This weekend gone the clocks went forward here in the UK for British "Summer" Time. My iMac clock is correct and so is my T68i time setting (I switched the daylight savings setting to +1hr Summertime), yet when I use iSync, my calendar events are 1 hour earlier on the phone than they should be. This was discussed in threads not long after iSync was first released but I didn't see any solution... any suggestions anyone?

I have exactly the same problem!

In Australia, we just uhh.... left daylight savings I think, whatever anyhow we moved our clocks back 1 hour. The time on my mac and my T68i are both correct, yet the T68i calendar has events 1hr ahead of time still, as if the calendar didnt move the time back in sync with the rest of the phone? Hmm any ideas?

I got around mine by setting my T68i time zone to GMT+1hr (I'm in the GMT+0hr tz), leaving it as +1hr summertime and then changing the time to be correct - a truly ugly hack that worked

Edit: Tell a lie - I noticed that having done this, all events that I had entered prior to the BST time change were "correct" but any that I added to iCal after this weekend were 1 hour out again. So, I set the time/timezone and daylight-savings to the correct settings on my T68i once again and then I reset my T68i from iSync (select Reset All Devices... under the Devices menu) and updated it using the data from my computer. Everything is now correct having done that - all events are listed at the right time, regardless of when I added them.

Awesome, that worked

First I tried just resetting all, but the times were still off. 'faked' my timezone settings etc, then tried again, but new appointments would be wrong. Finally just went back to the true settings, resetting all in iSync, now all is good. Cheers
