If so, pay attention to today&#8217;s Tech Tip because it can keep you from the embarrassment of showing up early or late for appointments when you are in a different time zone. We&#8217;re going to talk about the Calendar app,&nbsp;how to enable time zone support and show how to select the time zone for upcoming events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Should I Enable Time Zone Support?<\/strong><br \/>\nWithout time zone support enabled on your Mac Calendar, things can get a little weird if you set up appointments in other time zones. Let&#8217;s say, for example, that you&#8217;re in Los Angeles (Pacific Time) and you&#8217;re invited to a meeting in New York (Eastern Time) that will happen at 2 PM ET. If Time Zone Support isn&#8217;t enabled for Calendar, you&#8217;ll set the meeting for 2 PM&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, you&#8217;re in New York and your iPhone &#8212; which is synced with your Mac Calendar &#8212; is now set to Eastern Time, three hours ahead. That meeting &#8212; and all other appointments &#8212; have shifted ahead by three hours as well. In other words, looking at your iPhone you&#8217;ll see that the meeting is at 5 PM, not 2 PM&#8230;and you will miss the appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Enabling Time Zone Support takes care of this for you by adding the specific time zone for a meeting. When I create a new meeting in the Mac Calendar with Time Zone Support turned on, I am given the option of selecting the Time Zone in which that meeting takes place. As a result, the 2 PM meeting in the Eastern Time Zone shows up on my calendar at 2 PM, even when I&#8217;ve traveled to the meeting location and my iPhone&#8217;s clock has reset itself ahead three hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Do I Enable Time Zone Support?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo enable Time Zone Support on a Mac:<\/p>\n<p>1) Launch Calendar from the Dock or Applications folder<\/p>\n<p>2) Select Calendar &gt; Preferences&nbsp;&gt; Advanced, then check &#8220;Turn on time zone support&#8221; (see screenshot below)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"238\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47543\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM.png\" alt=\"&quot;(On\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM.png 480w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM-242x120.png 242w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM-284x141.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM-190x94.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-05-at-10.14.55-AM-190x94@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible to enable Time Zone Support for iCloud Calendar if you use it frequently, or think that you might use it while traveling (on a hotel or Internet caf\u00e9 machine, for example).
