12/24 hour time setting bug!!!!!!

I hope someone can help with this as it is an issue Ive had since the first iPhone.
I want to set the time to 12 hour clock as I don't like the 24 hour setting but when I try to change it the option is grayed out. The only way I can amend this is to set the phones international settings to United States. If I do this then the phone numbers type different to UK numbers. What's even stranger about this is everyone else I have spoken to with a phone can change between 12 and 24 hour easily.
Also I have tried doing a restore of the phone and it still does it.
Can anyone help with this as its very very annoying.
Thank you.

  • 24 hour time setting on 8945

    How do you configure on a Cisco 8945 handset whether it displays the time at the top in 12 or 24 hour format?

    Perhaps dbreplication did not make sure that the 'datetimesetting' tables are matched on the 2 subscribers.
    admin: run sql select * from datetimesetting
    will give you the output for all entries in that table. I would compare the entries from sub1 and sub2. But since sub1 is not reachable you can't compare. There is an entry in that table called 'datetemplate'. This determines the format.
    Can you check this?
    Once sub1 comes back up I suggest a utils dbreplication repair all to make sure all the tables are matched on all the servers. Mismatches can often cause unexpected behavior in the devices.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • Power saver sleep timer setting ignored

    At some point my computer has stopped responding to the sleep timer setting of the energy saver (i.e. the pilot light never goes to fluctuating brightness). I can still put it to sleep manually or via a scheduled sleep time, but it will not sleep after the preset time of inactivity. The display, however, does turn off after the preset time period. I have not added new hardware or software other than the Apple updates. I have tried removing all the USB cables except the keyboard and mouse, but that did not help. Is there some way to identify software that may be causing this problem?

    I have the exact same problem on my Macbook Pro. I spent almost 3 hours with a Genius at my local Apple sore trying to solve this problem. After doing every test he could think of, the Genious decided to compare my computer with others in the store. As it turns out, the sleep timer did not work on any of the store's Macbook Pros, some of the Macbooks, and some of the mac minis. I then realized that my mac started having these problems after i updated to 10.5.2. The Genius thought that this was a bug in the new OS. He filed an official bug report with Apple, and told me to wait for Apple to hopefully fix it in 10.5.3. The new OS had no effect. I think were stuck with what i think is a major bug.

  • 24 hour time format

    Since I upgraded to firmware 1.1.1 my time setting to the 24 hour format is not saving. It reverts to the 12 hour format in the main status bar. Does anyone have any suggestions on keeping the 24 hour format from reverting? Thanks in advance!

    Yep, only noticed this yesterday, tried a whole bunch of things, such as changing setting on Date & Time on the computer, changing International settings, changing the iPhone's "Set Automatically" both to ON and OFF to no avail.
    If you try other things, let us know, I just filed a bug report and I can include more info, there's probably others that have done the same by now and I would think some of the developers themselves might have also caught this, it's a pretty evident one.
    It's a question of personal preference, but since I've used 24-Hour format for so long on everything I can, I can't stand the 12-hour format anymore!
    Hoping for the best

  • How can I make the "add event" dialog in Lightning use 12-hour times?

    The Add Event dialog in Lightning (on an iMac running OS 10.10.2 Yosemite) is displaying 24-hour times in the dropdown boxes. I need these to be in 12-hour format.
    Also, the default calendar needs to be changed. Where are these preferences located?

    I don't know what the acceptable setting values are, but you could experiment with
    ''calendar.date.format''
    in the config editor. '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]'''|Advanced|General→Config editor
    Mine is set to 1 and it's faithfully copying the date/time format I use elsewhere, but that may just be coincidence. But I suspect it is simply the toggle between long and short date formats as offered in the Options GUI for the calendar.
    Bear in mind that all those AM/PM indicators will eat up precious screen real estate.
    Settings for the Calendar are under Tools|Options (on Windows); that'll be Edit|Preferences or Thunderbird |Preferences.

  • 1/2 Hour Time Shift in the Map Module

    A quick search didn't find anything, but this was mentioned on the Lightroom channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I662DDxQQUI).  When working with tracklogs in the map module, LR allows one to timeshift the data to allow for time zone changes between the camera and the GPS receiver creating the log (‘Set Time Zone Offset’ in the Tracklog dropdown menu).  However, some countries like Canada (Newfoundland) and Australia have 1/2 hour time zone shifts as well as one-hour time zone shifts, so it would be a good idea to have the shift broken down into 1/2 hour increments.
    Mike.
    Update: I just had another look at this, and while the slider moves with the mouse in one-hour increments, one can manually type in an offset of whatever time, so 3.5 hours for example is possible.  Never mind!! 
    Leaving this here in case anyone else is wondering...

    Check if "Time Zone Support" is turned on. If it is turn it off.
    Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support (down at the bottom).
    When this feature is on it displays even dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars. This must be 2 hours difference in your case.

  • The date and time setting go crazy[SOLVED]

    Hello,
    Each time, I boot up the time setting changes. Sometime two hours behind, sometimes five. Even if I set the time and date by using the "date -s" command or kde time setting feature when reboot the time changes.
    Any idea how to fix this for good?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for all the suggestions.
    This what happened. From some strange reasons the system clock setting and the distro setting were different. The bios clock was two hours before the distro clock. I adjusted the bios clock to real time—to correct time thinking this will set the disto time to the correct time too. Rebooted and I was put on the commandline with an error message:"superblock last mount time Thu Nov 19 11:41:29 2009, now=Thu Nov 19 10::53:27 2009 is in the future"
    Then I entered the root password and did a "fsck" and rebooted. It booted up fine
    but the distro time setting was still wrong. Rebooted again and checked the bios clock and it was reset to the distro clock. Both were wrong but at least have the same settings. Then I boot up again and set the time to the right setting in KDE. Rebooted and checked the bios clock which was adjusted to the distro setting—in other words to the correct settings. Now the time is ok. So it seems that the bios setting depends on the distro setting. I thought it was the other way around.
    My computer is relatively new, 2 years old, so I dont think this was a battery problem. Also, I have other distros installed and I haven't experienced these kinds of problems with those distros.
    Lately, I experimented with a few distros on different partitions, and what I am suspecting is that those might reset the bios clock which caused the inconsistencies in Kde.

  • Problems with the time setting. help please

    i have the time set on my ipod touch by the city i live. the time will be right for a couple days, but then it becomes an hour behind. how does that happen or how can i make that not happen?
    can anyone please help me?

    I'm having same problem too.  Has happened 3-4 times now.  Can't figure out what causes the time to change to random time. At one point I thought it was caused by my leaving my calendar at a previous date or appointment, but really don't think so.  I have a Verizon - iphone 5.  I would think that the time would come from Verizon. Not Apple.  But no one else is talking about it.  Anyway, you're not alone )c:   Turning it off and then back on is fine HOWEVER, last night it changed time to 2 or 3 hours EARLIER so my alarms were screwed up!  I asked Siri "what time is it" and she must get her information from the iphone settings. So... she gave me the WRONG time also.  Sad.  1st time it happened, it was actually Sunday 8:03 AM PST and iphone showed 11:38PM.   This morning, not only was the time wrong, the date was  last Tuesday, 9/26/12!  Not funny when we all depend on our calendars and appointments that are set on each day.   Other times, I just reset it and will wait for someone to fix the problem.  I love the iphone 5 though!  Nice and light (I'm a runner). It replaced a 4. Loved that one too, but new iOS6 is WAY FASTER!  Love it to pieces! 

  • 24-Hour Time Display not allowed

    Why on my iphone in settings>general>date and time. Is the 24-Hour Time slider (on|off) greyed out, and i can only display 24hour time format at the top of the iphone? I like am/pm display

    b_behringer wrote:
    24 hour is the only available setting in the UK right now. Why? No idea.
    Are you inferring that there are multiple versions of the system software available (not firmware) for UK iPhones vs. US iPhones? If this is the case, this is a nightmare waiting to happen.
    Can you imagine a 3rd version of the software for Germany a 4th version of the software for France, etc., etc.

  • Time setting

    I can't set the time correctly on my new iMac.
    The time at the top right of the screen is exactly 12 hours behind where it sould be.
    I've tried opening the Time and Date setting box. When I open it the time zone is not selected and the "Closest City" setting is set to "GMT". I try to select my closest city as Sydney Australia and it selects OK. When I go to the "Date & Time" tab the time is now correct. However the time at the top of the screen is still wrong. I tried locking the settings to prevent further changes, but when I close the box, the time is still wrong on the top of the screen. If i then re-open the "Date & Time" setting preference box, the time is back to 12 hours behind and the time zone is back to GMT - which is no zone selected.

  • Outlook 2013 calendar shows 24 hour time when hovering mouse over appointment

    Strange thing is, the computer is not set that way and the calendar's appointments show 12 hour time except when I hover the mouse over the appt. This is Outlook 2013 with Exchange/ Office 365.

  • Extendscript Time Value / AEGP Time Values BUG

    There is a fairly annoying bug (?) in Extendscript that I am hoping to rectify by starting to dig into the C++ SDK and hopefully solve using a hybrid extension.
    Here is the bug:
    I have manually set my frame count to start from 0 in my Project, as per my facilities specs. This is so our timecode from the client stays correct to theirs, however while we like to start the count from 0 we like to have our master comp set to start at frame 1;
    So the comp is set to 1.
    For reference this comp is set to 29.97
    If I query currentComp.displayStartTime I get:
    0.03336670003337
    One frame in, in seconds.
    If I query currentComp.frameDuration I get (drum roll):
    0.03336670003337
    One frames length in seconds.
    So to programmatically set it in the future the code should be:
    currentComp.displayStartTime = currentComp.frameDuration;
    If I query displayStartTime after setting it, I get:
    0.03336669877172
    So, it seems the JavaScript doubles are becoming Floats somewhere where it talks to the AE engine.
    Why this is a gnarly bug, sometimes running this sets the start time to 0 (depends on the frame rate, 29.97 goes to 0, 23.976 goes to 1)
    I have seen fixes like add (1/1000) to the value to nudge it just over the edge. While this gets numbers I want it seriously breaks rendering. If I submit to royal render it will render from frame 0 (a grey frame) and then try and (usually crash) the remaining frame except for the last frame, all the while struggling to split the comp between machines. So I actually do need the setting to be as accurate as the getting WITH NO fudging. (why can't we script with INTEGER frames ffs!?)
    I would love to fix this without C++ but have had no luck.
    Why C++ seems to be answer:
    It seems the floats are quantized to certain step values in the C++ side of things. (See time_scale and time_step)
    Before I commit to having no life and woodshedding some C++, does anyone have a fix for this? Can I pre-quantize the floats in AE and set that? Can I X-Post to the scripting forum?

    While interesting to note that compObj.time returns the correct value and lands on the whole frame I still do not see how this fixes my problem.
    Take this simple code, comp is 29.97 and set to start at frame 1 manually when first run.
    var currentComp = null;
    var currentComp = app.project.activeItem;
    $.writeln("######################################");
    $.writeln("Current display start time: " + currentComp.displayStartTime);     //this is the result from Manually setting it
    $.writeln("Current frame duration: " + currentComp.frameDuration );            //this is how long one frame lasts
    $.writeln("Current comp time: " + currentComp.time);                                   //this is 0 since my cursur is at the start of the comp
    currentComp.time = currentComp.frameDuration;                          //move the cursor one frame in capture the time value there
    $.writeln("Current time 1 frame in: currentComp.time);                    //this is the value that comp.time returns at frame 1
    currentComp.displayStartTime = currentComp.time;                    //set display start time to the value of currentComp,time
    $.writeln("AFTER SWAP: " + currentComp.displayStartTime);     //#$@#@! happens here anyway
    output:
    Current display start time: 0.03336670003337
    Current frame duration: 0.03336670003337
    Current comp time: 0
    Current time 1 frame in: 0.03336670003337
    AFTER SWAP: 0.03336669877172     <--- until this returns the identical value not sure what to do.
    It doesn't seem to me, unless I'm missing something, that it matters where I get an accurate number from, AE is unable to accept that value as an input for Comp Display Start Frame.

  • 24 or 12 hour time format

    Hi
    Is it possible to check whether the iPhone is set to display 12 or 24 hour time format?
    I tried checking this by using the NSDateFormatter AMSymbol, but it always seems to return "AM", no matter what time format or locale I have selected on the device.

    I don't know of any way to read any of the system settings directly, but this code is sensitive to the system 24-Hour Time switch:
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
    [dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
    NSString* currentTime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
    label.text = currentTime;
    [dateFormatter release];
    For some reason I also can't find any NSDateFormatter property that knows about 24-hour time(?!). I probably just need to look harder, but if nothing else, I think you could reliably detect that format by checking for AM/PMSymbol with rangeOfString.

Maybe you are looking for
