Why is the Time Zone incorrect in iCal?

I live in Hawaii and when I trun on the Time Zone Support (in Mail, Contacts,Calendars) and select Honolulu, it puts the time 1 hour earlier than the current time. (iCal shows 6:30 when the actual appointment is for 7:30).  However, when I select Anchorage, Alaska, iCal is set to the correct time.   If I turn off the Time Zone Support it sets the time 1 hour earlier  - just like setting it to the Honolulu time.  Can someone explain why this is happening.  It start when I switched to Lion and iCloud.

Are you normally in Hawaii?  What is your "home" area?

  • 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.

    Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

  • Ical can't add events to Exchange only if I change the time zone

    Hi, I recently update my MacBook from Snow Leopard to Lion (10.7.3) and I was using iCal with Exchange in my organization without any problem, but now I cannot add events, I get a message saying that iCal can't add the evento to Exchange, and it gives me 3 options Cancel, Restore or Redo.
    I search in the forums for this message but none has come to a posible solutions, but I found a discution that someone enable the time zone support and specifies a diferent time zone in the event and "voila" it fixes the problem, the events now are added to Exchange; but obviously this turnaround is not good because the meetings you have to mention the difference in the time to get a meeting done.
    Anyone knows how to report this situation to Apple Support?

    Sorry I do not write to give solutions, only to mention I have the same problem. Additionally, I can share that for the same Exchange account server I can register new events from my iPhone and my iPad. In both instances, events are uploaded to the server and appear in my MacBook's iCal.

  • The time zone is incorrect on my Verizon iPad 3 when lte is enabled.

    My time zone is incorrect when the LTE network is enabled on my Verizon iPad 3.  When I disable LTE the time zone shows correct.  The incorrect time zone when LTE is enabled always shows Cupertino.

    I keep my auto-update for time zone turned off.  You might try turning it off, changing to the appropriate time zone, and then turning it back on.  Maybe it's an Apple joke of everything being on Apple time.

  • Why the time in my calander changes the time zone?

    After addind event to my calender for a certain time. When i check back after sometime I see the time zone Cupertino instead of Halifax and this chages the alert alarm? Does anybody have I dea what's going on.  Also this events records different time on the icloud calander. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Are the other icons in the upper right of the dock working okay? It's possible the menu bar (more accurately, SystemUIServer) has crashed or has hung. You could try killing it in Activity Monitor and it should re-launch and your dock should update.

  • Time zone ignored in iCal invites

    Recently, maybe since the timezone update, iCal has not been processing the time zone of meeting invites that I receive from Exchange users in my company. It is ignoring the time zone, for example an East coast user sends me an invite for 7pm EST, but I receive the invite as 7pm PST.
    I just noticed this problem today but it could have been since the time zone update. I'm a long time user of iCal / Mail, normally I don't have this time zone issue.

    Issues like this have been tossed around for a relatively long time, and those beset by them often are prone to point fingers at just about anyone. Much of the evidence offered is incomplete, or even contradictory. I've tried to follow this issue and others like it for some time, and—though, like most others I have encountered, I remain somewhat dazed and confused—I have come to these basic conclusions:
    • the issue relates somehow to TZID, the global—but, not globally defined and therefore standardized—time zone identifier
    • the heart of the issue appears to reside with some of the many releases of Microsoft's Exchange Server software
    It's relatively easy to point the finger at Microsoft, as the notifications which display this behavior seem to originate from domains which run an Exchange Server of one variety or another. But, it's not that simple. Some report that invitations issued inside work, but those same invitations sent outside do not. Some report that patching the Exchange Server corrects the issue, but it's unclear if a specific post-SP2 patch exists to address the issue. Some report that Outlook Web Access users are affected, but not Outlook users. This may simply be because OWA and Outlook users 'get' their time-stamps from different locations, which do not use the same time zone definitions.
    I think that you're on the right track examining the source data, but I think that it's the data itself that is the problem—specifically the TZID value, or a combination of that value and other information in the file—that raises the issue.
    I don't see much evidence that the problem lies with the current release of iCal, or is caused by the DST patches present in Mac OS X 10.4.6 through 10.4.9, the various security updates or the DST update released by Apple.
    The future release of iCal under Mac OS X 10.5 will be CalDAV compliant, and the CalDAV participants are working diligently to prevent just such problems, by standardizing such values as TZID. Microsoft is late to that party, although is now participating as I understand it, suggesting once again that the root of this problem is likely one or more Microsoft products, including Exchange Server.
    One challenge with correcting the problem is defining it, and another clearly is working through the many varied iterations of Entourage, Outlook, OWA, the Exchange Server product line, and being sure that applied changes to create problems for others, like an organization's Blackberry and Windows Mobile users.
    It would seem incumbent upon an organization's information technology staff to isolate, identify and correct the issue, and not upon users. That might be a challenge to achieve, however, if the majority of users in an organization do not seem to be affected by the problem, no matter how prevalent the problem might be, and how incorrectly an Exchange Server might be operating, if indeed it is.
    Further complicating this is the unfortunate change to DST rules which recently occurred, and the requirement to apply changes to Windows XP and earlier along Mac OS X and OS 9 computers, Palm devices, Windows Mobile devices, mobile handsets and the server components which support them. While that issue isn't at all a likely component of this problem, they unluckily have appeared in some organizations almost simultaneously, making a possible link somehow a foregone conclusion, thus only adding to the confusion.
    Where the offset is just one hour, as contrasted with the twelve hours reported by one poster, the immediate and logical conclusion is to assume that it's a DST issue. It likely is not.

  • Understanding Time Zone support in iCal

    I'm travelling overseas soon and I want to enter my various appointments so they're correctly displayed in the locations where they'll take place. How do I do this? At the moment the appointments I've entered are displayed as if they're taking place here at home, so a flight that arrives at 9pm in London is shown as arriving 10 hours after that. I suppose the calendar will display correctly when I move to the relevant time zone, but the shifting times are disconcerting. Is it possible to have the appointments actually display all the time at the times I've set regardless of the time zone? In other words, for iCal to leave a 9pm flight arrival at 9pm regardless of the local time? I wonder whether my problem is that I've entered the time before entering the time zone. Maybe if I now re-enter all the various appointments while leaving the time zone correct all will be well. I'm in a conceptual black hole here.

  • Where did the time zone selection go when making an event in Calendar?

    So in iOS5 and iOS6 there was an option to select the time zone the event was going to be in when creating it in the Calendar app.
    Now in iOS7 it appears it is no longer there unless you turn time zone support ON.
    I want to be able to have time zone support OFF like I had in iOS5 and 6 and still have the time zone selection option when creating events.
    I'm at a loss for why this option was removed. Is there any way to get this back? My coworkers are having issues creating meeting events when out on the road and figuring out the right time zone +/- when moving between time zones.

    You can middle-click a tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close that tab.
    Did you try Save mode to be sure that it is not caused by an extension or theme?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How do I sync my icloud calendar between iPhone 5 and macbook pro without a 1 hour difference? I've made sure that the time zones are the same on all devices and it's still doing it.

    I cannot get my iphone 5 and macbook pro to display the same time on my calendar. There is a one hour  difference between them and it is driving me crazy!! Please help!!!

    Did you also confirm that the time zone was set correctly on icloud.com (click on your name, check Time Zone)?

  • When time zone support is on even when I am on Jerusalem, when i create an appointment the time zone for the appointment is immediately changed to Gaza and even when I change it manually it returns to Gaza.

    I have a 4s iPhone on IOS 6.0.1 with an Israeli Cellular provider.
    I use Gmail services an exchange to sync my colander contacts and mail.
    When the time zone support is set to ON in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
    The time zone is showing Jerusalem (I am located in Tel-Aviv)
    When I create a new Appointment, It Immediately changes the time zone of the appointment to Gaza.
    Even if I change it back to Jerusalem it changes back to Gaza every time.
    Only when the time zone support is set to OFF in the Settings->mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support
    The time zone in Gmail is ok and does not appear on the iPhone. (This is ok)
    Dose any one know how do I make the iPhone not change the time zone to Gaza? And still keep the time zone support on?
    TNX

    they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.
