Changing date/time format

Hi there,
I live in the United States but prefer my dates to be in the dd/mm/yy format as opposed to the US mm/dd/yy format. I also like 24-hour time rather than AM/PM. I System Preferences>Language & Text>Region, I found the tool to modify my preferred date/time formats. However, I notice that the format of the date in my menu bar does not change (it still reads Sep 25 when it should read 26 Sep). All other dates/times appear to function correctly. I briefly switched the Region of the computer to the United Kingdom but quickly switched it back because of how autocorrect handled words like "color."
Ideas?

That did the trick - sometimes the easiest thing to do is hard to see. Seems I have been working too long on a Windows machine (unfortunately, I have to do so at work)...
Thanks for the quick help!

  • Change date/time format in Screen Shot file name?

    I capture Screen Shots all day long.  But when I go to look for the one I just took, it's not always at the bottom of the list.  That's because Mac names them as e.g.
    Screen Shot 2014-04-29 at 1.19.04 PM.png (and the order gets screwed up).
    Can I change to make save as e.g.
    Screen Shot 2014-04-29 at 13.19.04.png (this way they'll always stay in order).
    Thanks for any help.

    You may have to change system time format globally. Is it worth ?

  • Wmic to change dat time format

    Hi,
    can i change the format to normal date time when query the CreationDate in this line "wmic process where name="ProcessName" get name,CreationDate" i need the script to be in single line and not to run in batch
    THX

    No - all you have to do is add th this bit:
    @echo %xt:~5,2%-%xt:~7,2%-%xt:~1,4%
    Just keep breaking down the string.
    @echo %xt:~5,2%-%xt:~7,2%-%xt:~1,4%
    %xt:~9,2%:%xt:~11,2%
    YOu can extract and place any or all parts.   I just got too lazy to keep counting characters.

  • Change date/time format in XML

    Hi,
    I have changed the date format in KM, by adding 'customFormat=d MMM yyyy HH:mm'in the Additional Metadata field of a property (e.g. app_date). The change is properly displayed in KM Folders.
    However when I change app_date into a custom format and then try to use it in a XML form, it doesn't work. It still uses the general settings, thereby ignoring my additional metadata.
    Does anyone know how I can solve this issue?
    Kind regards,

  • Change Date Time format in Iplanet Access logs

    Hi,
    We are currently using iplanet web server. The default date format in the access logs is dd/mmm/yyyy:HH:MM:SS GMT. How can we change this format to yyyy/mm/dd:HH:MM:SS GMT.

    You should not change this format. The default date format complies with the "common log format" which is readable by many log analysis tools.
    That said, if you still want to change the date format, you can replace %SYSDATE% with %LOCALEDATE% in your flex-init line. LOCALEDATE will cause the WS to use the date format set by your OS.

  • Changing date/time format in mail list

    If listing my mails in the standard view, the date for the received mails shows in the long date format (i.e., Thursday, November 11, 2005). Since I am working on my iBook, I want to show the date in the short format (i.e., 11/11/2005) in order to save space on the screen - some people have long subjects in their mails.
    I have checked out preferences etc, but I could not figure out how to change the format. I do not want to completely hide the date received column.
    Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

    Thanks.

    Adarsh,
    check the below modified one ..
    I have my OLEDB source query as :
    select convert(varchar(10),getdate(),101) as date_var
    My Expression used in the Derived Column part is :

  • Specifying date time format in Finder

    How can I specify the date-time format in Finder for the "date-modified" and "date-created" columns in list view?
    About three years ago, I got a command line instruction to set these formats and I kept it at mm/dd/yy
    Then a couple days ago, I changed the date format in iStat menus and the date-time formats started acting weird. I want the dates to be like "07/08/05" (mm/dd/yy) and then the formats started changing to "November 07, 2008" (month/dd/yyyy). This change seemed to take effect any time I open the view options for a folder. Now I discovered that the date format change depending on the column width according to the format specified in system preferences, international, formats.
    Narrow column, short date format; a little wider to long format, with ellipses if the column is not wide enough; then full format.
    Does anyone know the command line to set the format to keep it to the one I want?

    this doesn't seem to be it. however I now like the way Finder does display dates -- format gets more compact as the width of the column decreases; although there still is some excess space left on the left -- perhaps for AM & PM which I don't use; I use a 24 hour time format instead.

  • Wrong DATE-TIME FORMAT among REPORTS NOTIFICATION EMAILs

    Dear all,
    I create a report request with url
    https://ocixxxx2.oci.xxcl.net/reports/rwservlet?>destype=printer&desformat=PDF&server=rep_xxxxx2_orahome&userid=ixxxxxx/xxxxxxx@saas&notifysuccess=IASL&notifyfailure=IASL&report=R1000R13.rdf&jobname=R1000R13&desname=HPLaserJet4150PCL6
    Email notification was generated with wrong date format .
    It's expected to be in UK English but it shows encoded text , may be random. I route it to another email servers such that find the date time is in chinese characters . That caused problem on original email server in which was not supported
    Could any expert please advice ?
    Warmly
    Edited by: MosielleKwan on 2010年2月26日 下午11:31

    It's indeed an expected behavior.
    When a Reports Server starts on a Windows machine, it likely detect the Windows Regional Settings in order to use it when needed later. This let the Reports Server communicate in the same format/way the Server machine uses. For example, if the System / Application Server administrator prefers to use the Windows (on which the Application Server is installed) with Chinese Regional Options, it is normal that the Reports Server send the Notification Email with a "Date/Time" Format matches the Windows.
    Thence, you like to get English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email, it is required to change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English and restart the Reports Server and restart the corresponding compoent. This will let the Reports Server detect the change and will send the Notification Email(s) then with English/Western Date and Time formats.
    If English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email but still have the Windows Regional Settings set to Chinese, you can implement it
    that :-
    1. Change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English.
    2. Restart the Reports Server and restart others.
    3. Change the Windows Regional Settings back from English to Chinese. .
    With these 3 steps, the Reports Server will keep sending the Notification Emails with English/Western Date and Time format, and maintain original settings.

  • Difference between LV 6.1 and LV 7.0 - Date\Time Format

    I found different behviour of numeric controls in Date/Time format, or
    in "Seconds to Date\Time String" function in LV6.1 and LV7.0
    In LV 6.1:
    Absolute time in seconds is formated in control with date/time format,
    output depends on local time format on computer, where this VI runs.
    So if I start LabView on machine with specific time zone, and for
    example DST on, the output was changed by these settings. ANY number
    of second is handled by this settings.
    In LV 7.0:
    Output still depends on specific time zone, but the use of the DST
    on/off depends on absolute time value. So if the number represents
    absolute time which fits period when DST was off, the output is
    wihtout DST, even if the DST is on when this vi runs.
    The solution in LV 7.0 is much more better than in LV 6.1, but ...
    If data are measured and stored (store of absoulte time DBL) in one
    time zone, and if they are processed in different time zone (for
    exapmle where DST change is in different time), the data
    representation is wrong.
    In LV 6.1 it was not correct too, but anyway there was a way how to
    solve this problem:
    I stored absolute time DBL and GMT delta for every time stamp. When I
    process this stored data on different computer with different time
    zone, I recalculate time stamps in this way:
    absolute time + stored GMT delta - GMT delta of computer where data
    are presented.
    So in final I have correct time does not matter on time zone or any
    other settings which are on computer where are data presented.
    But on LV 7.0, the GMT delta is not constant for every data and this
    algorithm is useless. I can simply show correct time when data are
    from same time zone without any calculation, but it is almost
    imposible to correct show data
    from different time zone.
    My question is:
    Is there any "ini file item", which can tell LabView 7.0 to use time
    representation style as in LV 6.1 ?
    Thank you and best regards
    Jiri Hula

    Thanks for the well written question.
    Unfortunately, there is no ini token or any way of specifying LabVIEW use the LV 6.1 style.
    I am attaching a LabVIEW 7.0 VI that calculates the UTC Offset for a given time value (I don't think the same code would work correctly in LabVIEW 6.1). The VI comments are:
    The attached VI will take Daylight Saving and Time zone into account to compute the offset in seconds from UTC Time to the Local time (as specified by the computer). Note: This VI can aid in converting from Local Time to UTC time, but not in converting from one Timezone to another.
    I hope it helps. Basically, your data is in UTC (absolute time) as it has always been, but LabVIEW 7.0 changed the way it displays the UTC data (trying to be more correct). If you wish to display it the way it was in LabVIEW 6.1, things are going to get a little tricky. LabVIEW 6.1 displayed the same DBL absolute time differently depending on if the current computer time was in DST or not. To get this behavior in LabVIEW 7.0, the equation:
    absolute time + stored GMT delta - GMT delta of computer where data are presented
    is still correct, but for LabVIEW 7.0 the GMT deltas now vary depending on whether the absolute time is in DST or not. It may be possible to convert the GMT offset you have saved from LabVIEW 6.1 into a set or pair of UTC Offsets. This would require a knowledge of what the DST state was for each of the data points in question.
    The DST state or GMT/UTC offset that the computer currently is using may be obtained from the attached VI.
    The absolute time is stored in GMT/UTC so that in different time zones it will still equate to the same time, even though it will be displayed differently. Another data format (such as storing the Hour, Minute, Second, Day, Month, Year; or storing the date as a string) might be more appropriate if the time should be displayed as the same local time regardless of the time zone.
    I hope this helps. Please respond if you have any comments or questions.
