iPhone iCal Sync - Events are always listed as wrong date and time

mashinhead · Feb 8, 2008, 11:45 PM

Every event I have in iCal shows up at the wrong day or wrong time once synce to the iphone. Anyone else having this issue?

That's a really weird problem. Perhaps you could uncheck all calendars and then sync and then recheck the calendars and sync again.

Try setting the correct Time & Date on both the iPhone and the PC/Mac, I had this problem when I first got the phone and one of the dates/time wasn't correct.

Good luck, hope this helps

I just had the same problem and solved it!

make sure that in your preferences in iCal that you have the time/zone correctly selected.

Because i had Australian time zone on my iPhone and American time zone on my mac the times and dates were wrong!

good luck!

My birthdays calendar isn't syncing through via mobile me which is a tad frustrating as are the colours which seem inconsistent across the 3 apps (MobileMe, ical and iPhone). Aside from that I do love the fact that the calendar is now mutli-coloured and that my email gets pushed to me - even on my old phone!

If you log in to me.com, under the calendar preferences, there's an option to sync the birthdays calendar.

Hi,

Just thought I would let you post that I had a similar problem when synching my outlook calendar with my new iphone.
After having a play in the menus on the iphone I corrected it straight away with no resynching etc.

By default the iphone settings are wrong for this.

To change:

click settings / mail,contacts,calendars then scroll down to calendar and click "Time Zone Support". This will be set to "Cupertino" - (well was for me on 2 phones)

Set this to "off" and this should then correct the times on all of your calendar items.

As mentioned this was for synching between outlook on a pc and iphone but may help someone.

Cheers

I was wondering why when I was on the left coast this past weekend my appointments didn't update correctly. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you, craigw2008.

Your fix worked for me & my new iPhone 3Gs & Mac Book!

I'm wondering, is it possible to set it so that the time zone will always be correct? (For me that would be NYC time.) In case I travel...

TIA!

bye bye bb...
