Wrong Time for iCal events

I am running System 10.7.5.
I am running iCal 5.0.3.
When ever I want to schedule an event on the half hour, iCal refuses to post the proper time.
For example, I want to schedule an event at 8:30 PM; iCal schedules it for 8 or 7:30 PM.
It even stubbronly reverts to 19:30 (military time, which I usually use) when I want to
schedule it at 8:00 PM or 20:00 (military time again).
BTW, the System Clock is accurate to the second, so that is not the problem.

You have to change your time zone to Arabia Standard Time. It will help you now.

Can I set up a default time for iCal events?

Can I set up a default time for iCal events?

That's actually how Guest Access feature works. You can share internet to your guest/visitors without giving them access to your local network. You may configure the Guest Access settings on the router using Linksys Smart Wifi through the local access interface; check this site for the instructions, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=b509a1805dd6416ebb0e35a7e5a58937_Configuring_Guest...

IPod changes times for iCal events

My iPod seems to be changing the time of my iCal events. For example, the event in iCal is set for 1 p.m., but when I use iSync to sync, it shows up on my iPod as starting at 8 a.m.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the response. Do you know how I can match time zones? I've got my iMac set up on the Central time zone, and my iPod also shows the correct Central time zone. I haven't been able to find a time zone setting in iSync.

Is anyone experiencing High loading times for iCal events using Outlook exchange

I am using an iPad2 and use the default iCal and another calendar app (HD Informant) connected Exchange and synched to Outlook. Recently it is taking over 45 seconds to a minute to load calendar events. When I go to swipe to a new week, it freezes' or at least takes another 45 seconds to move day to day, week to week or month to month.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues?

categories are not supported at present. If you add a contact to your phone and sync, you will need to categorize in outlook.

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.

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+

ICals on OS X & iOS display different time for same event

I am in UTC+8 time zone. My boss is in UTC-5 time zone. I have set up sync service on my MBA and iPhone iCals with my company's MS Exchange Server.
I have a weekly meeting invitation from my boss, my MBA iCal displays this meeting on 10:30pm which is wrong, while my iPhone and MS Server displays 9:30pm which is corret - the meeting takes places on 9:30pm my time.
All my other iCal events are fine on both devices, only this weekly event displays different time. I have taken with MBA and iPhone to travel around the world over the past half year and switched time zones on them, but they are all set to adjust time zones automatically, and they are with most up-to-date system. Why does MBA iCal displays wrong time? Can I adjust it? This problem exisits on Lion and now also on M Lion.
Thanks for everyone's attention and help in advance!

Try using floating time zones. It helped for me.

Continuing alerts for iCal Events after canceling

Hello everyone,
I suspect what I'm about to describe is a bug, but hopefully I'm wrong and there is a setting for this. For any iCal Events I have, which are typically listed as all day events, I get continual reminder notifications even after CANCELLING. Anyone seeing this? Is there a way to stop it or do you think this is a bug.
FYI, I do have calendar turned on for iCloud, but not reminders. This happens on both my Macbook Pro and my iMac.

OK...I've found the culprit and an easy workaround. First, Desktop Manager for Mac is the problem. If you set any event alert reminders in iCal to "Message and Sound" you'll get both the message and the sound on your Mac, but Desktop Manager for Mac mangles this somehow when the event is synched to the BB. The event makes it over, but when the event is selected on the BB and opened, the alert is set to "None".
To fix this, simply change all event alert reminders in iCal to "Message" (without the sound) and re-sync using Desktop Manager now the events on your BB have the same alert parameters as in iCal and their alerts now popup when scheduled and they have an audible sound.
Come on, RIM...Mac users deserve better than this. It took you 12 years to get us a real (well almost real) Desktop Manager, so now give it the same features as you provide in the Windows Desktop Manager. But since I know nothing in this forum ever makes it to RIM...we'll have to hope they figure this out on their own.

Time of iCal events is changed on phone

Syncing iCal events with my Sony Ericsson V800 worked fine until a few weeks ago. Since then some, but not all events appear with a changed tme on the phone, mostly by 1 hour. Computer and phone both have the same time zone setting (GMT + 2, Mid European daylight saving time). Resetting the sync history on iSync didn't change anything. Does anyone have a hint how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

This is most likely due to the clocks changing at the end of the month. Events before the clocks change will be ok, events after will be one hour out
This is just a limtation in the way iSync & Sony Ericsson phones handle the clocks changing.
When the clocks do change just adjust the daylight savings setting in the phone and re-sync. All future events will be correct until the next clocks change in 6 months.

Please don' make us wait... it's time for ICAL iPhone task integration

With many app developers having great success with task/to do list, isn't time (or way past time) for Apple to allow tasks, via iCal, to flow to the iPhone and push technology to prompt users of important things to do, at a certain time? I am very busy like many other mac users, and I don't want to litter my calendar with many, time sensitive, todos. Beside,s other to-do apps would be able to offer customers up to date functionality with iCal task support.
Please don't make us wait any longer.

If you want Apple to read your very good suggestion you need to post it to one of their feedback pages.
Here's the one for ical http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html

What happened to display of end times for iCal entries?

I recall that iCal with Snow Leopard showed the start and end times for every entry. If, for example you had "school" on Monday at 10am to Noon, then you would have a block occupying that time slot and on the top edge, it would say "10 AM" and at the bottom edge, it would say "12 PM."
That no longer seems to be the case; I only have the start time. This was a nice, handy feature, esp. when viewing many days, where the time scale isn't close by. suggestions? comments? thanks.

Click the orange fire fox button, then select the History menu, the option to clear recent history is there.
If you want, you can access the old style menus by pressing either Alt or F10.

Entering a time for an event in iCal

If I use the up/down arrows, all is fine. If instead I use the keyboard numbers, then it looks as if 1 is recognised as 3, 2 as 4...This happens only with ical.
Furthermore, if I syncronise with a mobile an event whose time was entered using keyboard, the time is increased by 2 hours on the mobile phone.
All this looks really weird.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds as if you have time zones activated in iCal (iCal> Preferences> Advanced> Turn on time zone support).
Does the event info have a 'time zone' option. Is the time zone of the event different from the one your computer is set to? (System Preferences> Date & Time> Time Zone). In this case the stated start and end times are in the local time zone of the event, but appear in your computer's local time zone in the main window. For example your event could be in 'Europe/London' saying 9am and your computer could be set to 'Europe/Zurich' (one hour ahead?) and the event would show as 10am in the main daily/weekly pannel.
If so, you could either turn off time zone support in iCal (if it's not useful to you), or check that the event's and your computer's time zones are correct.
Hope this helps

Calendar app showing wrong date for iCal feed.

Has anyone else noticed that when an iCal feed publishes an event that is after 0000Z, but still on the previous date in local time, it's added to the calendar on the wrong day?
Example: Your phone is being used in Chicago (CST). An ical feed you subscribe to publishes and event for 0300Z on November 5th. That event should then actually be on November 4th at 2100 CST, however, the phone will enter the event with the corrected time of 2100Z, however, won't correct the date which should be on the 4th (CST = GMT -6 hours).

I have my Mac's calendar auto-adjusting to time.apple.com. After coming back from Asia, now my calendar shows that November 11th, 2014 is a Wednesday; it is supposed to be Tuesday!

Is there a way to keep the time for an event on the left of the box in month view?

For example, when I type in "5:00 PM Basketball Game," iCal automatically changes the event to "Basketball Game." I only use month view so that wasn't helpful for me. I only recently discovered the "show event times" option in preferences so now the time shows up in month view, but on the right in faded text. Is there anything I can do in Terminal to keep it from automatically changing it? I'm old-fashioned I guess.
I realize it's nitpicky but I'd appreciate a solution. Thanks!

I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

Default time for new event is always 15 min b4...

I think Ical is great and i use it daily to help me with my biz to stay on top of calls i need to make.
I am constantly adding new events and i always want my new events to open with a default time of "0" rather than "15 minutes before". It is very tedious to constantly have to change this every time I make a new event.
I also would hope to do the same thing with the alarm default feature so that I can change the default setting from "none" to "open file" since I always set alarms on all my new events this way. I am sure other ppl have the same problem if this ical a lot and would love to know how to tweak this or fix this in an update.
Apple if there is (or isn't) a way to fix this then plz tell me so instead of ignoring this post as I noticed a similar post someone else made has been ignored,
TY
ERIC

Bump. I'd like to know this as well. I don't see a preference for this in com.apple.iCal.plist
9AM every day would be perfect as a default
