Can't get a date on my mac

Hi,The insert date function on my imac now gives [DATE/@M/dd/yy] instead of the date, also all my old dates have reverted to that format?
I think it started about the time I upgraded to Snow Leopard
Any help?

Insert date is normally function of the application inserting dates, not a function of the operating system.  If the application has become outdated (pardon the pun), it may not know how the operating system may have changed its standard.  Check for updates for the said application.  Or see if there a configuration or preference within the application to edit how date fields are added.  The Apple menu -> System preferences -> International may have some date settings too in event the application in question does not have a setting itself.

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

  • My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

    My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
    If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

  • Why the 2LIS_08TRTK extractor can not get  all data

    Hello, BW Gurus.
    Why the 2LIS_08TRTK and 2LIS_08TRTLP extractors can not get all data. I had used the RSA3 and get 10 registers, when a check at the VTTK table I had 20 registers, I didnt use filters at RSA3, could you help to know what happen o correct it.

    Is it because
    <i>
    Shipment documents and their dependent objects (shipment stages as well as shipment items [deliveries in the shipment]) are only extracted into BW when the Shipment completion status has been set.
    This is necessary because the numeric values that result from the delivery documents are only established at the time. If the data were already stored earlier in BW, the shipment data would not be updated if the delivery notes were changed in BW.

    Did you ever sync the iPhone with iTunes, did you ever backed up the iPhone to iCloud?

  • How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

    Hi,
    I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
    Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
    Regards,
    Mutyapu

    You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

    how can I get a date picker or wheel to show up in the form to make filling in a form with a lot of dates more easy?

    There is no built-in date picker available for forms created in Acrobat. There are some third-party solutions involving JavaScript (either a large collection of fields or a custom dialog) though. Also, text fields with date formatting will use a wheel type date picker on Android/iOS devices with Adobe Reader.

  • How can i get the data from database & add them as a link

    Hi,
    how can i get a data from a database(DB2) and that data will be having a file so i should make them as a link.i tried it in jsp .
    <%
    Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
    Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");     
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    Connection conn = null;
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:spintran");
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    stmt.executeQuery("set current schema tut");
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tutorial");     
    %>
    Type Of the Category : &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
    <%
         while (rs.next())
         String desc = rs.getString(1);     
         out.println(desc);
    %>
         <A HREF = "<%=desc%>"><%=desc%> </A>
         <%
         %>
    but it is not working.how can i link.
    thank you.

    what is desc? is it the file name ? whats the data type of desc in db? INFILE?
    if desc is just the name of the file, then make sure that such a file exists in the proper folder.only then the link works..
    that is, if desc is 'a.jpg' then a.jpg should be existing in the same folder as your html is.

  • Lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    iOS devices do backup automatically to iCloud providing:
    iCloud Backup is turned on
    It has a Wi-Fi connection
    It is connected to a power source
    The screen is off
    5GB is plenty of storage for me to backup to iCloud automatically.
    I have a 64GB iPhone & a 128GB iPad both backing up to the same iCloud account and I still have nearly 2GB free.
    This is mainly because media is not backed up and Photo Stream & iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.
