Add date in menu bar

I'm using a 2014 iMac 21.5" 1.4 GHZ Intel Core i5 and would like to add the day and date to the menu bar. Used to have it on my old iMac 17" G5 but don't remember how to set it up again. Miss not seeing them up there and any help would be greatly appreciated,

This is from Mavericks - Yosemite is probably similar. System Preferences>Date & Time:

Time and DATE in Menu Bar

How do you display BOTH the time and DATE in the menu bar?

Greg
Here is one way: Date and Time in the Menu Bar (10.3, 10.4).
If you are not keen on the command line, you could try this from macosxhints: 10.4: Easily add the date to the menubar which I think some people have used successfully.

Cannot display date in menu bar

For some reason, my computer (in OS 10.3.9) will only display the date & time in the floating window (by checking the box to display date & time and selecting the button to display in window thru system preferences), but won't display the date & time in the menu bar (even though it should since the menu bar button is selected in the system preferences).
This seems to be a bug in OS 10.3.9 that has not been fixed yet. Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it?
Thanks

Hi ndl! And Welcome To Discussions!
From March 2006 MacAddict magazine p.56
Open Terminal
At the prompt, type or copy & paste
defaults write -g AppleICUTimeFormatStrings -dict-add 2 "MMMM d, y hh':'mm':ss' 'a"
Press Return
Then type killall SystemUIServer
Press Return again, and your menu bar will disappear.
Click anywhere on your Desktop to reload it.
This setting only affects your User Account; other users on the Mac will not see the change.
To restore your menu bar to normal, repeat the process, omitting the MMMM d, y part in the first Terminal command, like so:
defaults write -g AppleICUTimeFormatStrings -dict-add 2 "hh':'mm':ss' 'a"

Display date on menu bar

I would like to add the date to the day and time display on the menu bar. Is there a way to do this? (I mean on the nenu bar itself - not the pulldown.) This is with OS 10.3.9
Thanks for any help.

Color me confused, and a naive new Mac user (I'm a Solaris / Linux guy by profession, but the FreeBSD under the hood of OS X caught my eye), BUT:
What's up with System Preferences having options TITLED:
"Show Date and Time" "in the menu bar" with a variety of settings - and yet, in NO case does it ever actually display the DATE?? Okay, have it open as a window (or select the drop down), and you can see it, but... c'mon? I thought Apple was all about intuitive and logical UI / feature sets.
I'm just plain confused, by this, as well as the whole "July 17" iCal thing...

Date in menu bar

Not sure why but the date does not show in my menu bar. I've been to System Preferences and selected Show Date and Time in Menu Bar but only the day and time shows, not the date, e.g. April 18. Any ideas?

Yeah, your right. That's a new feature in Snow Leopard. Instead, got to http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatmenus/ and download istat menus.
When it installs in system preferences, disable all the menus except for "Date and Time" By editing the "menubar layout" you get very extensive options for how to display your date and time.

Can you set the 'time, day, AND DATE' in menu bar ?

I note that the DAY and Time are in my menu bar (top line of screen), I would find it more than handy to be able to have the DATE also there , there has GOT to be a simple answer ?????.
I am having fun learning a 'new' (to me) system....the wife is now a computer widow !!!

Click the Time - greyed out date.
Just like a real wife -
they don't tell you everything unless you ask ... in the right way.

Add icons to menu bar in Elements 13

Just watched a video by "Ask Bob" and noticed his PSE 13 window had icons along the menu bar, presumably his most-often used. It's a feature that was lacking in PSE 11 (at least I couldn't find it!), and one I had hoped would be made available in PSE 13, as it is in almost every other program I use. I can't see how to do this, and I couldn't find a reference in the user manual. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this customization - add icons to the menu bar (or somewhere) to accomplish often-used tasks without having to open the drop-down menus.
Thank you.

Hi,
Are these the icons you are talking about?
If so, I think they are MAC icons and not anything related to PSE - like the Windows 8.1 task bar. A MAC user might like to confirm that.

Show long format date in menue bar

how do i get the long format -- i.e., Sat. Mar 5, 08 AND the time -- to show in my menu bar? as the help menu suggested, i pulled up the date and time window and specified the long format in international but the menu bar still only shows Mon and the time but no date. many thanks, steven totosy

Thank you. I will try this method when I have the courage. There was a cut and past technique with time and date in international preferences which I read as a tip which I could easily do with my MacBook Pro but not with my wife's. I can't find that reference now.

Display time AND date in Menu Bar OS X 10.6

Hi All -
When I updated from 10.5 to 10.6 (which went flawlessly), I noticed that the hack that I had used to display the date in the menubar no longer worked. I tried to rehack using the same technique in 10.6 as I did in 10.5 (except instead of clicking on International I clicked Language & Text) but it didn't work.
This is one of the reference sites that has the steps I used.
http://lifehacker.com/316029/display-the-date-on-the-menubar
Has anyone been able to get it to work or have any other workarounds for 10.6?
--Adam

awesome!
thanks this is great. this is new for 10.6
for anyone else thats having this problem, its in the Clock tab in Date & Time. unfortunately you can't customize it as before.

Macbook pro menu bar date

Dumb question for the day. Ready? Is there any way to change the date on my menu bar so that the day/date reads before the month (e.g., 1 Feb instead of Feb 1)? Please help. Thanks! :-)
Dave

Hmmm... tried it myself - it works with the date that appears when you click on date in Menu bar, but doesn't change the date ON the Menu bar.
However, the date on my Menu bar is 1 Feb, not Feb 1, which gave me a clue.
Go to System preferences > Language & region > select region, choose Europe then United Kingdom. Now your date in the Menu bar will be 1 Feb.
However, this may change your other dates to UK format (today, for example being 01/02/2014 as oposed to 02/01/2014 as is normally written in US).
This is the best solution I could come up with!

Managing Menu Bar Items

I've tried to limit the number of apps that have a menu bar presence, and when I work on my home machine with a 20" monitor, I don't have too many problems, but working with my 13" MB at work, most of my menu bar items disappear under the menus of most programs. Even the Finder's menu is beginning to cover up some menu bar icons.
My question is: is there an aggregation app that lets me "stuff" menu bar icons in it, much like (say) Overflow does for the dock? I'd like a single menu bar icon that, when clicked, allows me to access other icons that used to reside on the menu bar, but now don't have to, leaving me with a clearer menu bar and all my menu bar icons accessible.
If something like this isn't available, are there any tricks for dealing with this problem of having too many menu bar icons to access in all programs?
Thanks!

The first trick is to get rid of the 'enhancer' that allows applications to add their own menu bar items to Apple's, if you have any such applications. (See my last post in Seemingly random freezes and general sluggishness for more about the difference between menu & status items & why you should try to avoid non-Apple menu bar items.) This would include any aggregation app -- Apple does not provide this capability for much the same reasons it doesn't provide support for third party menu items.
Aside from that, all you can do without potentially affecting the stability & security of the OS is to turn off the menu icon display for selected Apple-provided menu bar items, & perhaps to use the smallest format for the date & time icon you can live with.

Including Spry Menu Bar

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am new with
the spry menu bar feature in Dreamweaver. I want to include a spry
menu bar that I created into all pages. I believe that you have to
use an include statement and some other things but I am not exactly
sure on how to go by it. Again i want to add a spry menu bar that I
created to other pages on my site. Thanks

You could use server side includes to add it in your page.
Make a main file for your Spry menu.
Than in your pages do the following:
Click on Insert > Server Side Includes, choose the file
you need, make sure the path is relative to Site Root and insert
it.

Spry Menu Bar vs Properties Window

Dreamweaver CS4, Mac OSX 10.6.4
Not sure how I did it, but when I add a Spry Menu Bar from the Insert>Spry>Spry Menu Bar, I first get the correct dialog, asking Horizontal or Vertical (I choose Horizontal), but it comes up with a Menu Bar with Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, and Item 4. (No further dialog shows up, and Properties Window does NOT change)
How does one add a Item 5, or sub-menus???
Every video/help doc refers going to Window>Properties and adding it there. The only problem is, my Properties window looks nothing like the tutorials!!!
Again, once I choose Horizontal or Vertical, the menu appears, but the Properties window does not change.
If I click in the same Frameset pane as the menu I just created, it looks like:
And if I click on a Menu item it looks like:
It is supposed to look something like:
Where the Properties window shows the Menu Bar. How do you get to that?
I've tried reseting Dreamweaver by following the support docs, even resetting the site, and still no luck. The very first time I tried this, the Properties window did show the correct window, but I messed that doc up and trashed it. I tried starting over, and now I have the problem listed above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I assume that you are working in design view in which case you should click the blue part of the menu to get the correct properties window
I hope this helps.

Ben, I would be fine if I just could see that blue area! For some reason it will not come up, and that is my problem! -Bill
