to my iPod through iTunes. But when I changed the time from Daylight savings time Sat, my times on my iPod's iCal all moved an hour earlier. However, an event that I added today has the correct time. Besides having my iPod clock set for the wrong time, how do I correct the times in my iCal?

    I now have a follow-up problem. Almost everything is right in my iPod calendar as I deleted and then manually added repeated events for Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun. into my G5 iCal. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are correct in the iPod. However, my Tuesdays show both my Monday AND Tuesday events. Have you run into that problem?

  • 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.

  • ICal and iCloud Calendar Appointments Problems Following Daylight Savings Time Change

    This morning following the daylight savings time change, I noticed that some but not all of my appointments had shifted forward an hour. Strangely enough, some are correct on the iCloud calendar but are still not correct in iCal. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Here's another anomaly: the info panel is showing the correct time while the calendar view is not! I have turned off time zone support in both iCal and the iCloud calendar. It's so frustrating when you rely on these tools--especially for appointments--and you find that you can't trust them to be accurate!

    samdale67,
    Have you had any luck fixing this problem yet?
    I just noticed today that my iCloud calendar is consistently one hour behind my iPhone4s calendar. It's as if my iCloud calendar never got the Daylight Savings Time Spring Forward message. The iPhone, on the other hand, updated to DST right on schedule. It's annoying because I'm starting to use my iCloud calendar and would like the time change to be applied.

  • ICal Web Publishing Error, UK time change

    We publish booking availability for our village hall via ical onto the hall's website.
    During October 2010 the " We're Sorry" Apple error message was encountered and put down to problems associated with the UK summer/winter time change.
    The problem then disappeared for some weeks - the calendar published to the web site without a hitch.
    Now it has re-occurred.
    Have Apple made a decision to remove the web publishing feature or is it just another technical hitch?

    Hey Christos,
    I'm not sure if that is possible  with the plugin, but I will double check. If you are just looking to do some basic monitoring and control, using a web service might be better suited in this case, since it is lighter and can serve actual web pages instead of relying on a plugin. Feel free to check out our Web development community group, try some of the examples, and post to our discussions: https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/web-services

  • Ical after time change

    After this time change on Sunday, Mac set the time correctly and everything, but iCal shifted everything an hour back (i.e. an event for 8:30 is now scheduled for 7:30). I was able to fix it easily enough, but it was frustrating and wondering if there was anyway to prevent it next time. Also, since that Sunday, iSync deleted everything off of my phone's calendar and now won't sync at all. They could be unrelated, but it seems unlikely. Any advice?

    Hi
    I am having the same problem except I cannot fix it. All my appointments on my phone are the correct time but all my appointments on iCal are an hour earlier. I tried synching them using isync and it said it was changing over 5% of things in iCal but there is no difference .
    How do I sort this out as it is really annoying. is this an iCal bug?

  • ICal - affected by time changes / international travel !!!

    Hi,
    Recently, while abroad with my Mac's clock set to a different time, I loaded iCal with lecture, seminar, personal, and work times, dates, etc.
    I just realised some of the times were wrong and spent ages correcting them. Then I noticed loads more of them were wrong. I realise that this was because I reset my clock??
    Very, very annoying!!!
    How do I avoid this next time or fix the problem now?
    Half my times are correct and half are wrong....
    Is this a common problem?
    Thanks

    If you are running RPTIME as a btach job, schedule the job to clear the PDC date on IT0003, just before RPTIME starts. You can customize the IT0003 update program to say that if the PDC date is before Sept '09, clear it, because you don't want the date to be reset for everyone, even it is after Sept '09.
    Not allowing PDC date to set by changing the Infotype attributes will result in incorrect data.
    For instance: In your case, you don't want to go back before September, but let's say there is a change in IT2001 in November which forces RPTIME to go back to October. If you set the attributes such that PDC date should not be set, your RPTIME will not pick up the updates made to IT2001. Hence when RPCALC runs, it will result in incorrect data.

  • HOw do I fix the fact that ical jumped (almost) all my events post daylight savings time change an hour ahead?

    A few weeks ago I noticed that everything past 3/8 was an hour ahead, and I assumed once daylight savings time changed it would all jump back. It hasn't, and I don't know how to continue scheduling events or if I should change them all.  I read that (a few years ago) the suggestion was give it 24 hours to adjust??

    I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
    Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
    Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
    This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

  • Default time frame for ICAL events

    Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the default time frame for ICal events has been set to "entire day".  Is there any way to change this?

    Hi,
    If you add a time to the event description, like "meeting  11am tomorrow", it should create an event (with the title "meeting" on tomorrows date at 11am with a duration of 1 hour.
    Best wishes

  • All Event times change with Daylight Savings time

    With the time change associated with daylight savings time (March 8 2008) all my event times were changed by one hour. EG: events that were 8:45 am are now 7:45 am. I have tried using Time machine to restore to pre March 8 status,but an adjustment takes place and the events remain 1 hour ahead. I have looked through the discussions pages and don't even see the issue identified. I have looked through the menu and preference items and find nothing to help.
    I am surprised not to find this a front page topic today, March 9 2008.
    Can anyone offer some help ?
    Bill Mullen

    Michael,
    I never have changed time zones. Are you suggesting I should have time zone support enabled ?
    I just tried turning on Time Zone Support, then restoring my calendar using Time machine. No change here.
    As I mentioned earlier, this same problem occurred in the fall (although I don't remember which way the event times moved), this time they moved forward. At the Fall change I was using a Mac G4, which I used as a target to build this machine. The only thing I can think of that makes me unique (although I'm not in that small of a group) is that I have altered one of the files in iSync to allow iSync to sync calendar events with iCal. The syncing has always worked OK.
    Right now I'm leary of attempting to do anything with iSync. I'm also finding it difficult to believe I'm not one of 10,000 people experiencing the same problem, but I don't see any other posts.
    I found a time zone in south america which returns my times to the correct figure, with time zone support enabled, but that looks like a deeper hole to dig out of.
    Still stuck,
    Bill

  • I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal.  Except I don't know where these are coming from or why.   I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically.  Any Clues?  Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!
