I own a iPhone v.1.1.3 and whenever I sync it with my laptop with Vista OS & using an Microsoft Office 2003. I usually got a day advance in my iCalendar…

I solved it by setting the following:

  1. go to “Setting”.
  2. go to “General”.
  3. go to “Date & Time”.
  4. go to “Time Zone”.
  5. change the Time Zone to the time zone on your computer (example “Beijing”) or where you are at right now.

Hope the above info. helps…. Bye…
