Thanks Kevin. In one word you have to set the time zone on the iphone and on the iCal. My latest ipod is a little bit . I had to go to settings->general->date & time-> time zone which I set it to Boston MA.
Then I went to: settings -> general -> mail, contacts, calandar -> time zone support. Then I set time zone support to ON and time zone to Boston MA, where I live.
Don’t forget as well on iCal to dgo to: preferences -> advanced then check turn on time zone support.
Then go to iTunes and sync.
You should see iphone and iCal synched. If by mistake you synched to say 4 hours late for each event on iCal, do the following:
Go to an event on iCal, double click on it the choose edit, you will see the time zone different from yours choose the one you like, in my case it’s east cost.
May be you have to do it for each event. Sync again and you are ready to go

Thank you so much for your simple and easy to follow tip. I’m slow to the game and just getting up and running on my first iPhone. I’ve searched many discussion forums and had trouble finding a simple solution. I’m so glad I found your post. Thanks again!

THANK YOU for posting this! I just started using the iCal and after I entered about 6 months of dates & appointments I realized they were all off by an hr. Thanks for helping out…I was about to throw my iPhone out the window!
