Cannot turn on "Show the day of the week" option in Date & Time

OS X Lion turns "Show the day of the week" option off each time I open that preference pane and after every reboot. My region in Formats tab of Language & Text preference pane is set to "Russia (Russian)". I've noticed that the problem doesn't appear when region is set to US (I didn't try others). Is there any known workaround, except changing my region preference?

Me too.
And I have a workaround, until Фззду fixes it finally:
1) Go to the ~/Library/Preferences, locate a file named com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist, open it with Plist editor (comes with XCode) or just with TextEdit.
2) There's DateFormat key in it, change it to "EEE H:mm", save the file.
3) Now Cmd-I (right click - Get info) on that file in Finder, and check option named "Locked" ("Защита").
System Preferences' Date & Time pane sets the aforementioned DateFormat to "ccc H:mm" when you tick the "Show the day of the week" option, while in Russian locale. And in English it becomes "EEE H:mm". The problem is that Sys.pref and even SystemUIServer (that shows the menu) processes somehow do not like the former value and erase it. After every relaunch of SystemUIServer (after reboot or being killed) tries to change "EEE" to "ccc" again (which would be cleared to nothing next time), that is why you have to lock the plist file.

You can using the following peice of code to get the Day of a Week for the given date :
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current date : " + (now.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1)
     + "-" + now.get(Calendar.DATE) + "-" + now.get(Calendar.YEAR));
//create an array of days
//Day_OF_WEEK starts from 1 while array index starts from 0
String[] strDays = new String[]{"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thusday",   "Friday", "Saturday" };
String day_of_week = strDays[now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - 1];
System.out.println("Current day is : " + strDays[now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - 1] );

Do what you are being told. Plug the phone into a computer running iTunes and restore the phone.

From the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) while using ios5.1 .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?.Which means that is there is any problem in my ipad ? currently running on IOS 6.

Your location is determined from a location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The database is built and updated by actually driving around and mapping router locations.
Since you just moved the location of your router has not been updated in the database and when you use Maps you will see your old location.
If you go outside your house you can be correctly located because your iPod sees other routers which are in the location database. Note that you do not need to be connected to a router for your iPod to see it and obtain its MAC address.

Showing the Date (month & day) in the Menu Bar, Not just the Day of the Wee

Since upgrading to 10.5 from 10.4, I've noticed that the menu bar no longer shows the date (month and day, it just shows the day of the week.
Is there a way to get the menu bar to show the month and day again as it did in 10.4?

Tiger had to be changed in the same way as Leopard.
Start by opening the International Preferences panel, and clicking the Formats tab.
In the Dates section, click Customize. Click the Show pop-up and select your choice of Short, Medium, etc. Now place the elements you want in the small "work area," by dragging and dropping them from the Date Elements section. Once placed, you can click on some elements to see other options (Wednesday or Wed, for instance). Once you've built the date string you want, click once in the work area, and hit Command-A then Command-C to select the string and copy it. Now click Cancel to close the window without making any changes.
In the Times section, click Customize, and set the Show pop-up to Medium. In the small work area below the pop-up, place the curser where you want the date elements to start, and click to position the cursor. Now hit Command-V to paste the elements you just copied. You can further add characters and spaces to customize the look. If you want to remove an element (i.e. the year), click on it and use the Delete key. Click OK, and you'll see the results in the menubar.

My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event. So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow. Why is this happening? It's on my iPhone and iPad.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.

Variable to show ALL days of the month

I have a data provider that looks like this:
OID Name Occurence
1 Lemons 20/10/2009
2 Apples 21/10/2009
3 Pearss 24/10/2009
4 Lemons 20/10/2009
5 Apples 21/10/2009
I want produce a cross tab that INCLUDES the count for each day of the month even if an occurence has not happened on that date:
Date 01/10 through to 30/10
Lemons
Apples
Pears
er how do I do this?

Joe,
Insert an extra dataprovider for all the days in the month with a dummy value. You can then add that dummy value in your
crosstab and hide it.
Cheers,
Harry
PS,
Please post your mesage only once instead of 2 or 3 times.

CVI localtime to get the Day of the Year

I have a vendor supplied driver that needs the day of the year (0-365), minutes, hours, seconds for their board so that it updates itself to the correct time. I am looking at the LabWindows/CVI functions time and localtime to get this information. Those calls are documented in ...\CVI2010\include\ansi\time.h with the code contained within C:\windows\system32\cvirte.dll
when I set up the module within TestStand, I get a message that states:
This function either does not have parameter information in the DLL or user types not recognized by TestStand.
Not a problem. I used the information within time.h to setup the parameters for the function time. That function works fine. The function localtime returns a structure with the individual time elements. I created a Custom Data Type to define the structure. I cannot seem to determine how to define the module for this action so that it will work.
I am including the sequence file, .h file, and the dll to help you understand what I am attempting to acomplish. Perhaps I am not using the correct dll or there is a better option. Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE: I could not attach a DLL so I renamed the extension to LLB. You will need to rename it back to DLL.

Hey Bill,
I think what might be causing issues is that you are calling directly into the CVI Run-Time Engine, which we do not publish an API for and generally do not intend to be called directly from another application. I would recommend creating a simple DLL in CVI to call the functions you want, such as localtime(). This will allow you to use the CVI function panels and other Help resources to correctly configure your function call. You can simply create a wrapper function which calls localtime and returns the value you are interested in. If you build this wrapper code into a DLL, you should be able to call it from TestStand.
I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions about it!

How to display the day of the week?

I can use the TODAY() function to display today's date, and I can format the cell with inspector to manipulate how to show the date, but how can I show only what the DAY of the week it currently is?

The problem with these two responses is that they are language dependant.
It would be useful to add a WEKDAYNAME() function which will return names according to the language in use.
Here is a workaround:
=LEFT(B,SEARCH(" ",B)-1)
It just assumes that B contains a date with dayname at the beginning.

ICal encoding issue? I can't see the days of the week anymore...

I recently upgraded to Mavricks on my MacBook Pro. The first time I got a Google invite, the days of the week and dates turned into these weird "A in a box" characters. Anyone know what gives or how I can fix it? Screen shot below.

Day of the week and the day of the month out of sync

I'm not sure this is the right forum to post this, so I apologize in advance.
When I open iCal on my iPhone 4 in day view I see Oct 29 with a W for Wednesday on top of it although below the days of the month it reads: Tuesday, October 29, 2013.
Is anyone experiencing this problem? Any solution?
TIA

Thanks for replying, ChrisJ4203. It's defintely a problem with Brazilian users. Here's a workaround a countryman posted:
I've managed to fix it:
Go to Settings / Mail Contacts and Calendars / Start the week on
Change from Sunday to Monday.
It appears people in Brazil are the only ones affected.
It's a good work-around while apple does not fix this bug.
Mesmo problema aqui. Como consertar:
Ajustes / Mail contatos e calendários / Iniciar a semana em:
Mude de "Domingo" para "Segunda"
Parece que somente pessoas no Brasil foram afetadas.
É uma boa forma de contornar enquanto a Apple não repara a bug.

How do you set a calendar alarm for a specific time on the day of the event without it being an all-day event

Does anyone know how to set a calendar alert at a specific time on the day of the event.
So that the alert date adjusts accordingly if you were to copy and past it to another date.
The custom alert function kind of does this, but because it is an absolute alert (not relative) it will still refer to the date you initially set it to when you copy and paste it to another date. So this creates more work where you would have to go and manually change all the custom alerts. I have potential
Anyone know how to set this kind of calendar alert?
Thanks in advance

Greetings: Set the alarm to message you (on your screen) and then snooze it every day for 15 days, or, set 15 separate alarm messages. There is probably an AppleScript somewhere on the web too, try searching that way as well.
