iCloud calendar: Julie isn’t reading events at the right time

Attention : Julie is not compatible with the iCloud calendar, this article is provided for the customers using the service before this restriction.

Julie is coming back to you because : 

  • You’ve asked her to organize a meeting at a specific time and she tells you that you aren't available at that time but rather one hour before or after.
    • Example: You’ve asked Julie to organize a meeting tomorrow from 2 to 3pm and she tells you that you aren’t available then but that you are available from 1pm to 2pm and from 3pm to 4pm.
  • She has signaled a conflict between two events for which one is recurring.
    • Example : You have a recurring event called “sports” every Wednesday from 5pm to 6pm. You've asked Julie to organize a meeting with Paul Wednesday from 4pm to 5pm and Julie tells you that your aren't available then but rather from 3pm to 4pm or 5 to 6pm.

Don't panic! It’s simply a question of timezones.

 If you use iCloud, your calendars and events will be in the time zone you’ve indicated on your iCloud account.

You can change your timezone settings on your calendar here so that Julie can read meetings in the correct time zone.
