Timezone is off by 1 hour on somewebsites

If I visit certain sites with event information, the time is off by 1 hour (early) in Firefox only.
If I visit the same site with Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari, the time is correct.
How do I set the time zone in FireFox?

Yes, they all show the time the same. (on your link)
I asked a few friends to try those sites I mentioned and they all said the time was correct in FF.
I just upgraded one of the computers to latest version of Firefox and it now shows the time correctly on that website and others.
I have auto-update turned off, as it can be annoying if you are somewhere on slow wifi and it says "time remaining" for upgrade '18 hours' ...
Hope this fixes the 'crashing' as well, that version crashed at least once per day ... it was rather annoying ... and I tend to use FF more than other browsers. But it always recovered with all the tabs intact.
All 4 browsers are on 1 computer, all connected to internet same, no proxy servers or anonymizers, just straight forward.
So, it seems this is due to bug in version 23.0.1?
Browsers are different ... you can not use Chrome, IE or Safari on this page ... hit the Reply button and absolutely nothing happens ... no reply box. Strange that Mozilla site hates everyone but Firefox :-)
Thanks for your help!

TimeZone is off by one hour

Hi folks,
I use the TimeZone.getDefault() and TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles") to print the date string. They are both off by one hour and the timezone string is "GMT-08:00" intead of "PDT". The OS is Debian. When I type the date command, it shows "Tue Mar 29 17:56:18 PDT 2011" which is correct. What other settings can be wrong?
Thanks!

The problem must be from the default. The useDayLight is false. I am using Debian, where can I set the right defualt timezone for Java?
TimeZone.getDefault():
sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="GMT-08:00",offset=-28800000,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=0,lastRule=null]
03/30/2011 15:15:14 GMT-08:00
TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles"):
sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="America/Los_Angeles",offset=-28800000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=185,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Los_Angeles,offset=-28800000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=3,startMonth=2,startDay=8,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=7200000,startTimeMode=0,endMode=3,endMonth=10,endDay=1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=7200000,endTimeMode=0]]

IPhone 5 time off by one hour.

I just purchased a new Sprint iPhone 5 last week. This morning I woke up and the clock was off by exactly one hour. I tried turning the phone on and off and resetting it to no avail. Finally I went into settings > date & time and turned on and off the automatic time function and it fixed the problem for about 4 hours; however, just now it reverted to being incorrect. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? I'm running IOS 6.1.3 which I believe is the most current version.
Thanks!

It just now went off by an hour again, under the timezone field it says "etc/GMT+6" instead of chicago. I'm thinking this is probably a Sprint problem??

Daylight saving time off by 1 hour

Greetings.
There is a java aplication running on my windows XP professional client. It apparently uses one of the java functions to get the date from my client PC. The problem is that the time in the application is off by one hour.
I am in the eastern time zone with daylight savings time checked.
If I uncheck daylight savings time the application time is correct.
I am using the latest JRE which seems to include multiple version's of the java webstart which I can see in the registry.
Anybody come across this.
Over and out,

just use
java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
java.util.TimeZone tz = java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Berlin"); // adjust for your time zone
now.setTime(now.getTime() + tz.getDSTSavings());
and
new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss", java.util.Locale.GERMAN).format(now)
to obtain the formatted time as String.

Calculating Elapsed Time Is Off By One Hour

I am fully aware of many topics discussed in the various forums here related to the OS timezone and DST settings impacting how the JVM will process date/time calculations. I am running on Windows XP Professional, and I have checked and double checked the timezone setting, it is correctly set to Central Time and the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" checkbox is checked.
The code found at the end of this message clearly shows the problem for which I have yet to find an explination. I intended to be able to use a timer to update a string to show how much time has elapsed since the start of anything for which I need to know this information. As you can see by the results (example of which is listed after the code), the timezone and DST offsets seem to be properly retrieved by the JVM, but if this is the case, then why is the elapsed time value off by one hour?
I am looking for a solution/explanation involving the date/time classes, not a workaround whereby I end up extracting multiple time representation subsets and manipulating them myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Great. Now that we have gotten half way to the goal, please let me know how you intend to get that difference in miliseconds presented as a time value using any of the date/time classes Java has to offer. That way, I don't have to rewrite the code that puts it into a properly formatted String (the kind folks at Sun have already written that code). Using date/time classes to acheive this is what I attempted with my application. I added the milisecond adjustments for TZ and DST because if I didn't the reported elapsed time would be off by 6 hours, not just 1.
I am open to all suggestions.

Mythtv guide off by some hours

I'm using schdulesdirect for my listings
"date" returns the correct time and date
my timezone is set correctly in rc.conf as "America/New_York"
hardwareclock="localtime"
I have refreshed my database i think, i changed it to nothing and then changed it back and reran mythfilldatabase and it redownloaded everything.
"Your local timezone (for XMLTV)" is set to "Auto"
Yet, the program guide is off by 3 hours (interestingly it was off by 4 and a half when i first filled the database but was down to 3 before i tried to refresh the database.).
edit: forgot to mension that mythfrontend shows the correct time on the menu screen.
Last edited by czar (2008-08-21 02:02:56)

it's been a while since i messed with myth-config and i'm away from my computer.... but if i remember correctly there is a xmltv time offset option? i think? maybe? perhaps?.....
anyway check myth-config and maybe the command line arguments options for your xmltv grabber ( i dont use the one you mentioned )
good luck

[SOLVED] ntpd gives time off by +2 hours

I installed ntpd about a month ago, and it was working fine until this last week. Since then it has been giving times two hours ahead of what it should. My configuration is the same as on the wiki.
In an attempt to figure this out, I've tried changing timezones and have found that they all are +2 hours from what they should be.
Also, when I run ntptime, I receive a couple of errors:
$ ntptime
ntp_gettime() returns code 5 (ERROR)
time cfd37b6b.c1dc614c Mon, Jun 28 2010 13:50:03.757, (.757269810),
maximum error 16000000 us, estimated error 0 us
ntp_adjtime() returns code 5 (ERROR)
modes 0x0 (),
offset 0.000 us, frequency 9.072 ppm, interval 1 s,
maximum error 16000000 us, estimated error 0 us,
status 0x2041 (PLL,UNSYNC,NANO),
time constant 6, precision 0.001 us, tolerance 500 ppm,
Any ideas as to what's up?
Edit:
After thinking about it, it looks like ntp isn't connecting with the servers at all? as the ntp_gettime() returns an error. I'm going to try tinkering with the config file and see if that changes anything.
2nd Edit:
I've tried a number of changes in the config, and it hasn't made any difference. The time is still consistently off by +2 hours.

@Proofrific: You're awsome: it works!
@3]): Yep. As I stated before, I'd tried several timezones.
@gaunt: I haven't tried pinging the servers, but I have 7 of them in my ntp.conf. I can't imagine that they are all down. I tried the default config, as well as the one in the wiki with no success.
I think the problem with the ntptime might have to do with a kernel update. I'm still at a loss as to why ntpd didn't automatically sync, but I can live with that as I can set my time with ntpdate. I'll just remove ntpd from my daemons list for now. It's not a perfect solution but it's good enough for me, so I'm marking this thread as solved. Thanks for all the help!

1st ical sync with iphone...all events off by 2 hours

Why? All ical events got transferred to my iphone but the time is off by 2 hours...all iphone events are showing up 2 hours later than when I originally scheduled them in my iMac ical program (the ical events on my iMac are still displaying at the correct time)
Also, on my iphone, my 5 different ical calendars all synced, and all have a different color next to them, but the colors do not match the colors for the calendars created in ical on my iMac (ex: I created my dissertation calendar in red on my iMac but it shows up as orange on my iphone; I created my travel calendar in green on my iMac but it shows up as blue on my iphone, etc).
Does anyone know why this happened and how to correct?
Thanks!

Hey that worked! I was unaware of that setting on my iphone. Actually, I left time zone support turned on, but set the time zone for Denver (I'm on mountain time) instead of the Washington, DC zone it was set for.
As far as the colors being off, we'll see if anyone else comes along with an idea for that one. (Too bad there's no setting to turn on for "keep the calendar colors the same!")
In the meantime, THANKS!

Exchange / Google calendar entries off by one hour after DST

I noticed that all of my repeating entries from my Google calendar on my iPhone (synced with the Exchange "Google sync" method) were off by one hour, appearing one hour delayed, starting November 7th, 2010 and ending in March 2011 when DST starts again. After turning Time Zone Support off in the iPhone settings, everything fixed. However, this is unfortunate if it means I don't have the ability to shift my calendar when I travel. Anyone else experience this problem, or know of an actual fix (as opposed to this work-around)?

Woraround: Turn on time zone support in the mail calendar settings and choose your location. Downside is you have to change it if you are traveling. I thin apple should address this as a bug.

Timed Block off by 1 hour

I have just finished migrating my BM server (NetWare 6.5 SP7) from 3.8 to 3.9 SP1, and boy am I LOVING the switch from NWAdmin to iManager.
(Smell the sarcasm?)
Anyway, I am trying to reconfigure my timed block rules for the student user groups since the format/config whatever changed and 3.9 won't recognize the old rules.
Here's my problem: I set a rule to deny access for the HS_Students group to http://*.runescape.com*/ from 8:00AM to 3:00PM. It is currently 2:30PM, and the BM server's console TIME command reflects this. However, the student login is not blocked when accessing the URL. If I bump the timed block up to 8:00AM to 4:00PM, the site is blocked.
It appears that BorderManager thinks it is an hour later than it really is. Is this possible when the NetWare OS reports the correct time? Could it be some weird Daylight Saving issue? Do I just need to set the timed block entry to one hour later than it really is and forget about it?

Well, you can now edit BM configs from Linux, and also from the internet,
so there are some advantages...

Coould it be daylight savings time? I know the BM rules never did
reflect DST time before, meaning you had to change time settings in rules
twice a year. Perhaps 3.9 is actually honoring the time changes now in
some way, and throwing the old rules off by an hour unexpectedly?

If you have not changed your rule since DST started this year, you are
probably just seeing what has been there all along.

NHK schedule off by 1 hour?

Looks like someone goofed up the US time change.
HNK seems to be off by an hour making DVR series recording pretty worthless.
The correct schedule can be found at:
http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/tv/schedule/index.html
Not sure why Verizon has such a hard time getting thing right.

Don't hold your breath. According to some of my other contacts, FiOS is fully aware of the problem and just
can't seem to get it fixed. My guess is that it's probably incompetence at TV Guide (no wonder).
In the meantime we'll just have to sit and wonder why were paying monthly for a DVR
that doesn't know what's on when....
(Just out of geek curiousity can anyone explain the technical process of programming
information as it goes from content provider (in this case NHK) to my STB?)

Calendars off by 1 hour when syncing to iPhone

So just recently I noticed that the events that are being synced to my iPhone are off by one hour. All events appear fine on my computer and on mobile me. The events on my iPhone are off by one hour. Any ideas. I do have time zone support turned on as I am constantly traveling between different time zones, but I doubt that is the issue as it just started happening over the past week. I am thinking it has something to do with daylight savings time.

You really should use the search facility - there are dozens of posts on the subject and the broad conclusion is 'carrier confusion'. You almost certainly are not doing anything wrong, but the difference in interpretation between what is in which time zone etc seems to be causing it. Mostly in the US I should add as most other countries haven't shifted yet.

ICal meetings off by 1 hour when accepted in Mail since day light savings time

As off the hour adjustment when I accept a meeting using the Mail App they are off by one hour in Calendar. If I accept the meetings on my iPhone they populate properly. I have verified my time zone settings, and even have the time zone option enabled. Searching the forums I see this has been an ongoing issue, but I'm not finding an actual solution to resolve the issue.
Thanks for pointing me to the solution. I'm using a MacBook Pro with version 10.9.2 and Mail version 7.2 (1874) and Calendar version 7.0 (1841). There are no updates available when I check.
Thanks again!

Over the weekend my computer shut down due to battery running out, which I now know dumps all Mail accounts. Between this issue with the time zone and the loss of my Mail data I have switched to Outlook 2011. It has been a bit of a pain to re-setup a mail program but my meetings are now making it to my calendar correctly. Of course outlook and iCal don't play friendly either so I have to drag and drop to get things onto my calendar but at least I'm making it to my meetings at the appropriate times.
Mine time issues were with webex meetings. Thanks for confirming that it wasn't my system alone.

My iCal is off by 1 hour - same time zone setting

Help! I've been through numerous forum posts regarding iCal quirks and I can't find a solution to my problem.
I use MS Outlook at my work and sometimes, I send myself an appointment on my home account so I can see the same personal appointment on both calendars. Today, I set an event for tomorow morning 9AM on MS Outlook and I invited myself on my icloud.com account.
When I received the meeting invitation for 9AM, it shows that the originator (me) sent the invitation for 9AM in the time zone I was sending it from but on my iCal the time the meeting shows up is 8AM. It's off by 1 hour.
I've verified all my time settings in my computer and I can't find any setting that will move the time to the correct time.
The time zone where I'm sending the Outlook invitation is set to GMT-5:00 Eastern Time. I used the 'set time zone automatically' feature in the Mac System Prefs and the city next to where I'm located is automatically detected. The location is coming up within a confirmed time zone that is GMT-5:00 Eastern Time. The two calendars should match but they're off by 1 hour.
Any suggestions on what I might try to fix the problem?
