Date format in Mail ToDo list

I would like to enter due dates in my ToDo list in British format. The display format is fine. Setting Preferences and restarting the computer doen't help. There is a file called ToDo.strings which might be relevant, but can anyone tell me how I force this change?

+initWithDateFormat:@"%b %1d %Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO];+
+initWithDateFormat:@"%1m/%1d/%Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO]
autorelease];+
As I said, I'm not that knowledgeable, but I can read - it seems to me all the examples given assume the English language (month first), so have you tried:
%1d/%1m/%Y
I am asking because you said:
+I have in my mail template the string "apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format= *"%b %1d, %Y"".*+
From what I just looked at, "b" or "m" is the month, so if that is what you have entered, it'll show "March 2, 2010"; however - at least in Germany - the date is displayed as 2. März 2010 (I know the Viennese have their own way of doing things, but..
The other thing that puzzled me is the fact that it says "allowNaturalLanguage: No" - again, I have no idea, but logic would dictate that yes, of course, you want the natural language which, in this case, would be German. Just a thought on this one.

Date format in mail

Currently the date of receipt is shown in the format YY/MM/DD. Is it possible to change it to MM/DD/YY?

Date format in mail - "yesterday, the day before,..."

Hello.
When using mail in the new version, the left gutter gathering all the inboxes, each message summary displays the essentials infos.
In many cases the date display is set to show the reception hour on the same day (fine), the previous day is shown as "yesterday" and the day before yesterday as "the day-before-yesterday", and finally "two days ago".
My system is in french thus it's not written" two days ago" but (I translate) "before-before-yesterday".... This doesn't help me anymore.
Here is my question: is there a way to set the date format in the message short in order to have the full numerical date as soon as "yesterday", actually to always have a numerical date display ... no more "avant-avant-hier".
Thanks

Thanks but...
I just sort of just figured out the obvious and noticed, that I'd even have a big problem if that regex of mine worked.... unluckily, there actually seem to be days with a number smaller than 3, but no negative days in the human calendar... so I'm going to rest first and think it over after that. Most likely I'm going to end up subtracting a day in unix-time and converting back, better ideas are not necessary but welcome .
(edit: oh, and thanks again - that might come handy when I ended up with the same $(\[chaos\]) trying the unix time version later)

Apple-date-format for Mail Stationary

my date for my mail stationary is not updating as it used to since i have upgraded to Mavericks
this was my code before: (works only with Mountain Lion)
xxxxx
this is my code now: (works only with Mavericks)

any one have idea what shuld i use for the date format that would work both Mountain Lion and Mavericks?
Thanks!

Steve,
I think that you may have the "wrong" choice in the Systems Preferences/International preference pane. If this is set to "United Kingdom" then Mail will generate iCal events with the correct date.
However, if (like me) you customise this in any way, OS X creates a "Custom" profile. This is no longer recognised by Mail as using UK date formats and the program then seems to default to choosing US dates. So, if you are willing to lose your customisation and switch back to the standard "United Kingdom" choices this should work.
It is just a shame that you can't have a UK date format, and some customisation of (for instance) the date/time display.

Mail todo list on iphone

The todo list on my mac is synced with my ical todo list, however my iphone todo list is empty. How can I get the todo list from my mac mail app to sync with my iphone mail app. I use mobileme to sync. Thanks.

Not a feature of iphone.
You can do a forum search and find many many posts on this. It has been asked and answered before.

Changing date/time format in mail list

If listing my mails in the standard view, the date for the received mails shows in the long date format (i.e., Thursday, November 11, 2005). Since I am working on my iBook, I want to show the date in the short format (i.e., 11/11/2005) in order to save space on the screen - some people have long subjects in their mails.
I have checked out preferences etc, but I could not figure out how to change the format. I do not want to completely hide the date received column.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
iBook G3, 500 MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That did the trick - sometimes the easiest thing to do is hard to see. Seems I have been working too long on a Windows machine (unfortunately, I have to do so at work)...
Thanks for the quick help!

Date format for To-Dos in Mail

Despite having all my settings in system preferences set to UK/British and it correctly recognising 08/11/07 as 8th November 2007, adding the same date to a ToDo in Mail it becomes 11th August (and because 2007 would be in the past) 2008. Not too useful for setting To Do dates. Is there a setting within Mail for date format that I've not found that overrides this or is it a bug that needs fixing?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Script starts:
-- This script converts column A in one table into an alphabetized list of popups. It copies the last cell in that column. Then reverts the column to text. It then refreshes popups in column A of a data table starting with a user defined row.

property DataEntryTable : "Sales" --name of table with popups to be refreshed

Finder date format in List View

I want to tell Finder NOT to display the day of the week or the spelling of the month in the date columns when it is in List View.
I want this exactly, and nothing else:
mm/dd/yyyy 12:30
I want the month and day to always use two digits. It just think it looks better when a column of data is all formatted the same exact way. And, I don't need to know that 04/17/01 was a Thursday (or whatever it was)!
I know you can resize the columns to get various amounts of info and formats, but that's too much effort, plus you get all these weird ",..." filler garbage. Let's just make it simple!!!

I think the width of the column is the sole determinant of the date format shown in list views. I use an applescript to set the size, position and column width of Finder windows to my preferred specs; it sets the date column width so that a shorter (but not shortest) date format is used (because I'm picky about that, too ). You can easily tinker with the numbers so the sizing suits your own preferences.
-- works on frontmost Finder window;
-- settings appropriate for display res 1440x900
<code>
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of window 1 to {230, 120, 1260, 820}
set sidebar width of window 1 to 200
set width of column name column of list view options of window 1 to 280
set width of column modification date column of list view options of window 1 to 180
set width of column size column of list view options of window 1 to 100
set width of column kind column of list view options of window 1 to 180
end tell
</code>
Instructions for saving scripts in case you or other readers need them: Copy and paste the above into a new Script Editor document (or highlight and use the Services -> Script Editor menu). Save as file format: Script at this path -- ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/ -- creating any folders that don't already exist. You can change the numbers in the script and use the Run button in the Script Editor toolbar to test until you get something you're happy with.

List View does not retain date formats from Excel

i am using List View control to isplay data. When i scroll the horizontal bar inlist view, the date format changes to numbers. is there were to stop this happening.
regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Are you getting the values from any live connection or is it static data from the excel file?
You can also try to goto properties of component and in the appearence tab,select the format of the values as "DATE".
Incase you are getting the values from the live connection, you can select a different cell which would reference to the data coming from the connection and use it into the components.
e.g.: if values are coming in cell"A1" then goto some empty cell as B1 and type in"=A1" and use this new cell into the component.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Amit.

How do i change date format in mac mail?

how do i change the date format in mac mail?

I just had this problem and I already was using "classic layout".
I went back to mac mail and at the top, it says, MAIL, FILE, EDIT, VIEW (etc). In VIEW, in the drop down, one of the options is ORGANIZE BY CONVERSATION ..I saw that mine was CHECKED.
I unchecked it and now all the emails are fine again, showing one by one, as opposed to all my emails from one client getting lumped together.

Wrong date format by importing event from mail

When I try to create a new event in ical through a date in mail, it identifies the date in american format (MM/DD/YYYY) instead of the european format (DD/MM/YYYY)/
In the system prefs and in ical itself (when creating a stand-alone event) the format is correct. How can I import the date also through mail in the european format?

Changing Date Format in Dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi friends, my dashboard shows a drop down list for dates , which are in format "7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM".
This is defined datetime datatype in sql server. Is there any way to change the date format in dashboard prompt to just "7/1/2008" without doing it in database side.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

Hi... Toony
In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to select i.e. show SQL,
there you write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL: select cast("timestampCOLUMN" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"
this is simple way without changing anything in rpd side...
And if you want the timestamp column somewhere in some reports you can use that column directly.
If you don't want you need to cast it as DATE.
If your question was answered then put it as answered and mark it as correct... ;)

Date Parameters and List of Values (error message date format cannot be nul

I'm new to BI Publisher. I began with a simple report that has 4 parameters. The parameters are center code, sales date, customer number, and job number. I am trying to create a list of values on my customer number based on the center code and sales date entered by the user. My query for my LOV is:
select customer_nbr
from ticket
where center_cd = :center
and trunc(trans_date) = :salesDate
salesDate is defined as a date parameter with a format of MM-dd-yy. It's default value is 04-10-07.
When I attempt to view my report after adding the LOV, I receive the error:
Date format can not be null.
What am I doing wrong? Also, I would like the salesDate to default to the current date. I have tried using sysdate as the default value. This isn't working. The salesDate defualts to null when it is set to sysdate.

"Date - allows the user to enter a date as a parameter. Note that the data type must also be "Date" and the format must be Java date format."
