Customize date and time

For some reason, in the Language and Text dialog, Formats tab, when I click Customize, the Show drop down menu is missing.
All I get in the menu bar is the short version "Sun 8:49".
Any idea why that is?
Thanks.

*I get short, medium, long, and full dropdown for both dates and times when clicking on the customize buttons*

i can't make that any plainer. That the Apple support person's machine didn't show it, is mind-boggling. I suggest that you call AppleCare again.

Getting Date and Time to Show in the Menu Bar

I have the OS setup to set the date and time automatically and the clock set to "show date and time in the Menu Bar. I have the international set up for the Day of Week, Month, Date and Year, but the menu bar only shows "Fri X:XX:XX PM" is there any way to get it to show me Fri May XX, 2008 X:XX:XX PM"?
Thanks for any help.

I use iClock too. It is much more customizable than the Time & Date clock provided with the system. I have used it for several years and it has been very stable for a third-party application.
Although I have only used it for a couple of months, I also really like another third-party application you may like, to put weather conditions on the menubar called WeatherDock (freeware). It accesses Weather.com to provide the current temperature (of course) but it can include several other weather conditions (depending on how much space you have on your menubar). In addition to temperature, I have it show the weather condition (currently partly cloudy, typical in Houston), wind direction and speed (I ride a bike to the office and this tells me if I’ll be fighting it or aided), and humidity (also a Houston favorite). It will also speak the weather conditions when they change.

How do you know the date and time synchronization in the windows version?

Where can I see the date and time synchronization?

There's a toolbar button sitting in the Customize Palette. Move that button to a toolbar or into the Open Menu box; when you hover the cursor over that button a tooltip will appear with the day-of-week and the time of the last Sync event.

CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Dear forum,
I am developing a Visual Studio .net 2005 Windows Form,i have a sql table with 2 field:1) DATA (date and time)2) Temperatura (numeric)I have to make a line graph with numeric data axes.I have insert two parameters' to customize the filtering, so i can have a graph of the temperature between to date and time.If i choose two date's and time (parameters) like 20/04/2008 00:00:00 trought 20/05/2008 00:00:00 i have no problemBut if a choose a range minor of 1 day (some hours like from 15/05/2008 00:00:00 trought 15/05/2008 08:00:00) i have no graph.It sound like it don't use the time values?Thank's for the Help.

There is some debugging info on the website. I've had problems getting the text to work. It was generally that I installed either the wrong 'version' of ImageMagick (the recommended one works for me--I'm running Vista x64 and one time installed the x64 version and it didn't work). I also installed Ghostscript to get the font list to work correctly. At one time I installed the x64 version of Ghostscript and it didn't work with the plug-in, either.
I installed two items:
ImageMagick: ImageMagick-6.4.9-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe
Ghostscript: gs863w32.exe
I don't know if it is necessary but I also added the fonts from
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz to the c:\Program Files (x86)\gs\fonts directory. Some, none, perhaps all, may already be installed just by installing ghostscript--it has been so long that I don't remember exactly. I do know that the contents of the gs fonts directory contains all the files in the .gz, I just don't remember if I put them there separately or as part of the gs install :)
You need to make sure the font size is large enough. I usually use about 2-4% of height and export a single photo to make sure I see the text correctly.

Suggested edit to hint: Tip - Date and Time in the Menu Bar

The user tip, located here, massively overcomplicates the procedure for showing the date and time in the menu bar.
The simpler way is to do:
1. Click >System Preferences...>International>Formats.
2. Next to "Dates", click the "Customize" button.
3. Arrange the date the way you want it to appear in the menu bar (don't worry about time at this point).
4. Select everything in the date format box and copy it (⌘C).
5. Next to "Times", click the "Customize" button.
6. Select the "Medium" format.
7. Paste the time format into the box (⌘V), and customize it to appear as you wish.
8. Click OK.
That's it. No Terminal, nothing complicated.

Any chance you figured out how to do this for Snow Leopard?
I did this before, and when i migrated i could see that the change i made in Tiger, carried over, (that is there was a date in my medium clock setting) but it doesn't show in the clock in my menu bar...
Is there a fix?
Maybe Lion will bring this back... or better still offer the ability to put what we want with less complication?

Image date and time incorrect in finder

I just noticed after inserting an SD card in my Macbook Pro the date and times on the images do not match the date and time taken. Taking a new image a few minutes prior to inserting the card, finder sets the time back 6 hours. I've checked the settings on my Fuji XT-1 and also in system preferences and they are the same.
Importing the images into Aperture, the dates and times do match to when the images were actually taken. Any ideas?

Hey Seth, a little late but I hope you're subscribed to this post, I have a lot easier way to do that, no 3rd party.
Open System Preferences then select International, click on format, under Dates section click customize. On the Show line select "medium" and copy the whole line underneath (which can be change by selecting the little white arrows on it), cancel that window to close it. Then on the "Times" section click customize, choose medium from "Show" line and paste at the end on the line, close preferences and voilà!
When you paste, items on the line can be arranged and moved positions at will and change from one digit to two digits format, etc.

Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

Hi there,
is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
Thanks and regards,
Henrique.

Hi there, Moorthy
We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
Thanks a lot,
Henrique.

Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

Hi
I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
Thanks

ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

DVD camcorder (VIDEO_TS) - preserve clip date and time

I had asked this question on the forums a long time ago but iMovie did not seem to be supporting it reliably at the time. But since some time has passed, I wanted to check if iMovie '09 can import clips from a mini DVD (those used in camcorders to capture video directly on to DVD media) AND preserve the clip's date and time.
What I see is that the first clip gets some date and time related to the event's date and time (perhaps the start time of the first clip?) but all the other clips which are imported, get timestamps of 1 second after that first clip's timestamp.
These are all my home videos and in order to keep each clip short, I have had the habit of pausing after about a minute or two, resulting in MANY clips over MANY DVD's, so manually updating date and time is absolutely the last resort.
The DVD player can see the clip date and time correctly, and so could the camcorder (I have since sold the darn thing!) so I know that information exists somewhere in the DVD, but it seems like iMovie is unable to "see" it.
Any help would be appreciated, including programmability hints.

Thank you for your post. I figured out why iMovie was assigning today's date to everything that I imported. It turns out that many of my video files did not have a real "created" date--some had no date at all and some had Wednesday, December, 1967 or 9 (I think). iMovie defaulted today's date in both of these situations. I took your advice and ot A Better Finder Attribute and easily converted all of the files using the option to copy the "modified date" into the "created date" attribute. Now everything imports correctly into iMovie.

How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

How do I delete duplicate songs? (date and time stamp are identical

I put my cd collection in itunes and now have duplicates of most songs (don't know how I did that). The duplicates have the exact same date and time, so the method to delete a "newer" duplicate will not work. Is there a simple way to delete exact duplicates from the itune library?

This application can help. It's US$15. http://dougscripts.com/apps/dupinapp.php

Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
please help!!!!

Need help in using SQL in a jsp file to compare date and time

hi every one,
Actually I am doing a project using JSP. I need to compare a date field in the database (MS Acess) to the current system date and time. I have to do this in a select statement.
I have alredy defined a variable of type Date in the JSP file and I am comparing this variable to the date in the database through a select statemant.
Here is what I am doing
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String myDate=sdf.format(today);
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= "+myDate+" ;";
EDate is the feild in the database and it's format is (5/12/2008 5:29:47 PM) it is of type Date/Time in MS Acess.
when I execute the query it gives the following error
SQL error:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'EDate <= 2008-10-16 08:10:07'.
I hope any one can help me with that error and answer my question, I've tried too many things but nothing helps
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
When the comparision is needed to be done with the current date , we don't need to send in Java
Date then format it and compare with MS Acess Date.
In MS Access we have Date() function which will give you the current date.
So you can try rewriting your query as following :
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= Date() ;"; ---------------------
Hope this helps.
Thanks
