No matter where or how I set a date, say a birthday set in contacts,or a calendar reminder to allocate time for a GST return, it invariably shows up one or sometimes two days out (late).

I have my time zone set to NZ time, yet even US events (eg thanksgiving day ) show up a day late.

Very embarressing to send an old friend a "many happies' a day late.Embarassed

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

There have been many similar issues in the past. The most common was contacts birthdays displaying 1-3 days late. The issue got so bad, I simply went to Google calendar and had it sms me reminders.

Interestingly, I looked again today for the first time in a long time and discovered it is now working properly.
But this doesn't fix your issue. We need a little more info to try to work it out.

What Device are you using?
What OS is it running?
Are you synchronising data with any service? (google, icloud, exchange, etc)
In Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars> Is time zone support enabled or disabled for Calenders? (at the bottom)

I had similar issues when syncing my Microsoft Outlook based calendar – however the amount of days out was consistently only one day although I do recall that some all day events ended up spanning 2 days.

 

I was somewhat disappointed after the iOS5 upgrade that this issue persisted.

 

The issue persisted even after no longer syncing with Outlook (via iTunes) but with the iCloud.

 

However the good news (and the point of my post!) is that once I deleted all the Calendars and started completely afresh starting with a new calendar on iCloud I have completely solved this issue.

 

It took me an hour or so to recreate all my birthdays, all the NZ holidays and other memorial days etc, and all my existing (and previous while I was at it!) appointments.

 

Since then my calendar has completely behaved itself.  No events or appointments are ever on an incorrect day and all day events now behave perfectly.

 

If you are still having issues with incorrect days relating to an iCloud calendar – have you made sure to set your time zone in the iCloud settings?  (click your name in the main iCloud screen to get to settings).

 

Hope you manage to get this issue solved – I remember how frustrated I used to be before iCloud came along!

Iphone 4 32Gb

IOS 5

Sync with Icloud. Damn, and exchange (now turned off)

Oops, thought I knew phone pretty well but had missed "Mail,Contacts,Calendars> Is time zone support enabled or disabled for Calenders? (at the bottom)"

Enabled now and re synced but dates not fixed yet
