Hello, thank you for reporting this!
Yesterday we have released 2.5 version (in App Store), can you reproduce problem with due dates there? So far I could not. If you can, I would appreciate screenshot of your task you create in EPIM.
There are, however, problems with Reminders for such To Do, which we will be promptly fixing.

Hello again. Yes, I have updated to the newest version for both PC and iOS. This is what is occuring: Everything syncs properly, except the due dates for the ToDo's. For some reason, when I create a ToDo with a due date on my PC and sync my iPhone, the due date is always 1 day behind. So if for example I create a ToDo with a due date of 10/2/12 on my PC, after syncing my iPhone, the ToDo will show up with the due date of 10/1/12.

I attached 2 images - "Test 1" created on PC with due date 9/28, and then the screenshot of "Test 1" synced on my iPhone. You can see that the due date is 9/27.

Thanks for your help!

Zoe

HI,

we have checked this issue. It looks like the problem is different timezones and/or dates set up on your computer and on you phone. Could you check that?

Hi again. I actually had already checked that before posting on the help forum. And the timezones are indeed accurate. I am in California, so GMT Pacific time.

It's still happening. Any To Do I create (or edit the date of) on my PC, when synced with iPhone, the To Do shows 1 day earlier every time. It only happens with the To Do's, and when I sync PC > iPhone (meaning a To Do that is created or edit the date of on my PC, then sync the changes to iPhone). The other way around (iPhone > PC) is fine. Please help me with this! Thanks!

Hi,
the problem with date behind or in advance with 1 day is fixed in 5.5, please get it here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13359

Also, download latest 2.6 iOS EPIM from AppStore (appeared there today)

Would appreciate if you confirm it is fixed.

This problem was fixed a long time ago. Tell which version number you are using on Windows and iOS.
