Date format in different from System Preferences

The date display in the top right corner of the menu bar is not according to the custom setting I have defined in System Preferences.
In Language & Region, I defined the date format to be <day of month number> < name of month> <year>.
The menu bar however displays the date in American style date format of <name of month> <day of months number>.
Is there any way to have Numbers pick up the date format from Language & Region as defined in System Preferences?

Can't load Network Settings from System Preferences

For some reason I can't load Network Settings from System Preferences anymore - it just stalls with the bar showing "Loading Network" and doing nothing. This is happening in conjunction with a new inability to connect to a network printer - it won't show up on the list of printers, even when I manually enter the IP address. Something is obviously mucked up - can anyone tell me what it might be & how I can fix it? Thanks!

I was able to fix this myself by using one of the techniques suggested here for a different problem. Basically I went into Library/Preferences/System Configuration and deleted networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist & com.apple.nat.plist. All were rebuilt when I restarted and went to System Preferences/Network and I was able to load the Network Settings. This didn't fix the problem with my printer, but at least it got the settings up.

Can't modify Mavericks iCloud settings from System Preferences or connect Mail to iCloud

I tried Keychain for the first time the other day, went away for the weekend and forgot my master password #*#@$!
In the process of trying a few different fixes I've changed my Apple ID password. Most things are working well.
I can log in to iCloud via a browser using my Apple ID & new password. I can also log in to itunes using the new password.
When I select iCloud from System Preferences and purposefully enter a wrong password, it tells me 'Incorrect password' in red font. But when I enter the correct password, it is not rejected but the 'Enter Password' option remains on display and all the iCloud options/checkboxes remain greyed out.
In Mail, there is an error symbol against the iCloud inbox. When I click on the error/circle symbol I am told 'Mail can't connect to the iCloud account "iCloud" ' and am requested to enter the password, which I do but with no effect.
Contacts has a similar problem and displays an error circle next to the iCloud account list, as does Calendar.
Any ideas out there? Please help me!!
Is there any way to use Time Machine to revert to earlier settings?

If you are running Mt. Lion download and apply the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.2 (Combo). It includes the iCloud preference pane for the System preferences.
If you're running Lion then download and apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) as it also includes the iCloud preference pane.

Shopping cart Creation Time is different from system time

Hi ,
Shopping Cart Creation Time is Different from System time.
Could you tell me,        to which time it is refering to.
How to change it.
Create By is      webseruser
Where can I find the required settings for the same
Thanks In advance

Hello,
Are you checking this in BBP_PD?
If you go to SU01 and check parameter "Personal Time Zone" -> "of the user", this time will appear to end user when creating document (document header in web).
                                                                                If you do not have informed any value, it will be populated the pattern system timezone, defined in SU01 as well.
                                                                                - I created a RFX in my test system with a user who's timezone (in tx SU01) is set as:
Sys. Time Zone     CET
of the User        INDIA
- CET time was 20:01:55
- GMT time was 18:01:55
- India time was 23:31:55
Looking at this RFX in BBP_PD I see the following:
Same user (India timezone and CET as "Sys. Time Zone"):
Created_At: 20:01:55
Changed_at: 20:01:55
DETAILS (header):
Created at: 18:01:55
Changed at: 18:01:55
RFX header (description): 23:31:55
So, for end users, you should populate field "of the user" in SU01.
In BBP_PD header details, you will have the GMT time (which is stored in internal tables).
In BBP_PD created_at and changed_at you will have the system time zone, as defined in SU01.

Ricardo

Bluetooth vanished from system preferences

Today my system seems to have forgotten that it has bluetooth hardware. The OS doesn't see it. In fact, the bluetooth panel has vanished from system preferences.
So far I've...
reset the PRAM
reset the SMC
tried to delete com.apple.bluetooth.??? (but it wasn't there)
deleted com.apple.preferencepane.cache
No luck - stil no BT.
What should I try next?
system: 2010 mbp 15" i7 2.66 with hi-res anti-glare, running 10.8.2
Thanks a lot for your wisdom...

Has the black barrel by the hinge of the LCD been damaged or exposed to liquid recently?
Bluetooth is not intergrated, just a chip swap. Sadly, its in barrel

Is iCloud the only thing missing from System Preferences?
If, while in System Preferences, you click View -> Customize does it show up then?

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go...
I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

HT4901 iCloud app can't be launched from system preferences.

iCloud app can't be launched from system preferences and screens an error to be reported to Apple:
Process:         System Preferences [408]
Path:            /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences
Identifier:      com.apple.systempreferences
Version:         11.0 (11.0)
Build Info:      SystemPrefsApp-214009000000000~8
Code Type:       X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [134]
The rest of apps can be openned but not iCloud. I have tried to log in into iCloud from the web and my iPhone and it works fine.
Any help on how to solve this problem from the macbook?
Thanks

Does it open in the guest user? If it's not enabled, you can do it from the apple >> system preferences >> users and groups. Open the lock, select the guest user account and check the box to allow logging into it.

Bluetooth disappeared from system preferences and menu bar...

My bluetooth preferences disappearead from system preferences as well as the menu bar. I discovered this because my bluetooth mighty mouse stopped working. I tried replacing the batteries but nothing happened. I used my trackpad to click on the bluetooth icon on my menu bar and told it to connect to my mouse, which was there in the list. I got the swirling ball and so restarted my computer, when it came back, bluetooth was gone from the menu bar and system preferences, so now I don't know how to reconnect my mouse.
I tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM as recommended by another post, I tried it twice as the instructions outline, but I haven't had any success.
I have tried doing spotlight for bluetooth in system preferences, this takes me to keyboard and mouse, then I get this message:
"The Bluetooth tab of Keyboard & Mouse preferences is hidden because you don't have a Bluetooth module installed or attached to your computer."
When I do a spotlight on the entire system, I get a result for bluetooth in system preferences, when I click on that, I get this message:
"You cannot open “Bluetooth” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. You might need to connect a device to your computer to see this preferences pane."
But, the irony is, that I can't connect a bluetooth device without this option in preferences. Also, in utilities, I remember that there used to be a bluetooth setup assistant, and that is not longer there.
I realize other threads have come up on this, but I haven't found anything besides deleting the plist, restarting, and resetting the PRAM and NVRAM (whatever that is). I've tried this but haven't been successful so I'm looking for more ideas.

HI Daniel,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
~/Library/Caches.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, download and install the 10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
It's ok to do this even though you are already running 10.5.8.
Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. I already tried to rebuild the iPhoto Library (all the possible options) and tried to update teh version from 9.4.3 to 9.5 but the problem still persists: is there a way to delete this slideshow without selecting it ? How can I solve the problem, please?
Kind Regards

Can you restore your iPhoto Library from a backup version, that was created before you added the slideshow?
If not, have you tried to rebuild the slideshow with iPhoto Library Manager?
As described by Terence Devlin here: Re: iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

Launching Acrobat 9 from system preference pane

How do you launch new Acrobat 9 from System Preference pane? Message comes up "FMCore stopped. Start from System Preference pane, then relaunch. Illustrator does the same thing.

Update your Extensis Suitcase with the latest version. Check on their website. It's not an Acrobat or Illustrator problem.

Cannot open anything from system preferences

I'm getting the "Systems Preferences quit unexpectedly" message and now will not allow me to open anything from systems preferences. I;m getting the same problem with my emial app

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
