How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

pierre
I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

How can I change the date format?

How can I change the default date format for all date fields in Oracle CRM OD? Currently it is set to the US format of MM/DD/YYYY.
I would like to spell out the month, e.g. October 6, 2010, in order to avoid confusion between US and international date formats.
For example 11/6/2010 means October 6, 2010 in US but it means 11 June 2010 internationally. Having a global team, this is causing problems for us.
Georgi

Georgi, the company profile has a Default Locale. Also each user can have their Locale. The US format of MM/DD/YYYY can not be changed to October 6, 2010 as an example.
I would recommend that you submit a enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.

How can I change the date format in a Numbers table?

I have selected all of the cells in a date column, opened the Inspector and selected the Date & Time format, selected the date & month format butb the cell date does not conform to this format. Instead I am getting the month, day, year, and time.
Stu

Stu,
In order for Numbers to format the date it must already be a valid date. If you post a screenshot we can see that the dat is valid.
Make sure after you enter the date that the date ends up being right justified AUTOMATICALLY. If the date is NOT valid, Numbers interprets it simply as text which it leaves left justified

How can I change the date format to International (Europe, Asia, etc)?

I am currently in Japan and would like to change my iPod's date format to an International format instead of the default American format. I have tried changing my mac's regional setting to Japan, UK, France and my iPod still displays the American date format. The interesting thing is that my mac correctly displays the date format in day-month-year format.
I would be most grateful for any suggestions offered as I would like to get my iPod to correctly display the date. I had to manually set the iPod to the 24 hour clock. I am reasonably comfortable using the command line in a terminal.

Change the date format

By default the component <af:selectInputDate> shows the client machine's date format when the image is clicked. How can we change the date format of the same irrespective of the client machine's date format
<af:selectInputDate accessKey="D" label="From Date:" readOnly="yes"
value="#{EvalBean.fromDate}"/>Also
1. How can we validate the date range also?
Eg: From Date should not be greater than To Date
2. Should not allow the user to select Date (From Date or To Date) greater than today's date.
Uday

If you want to do it at the page level you can use the
<f:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/> jsf converter inside your date field
and also the af:validateDateTimeRange tag to limit the date range.
If you don't want to do it in every single page and you are using the ADF Model layer for binding you can define a control hint on your date field that specify a format mask. You can also add a method validator to your date field to verify the range.

How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9. Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order. How can I change the date format to year/month/day? Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time! Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. System information:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Service pack : Service Pack 3
Memory: 1.5 GB
Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
Max. clock speed: 1.86
Manufacturer: IBM
Model: 1847W76
System language setting: English (United States)
User language setting: English (United States)

I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
exit;
$mydir = $ARGV[0];
chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
@allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
if ( -d $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a directory";
  if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
   print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
   $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
   print "$newname\n";
   rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
  else {
   print " but is not of the proper format\n"
elsif ( -f $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a file\n";
else {
  print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
}

How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.
