Date and Time coruption...

I'm getting a lot of system hanging (beachball) when I access the date and time preference pane on my MacBook Pro. If I wait long enough I don't have to force quite the system preferences. It's hanging for about 30 seconds.
I switched to another user account and everything works fine.
I've tried trashing all the preferences. I think it might be affecting iPhoto as well. I used photo sharing to imported a bunch of photos from a trip to my G5 from the MacBook and all the time stamps were changed. I recently moved to the UK and I think it is no coinsidence. The photos were cahnged to a date/time stamped 5 hours too early. But the camera and the G5 and the MacBook Pro were all set to the correct UK time zone before I took or transfered any pictures.
I'm looking for the correct file to trash to get my MacBook's date and time working. I know it's specifc to my user acount on the MacBook because, as I said, the other user accounts have responsive date and time panes.

Try moving these two to the Desktop, restarting, and try the prefPane again:
com.apple.recentitems.plist and com.apple.systempreferences.plist
I do know that those settings (at least for time zone) are stored in
/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences which is an invisible file. See the discussion in the tread Global Date & Time Settings

Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

Hi there,
is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
Thanks and regards,
Henrique.

Hi there, Moorthy
We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
Thanks a lot,
Henrique.

Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

Hi
I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
Thanks

ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

DVD camcorder (VIDEO_TS) - preserve clip date and time

I had asked this question on the forums a long time ago but iMovie did not seem to be supporting it reliably at the time. But since some time has passed, I wanted to check if iMovie '09 can import clips from a mini DVD (those used in camcorders to capture video directly on to DVD media) AND preserve the clip's date and time.
What I see is that the first clip gets some date and time related to the event's date and time (perhaps the start time of the first clip?) but all the other clips which are imported, get timestamps of 1 second after that first clip's timestamp.
These are all my home videos and in order to keep each clip short, I have had the habit of pausing after about a minute or two, resulting in MANY clips over MANY DVD's, so manually updating date and time is absolutely the last resort.
The DVD player can see the clip date and time correctly, and so could the camcorder (I have since sold the darn thing!) so I know that information exists somewhere in the DVD, but it seems like iMovie is unable to "see" it.
Any help would be appreciated, including programmability hints.

Thank you for your post. I figured out why iMovie was assigning today's date to everything that I imported. It turns out that many of my video files did not have a real "created" date--some had no date at all and some had Wednesday, December, 1967 or 9 (I think). iMovie defaulted today's date in both of these situations. I took your advice and ot A Better Finder Attribute and easily converted all of the files using the option to copy the "modified date" into the "created date" attribute. Now everything imports correctly into iMovie.

How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

How do I delete duplicate songs? (date and time stamp are identical

I put my cd collection in itunes and now have duplicates of most songs (don't know how I did that). The duplicates have the exact same date and time, so the method to delete a "newer" duplicate will not work. Is there a simple way to delete exact duplicates from the itune library?

Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
please help!!!!

Need help in using SQL in a jsp file to compare date and time

hi every one,
Actually I am doing a project using JSP. I need to compare a date field in the database (MS Acess) to the current system date and time. I have to do this in a select statement.
I have alredy defined a variable of type Date in the JSP file and I am comparing this variable to the date in the database through a select statemant.
Here is what I am doing
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String myDate=sdf.format(today);
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= "+myDate+" ;";
EDate is the feild in the database and it's format is (5/12/2008 5:29:47 PM) it is of type Date/Time in MS Acess.
when I execute the query it gives the following error
SQL error:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'EDate <= 2008-10-16 08:10:07'.
I hope any one can help me with that error and answer my question, I've tried too many things but nothing helps
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
When the comparision is needed to be done with the current date , we don't need to send in Java
Date then format it and compare with MS Acess Date.
In MS Access we have Date() function which will give you the current date.
So you can try rewriting your query as following :
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= Date() ;"; ---------------------
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Work Status Report Date and Time Setting

Hi all
We are running BPC10 on servers configured with Central European Time which is currently 2 hours ahead of GMT allowing for Daylight Savings Time.
From what i can see in BPC10 date and times are now stored in GMT (Zulu time) in the Audit activity tables so when a user updates the work status at say 11:00AM local CET time then a value of 09:00AM GMT is stored in the Audit Activity Header table.
We have a report in excel that uses the EVLCK formula and will return the correct value of 11:00 am however if we run the Work Status Audit report on the Planning and Consolidation home page with user preferences set to Central European Time +1 then the time is displayed as 10:00am suggesting that daylight savings time is not accounted for. We need to set the time to Eastern European time +2 hours to display the correct figure.
Can anyone explain why this happens? Has DST been overlooked?
Rgds
Alan

Hi Alan,
probably it's a bug, I think it's better you open an OSS message to SAP.

Date and time field help

Hey guys and gals,
I'm working on a basic simple form that I'd like to use as a fax cover sheet and I'm brand new at this and I just can't find the answer anywhere. The only way I can get it to show the date and time is if I choose calculated - read only, then runtime property. But then it changes every time you open the document. It doesn't autofill the date and time any other way. Is there a way to make the date and time auto fill ONLY the first time you fill it out and then lock that field? Or do you just have to choose one of the other options, i.e., user entered - optional, recommended or required and then type it in? Which I don't really get either, because those just give you a blank field that you type in. I don't see the difference between those options and a text field. I thought maybe I could upload the pdf to show you, but I guess you can't do that here. Anyway using Acrobat 9 pro on Vista.

It sounds like you're using LiveCycle Designer, not Acrobat, to create the form. If that's the case, you should post this question in the LiveCycle Designer forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es

APPLE TV 2 HD model and updated to latest version 6.1.1 since doing that it won't set date and time and tells me my Apple ID and password are incorrect and I know there not. What do I do?

It connects to internet fine. I have tried restoring back to factory condition and hard wire update by connecting it to my Mac mini .
The date and time won't set. And won't acknowledge my Apple ID and password......... I am usually tech savy but this has caused me grief .
Do I need to downgrade my update....
But can't get any menus until I log in my apple account...
It can't log into my iTunes account until time and date have been set.
When I did the hard wire restore connected to Mac mini it wouldn't go past the date and time screen as it wouldn't when I did the wifi update too.
it just would get past that screen.
Anyone help!!

This is the result of a network issue. Ensure port 123 on the router is open.
