Sorry people, I just re-read my email to Glenn ...... obviously I cannot type or read what I type?? Should have checked my email before sending ;-( 1PM 'Australia/Perth' appears as 'Australia/Melb' 3PM which IS the correct time for EDT.

I'm getting like Daniel  ..... sleep deprived!
See Daniel, I keep saying you need sleep ...... I better take my own advice :-)

Cheers,
Ronni

Glenn,

Are the appointments you are having time problems with, are they in another Time Zone. Example: EDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)?
You have your Computer set to WDT (Australian Western Daylight Time)?

if I enter an event in iCal as happening at 1PM 'Australia/ Perth' (which is my present View) and then switch my present view to be (shown at upper right of iCal) 'Australia/Melb' the event now appears at 10 AM which is the correct time for EDT.

I have added different time zones for this purpose using 'other' and then clicking on the map to locate the city etc.

Cheers,
Ronni

Has anyone else been having trouble with iCal appointments with Leopard?

I am finding people are sending me appointments for say 9am and it shows up in iCal for 10am. Sometimes the time differences are 8 hrs (e.g. an 11am appointment invitation appears in iCal at 7pm after accepting). This is happening from several people, not just one. The errors appears to be time zone related (+8 GMT for the 8 hr issue, and DST for the 1 hr issue). My system time is automatially updated from time,asia.apple.com to the WST Zone (Perth), is there are a different way to set my time so I can interact with the rest of the world better?

iCal has also taken a few backward steps in my view.
Updating a calendar entry is cumbersome. You have to double click, then press Edit, and then click in the field to change. Why can't you just click in the field and change it? Also, if you accept an invite from someone else, you can't make any changes to it at all. You have to decline it then recreate, and that confuses people.

Am I missing some obvious shortcuts to solve these problems? iCal was really handy under Tiger, less so under Leopard.

Hi Glenn,

In iCal Preferences > Advanced button - have you checked 'turn on time zone support'?

Cheers,
Ronni
