Entering events in 24 hour format

I use the 24 hour clock on my computer. When I enter a new event, and enter the time, it's extremely frustrating to enter it. For example, if I want to enter an event at 1900 (7PM), and I enter 19, into the hour field, it shows 09, if I enter 7, it shows 7AM and then I have to use the keyboard up and down arrows 11 times. Is there a trick to entering 24 hours format times without having to use the up and down arrows to change the time?

I had a similar problem with one of my other applications: Now Up-to-Date & Contact.
The answer for that was:
"Your post caused us to look at this again. I confirmed from before that if I change the format (System Preferences->Date & Time->Open International, Formats), then set the time to be the 24 hour clock, NUD is not using that format.
However, if I first set the Region to be "United Kingdom", in NUD the 24 hour clock is supported. If I don't like the UK default settings, I can further customize them to use the US Dollar, reformat to month/day/year (rather than day/month/year), etc. If I start with the US region and then change to the 24 hour clock, NUD doesn't recognize the format change.

How do I enter time data in A cell in 24-hour format?

Since I work in 24-hour time format, I want to enter time data in a cell in same format. I know how to display 24-hour format, but data entry is allowed only in 12-hour (am /pm) format. Kindly throw some light. Thanks !

1) select the cell(s) you want formatted as 24 hour times
2) Open the cell inspector (top right of your windows usually)
3) Change the Cell format to "Data and Time"
4) Change the "Date" to "None"
5) Change the "Time" to "19:08" (the 24-hour formatter)

How can I change my iCal times to be listed in 12 hour format?

I have the system set for 12 hour but it does not seem to carry over to iCal. I have restarted since changing the system to 12-hour clock.
By the way, I mean the little timeline running down the left hand side in week view. Individual appointments are opening in 12-hour format.
I've worked on this a bit and now noticed that the event times are listed as 5:30PM-18 etc. Any hour which is 'on the hour' is a single number from a 24 hour clock! Wierd.
Don't want to change away from UK settings because then I'll have to mess with date formats and everything. There must be a way to edit the date, although doing it through 'Language & Text' doesn't seem to be having the desired effect!
Thanks

This isn't Lion-specific. I had the same prob changing OS a couple of years ago and now again changing to Lion on a new laptop.
Changing the Date and Time settings would do it (you'd think) but it doesn't. It was always embedded in International (now Language &Text). It seems to be a bug though as I've Custom Edited selecting 12-hr clock with am/pm and have the same issue. On-the-hour has no am/pm or zeros.
I've learnt not to waste too much energy on it once it doesn't make logical sense as it's generally a bug.
I'm loving Lion though - even unexpectedly using the natural scrolling.....but I digress....

Cal alarms tell me events are an hour later

my ical alarms tell me events are an hour later than actually put into ical.
i live +1 hour GMT, but have time zone support on.
ideas?

After a good few hours speaking to Tier 2 Applecare, the problem hasn't been fixed. It may be a hardware issue with the iPod or Mac....
Bearing in mind I live abroad, in a non-English speaking land, using MobileMe.
Here was their suggestion:
1 Open iSync - go to Preferences - reset history
2 Open System Preferences - International - Format - choose your country
3 Open iCal and check it matches your location, date and time
4 Still in Sys Prefs, go to MobileMe - Sync and sync now
*Option two!*
What I've done is a workaround:
1 Set Time Zone Support to London on the ipod, in Mail, Contacts & Calendars
2 In General Date & Time settings it's set for +1GMT, where I live
- this meant manually resetting the time to be correct
3 while enabling language/location settings on my Mac
This means iCal will be in a foreign language on the Mac, which is ok if you speak it.
Nevertheless, in syncing, it takes a couple of times to match between Mac and iPod.
If anyone has something better, please let me know.

Can you make an enter event in topmostsubform that gets the field name of any field thats entered

Looking for some help.
I have a modified Enter Event I'm trying to use. What my expected results are: When you click on a field on the PDF, it would open up a certain webpage or file depending on what field is entered. I currently have:
if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat") {
app.launchURL("www.cnn5.com" + "/" + event.target.documentFileName + "&" + this.name, true);
else {
xfa.host.gotoURL("www.cnn5.com");
In this example, i'm using a bogus address obviously. "event.target.documentFileName" gives me the PDF name which is what I want, but I need to scrub off the ".pdf" at the end of it. I know I can use this in every field that I want it in, but I'm looking to see if I can get this code in just the topmostsubform only due to having hundreds of forms I might be using this form and to save time.
When this is used in the topmostsubform, it gives me the URL: "www.cnn5.com/PDFname.pdf&TopmostSubform" no matter what field i click into. Is there something i can change this.name to? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, i'll need to have this event to be able to use multiple times, because currently in the topmostsubform, it only activates on the first field that I enter and doesn't activate on fields after that. Suggestions please? Thank you

Hi,
Are you using event propagation? If you are try
xfa.event.target.name
Otherwise have a look at this http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/03/xfa_30_event_propagation.html

Enter event not triggering for read-only checkbox

I have some objects in a form that get "locked" when the user signs the form. I'm not using the digital signatures. Instead, when the user types their name into the signature text field, a script runs on the change event that makes all of the fields in the form read only. It also unlocks the fields if the signature is deleted.
I was worried that we would get a lot of phone calls with users that didn't understand that the form had locked ("Why doesn't this form work?!"), so I added some code to the enter event for all of the fields that would pop up a messagebox to explain to people trying to edit a signed form that the form was locked and that they would need to delete the signature to edit the form.
This plan works perfect for my text fields and decimal fields. It does NOT work at all for my checkboxes. For some reason, the enter event is never triggered for read-only checkboxes. I don't see any other events that would obviously work for me though. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks, those are reasonable suggestions.
In the first suggestion, I'm unclear about one aspect of how I would accomplish this. I assume I would allow people to modify fields in the form, but that when they did, a msgbox would pop up that would inform them that, if they continued with this modification to a signed form, the signature would be removed. I'm all good to that point. But if they answered that they do not want to continue modifying that field and removing the signature, how can I code it to set the value back to what it was before the change? Is there some method that will give me access to the value of the field BEFORE the attempted modification? I went looking for something like $.previousvalue, but found nothing.
I'd suggest that I could use a two-stage solution, in which I store the previous value on the enter event, and save it just in case they do not want to change the field when prompted by the msgbox, but since the enter event does not exist for checkboxes (my original problem), that seems like it won't work.
As far as radio button suggestion, I like radio buttons very much except for one fatal flaw: they aren't (as far as I can tell) clearable. That is a shame. Clearly some people (like me) want both exclusivity AND clearability. And we'd like the controls to have an enter event. But I know I'm demanding Anyway, as it is, I just end up having to use checkboxes and create a boatload of silly code to make them exclusive.

How do I change to 24 hour format in iCal?

I have an iMac Maverick 10.9.1 Currently iCal is set up with the AM/PM format. How do I change it the 24 hour format(i.e. 1800 = 6pm)?

arneomi93,
Quit Calendar, open System Preferences...>Language & Regions>Regions: and set/-re-set the appropriate Region. Also, make sure the "Time format:" in that preference pane is checked for 24-Hour Time.

Different 'mouse enter' event / 'set busy' vi behaviour in LV8?

In my program, I used the mouse curcor 'set busy' vi to lock the front panel during a measurement. However, I did want the 'cancel measurement' button to be available. I solved that by adding a 'mouse enter' and 'mouse leave' event for that button, that would enable the mouse when it was over the button. (And disable when it left again)
Worked fine in LV7, but it seems that in Labview 8, this little trick doesn't work anymore...
Apparantly, now the 'mouse enter' event only fires when the cursor isn't set to 'busy'. How do I perform something similar to my old trick in Labview 8?

I too had a similar issue when upgrading my application source code from LabVIEW 7.1 to 8.0. There are a couple of things you could try.
1) Keep calling the "set cursor busy" vi, but don't disable mouse clicks (a boolean input to the set busy VI). Now add a new event to your event structure to monitor the panel for any "mouse down?" events. Whenever this event occurs, the user is trying to click somewhere, so wire a TRUE to the "Disabled?" input of the event. Now to keep your cancel button from being filtered out, add some code to determine if the x,y coordinates of the mouse down event are over your cancel button, if so then don't filter this event.
2) Keep calling the "set cursor busy" vi, but again don't disable the mouse clicks. Now whenever you want to disable all user events on your front panel controls, open a reference to each front panel control and set it to disabled (all except the cancel button of course). This sounds difficult, but it is actually really easy. There is a VI property you can read to get references to each FP control.
I personally used the 2nd option in my code to do something similar. I've attached the VI you can use to disable all you FP controls (with exceptions), and also an example of how I used it. It's a very small VI.
Hope this helps.

Viewing Events in a List Format

Trying to Organize on Iphoto over 15k Photos that were previously very organized on my PC. On the PC I had my photos in what would be considered folders/albums on I photos. I did the import from my external harddrive and ended up with a lot of random events - many in order many not. Guess I'm used to viewing photos differently and the view in events is not cutting it at all.
Is there a way to view events in a list format - similar to explorer on the PC. What have you found as the best way to organize photos coming from a PC? I had mine by year - example 2009/ then named for each month - 1Jan09NewYears, 2Feb09Valentine's Day etc. on the PC.
I know this is really a personal choice - just looking for ideas and a WAY to View Events in a LIST Format.
Thanks

Is there a way to view events in a list format - similar to explorer on the PC.
No. iPhoto is about the Photos not the Filenames.
What have you found as the best way to organize photos coming from a PC? I had mine by year - example 2009/ then named for each month - 1Jan09NewYears, 2Feb09Valentine's Day etc. on the PC.
You can find all the photos from a specific date very easily:
a: Click on the Magnifying Glass in the Search Box at the bottom of the iPhoto Window. Select Date. Now you can find all the pics from any Year, Month or Day, just by selecting that Year, Month or Day
b: Use a Smart Album: (File -> New Smart Album) based on Date will again, find all the pics from a Date or Date Range.
However, If I might comment: Looking for a List View, Sorting on Date are simply trying to use File Organisation on your Photos. iPhoto has many more ways of doing things, and much more flexible. For instance, while knowing the date a pic was taken makes it really easy to find, what if you don't know the date? Again, the date is easy, but what if you want to have a separate heading for your favourite photos, regardless of date and so on. This is a canned answer I use and it explains my organising system:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

How do I change the new iTunes play list total time display from 1.5 hours format to exact display of 1hr 31min 12sec.

In the new iTunes the play list total time displays in 1.5 hours format, how do I get it to clearly show 1hr 31min 12sec like before, I want the exact time so I can properly fit all the songs when I want to burn this playlist to a disc. You can no longer just click on it to change the display format. Nor can you right click, control click, or change it in options. If anyone knows I would very much appreciate your imput. Thank You.

Actually, that's the problem ... in iTunes *11* it has stopped working. I have the status bar displayed, and it is stuck on the 1.x hours format.
That is very, very strange !!
I can't get that to happen on mine. It worked in 11.0 and I updated today to 11.0.1 and it's OK.
I've tried making a new playlist, I've tried changing an old playlist, smart playlist ...... all OK ????

Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet? I don't need the calendar grid. I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates. Is that possible?

Not easily. Two possibilities:
1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
The first one will probably give you what you want.

Can the calendar on the ipad show a 12 hour format instead of 24 hour?

I want my calendar on my ipad to only show a 12 hour format instead of a 24 hour one. Is this possible and if so how do i change it?

I'm sorry - I misunderstood you. You only want to see the first 12 hours of the day. Is that correct? If that is what you want to do, I don't think that's possible to remove 12 hours from the calendar view.
