Using ical in 2 different time zones

I use ical in uk. When I am in CA I also use my powerbook and ical to keep appointments here. My secretary enters appointments in UK, they appear with US time ie +8 hrs. How if possible do I keep appointments in both countries in the local time? Thanks

You'll want to enable Time Zone support in iCal. It's in the advanced tab of preferences. Once activated, when you create a new appointment, you specify which timezone the appointment is for. Depending on the time-zone your computer is currently set to, the appointment will show the appointment in your local time.
Thus for example if you have an appointment in CA at 11am PST, you'd set PST as the time zone when you enter it in the UK. In the UK, it would appear as 8 hours ahead, or 7pm. When you get to CA & change the time zone on your laptop to PST, iCal would show the event in the now local time.

How do i create a new event in a different time zone in iCal ios7?

New update seems to have made this disappear in iphone.
I'm also looking for same solution on MacBook Pro

Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
Default calendar for new events
Default time for alerts
Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
Which day starts the week

Different time zones in the same calendar subscription

Dear kind helpers,
To state my problem as clear as possible, I need to be a bit long. Sorry for that.
I registered to a calendar displaying the rugby schedule for the VI nations tournament:
-> http://www.rbs6nations.com/tools/calendars/sixnations-fixtures-6n-all.ics
from the official web site:
-> http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/matchcentre/downloadable_fixture_list.php
The only thing you need to know about this tournament is that it involves 6 teams (hence the name):
- 2 on the continent, then at GMT+1 (France and Italy),
- 4 on the British Isles (Englands, Walles, Scotland and Ireland), then at GMT+0
I think all of these nations have the same summer / winter shifts.
I'm on the continent, Central European Time for the time zone support feature on iCal (OS 10.9.1).
I guess it's GMT+1 plus winter shift at the moment.
I notice the same following problem on my iPod (iOs 5.1.1), sync through iCloud
Here the problem : it seems all the games are in local times !
For instance, a game in the Islands (Scotland, England, ...) appears at 5pm whereas I would like it to appear at 6pm (so the time is correctly displayed for British Isles, not for the continent) / a game on the continent (France or Italy) will appear at 5pm and I'm fine because it's right the correct time in my time zone. I've no idea how a game which takes place on the continent appears in the British Isles :-(
So a few questions :
- am I clear about the problem ?
- is it a problem from iCal or from the subscription itself ?
- in case it's iCal, is there a way to fix the trouble ?
PS : I experienced the same problem with an other subscription a few years ago ; it was also for a european championship schedule across different time zones displayed in the same calendar. This one was discontinued.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is an issue with the subscription itself. The times for the events are set in 'floating' time and whatever time zone you use it iCal will show the event as being at that time local time (which obviously won't be right unless you are in the correct time zone).
I could post a more technical explanation if you like.
Best wishes

Duplicate entries in two different time zones

Somehow iCal imported files (or converted files) into two different time zones--the zone I'm in this year (Asia) and the original zone of the event (US east coast). So I might have an event correctly scheduled at 2pm, April 5, 2001 and a duplicate "false" event scheduled at 1am, April 6, 2001. I now have thousands of such entries, too many to delete manually. It's too late, now that I've made many updates before discovering the problem (all of the duplicate events took place before I moved to Asia), to start over.
I've turned off "time zone support" since I suspect it was the source of the problem in the first place (I regret ever turning it on).
I've been able to delete 1500 duplicate "all day" events using a script from John M, but timed events are not identical and therefore can't be uncovered with his script.
Is there any solution to this problem?

I never found a solution to this problem

How to create an event in two different time zones?

Hello,
I am traveling a lot and I would like to be able to enter the flight details in iCal - whether on my iPhone, iCloud, i... whatever. The problem is that I cannot manage to enter these details without calculating the time difference. Example:
I am flying on Saturday from Frankfurt to Japan. My flight takes off at 19:00h local German time and arrives in Tokyo at 13:00h local time (in Japan)
I can either specify the time zone for Germany or for Tokyo, but is there a way to enter the event from 19:00h German time to 13:00h Tokyo time?
Thank you very much for your time.
Larry

Hi Alex,
this applies only when the event takes place in one time zone, but in my case I start the event on one time zone and ends in a different time zone. As it is known, the airlines show always the local times on the ticket. Which means that I start my travel at 19:00h German time (UTC +2) and end it at 13:00h Tokyo time (UTC +9). When I create the event I can choose From Date/Time... To Date/Time and below I have Time zone. Ideally I should have two time zones, one for the start and another for the end.
Since this situation only applies to travelling (I can't think of another case right now), I believe that Apple didn't take this into consideration.
Any other thoughts/ideas? Other than manually calculating the difference, of course.

How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones

How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones?
Suppose IT landscape has a global BW in New York, and source systems in americas, europe and asia, then how the time-zones effect on time related things like delta selections on date or timestamp etc.

As you said BW is global in NY, your source system must be global too. People from various locations can connect to same source system and thus timestamps for delta is always maintained as 1 single time. We have same scenario in our project. Our R/3 system is used by users in US and Europe. So we run deltas twice in day to make sure we got deltas from both locations.
If scenarios was such that all locations connect to separate R/3 system, then obviously you have multiple queues. That is unique delta queue for each source system so deltas will be pulled as per data in respective queues.

Creating appointments in a different time zone with accuracy

I have my computer setup to set the date and time automatically. I also have iCal set to my current time zone. How do you create appointments for times in a different time zone with accuracy while you are in your current time zone?
For example, when I prepare for a business trip, I set my agenda in iCal while I'm at home. All of these appointments show up in my current time zone. When I get to my destination the times for my appointments are incorrect. I live in New York, but have a meeting in LA. The meeting is at 8:00 am PST. When I'm home, I set the appointment for 8:00 am, but by default, it is EST. When I get to LA, even if u change the time zone settings, the appointment shows up as 5:00 am PST. Do I need to set the appointment for 5:00 am while I'm at home in New York to take into account the time difference? Seems confusing and difficult to manage on a continual basis.
Any suggestions?
Mac

To elaborate further - what the current iOS manual says about times zones is:
_*When Time Zone Support is on, Calendar displays event dates and times in the time zone of the city you selected. When Time Zone Support is off, Calendar displays events in the time zone of your current location as determined by the network time.*_
Does that mean with time zone support off that when you move from one time zone to another and your phone readjusts its time setting that the appointment times are changed also or does it mean that the assumption is made that the event time is to be left as is. I believe it is the latter, but the description makes it sound to me like the opposite.
I do know that if one has time zone support enabled and you are in FL with an appointment with a California time zone enabled the time shown for the event will be 3 hours later. The description seems to say the opposite, but that was my experience in the past. In addition if time zone support is enabled and you change time zones, the time shown for the appointment will be changed.
For me at least a much clearer descrpition of what time zone support does is needed.
+*We need a checkbox that says adjust appointment time to correspond with time zone you are in in comparison to zone of event, and a checkbox that says:absolutely don't change the times I enter for events.*+

Standby atabase in different time zone than Primary databse

I am curious to know, If my primary database is in NY and I am planning to have my DR in London.
Is this configuration possible by having primary and standby host box having different time(as their time zones) I am thinking issues about how oracle will cordinate shipment of archive logs which are in different time zones.
I know one way to configure it....
even If box is in London, Box will be having time of NY timezone on host..

I would expect, though, without having had a chance to test it, that you might run into problems using various time-based DataGuard configurations and settings. For example, if you configured your standby to wait X minutes before applying logs from the production server, I would tend to suspect that you'd have issues.
In the event of a failover, you might also have application-level issues related to "duplicate" dates. If your application runs continuously across daylight savings time switches, you're probably fine, but a lot of apps aren't doing anything in that one hour a year that the clocks fall back an hour and discover that they're not quite as bulletproof as they'd expect.

Why is Ical not converting the time zones on email invites? This is a big problem where my work is global.

Why is my Ical not converting the time zones on email invites? this has happend twice this week where someone has sent me an evite and it post improperly on the calendar.

My original post stated that I was having performance problems and the whole point of the post was to find out if there is a way of exporting the information out of Thunderbird and importing into a new profile. Nothing has changed. I was not looking for the standard methods of managing profiles, which are well documented on the web.
Thunderbird appears to make use of a number of sqlite databases. My post was to see if there is anyone on the forum with sufficient knowledge about the database structure/usage to show me how to get the information out and import it to new databases. It is my view that some database corruption has taken place that is causing my performance problems. So, I wanted to get the data out of the databases, edit it as necessary, and get it back into new databases. I was hoping that the Thunderbird developers, or a third party, had a tool to help me with that.
I suspect that the corruption has occurred due to hard disk errors or an unexpected shutdown at some point. I could be completely wrong, but as I have said, I have ruled out the obvious things. Having created a new "blank" profile I know that the performance problems are related to my existing profile. The new profile/Thunderbird performed without issues.
If you have the expertise to show me how to do that then I would welcome your help. If you can show me that I am wrong in my assumptions then I would be interested to hear your views.
So, nothing at all has changed. I previously logged a bug report on RSS feeds and I only raised the RSS issue as an example of why I think the obvious things are not applicable. Many users may have issues relating to anti-virus/firewall type problems but as I said in my original post, I am quite technical. The point of saying that was to make it clear that I am not a novice user. I also did quite a lot of searching via Google to see if I could find a solution before posting on this forum.
So, nothing at all has changed from my original post.

How to report with different time zone dynamically based on user's account?

Hello
I am wondering is there a way to change the report's date & time data based on user's locale setting in OBIEE?
Let's say the user log in to OBIEE with eastern time zone setting. The data that's in the database is storing a transaction of $400 at 1am Pacific time.
So when this user run a query which does something like 'select date, transaction, amount from date, transaction, sales where this = that', it should display the $400 amount done at 4am eastern time instead of 1am pst.
What I have done is to have data stores in date dimension to be UTC time, and I have also changed the data type of the date column to be 'local time zone'. DB is Oracle DB 11G now.
Now this query works perfectly well in the DB as long as I run the following commend first:
Alter session set time zone = 'whatever my time zone'
and then
Select date, transaction from tables..
The date displayed will automatically be converted into different time zone..
Since everything is working nicely from Oracle DB level, I need to know how to make it work when OBIEE sends the same query down to the DB..
I know that, probably I will have to enter the above alter session commend in the connection pool, however, I can't hardcode the time zone value.
I also don't want to store user's time zone in the user table because these users travels a lot. So even if his table setting is EST, but at a given day he can be traveling to pst time zone and view reports.
Is there a way to dynamically set the time zone based on user's account locale setting?
Let me know if you guys have implemented something similar or not
Thanks

Hello Sarvan
I have already done that part at the DB level and it is working perfectly with alter session commend before the query.
My question is, how do I configure OBIEE so that before each user runs a report from BI, the alter session commend will be fired with each user's personal locale time zone setting passed through so that each user will be able to view data according to their different time zone?did you tried with Connection scripts(Execute On connect) in Connection pool.write ur Alter commend to Change Time Zone in this script box.

Can the central system and the sender system at different time zone?

We have a control(i.e. central) system which is 6 hours ahead of the sender system.
When processing step "analyse tables in sender system", we get short dumps immediately at control , sender and receiver.
On the sender, the short dump reads:
Runtime Errors         CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR
Date and Time          01/15/2011 16:09:05
Short text
     " " (I/Oerror)
What happened?
     "CPIC-CALL: 'ThCMSEND' : cmRc=18 thRc=0#Statistics not active "
An error occurred when executing a Remote Function Call.
On the central system the short dump reads:
Runtime Errors         CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR
Date and Time          15.01.2011 22:09:00
Short text
     "Field symbol has not yet been assigned."
On the receiver the short dump reads:
Runtime Errors         GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED
Date and Time          01/15/2011 22:09:00
Short text
     Field symbol has not yet been assigned.
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLCNVTDMS_BW_FUNCTIONS_REM" had to be terminated .
We never get this error before on this step. The only thing I can think of is that the sender and the central system
are at different time zone.
Please share your experience.
Thanks!

Hi,
By looking at the runtime error , the reason of the dump should not be the timestamp diff .
You can create an OSS ticket with SAP for further analysis.
Also, there can be data consistency issues due to time diff .

Received meeting invites when I was traveling in different time zone

I recived several meeting invites when I was traveling in a different time zone. When i returned to my home time zone, the meetings are showing up on my calendar 3 hours behind.

From the iCal Help Menu in the Tool Bar...
Changing or deleting an event
You can change the time, day, alarm, or any other settings for any events you’ve created, or you can delete an event.
You can’t change the events on a calendar you’ve subscribed to (subscribed calendars appear in your Calendar list under the heading “Subscriptions”), and you can only change the calendar, status, and alarms for events you’ve been invited to.
To change or delete an event:
To change the time or day of an event you’ve created, drag the event to the new time or day in the main calendar view.
To change an event’s duration, drag the event’s top or bottom edge. (You can resize events only in Day or Week view.) If the event is an all-day event, in Week view, drag the left or right side of it.
To change the name of an event, double-click it. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Select the event name, type a new name, and then click Done. (You can also change the name of an event without opening the event editor by holding down the Option key while you double-click the event name.)
To edit other characteristics of an event (for example, how often it repeats or whether it has an alarm), double-click the event. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Make your changes.
To delete an event, select the event and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
If you’re changing an event to which you’ve invited other people, you need to send an updated event to the invitees by clicking Send in the event editor

Is there an iCal add-in that will accommodate different time zones?

I am a former Windows/Outlook guy, now living in an all-Apple world (iMac on my desktop; iPhone, iPad and/or MacBook Air when I travel, which I frequently do.)
Here is my challenge (something that was easy, easy, easy to do in Outlook):
I want to be able to create events in iCal that will occur in some other time zone without having to do the mental math.
For example, I am sitting at my desk in my home time zone (Eastern Time) and book a flight from Washington to Los Angeles for sometime next month. What I WANT to do is create an event with a start time of 8:30 am Eastern and an end time of 11:30 am Pacific. To do that now, I have to mentally say "That's really 8:30 Eastern to 2:30 pm Eastern". Hope I got the conversion right. If I did, all is good. The event will show up properly in my iPhone at departure time in DC. When I fire up my iPhone on landing in LA, the internal clock adjusts, and everything is good. If I make a mental mistake (for example, add hours rather than subtract), I might miss my flight.
I have another trip already on the books to Dallas. I get an email from a colleague setting up a meeting while I am there. Regardless of whether I am sitting at my iMac in DC or looking at my MacBook in a hotel room in LA, what I want to is be able to enter the appointment as "2 o'clock Central Time" and be assured it will show up in the proper time in my calendar, regardless of where (or when) in the world I happen to be the next time I look at iCal.
Most of the comments on this forum suggest work arounds. "Just work it out in your head". But I am not talking about doing this occasionally with one or two events. I do it constantly with literally scores of events occuring in multiple time zones. And there is nothing worse than setting an alarm clock for 3 in the morning in Paris so you can get up to catch that 8 pm Eastern board of directors conference call only to discover you missed the call because you screwed up the math when you entered the call in your calendar.
Like I said. Outlook in Windows does this flawlessly. But setting up Outlook on my home Mac (in a Windows partition) defeats the purpose of my trying to do it on the software, platform and hardware I prefer to use.
Which is a long winded explanation to get back to my simple question: is there an iCal add-in or standalone app that plays well with iCal that will let me designate the time zone for start and end times when I create an iCal entry?

It sounds like 1Password may do what you're looking for.

How to reset the location of a Time Machine taken to a different time zone?

I have recently moved my Time machine to a different country and time zone. I have reset the whole thing, entered the right time zone in the manual set up, but it still displays the old location when automatically searching for time zone. Also, when using an iPod Touch and Google earth or Maps, it shows the old location as the current one. How do I reset the location on my Time Machine to match the current one?

+I had done that and it does show the correct time on my machine. My question however was about the location setting and it displays my former address and not the current one.+
There are only two settings on the Time Capsule related to location and time.
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Time Capsule tab below the row of icons and you will see time settings and time zone settings
Then click the Wireless tab and then click Wireless Network Options to see the settings for Country location.
