How do I set a time zone not in the standard list?

I would like to set my time zone to Lord Howe Standard TIme(LHST), which is GMT +10:30hrs. How do I do that? How do I check that the standard time servers know when to change for daylight saving time?
Regards, Rob

I did warn you about this ("This change will not show up in the Menu Bar clock until you have logged out and back in"), although when I did it the change was reflected in System Preferences immediately. To reset the clock without logging out,
killall SystemUIServer
You can do this while you are still root, i.e. before the exit statement, or after it.
2. Lord Howe is the only place listed in the "closest city" list
Well, that's because it isn't in the Preference Pane's list of places so it cannot compute distances.
3. If I click anywhere on the world map, the time zone changes to whatever I clicked on and I have to follow your instructions, then log out and in again, to get back to Lord Howe time
The obvious answer is don't click on the map!
I can't understand why Apple hide this stuff. I think there should be a way to manually set the time zone offset as well as daylight saving start and end dates - we aren't all idiots. At the very least they should make all the time zones in the zoneinfo directory available, perhaps under a checkbox marked "rare zones" or similar.
Well, I suggest you send Apple Feedback about this.
Thank you all for your efforts, if anyone can solve the issues above I'd be very grateful.
Actually the changes to add Lord Howe are relatively trivial, if you know what you are doing. One complication is that "Lord Howe" would have to be added as a localizable string: don't know what might happen if it were missing. I'll play around some more, but don't hold your breath!

ICal events are displayed in the local time zone, not at the time they are supposed to be

When I enter events in iCal (or in my iPhone calendar), they always display at the time for the zone that I am currently in, even when they occur in a different time zone. For example, if I have a lunch scheduled at 12 pm Monday in Vancouver, I want to see that I have something scheduled at 12 pm on Monday, even if I am in Hong Kong. But even if I have time zone support enabled, the event appears at 4 am Tuesday. This makes it hard to look at the calendar and know what events I have scheduled for what times when I am doing a lot of travel. Is there anyway that I can get the event to show up at 12 pm on Monday no matter where I am in the world?
Thanks

This means you're still using Flex 1.5 as your runtime. SAP has introduced Flex 2 RT on SP14 patch 1 onwards. There were a lot of bug fixes and also several new functionality introduced there. I suggest you consider upgrading to the latest SP. Note that you can upgrade VC apart from the portal (only 3 SCAs to deploy) so this means you don't impact the portal itself and continue to have an up-to-date version of VC.
If you want to solve your problem, I suggest you open a support ticket at SAP and once they see this, they'll let you have those SCAs.

How do you set up a custom color for the standard screen mode

This new colour scheme has not enough contrast for it to be readable, so I was pleased to find custom screen mode. However, there seems to be no way of setting up a custom color for this. In addition, the icons are so small they are unreadable. Is there any way of making them bigger. I have a 20" and a 22" monitor working together, but they are still not clear enough to use.

Hi there
Are you referring to the tool icons in Photoshop CS6? There are a few options you can change to help make the interface more readable, but unfortunately, there is not an option to enlarge the tool icons.
It sounds like you may have discovered this already, but if you go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface, you can change the color of the Photoshop CS6 interface.
You can also enlarge the UI text size in this same window, in the Text preferences box.
You can also make the size of your layers thumbnails larger. You can do this by clicking on the small menu in the upper right hand corner of the Layers Panel and selecting Panel Options.
Here you can change the size of the layers thumbnails.
I hope this helps you out a bit!

How to set a time zone in Agentry.ini

Hi All,
I am working on Syclo - MRS integration. We assign a service order in MRS which is in (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh .
When the Syclo client downloads the service order it is in a different time zone and it displays the time according to their time zone.
Which creates a mismatch in the assignments.
I have modified the time zone in Agentry.ini to pick the time (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh. but this is not working.
Can you please check the Agentry.ini or suggest how to set this.

Hi Neha,
The [TimeZoneAlias] section should have all the mobile device time zone in it. The spelling has to be exactly what is seen on the mobile device. The Mobile Device timezone transmits to the Agentry Server , it maps based on what the server understands, then transmit back to the Backend.
Eg:
[TimeZoneAlias]
Australian Eastern Standard Time=(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
India Standard Time = (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi"
Note: Agentry server while adjusting the timezone gets the list of timezones from Windows registry. It was found that some of the timezone settings may not be recognized by the Windows OS in the server. Please verify the same.
Modify your Agentry.ini to include the exact spelling of your mobile device time zone alias plus the corresponding equivalent as understood by the Agentry Server. I am also attaching the official KBA note tied to Time Zone Alias.

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?

How to set DST/time zone consistently?

I'm using several laptops and a desktop Mac (10.6 all) with Outlook 2011 to access a calendar on an Exchange 2010 server (SP1 I think). I see the following weird behavior. For some (not all) yearly calendar entries, like birthdays, which are set to be "whole day" (which then has the time grayed out as 12am), every once in a while they get automatically changed to last 2 days, and the grayed out times say "8pm to 8pm". I change it back (hit "edit series", and the dates are still grayed out, so I have to change Recurrence to "once only", change the date back to be just the 1 day, and then set it to repeat yearly, and click "all day event" off and back on for the 8pm to change to 12am), but some time later I look and it's back to lasting 2 days! Apparently this has to do with time zone and DST info being different on various clients. I posted on the Microsoft forum and was pointed to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1638
So now I'm trying to set consistent Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone on my laptop, desktops, iPhone, and iPad. I think I'm missing something because it's still happening.
On my iPhone, in the Date&Time preferences, it says time zone is "New York"; in Calendar preferences, it says Time Zone Support is set to Boston. In Outlook, it says "UTC-05:00 Eastern Time US & Canada". Is this all correct? Where, on all these devices, do I set the time zone and DST so that it's all consistent?

Time Zones not correctly converted in iPhone Calendar

Problem with recurring meetings that were scheduled by a meeting organizer in a different time zone than my "home" time zone (as configured on the iPhone time zone support).
I am unable to sync or connect directly to my corporate Exchange Calendar due to strict corporate security settings. However, I am able to publish my calendar from Outlook 2007 to the internet. I am publishing my calendar to Office Live. I can then subscribe to my Office Live calendar from the iPhone (3Gs iPhone OS 3.1). Single occurrence meetings seems to translate time zone information fine. In all cases (single or recurring from any time zone) show up fine when I view them via Office Live and/or Outlook 2007.
The problem is the recurring meetings that were originally scheduled in a different (than my "home" time zone that I have configured on my iPhone Calendar time zone support settings) are showing up in the iPhone Calendar incorrectly. A meeting scheduled for 10:00 AM CST is showing up in my iPhone at 10:00 AM PST instead of 08:00 AM PST. I tried turning off time zone support on the iPhone but it didn't make any difference. I believe that setting is really only for meetings scheduled from the iPhone. The setup I described above is a read-only setup from an iPhone perspective.
Interesting that single occurrence meetings work fine... Is this just a bug in the iPhone Calendar app or issue with the way Microsoft represents time zones in recurring meetings?
I should also note that the iPhone Calendar also appears to have problems when a single occurrence of a recurring meeting is changed as well.

How about putting together the information about this nasty bug at a single place in this forum?
I recommend this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2213281&tstart=0

Synchronize system time and set system time zone in SAP

Hi,
How to Synchronize system time and set system time zone in any SAP system?

Nabarun -
Setting of the system time may be different depending on your enviroment and systems. (Windows, AIX, etc)
Windows enviroment you can use a time server or net time command, I believe its simialr with UNIX but I do not know that command.
Setting the time zone in SAP is done through the IMG in client 000. You can get there with transaction SPRO.
Once in the IMG, navigate to:
SAP Netweaver
General settings
Time Zones
Maintain Time Zones (here you can define the time zone settings/rules)
Then go to:
SAP Netweaver
General settings
Time Zones
Maintain System Settings
There you can change the time zones for the system.
Hope this helps.

Zecher

How can I set my time capsule to back-up only once a day?

How can I set my time capsule to only back-up once a day. It appears to be backing up several times a day. Not sure there is a set schedule for the back-ups and they take a great deal of time; over an hour each.

Then something is wrong. Changing the schedule will only deal with the symptom (and give up one of the better features of Time Machine's usually quick and unobtrusive hourly backups).
See if the size of the backups makes sense, considering what you've changed since the previous one. If it seems much too large, that may be the problem. See #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for some common culprits and ways to see just what's going on.
If the sizes seem reasonable, see #D2 in the same link for things that can cause extra-slow backups.

How do I set user time limits on a guest network?

How do I set user time limits on a guest network AirPort Time Capsule?

It is not possible to set up specific time limits for the Guest Network as a whole, but it is possible to set up individual time limits for each device that will be connecting to the Guest Network.....and, also the main network for that matter.
If you can provide us with some more specifics on what you are trying to accomplish, how many devices will be involved, etc.......that will help us craft our answer to provide accurate information.
Meanwhile, if you want to take a look at the general settings in Timed Access....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the screen
Enter a check mark in the box next to Enable Timed Access
Click on the Timed Access button
Click Cancel to avoid making any changes to your current setup

How do i set my time capsule up to function as an external hard drive

How do i set my time capsule up to function as an external hard drive? Is this even possible? I had a friend tell me it woudl be a good set up to get a time capsule with my Macbook Air to use as a gigantic external hard drive but then was unbale to wlak me through the setup after I bought the equipment. Any suggestions?

It depends on what you already have equipment wise..
Just bridge the TC..
I cannot walk you through it either if you use v6 airport utility.. due to my refusing to run Lion until it gets network issues sorted.
Download and run the real utility http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to manual setup..
Internet tab
Connection sharing.. select off bridge mode in the drop down box.
You can then if you like turn off wireless under airport wireless.. The TC is now a plain network client with hard disk.
Personally I would keep the wireless on but sort the channels manually if you already have a wireless AP or router.
