Traveling to another Time Zone

I did a quick search here, but still a little unsure as to what to do, as there may be an issue with iCal.
I have a weeks worth of calendar events setup here in Eastern Time Zone for next week. I will be in MT time zone next week with my iPhone. Do I change the time zone in iCal before I leave or do I turn Time zone support off on the phone?
Thanks for any advice.

I have next weeks calendar events set up in iCal for my time zone here (Eastern) at the time of day that they are supposed to occur.
For the time of day the events are supposed to occur in the Eastern time zone, or when the events are supposed to occur while you will be in the Mountain time zone?
If you don't change anything with iCal, leaving Time Zone Support off on your iPhone, events will display according to the time zone of your current location.
If Time Zone Support is on with your iPhone, Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars.
So it depends on the time you want the events to be shown on your iPhone - Eastern Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone.

How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel

How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel. The same is true when I am traveling and in another time zone, how do I best set up my events so they are in the correct time slot upon my return?

Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

How to enter events that will occur in another time zone?

I want to enter an event in another time zone so when in that time zone the correct time is displayed on my iCal.

Hey twc2629,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to change the time zone of an event. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

ICal ichanges the time of the events with another time zone when sync

I've changed my time zone in my iphone during a trip and when I came back, I reset my actual time zone, then, I syncronized it with my lap and they show different times for the same event.
Events added directly in my iphone stay the same in it, but appear in another time in my computer, even though I have verified both of them have the same time zone.
Events added directly on my lap stay the same in it but appear wrong in my iphone.
Thanks,

Invite from Lotus Traveler shows wrong time zone

Question: why is the time zone always showing as Hawaii on calendar entries sent using Lotus Traveler and which I accept on my iPad?
Here are the facts:
1. I am an iCloud user (on my personal iPad and Mac)
2. I access work emails/calendar on my work iPad using Lotus Traveler
3. I send an invite from my work calendar on my work iPad and accept the invite into an iCloud caldendar on my personal iPad.
Result: Invite shows correctly on my calendar on my personal iPad but when I open Calendar on my Mac, the invite will ALWAYS shows as "Hawaii" timezone.
I've tried all combinations of timezone support on/off etc. The problem also does not present itself if I accept the invite from Calendar on my Mac.
I've taken alook at the .ics file that is origanlly sent and the TZID is "GMT +10" format as opposed to "Australia/Sydney". If I look at the .ics file on my Mac, it as "Hawaii" as the TZID.
Do anyone have any ideas?
There are a few posts of similar issues from a few years ago, but the issue seems to have been resolved in previous OS versions.

I don't have an anwer to the previous in this thread but I believe a related question. I recently received two invites to meetings from a Lotus Notes v6 user. Each repeated weekly on a Tuesday for 10 weeks and one meeting followed the other. The first posted to iCal perfectly. The second posted a meeting on the Tuesday in the first week at the correct time. The first repeat however posted 24 hours later (not a week later) and then repeat weekly but on the Wednesday (not Tuesday) but at the correct time.
I have examined the ics script of both meetings. The only difference appears to be that the meeting that posted correctly had DTSTART and DTEND both on the same date (in Universal Time) where as the one that incorrectly posted the repeats the meetings spanned midnight in Universal Time. Are there any patches or ways to fix this. Can I edit the script and then re-post it to iCal so as to "trick" iCal into placing this on the correct day?
I have copied the header script for the meeting that behave correctly below:

Calendar app stuck on another time zone.

I left Nigeria for Kansas, U.S. that's 6 hours behind so I changed the time settings on my phone to KS time zone but the Calendar app on my 3GS doesn't seem to understand that. When I create an event for, say, 8 PM today (to be notified at that time), I get a notification at 2 PM today—6 hours before the intended time. It's like Calendar thinks I'm still in Nigeria. I've been all over Settings and I can't figure it out.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

There is more than one place to change time. If you set the time to local, you need to go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>scroll down to the bottom under calendar and set the time zone support there for the local time zone.

Count up clock based in another time zone

I've made a count-up clock. However, I'm trying to get it to
work off another timezone and am having a few problems.
Below is the code I've been working with. I need the clock to
display 12 hours ahead and am unsure as to how to do this. Also,
when it reaches a certain date in the future, I need it to then
play another section off the timeline and stop.
Please, any insight is very appreciated!!

I can not find a way to add 12 to the clock but you just take
12 off the date and time, this is my counter and it's my birthday
14 sept so I set it 12 hours early

How to covernt a date/time to another time zone?

The current system (Unix) is what I'm running programs on.
When I get the current date and time it is in GMT time.
I tried to create a new Calendar and specify TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST") then use the getTime() function to get my Date, but that still displaed it in GMT time.

java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar have no real concept of Timezone, they only know about GMT. They store the number of ms since January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT. When you display a value you use a Timezone to work out how the time should be calculated.
For example -
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class Test20041116
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Date now = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat local = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss z");
        System.out.println("Local time (Here) = " + local.format(now));
        local.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST"));
        System.out.println("Local time (EST) = " + local.format(now));
        local.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("PST"));
        System.out.println("Local time (PST) = " + local.format(now));
}

Location Services vs. Time Zone Settings

i am being given advice to turn OFF Settings > Date and Time > Time Zone Tab > "Set Time Zone Automatically using Current Location" - presumably so that when i travel all my events stay at the time that i set them to. for instance in the case of a return airline flight, so that the alerts will alert me at the correct time.
right now - i think - that if the Time Zone updates and i am traveling east (say from CST to EST) then the phone changes all my appointments in Calendar and they all show up an hour LATER than when i originally set them. this way i miss my flight.
however, i am not sure if there are consequences to this.
also, i can't tell if i should also change the Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Tab > and UNCHECK "Set Date and Time Automatically".
also, i am getting uber confused between the settings on my phone as compared to those on my MBP or on Calendar. Location Services i think is a iPhone specific setting whereas Calendar > Preferences > Advanced > "Turn on TIme Zone Support"
anyone licked this so that it all works?

hi braden.
i have tried this "empirically" a couple of times by traveling to another time zone but i was basically testing to see if i can get this to work. the first time i did this i did not get the alert that i set because something had gotten adjusted and the time of my event that i had set had gotten "pushed back" - i think basically due to the time change between CST and EST. this is a problem since when i travel it is helpful to have the alerts on my phone. right now i am having a hard time figuring out why it would not be the case - given the explanation in your tech articles - that this won't happen again if these settings are on. conversely, if i turn oen or both of them OFF - it is not clear to me what the consequences are.
there is such as thing as a "floating" event which is supposed to (i think) alert at any time zone at the time that you SET the event - so that it does not ADJUST based upon your traveling to a new time zone. however, there appears to be a lot of confusion as to whether this works and/or to what extent it has limitations.
for instance, is this a viable way to get calendar to work across time zones? i mean, the articles you helpfully post don't seem to address how this works from a practical perspective.
here are my settings.
MBP:
Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Tab > Set Date and Time Automatically (currently set to ON)
Settings > Date and Time > Time Zone > Set Time Zone Automatically Using Current Location (currently set to ON)
Calendar > Preferences > Advanced > Turn on Time Zone Support (currently CHECKED)
iPhone
Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically (currently set to ON with “Time Zone” showing as Chicago)
Settings > Mail, Contacts > Calendars > Time Zone Support (currently set to Houston)
Settings > Mail, Contacts > Calendars > Time Zone Support > Time Zone Support Slider (currently set to ON)
1. do i need to do anything special when setting an EVENT while i am in CST (for instance) but the event is going to happen while i am in EST? i mean, can i just set the event with these settings and leave it as CST?
2. do i need to MANUALLY adjust my iPhone and MBP - once i arrive in EST - to show up as CST in order to get the alert to go off at the correct time?
3. do i need to MANUALLY pull down an event to "FLOATING" any time this event will happen outside the time zone i am in?
4. are there any limitations to using a FLOATING event? i know one cannot set a floating event from the iPhone but if this works and this is the only limitation i can do this method.
5. i have heard some people resolve this issue by MANUALLY setting their time zone for their "home time zone" and they TURN OFF time zone support on all their devices so that the events happen at the correct time with no time zone adjustment. does anyone know if this method works? does anyone know if there are complications to such a move - for instance if i was to work in another continent for a period of time it seems like you would have to change your time zone and this would affect all previously entered events. but also i cannot figure out if doing this will let the TIME on my MBP and my iPhone read correctly since this is very important to me.
sorry to be posting on this but this is very difficult to test and threads such as there indicate there is a lot of ongoing confusion about this.

any thoughts? or perhaps there is someone that has travelled recently and has this down to a science?

E51 calendar time zone

When I travel to another time zone my E51 changes time for all appointments in the calendar. Quite annoying and as far as I can see there is no way to turn this useless "feature" off. Any ideas?

I presume this is the same issue as with Microsoft Outlook - appointments are kept in "absolute" time, and displayed in local time.
What I do with my PDA to get round this is NOT to change the time zone setting, but just change the clock.
The E-51 has an option to get the correct time from the GSM network - if you disable this, the time on the phone stays at your home time, and so should the calender.
This has the side benefit that I don't have to remember what time it is at home.
Alternatively, change the time on the phone manually....

Effect of time zone change on scheduled appointment times

I have had a Palm Treo 650 for three years. It had its shortcomings, but the calendar was well-designed. I could be in the Pacific time zone and arrange an appointment in New York for 1:00PM on a certain day. When I arrived in New York, the Treo's time had automatically changed to Eastern time and the appointment time was still 1:00PM on the calendar.
I just bought a BlackBerry 8330 because Verizon's network coverage is far superior to ATT's at places where I spend most of my time. The BB has excellent web access and email, but the calendar has a problem. If I were in the Pacific time zone and set an appointment for New York at 1:00PM and then traveled to New York, the BB's time would change to Eastern, but the appointment time would also be changed to 4:00PM. This can be a trap that can cause me to occasionally miss an important meeting. I can't afford this risk. I'm likely to return the BB and look for another PDA.
*My Question: Is the iPhone's calendar like the Treo's or the BlackBerry's?*

Thank you for the quick replies. It is not totally clear to me, but it sounds as though the iPhone may be the same as the BlackBerry. If so, then I have to set a time AND make sure that, at the time the appointment is entered, the time zone is properly set for the location of the meeting. The Treo's meeting time was independent of the time zone that was in effect when the appointment time was entered. There was no special setting for it, but there is a setting to either keep the desired time zone in effect regardless of where the phone was located or to let the network adjust the time zone whenever a trip was made. It automatically took the network time from wherever it was so the clock was always right and the alarm for an upcoming meeting would go off at the proper time even if the appointment was entered while set for another time zone. The statement "Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars" doesn't really say how it affects previously set appointments. It will only become clear when someone who travels a lot says how it works in practice.

How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
Sorry for the longish cry for help.
Thanks
