Date & Time - Time Zone incorrect

Hi all, only recently has the time zone been thinking that my current location is in Hong Kong where I am actually in England (so the time should be Greenwich Mean Time). Does anyone know what this problem might be from or how to solve it? It's not incredibly important because it's just set to manual but I'd like to know the root of the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

On a desktop I would read that as an early sign that the PRAM battery was failing. Not sure if the MBP has a secondary PRAM battery, however; my MacBooks don't. Anyway, try resetting the PRAM for a start; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US

Changing Date/Time(zone) on ACS5.1

Would love to know where I can change the date/time(zone) within ACS v5.1. Changing it in the BIOS doesn't have a zone option, just date/time. ACS then displays something completely different upon boot. Haven't been able to find any settings for this in the GUI, and the one link I did find in a discussion points to a doc that apparently I'd need special access for.
Attempting to join this to AD, so instructions on setting up the NTP server would also be helpful.
None of these options were available during the clean setup of 5.1.
Thanks much!

Hi Wayne,
This can be done through the command line over a console/SSH connection.
1. To manually set the clock:

select substr(v_variable, 1, instr(v_variable, 'T') - 1) from dual; --> Replace v_variable with column name, if you are referring to table column and Dual with corresponding Table name.And yes, string between T and Hyphen ( - ) is the Time format and the string following Hyphen ( - ) is the difference of Time zone from UTC.
See a small demo attached:
alter session set nls_timestamp_tz_format = 'DD-Mon-YYYY"T"HH24:MI:SS.FF-TZH:TZM';
select systimestamp, substr(systimestamp, 1, instr(systimestamp, 'T')-1 ) date_info from dual;

Problem in Date time Zone parsing

Hi Guys,
I want format of String of time whic have time zone also. But how can i validate weather my date is correct or not .
This is i am doing because of Auto grow up problem in SimpleDateFormat.
For example : If i am parsing "2.00 AM GMT" as per mask "h:mm a z" should be correct if after format output is "2.00 AM GMT"
but if i am trying "15.00 AM GMT" as per mask it should be invalidated because after format it will return "3.00 PM GMT" this is also working as per my expectaion
But When i changed the Timzoe mask from GMT to PDT it get again fails
suggesiotn for resolving this isse willl be appreciated

Subscription renew date Time Zone ?

Hi All,
I need to know what is the Time Zone is the subscription date. i had used all the credits and the subscription was auto renewed on 3rd Feb and the subscription date is 6th Feb, but i still dont have any credits to call.
What will the credits will available?

Hello,
Due to the time it can take for some transactions to be processed, we charge your bank or PayPal account three days in advance to ensure prompt delivery of your subscription. You don’t lose these three days: your subscription is still valid for the full period that you sign up for (one, three or 12 months).
Although the recurring payment is taken three days in advance to avoid possible delays, your subscription minutes are reset based on the initial purchase date and time.
Minutes are usually added at or about midnight UTC/GMT on the due date.

Time and date + time zone

Hi. For any reason, despite Manual says, in Time & Date I will find an option to enable / disable "Daylight Saving Time", it simply doesn't exist in my iPod options.
Second issue is, when I connect my iPod at iTunes, the setted Time Zone in iPod (marked as Sao Paulo - Brazil) change automatically to Anchorage (???). why this?
not good, is apple forcing me to throw away my iPod and buy a new one?

Java.util.Date time zone

Hi
We have a very interesting problem. We are running a Java app server (ATG Dynamo) and it has decided to start working in PST even though the Unix server is configured to EST (i.e. if you run �System.our.println(new java.util.Date())� you get the time in PST. If you type date into the shell prompt you get EST). Incidentally this only happens on production. On all the other machines everything shows up as EST.
So my question is: How does Java decide what time zone it is in?
I always figured it would take that information from the System. Right?
Thank
Zeev Neumeier

It depends on your JVM and version.
Sun JVM versions before 1.1.8 had a bug which caused it to always use the zone in the JVM which was PST.
The Sun JVM uses system information to determine it. What exactly it does requires code spelunking. You can try getGMTOffsetID(),Java_java_util_TimeZone_getSystemGMTOffsetID() in C files and TimeZone.getDefault() in java. It is certainly possible that an ENV var is doing it.
If all else fails then you can explicitly set it on the commad line...

My date/time is incorrect. System pref freezes everytime I try to click date/time. Safari won't let me search the web, if i type in any link it won't respond.

I downloaded mavericks 10.9 everything has been working fine and now I turned my macbook on and the date had been changes. It now will not let me get into the date time tab in system preferences and everytime i try to click it, it just freezes and has to be force quit. This is affecting my safari. None of my top sites come up now when opened and it usually opens right to my homepage which is apple but isn't working now. Any suggestions?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Date Time Zone Issue

Hi,
I am currently integrating Salesforce with ERPLN data via Informatica Cloud ETL.
The client is on ERPLN 6.1, Fp3, and Oracle 10 database and AIX OS. Both the LN Application and Oracle database are on the same Timezone GMT +1.00.
We observed that for Sales/Service Order dates, on Application front and on actual oracle database the date shown are different. There is a difference of either 1 hour or 2 hours, based on the day light savings in Europe.
Because of this difference, there is invariable changes in dates as well. For eg. Service Order date shown on ERPLN Application is 01-Jan-2013 00.12.25, but for the same service order the date stored in oracle database is 31-Dec-2012 23.12.25. Difference of 1 hour results in change of date as well. The difference doesnt remain the same over period, since there is day light savings as well.
So when we pull this data via ODBC connectivity in to Staging Database through Informatica cloud, the date shown is that of Oracle Database. When we push this date in to Salesforce, we want the dates shown same as that of ERPLN application.
Has anyone encountered such problems before, if yes, than what is the resolution for the same? I understand we change the TimeZone of the ODBC user, but that isnt possible or it doesnt help.
Appreciate your quick reply. Thanks much.
Warm Regards,
Raviraj Raikar

Sure - that problem is encountered whenever an application accepts user input that includes date/time but no timezone information. The timezone is often the client timezone; that is, the timezone of the user entering the data. Users in two different timezones entering the same date/time at exactly the same moment may find the data value stored is an hour or two different depending on the timezone of the DB server.
Yep! What happens if you ask a friend in a different timezone to call you at 3 pm? Which timezone are you talking about? Theirs or yours? Without knowing that you can't guarantee that you get the call when you think you will.
So you already know the possible solutions: 1) you need to capture the timezone with the date/time or 2) you need to ALWAYS use the same timezone (e.g. the server timezone).
You will need to change the app to implement one of those solutions or change the back-end to determine the timezone of the user provding the data and convert it.

Why is the Time Zone incorrect in iCal?

I live in Hawaii and when I trun on the Time Zone Support (in Mail, Contacts,Calendars) and select Honolulu, it puts the time 1 hour earlier than the current time. (iCal shows 6:30 when the actual appointment is for 7:30). However, when I select Anchorage, Alaska, iCal is set to the correct time. If I turn off the Time Zone Support it sets the time 1 hour earlier - just like setting it to the Honolulu time. Can someone explain why this is happening. It start when I switched to Lion and iCloud.

Are you normally in Hawaii? What is your "home" area?

How to change Time (Zone) that Project On-Line install defaults to

We are using Project Online. and the time displayed eg., Job Queue, is 3 hours behind. ie., it is displaying Pacific time, but we are in the Eastern Time zone. Can we change it? If so how?
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos, Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hello,
There are certain areas in Project Online that will display the time zone incorrectly. All you can do is change the Regional Settings for the PWA site collection but that will not update all times as you have seen. I'm not sure if this is something
that will be resolved in the near future or not. It might be worth you opening a support ticket via the Office 365 tenant so that all the requests can officially be logged / tracked.

How to use time zone settings with calendar events ??

After looking through the questions on time zones and synchronization, I still cannot get my Palm Centro to operate the way I think it should.
I have a Verizon Centro, am using Windows XP with Outlook, and synching via the Hotsync manager 7.02 over a USB cable. I am not using Palm Desktop.
I am expecting events to shift time in the calendar when I change the time zone, but they do not.
I am preparing for a trip. I enter several test events into MS Outlook placing the events to occur in a different time zone into my calendar at the time the event would occur in my home time zone (NY). For example, a meeting from 9-10 AM in Los Angeles is put in my MS outlook calendar as 12-1 PM on the day of the meeting. Then I sync, with the time zone of my Centro and Outlook set for New York. The Centro is set to update Date, Time, Zone automatically from the network in New York. The meeting event appears as 12-1 PM on the correct day.
Then I turn off the Centro phone (ie disconnect from the Verizon network), change the time update to "Nothing" -- ie entirely manual, change the time zone to Los Angeles and set the time to the correct time in Los Angeles. I expect the meeting to shift to 9-10 AM in my Centro calendar, but it does not !!!!! I try other combinations -- Leave the time update on Date and Time automatic, and change the time zone to Los Angeles, etc. I think I tried all the combinations. Throughout, I leave the Centro phone off of the Verizon network. I cannot get the meeting to change its time in the new time zone.
What is the trick ??? What did I miss ??
You might ask why I am trying this with the phone turned off -- that is because I am really going much farther than LA, and into a GSM network where I will simply use the Centro as a PDA.
Any advice appreciated.

thepoeta --
Thanks for the response.
Indeed my preference was not set "new events use time zones".
Meanwhile, I had loaded all the applointments from Outlook, about 20 of them,
figuring I would just move them manually en route.
I will play with the time zone preference, but,
is there any way to identify the existing appointments in the
Palm as belonging to a different time zone, just using the Palm Centro ?
Thanks,
Neal

Time Zone Format

In the preferences -> database -> NLS Parameters: Date Format, I have MM-DD-YY:HH24:MI:SS and the display works great. But what do I put where to have my date times display for the Central Time Zone?

OBIEE is converting the value out of the database.
For example, I have an invoice in the database as 4/1/2010. As mentioned before, invoice date and time dim are DATE format.
When I run the report as an OBIEE user with a profile setting of EST, it converts 4/1/2010 back to 3/31/2010. The month in time dim still shows April however.
If I override the data format to "Data Time Zone", then the conversion does not happen.
Maybe something is set wrong in the business model. We would want all users regardless of time zone to see the invoice as 4/1/2010.

Time Zone keeps defaulting to GMT

I have a problem. My MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 won' retain the proper time. I am in time zone PST and whenever i reset the time to the correct PST time AND zone it does not work.
What is the fix, it looks like a software bug to me.

Hi Steven,
In the Finder head to the "Go" menu, choose "Go to Folder..." and type in /etc
Now look for the "localtime" folder (within the etc folder) and drag it to trash. (It will ask you to authenticate yourself as someone with admin permissions when you do this).
Now go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and set your date, time zone etc up again.
The problem usually occurs because of an issue arising from an earlier migration.
( This achieves the same result as the terminal approach mentioned in the other link, and is somewhat quicker and easier to perform)
Cheers
Rod

When I try to open "date/time preferences" or "system preferences" they are unresponsive.

My date/time is incorrect and when I try to open it, it is unresponsive. Also, when I try to open "system preferences" from the apple drop down menu, it is also unresponsive. How can I fix that?

You might want to try deleting your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file in your hidden User/Library folder
Use the Finder Go> Go to menu and paste this to expose the hidden folder
~/Library/Preferences
find the file, there will be two of them and Trash the one you can move, reboot and reset your preferences.
You can also use #12 and #13 OnyX routine to find any corrupt .plist files (holds your preferences) and use the same search and delete, reboot and rest preferences steps.
