Cannot Change Timezone/Time at All under GNOME Desktop

Just as the title says, im having trouble changing the timezone in gnome, when i go to date & time settings, it doesnt let you do anything and the unlock button in the top right corner fails to ask for a password, rather it doesnt do anything. If you need any info to complete this task, ill be more than happy to shed light where it needs to be shed

I have no idea about Gnome, but why do you need Gnome to change it anyway?

What's up with this awful new calendar? Cannot change start time!

Ever since "upgrading" to Mavericks 10.9 I cannot change the start time on an event. It's not clickable. Only the end time is. If I click the start time nothing happens. If I click the end time I can adjust it easily. What's up with this?

If you give no time it will set to the default start time.
Delete the entry and include your preferred start time.
One short cut is the + in the upper left; include the date and time and event here.

Change Reminder Time for All Day Events

I have a simple question but I have not been able to find the answer anywhere including by searching this forum. On my iphone, the reminder for my all-day events pop up at 6:00 AM. I usually try to sleep until a little later and get annoyed every day whe these reminders wake me up. Can anyone tell me how to change the reminder time for all day events?

One thing that might help.
Find the event on the iphone.
Tap on the event, then tap edit.
Here you can edit the Alert for that event.
If it is a repeating event, it can be set to this event only or to all future events.
However, an alert always comes up before the event is supposed to start.
Hope this helps.

Inkscape 0.46-14 won't maximize under gnome-desktop, metacity 2.28.0

Anyone getting the bug I'm seeing where the recently updated Inkscape won't maximize under Gnome 2.28? Manually resizing can only be resized vertically and not horizontally. Not seeing any error messages when running Inkscape from console.

I'm having a smiliar problem in Flubox with qt4 applications, however not only related to fullscreen.
Even qtconfig-qt4 is broken in its appearance. nVIDIA gfx card here and everything up to date.
Downgrading qt4 package doesn't seem to help
Virtualbox is also broken in its GUI, gives console messages like:
Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
Resource id: 0x0
EDIT: No need saying but No I haven't changed any qt/gtk/whatever configuration in between.
EDIT2: Picture here

My time capsule change the time on ALL my files by one hour.

On the 29th December all the files on my time capsule went out of sync with my mac by one hour. I use it for backup. I have other backups on a Lacie drive and these were all OK but because it went forward in time my syncronise software saw them all as changes and started copying from the time capsule to my iMac. I stopped it and after recovering the damage it had done I proceeded to copy ALL my data back to the time capsule to reset the syncronise error.
Its been OK since then but this morning it all went wrong again. It started by my backup failing because the network share was not accessable so I went into my backup scripts(chronosync) and reselected the backup drive. I then did a trial sync and lo and behold the whole lot is back out of sync again and this time they have gone back in time.
Did we enter British summer time in the middle of winter or did the earth tilt on its access and caused the UK to be in The NEtherlands? Or did Apple do something that I cant resolve.
Anyone else having similar problems? Ive been googling this and thought I had found it by installing Airport Uitlity 5.6 but I cant do that as I have upgraded all my machines to MOuntain Lion and its not compatible. I think on 5.6 you can adjust the time zone setting.
I need to tell the time capsule which time zone it is in and all shoudl be OK

Bob
Thanks for that - Airport utility 5.6 is now working but I cannot see anything wrong. It possibly went wrong on the 29th December and has just gone back to normal again so I think I will have to let the backup recopy all the files.
I looked in the logs and found
No Address for NTP server time.apple.com. and then on Jan 08 at 09:49:38 I got
Clock synchronized to network time server time.apple.com (adjusted +3597 seconds). (thats my hour!!!)
Question no is why - could be a DNS problem but why on the 29th and back on the 8th Jan.
Nothing changed in my network router, maybe something at the ISP.
Anyway now copying all the data back to the time capsule.
By the way I have my DNS as my router 192.168.1.1 and 208.67.222.222 - when I look at my router the DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 which is what my ISP told me to use. Maybe I should put 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 in the DNS for the time capsule?

Can't change alert time for all day event

I have an ipad 4, iOS 6.1.3. When. I set up an all day event and I want to be alerted the day before, the time for the alert is 9am and I can't change it. I went into the settings to make sure there wasn't a default set, and there wasn't. Is this just the way it is and I either take it or leave it? Thanks for your help.

You are correct - you can modify whether to receive an alert for an all day event, and, if so, how far in advance. But once you have chosen to receive the alert the day before the event, the 9AM time is not modifiable. I even checked on iCloud and on my Mac, and the same is true there.
(It turns out that other things that cannot be done on iPad, for example, create a repeating event on, say, the third Tuesday of each month, can be done on the Mac or in iCloud and then will function correctly on iPad.)
Anyway, if you would like to provide feedback to Apple, here's how:

Cannot change delay time for animated GIFs

I just got PSE 6.0 for Mac, and I've slowly been learning how to do what I'd like to with it. I've noticed that there have been some problems with the program, though, such as sudden lockups that make me force-quit. One of my more serious issues involves making adjustments to the delay time in some simple, animated GIF files that I have been working on, using the Save For Web command. For some reason, I can't change the delay time from its default of 0.2 seconds to anything else; the slider doesn't respond when I click on it, nor can I make any direct adjustments in the field itself. In the end, I'm stuck with just that 0.2-second delay. Is this a bug in the program, or am I just missing something?
If this helps, I have created a set of animated GIFs with two layers/frames apiece, looping continuously. The second and topmost layer is asigned a Dissolve filter, and usually left at 100% opacity when I make the final adjustments. The workspace background for each is transparent when I begin.
Oh, also, I am using PSE on an Intel iMac with OS 10.5.6, with 2GB RAM and enough hard drive space to fit everything.

Unfortunately, this is a known bug in PSE 6 for mac:

¿How do you change the time of all images and do the chroma key effect in ¡Movie 10.0.2?

I know it's a simple question, but i had ¡Movie '08 and I bought the latest version, and it's really different, so I don't know, if i have like 150 photos (it's an stop-motion) how can I put the same duration? And do the chroma key effect? And I don't know why, all the images have the Ken Burns effect and I don't know how to quit it. Thanks for the help!
Marcireca

I solved the same time problem, but now the problem is that when i use the chroma key it automatic uses the blue screen effect, not the gren (wich I want). Please help! Thanks!

Cannot change the time from am to pm in Calendar T...

No matter how I try, the time the reminder/alarm just doesn't change from am to pm. Is there some special trick to that?

Once you've entered the time are you pressing the '7' key (with a 'p' on it) to state that the time is pm?
Alternatively, have you tried entering the time in 24-hour format?

Changing photo time stamp

Hi,
I recently got back from Europe and didnt change the time on my camera as I went so when iPhoto sorted the photos it splits the days up by Australian time (the camera was set to this) not the local time of where I was.
Isthere a way of changing the time stamp to -8 hours from the timestamp?
also, can I do an automator action to change the time on all photos by -8 hours to make them correct to where they were taken?
Thanks
Dave

No that is in the image and could only be modified by an image editor - like photo shop elements
also, can I do an automator action to change the time on all photos by -8 hours to make them correct to where they were taken?
Even easier - select the photos and goto the Photo menu ==> adjust date and time

My MacBook w/ OSX 10.6.8 cannot access my external Time Machine Backup USB Drive. It says it is a Read Only drive. When I went to change permissions I found all pernissions were listed as "Custom" and I could not reset them to "Read Write". Any help!

This can be done easily with ethernet.
Please follow the instructions strictly.
To make it easier I want you to do this overnight so you can turn off all your current connection to the internet.
Just go to the airport fan in to the top right and turn airport off.
Get ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the TC lan port.. ie <-> ones.
Press and hold the reset on the TC for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly.
Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup and change the wireless to off. (so other people around you cannot join your network of one).
Ignore all the errors.. they won't stop the backup working.
Go to the TM and reselect the backup target disk as the TC.
It should start after 2min and run through to completion.
That is it.. for a backup of many GB it might take a few hours.. so make sure the laptop has power plugged in and the sleep is off.. (on early ones I think this is needed but I am a late arrival to the scene).. sleep doesn't affect later OS.

I just upgraded my iPad to ios6. Now my Epson iPrint crashes all the time. I called Epson and they had no answer...said to use AirPrint instead. But AirPrint stinks because you cannot change printer settings. Anybody know how to make iPrint work on ios6?

Anybody know how to make Epson iPrint work on ios6? Epson told me to use AirPrint, which stinks because you cannot change printer settings.

Epson needs an update to their app to support ios6. I'm sure they will in time.
Try deleting it and re download it. If that doesn't work, it's what I said above. :(

Changing TimeZone for Calendar object doesnt change its time

Hy, I have a Calendar object with I have set with a Date but I I want from this calendar with the Date set, set other timezone for this calendar and get the corresponding time(always gettting the correct time if is in daylightsavings) but I get the same time.
Calendar calendario = Calendar.getInstance
calendario.setTime(new Date());
System.out.println(calendario.getTime()); *// for example I get the 14:12:25 hours for GMT+01:00*
calendario.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+02:00")); *//change time zone using GMT*
System.out.println(calendario.getTime()); *// I get the same hour: 14:12:25*
Why? How to do it using GMT format?
Thanks

Ok, thanks. The last question, this changing of timezone and the hour I am getting, is respecting the timezone daylight saving?, I mean if the TimeZone I set is in daylight savings, I will get the correct hour according to this?What DrClap said.
However, I think you still may be under some misapprehension about time zones:
1. A Date does NOT have a timezone, even though it stores a date/time value.
2. Setting a Calendar's timezone does NOT change the time stored in the Calendar. You may even need to run its complete() or computeFields() method to have the timezone change reflected in all its fields (not sure).
3. As DrClap said, if you are using a DateFormat to display the Calendar, you need to set its* timezone in order to see what you want (for reason 2 above).
It's amazing to me that after 10 years this API still gives so many problems (and believe me, you're not the only one).
One thing you might also want to do is have a look at [url http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/]Joda Time. It's been around for a long time now, and so is quite mature; and is fully interchangeable with standard Java date/time classes. In fact, many of its ideas were under consideration for Java Version 7 as JSR-310, but were decided against (still not quite sure why, as in my view the current API is very poor).
