Re: calendars, time zones time changes etc

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

I'm surprised you haven't yet received an answer from some iphone user.

If it's truly the case that iphone can't do this, get an Android phone.
It works there perfectly.

Maybe this little nudge of mine will help get you an iphone answer. Hope
so!

I've had no problems using Google Calendar.

Note that you can set the time zone of any Google Calendar appointment.
You can even set a different time zone for start and end times, so that
you can correctly add flights to a Google Calendar.

Re: calendars, time zones time changes etc

[David Chittenden]

Hi,

I do this regularly in my calendar app on my iPhone.

Whilst creating a new appointment:
double-tap on the start date/time field. The first field is the date selector. 
The second field is hours selector. The third field is minutes selector. I use 
24 hour time, so I do not have an AM/PM selector. The last field is the 
timezone. Double-tap on this field. Double-tap on the clear button. Type the 
name of the city in the search field, then right-flick through the suggestions. 
Double-tap on the correct city and the timezone will be set for the start time 
of the appointment. Now, the appointment will always reflect the correct local 
time, even when one travels.

I use the calendar to schedule flights across timezones, and this is tracked 
correctly as well. To do so, after filling out the start time including the 
timezone field, fill out the end time including the timezone field for the 
destination, and the calendar will track and show both times converted to the 
local timezone. The nonconverted times can be checked in the appointment.

In my opinion, the native calendar app on iOS is quite powerful.

Kind regards,

David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA

calendars, time zones time changes etc

Hi Tim and All:

Sorry, I didn’t clarify the most fundamental thing. I use my calendar on my 
iphone and not my computer. 

What you explained makes sense but I need it to work on my i phone.

Thanks,

Re: calendars, time zones time changes etc

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

In Calendar Preferences, under the Advanced tab, make sure that the Enable Time 
Zone Support is checked.  When this is checked, when you set a time for a 
specific event, there's also a Time Zone option you can modify.  So, for 
example, you could set an event for 10 am EST on your calendar when you are in 
PST time.  If you combine this action with setting the Time Zone of your 
computer, it should automatically make the changes for you.  Setting the Time 
Zone of your computer can be done manually, or it can be set automatically 
according to your current location.  So, in System Preferences, in the Date & 
Time pane, under the Time Zone tab, if the checkbox is checked to Set Time 
Automatically by Location, then your Mac will determine its location and set 
the Time Zone accordingly.  The caveat here is that you need to make sure that 
Location Services is enable for your Mac.  With both of these items enabled, 
what you're hoping for should be accomplished in that if you've set the event 
for 10 am EST while you were at home in a different Time Zone such as MST, when 
you travel to New York in EST for the event, all times should properly be 
managed.

I hope this makes some sort of sense.  I'm not sure if it does to me, but it's 
the best my brain could word this morning :)/

Later...
