Date & time : no 'set automatically' anymore....

Hi,
I don't have the 'set automatically on/off' toggle in 'settings/General/Date and Time' anymore.Does anybody else noticed that too ?
Does that mean you will have to change manually the Timezone each time you travel to another country ? This setting was very handful.

Hi,
I believe, this has something to do with your carrier.
I have 2 SIM cards from the 2 official carriers in Denmark. If I use Telia -> I can use "automatic" mode
If I use Telenor -> The setting is missing.
I just tried this test: Use Telenor and change the time way off, turn off and change SIM card.
Turn back on, and check the setting - which is set to automatic
After some time (perhaps a turn off/on) I was looking at the battery page (Slide to unlock) and then the time changed.
I have compared the 2 .ipcc files and there is a setting which differs:
<key>SupportsNITZ</key>
<true/>
or <false/>
The "true" setting is from the SIM card which can auto update the time.
The "false" setting is from the SIM card which can't auto update the time.

Is there any way to turn off the ical feature whereby someone emails you a meeting date/time and it automatically goes on your iCal?

Is there any way to turn off the iCal feature whereby when someone emails you a meeting date/time and it automatically appears on your calendar? Once there they can't even be edited or deleted.

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
You should be able to delete events in iCal as long as they are not from a "Subscription" calendar. Subscriptions show up on the left hand side of iCal under the "Subscription" category if you have any.
You can tell iCal to not check your mail program for invites by going and unchecking the box found in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > "Automatically retrieve..."
Hope that helps!

IPhone time when "set automatically" off by 2 minutes (AT&T?)

I've noticed that the time on my iPhone is about 2 minutes behind what actual time is. I am in Des Moines, Iowa, so perhaps there is some issue with the signal AT&T is sending, but my girlfriend's iPhone also is two minutes off.
Has anyone else noticed the the automatic time on their AT&T iPhone is not accurate?
(In my case, accurate time is the time I am seeing on Mac OS X when using the "Set date & time automatically" option in the Date & Time control panel; if I compare at www.time.gov I find the same time, so it sure looks like AT&T is sending the wrong time out.)

When time is set to automatic on the iPhone, the iPhone displays the time which is being fed to it by the tower to which it is connected at any given moment. Thus if the tower is not set correctly, the iPhone will display the wrong time. You can call AT&T to notify them of significant errors, but switching the iPhone to manual time setting is better in areas where there are significant irregularities, particularly if time stamps vary greatly between towers!

Why can't I sync my facebook invitations to my iCal? My Mac Mail won't detect the date/time on the email anymore.

I have been trying to sync my facebook invitations to my iCal and no longer able to do this through my Mac Mail. When I would receive a facebook invitaiton through my comcast email, I used to be able to hover my mouse over the date/time of the invitation and then I could easily "Add to iCal" or "See Date in iCal", but am no longer able to do so. I can still add other invitations, just not the facebook invitations. Any ideas?

You can get your photos off your phone. If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly. For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).

Reminders are not keeping the date/time I set and are not reminding me.

When I create a reminder, I schedule the date/time to be reminded. Once I close the Reminders, the date/time are removed from the items in the list. This just started a few days ago. I haven't done an update; my phone is up to date.
Thanks!

Body text in all of the Page Layout templates is filler text, in Latin. It's there to show the user (that would be you) what a mass of text will look like on the page, without the distraction of having the words actually mean something in the language of the user.
That filler text is also "Placeholder" text. Click anywhere in the box holding that text and ALL of the text in that box will be selected. Type a single character, and ALL of the placeholder text will disappear, replaced by the character you typed.
(Some) Headline text in the same templates is in English (possibly in other languages in other localizations), which may or may not be a good idea. A headline reading "Vikings new Champs!!" could blind the user to several posible uses for that template. A headline reading "Lorem Ipsum" leaves those possibilities open.

Date & Time - Set Automatically Not Working

I'm experiencing some very quirky behviour with the time that appears on status bar on the home screen and the world clocks.
Ever since the DST change on the weekend my iPhone no longer acquires the correct time from the network when I have "set automatically" enabled for Date & Time. Prior to this I have traveled through various time zones and the correct time would always be displayed. Even on the World Clocks.
Now the iPhone acquires time that is -1hr. However, all the World Clocks appear correct (even for the local city that I'm in).
If I disable "set automatically" and select the city I'm in everything returns to normal and the World Clocks continue to function.
Since I travel a lot it really bothers me that the set automatically doesn't work and I would really like a long term solution so I can keep it enabled.
In the meantime, can anyone help explain the following:
1. How is time stored on the iPhone? Is it set to local time or GMT with a timezone offset?
2. How does it acquire time and timezone from the carrier?
3. How does it determine the time to display on the status bar and screen saver?
4. How does it determine the time to display for the World Clocks?
I am running firmware 1.1.4

I am currently in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Current timezone is UTC/GMT -5 (CDT - Central Daylight Time).
When date & time is set to automatic, the time in the status bar is incorrect for Winnipeg by -1 hr. All the times in the World Clock are correct (including the display for Winnipeg).
I recall an issue I had when using Bootcamp on my Macbook. The Macbook records system time (and all time stamps) in UTC/GMT but displays the correct time once you specify the timezone offset. This caused problems when booting back and forth with Windows because Windows assumed the system clock was set to the local time (I now use VMWare Fusion). This issue was well documented on the Apple site.
I'm assuming the iPhone behaves similar to my Macbook and Mac OS and expects the system time to be set as UTC/GMT. The behaviour I'm experiencing suggests the UTC/GMT time is actually being set correctly on the iPhone (otherwise, the world clocks wouldn't display the correct time) but the timezone offset is incorrect for Winnipeg (which determines how it's displayed in the status bar).
I did some significant troubleshooting last night and gathered some data to further explain the problem. However, I fear that if I post it publicly the thread may be deleted.

Date & Time Set Automatically locate me in China!

I upgraded my iTouch 4G to iOs 5 the other day. A couple of days later, in the middle of the night, the time zone switched to Shanghai and I missed my doctor's appointment because the iPod thought I was in China. Now, I live in Reykjavík, Iceland, nowhere near China. What the heck has happened? I switched 'Set Automatically" off and set it to Reykjavík and it works fine. Still, when I use the Facebook app my location is Shenyang, Liaoning, China!
Is this an iOs 5 glitch or what the heck is going on? I've tried it over a different wifi and it's the same thing.

IPhone 5 won't hold Date & Time "set automatically."

Date & Time, when "set automatically," arbitrarily resets itself to a date and time in August.
Setting Date & Time manually works fine.
There is a thread on this glitch on the Apple Forums. It's happening in all time zones.
Apple says it's a Verizon issue.
Verizon claims it's an Apple software problem.
Anyone got a definitive answer for this?

This is the same info I posted in the Apple forum about my attempts to resolve this issue so far...
So this is what I have tried...
Turn off Auto Time and set time manually.... Fail
Reset All Settings (under General menu).... Fail
Leave disconnected from Wi-Fi.... Fail
Restore software and set up from back up.... Fail
Restore and set up as new phone... Fail
Replace phone at Apple Store... Fail
Replace sim card at Verizon store.... Fail
Restore firmware using a fresh downloaded file... Fail
Restore firmware and set up from scratch with a new iTunes account without downloading any apps, contacts or anything.... Fail
I have verified the date/time settings on my 2 month old MacBook Pro I use to sync phones
I have verified the date/time settings on my Linksys router (not that that matters because the time changes when its not connected to the router)
All of the above has been done on both a white and a black 16gig iPhone 5 on Verizon...
The date/time for both is always behind 14 days 18 hours 48 minutes and 19 seconds so that tells me it is keeping time with something... Lets collectively compile all this info so we can get to the bottom of this problem and get it worked out quickly

TS3920 iPad 1 w/ iOS 5 on Barcelona time zone location when Automatically Set Date/Time is turned on. How do I get all of my devices back to PST time?

Turn off Automatically Set Date/Time and set your time zone.

How to create a Date or time field that automatically saves current date or time?

hello,
i want to know that how to create a Date/Time field that automatically shows current Date/Time when .pdf form is opened.
also want to how to stop user to give input in Date/Time field
currently im putting a Date field but it is accepting user input.
hoping for quick response
Thanks in advance!

You can place the below code in the initialize event of the field to display the current date and time.
Set the language to FormCalc.
You can play around the formats to get the desired format of date and time.
if($.rawValue eq null or $.rawValue eq "") then
$.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")," ", Num2Time(Time(), "h:MM:SS A"));
endif
You can not restrict the input area in Date time field instead you can validate the input while existing the field.
(OR) set the field to either readOnly or protected mode.
Thanks
Srini

Automatic date & time not working on my iPhone 4S

Anyone got any ideas on why, when I set date & time to change automatically, does my iphone 4s revert to London time regardless of where I am?

Switch to manual and the time where you are. Do it several time then return to automatic. Correct time should stand

Automatic Date & Time

Somehow the Automatic date & time, and the Automatic time zone settings get themselves unchecked. I don't know how it happens, but it's happened three times in the past month. Is there some way to lock them, and perhaps other settings as well, so they can't be changed? Or is access to all settings on the LG G2 wide open all the time?

Thank you for the quick response! I have never backed up the phone nor restored to factory data reset. It's a new device. I've had it for about a month. I am the only user of this phone. There are no kids in the house.
I suspect what's happening is that it is very easy to get to the settings page from the front panel, and that if the I put the phone in my pants pocket, it doesn't take much to get into settings mode and from there to the date settings and from there turning off those automatic time/date settings. I've notice other settings get turned off as well, so it's not just the date and timezone. If there was some way to make it harder to get to the settings page, that would help a lot. Maybe if that link were hidden, or just not on the front panel?
The first time this happened I was on a trip to a different time zone. I set the alarm clock to wake me up for the flight back home, and when did went off it was 32 minutes late. The next time it happened I had set an alarm clock for a morning business meeting and it got me there an hour early. And then it happened again this week but now I check the time every night, so I caught it.
I was using a blackberry for years before this phone, and they made the settings pages well hidden. So I was hoping there was a way they could be hidden better on this phone.

Setting compile date & time to a Java String variable

I was wondering does the NetBeans IDE have a capability to grab the current compile date & time and set it to a Java String, updating it at each compile. I know you can set is in a template, but isn't that fixed once forever when the file is created.
Just wondering.

If you're using Ant you can have it maintain a file with the last build date in it, and that can be a .java file if you so desire.
Applications should be completely recompiled before shipping or deployment so it doesn't really make sense to have a compile date per Java source file.

Automatically displaying date and time in a date/time field on form initialize

Good day all;
I am trying to have the current date and time automatically be generated in a “date/time” field when the form is opened.
I went through the forum and found an entry from Srini “ xfa.host.messageBox("" + Date());” . Of course this brought up a system message box with the date and time.
I then tried “DateTimeField1.rawValue = (“”+date())… This also gave me a system message box with the date and time…
Please let me know where I am going wrong
Chomp

Found the answer... And yes... in was in the "help" section... What can I say I was making it a lot more crazy than I needed to.
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1.
In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2.
In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3.
Select the Runtime Property option.
4.
View the form in the Preview PDF tab.

How to set network date/time?

Apple TV wont let me continue setup until network date/time is set. Runs in endless circles trying to set but never does. WIFI is good with strong signal and everything has been reset.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    4.    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.
